RiverNorth Opportunities Fund invests tactically in other closed-end funds, ETFs and business development companies. It seeks value when those vehicles trade at discounts, so their underlying assets and market prices both matter.

How the business works
Cash from the holdings becomes fund net investment income after expenses. Changes in the holdings' discounts and values, along with realized trading results, affect net asset value separately.
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 fund changed its financial year-end. The shorter transition period remains in the dated table and is excluded from annual charts. Compare the dates as well as the values.
Income from holdings, investment gains and the fund's expenses each affect what is available for distributions. The mix depends on the portfolio.
Follow cash payments and NAV together. Borrowing and holdings in other funds can add costs and amplify changes in portfolio value.
Income and distributions
Income and cash distributions per share for the same dated periods. Shorter periods are kept separate and are not annualized. Income from holdings, investment gains and the fund's expenses each affect what is available for distributions. The mix depends on the portfolio.
Fund net investment income per common share; actual reporting period, not annualized$0.1300
$0.00$0.20
For the year ended June 30, 2026, RIV reported $0.13 of net investment income and $1.55 of distributions per share. Net asset value fell from $12.51 to $12.06. Ordinary income explains little of the cash, and the lower ending value makes realized results and the underlying funds' payment sources essential to the review.
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.
The portfolio information checked September 11, 2026 reports effective leverage of 26.07%.
Financing can increase earning assets, but its cost reduces income available to common shareholders. When borrowing costs rise or portfolio income falls, the distribution can become harder to sustain.
RiverNorth Opportunities Fund, Inc. reported $0.1300 per share for 2025-07-01 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 closed-end funds, ETFs and BDCs 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.
