Understanding the Managed Distribution Plan

• - Net investment income
• - Realized short-term and long-term capital gains
• - Return of capital

As part of transparency efforts, whenever the distribution does not consist solely of net investment income, the Fund will notify shareholders, providing detailed estimates of what comprises the distribution. Such disclosures help investors gain a clearer understanding of their returns and the fund’s performance.

After the calendar year, each shareholder will receive an official Form 1099-DIV outlining the actual composition of the distributions for tax reporting purposes. This information will help in accurate financial planning and tax filing efforts.
