Key Terms

net asset value (nav), distribution yield, assets under management, form 1099-div

4 terms

net asset value (nav) financial

"based on the Fund's net asset value (NAV) and market price as of"

Net asset value (NAV) is the per-share value of an investment fund calculated by totaling the fund’s assets, subtracting its liabilities, and dividing the remainder by the number of outstanding shares. Think of it like a price tag on each share of a collective piggy bank: investors use NAV to see what each share is worth, to compare funds, and, for many funds, it’s the price at which shares are bought or redeemed.

distribution yield financial

"annualized distribution yield1 of 11.5% and 12.9%, respectively, based on"

Distribution yield is the annual amount of cash a stock, fund, or similar investment pays out to holders, expressed as a percentage of its current price — think of it as the investment’s “cash return rate.” Investors use it like the interest rate on a savings account to compare how much income different investments produce, but it is a snapshot based on recent payouts and the current price, not a guaranteed future payment.

assets under management financial

"The Fund has approximately $2.2 billion in assets under management and invests"

Assets under management (AUM) is the total value of all the investments that a financial company or fund is responsible for overseeing on behalf of its clients. It’s like a big bucket that shows how much money the firm is managing for people or organizations. A higher AUM often indicates a larger, more trusted company, and it can influence how much money they earn and the services they can offer.

form 1099-div regulatory

"The Fund will send a Form 1099-DIV to shareholders for the calendar year"

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.
