How the business works
The latest filing includes a period before and after the fund's management change. Its income figure is a valid result for that whole reporting period, but a future report will be more informative about the portfolio under its current manager.

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 MGF income
Interest after fund expenses is the main recurring income measure. Compare it with distributions for the same full reporting period.
Watch defaults, interest-rate changes and expenses. Income can hold up while falling bond or loan values reduce NAV.
Income and distributions
Income and cash distributions per share for the same dated periods. Shorter periods are kept separate and are not annualized. Interest after fund expenses is the main recurring income measure. Compare it with distributions for the same full reporting period.
Fund net investment income per common share; actual reporting period, not annualized$0.0500
$0.00$0.10
For the six months ended May 31, 2026, MGF reported $0.05 of net investment income per common share and $0.11 of common distributions. Income covered part of the payment during a manager-transition period; keep the next period distinct rather than implying an unchanged strategy.
Bond interest, less expenses and financing costs, is the central recurring income source. 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.
Aberdeen Government Markets Income Fund reported $0.0500 per share for 2025-12-01 through 2026-05-31, 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 U.S. and international government debt 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.
