Western Asset Inflation-Linked Opportunities & Income Fund (WIW or “the Fund”; CUSIP: 95766R104) Announces Notification of Sources of Distributions
Western Asset Inflation-Linked Opportunities & Income Fund (WIW) has announced its distribution details for March 31, 2025, and fiscal year 2025. The Fund operates under a managed distribution policy that aims to deliver long-term total return potential through fixed monthly distributions per common share.
The Fund has indicated that it has distributed more than its income and net realized capital gains, suggesting that a portion of the distribution may represent a return of capital to shareholders. While a return of capital reduces a shareholder's tax basis in their Fund shares, it is not taxable.
The Fund's distribution rates and performance metrics are calculated through February 28, 2025, with distributions potentially sourced from net investment income, realized capital gains, and return of capital. The Board of Directors maintains the authority to terminate or suspend the managed distribution policy, which could impact the Fund's market price.
Il Fondo Opportunità e Reddito Legato all'Inflazione di Western Asset (WIW) ha annunciato i dettagli della sua distribuzione per il 31 marzo 2025 e per l'anno fiscale 2025. Il Fondo opera secondo una politica di distribuzione gestita che mira a fornire un potenziale di rendimento totale a lungo termine attraverso distribuzioni mensili fisse per azione comune.
Il Fondo ha indicato di aver distribuito più del suo reddito e dei guadagni in conto capitale netti realizzati, suggerendo che una parte della distribuzione potrebbe rappresentare un ritorno di capitale per gli azionisti. Sebbene un ritorno di capitale riduca la base imponibile di un azionista nelle sue azioni del Fondo, non è tassabile.
Le tariffe di distribuzione del Fondo e le metriche di performance sono calcolate fino al 28 febbraio 2025, con distribuzioni potenzialmente provenienti da reddito da investimenti netti, guadagni in conto capitale realizzati e ritorno di capitale. Il Consiglio di Amministrazione mantiene l'autorità di terminare o sospendere la politica di distribuzione gestita, il che potrebbe influenzare il prezzo di mercato del Fondo.
El Fondo de Oportunidades e Ingresos Vinculados a la Inflación de Western Asset (WIW) ha anunciado los detalles de su distribución para el 31 de marzo de 2025 y el año fiscal 2025. El Fondo opera bajo una política de distribución gestionada que tiene como objetivo ofrecer un potencial de rendimiento total a largo plazo a través de distribuciones mensuales fijas por acción común.
El Fondo ha indicado que ha distribuido más de sus ingresos y ganancias de capital netas realizadas, lo que sugiere que una parte de la distribución puede representar un retorno de capital para los accionistas. Si bien un retorno de capital reduce la base imponible de un accionista en sus acciones del Fondo, no es imponible.
Las tasas de distribución del Fondo y las métricas de rendimiento se calculan hasta el 28 de febrero de 2025, con distribuciones que pueden provenir de ingresos netos de inversión, ganancias de capital realizadas y retorno de capital. La Junta Directiva mantiene la autoridad para terminar o suspender la política de distribución gestionada, lo que podría afectar el precio de mercado del Fondo.
웨스턴 자산 인플레이션 연동 기회 및 수익 기금 (WIW)이 2025년 3월 31일 및 2025 회계 연도의 배당 세부 사항을 발표했습니다. 이 기금은 고정 월 배당금을 통해 장기적인 총 수익 잠재력을 제공하는 것을 목표로 하는 관리 배당 정책에 따라 운영됩니다.
기금은 수익 및 실현된 순 자본 이익보다 더 많은 배당금을 지급했다고 밝혔으며, 이는 배당금의 일부가 주주에게 자본 반환을 나타낼 수 있음을 시사합니다. 자본 반환은 주주의 기금 주식에 대한 세금 기준을 줄이지만, 세금이 부과되지 않습니다.
기금의 배당률 및 성과 지표는 2025년 2월 28일까지 계산되며, 배당금은 순 투자 수익, 실현된 자본 이익 및 자본 반환에서 나올 수 있습니다. 이사회는 관리 배당 정책을 종료하거나 중단할 수 있는 권한을 유지하며, 이는 기금의 시장 가격에 영향을 미칠 수 있습니다.
Le Fonds d'Opportunités et de Revenus Liés à l'Inflation de Western Asset (WIW) a annoncé les détails de sa distribution pour le 31 mars 2025 et pour l'exercice 2025. Le Fonds fonctionne selon une politique de distribution gérée qui vise à offrir un potentiel de rendement total à long terme par le biais de distributions mensuelles fixes par action ordinaire.
Le Fonds a indiqué qu'il avait distribué plus que ses revenus et ses gains en capital nets réalisés, ce qui suggère qu'une partie de la distribution pourrait représenter un retour de capital pour les actionnaires. Bien qu'un retour de capital réduise la base imposable d'un actionnaire dans ses actions du Fonds, il n'est pas imposable.
Les taux de distribution et les indicateurs de performance du Fonds sont calculés jusqu'au 28 février 2025, les distributions pouvant provenir de revenus d'investissement nets, de gains en capital réalisés et de retours de capital. Le Conseil d'Administration conserve le pouvoir de mettre fin ou de suspendre la politique de distribution gérée, ce qui pourrait avoir un impact sur le prix du marché du Fonds.
Der Western Asset Inflation-Linked Opportunities & Income Fund (WIW) hat die Einzelheiten seiner Ausschüttung für den 31. März 2025 und das Geschäftsjahr 2025 bekannt gegeben. Der Fonds operiert unter einer verwalteten Ausschüttungspolitik, die darauf abzielt, das Potenzial für langfristige Gesamtrendite durch feste monatliche Ausschüttungen pro Stammaktie zu liefern.
Der Fonds hat angedeutet, dass er mehr ausgeschüttet hat als sein Einkommen und die realisierten Netto-Kapitalgewinne, was darauf hindeutet, dass ein Teil der Ausschüttung einen Kapitalrückfluss an die Aktionäre darstellen könnte. Während ein Kapitalrückfluss die Steuerbasis eines Aktionärs in seinen Fondsanteilen verringert, ist er nicht steuerpflichtig.
Die Ausschüttungsraten und Leistungskennzahlen des Fonds werden bis zum 28. Februar 2025 berechnet, wobei die Ausschüttungen möglicherweise aus Nettoinvestitionseinkommen, realisierten Kapitalgewinnen und Kapitalrückflüssen stammen. Der Vorstand behält sich das Recht vor, die verwaltete Ausschüttungspolitik zu beenden oder auszusetzen, was den Marktpreis des Fonds beeinflussen könnte.

Shareholders should not draw any conclusions about the Fund’s investment performance from the amount of the current distribution or from the terms of the Plan. WIW estimates that it has distributed more than its income and net realized capital gains; therefore, a portion of the WIW distribution to shareholders may be a return of capital. A return of capital may occur, for example, when some or all of the money that a shareholder invested in a Fund is paid back to them. A return of capital distribution does not necessarily reflect WIW’s investment performance and should not be confused with ‘yield’ or ‘income’. The amounts and sources of distributions reported herein are only estimates and are not being provided for tax reporting purposes. The actual amounts and sources of the amounts for tax reporting purposes will depend upon the Fund’s investment experience during the remainder of its fiscal year and may be subject to changes based on tax regulations. The Fund will send a Form 1099-DIV to shareholders for the calendar year that will describe how to report the Fund’s distributions for federal income tax purposes.

Fund Performance and Distribution Rate Information:
- Average Annual Total Return in relation to NAV represents the compound average of the Annual NAV Total Returns of the Fund for the five-year period ended through February 28, 2025. Annual NAV Total Return is the percentage change in the Fund’s NAV over a year, assuming reinvestment of distributions paid.
- The Annualized Distribution Rate is the current fiscal period’s distribution rate annualized as a percentage of the Fund’s NAV as of February 28, 2025.
- Cumulative Total Return is the percentage change in the Fund’s NAV from November 30, 2024 through February 28, 2025, assuming reinvestment of distributions paid.
- The Cumulative Fiscal Year-To-Date Distribution Rate is the dollar value of distributions for the fiscal period November 30, 2024 through February 28, 2025, as a percentage of the Fund’s NAV as of February 28, 2025.
This Fund has a managed distribution policy that seeks to deliver the Fund’s long-term total return potential through regular monthly distributions declared at a fixed rate per common share. Distributions may be paid in part or in full from net investment income, realized capital gains and by returning capital, or a combination thereof. Shareholders should note, however, that if a 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. A return of capital is not taxable; rather it reduces a shareholder’s tax basis in his or her shares of the Fund. The Board of Directors of the Fund may terminate or suspend the managed distribution policy at any time, which could have an adverse effect on the market price of the Fund’s shares.
