FMO Provides Information Regarding Shareholder Compensation Program
18 Mayo 2021 - 4:30PM
The Fiduciary/Claymore Energy Infrastructure Fund (“FMO” or the
“Fund”) and its investment adviser, Guggenheim Funds Investment
Advisors, LLC (“GFIA”), announced today that GFIA has determined to
initiate a Shareholder Compensation Program (the “Program”) in
connection with certain previously disclosed adjustments made to
the Fund’s Net Asset Value (“NAV”). These adjustments arose from
accruals for estimated federal and state income tax expenses
resulting from the application of income tax recapture rules to its
sales of certain master limited partnership (“MLP”) energy
infrastructure investments that occurred in the first and second
quarters of 2020.
GFIA is confident that it has acted diligently and in good faith
in carrying out its duties as adviser to the Fund, including
regular consultation with the Fund’s investment sub-adviser and tax
experts. Nonetheless, GFIA is initiating the Program to compensate
Fund investors who may have suffered cognizable losses, as
determined under applicable law, in connection with the timing of
the recognition of tax matters during the relevant time period. An
investor’s eligibility for compensation under the Program will be
based on whether and when the investor purchased or sold shares of
the Fund during the relevant time period. The Fund will not bear
any of the costs associated with the Program, including the
compensation paid to shareholders thereunder.
GFIA’s decision to offer this compensation is voluntary. It is
not a settlement of a legal action or an admission of any
wrongdoing.
In the coming weeks, a notice of and related information about
the Program (collectively, “Program Documents”) will be mailed to
investors and/or brokers and other intermediaries that hold shares
on behalf of investors who were shareholders of the Fund during the
relevant time period and thus, may be eligible for compensation
under the Program. The Program Documents will contain information
regarding the Program’s eligibility requirements, as well as a
Compensation Request Form that must be completed for the Program’s
claims administrator to determine eligibility.
For additional information regarding the NAV adjustments, please
refer to the Fund’s December 28, 2020 and February 1, 2021 press
releases, each of which is available on the Fund’s website.
More Information About the Fund
The Fund’s investment objective is to provide a high level of
after-tax total return with an emphasis on current distributions
paid to shareholders. Under normal market conditions, the Fund
invests at least 80% of its managed assets in energy infrastructure
MLPs and other energy infrastructure companies (“energy
infrastructure entities”) and invests at least 65% of its managed
assets in equity securities of energy infrastructure entities. A
substantial portion of the energy infrastructure entities in which
the Fund invests are engaged primarily in the energy, natural
resources and real estate sectors.
There can be no assurance that the Fund will achieve its
investment objective. Investments in the Fund involve operating
expenses and fees. The NAV of the Fund will fluctuate with the
value of the underlying securities. It is important to note that
the Fund’s shares, like those of other closed-end funds, trade at
their market value, not NAV, and often trade at a discount to their
NAV.
