Insights

The $0.28 per share quarterly distribution by Royce Small-Cap Trust (RVT) is consistent with its policy of distributing 7% of the rolling average NAV. This demonstrates the fund's commitment to providing regular income to shareholders. However, investors should note that 87% of the distribution comes from realized long-term gains, not income. This suggests the fund's performance is driven more by capital appreciation than dividend-generating holdings.

The fund's 11.95% 5-year average annual total return is solid for a small-cap fund, indicating good stock selection. The 11.51% year-to-date return is also impressive, especially considering the challenging market conditions for small-caps in 2024. However, the high distribution rate of 6.36% may not be sustainable long-term if market conditions deteriorate, potentially leading to NAV erosion.

Investors should be aware of the tax implications of RVT's distribution. With 87% coming from long-term capital gains, most of the distribution will be taxed at the more favorable long-term capital gains rate for many investors. However, the 13% from short-term gains will be taxed as ordinary income.

The fund's disclosure that it may be distributing more than its income and realized gains, resulting in a return of capital, is crucial. While the current return of capital is minimal ($0.0006 per share), investors should monitor this. Persistent return of capital can erode the fund's asset base and may indicate unsustainable distribution levels. Remember, return of capital is generally not taxable but reduces your cost basis, potentially increasing future capital gains taxes.

NEW YORK, Sept. 3, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Royce Small-Cap Trust, Inc. (NYSE-RVT) has declared a quarterly distribution of $0.28 per share on its Common Stock. The distribution, optionally payable in additional shares of Common Stock, or in cash by specific stockholder election, is to be paid on September 23, 2024 to stockholders of record at the close of business on September 13, 2024 (ex-dividend on September 13, 2024). The price of shares issued for reinvestment will be determined on September 20, 2024.

The Fund has adopted a Distribution Policy of paying quarterly distributions on its Common Stock. Distributions are being made at the annual rate of 7% of the rolling average of the prior four calendar quarter-end net asset values (NAVs), with the fourth quarter distribution being the greater of 1.75% of the rolling average or the minimum distribution required by IRS regulations. The policy, including the annual rate, is subject to change at the discretion of the Fund's Board of Directors.

The Fund estimates that it has distributed more than its income and net realized 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's estimated sources of the distribution to be paid on September 23, 2024 and for 2024 year-to-date are as follows:
