Best case, if the whole payout is designated as interest-related or short-term-gain dividends and your broker applies the US exemption (IRC 871(k)): 42.64%.

  • Source country assumed: United States (from the issuer’s data). Depositary receipts and companies listed outside their home country may be taxed by that home country.
  • US rate 15 % assumes a W-8BEN form is on file with your broker (US–Cyprus treaty); without it the US withholds 30 %.
  • US funds (ETFs, closed-end funds, BDCs) may designate part of a payout as exempt for non-US investors (IRC 871(k)); whether your broker applies it shows on your Form 1042-S.
  • GeSY 2.65 % applies to dividends and interest of every Cyprus resident, domiciled or not, up to €180,000 of income a year.
  • About 16% of the last year’s distributions were return of capital: not income, so not taxed, but it is your own money coming back and lowers your cost basis. Brokers may withhold on it first and correct later.

Cyprus resident, domiciled: 36.07%

NAV per share trend (3 y)

Where filings give no NAV history, the NAV trend is estimated from the split-adjusted price.

This fund has been paying out more than it earns, so its net asset value per share has been shrinking.

Our rules see a meaningful risk that this dividend is cut.

Serious warning:NAV erosionNet asset value per share falling while distributions exceed net investment income.

What dividend safety is made of

0–100 points: payout versus earnings and cash flow, debt, cut history, growth streak and how stretched the yield looks.

A high yield is not a high return: payouts can come from your own capital and can be cut. Dividend calculator →
