You should not draw any conclusions about the performance of the Fund’s investments from the amount of this distribution or the terms of the Fund plan.
If the Fund (s) believes that it has distributed more than its income and capital gains, part of your distribution may be a return of capital. A return of capital may occur, for example, when some or all of the money you have invested in the Fund is returned to you. A return of capital distribution does not necessarily reflect the investment performance of the Fund and should not be confused with âreturnâ or âincomeâ.
The amounts and sources of distributions shown in this 19 (a) notice are estimates only and are not provided for tax reporting purposes. The actual amounts and the sources of the amounts for accounting and tax purposes will depend on the Fund’s investment experience during the remainder of its fiscal year and may be subject to change depending on tax regulations. The Fund will send you a Form 1099 DIV for the calendar year which will tell you how to report these distributions for federal income tax purposes.
The performance figures provided below are based on the change in the net asset value per share (âNAVâ) of the Fund, compared to the annualized distribution rate for this current distribution as a percentage of the NAV on the last day of the month preceding the return. ‘registration of the distribution. Dated.

Although the performance of the NAV may be indicative of the performance of the Fund’s investments, it does not measure the value of a shareholder‘s investment in the Fund. The value of a shareholder’s investment in the Fund is determined by the market price of the Fund, which is based on the supply and demand for shares of the Fund in the open market. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.
Monthly distributions give shareholders the opportunity to accumulate more shares in a fund through the automatic dividend reinvestment plan. For example, if a fund’s shares trade at a premium, distributions will automatically be reinvested into the plan at net asset value or 95% of market price, whichever is greater; if the shares are trading at a discount, distributions will be reinvested at market price as part of an open market purchase program. Thus, the plan offers current shareholders an efficient method to accumulate additional shares with the potential for savings. Please see the dividend reinvestment plan for more information.
Important Notes on Performance and Risks
Past performance is no guarantee of future results. As with other investments, the market price will fluctuate with the market and when sold, your shares may be priced above or below the NAV and worth more or less than your original investment. Returns at net asset value reflect the deduction of Fund management fees, costs of debt and other expenses. You can buy or sell common stocks on a daily basis. Like any other stock, the market price will fluctuate with the market. When sold, your shares may have a market price higher or lower than the NAV and be worth more or less than your initial investment. Closed-end fund stocks frequently trade for less than their net asset value.
