How the business works
Stock dividends after expenses contribute to net investment income. Realized gains, losses and changing stock values affect net asset value separately; the managed payment is not itself an earnings measure.
Extras are shown separately and are not assumed to repeat.

Reported earnings and sources
Reported earnings for the latest four periods. Compare the same earnings measure across periods; different measures are not added together.
Cash distributions are the total paid per share during each reporting period, including any gains or return of capital. Period lengths may differ, so compare the dates before comparing amounts. Short periods are not annualized.
NAV change excludes distributions. Reported NAV total return includes reinvestment and is copied from the fund statement, not estimated by adding cash distributions to the NAV change.
Why the annual trend is limited
The history includes rights offerings, which can change NAV per share independently of investment returns. The chart keeps the observations separate across these changes.
Dividends received after fund expenses help explain recurring income. Realized gains and return of capital are separate sources of distributions.
Watch dividend changes in the holdings and NAV over time. A high distribution rate does not guarantee stable capital.
Income and distributions
Income and cash distributions per share for the same dated periods. Shorter periods are kept separate and are not annualized. Dividends received after fund expenses help explain recurring income. Realized gains and return of capital are separate sources of distributions.
Fund net investment income per common share; actual reporting period, not annualized$0.0000
$0.00$0.00
For the six months ended June 30, 2026, CLM reported about zero net investment income and $0.73 of distributions per share. Net asset value fell from $6.73 to $6.44. The payment therefore needs the full investment result and its reported components, with close attention to the capital value that remains.
Portfolio dividends and interest, realized investment results and any option activity contribute to distribution resources after expenses. A declared distribution can include gains or return of capital as well as investment income; its amount is not an earnings figure.
The earnings available to shareholders depend on the cash generated by these activities after operating and financing costs. Portfolio gains, financing proceeds and recurring income should be evaluated separately.
Cornerstone Strategic Investment Fund, Inc. reported $0.0000 per share for 2026-01-01 through 2026-06-30, measured as Fund net investment income per common share; actual reporting period, not annualized.
Actual per-share reporting period, without annualisation. Net investment income, realized gains, unrealized changes and cash distributions are different measures. This comparison is not the Fly High forward Dividend Coverage Ratio.
Losses or weaker cash generation in equity investments can reduce the resources available for future distributions.
Watch for changes in the underlying exposure and the next reported results before treating the current payment as evidence of continuing earnings support.
A maintained payment can exceed investment results. Review NAV and reported income together rather than treating distribution yield as total return.
