MONTREAL, Dec. 31,
2024 /CNW/ - Desjardins Investments Inc. (DI),
acting as manager for Desjardins Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs),
announces today the annual reinvested income and/or capital gains
distributions (the "reinvested distributions") final amounts for
the ETFs listed on the TSX. Unitholders of record on December 31, 2024 will receive the reinvested
distributions payable in respect of these ETFs on or about
January 8, 2025. The reinvested
distributions will be reinvested in units of the applicable ETF and
the resulting units will be 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 units.
These final amounts are for the reinvested distributions only,
and do not include the ongoing periodic cash distribution amounts
which are being announced in a separate press release.
Below is the reinvested distributions final amount to be paid
per unit for the ETFs that will pay reinvested distributions:
