Q: Could you please help me understand the Capital Gains process for VBAL and how it affects my holdings. Actual amount is 0.337068 /share or 1%
"These amounts are for the year-end capital gains distributions only, which will be re-invested and the resulting units immediately consolidated, so that the number of units held by each investor will not change."

Thank you,
Mike

5i Research Answer:

This is a phantom distribution, explained here. To adjust for taxes, the amount is to be added to an investors' average cost base.
