Under the terms of each Fund’s managed distribution policy, the Fund seeks to maintain a consistent distribution level derived from the income and capital gains generated from the Fund’s investment portfolio. Shareholders should note that if the Fund’s aggregate net investment income and net realized capital gains are less than the amount of the distributions paid, the difference will be distributed from the Fund's assets and may constitute a return of the shareholder’s capital. The Board of Directors may modify, terminate or suspend the managed distribution policy at any time. Any such modification, termination or suspension could have an adverse effect on the market price of the Fund’s shares.

The Fund’s distributions have been set based on the current level of income generated from the Fund’s investment portfolio and accumulated capital gains, if any. Based on the Fund's tax accounting records, which also factors in currency fluctuations, each Fund’s estimated source of cumulative fiscal year-to-date distributions is presented in the table below:

Fund	Fiscal Year End	Income		Short-Term Capital Gains	Long-Term Capital Gains	Return of Capital
SCD	Nov 30	33.17	%	-	-	66.83	%	a
BWG	Oct 31	46.27	%	-	-	53.73	%	b
EMD	Dec 31	87.92	%	-	-	12.08	%	c

^a	Sources of cumulative fiscal year-to-date distributions are estimated through September 30, 2018.
^b	Sources of cumulative fiscal year-to-date distributions are estimated through October 31, 2018. Sources of calendar fiscal year-to-date distributions are estimated to be 82.72% sourced from income and 17.28% from a return of capital for the month ended November 30, 2018.
^c	Sources of cumulative fiscal year-to-date distributions are estimated through November 30, 2018.

The updated estimated components of the distributions announced today will be provided to shareholders of record in a separate notice when the distributions are paid.

This press release is not for tax reporting purposes but is being provided to announce the amount of each Fund’s distributions that have been declared by the Board of Directors. In early 2019, after definitive information is available, each Fund will send shareholders a Form 1099-DIV, if applicable, specifying how the distributions paid by each Fund during the prior calendar year should be characterized for purposes of reporting the distributions on a shareholder’s tax return (e.g., ordinary income, long-term capital gain or return of capital).
