John Hancock Tax-Advantaged Dividend Income Fund (NYSE: HTD), a closed-end fund managed by John Hancock Investment Management LLC and subadvised by Manulife Investment Management (US) LLC, paid a September 2026 distribution of $0.1580 per share to shareholders of record as of September 11. The distribution was declared on September 1 and paid on September 30 under the fund's managed distribution plan. For the month, the fund estimated that $0.1502 per share, or 95%, came from net investment income and $0.0078, or 5%, from net realized long-term capital gains. No amount was attributed to net realized short-term capital gains. Fiscal year to date through September 30, cumulative distributions totaled $1.7380 per share, comprising $1.2319, or 71%, from net investment income and $0.5061, or 29%, from net realized long-term capital gains. The fund said it estimates that it has distributed more than its income and net realized capital gains, meaning part of the distribution may represent a return of capital (money returned from an investment). The reported amounts are estimates for shareholder information, not tax reporting, and may change based on the fund's investment experience through the end of its fiscal year and applicable tax rules. The fund will issue Form 1099-DIV for calendar-year tax reporting. The fixed monthly distribution of $0.1580 per share is scheduled to continue until further notice. The notice was issued as required by an exemptive order from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (U.S. securities regulator).
