Shareholder-friendly actions have enabled ECAT to generate more return than its peers and comparable benchmark(2)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

ECAT Delivers Superior Returns and Distributions<\/b><\/p>\n

\nECAT has significantly outperformed both its benchmark and peer group since January 2023, delivering an 86% cumulative return on market price compared to 56% for the benchmark and 47% for the peer median. The Fund has distributed $982 million to shareholders since inception, with a distribution rate twice as high as that of peer funds.1<\/sup> ECAT also maintains the lowest discount to net asset value among competitor funds based on 1-year average discount. Performance was driven by board actions, including approving the increase of distributions by 233% since its inception, over $100 million in share repurchases, and approving the implementation of a Discount Management Program.<\/p>\n

Shareholder-friendly actions have enabled ECAT to generate more return than its peers and comparable benchmark2<\/sup><\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n

\n1) Morningstar data as of February 27, 2026. Peer group data reflects the median distributions for the Morningstar Closed-End Tactical Allocation category, excluding BlackRock funds. 93.11% of the distribution rate was from a return of capital. A return of capital distribution may involve a return of the shareholder\u2019s original investment.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

\n2) Benchmark return data reflects the performance of the MSCI World Index (65%) and the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index (35%).<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n
