Performance Insights


Currently, shares of FCO are trading at a premium to their net asset value (NAV). The Board of Directors has expressed concerns regarding the sustainability of this premium over time. Those participating in the Fund's dividend reinvestment plan should take into account that reinvestment will occur at this premium NAV rather than unadjusted market value.

Tax Reporting and Distribution Policy


At the end of each fiscal year, shareholders will receive Form 1099-DIV, providing a breakdown of the amounts and nature of their fund distributions, alongside information relevant to their tax treatment. Each fund’s distribution strategy is subject to changes made by its respective Board of Directors/Trustees.

The distribution amounts are informed by net investment income, realized capital gains, and if necessary, paid-in capital. According to U.S. tax laws, definitive calculations for each fund's distributable income can only be verified at the culmination of the fiscal year, implicating potential variances in future income or expenses affecting those final state distributions.

Composition of Current Distributions


In adherence to Section 19 of the Investment Company Act of 1940, the funds will provide transparency in estimating the sources of their distributions. For ASGI, the current distribution of $0.2100 is sourced as follows:
  • - Net Investment Income: $0.0315 (15%)
  • - Net Realized Short-Term Gains: $0.0063 (3%)
  • - Net Realized Long-Term Gains: $0.0756 (36%)
  • - Return of Capital: $0.0966 (46%)

For THQ, distribution of $0.1800 is broken down into:
  • - Net Investment Income: -
  • - Net Realized Short-Term Gains: -
  • - Net Realized Long-Term Gains: $0.0180 (10%)
  • - Return of Capital: $0.1620 (90%)

Where applicable, any returns classified as capital returns signify distributions made to shareholders that exceed both income and realized capital gains. This indicates that a portion of the investment they had in the Fund is being returned.

Final Remarks


The ongoing ability to maintain consistent distributions is paramount. However, the Board retains the authority to amend, pause, or entirely discontinuate distribution policies at their discretion, based on market conditions and investment performance. Investors are encouraged to consult their tax advisors for tailored advice regarding federal, state, and local tax implications in light of their investments in these funds.

As this schedule progresses, shareholders should remain attentive to both market conditions and updates from Aberdeen Investments.
