Monthly cash distribution of $0.0650 declared for Oct–Dec 2025 under the Fund's managed distribution policy.

Clough Global Equity Fund (GLQ) will pay a monthly distribution of $0.0650 per share with ex-/record dates on October 17, 2025, November 17, 2025, and December 17, 2025 and payables on October 31, 2025, November 28, 2025, and December 31, 2025. The Board ties the rate to at least one twelfth of 10% of adjusted year‑end NAV, computed as the average NAV over the last five business days of the prior calendar year.

The distribution may include short‑term and long‑term capital gains or return of capital; the final source and the percentage of qualified dividend income will be determined after year‑end. The announcement lists $244.4 million in total assets for the Fund and notes the adviser manages approximately $1.4 billion across strategies (all figures as of September 30, 2025). This is a routine managed distribution rather than an extraordinary corporate event.

Key dependencies and risks include the final year‑end NAV calculation, the eventual characterization of the distribution (income vs return of capital), and secondary‑market pricing behavior for a closed‑end structure. Watch the post‑ex dividend market discount/premium and the year‑end distribution tax characterization when published; near‑term monitoring window: through the year‑end tax filing and NAV publication in early 2026.
