Insights

The 20% increase in quarterly distribution to $0.165 per share represents significant value for shareholders, marking the fourth consecutive annual increase with a compound growth rate of 12.8% over this period. The new annualized yield of 4.07% based on market price is attractive in the current market environment.

The fund's substantial 23.06% discount to NAV ($16.22 market price vs $21.08 NAV) presents an interesting opportunity. Since distributions are paid at NAV, shareholders effectively receive more value than the market price suggests. This structure, combined with the increased distribution, could help narrow the discount gap over time.

DENVER, CO / ACCESSWIRE / November 13, 2024 / SRH Total Return Fund, Inc. (NYSE:STEW) (the "Fund") is pleased to announce a 20% increase in the Fund's quarterly distribution to $0.165 per share beginning in January 2025, payable on the date noted below.

As of market close on November 8, 2024, the distribution (on an annualized basis) amounts to approximately 4.07% of the Fund's market price and 3.13% of its net asset value ("NAV").

Due to the current discount of the Fund's market price to its per share NAV and the fact that distributions are made in cash (i.e., at NAV), if Fund shares continue to trade at a discount at the time of this distribution, then it will be accretive to the Fund's market-price-based return.
