than its income and net-realized capital gains in the current fiscal year; therefore, a portion of your distribution may be a return of capital. A return of capital may occur, for example, when some or all of the shareholder\u2019s investment is paid back to the shareholder. A return of capital distribution does not necessarily reflect the Trust\u2019s investment performance and should not be confused with \u2018yield\u2019 or \u2018income\u2019. When distributions exceed total return performance, the difference will reduce the Trust\u2019s net asset value per share.\n<\/p>\n<p><b>The amounts and sources of distributions reported are only estimates and are not provided for tax reporting purposes. The actual amounts and sources of the amounts for tax reporting purposes will depend upon the Trust\u2019s investment experience during the remainder of its fiscal year and may be subject to changes based on tax regulations. The Trust will send you a Form 1099-DIV for the calendar year that will tell you how to report these distributions for federal income tax purposes.<\/b><\/p>\n<table cellspacing=\"0\" class=\"bwtablemarginb bwblockalignl\">\n<tr>\n<td colspan=\"4\" class=\"bwvertalignb bwpadl0 bwsinglebottom\" rowspan=\"1\">\n<p class=\"bwcellpmargin\"><b>Trust Performance and Distribution Rate Information:<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td colspan=\"2\" class=\"bwvertalignb bwpadl0 bwsinglebottom\" rowspan=\"1\">\n<p class=\"bwcellpmargin\">\n\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"bwsinglebottom bwleftsingle bwrightsingle bwpadl0 bwalignc\" rowspan=\"1\" colspan=\"1\">\n<p class=\"bwalignc bwcellpmargin\">\nTrust\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td class=\"bwsinglebottom bwrightsingle bwpadl0 bwalignc\" rowspan=\"1\" colspan=\"1\">\n<p class=\"bwalignc bwcellpmargin\">\nAverage annual total return (in relation to NAV) for the 5-year period ending on 10\/31\/2020\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td class=\"bwsinglebottom bwrightsingle bwpadl0 bwalignc\" rowspan=\"1\" colspan=\"1\">\n<p class=\"bwalignc bwcellpmargin\">\nAnnualized current distribution rate expressed as a percentage of NAV as of 10\/31\/2020\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td colspan=\"2\" class=\"bwsinglebottom bwrightsingle bwpadl0\" rowspan=\"1\">\n<p class=\"bwalignc bwcellpmargin\">\nCumulative total return (in relation to NAV) for the fiscal year through 10\/31\/2020\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td class=\"bwsinglebottom bwrightsingle bwpadl0 bwalignc\" rowspan=\"1\" colspan=\"1\">\n<p class=\"bwalignc bwcellpmargin\">\nCumulative fiscal year distributions as a percentage of NAV as of 10\/31\/2020\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"bwsinglebottom bwleftsingle bwrightsingle bwpadl0 bwalignc\" rowspan=\"1\" colspan=\"1\">\n<p class=\"bwalignc bwcellpmargin\">\nBCAT*\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td class=\"bwsinglebottom bwrightsingle bwpadl0 bwpadr0 bwvertalignb bwalignc\" rowspan=\"1\" colspan=\"1\">\n<p class=\"bwcellpmargin bwalignc\">\n-1.50%\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td class=\"bwsinglebottom bwrightsingle bwpadl0 bwpadr0 bwvertalignb bwalignc\" rowspan=\"1\" colspan=\"1\">\n<p class=\"bwcellpmargin bwalignc\">\n6.34%\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td colspan=\"2\" class=\"bwsinglebottom bwrightsingle bwpadl0 bwpadr0 bwvertalignb bwalignc\" rowspan=\"1\">\n<p class=\"bwcellpmargin bwalignc\">\n-1.50%\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td class=\"bwsinglebottom bwrightsingle bwpadl0 bwpadr0 bwvertalignb bwalignc\" rowspan=\"1\" colspan=\"1\">\n<p class=\"bwcellpmargin bwalignc\">\n&#8211;\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"bwpadl0\" rowspan=\"1\" colspan=\"1\" \/>\n<td class=\"bwpadl0\" rowspan=\"1\" colspan=\"1\" \/>\n<td class=\"bwpadl0\" rowspan=\"1\" colspan=\"1\" \/>\n<td class=\"bwpadl0\" rowspan=\"1\" colspan=\"1\" \/>\n<td class=\"bwpadl0\" rowspan=\"1\" colspan=\"1\" \/>\n<td class=\"bwpadl0\" rowspan=\"1\" colspan=\"1\">\u00a0<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<p>\n*The Trust launched within the past 5 years; the performance and distribution rate information presented reflects data from inception to 10\/31\/2020.\n<\/p>\n<p><b>Shareholders should not draw any conclusions about the Trust\u2019s investment performance from the amount of the Trust\u2019s current distributions or from the terms of the Plan.<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>The amount distributed per share under the Plan is subject to change at the discretion of the Trust\u2019s Board.<\/b> The Plan will be subject to ongoing review by the Board to determine whether the Plan should be continued, modified or terminated.
