Allspring Utilities and High Income Fund Issues Notice Regarding Return of Capital Distributions
Allspring Utilities and High Income Fund (ERH) has issued a formal notice to shareholders regarding the composition of its monthly distributions. The fund estimates that it has distributed amounts exceeding its net investment income and realized capital gains, meaning a significant portion of recent distributions may be classified as a return of capital. As of October 31, 2026, approximately 99.10% of the current month's distribution per share was estimated to be paid-in capital. For the fiscal year to date, the fund reports that 84.50% of distributions have been sourced from paid-in capital. The fund emphasizes that these distributions are part of a managed distribution plan and should not be interpreted as a measure of investment performance or actual yield.
