⁽¹⁾

Computed using average shares outstanding.

⁽²⁾

The tax character of a portion of the distribution ($0.069 per share) was based on management’s estimate and was subsequently determined to be $0.063 per share of tax return of capital and $0.006 per share from net realized gain.

⁽³⁾

Returns are historical and are calculated by determining the percentage change in net asset value or market value with all distributions reinvested. Distributions are assumed to be reinvested at prices obtained under the Fund’s dividend reinvestment plan.

⁽⁴⁾

Includes a reduction by the investment adviser of a portion of its adviser fee due to the Fund’s investment in the Liquidity Fund (equal to less than 0.005% of average daily net assets for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022).

⁽⁵⁾

During the year ended December 31, 2017, the Fund received a payment from an affiliate as reimbursement for certain losses. Excluding this payment, total return at net asset value would have been 23.72%.

⁽⁶⁾

Excludes the effect of custody fee credits, if any, of less than 0.005%. Effective September 1, 2015, custody fee credits, which were earned on cash deposit balances, were discontinued by the custodian.
