The payment of distributions should not be confused with a fund's performance, rate of return or yield.  If distributions paid by the fund are greater than the performance of the fund, your original investment will shrink. Distributions paid as a result of capital gains realized by a fund, an income and dividends earned by a fund are taxable in your hands in the year they are paid. Your adjusted cost based will be reduced by the amount of any returns of capital. If your adjusted cost base falls below zero, you will have to pay capital gains tax on the amount below zero.
