"We are highly selective. Few companies satisfy the characteristics of durability, competitive moats, growth and attractive prices we demand.

The result: Our portfolios look very different from the index."

Distributions

2025 Distributions as of 01/12/26

This information on 2025 distributions is intended for existing shareholders.

As large shareholders ourselves, we are conscious of tax costs and make every effort to be tax efficient.

Capital gains result from appreciation in the portfolio. The funds’ long-term investment approach means that this appreciation may have occurred over an extended period of time. All gains are long term and generally subject to lower tax rates than short-term gains or dividend income.

Record Date Ex-Date Payable Date Qualified Dividend Percentage Ordinary Income Return of Capital Short-term Capital Gain Long-term Capital Gain Reinvestment Price
6/24/25 6/25/25 6/26/25 100.00% 0.07 - - 0.75 14.02
12/11/25 12/12/25 12/15/25 100.00% 0.07 - - 0.43 15.74

This information on 2025 distributions is intended for existing shareholders. Shareholders should not use this information for tax reporting purposes. Form 1099 will be sent at a later date for all tax reporting.

The table above includes the percentage of 2025 dividend and net short-term capital gain distributions, by fund, that are eligible for reduced tax rates as "qualified dividend income" (QDI). QDI-eligible amounts, including any net short-term capital gains, are reported to shareholders in Box 1b of Form 1099-DIV. For those shareholders who do not receive a Form 1099-DIV, QDI-eligible amounts can be determined by applying the relevant percentages from the table to the dividend and net short-term capital gain distributions shown on the shareholder's 2025 year-end account statement. Individual questions should be referred to your tax advisor.
