Dividends and Distributions
| 1. | Please inform the SEC’s staff (the “Staff”) whether the Fund intends to report a distribution rate. If the Fund does intend to report a distribution rate at any point prior to finalizing tax figures, the Staff notes that the Fund should disclose the estimated portion of the distribution rate that results from a return of capital. The Staff requests that any reports that would contain a distribution yield needs to be accompanied by the full return and/or SEC yield. |
The Fund confirms that it will follow applicable SEC and Staff guidance to the extent that it reports a distribution rate.
