What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

BlackRock Asset Management Canada Limited announced that the iShares Canadian Real Return Bond Index ETF expects to make a special cash distribution to unitholders in December 2026. This distribution results from the maturity of real return bonds held by the ETF. The Government of Canada ceased issuing these real return bonds in November 2022, meaning the proceeds cannot be reinvested in new issuances. The special distribution is expected to represent approximately 14% of the ETF's portfolio, though the value will vary based on the Consumer Price Index.
