Dear Shareholders:
This notice provides detailed information which may assist you and your advisors. This notice is for informational purposes only. No action is required on your part.
The current regular monthly distribution is $0.045 per share. You are receiving this notice as a requirement of the managed distribution plan, which provides insight into the estimated character of the distribution in terms of income, capital gain, and potential return of capital. You should expect to receive this notice with every distribution. The characterization of future distributions will change as the performance of the Fund matures through the course of the year.
IGR’s current distribution rate represents an annualized yield of 6.9% based on the closing market price of $7.83 on January 7, 2011 and a 6.3% yield on a closing NAV of $8.52 as of the same date.
This notice relates to the regular monthly distribution in the amount of $0.045 per share payable January 31, 2011 to shareholders of record on January 24, 2011. The Fund has paid or declared total distribution of $0.045 per share to date in fiscal year 2011 (January 1, 2011 to January 31, 2011). The source of the distributions declared for the month and current fiscal year are estimated as follows:
Estimated Source of Distributions:
                                         
            Estimated Allocations
            Net Investment   Net Realized Short-   Net Realized Long-   Return of

SHAREHOLDERS SHOULD NOT USE THE INFORMATION PROVIDED IN THIS NOTICE IN PREPARING THEIR TAX RETURNS. SHAREHOLDERS WILL RECEIVE A FORM 1099-DIV FOR THE CALENDAR YEAR INDICATING HOW TO REPORT FUND DISTRIBUTIONS FOR FEDERAL INCOME TAX PURPOSES.
The Fund’s dividend policy is established by the Board of Trustees. The dividend is set by the Board at regular intervals with consideration of investment income and realized gains expected for the year. Each distribution is expected to be paid from some or all of the following sources: net investment income, realized long-term gains and short-term gains, and unrealized gains or in certain cases a return of capital (i.e., a non-taxable distribution). The Fund’s distribution rate should not be confused with pure income or yield. We strive to establish a level regular dividend that over the course of the year will pay out all income and realized gains with a minimum of special distributions.
The Fund invests primarily in real estate investment trusts (REITs) and similar companies. When these companies make distributions to the Fund during the year, the Fund uses past disclosures and the estimates provided by the companies to provide you with estimated sources of distributions paid to you. Until the Fund receives a final determination from these companies as to the source of distributions — generally around January 31 of the following year — the Fund cannot provide you with a final determination of the source of distributions paid.
The amounts and sources of distributions reported in this 19(a) Notice are only estimates and are not provided for tax reporting purposes. The actual amounts and sources of the amounts for accounting and tax reporting purposes will depend upon the Fund’s investment experience during the remainder of its fiscal year and may be subject to changes based on tax regulations.
The Fund invests in certain companies that have been designated as “passive foreign investment companies” (“PFICs”) for purposes of U.S. tax regulations. Increases in the value of these PFICs (“PFIC Income”) increase the income of the Fund. PFIC Income does not reflect dividends or other income actually received by the Fund, although it does serve to increase the Net Investment Income the Fund is required to distribute. The amount of Net Investment Income described in the foregoing table (Estimated Source of Distributions) may include PFIC Income. Decreases in the value of these PFICs (“PFIC Losses”) offset the other investment income of the Fund. PFIC Losses do not reflect a diminution in the amount of dividends or income actually received by the Fund, although they do serve to reduce the Net Investment Income the Fund is required to distribute. The amount of Net Investment Income in the foregoing table (Estimated Source of Distributions) may have been reduced by PFIC Losses.

 


 

The Fund estimates that it has distributed more than its income and capital gains; therefore, a portion of your distribution may be a return of capital. A return of capital may occur, for example, when some or all of the money that you invested in the Fund is paid back to you. A return of capital distribution does not necessarily reflect the Fund’s investment performance and should not be confused with “yield” or “income”.
Shareholders should not draw any conclusions about the Fund’s investment performance from the amount of this distribution or from the terms of the Fund’s managed distribution policy. Please note that all performance figures below are based on the Fund’s net asset value (“NAV”) and not the market price of the Fund’s shares. Performance figures are not meant to represent individual shareholder performance.
The Fund’s cumulative year-to-date total return for fiscal year 2010 (January 1, 2010 through December 31, 2010) is set forth below. Shareholders should take note of the relationship between the Year-to-date Cumulative Total Return on NAV and the Fund’s Cumulative Distribution Rate for 2010. Moreover, the Fund’s Average Annual Total Return (in relation to its NAV) for the preceding five-year period (January 1, 2006 through December 31, 2010) is set forth below. Shareholders should take note of the relationship between the Fund’s Average Annual Total Return on NAV for the preceding five-year period and the Fund’s Current Annualized Distribution Rate for 2010 as well as its Average Annual Distribution Rate for the preceding five-year period. The performance and distribution rate information disclosed in the table below is based on the Fund’s NAV. The Fund’s NAV is calculated as the total market value of all the securities and other assets held by the Fund minus the total liabilities, divided by the total number of common shares outstanding. While NAV performance may be indicative of the Fund’s investment performance, it does not measure the value of a shareholder’s individual investment in the Fund. The value of a shareholder’s investment in the Fund is determined by the Fund’s market price, which is based on the supply and demand for the Fund’s shares in the open-market. Shareholders holding Fund shares indirectly with a broker dealer should contact their financial advisor regarding the market price performance of their investment in the Fund.

The Fund’s NAV is calculated as the total market value of all the securities and other assets held by the Fund minus the total liabilities, divided by the total number of common shares outstanding. While NAV performance may be indicative of the Fund’s investment performance, it does not measure the value of a shareholder’s individual investment in the Fund. The value of a shareholder’s investment in the Fund is determined by the Fund’s market price, which is based on the supply and demand for the Fund’s shares in the open-market. Shareholders holding Fund shares indirectly with a broker dealer should contact their financial advisor regarding the market price performance of their investment in the Fund.

Dear Shareholders:
This notice provides detailed information which may assist you and your advisors. This notice is for informational purposes only. No action is required on your part.
The current regular monthly distribution is $0.045 per share. You are receiving this notice as a requirement of the managed distribution plan, which provides insight into the estimated character of the distribution in terms of income, capital gain, and potential return of capital. You should expect to receive this notice with every distribution. The characterization of future distributions will change as the performance of the Fund matures through the course of the year.
IGR’s current distribution rate represents an annualized yield of 6.6% based on the closing market price of $8.25 on May 6, 2011 and a 5.9% yield on a closing NAV of $9.16 as of the same date.
This notice relates to the regular monthly distribution in the amount of $0.045 per share payable May 31, 2011 to shareholders of record on May 23, 2011. The Fund has paid or declared total distributions of $0.225 per share to date in fiscal year 2011 (January 1, 2011 to May 31, 2011). The source of the distributions declared for the month and current fiscal year are estimated as follows:
Estimated Source of Distributions:
                                         
            Estimated Allocations
            Net Investment   Net Realized Short-   Net Realized Long-   Return of

    *Including PFIC Income, as defined below.
SHAREHOLDERS SHOULD NOT USE THE INFORMATION PROVIDED IN THIS NOTICE IN PREPARING THEIR TAX RETURNS. SHAREHOLDERS WILL RECEIVE A FORM 1099-DIV FOR THE CALENDAR YEAR INDICATING HOW TO REPORT FUND DISTRIBUTIONS FOR FEDERAL INCOME TAX PURPOSES.
The Fund’s dividend policy is established by the Board of Trustees. The dividend is set by the Board at regular intervals with consideration of investment income and realized gains expected for the year. Each distribution is expected to be paid from some or all of the following sources: net investment income, realized long-term gains and short-term gains, and unrealized gains or in certain cases a return of capital. The Fund’s distribution rate should not be confused with pure income or yield. We strive to establish a level regular dividend that over the course of the year will pay out all income and realized gains with a minimum of special distributions.
The Fund invests primarily in real estate investment trusts (REITs) and similar companies. When these companies make distributions to the Fund during the year, the Fund uses past disclosures and the estimates provided by the companies to provide you with estimated sources of distributions paid to you. Until the Fund receives a final determination from these companies as to the source of distributions — generally around January 31 of the following year — the Fund cannot provide you with a final determination of the source of distributions paid.
The amounts and sources of distributions reported in this 19(a) Notice are only estimates and are not provided for tax reporting purposes. The actual amounts and sources of the amounts for accounting and tax reporting purposes will depend upon the Fund’s investment experience during the remainder of its fiscal year and may be subject to changes based on tax regulations.
The Fund invests in certain companies that have been designated as “passive foreign investment companies” (“PFICs”) for purposes of U.S. tax regulations. Increases in the value of these PFICs (“PFIC Income”) increase the income of the Fund. PFIC Income does not reflect dividends or other income actually received by the Fund, although it does serve to increase the Net Investment Income the Fund is required to distribute. The amount of Net Investment Income described in the foregoing table (Estimated Source of Distributions) may include PFIC Income. Decreases in the value of these PFICs (“PFIC Losses”) offset the other investment income of the Fund. PFIC Losses do not reflect a diminution in the amount of dividends or income actually received by the Fund, although they do serve to reduce the Net Investment Income the Fund is required to distribute. The amount of Net Investment Income in the foregoing table (Estimated Source of Distributions) may have been reduced by PFIC Losses.

 


 

The Fund estimates that it has distributed more than its income and capital gains; therefore, a portion of your distribution may be a return of capital. A return of capital may occur, for example, when some or all of the money that you invested in the Fund is paid back to you. A return of capital distribution does not necessarily reflect the Fund’s investment performance and should not be confused with “yield” or “income”.
Shareholders should not draw any conclusions about the Fund’s investment performance from the amount of this distribution or from the terms of the Fund’s managed distribution policy. Please note that all performance figures below are based on the Fund’s net asset value (“NAV”) and not the market price of the Fund’s shares. Performance figures are not meant to represent individual shareholder performance.
The Fund’s cumulative year-to-date total return for fiscal year 2011 (January 1, 2011 through April 30, 2011) is set forth below. Shareholders should take note of the relationship between the Year-to-date Cumulative Total Return on NAV and the Fund’s Cumulative Distribution Rate for 2011. Moreover, the Fund’s Average Annual Total Return (in relation to its NAV) for the preceding five-year period (May 1, 2006 through April 30, 2011) is set forth below. Shareholders should take note of the relationship between the Fund’s Average Annual Total Return on NAV for the preceding five-year period and the Fund’s Current Annualized Distribution Rate for 2011 as well as its Average Annual Distribution Rate for the preceding five-year period. The performance and distribution rate information disclosed in the table below is based on the Fund’s NAV. The Fund’s NAV is calculated as the total market value of all the securities and other assets held by the Fund minus the total liabilities, divided by the total number of common shares outstanding.
