Insights

The fund's distribution structure reveals important insights for investors. The $0.18 monthly distribution is currently being funded entirely through return of capital, not from investment income or capital gains. This is significant as it indicates the fund is effectively returning investors' principal rather than generating sufficient income or gains to cover distributions.

The fund's 12.57% 5-year average annual return and 13.78% fiscal YTD return show solid performance, while maintaining a high 9.73% annualized distribution rate. However, investors should note that the 100% return of capital in distributions could impact the fund's long-term sustainability if investment performance doesn't improve to cover payouts naturally.

Under the terms of its Managed Distribution Plan, the Fund will seek to maintain a consistent distribution level that may be paid in part or in full, from net investment income and realized capital gains, or a combination thereof. Shareholders should note, however, that if the 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. You should not draw any conclusions about the Fund’s investment performance from the amount of this distribution or from the terms of the Fund’s Managed Distribution Plan.

The Fund estimates that it has distributed more than its income and 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 provides this estimate of the sources of its distributions:
