The net asset value (NAV) of a closed-end fund is the market
value of the underlying investments (i.e., stocks and bonds)
in the Fund's portfolio, minus liabilities, divided by the total
number of Fund shares outstanding. However, the Fund also has a
market price; the value at which it trades on an exchange. If the
market price is above the NAV the Fund is trading at a premium. If
the market price is below the NAV the Fund is trading at a
discount.
Performance returns for the Fund are total returns, which
includes dividends, and are net of management fees and other Fund
expenses. Returns are calculated assuming that a shareholder
reinvested all distributions. Past performance cannot predict
future investment results.
Performance will fluctuate with changes in market conditions.
Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance
data shown. Performance information shown does not reflect the
deduction of taxes that shareholders would pay on Fund
distributions or the sale of Fund shares. Shareholders must be
willing to tolerate significant fluctuations in the value of their
investment. An investment in the Fund involves risk, including loss
of principal.
Sources of distributions to shareholders may include ordinary
dividends, long-term capital gains and return of capital. The final
determination of the source of all distributions in 2023 for tax
reporting purposes will be made after year end. The actual amounts
and sources of the amounts for tax reporting purposes will depend
upon the Fund's investment experience during its fiscal year and
may be subject to changes based on tax regulations. Based on
current estimates a portion of the distributions consist of a
return of capital. These estimates may not match the final tax
characterization (for the full year's distributions) contained in
shareholder 1099-DIV forms after the end of the year.
All data is as of June 30, 2023
unless otherwise noted.
