Explanations for CBO, CBO.A, CPD, and CPD.A distribution rate changes:
CBO & CBO.A
As communicated on June 1, FTSE TMX Global Debt Capital Markets Inc. made certain enhancements to CBO's index, which were designed to improve the diversification and liquidity of the index. As a result of these enhancements, the yield to maturity of CBO's portfolio experienced a small increase, while the coupon yield also decreased. CBO's cash distribution reflects this decrease in coupon yield.
CPD & CPD.A
The change in CPD's distribution rate is a reflection of the general decline in interest rates in Canada.
