Notes on distributions
Fixed distribution – Funds that pay a regular distribution will generally aim to do so through the generation of interest income or dividends within the fund. If a fund has a target distribution and does not generate sufficient income to cover the full amount, return of capital can be paid to meet the full target distribution amount. A portion or all of the target distribution may also consist of capital gains in the month of December, in the case of a mutual fund trust, or in May or June, in the case of a mutual fund that is structured as a corporate class.
Each fund may at its discretion change its distribution policy from time to time.
Series T distribution – Return of capital distributions reduces the adjusted cost base (“ACB”) of the investor’s securities. Capital gains taxes are generally deferred until the securities of the fund are sold or the ACB of the investors’ securities is below zero. Series T target distribution rate is not to be confused with the fund’s rate of return or portfolio yield. Investors receiving distributions from Series T may be able to defer taxes on capital gains; however, they must still pay capital gains taxes on any gains they realize on the disposition of their securities.
The Series T target distribution rate for each year is based on the net asset value of the security of that series determined as at December 31 of the prior year, except that in the case of a new series, it is based on an initial issue price of $15 per security.
†Figures are based on prior 12 month rolling average of paid distributions. ‡Distribution yields calculated using average month end NAVPU. §Income distribution is based on NAVPU on December 31, 2012. ¥Figure is a 7 day rolling average of the Money Fund's daily yield factor. ±Income distribution is based on the funds original NAVPU of $10.00. 1Formerly Manulife Dividend Class. 2Formerly Manulife Dividend Fund.
