Under the terms of its Managed Distribution Plan, the Fund will
seek to maintain a consistent distribution level that may be paid
in part or in full, from net investment income and realized capital
gains, or a combination thereof. Shareholders should note, however,
that if the Fund's aggregate net investment income and net realized
capital gains are less than the amount of the distribution level,
the difference will be distributed from the Fund's assets and will
constitute a return of the shareholder's capital. You should not
draw any conclusions about the Fund’s investment performance from
the amount of this distribution or from the terms of the Fund’s
Managed Distribution Plan.
The Fund estimates that it has distributed more than its income
and capital gains; therefore, a portion of your distribution may be
a return of capital. A return of capital may occur, for example,
when some or all of the money that you invested in the Fund is paid
back to you. A return of capital distribution does not necessarily
reflect the Fund’s investment performance and should not be
confused with ‘yield’ or ‘income’.
The Fund previously provided this estimate of the sources of the
distributions:
