In The Doghouse! Largest Estimated/Actual Distributions of 2015.

/in /by

Here is my current list of funds with estimated distributions in excess of 20% of NAV.  Over 90% of fund firms in my database have reported so this list is nearing completion, but do not count on this list to be exhaustive.  I apologize if some of the funds are miscategorized – do your own research.

It’s important to note that funds on this list are not necessarily poor quality; after all, to get here the fund had to have some gains somewhere along the way.  I’m recommending you review these funds if you hold them, and you should not purchase these in a taxable account before their distribution dates.  Of course, these distributions don’t matter you if these funds are held in a tax-deferred (IRAs, Roth IRAs, 401(k) plans, etc.) account.
