    Distributions Footnote: Effective January 31, 2025, the distribution frequency was changed from Quarterly to Monthly with targeted distributions monthly.  Target Annual Distribution Rate is 5%.  The Fund will also distribute, in respect of each taxation year, any net income and any net realized capital gain in excess of the monthly distributions by December 31 of each to reduce the Funds income tax liability. Any distribution made in excess of the Fund’s cumulative income and capital gains generated represents a return of capital. The monthly distribution rate may change at any time if market conditions change. The monthly distribution amounts are determined by looking at the NAV or the unit price, as applicable, on December 31 of the previous year.
