Summary

Guggenheim Investments said certain closed-end funds will pay monthly distributions on August 31, 2026, with both the record date and ex-dividend date set for August 14, 2026. The declared per-share amounts are $0.1172 for Advent Convertible Income Fund, $0.12573 for Guggenheim Taxable Municipal Bond & Investment Grade Debt Trust, $0.1821 for Guggenheim Strategic Opportunities Fund, and $0.11875 for Guggenheim Active Allocation Fund. Guggenheim said a portion of each distribution is estimated to be return of capital (payments sourced from investors' principal rather than current income), with final tax characterization to be determined at year-end through Section 19(a) notices (fund distribution source disclosures). The firm cautioned that investors should not infer investment performance from the distribution amounts or distribution policy and said the payouts may include sources other than ordinary income, including short-term capital gains, long-term capital gains or return of capital.
