The remaining 47.2% of the distribution, or $0.032 per share, is a result of net realized short-term capital gains and net realized long-term capital gains. Short-term capital gains arise from the sale of securities held for less than a year, while long-term capital gains stem from the sale of securities held for more than a year.

The Fund adopted a Managed Distribution Plan (MDP) in 2015, which enables it to distribute all available investment income to its shareholders consistently with its investment objective [2]. If insufficient investment income is available, the Fund distributes realized capital gains and/or returns of capital to maintain the monthly distribution level of $0.07 per share.
