Saket Kumar, the Fund's portfolio manager, in supporting the distribution increase said:
We believe that we are at a unique inflection point in global energy transition. Traditional energy infrastructure companies have pivoted to a sustained free cash flow generation that should help us generate growing stream of cash flows for the strategy. At the same time, we believe that favorable economics and global policy support in the clean energy infrastructure sector should drive adoption of renewable energy globally which should be a source of secular growth for the strategy. We believe that the Fund's balanced approach towards both secular growth and sustainable income should provide investors with an attractive total return potential.
The Fund's Board of Trustees considered various alternatives and believes that the Fund's increased distribution rate benefits shareholders by providing them with liquidity and flexibility in managing their investment in the Fund. Shareholders have the option of reinvesting distributions in additional shares of the Fund or receiving them in cash. Shareholders may consider reinvesting their distributions through the Fund's dividend reinvestment plan which may at times provide additional benefit to shareholders.
The Fund's net investment income can vary significantly over time; however, the Fund seeks to maintain a more stable monthly distribution per share. The distributions paid by the Fund for any particular month may be more or less than the amount of net investment income for that monthly period. The Fund may distribute more than the entire amount of the net investment income earned in a particular period, in which case all or a portion of a distribution may be a return of capital. Return of capital is the return of a portion of the shareholder's original investment. In any given year, there can be no guarantee the Fund's investment returns will exceed the amount of distributions. To the extent the amount of distributions paid to shareholders in cash exceeds the total net investment returns of the Fund, the assets of the Fund will decline, which may have the effect of increasing the Fund's expense ratio. In addition, in order to make such distributions, the Fund may have to sell a portion of its investment portfolio at a time when independent investment judgment might not dictate such action. Shareholders should not assume that the source of a distribution from the Fund is net income or profit. Alternatively, the Fund may also distribute less than its net investment income in a particular period. The undistributed net investment income may be available to supplement future common share distributions. Undistributed net investment income is included in the Common Shares' net asset value, and, correspondingly, distributions from net investment income will reduce the Common Shares' net asset value.
With each distribution that does not consist solely of net investment income, the Fund will issue a notice to shareholders that will provide estimated information regarding the amount and composition of the distribution. The final determination of such amounts will be made and reported to shareholders in early 2024, after the end of the calendar year when the Fund determines its earnings and profits for the year. It is currently anticipated, but not certain, that approximately
The distribution shall be paid on the payment date unless the payment of such distribution is deferred by the Fund's Board of Trustees upon a determination that such deferral is required in order to comply with applicable law or to ensure that the Fund remains solvent and able to pay its debts as they become due and continue as a going concern.
