NEW YORK, Aug. 04, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- In a release issued on August 3, 2020 by Guggenheim Investments, footnote citations in the Distribution Schedule table were not presented correctly as superscript. The complete updated release follows:
Guggenheim Investments today announced that certain closed-end funds have declared their distributions. The table below summarizes the distribution schedule for each closed-end fund (collectively, the “Funds” and each, a “Fund”).
†A portion of this distribution is estimated to be a return of capital, which is also known as a “non-dividend distribution” and occurs when some or all of the shareholder’s investment is paid back to the shareholder, rather than income. Final determination of the character of distributions will be made at year-end. The Section 19(a) notice referenced below provides more information and can be found at www.guggenheiminvestments.com.
Past performance is not indicative of future performance. As of this announcement, the sources of each Fund distribution are estimates. A Fund’s distribution rate can be affected by numerous factors, including changes in realized and projected market returns and Fund performance. There can be no assurance that a change in market conditions or other factors will not result in a change in a Fund’s distribution rate. Distributions may be paid from sources of income other than ordinary income, such as short-term capital gains, long-term capital gains or return of capital. Unless otherwise noted, the distributions above are not anticipated to include a return of capital. If a distribution consists of something other than ordinary income, a Section 19(a) notice detailing the anticipated source(s) of the distribution will be made available. The Section 19(a) notice will be posted to a Fund’s website and to the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation so that brokers can distribute such notices to Shareholders of the Fund. Section 19(a) notices are provided for informational purposes only and not for tax reporting purposes. The final determination of the source and tax characteristics of all distributions in 2020 will be made after the end of the year. This information is not legal or tax advice. Consult a professional regarding your specific legal or tax matters.

This information does not represent an offer to sell securities of the Funds and it is not soliciting an offer to buy securities of the Funds. There can be no assurance that the Funds will achieve their investment objectives. Investments in the Funds involve operating expenses and fees. The net asset value of the Funds will fluctuate with the value of the underlying securities. It is important to note that closed-end funds trade on their market value, not net asset value, and closed-end funds often trade at a discount to their net asset value. Past performance is not indicative of future performance. Investors should be aware that, in light of the current uncertainty, volatility and distress in economies, financial markets, and labor and health conditions around the world, the risks of investing in the Funds are heightened significantly compared to normal conditions and therefore subject a Fund’s investments and a shareholder’s investment in a Fund to elevated investment risk, including the possible loss of the entire principal amount invested. Some general risks and considerations associated with investing in a closed-end fund may include: Credit Risk; Investment and Market Risk; High Yield/Lower Grade Securities Risk; Equity Securities Risk; Foreign Securities Risk; Interest Rate Risk; Liquidity and Valuation Risk; Derivative Risk; Management Risk; Anti-Takeover Provisions; Market Disruption Risk and Leverage Risk. See www.guggenheiminvestments.com/cef for a detailed discussion of Fund-specific risks.
