TORONTO, Jan. 24, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- (TSX: TLF, TLF.U) ? Brompton Funds is pleased to announce an increase in monthly distributions for record dates from January to March 2022 for Brompton Tech Leaders Income ETF ("the Fund"):

Record Dates and Payment Dates are as follows:

The new distribution rate for TLF of $1.00 per annum, or 5.2% based on the TSX mid-day price of $19.32 on January 24, 2022, represents a 25% increase from the previous level. TLF has paid 127 consecutive monthly distributions since inception on May 20, 2011 for total distributions of $7.03 per unit. TLF.U is the unhedged unit and will also enjoy a US$1.00 per unit annual distribution rate.

On December 22, 2021, the Fund announced a special year end distribution for TLF estimated to be $1.55 per unit to unitholders of record at the close of business on December 31, 2021 which were automatically reinvested in additional units. Immediately following the issuance, the units of TLF were automatically consolidated and as a result, unitholders held the same number of units after the distribution as they did before. This amount is final at $1.55 per unit.

The Fund provides investors with exposure to a portfolio of equity securities of large capitalization global Technology companies, providing the opportunity for capital appreciation, and the opportunity for enhanced distributions and higher risk-adjusted returns due to an active covered-call writing program.

Unitholders are reminded that TLF offers a distribution reinvestment plan ("DRIP") which provide unitholders with the ability to automatically reinvest distributions, commission free, and realize the benefits of compound growth. Unitholders can enroll in a DRIP program by contacting their investment advisor.
