Invesco LTD - IVZ STOCK NEWS

Invesco Canada has announced estimated December 2024 cash distributions and annual reinvested distributions for its ETFs. Cash distributions will be payable on January 8, 2025, to unitholders of record on December 30, 2024. The annual reinvested distributions, primarily consisting of capital gains and return of capital, will be automatically reinvested with immediate unit consolidation, maintaining the same number of units while increasing the adjusted cost base.

These figures are estimates as of December 15, 2024, with final rates to be confirmed around December 27, 2024. The tax characteristics for all 2024 distributions will be reported by February 2025 end. The announcement includes detailed per-unit distribution amounts for various ETF categories including asset allocation, fixed income, ESG fixed income, equity income, and low-volatility equity funds.

Invesco Senior Income Trust (NYSE: VVR) announced a decrease in its monthly distribution amount under its Managed Distribution Plan. Starting January 1, 2025, the monthly dividend will decrease from $0.0430 to $0.0380 per share, effective for the January 31, 2025 payment.

The Plan aims to provide consistent periodic cash payments to shareholders, regardless of when income is earned or capital gains realized. While it may help narrow the discount between market price and NAV, this is not guaranteed. If investment income is insufficient, the Fund may distribute long-term capital gains or return capital to maintain distribution levels. The Board retains the right to terminate or amend the Plan, which could affect the Fund's common shares market price.
