Return breakdown
The unit price grew 18.5% a year over this window while distributions added 1.4%: the income came on top of capital growth, not out of it.
3-year annualized, on a shared scale: bars left of the line are negative. Capital appreciation is the fund's own unit-price change; income return is the contribution from distributions being reinvested. The two combine (multiplicatively) to the total return. This is not the cash paid; see the cash row.
Cash payments, tax character and total return use different measures. Each section states its period and basis.
Not enough history to decode this fund's yield yet.
Paid from portfolio income. 100% of the latest taxable distribution (2025 T3) was recurring income (dividends, interest, foreign income). The unit price grew 18.5% annualized over the 3-year window on top of the payout.
The fund paid a 0.6% distribution rate against a 20.1% annualized total return; the total return was at least the current distribution rate over this window.

Browse Canadian ETFs →How it's taxed
The CRA taxes each distribution dollar by its character. These shares are measured against the full taxable distribution, including any portion the fund reinvested as units rather than paying in cash.
Share of the distribution, %
| Character (2025) | % of taxable | $ / unit |
|---|---|---|
| Foreign income | 100.0% | $0.5958 |
Foreign withholding tax already taken inside the fund: $0.0777 per unit. In a non-registered account, foreign tax reported on the T3 may be claimable as a foreign tax credit, subject to T2209 limits. TFSA and RRSP accounts do not claim that T3 credit.
Based on Franklin Advisory Services, LLC's 2025 T3 / tax-factor filing. Character can vary year to year. This is not tax advice; consult a tax professional about your situation.
What you keep, in your account
Each figure below starts from the headline yield of 0.6% and shows an estimate of what you keep after tax. Where you hold the fund changes the answer: a TFSA shelters Canadian tax and can still lose foreign withholding tax when the fund has foreign withholding, a non-registered account taxes each character at its own rate, and an RRSP defers tax until you withdraw.
No Canadian tax inside a TFSA. Foreign withholding tax, if the fund holds foreign stocks, is still lost and cannot be recovered.
