IMPORTANT DISCLOSURE: You should not draw any conclusions about the Funds' investment performance from the amount of this distribution or from the terms of the Funds' Plan.

The amounts and sources of distributions reported in this Section 19(a) Notice are only estimates and are not being provided for tax reporting purposes. The actual amounts and sources of the amounts for tax reporting purposes will depend upon the Funds' investment experience during the remainder of its fiscal year and may be subject to changes based on tax regulations.

1 Reason Why Now Is the Time to Buy Bitcoin (BTC)
Key Points Bitcoin's scarcity, with a hard cap of 21 million units, is what makes it a special asset. The digital asset's supply is enforced by a pre-determined halving schedule. Because of the burgeoning federal debt and money supply, Bitcoin's price should keep rising. 10 stocks we like better than Bitcoin › It's impossible to argue with Bitcoin 's (CRYPTO: BTC) performance. Over the past five- and 10-year periods, its price has soared 942% and 47,330%, respectively (as of Aug. 14). The gains have continued more recently, as the cryptocurrency's price is up 104% just in the last 12 months. Bitcoin now trades close to its record price. After such a monumental historical rise, investors are probably wondering if it's smart to buy this top digital asset. In my opinion, it's easy to remain bullish. Here's one must-know reason why now is the time to buy Bitcoin. Where to invest $1,000 right now? Our analyst team just revealed what they believe are the 10 best stocks to buy right now. Continue » Bitcoin has a fixed supply The top reason to buy Bitcoin now is because this leading cryptocurrency has a fixed supply cap. There will only ever be 21 million units in circulation. Right now, there are 19.9 million Bitcoin units out there. The growth in supply is pre-determined by a halving event that occurs approximately every four years. Unless the majority of nodes agree to change the rules, Bitcoin's hard cap isn't going to change. Never-ending currency debasement Owning a scarce asset makes financial sense in its own right. However, when viewed next to the state of the current monetary system, the allure is strikingly clear. The U.S. carries an alarming $37 trillion in federal debt. This figure, and the money supply, have skyrocketed in the past 15 years thanks to unprecedented levels of stimulus. To get out of the Great Recession, and more recently to boost the economy following the COVID-19 pandemic, the government pumps more money into the system. Even in seemingly solid economic times, the debt and money supply expand. More fiat currency chasing a fixed amount of Bitcoin supports a much higher price for the digital asset years and decades from now. Should you invest $1,000 in Bitcoin right now? Before you buy stock in Bitcoin, consider this: The Motley Fool Stock Advisor analyst team just identified what they believe are the 10 best stocks for investors to buy now… and Bitcoin wasn't one of them. The 10 stocks that made the cut could produce monster returns in the coming years. Consider when Netflix made this list on December 17, 2004... if you invested $1,000 at the time of our recommendation, you'd have $668,155!* Or when Nvidia made this list on April 15, 2005... if you invested $1,000 at the time of our recommendation, you'd have $1,106,071!* Now, it's worth noting Stock Advisor's total average return is 1,070% — a market-crushing outperformance compared to 184% for the S&P 500.

2 Top Dividend Stocks Duke It Out. Which Is Better?
Key Points On top of its regular dividend, Costco also occasionally pays out a much bigger special dividend. Both companies increased their dividend this year. Valuation is ultimately what makes one stock a better buy than the other. 10 stocks we like better than Alphabet › When investors think about dividend stocks, they usually start with high-yielding names. Utilities, telecoms, and big consumer staples often dominate the conversation. But sometimes the best dividend opportunities come from companies with low payouts. That's where membership-based wholesale retailer Costco (NASDAQ: COST) and Google parent Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOG)(NASDAQ: GOOGL) come in. Both yield less than 1%, making them easy to dismiss for income. Yet, both are outstanding businesses with excellent dividend growth prospects. Costco, specifically, delivers incredible stability and even pays occasional special dividends on top of its regular dividend. Meanwhile, Alphabet has a brand-new payout and is one of the cheapest valuations among big tech. But which one of these two dividend growth stocks edges out the other when compared head-to-head? Costco: Dependable income at a high price Costco has a reputation for consistency, and its dividend reflects that. The company's payout is below 30%, leaving plenty of room for business reinvestment and steady dividend increases over time. Additionally, Costco has increased its dividend every year for more than two decades, with an annual growth rate of around 13% in recent years. The latest raise came this spring, when management boosted the quarterly dividend to $1.30. That puts the annual payout at $5.20 and the dividend yield at roughly 0.5%. Notably, Costco offers more than just its regular dividend. From time to time, the company pays special dividends, too. In early 2024, for instance, shareholders received a $15 special dividend. These extra payouts can make a big difference for long-term holders, even though they come only occasionally. The issue with Costco, however, is the stock's valuation. Shares trade at more than 50 times earnings, a very high multiple for a stock that grew its sales and earnings per share 8% and 13%, respectively, in its most recent quarter. That premium reflects both the quality of the business and investors' willingness to pay up for its reliability. But such a lofty valuation leaves little margin for error. Even though sales and earnings continue to grow at a healthy pace, today's stock price already bakes in years of strong performance. Investors buying now should expect modest returns from here unless Costco delivers upside surprises. Alphabet: Small yield, big upside Alphabet only started paying a dividend in 2024, so it doesn't have Costco's long track record. The payout is small, with an annual dividend of $0.84 per share and a yield of around 0.4%. But the payout ratio is less than 10%. That leaves huge room for growth if management decides to raise the dividend in future years. The company is also aggressively investing in its business (perhaps explaining why management increased its dividend by only 5% this year). Capital expenditures are surging as Alphabet builds out its artificial intelligence (AI) and cloud infrastructure. Sure, this has weighed on free cash flow in the short term. But investors should remember that these investments are aimed at capturing long-term growth opportunities. Making the case for Alphabet stock even stronger, the internet search and cloud computing company's growth story benefits from a diversified set of key revenue sources -- and they're all doing well. Alphabet's advertising business remains strong, YouTube continues to expand, and Google Cloud is gaining ground. Unlike Costco, valuation is a bright spot for Alphabet. Shares trade at about 21 times forward earnings -- a much lower multiple than tech peers like Microsoft and Meta and far below Costco. That's unusual for a company still posting strong double-digit growth in both revenue and profits. Revenue and operating income both increased 14% year over year in the company's second quarter of 2025. With earnings growth like this, Alphabet could ramp up its dividend in a big way down the road (though it might have to get through a period of high capital expenditures first as it invests aggressively in growth). A clear winner Costco and Alphabet may both look like low-yield stocks, but they represent two very different kinds of dividend investments. Costco is the steady option. It offers a safe payout, regular increases, and the occasional special dividend. But investors pay a steep price for that safety, which limits future returns. Alphabet, by contrast, has only just begun rewarding shareholders with dividends. The yield is tiny but could grow substantially over time. More importantly, the tech stock's valuation is much cheaper than Costco's. For investors willing to accept a small payout today in exchange for better long-term potential, Alphabet is the clear winner. Should you invest $1,000 in Alphabet right now? Before you buy stock in Alphabet, consider this: The Motley Fool Stock Advisor analyst team just identified what they believe are the 10 best stocks for investors to buy now… and Alphabet wasn't one of them.
