    BTO is not an income fund despite its 7%+ yield; it is a capital-cycle strategy that distributes realized gains from regional bank equities. The portfolio is almost entirely regional and community banks, with small position sizes and active rotation designed to monetize valuation dispersion and M&A events. Distributions are funded primarily by capital gains, not net investment income, making NAV growth and realization activity the key sustainability drivers.
