Vanguard Investments Canada Inc. today announced the final capital gains
distributions for the Vanguard ETFs™ listed on Toronto Stock Exchange
(TSX).
-
Vanguard MSCI U.S. Broad Market Index ETF (CAD-hedged)
(VUS) will distribute capital gains this year of $0.2020 per unit, or
0.70% of net asset value per unit as of December 21, 2012.
-
Vanguard MSCI EAFE Index ETF (CAD-hedged) (VEF) will

-
Vanguard Canadian Aggregate Bond Index ETF (VAB) will
distribute capital gains this year of $0.0464 per unit, or 0.18% of
net asset value per unit as of December 21, 2012.
Vanguard’s eight other TSX-listed ETFs will not make capital gains
distributions.
Unitholders of record on 31 December 2012 will receive these
distributions, which will consist generally of capital gains only. The
ex-dividend date will be 27 December 2012. The distributions will be
reinvested and the resulting units immediately consolidated, so that the
number of units held by each investor will not change. Investors holding
their units outside registered plans will have taxable amounts to report
and an increase in the adjusted cost base of their investment. Monthly
and quarterly cash distributions for December 2012 will be reported
separately. The tax characteristics for all distributions declared in
2012 will be reported in early 2013.
