Invesco announces estimated cash and annual reinvested distributions for its Canadian-listed Invesco ETFs

TORONTO, Dec. 19, 2018 /CNW/ - Invesco today announced the estimated December 2018 distributions for its Invesco exchange-traded funds (ETFs). Unitholders of record on December 28, 2018 will receive cash distributions payable on January 8, 2019.

Further, Invesco today announced estimated annual reinvested distributions for its Invesco ETFs. Unitholders of record on December 28, 2018 will receive these distributions, which will generally consist of capital gains and return of capital. The distributions will be reinvested and the resulting units immediately consolidated, so that the number of units held by each investor will not change and there will be an increase in the adjusted cost base of the investment. Investors holding their units outside registered plans will also have taxable amounts to report.

Please note that these figures are estimates only, as at December 15, 2018. If any changes to the rates are required, Invesco will announce the final cash and annual reinvested distribution rates for all funds on or about December 27, 2018. If no changes are required to the distribution rates per share, the rates listed below are final for the 2018 tax year. Generally, the distribution per unit is expected to increase if the net units outstanding of a fund decrease between December 15 (the tax year-end) and December 27, 2018 (the ex-dividend date), or other unforeseen events occur.

The tax characteristics for all distributions declared in 2018 will be reported before the end of February 2019.

About Invesco Ltd.
Invesco Ltd. is an independent investment management firm dedicated to delivering an investment experience that helps people get more out of life. NYSE: IVZ; invesco.com.

Commissions, management fees and expenses may all be associated with investments in ETFs. ETFs are not guaranteed, their values change frequently and past performance may not be repeated. Please read the prospectus before investing. Copies are available from Invesco Canada Ltd. at invesco.ca.

There are risks involved with investing in ETFs. Please read the prospectus for a complete description of risks relevant to the ETF. Ordinary brokerage commissions apply to purchases and sales of ETF units.

Most Invesco ETFs seek to replicate, before fees and expenses, the performance of the applicable index, and are not actively managed. This means that the sub-advisor will not attempt to take defensive positions in declining markets and the ETF will continue to provide exposure to each of the securities in the index regardless of whether the financial condition of one or more issuers of securities in the index deteriorates. In contrast, if an Invesco ETF is actively managed, then the sub-advisor has discretion to adjust that Invesco ETF's holdings in accordance with the ETF's investment objectives and strategies.

Investors should be aware of the risks associated with data sources and quantitative processes used in our investment management process. Errors may exist in data acquired from third-party vendors, the construction of model portfolios and in coding related to the index and portfolio construction process. While Research Affiliates takes steps to identify data and process errors so as to minimize the potential impact of such errors on index and portfolio performance, we cannot guarantee that such errors will not occur.
