^a Please see table below for each Fund's estimated source of distributions.
^b Quarterly paying distribution.

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 net 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.

Each 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 Funds' 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		31.19%		-		-		68.81%	(a)
BWG	Oct 31		71.61%		-		-		28.39%	(b)
EMD	Dec 31		61.59%		-		-		38.41%	(b)

^(a) Sources of cumulative fiscal year-to-date distributions are estimated through June 30, 2021.
^(b) Sources of cumulative fiscal year-to-date distributions are estimated through August 31, 2021.

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 2022, 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).
