Following a review on April 24, 2025, the board confirmed that total net asset value climbed to approximately $1.26 billion, with total assets reaching around $1.29 billion.

Public Offering Prices Adjusted

The board also locked in new public offering prices, effective April 30, 2025.

Investors can plan for distribution payments on May 28, based on a record date of May 27.

Performance Metrics Show Continued Strength

Performance across the board continues to show strength. Year-to-date returns as of March 31, 2025, held at around 1.5% for most classes. One-year trailing returns came in above 9% for shares purchased without upfront sales charges. Over five years, annualized returns ranged from approximately 9% to 12%, depending on the share class and sales load structure.

Distribution Sources Detailed

The company also laid out how distributions were funded. For the first quarter of 2025:

Approximately 84% of distributions came from net investment income.

Roughly 16% was sourced from distributions exceeding net investment income.
