TORONTO, Dec. 7, 2020 /CNW/ - CIBC (TSX: CM) (NYSE: CM) – CIBC Asset Management Inc. today announced the estimated 2020 annual reinvested capital gains distributions for the CIBC ETFs and ETF Series of the CIBC Fixed Income Pools. The distribution estimates are based on information available as of October 30, 2020, and are subject to change prior to the final distribution.

These estimates are for the year-end capital gains distributions only, and do not include cash distributions for December 2020. The annual capital gains distributions will be reinvested in additional units of the CIBC ETF or ETF Series. The additional units will be immediately consolidated with the previously outstanding units such that the number of outstanding units following the distribution will equal the number of units outstanding prior to the distribution.

The final year-end capital gains distribution amounts, as well as the cash distribution amounts for December 2020, are expected to be announced on December 23, 2020. The actual taxable amounts of cash and reinvested distributions for 2020, including the tax characteristics of the distributions, will be reported in 2021.
