The October 24 record date determines who qualifies to receive the cash, and the October 31 payment date lines up with month end, when many investors reconcile bills and reinvestment plans.

Although distributions can shift from month to month with underlying income and portfolio activity, the schedule offers a clear timeline for cash management.

The distribution grid also illustrates how payout profiles differ by mandate. Higher coupon strategies like high yield credit often sit at the top of the monthly range, while shorter duration or more defensive bond funds typically land lower.

Equity income funds can vary with dividend cycles and portfolio turnover. Investors should check their after fee yields, tax character, and whether the distribution is fully covered by income or may include return of capital, which can affect adjusted cost base and future tax outcomes.

In September, Vanguard Canada payouts and Purpose posted September distributions underscored steady income themes across bond and equity income products. NBI’s October slate keeps that cadence in focus as year end approaches.

NBI remains one of the larger multi manager fund shops in the country. As of September 30, 2025, assets under management across NBI products were valued at more than $105 billion, according to the company’s materials.

Its ETFs and ETF Series trade on the Toronto Stock Exchange and, like all funds, are subject to market price fluctuations and brokerage commissions.
