Inc. and BMO Investments Inc. today announced the 2021 annual
reinvested distributions for BMO Exchange Traded Funds (BMO ETFs)
and ETF Series of the BMO Mutual Funds (ETF

for ordinary income tax.

reinvested distributions. The actual taxable amounts, including the
tax characteristics, will be reported in 2022.
