프랭클린 듀레이션 인컴 트러스트 (FTF)는 2025년 2월에 대한 월간 배당 세부정보를 발표했습니다. 이 펀드는 이사회에 의해 승인된 주당 $0.0615의 고정 월 지급금을 포함하는 관리 배당 계획을 유지하고 있습니다. 이 계획은 일관된 월 배당금을 제공하고 시장 가격과 NAV 간의 할인폭을 줄이는 것을 목표로 합니다.

FTF는 수익과 실현된 순 자본 이익보다 더 많은 배당금을 지급했다고 언급하며, 이는 배당금의 일부가 자본 환급을 나타낼 수 있음을 시사합니다. 펀드의 관리 전략은 주로 순 일반 수익 및 단기 자본 이익으로부터 배당금을 생성하는 데 중점을 두고 있으며, 투자 전략 및 위험 프로필과의 일치를 유지합니다.

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 Fund’s Plan. FTF estimates that it has distributed more than its income and net realized capital gains; therefore, a portion of the FTF 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 FTF’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:

  1. 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 January 31, 2025. Annual NAV Total Return is the percentage change in the Fund’s NAV over a year, assuming reinvestment of distributions paid.
  2. The Annualized Distribution Rate is the current fiscal period’s distribution rate annualized as a percentage of the Fund’s NAV through January 31, 2025.
  3. Cumulative Total Return is the percentage change in the Fund’s NAV from December 31, 2024 through January 31, 2025, assuming reinvestment of distributions paid.
  4. The Cumulative Fiscal Year-To-Date Distribution Rate is the dollar value of distributions for the fiscal period (December 31, 2024 through January 31, 2025), as a percentage of the Fund’s NAV as of January 31, 2025.

The Fund’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”) has authorized a managed distribution plan (the “Plan”) pursuant to which the Fund makes monthly distributions to shareholders at the fixed rate of $0.0615 per share. The Plan is intended to provide shareholders with consistent distributions each month and is intended to narrow the discount between the market price and the net asset value (“NAV”) of the Fund’s common shares, but there can be no assurance that the Plan will be successful in doing so. The Fund is managed with a goal of generating as much of the distribution as possible from net ordinary income and short-term capital gains, that is consistent with the Fund’s investment strategy and risk profile. To the extent that sufficient distributable income is not available on a monthly basis, the Fund will distribute long-term capital gains and/or return of capital in order to maintain its managed distribution rate. A return of capital may occur, for example, when some or all of the money that was invested in the Fund is paid back to shareholders. A return of capital distribution does not necessarily reflect the Fund’s investment performance and should not be confused with “yield” or “income”. Even though the Fund may realize current year capital gains, such gains may be offset, in whole or in part, by the Fund’s capital loss carryovers from prior years.

The Board may amend the terms of the Plan or terminate the Plan at any time without prior notice to the Fund’s shareholders. The amendment or termination of the Plan could have an adverse effect on the market price of the Fund’s common shares. The Plan will be subject to the periodic review by the Board, including a yearly review of the fixed rate to determine if an adjustment should be made.
