RYE, N.Y., Dec. 10, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Gabelli Funds is pleased to present another educational video in The Closed-End Corner, this time examining one of the most contentious issues in Closed-End Funds, Return of Capital, often referred to as “ROC” …and why it might be A Bad Word For A Good Thing for The GAMCO Natural Resources, Gold & Income Trust. (ticker symbol GNT on the NYSE).

“Every adversity, every failure, every heartache carries with it the seed on an equal or greater benefit,” wrote Napoleon Hill, author of the seminal book Think and Grow Rich back in 1937.

David Schachter, Sr. Vice President of the Fund explains the relevance of this quote and points out previous tax-loss carryforwards can benefit the GNT’s distribution as being enhanced by a tax-free return of capital (ROC).

The GAMCO Natural Resources, Gold & Income Trust currently pays $0.04 per month.

Last year, in 2023 GNT’s distribution was 88% tax free for taxable accounts.
