FMO Announces Accrual for Income Tax Expense
14 November 2020 - 11:11AM
Fiduciary/Claymore Energy Infrastructure Fund (“FMO” or the “Fund”)
today announced a change in the estimate of the accrual of federal
and state income tax expense caused by sales of investments. The
Fund’s net asset value per share (“NAV”), which was impacted on
November 13, 2020, is $6.20, which takes into account such accrual.
The accrual is estimated, and the Fund’s actual tax liability could
vary.
The Fund is generally subject to U.S. federal income tax on its
taxable income at the 21% rate applicable to corporations and, in
addition, is subject to various state income taxes. The Fund
accrues estimated current federal and state income tax expense
based on current income and gains generated from its underlying
investments and trading activity. Any net current or deferred
income tax expense or net deferred income tax liability will reduce
the Fund’s NAV.
For purposes of estimating the Fund’s current and deferred
income tax expense or benefit, deferred tax liabilities and net
deferred tax assets for financial statement reporting and
determining its NAV, the Fund is required to rely, to some extent,
on information reported by the master limited partnerships (“MLPs”)
in which it invests. Such information may not be received in a
timely manner, with the result that the Fund’s estimates regarding
its deferred tax expense or liability could vary dramatically from
the Fund’s actual tax expense or liability and, as a result, the
determination of the Fund’s actual tax liability may have a
material impact on the Fund’s NAV. The Fund expects to receive such
final information from the MLPs in March/April 2021.
More Information About the Fund
The Fund’s investment objective is to provide a high level of
after-tax total return with an emphasis on current distributions
paid to shareholders. Under normal market conditions, the Fund
invests at least 80% of its managed assets in energy infrastructure
MLPs and other energy infrastructure companies (“energy
infrastructure entities”) and invests at least 65% of its managed
assets in equity securities of energy infrastructure entities. A
substantial portion of the energy infrastructure entities in which
the Fund invests are engaged primarily in the energy, natural
resources and real estate sectors.
There can be no assurance that the Fund will achieve its
investment objective. Investments in the Fund involve operating
expenses and fees. The NAV of the Fund will fluctuate with the
value of the underlying securities. It is important to note that
closed-end funds trade on their market value, not NAV, and
closed-end funds often trade at a discount to their NAV.
