Insights

Fund raised its annual payout 20% to $0.72, starting January 2026, after a 37% YTD NAV total return.

The Board increased the annual distribution to $0.72 per share, paying $0.06 monthly beginning with the January 2026 distribution; the Board also reaffirmed monthly cash payouts and declared the January, February, and March 2026 payments with specific record and payable dates provided. This is a direct cash-return mechanism that boosts near-term income for shareholders.

Risks and dependencies include the Fund’s statement that 2025 distributions are expected to primarily constitute a return of capital, and that distributions may exceed earnings; both facts limit the long-term interpretability of the higher payout. The Fund also notes option-premium short-term gains and tax-basis capital loss carryforwards affect taxable components, so the cash distribution size does not equal taxable income.

Concrete items to watch: whether monthly payments continue at $0.06 beyond March 2026, the final after-year-end allocation of 2025 distributions on Form 1099-DIV in early 2026, and any Board statements on sustainability relative to NAV and realized gains over the next quarter. Monitor those items through the next Board review cycle and the early 2026 tax notices.

RYE, N.Y., Nov. 12, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Board of Trustees of GAMCO Natural Resources, Gold & Income Trust (NYSE:GNT) (the “Fund”) increased the annual distribution 20% to $0.72 per share, which will be paid $0.06 per share monthly, commencing with the January 2026 monthly distribution. The increase reflects the strength of the Fund’s NAV total return of 37% year to date.

The Board of Trustees approved the continuation of its policy of paying monthly cash distributions. The Board of Trustees declared cash distributions of $0.06 per share for each of January, February, and March 2026. Based on current dynamics, the Fund may make distributions in excess of the Fund’s earnings. It is currently expected that distributions to common shareholders in 2025 will primarily constitute a return of capital for tax purposes.

Distribution MonthRecord DatePayable DateDistribution Per Share
JanuaryJanuary 15, 2026January 23, 2026$0.06
FebruaryFebruary 12, 2026February 20, 2026$0.06
MarchMarch 17, 2026March 24, 2026$0.06


Each quarter, the Board of Trustees reviews the amount of any potential distribution from the income, realized capital gain, or capital available. The Board of Trustees will continue to monitor the Fund’s distribution level, taking into consideration the Fund’s net asset value and the financial market environment. The distribution rate should not be considered the dividend yield or total return on an investment in the Fund.

Because the Fund’s current monthly distributions are subject to modification by the Board of Trustees at any time and the Fund’s income will fluctuate, there can be no assurance that the Fund will pay distributions at a particular rate or frequency.   Shareholders should not draw any conclusions about the Fund’s investment performance from the amount of the current distribution.

Short-term capital gains, qualified dividend income, ordinary income, and return of capital, if any, will be allocated on a pro-rata basis to all distributions to common shareholders for the year. There are no capital loss carryforwards for book purposes. Therefore the Fund, on a book basis, may be distributing short term gains generated from option premiums that will not be taxable in 2025 because of the capital loss carryforwards available on a tax basis. The estimated components of each distribution are updated and provided to shareholders of record in a notice accompanying the distribution and are available on our website (www.gabelli.com). The final determination of the sources of all distributions in 2025 will be made after year end and can vary from the monthly estimates. Shareholders should not draw any conclusions about the Fund’s investment performance from the amount of the current distribution. All individual shareholders with taxable accounts will receive written notification regarding the components and tax treatment for all 2025 distributions in early 2026 via Form 1099-DIV.

Investors should carefully consider the investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses of the Fund before investing. For more information regarding the Fund’s distribution policy and other information about the Fund, call:

The Fund’s NAV per share will fluctuate with changes in the market value of the Fund’s portfolio securities. Stocks are subject to market, economic, and business risks that cause their prices to fluctuate. Investors acquire shares of the Fund on a securities exchange at market value, which fluctuates according to the dynamics of supply and demand. When Fund shares are sold, they may be worth more or less than their original cost. Consequently, you can lose money by investing in the Fund.

Covered Call and Other Option Transaction Risks. There are several risks associated with writing covered calls and entering into other types of option transactions. For example, there are significant differences between the securities and options markets that could result in an imperfect correlation between these markets, resulting in a given transaction not achieving its objectives. In addition, a decision as to whether, when, and how to use covered call options involves the exercise of skill and judgment, and even a well-conceived transaction may be unsuccessful because of market behavior or unexpected events. As the writer of a covered call option, the Fund forgoes, during the option’s life, the opportunity to profit from increases in the market value of the security covering the call option above the exercise price of the call option, but has retained the risk of loss should the price of the underlying security decline.
