Invesco Closed-End Funds Declare Dividends for February 2025

Invesco closed-end funds have declared dividends for the following funds: VKI, VBF, VCV, OIA, VMO, VKQ, VPV, IQI, VGM, VTN, and IIM. The dividends range from $0.05591 to $0.07711 per share and are payable on February 28, 2025. A portion of the distribution is estimated to be from a return of principal rather than net income.

Invesco, a leading investment management firm, recently announced dividend declarations for twelve of its closed-end funds (CEFs) [1]. The dividend payable dates range from February 28, 2025, to the end of the year, with the ex-date and record date varying for each fund.

One of the standout funds is Invesco Advantage Municipal Income Trust (II VKI), which declared a monthly dividend of $0.05591 per share. This represents a slight decrease compared to its previous distribution but a 15% increase from the same period last year [1].

Invesco Bond Fund (VBF) saw a more substantial increase in its monthly dividend, jumping from $0.0741 to $0.08501 per share, marking a 14.5% increase from the prior distribution [1]. This uptick in dividends can be attributed to the fund's investment strategy, which focuses on high-quality bonds.

While the majority of the funds declared monthly dividends, Invesco Municipal Income Opportunities Trust (OIA) and Invesco Municipal Opportunity Trust (VMO) both announced quarterly dividends of $0.0291 and $0.06251 per share, respectively [1].

It is essential to note that a portion of these distributions is estimated to be from a return of principal rather than net income. This means that shareholders may be receiving capital gains or returned capital instead of solely income generated from the fund's investments [1].

Investors interested in learning more about the tax implications of these distributions can refer to the Section 19 Notice provided by each fund on their respective websites [1]. It is essential to understand the tax characteristics of these distributions to make informed investment decisions.

As always, investing in closed-end funds involves risks, and it is possible to lose money on any investment in these funds. Shareholders are encouraged to consult with their financial advisors for personalized investment advice.
