Figures of interest are:

MER: 1.14% of the whole unit value, excluding one time initial offering expenses.

Average Net Assets: We need this to calculate portfolio yield. MER of 2.07% including one time initial offering expenses. Total Expenses of 8,362,558 implies $404-million net assets. Preferred Share distributions of 20,714,872 @ 0.55 / share implies 37.66-million shares out on average. Average Unit Value (beginning & end of year) = (18.32 + 15.90) / 2 = 17.11. Therefore 37.66-million @ 17.11 = 644-million average net assets. Rotten agreement between these two methods, but they did have a lot of treasury offerings this year. Give 75% weight to the second calculation and call it 584-million average.

Underlying Portfolio Yield: Dividends received of 18,408,988 divided by average net assets of 584-million is 3.15%

Income Coverage: Net Investment Income of 10,399,064 (net of withholding, expenses and capital gains) divided by Preferred Share Distributions of 20,714,872 is 50%.
