To the extent any portion of the distribution is estimated to be sourced from something other than income, such as return of capital, the source would be disclosed on a Section 19(a)-1 letter located on the Fund's website under the "Literature" tab. A distribution rate that is largely comprised of sources other than income may not be reflective of the Fund's performance.
