Nuveen Closed-End Funds Declare Quarterly Distributions
02 March 2011 - 8:10AM
Business Wire
Nuveen Investments, a leading global provider of investment
services to institutions and high-net-worth investors, today
announced regular quarterly distributions for 16 Nuveen closed-end
funds. These funds represent a broad range of equity and taxable
fixed-income investment strategies for investors seeking to build
sophisticated and diversified long-term investment portfolios for
cash flow.
Distributions of income from Nuveen's taxable closed-end funds
are generally subject to Federal income taxes. In addition,
distributions for certain funds investing in real estate investment
trusts (REITs) may later be characterized as capital gains and/or a
return of capital, depending on the character of the dividends
reported to each fund after year-end by REIT securities held by
each fund. Funds that may be affected by such re-characterization
are noted on our web site at
http://www.nuveen.com/corporate/taxinfo/Default.aspx .
Each of these 16 funds has adopted a managed distribution
program. The goal of a fund’s managed distribution program is to
provide shareholders relatively consistent and predictable cash
flow by systematically converting its expected long-term return
potential into regular distributions. As a result, regular
distributions throughout the year will likely include a portion of
expected long-term gains (both realized and unrealized), along with
net investment income and/or a return of capital. Important points
to understand about Nuveen fund managed distributions are:
- Each Nuveen fund seeks to establish a
relatively stable distribution rate that roughly corresponds to the
projected total return from its investment strategy over an
extended period of time. However, you should not draw any
conclusions about a fund’s past or future investment performance
from its current distribution rate.
- Actual returns will differ from
projected long-term returns (and therefore a fund’s distribution
rate), at least over shorter time periods. Over a specific
timeframe, the difference between actual returns and total
distributions will be reflected in an increasing (returns exceed
distributions) or a decreasing (distributions exceed returns) fund
net asset value.
- Each quarter’s distributions are
expected to be paid from some or all of the following sources:
- net investment income (regular interest
and dividends),
- realized capital gains, and
- unrealized gains, or, in certain cases,
a return of principal (non-taxable distributions)
- A non-taxable distribution is a payment
of a portion of the fund’s capital. When fund returns exceed
distributions, it may represent portfolio gains earned, but not
realized as a taxable capital gain. In periods when fund returns
fall short of distributions, it will represent a portion of your
original principal unless the shortfall is offset during other time
periods over the life of your investment (previous or subsequent)
when the fund’s total return exceeds distributions.
- Because distribution source estimates
are updated quarterly based on a fund’s performance and forecast
for its current fiscal year (which is the calendar year for all the
funds listed below), these estimates may differ from both the tax
information reported to you in your fund’s 1099 statement, as well
as the ultimate economic sources of distributions over the life of
your investment.
Information regarding each fund’s distributions and total return
performance over various time periods will be sent to shareholders
with their distributions, and posted on www.nuveen.com/cef .
Additionally, estimates of the tax characteristics of each
fund’s distribution sources reflecting year-to-date cumulative
experience will also be mailed to shareholders and shown on
www.nuveen.com/cef. These estimates are for informational purposes
only. The estimates are calculated on a tax basis rather than on a
generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) basis, but should
not be used for tax reporting purposes. The actual amounts and
sources for tax reporting purposes will depend upon each fund’s
investment experience during the remainder of its fiscal year. The
final determination of the source and tax characteristics of all
distributions will be made in early 2010 and reported to
shareholders on Form 1099-DIV at that time.
