Abstract: A collective investment vehicle that provides cash distributions. The distributions provide a cash flow to holders of the collective investment vehicle securities, and also allow the value of the collective investment vehicle securities to be reset to a target level. The distributions may be scheduled to occur periodically, or may be based on the occurrence of specific events including company events, economic events, political events, etc. In some embodiments, the funds required for cash distributions are obtained without incurring any capital gains, and the distributions may be treated as a return of capital.
