Yield Strategies - iShares ETFs

Yield Strategies

Investors have many different goals. For some, it's pure growth. For others, wealth preservation. But for a significant number of Canadians, yield via distributions is paramount. And that number is growing.

Anticipating that demand, iShares is proud to announce that 16 of our exchange traded funds now have monthly distributions, bringing income to our investors more often.

Monthly distributions are a great way of accessing yield through fixed income and equity ETFs. And they're one more way iShares is responding to the requests of Investment Advisors and the needs of their clients by continually evolving our products.

FAQ

Q. Do you offer a Dividend Reinvestment Plan (DRIP)?: A. No. iShares funds are traded on a stock exchange and brokerage firms maintain records of investors' trades and holdings. BlackRock Asset Management Canada Limited (BlackRock Canada) is the trustee and manager for the Canadian iShares funds, but does not have any knowledge of individual investors' trades or holdings. Therefore, dividend reinvestment plans (often called DRIPS) and monthly purchase or redemption plans are provided by brokerage firms and not directly by BlackRock Canada. Please consult your existing broker to see if such plans are available. Canadian ShareOwner Investment Inc. (CSI) offers a dividend reinvestment service and a regular deposit investment plan for all of the Canadian iShares funds. For further information, visit CSI's website at www.investments.shareowner.com. Please note that BlackRock Canada and its affiliates assume no responsibility for the service and makes no recommendation, representation, condition or warranty regarding the advisability of utilizing the service.
