Key Terms
closed-end fundfinancial
A closed-end fund is a pool of money collected from many investors to buy a diversified mix of stocks, bonds, or other assets, and it is managed by professionals. Unlike some investment options, its shares are bought and sold on stock exchanges at prices determined by supply and demand, which can be above or below the fund's actual value. This structure allows investors to buy or sell shares easily, but the value may fluctuate based on market conditions.
record datefinancial
The record date is the specific day when a company determines which shareholders are eligible to receive a dividend or participate in an upcoming vote. It’s like a cutoff date; if you own the stock on that day, you get the benefits or voting rights. This date matters because it decides who qualifies for certain company benefits.
ex-distributionfinancial
"Ex-distribution" means a stock is traded without including the upcoming dividend or payout. If you buy a stock just before this date, you'll receive the payout, but if you buy it afterward, you won't. It’s important because it affects the stock’s price and whether investors get the upcoming payment.
return of capitalfinancial
Return of capital is when an investor receives money from their investment that is not considered profit or earnings but rather a portion of the original amount they invested. It’s similar to getting back part of your initial savings rather than gains from it. This matters because it can affect how much money an investor still has in the investment and may have tax implications.
Section 19(a) of the Investment Company Act of 1940regulatory
Section 19(a) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 is a legal rule that bars certain insiders—such as a fund’s affiliates and its principal underwriters—from buying or redeeming shares of the fund in ways that could create unfair advantages or manipulate prices. It matters to investors because it helps prevent self-dealing and preserves fair treatment and market integrity, similar to rules that stop referees from betting on games they officiate.
Form 1099-DIVregulatory
Form 1099-DIV is a U.S. tax document brokers, mutual funds and other financial institutions send to investors showing dividends and other distributions paid during the year. Investors use it like an annual receipt to report taxable income — including regular dividends, dividends that may qualify for lower tax rates, and capital gains distributions — so it directly affects tax liability and helps reconcile brokerage records with a tax return.
investment gradefinancial
A credit rating label assigned to bonds or borrowers that signals relatively low risk of default; think of it as a strong health check for a company's or government's ability to repay debt. It matters to investors because investment-grade status typically means lower interest costs for the borrower, greater eligibility for conservative funds and pension portfolios, and generally more stable returns compared with higher-risk, non-investment-grade debt.
ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Angel Oak Financial Strategies Income Term Trust (the “Fund”), a closed-end fund traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol FINS, today declared a distribution of $0.115 per share for the month of December 2025. The record date for the distribution is December 17, 2025, and the payable date is December 31, 2025. The Fund will trade ex-distribution on December 17, 2025.
Although the Fund seeks to pay a distribution at a rate that is representative of net investment income actually earned, a portion of each distribution may be treated as paid from sources other than net investment income, including, to the extent permitted by law, short-term capital gain, long-term capital gain, or return of capital. As required by Section 19(a) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, a notice will be distributed to shareholders in the event that a portion of a monthly distribution is derived from sources other than undistributed net investment income. The final determination of the source and tax characteristics of these distributions will depend upon the Fund’s investment experience during its fiscal year and will be made after the Fund’s year end. The Fund will send to investors a Form 1099-DIV for the calendar year that will define how to report these distributions for federal income tax purposes. Angel Oak does not provide tax advice; shareholders should consult their tax advisor. A return of capital distribution does not necessarily reflect a fund’s investment performance and should not be confused with “yield” or “income.”
Led by Angel Oak’s experienced financial services team, FINS invests predominantly in U.S. financial sector debt as well as selective opportunities across financial sector preferred and common equity. Under normal circumstances, at least 50% of FINS’ portfolio is publicly rated investment grade or, if unrated, judged to be of investment grade quality by Angel Oak Capital Advisors.
