The net asset value (NAV) of a closed-end fund is the market value of the underlying investments (i.e., stocks and bonds) in the Fund's portfolio, minus liabilities, divided by the total number of Fund shares outstanding. However, the Fund also has a market price; the value at which it trades on an exchange. If the market price is above the NAV the Fund is trading at a premium. If the market price is below the NAV the Fund is trading at a discount.
Performance returns for the Fund are total returns, which includes dividends, and are net of management fees and other Fund expenses. Returns are calculated assuming that a shareholder reinvested all distributions. Past performance cannot predict future investment results.
Performance will fluctuate with changes in market conditions. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data shown. Performance information shown does not reflect the deduction of taxes that shareholders would pay on Fund distributions or the sale of Fund shares. Shareholders must be willing to tolerate significant fluctuations in the value of their investment. An investment in the Fund involves risk, including loss of principal.
Sources of distributions to shareholders may include ordinary dividends, long-term capital gains and return of capital. The final determination of the source of all distributions in 2025 for tax reporting purposes will be made after year end. The actual amounts and sources of the amounts for tax reporting purposes will depend upon the Fund's investment experience during its fiscal year and may be subject to changes based on tax regulations. Based on current estimates a portion of the distributions consist of a return of capital. These estimates may not match the final tax characterization (for the full year's distributions) contained in shareholder 1099-DIV forms after the end of the year.

Clean Jeju Green Tea Cooperative ‘Sumang' to Launch New Hojicha Product This August
JEJU, South Korea, August 18, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Clean Jeju Green Tea Agricultural Cooperative 'Sumang' has announced that it plans to launch a new product—Hojicha—in August. Hojicha is a roasted green tea made by pan-firing tea leaves at high temperatures, known for its rich, nutty aroma and low caffeine content. Sumang is a vertically integrated producer that grows, processes, and sells organic green tea in Jeju Island. Benefiting from ideal tea-growing conditions—including proximity to the sea, warm temperatures, and frequent mist—the cooperative has been able to cultivate high-quality tea with a consistent moisture supply during the growth period. Recently, global interest in health and wellness has fueled rising demand for matcha, particularly in the United States. Exports have been steadily rising, and inquiries from international buyers are also growing. While many matcha products are flooding the market, consumers often struggle to find high-quality, properly graded matcha. The cooperative's "Sumang Tea Garden" brand offers matcha in three distinct grades: Ceremonial, Premium, and Superior, giving consumers a variety of options tailored to their taste and intended use. CEO Kyungmin Kang said, "While we currently focus on B2B transactions, our ultimate goal is to expand into direct-to-consumer channels with a comprehensive distribution network," adding, "We are committed to offering high-quality products at affordable prices." About Sumang Since 2007, Sumang has produced Jeju green tea of the highest quality, provided by the natural environment of Jeju Island, South Korea. Abiding by the strict rules of the Clean Jeju Green Tea Agricultural Cooperative, Sumang offers products that promote both health and environmental sustainability.
