Morgan Stanley India Investment Fund owns shares of Indian companies for long-term growth. Company dividends can bring income, but local stock prices and currencies usually have the larger influence on capital and any variable annual payment.

How the business works
Portfolio dividends after expenses appear in net investment income. Realized gains and changing Indian share values affect net asset value separately; a variable annual distribution is not a steady monthly income stream.
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.
How to read IIF income
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−$0.1200
$-0.20$0.00
For the six months ended June 30, 2026, IIF reported a $0.12 net investment income loss and paid no distributions per share. Net asset value fell from $27.91 to $25.67. There is no same-period cash payment to test; the stock and currency result matters when assessing the period.
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.
Morgan Stanley India Investment Fund, Inc. reported $-0.1200 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 Indian equities, currency and country concentration 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.
Watch for changes in the underlying exposure and the next reported results before treating the current payment as evidence of continuing earnings support.
