TORONTO, Dec. 19, 2024 /CNW/ - Scotia Global Asset Management today announced the estimated year-end cash distributions for the Scotia ETFs listed on the Cboe Canada Exchange for the 2024 tax year. Please note that these are estimated amounts only and have been calculated based upon information as of December 13, 2024.
