U.S. Global Investors Continues GROW Dividends and Shares Benefits of Mutual Fund Tax Exempt Dividends as Taxes Could Be Set to Rise

San Antonio, TX, March 10, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- U.S. Global Investors, Inc. (NASDAQ: GROW) (the “Company”), a boutique registered investment advisory firm with longstanding experience in global markets and specialized sectors, will continue its payment of monthly dividends for the fourth fiscal quarter of 2023.

The Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) approved payment of the $0.0075 per share per month dividend beginning in April 2023 and continuing through June 2023. The record dates are April 10, May 8 and June 12, and the payment dates will be April 24, May 22 and June 26.

“Please also keep in mind that two of our mutual funds, the Near-Term Tax Free Fund (NEARX) and U.S. Government Securities Ultra-Short Bond Fund (UGSDX), currently pay monthly dividends as well,” says Frank Holmes, the Company’s CEO and Chief Investment Officer. “Because it invests in municipal bonds, NEARX provides tax-free income at the federal and often state and local levels, which I believe is particularly attractive now as President Joe Biden seeks to raise income taxes on top earners.”

At the end of this period, the Company will have paid monthly GROW dividends for more than 13 years. The continuation of future cash dividends will be determined by the Board, at its sole discretion, after review of the Company's financial performance and other factors, and is dependent on earnings, operations, capital requirements, general financial condition of the Company and general business conditions.

Mutual fund investing involves risk. Principal loss is possible. Bond funds are subject to interest-rate risk; their value declines as interest rates rise. Though the Near-Term Tax Free Fund seeks minimal fluctuations in share price, it is subject to the risk that the credit quality of a portfolio holding could decline, as well as risk related to changes in the economic conditions of a state, region or issuer. These risks could cause the fund’s share price to decline. Tax-exempt income is federal income tax free. A portion of this income may be subject to state and local taxes and at times the alternative minimum tax. The Near-Term Tax Free Fund may invest up to 20% of its assets in securities that pay taxable interest. Income or fund distributions attributable to capital gains are usually subject to both state and federal income taxes.

There is no guarantee that the issuers of any securities will declare dividends in the future or that, if declared, will remain at current levels or increase over time.
