BOSTON , Nov. 4, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The Board of Trustees of Liberty All-Star Equity Fund (NYSE: USA) has declared a distribution of $0.18 per share payable on January 2, 2025 to shareholders of record on November 15, 2024. This distribution is in accordance with the Fund's current distribution policy of paying distributions on its shares totaling approximately 10 percent of its net asset value per year, payable in four quarterly installments of 2.5 percent.

Liberty All-Star® Equity Fund Declares Distribution

Liberty All-Star Equity offers a high dividend yield but has consistently underperformed its benchmarks, making its high expense ratio unjustifiable. The fund's complex management structure with multiple managers creates friction and contributes to its poor performance compared to ETFs and other mutual funds. USA's 10% dividend yield is attractive to income investors, but it is primarily funded through share sales, limiting price appreciation.
