Insights

The fund's distribution announcement reveals significant insights into its capital management strategy. The $0.18 monthly distribution rate maintained through March 2025 translates to an impressive 9.85% annualized distribution rate. However, a important detail emerges - 90% of the fiscal year-to-date distributions represent return of capital, with only 10% coming from realized short-term gains.

The fund's 11.95% 5-year average annual return on NAV and 13.36% fiscal YTD return demonstrate solid performance. Yet, the high proportion of return of capital in distributions suggests the fund is struggling to generate sufficient income and gains to cover its distributions naturally. While this maintains the distribution level shareholders expect, it effectively returns investors' principal, which could impact the fund's long-term sustainability.

Under the terms of its Managed Distribution Plan, the Fund will seek to maintain a consistent distribution level that may be paid in part or in full, from net investment income and realized capital gains, or a combination thereof. Shareholders should note, however, that if the Fund's aggregate net investment income and net realized capital gains are less than the amount of the distribution level, the difference will be distributed from the Fund's assets and will constitute a return of the shareholder's capital. You should not draw any conclusions about the Fund’s investment performance from the amount of this distribution or from the terms of the Fund’s Managed Distribution Plan.

The Fund estimates that it has distributed more than its income and capital gains; therefore, a portion of your distribution may be a return of capital. A return of capital may occur, for example, when some or all of the money that you invested in the Fund is paid back to you. A return of capital distribution does not necessarily reflect the Fund’s investment performance and should not be confused with ‘yield’ or ‘income’.

The Fund provides this estimate of the sources of the distributions:
