Macquarie Income Opportunities ETF Estimates 3.9 Cents Distribution for January

Macquarie Announces Estimated Distribution

Macquarie Investment Management Australia Limited has revealed an estimated distribution of 3.9 cents per unit for the Macquarie Income Opportunities Active ETF (ASX: MQIO) for the period ending 31 January 2025. This announcement provides investors with a preliminary indication of income returns from the fund, ahead of the final distribution amount.

Key Dates for Investors

The ex-distribution date is scheduled for 3 February 2025, meaning investors must purchase units before this date to qualify for the upcoming distribution. The record date follows on 4 February 2025, when the register will be finalized to determine eligible unitholders. The expected payment date for the distribution is 18 February 2025, when investors will receive their income either as cash or reinvested units.

Distribution Reinvestment Plan Details

Investors have the option to participate in the Distribution Reinvestment Plan (DRP), allowing distributions to be automatically reinvested into additional units of the ETF. To elect this option for the current distribution, unitholders must submit their election by 5 February 2025. If no election is made, distributions will be paid in cash to the nominated Australian financial institution account, or reinvested if no account details are provided.

Investor Considerations and Disclaimers

Macquarie cautions that the announced distribution is an estimate and may differ from the final amount. Investors are advised to review the Fund’s Product Disclosure Statement and Target Market Determination to ensure alignment with their financial objectives and risk tolerance. The announcement also reiterates that investments carry inherent risks, including potential delays in repayment and loss of income or principal.

As the distribution date approaches, investors will be watching closely for confirmation of the final distribution figure and any updates from Macquarie regarding fund performance or market conditions that could impact income returns.
