Equium Capital Management Inc. Announces Estimated Year-End Reinvested Distributions for Its Exchange Traded Fund


TORONTO, Dec. 20, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Equium Capital Management Inc. announced today the estimated year-end reinvested distribution for the 2017 tax year for its exchange-traded series (“ETF series”) of Equium Global Tactical Allocation Fund (TSX:ETAC) (the “Fund”) that trades on the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”). Please note this is an estimated amount only as of November 30, 2017 and reflects forward-looking information. The actual reinvested distribution may differ materially from this estimate.

This is an estimated distribution of undistributed net income and/or capital gains. The distribution will be reinvested in additional shares of the ETF series. The additional shares will be immediately consolidated with the shares previously outstanding, so the number of shares outstanding following the distribution will equal the number of shares outstanding prior to the distribution.

Equium Capital Management Inc. expects to announce the final year-end reinvested distribution amount for its ETF on or about December 28, 2017. The record date for these distributions will be December 29, 2017. The actual taxable amount distributed in 2017, including the tax characteristics of this amount, will be reported to brokers through CDS Clearing and Depository Services Inc. in early 2018.
