The Fund states that this Plan aims to provide consistent quarterly distributions derived from ordinary income and short-term capital gains generated by the portfolio and that it seeks to narrow the discount between the market price and NAV of the Fund’s common shares, while noting that this outcome is not guaranteed. In addition, EMF’s news coverage includes information on performance and distribution rate statistics, such as average annual total return in relation to NAV, annualized distribution rates, cumulative total return, and fiscal year-to-date distribution rates.
