Overview

Investment Rationale

The Trust’s investment objective is to provide current income and additional total return. There is no assurance that the Trust will achieve its investment objective. The Trust seeks to provide investors with the following potential benefits:

  • Current income stream and additional total return
  • Active global allocation to navigate increasingly volatile markets
  • Diversified income from global dividends and opportunistic fixed income
  • Regular monthly distributions†

Download Investor Brochure

Investment Approach

The Trust seeks current income and additional total return by investing in a broad range of income-producing securities to include both equity and debt securities of companies located in the U.S. and around the globe. The Trust additionally expects to employ an options strategy to generate current income from options premiums and to improve risk-adjusted returns. There can be no assurance that the Trust will achieve its investment objective, and you could lose some or all of your investment.

Investment Strategy

The Trust will invest at least 80% of its Managed Assets, directly or indirectly, in a broad range of income-producing securities. The Trust will invest in both equity and debt securities of companies located in the United States and around the globe. The Trust may invest in companies of any market capitalization and may invest in both U.S. and non-U.S. countries, including up to 20% of its Managed Assets at the time of investment in equity and debt securities of emerging market companies. The Trust’s global equity allocation is expected to represent 75% of Managed Assets and may vary over time between 50% to 90% of Managed Assets. The Trust’s global debt allocation is expected to represent 25% of Managed Assets and may vary over time between 10% to 50% of Managed Assets.

The Trust’s options strategy is intended to generate current income from options premiums and to improve its risk-adjusted returns. The notional amount of the options strategy will be approximately 10% to 40% of the Trust’s Managed Assets.‡

The Trust has a 12-year term.§

1. The management fee is charged as a percentage of the Trust’s average daily Managed Assets, as opposed to net assets. With leverage, Managed Assets are greater in amount than net assets, because Managed Assets include assets attributable to the Trust’s use of leverage.

2. “Other Expenses” are based on estimated amounts for the current fiscal year.

Dividends Matter—Portfolio Resiliency in Uncertain Times

Important Information

There are risks inherent in any investment, including the possible loss of principal. There can be no assurance that the Trust will achieve its investment objective, and you could lose some or all of your investment. Closed-end funds frequently trade at discounts to their net asset value. Past performance is not guaranteed. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted.

† The Trust has a level distribution policy and the Trust intends to distribute to Common Shareholders regular monthly cash distributions of all or a portion of its net investment income. There is no assurance the Trust will make its initial monthly distribution or continue to pay regular monthly distributions or that it will do so at a particular rate. At times, to maintain a stable level of distributions, the Trust may pay out less than all of its net investment income or pay out accumulated undistributed income, or return capital, in addition to current net investment income. A return of capital reduces a Common Shareholder’s tax basis, which could result in higher taxes when the Common Shareholder sells such Common Shares. This may cause the Common Shareholder to owe taxes even if it sells Common Shares for less than the original purchase price of such Common Shares. The Trust reserves the right to change its distribution policy and the basis for establishing the amount and rate of its distributions at any time upon notice to shareholders.

‡ The Trust expects to sell out-of-the-money covered call options on a portion of the individual common stocks in its portfolio and sell call and put options on indices of securities and sectors of securities. The notional amount of the options strategy will be approximately 10% to 40% of the Trust’s Managed Assets.

§ The Trust will terminate on or before August 2, 2033 (the “Termination Date”); provided, that if the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board” or the “Trustees”) believes that, under then-current market conditions, it is in the best interests of the Trust to do so, the Trust may extend the Termination Date: (i) once for up to one year (i.e., up to August 2, 2034), and (ii) once for up to an additional six months (i.e., up to February 2, 2035), in each case upon the affirmative vote of a majority of the Board and without the approval of the holders of the Common Shares of the Trust (the “Common Shareholders”). In addition, as of a date within 12 months preceding the Termination Date, the Board may cause the Trust to conduct a tender offer to all Common Shareholders to purchase Common Shares of the Trust at a price equal to NAV per Common Share on the expiration date of the tender offer (an “Eligible Tender Offer”). In an Eligible Tender Offer, the Trust will offer to purchase all Common Shares held by each Common Shareholder; provided, that if the number of properly tendered Common Shares would result in the Trust’s net assets totaling less than $100 million of net assets (the “Termination Threshold”), the Eligible Tender Offer will be terminated and no Common Shares will be repurchased pursuant to the Eligible Tender Offer. Instead, the Trust will begin (or continue) liquidating its portfolio and proceed to terminate on or before the Termination Date. Following the completion of an Eligible Tender Offer, the Board may eliminate the limited term structure of the Trust upon the affirmative vote of a majority of the Board and without the approval of Common Shareholders.

The Trust reserves the right to employ leverage through (i) borrowings of up to 33 1/3% of Managed Assets; or (ii) issue Preferred Shares in an amount up to 50% of the Trust’s Managed Assets. If the Trust uses a combination of borrowing money and issuing Preferred Shares, the maximum allowable leverage will be between 33 1/3% and 50% (but in no event more than 50%) of Managed Assets, which is the maximum extent permitted by the 1940 Act. The Trust is permitted to use the following forms of leverage in combination: (a) reverse repurchase agreements, dollar rolls, derivatives or transactions that have the economic effect of leverage, (b) borrowings from a financial institution, and (c) the issuance of preferred shares.

The Trust has entered into a $75,000,000 credit facility agreement with an approved lender. The interest rate on the amount borrowed is 0.75% per annum and an unused commitment fee of 0.25% per annum is charged on the difference between the amount available to borrow under the credit agreement and the actual amount borrowed. As of September 30, 2023, there was $0 outstanding in connection with the Trust's credit facility. The average daily amount of borrowings on the credit facility during the year ended September 30, 2023, was $0 with an average interest rage of 0.25% and total expense incurred of $78,125. The interest expense is included in Other expenses in the Statement of Operations.

The Trust is not a so called “target date” or “life cycle” fund whose asset allocation becomes more conservative over time as its target date, often associated with retirement, approaches. In addition, the Trust is not a “target term” fund whose investment objective is to return its original NAV on the termination date.

Risk Considerations. Investments carry risks, including possible loss of principal. There is no guarantee the Trust’s investment objective will be achieved. Closed-end fund shares may frequently trade at a discount or premium to their net asset value. Additional risks may be associated with investments outside the United States, especially in emerging markets, including currency fluctuations, illiquidity, volatility, and political and economic risks. Investments in small and mid-capitalization companies may increase the risk of greater price fluctuations. Portfolios investing in bonds have the same interest rate, inflation, and credit risks that are associated with the underlying bonds. The value of bonds will fluctuate relative to changes in interest rates, decreasing when interest rates rise. Investments in the Fund are not FDIC insured, nor are they bank deposits or guaranteed by a bank or any entity. Performance data quoted represents past performance. Past performance is not guaranteed. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. An investment in this Trust presents a number of risks and is not suitable for all investors. Investors should carefully review and consider potential risks before investing. These and other risk considerations are described in more detail on the Trust’s web page at www.thornburg.com.

Portfolio attributes and holdings can and do vary. Cash includes cash equivalents. Returns for less than one year are not annualized.
