See the Fund’s Section 19a-1 letters, if any, located on the Fund's website under the News & Literature Tab for estimates of distribution sources other than income. See the "Tax Information" on the Fund’s website under the Distributions Tab for final characterization of the Fund's distributions for federal income tax purposes.

The distribution history represents distributions that were paid by the Fund and is not a guarantee of the Fund's future distribution-paying ability. If you participate in the "DRIP" (the Dividend Reinvestment Plan) your distributions are reinvested in additional common shares.

For listed closed-end funds, the reinvestment price is determined by one of two scenarios. One, if the common shares are trading at a discount, the DRIP price is the weighted average cost to purchase the common shares from the NYSE or elsewhere. Lastly, if the common shares are trading at a premium, the DRIP price is the determined by the higher of the NAV per common share or approximately 95% of the common share price.
