For historical distribution amounts,
please see distribution
information.
Distributions received by the Trust from the portfolio securities
will be distributed to the Unitholders monthly. Distributions received
from issuers in the portfolio securities have various tax treatments:
some are taxed as dividends, some as interest income and others as a
return of capital. Amounts received as a return of capital are not
taxable but must be used to reduce the adjusted cost base of an
investor’s Units. Dividends received by an individual are
generally subject to the normal gross-up and dividend tax-credit rules
applicable to dividends received on securities of a taxable Canadian
Corporation.
The tax treatment and classification of revenue of distributions
received are reported by the underlying issuers in the portfolio
securities either at the time of declaration or on an annual basis.
A Unitholder will generally be required to include in the
calculation of income the net income and the net realized taxable
capital gains of the Trust paid or payable to the Unitholder in the
year. If the distributions by the Trust to a Unitholder in any year
exceed the net income and net realized capital gains of the Trust for
the year paid or payable to the Unitholder, such distributions will not
be taxable but will reduce the adjusted cost base of the
Unitholder’s Units. For a historical breakdown of distribution
amounts, please see distribution
