TORONTO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Emerge Canada Inc. (“Emerge”) today announced the estimated annual capital gains distributions per unit for the exchange-traded series of units of the Emerge ARK ETFs set out below (the “Funds”) for the 2021 tax year. Please note that these are estimated amounts only as of December 15, 2021, and reflect forward-looking information which may cause these estimates to change.
These estimates are for the year-end capital gains distribution only, which will be reinvested in additional units of the respective Fund at year-end.
