Figures of interest are:

MER: 1.16% of the whole unit value, excluding one time initial offering expenses.

Average Net Assets: We need this to calculate portfolio yield. MER of 1.16% Total Expenses of 3,834,619 implies $331-million net assets. Preferred Share distributions of 9,986,252 @ 0.525 / share implies 19.0-million shares out on average. Average Unit Value (beginning & end of year) = (16.85 + 17.18) / 2 = 17.02. Therefore 19.0-million @ 17.02 = 323-million average net assets. Good agreement between these two methods! Call it 327-million average.

Underlying Portfolio Yield: Dividends received (net of withholding) of 9,514,391 divided by average net assets of 327-million is 2.91%

Income Coverage: Net Investment Income of 5,990,665 divided by Preferred Share Distributions of 9,986,252 is 60%.
