Exchange-traded fund provider Invesco PowerShares Capital Management expects to deliver zero long-term capital gains distributions across 108 of 115 equity and fixed-income ETFs for 2013.
“At Invesco PowerShares we are proud of our product line’s tax efficient track record,” says Dan Draper, Invesco PowerShares managing director of global ETFs. “Once again this year, we are pleased to report that the vast majority of PowerShares ETFs did not have long-term capital gains distributions.”
The seven PowerShares ETFs expected to make capital gains distributions this year represent less than one per cent of total franchise assets. All seven of these funds are expected to see long-term capital gains distributions under one per cent of NAV per share. These funds include:
PowerShares KBW Property & Casualty Insurance Portfolio (KBWP) USD0.045 – USD0.050
