NFJ’s updates also highlight NAV-based performance metrics, such as average annual total return on NAV over multi-year periods, the annualized current distribution rate, and fiscal year-to-date cumulative total return and distribution rates. The fund notes that these figures are calculated using net asset value rather than market price and are not intended to represent individual shareholder performance.
Other notable news items include announcements about the fund’s share repurchase program, under which the Board of Trustees has authorized repurchases of common shares in the open market when they trade at a discount to NAV, and portfolio manager updates describing changes within the NFJ and Voya management teams while affirming that the fund’s team-oriented investment processes remain in place.
