* Performance has been calculated on a total return basis, which combines principal and dividend income changes for the periods shown. Principal changes are based on the difference between the beginning and closing net asset values for the period and assume reinvestment of all dividends and distributions paid. This data represents past performance and is not indicative of future performance. Source Capital is a closed-end investment company. Its shares are traded on the New York Stock Exchange, and the Company is not involved in these transactions. Thus, your performance will also vary based upon the market price of Source Capital's common stock.
