Each January, Vanguard Investments Canada Inc. will report the actual return of capital for the investment funds. The total payout will remain the same, but the percentage of the payout that equals return of capital (the principal value) and the amount that equals earnings (capital gains and dividends) may differ slightly. Vanguard ETFs trade at market price not NAV. Investors must buy or sell Vanguard ETFs in the secondary market with the assistance of a brokerage firm. In doing so, investors may incur brokerage commissions and may pay more than NAV when buying and receive less than NAV when selling. |
