TORONTO, Dec. 22, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- BlackRock Asset Management Canada Limited (“BlackRock Canada”), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of BlackRock, Inc. (NYSE: BLK), today announced the estimated annual reinvested capital gains distributions for the iShares ETFs listed on the TSX or NEO for the 2020 tax year. Please note that these are estimated amounts only as of December 15, 2020 and could change if the iShares Funds experience subscriptions or redemptions prior to the ex-dividend date or due to other factors.These estimates are for the annual non-cash capital gains distributions, which are typically reinvested in additional units of the respective funds at the year-end, and do not include estimates of ongoing monthly, quarterly, semi-annual, or annual cash distribution amounts. The additional units will be immediately consolidated with the previously outstanding units such that the number of outstanding units following the distribution will equal the number of units outstanding prior to the distribution.BlackRock Canada expects to announce the final annual reinvested distribution amounts on or about December 30, 2020, for all funds. The record date for the 2020 annual distributions will be December 31, 2020, payable on January 6, 2021. The actual taxable amounts of reinvested and cash distributions for 2020, including the tax characteristics of the distributions, will be reported to brokers (through CDS Clearing and Depository Services Inc. or “CDS”) in early 2021. BlackRock Canada expects to announce the final monthly, quarterly, semi-annual, and annual cash distribution amounts, as applicable, for 2020, on or about December 29, 2020, for all funds except the iShares Premium Money Market ETF, for which a press release will be issued on or about December 30, 2020.Details regarding the “per unit” distribution amounts are as follows:Fund NameFund TickerEstimated Annual Reinvested Capital Gains Distribution Per Unit ($) iShares 1-10 Year Laddered Corporate Bond Index ETFCBH0.00000 iShares 1-5 Year Laddered Corporate Bond Index ETFCBO0.00000 iShares S&P/TSX Canadian Dividend Aristocrats Index ETFCDZ0.00000 iShares Equal Weight Banc & Lifeco ETFCEW0.35680 iShares Gold Bullion ETFCGL0.00000 iShares Gold Bullion ETFCGL.C0.00000 iShares Global Real Estate Index ETFCGR0.00000 iShares U.S. High Yield Fixed Income Index ETF (CAD-Hedged)CHB0.00000 iShares International Fundamental Index ETFCIE0.00000 iShares Global Infrastructure Index ETFCIF0.00000 iShares Japan Fundamental Index ETF (CAD-Hedged)CJP0.00000 iShares 1-5 Year Laddered Government Bond Index ETFCLF0.00000 iShares 1-10 Year Laddered Government Bond Index ETFCLG0.00000 iShares US Fundamental Index ETFCLU0.00000 iShares US Fundamental Index ETFCLU.C0.00000 iShares Premium Money Market ETF(2)CMR0.00307 iShares Global Agriculture Index ETFCOW0.24815 iShares S&P/TSX Canadian Preferred Share Index ETFCPD0.00000 iShares Canadian Fundamental Index ETFCRQ0.00000 iShares Short Duration High Income ETF (CAD-Hedged)CSD0.00000 iShares US Dividend Growers Index ETF (CAD-Hedged)CUD0.89616 iShares Convertible Bond Index ETFCVD0.00000 iShares Emerging Markets Fundamental Index ETFCWO0.00000 iShares Global Water Index ETFCWW2.94965 iShares Global Monthly Dividend Index ETF (CAD-Hedged)CYH0.00000 Dynamic Active Tactical Bond ETFDXB0.19114 Dynamic Active Canadian Dividend ETFDXC0.00000 Dynamic Active Global Financial Services ETFDXF0.00000 Dynamic Active Global Dividend ETFDXG5.00783 Dynamic Active Crossover Bond ETFDXO0.00000 Dynamic Active Preferred Shares ETFDXP0.00000 Dynamic Active U.S. Dividend ETFDXU3.60821 Dynamic Active Investment Grade Floating Rate ETFDXV0.00000 Dynamic Active U.S. Mid-Cap ETFDXZ0.22083 iShares Canadian Financial Monthly Income ETFFIE0.00000 iShares ESG Balanced ETF PortfolioGBAL0.00000 iShares ESG Conservative Balanced ETF PortfolioGCNS0.00000 iShares ESG Equity ETF PortfolioGEQT0.00000 iShares ESG Growth ETF PortfolioGGRO0.00000 iShares Silver Bullion ETFSVR0.00000 iShares Silver Bullion ETFSVR.C0.00000 iShares Core MSCI All Country World ex Canada Index ETFXAW0.00000 iShares Core MSCI All Country World ex Canada Index ETF(1)XAW.U0.00000 iShares Core Balanced ETF PortfolioXBAL0.00000 iShares Core Canadian Universe Bond Index ETFXBB0.00000 iShares S&P/TSX Global Base Metals Index ETFXBM0.00000 iShares Canadian Corporate Bond Index ETFXCB0.00000 iShares S&P Global Consumer Discretionary Index ETF (CAD-Hedged)XCD0.00000 iShares Canadian Growth Index ETFXCG0.00000 iShares China Index ETFXCH0.00000 iShares Core Conservative Balanced ETF PortfolioXCNS0.00000 iShares S&P/TSX SmallCap Index ETFXCS0.00000 iShares ESG Advanced MSCI Canada Index ETFXCSR0.13674 iShares Canadian Value Index ETFXCV0.00000 iShares Core MSCI Global Quality Dividend Index ETFXDG0.00000 iShares Core MSCI Global Quality Dividend Index ETF(1)XDG.U0.00000 iShares Core MSCI Global Quality Dividend Index ETF (CAD-Hedged)XDGH0.00000 iShares Core MSCI Canadian Quality Dividend Index ETFXDIV0.00000 iShares ESG Advanced MSCI EAFE Index ETFXDSR0.48678 iShares Core MSCI US Quality Dividend Index ETFXDU0.00000 iShares Core MSCI US Quality Dividend Index ETF(1)XDU.U0.00000 iShares Core MSCI US Quality Dividend Index ETF (CAD-Hedged)XDUH0.69224 iShares Canadian Select Dividend Index ETFXDV0.00000 iShares J.P.
