Top 50 Mutual Funds With the Largest Capital Gains Distribution Estimates
But it's good to remind posters of these huge OEF CG distribution. Barron's also has has a couple of pieces on this (one citing M*). Some funds may have provided distribution dates since Morningstar's article.
Of course, ETFs have no/low distributions. Many mistakenly think that ETFs never distribute CGs, but they do when there are huge outflows, natural or accidental (just ask Vanguard).
A general observation: Please refer to M* as Morningstar in the subject line. I have started doing that too even though M* is short and convenient. Reason is that several Morningstar staff people are MFO members and they usually just lurk but not actively post. So, something with Morningstar in the subject line may attract the attention of M* staffers (logically, it should work within the text too).
