GAMCO Natural Resources, Gold & Income Trust Announces Increased Monthly Distributions
$GNT
The Board of Trustees of GAMCO Natural Resources, Gold & Income Trust (NYSE:GNT) has announced an increase in its monthly cash distributions to shareholders. Starting from July 2025, the Fund will distribute $0.04 per share each month, marking a significant 33% increase from previous distributions.
This adjustment will commence with the October 2024 distribution and continue through September 2025. The specifics of each distribution are detailed to shareholders through regular updates and will be finalized at the year’s end, with precise tax treatments communicated early in 2026.
Additionally, the Fund engages in covered call and other option transactions, which involve distinct risks such as imperfect market correlations and the potential loss of profit opportunities from market value increases of securities above the exercise price of the options.
GAMCO Natural Resources, Gold & Income Trust, managed by Gabelli Funds, LLC—a subsidiary of GAMCO Investors, Inc. (OTCQX:GAMI)—focuses primarily on equity securities of gold and natural resources companies. The Fund aims to generate income mainly through writing covered call options on equity securities in its portfolio. This strategy involves specific risks, including the possibility that market behavior or unforeseen events might render a well-conceived option strategy ineffective.
The Fund boasts $147 million in total net assets and continues to adapt its strategies based on evolving market conditions and the Board’s ongoing assessments. While the increased distributions might appear as a positive development, shareholders are encouraged to consider the underlying risks and the nature of their investment, as market conditions continue to influence the Fund’s performance and the actual benefits of these distributions.
