DENVER, CO / ACCESSWIRE / May 31, 2024 / On May 31, 2024, the Clough Global Dividend and Income Fund (NYSE American:GLV) (the "Fund"), a closed-end fund, paid a monthly distribution on its common stock of $0.0526 per share to shareholders of record at the close of business on May 17, 2024. The following table sets forth the estimated amount of the sources of distribution for purposes of Section 19 of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and the related rules adopted thereunder.

Clough Global Dividend and Income Fund is a high leverage equity CEF managed by Charles I Clough. GLV has underperformed in 2023 due to its high leverage and focus on Large Cap Value stocks, which have been dragged down by the regional banking crisis. The CEF runs an enormous 39% leverage ratio, with a portfolio mostly composed of U.S. equities.

GLV claims to invest in a globally-oriented portfolio of stocks and bonds in order to provide its investors with a high level of total return. Most American investors are far too heavily exposed to the United States, which has serious financial problems that will be a drag on economic performance.
