Recent Company History

Over the past few months, ArrowMark Financial has focused on transparency around portfolio value and consistent income. Recent releases highlighted estimated unaudited NAVs around $22.40–$22.68 per share and a strong Q2 2025 with net income of $0.57 per share supporting a regular $0.45 and special $0.40 distribution. A new independent director with significant leveraged finance experience joined the board. Today’s Q3 2025 net income of $0.61 per share and combined $0.55 per-share Q4 distributions extend this theme of over-earning the distribution and emphasizing consistent income.

Market Pulse Summary

This announcement highlights Q3 2025 net income of $0.61 per share, comfortably above the regular quarterly distribution of $0.45 and supporting an additional $0.10 special distribution. It reinforces management’s message that the fund has over-earned its declared quarterly rate over several years. Investors may focus on how consistently future net income continues to cover and potentially exceed distributions, as well as on subsequent NAV updates and portfolio disclosures to gauge underlying asset performance and income durability.

Key Terms

closed-end management investment company financial

"an SEC registered closed-end management investment company, today announced"

A closed-end management investment company is a pooled investment fund that raises a fixed amount of capital by issuing a set number of shares and then lists those shares for trading on an exchange; investors buy and sell shares on the market rather than redeeming them back to the fund. Think of it like a store with a fixed number of bottles on the shelf: the market price can be higher or lower than the underlying value of the assets, which matters to investors because it affects returns, liquidity and income characteristics independent of the fund’s actual holdings.

shareholders of record financial

"payable on January 5, 2026 to shareholders of record on December 26, 2025"

Shareholders of record are the people officially listed as owners of a company's stock on a specific date. This matters because only these shareholders are entitled to receive dividends or vote at company meetings. It's like being on the official guest list for a party—you get to enjoy the perks and have a say.
