Valet
in The Bullpen
This year looks like it will be a record year for capital gains distributions. If you haven’t seen it, TheShadow started a discussion thread "2014 estimated (preliminary) year end distributions” that provides links to tons of fund firms’ distribution estimates including some for some very small firms.

I've found capital gains estimates from over 140 firms and have made these links available (for free) on www.CapGainsValet.com. Be careful when buying a mutual fund in your taxable account through year-end. I've already counted over 450 funds that have estimated distributions over 10% of NAV. Of those, 55 have estimated distributions over 20%! (Check out the list of these at www.capgainsvalet.com/in-the-doghouse/).

I hope you find the information helpful.
