- Please see table below for each Fund’s estimated source of
distributions.
Under the terms of each Fund’s managed distribution policy, each
Fund seeks to maintain a consistent distribution level derived from
the income and capital gains generated from the Fund’s investment
portfolio. To the extent that sufficient distributable income is
not available on a monthly basis, each Fund will distribute
long-term capital gains and/or return of capital in order to
maintain its managed distribution rate. A return of capital may
occur, for example, when some or all of the money that was invested
in the Fund is paid back to shareholders. A return of capital
distribution does not necessarily reflect the Fund’s investment
performance and should not be confused with “yield” or “income”.
Even though the Fund may realize current year capital gains, such
gains may be offset, in whole or in part, by the Fund’s capital
loss carryovers from prior years. The Board of Trustees may modify,
terminate or suspend the managed distribution policy at any time.
Any such modification, termination or suspension could have an
adverse effect on the market price of the Fund’s shares.
Based on the Funds’ tax accounting records, which also factor in
currency fluctuations, each Fund’s estimated source of cumulative
fiscal year-to-date distributions is presented in the table
below:

- Sources of cumulative fiscal year-to-date distributions are
estimated through August 31, 2024.
The updated estimated components of the distributions announced
today will be provided to shareholders of record in a separate
notice when the distributions are paid.
Shareholders should not draw any conclusions about each Fund’s
investment performance from the amount of these distributions or
from the terms of each Fund’s managed distribution policy. The
amounts and sources of each Fund’s distributions to be reported
will be estimates and will not be provided for tax reporting
purposes. The actual amounts and sources of the amounts for tax
reporting purposes will depend upon each Fund’s investment
experience during the remainder of its fiscal year and may be
subject to changes based on tax regulations. Each Fund will send a
Form 1099-DIV to shareholders for the calendar year that will
describe how to report the Fund’s distributions for federal income
tax purposes.
