Canadian ETF return of capital lookup

How to use these figures

Use this table to find verified return of capital and reinvested distribution amounts for covered Canadian ETFs. Return of capital lowers your adjusted cost base, and a reinvested distribution raises it. The related guide below explains the tax mechanics behind the adjustment.

A zero in this table is a verified figure, not a gap. It means the issuer reported no return of capital and no reinvested distribution for that period.

Some issuers publish a figure for every distribution date. Others publish only one total for the tax year. A row marked annual is a whole-year figure and cannot be split across part of a year, so if you bought or sold partway through the year you will need the issuer's own breakdown to work out your share.

Archived copies link to the Internet Archive. Some issuer pages load their figures with scripts, so an archived capture may not display every figure.

For older issuer tax documents and longer histories for many of the large Canadian ETFs, see etftax.org, an independent archive of ETF tax breakdowns.

Symbols ending in .U trade in US dollars, and their figures are US dollars per unit, as the issuer publishes them. The calculator converts them to Canadian dollars before it adjusts your cost base.

To apply these figures to your own holdings, run your broker export through the ACB calculator. Verified funds are adjusted automatically, with a review panel to check each per-unit amount before it is applied.

A fund or year missing from this table means we do not have verified issuer data for it. It does not mean the return of capital was zero. Check the fund company's own tax documents before assuming no adjustment applies.
