Capital gain distribution

A capital gain distribution is a payout of realized profits from a mutual fund to its investors. A mutual fund earns capital gains in the same way that an individual investor would, by selling a security for more than the original cost. These realized profits are then paid out to the funds' investors through capital gains distributions.
