Figures of interest are:

MER: 1.48% of the whole unit value, excluding one time initial offering expenses.

Average Net Assets: We need this to calculate portfolio yield. MER of 1.48% Total Expenses of 3,284,849 implies $222-million net assets. Preferred Share distributions of 6,781,917 @ 0.525 / share implies 12.9-million shares out on average. Average Unit Value (beginning & end of year) = (17.76 + 17.14) / 2 = 17.45. Therefore 12.9-million @ 17.45 = 225-million average net assets. Good agreement between these two methods! Call it 224-million average.

Underlying Portfolio Yield: Dividends received (net of withholding) of 5,526,373 divided by average net assets of 224-million is 2.47%

Income Coverage: Net Investment Income of 2,242,511 divided by Preferred Share Distributions of 6,781,917 is 33%.
