Vanguard Investments Canada Inc. today announced final
annual capital gains distributions for the Vanguard ETFsTM
listed below for the 2013 tax year.
These amounts are for the year-end capital gains distributions only,
which will be re-invested 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. The annual capital gains distributions do not include
the ongoing monthly or quarterly distribution amounts, which are
reported in a separate press release.
The ex-dividend date for the 2013 annual distributions will be December
27, 2013. The record date for the 2013 annual distributions will be
December 31, 2013, payable on January 6, 2014. The tax characteristics
for all distributions declared in 2013 will be reported in early 2014.

About Vanguard
Vanguard Investments Canada Inc. is a wholly owned indirect subsidiary
of The Vanguard Group, Inc. and manages more than $1 billion (CAD) in
assets. The Vanguard Group, Inc. is one of the world’s largest
investment management companies and a leading provider of
company-sponsored retirement plan services. Vanguard manages more than
$2.8 trillion (USD) in global assets, including $300 billion (USD) in
global ETF assets. Vanguard has offices in the United States, Canada,
Europe, Australia and Asia. The firm offers more than 160 funds to U.S.
investors and more than 100 additional funds, including ETFs, to clients
in the other markets in which the firm operates.
Vanguard operates under a unique operating structure. Unlike firms that
are publicly held or owned by a small group of individuals, The Vanguard
Group is owned by Vanguard’s US-domiciled funds and ETFs. Those funds,
in turn, are owned by Vanguard clients. This unique mutual structure
aligns Vanguard interests with those of its investors and drives the
culture, philosophy, and policies throughout the Vanguard organization
worldwide. As a result, Canadian investors benefit from Vanguard’s
stability and experience, low-cost investing, and client focus. For more
