The Templeton Emerging Markets Income Fund (TEI) has released its estimated sources of distribution for August 2025 and the fiscal year 2025 year-to-date. The distribution per share for August is estimated to be $0.0475, entirely from net investment income. For the fiscal year, the cumulative estimated allocations are $0.3325 per share, with 94% coming from net investment income and 6% from a return of capital [1].

TEI's managed distribution plan, which provides shareholders with consistent monthly distributions, is designed to narrow the discount between the market price and the net asset value (NAV) of the Fund's common shares. The Fund aims to generate as much of the distribution as possible from net ordinary income and short-term capital gains, aligning with its investment strategy and risk profile. If distributable income is insufficient on a monthly basis, the Fund may distribute long-term capital gains or return of capital to maintain the managed distribution rate [1].

The Fund's average annual total return in relation to NAV for the five-year period ended on July 31, 2025, is 2.33%, with an annualized distribution rate of 9.02% for the current fiscal period through July 31, 2025. The cumulative total return for the fiscal period through July 31, 2025, is 18.22%, and the cumulative fiscal year-to-date distribution rate is 5.26% [1].

Shareholders should not draw conclusions about the Fund's investment performance from the amount of the distribution or the terms of the Plan. The estimated amounts and sources of distributions are subject to change based on the Fund's investment experience and tax regulations. TEI will provide a Form 1099-DIV to shareholders for the calendar year to describe how to report the Fund's distributions for federal income tax purposes [1].
