It is important to note that these distribution sources are estimates and may change based on the fund's investment experience during the remainder of the fiscal year. Shareholders should not draw conclusions about the fund's investment performance from the distribution amount or the terms of the distribution plan.
A return of capital, if any, is a return of the money originally invested in the fund and does not necessarily reflect the fund's investment performance. Shareholders should also be aware that the actual amounts and sources of distributions for accounting and tax purposes may differ and will be reported on Form 1099-DIV.
For more detailed information, shareholders should review the distribution plan and the fund's annual report. Monthly distributions offer an opportunity for shareholders to reinvest their dividends automatically, potentially increasing their holdings and achieving cost savings.
