Figures of interest are:

MER: “The MER per unit, excluding Preferred share distributions, was 0.97% in 2017 and 0.99% for 2016. This
ratio is more representative of the ongoing efficiency of the administration of the Fund.”

Average Net Assets: We need this to calculate portfolio yield. MER of 0.97% Total Expenses of 2,160,416 implies $223-million net assets. Preferred Share distributions of 3,414,174 @ 0.50 / share implies 6.828-million shares out on average. Average Unit Value (beginning & end of year) = (24.46 + 23.10) / 2 = 23,67. Therefore 6.828-million @ 23.67 = 234-million average net assets. Good agreement – call it 228-million.

Underlying Portfolio Yield: Dividends received of 6.982-million divided by average net assets of 228-million is 3.06%

Income Coverage: Net Investment Income of 4.833-million divided by Preferred Share Distributions of 3.414-million is 142%.
