The fund implemented its managed distribution policy in December 2021, following exemptive relief from the Securities and Exchange Commission. This policy aims to deliver the fund's long-term total return potential through regular monthly distributions declared at a fixed rate per common share.
Under the policy, the fund gains greater flexibility to realize long-term capital gains throughout the year and distribute them on a regular monthly basis to shareholders.
Retains the authority to amend, terminate, or suspend the managed distribution policy at any time. Monthly distributions from the fund may consist of long-term capital gains, short-term capital gains, net investment income, and/or return of capital for federal income tax purposes.
Return of capital encompasses distributions exceeding the fund's net investment income and net realized capital gains, drawn directly from the fund's assets. Such a return of capital is not taxable and instead reduces a shareholder's tax basis in their shares of the fund. The amount of these monthly distributions can fluctuate based on changes in portfolio and market conditions.
Com and mails notices to shareholders concurrently. However, the final tax characteristics of the fund's distributions remain uncertain until after the end of the calendar year. The fund will provide final tax characteristics for all distributions on Form 1099-DIV, mailed to shareholders after the calendar year closes.
This process ensures accurate reporting for tax purposes.
