| (1) | Computed using average shares outstanding. |
| (2) | Amount is less than $0.005. |
| (3) | Returns are historical and are calculated by determining the percentage change in net asset value or market value with all distributions reinvested. Distributions are assumed to be reinvested at prices obtained under the Fund's dividend reinvestment plan. |
| (4) | Total expenses do not reflect amounts reimbursed and/or waived by the adviser and certain of its affiliates, if applicable. Net expenses are net of all reductions and represent the net expenses paid by the Fund. |
| (5) | Includes a reduction by the investment adviser of a portion of its adviser fee due to the Fund's investment in the Liquidity Fund (equal to less than 0.005% of average daily net assets for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, 2023 and 2022). |
| (6) | The tax character of a portion of the distribution ($0.069 per share) was based on management's estimate and was subsequently determined to be $0.063 per share of tax return of capital and $0.006 per share from net realized gain. |
| (7) | During the year ended December 31, 2017, the Fund received a payment from an affiliate as reimbursement for certain losses. Excluding this payment, total return at net asset value would have been 23.72%. |
