, Oct. 31, 2025 /CNW/ – BMO Asset Management Inc., as manager of the BMO ETFs, today announced a special reinvested distribution for unitholders of BMO SPDR Financials Select Sector Index ETF (TSX: ZXLF) (the “ETF”).
The reinvested distribution for BMO SPDR Financials Select Sector Index ETF generally represents net realized capital gains and net income. The reinvested distribution is not paid in cash, but is reinvested in additional Canadian dollar denominated units of BMO SPDR Financials Select Sector Index ETF at a price equal to the net asset value per unit of the ETF.
The additional units will be immediately consolidated with the previously outstanding units such that the number of outstanding units following the special distribution will be equal to the number of units outstanding prior to the special distribution. A reinvested distribution will increase the unitholder’s adjusted cost base for BMO SPDR Financials Select Sector Index ETF. Non-resident unitholders may have the number of additional units reduced because of withholding tax.
Unitholders of record at the close of business on November 6, 2025 will receive the reinvested distribution on November 10, 2025. The actual taxable amount of the special reinvested distribution, including its tax characteristic, will be reported to brokers through CDS Clearing and Depository Services Inc. (CDS) in early 2026.
The special reinvested distribution amount per unit of the ETF is as follows:

Distributions of net income and net taxable gains of an ETF will be included in the unitholder’s income for tax purposes in the year they are paid, whether or not such amounts are reinvested in additional units.
