Illustrative cost of $10,000
Using the latest total expense ratio of 2.56% on common net assets:
- $10,000 invested at market price ($12.41)
- buys 805.8 shares with NAV exposure of $11,402.10 → about $291.89 of annual expenses on that NAV.
- $10,000 of NAV exposure
- about $256.00 per year.
Expenses are charged on fund net assets, so a discount changes how much NAV a market dollar buys. Performance figures on this site already reflect fund expenses; do not deduct them again.

Leverage amplifies both gains and losses and increases the volatility of NAV and market price. Financing costs (interest on borrowings, dividends on preferred shares) reduce distributable income and are included in the total expense ratio when the fund reports them that way. Instruments, fixed-versus-floating terms, reset dates and maturities are described in the notes to the financial statements. “No reported borrowing” does not rule out economic leverage from derivatives or structured instruments.
