Bank of Montreal has announced its February 2026 cash distribution schedule for its exchange-traded funds and ETF Series mutual funds, with ex-dividend and record dates established for February 26, 2026, and distributions payable on March 3, 2026. The announcement encompasses a broad range of BMO investment products, providing income-focused investors with clarity on upcoming payment timelines.
In addition to regular cash distributions across its ETF portfolio, BMO designated a special reinvested distribution for the BMO Global Communications Index ETF. This special distribution comprises net realized capital gains and net income accumulated within the fund, reflecting investment performance and portfolio activity during the distribution period.
The staggered payment schedule—with the record date and ex-dividend date preceding the payment date by one week—allows investors time to settle positions while providing fund administrators adequate processing time. Investors holding BMO ETFs and ETF Series mutual funds should note these dates when evaluating their portfolio positioning and distribution expectations.
