Insights

Financial Analyst

The monthly distribution announcement from ARDC maintains its consistent $0.1175 per share payout, translating to an attractive 9.34% annualized distribution rate at current share prices. While this high distribution rate appears compelling in the current market environment, investors should note several key considerations:

The fund's ability to sustain this distribution level depends on its underlying portfolio performance and market conditions. The notice about potential sources of distribution beyond net investment income suggests flexibility in maintaining the payout, but also signals that returns might come from capital gains or return of capital. This complex structure requires careful tax planning, as different distribution sources have varying tax implications.

The steady distribution policy provides income visibility for investors, though the fund's discretionary power to adjust future distributions introduces some uncertainty. The December adjustment mechanism helps ensure regulatory compliance while potentially offering additional returns.

NEW YORK CITY, NY / ACCESSWIRE / November 11, 2024 / Ares Dynamic Credit Allocation Fund, Inc. (the "Fund") (NYSE:ARDC) announced today the declaration of its distribution for the month of November 2024 of $0.1175 per common share, payable as noted below.

Ex-Date: November 21, 2024

Based on the Fund's current share price of $15.10 (as of its close on November 8, 2024), the distribution represents an annualized distribution rate of approximately 9.34% (calculated by annualizing the distribution amount and dividing it by the current price). Information regarding the distribution rate is included for informational purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of future results, the achievement of which cannot be assured. The distribution rate should not be considered the yield or total return on an investment in the Fund.

The timing and amount of future distributions, if any, are at the discretion of the Fund. As required by Section 19(a) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, a notice will be distributed to the Fund's stockholders in the event that a portion of a monthly distribution is derived from sources other than undistributed net investment income, such as from short-term capital gain, long-term capital gain, or return of capital. Such notices will also be posted on the Fund's website at www.arespublicfunds.com.

The amounts and sources of distributions reported are only estimates and are not provided for tax reporting purposes. The actual amounts and sources of the amounts for tax reporting purposes will depend upon the Fund's investment performance during the remainder of its fiscal year and may be subject to change based on tax regulations. The final determination of the source of these distributions will be made after the Fund's fiscal year end. If necessary, the Fund may elect to pay an adjusting distribution in December that includes any additional income and net realized capital gains in excess of the monthly distributions for that year to satisfy the minimum distribution requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. In January or February of each year, investors will be sent a Form 1099‑DIV for the previous calendar year that will define how to report these distributions for federal income tax purposes.
