Under this plan, the fund has committed to a fixed monthly distribution amount of 8.5% of the closing market price per share. Conversely, in early January 2025, the Invesco Senior Income Trust implemented changes to their distribution plan, resulting in a reduced monthly dividend per share of $0.0380, down from $0.0430.

Fiscal Year-to-Date Performance

These distributions are calculated per share and show how the funds are managing income and returns in the current fiscal climate.

Factors Influencing Dividend Payments

Several factors impact the consistency and amount of dividends paid by these investment trusts, including market conditions and the effectiveness of their investment strategies. Consequently, it's critical for investors to recognize that past dividend payments do not guarantee future distributions. Invesco warns potential investors of these risks and emphasizes that assessing each fund's net asset value is vital in determining its financial trajectory.

Investors in the Invesco High Income Trust II and the Invesco Senior Income Trust can take both comfort and caution from the recent dividend announcements. While consistent dividends signify a dedication to shareholder returns, understanding the sources of these dividends and the broader implications for future payments is essential. Shareholders are encouraged to stay informed through periodic updates from the fund and by calling Invesco directly for any queries regarding their investments.
