Insights

Fund discloses unexpected Board chair death and interim leadership shift.

The fund reports that its Board Chairperson, Mark R. Fetting, unexpectedly passed away on August 9, 2025. This represents an unplanned change at the top of the Board, which oversees the fund’s management and policies, although day-to-day portfolio management is not described as changing here.

Susan J. Sutherland is serving as acting Chairperson, which helps maintain governance structure while the Board considers longer-term leadership decisions. The Board also reduced its size from ten to nine members effective August 12, 2025, aligning its composition with the vacancy created by Mr. Fetting’s passing.

From an investor perspective, this is primarily a governance update rather than an operational or financial event. Future disclosures in company filings may provide additional detail on any permanent chair appointment or further Board changes.
