Management noted that these payouts may draw from net investment income, realized capital gains, or return of capital. Because some distributions may include a return of capital, the firm will provide shareholders with estimated component notices at the time of payment. These estimates are preliminary, and final tax characterization will be confirmed via Form 1099-DIV after the close of the calendar year. Investors are encouraged to monitor the company website for further updates regarding the distribution components.
