Invesco Trusts Maintain Distribution Stability for Investors
Invesco's Commitment to Consistent Distribution Rates
Invesco Ltd. has recently confirmed that their closed-end funds, including the Invesco Senior Income Trust (NYSE: VVR) and Invesco High Income Trust II (NYSE: VLT), will maintain their distribution rates. This decision was made by the Board of Trustees, ensuring shareholders can rely on steady income from their investments.
Understanding the Distribution Plans
Invesco Advisors, Inc., a subsidiary of Invesco Ltd. (NYSE: IVZ), announced the removal of the Managed Distribution Plans (MDPs) for both VVR and VLT. This move does not signal an end to the monthly distributions but is rather a strategic adjustment to allow these funds to respond more flexibly to changes in income levels. The MDP was initially put in place to provide a consistent distribution stream, addressing the inherent volatility that can occur due to the nature of senior loans.
Implications for Investors
The removal of the MDP will not affect the frequency or timing of monthly distributions, which will continue to be issued as normal. Investors can expect announcements regarding distributions through regular monthly press releases. At this time, Invesco believes that current market conditions will allow the distribution rates for both VVR and VLT to remain stable in the near future.
Portfolio Management and Strategies
Beyond the adjustments related to the MDPs, there are no significant changes to the investment philosophies, management styles, or teams overseeing VVR and VLT. Invesco continues to evaluate the effectiveness of its distribution strategies in relation to the total returns received by closed-end fund investors. This oversight is crucial as it impacts the overall performance of these investment vehicles.
Understanding Distribution Sources
To maintain the expected distribution levels, certain funds may draw from sources other than current net investment income. These sources might include previously accumulated undistributed net investment income or even a return of capital. Invesco emphasizes that while they strive to provide clarity about the sources of these distributions, fluctuations can occur.
Summary of Distribution Dates
The following key dates have been outlined for the upcoming distributions:
- Ex-Date: April 16
- Record Date: April 16
- Reinvest Date: April 30
- Payable Date: April 30
It is essential for investors to keep these dates in mind as they pertain to the timing of dividend payouts.
Investor Information and Resources
For those looking at the tax implications of their investments, Form 1099-DIV will provide essential data regarding the distributions for federal income tax purposes. Shareholders will find detailed information related to the tax character of distributions in the annual reports each fund provides, delivering a comprehensive overview of their investment’s performance.
At the close of the year, the final determination of the sources of distributions will take place. It is important to note that should any distributions arise from sources other than net investment income, a Section 19 Notice will be provided to shareholders, detailing these aspects for full transparency.
