Here's a statement of the obvious: The opinions expressed here are those of the participants, not those of the Mutual Fund Observer. We cannot vouch for the accuracy or appropriateness of any of it, though we do encourage civility and good humor.
'Tis the season, Thanksgiving, Christmas or Hanukkah or other holiday, and capital gains/dividend distribution day for mutual funds has come around again this year. If anyone sees any mutual fund families' distributions not posted, please post them.
Reply to @Ted: The linked page shows only past distributions, not estimates for this year. I haven't seen a headline yet on the V. home page for distribution estimates for this year ... if anyone has, that'd be of interest here, for sure.
Reply to @MaxBialystock: While it is only an estimate so far, maybe the fund you are looking for is not paying any CGs for 2012 or possibly the list will be updated as we approach 12/31.
Read the second paragraph on the second page of the PDF. It reaffirms my initial suspicion.
Reply to @TheShadow: Looks like ARIVX will be seeing a large short-term capital gain distribution, around 5.69% of its current NAV. Something to note for tax planning.

Reply to @BenWP: Ben, you may know this, but to be clear, those are past distributions, up to September, listed in the tables; as the text at the top says, eoy estimates will be out the week of 19 November, so in about two weeks.

Just reviewed Wasatch - looks like WAEMX is not scheduled for any distribution; last distribution was in 2010, and that was a paltry $0.0002.
This may be part of year-end re-balancing
