The Clough Global Opportunities Fund paid a monthly distribution of $0.0501 per share on July 31, 2025. The distribution is comprised entirely of return of capital, with no net investment income, net realized short-term capital gain, or net realized long-term capital gain.

The Clough Global Opportunities Fund (NYSE American: GLO) has announced a monthly distribution of $0.0501 per share, paid on July 31, 2025, to shareholders of record as of July 18, 2025 [2]. This distribution, which constitutes 100% return of capital, means that none of the funds were generated from net investment income or capital gains. The fund's fiscal year-to-date performance shows an annualized distribution rate of 9.78% based on NAV, with a cumulative total return of 9.31% for the period from November 2024 through June 2025 [2]. The fund's 5-year average annual total return stands at 2.57% as of June 30, 2025 [2].

The Clough Global Opportunities Fund's latest distribution is significant for investors as it indicates the fund is not generating sufficient income or capital gains to cover its distributions. The fund's NAV performance, while showing a cumulative total return of 9.31% year-to-date, does not reflect the value of a shareholder's investment in the fund. The value of a shareholder's investment is determined by the fund's market price, which is based on the supply and demand for the fund's shares in the open market [2].

Investors should understand that while high distribution rates may seem attractive, distributions comprised entirely of return of capital may not be sustainable long-term and effectively represent a return of their own investment rather than investment gains. The fund's distribution policy is subject to modification by the Board of Trustees at any time, and the distribution rate should not be considered the dividend yield or total return on an investment in the fund [2].
