The Board of Trustees of The Gabelli Utility Trust (NYSE: GUT) has approved the continuation of its policy of paying fixed monthly cash distributions. The Fund has declared distributions of $0.05 per share for October, November, and December 2025 [1].
The monthly distributions are part of the Fund's long-standing policy, which has been in effect since October 1999. The Board of Trustees reviews the distribution level quarterly, taking into account the Fund's net asset value and the financial market environment. If necessary, an adjusting distribution may be paid in December to include any additional income and net realized capital gains that exceed the monthly distributions for the year, to satisfy the minimum distribution requirements of the Internal Revenue Code for regulated investment companies [2].
The distributions for 2025 are estimated to be approximately 9% from net investment income, 3% from net capital gains, and 88% from return of capital on a book basis. These estimates are subject to change and will be finalized after year-end. The Fund's shares are currently trading at a premium to net asset value, a situation that the Board believes may not be sustainable [1].
Investors should carefully consider the investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses of the Fund before investing. For more information regarding the Fund's distribution policy and other details about the Fund, contact David Schachter at (914) 921-5057.
