Fund Update : August 12, 2021 Distribution Policy

On 8/12/2021, The Board of Trustees approved a new distribution schedule that distributions paid by the Fund are made quarterly instead of annually and at a constant and fixed rate that will reset annually to a rate equal to 5.0% of the Fund’s net asset value per share. The December distribution may exceed 1.25% as it may also include any outstanding capital gains and ordinary income above the 5.0% annual target distribution.

We anticipate the Fund’s distributions will be primarily comprised of short-term realized gains (which is taxed as ordinary income) and other ordinary income.
