FUND OVERVIEW

The Fund seeks long term capital appreciation and current income through investment in equity and fixed income US securities.

BIFJUN 2020

MANAGER COMMENTARY

The quarter ended June 30, 2020 was a positive quarter for the S&P 500 Index. The S&P 500 Index experienced its best quarterly performance since 1998. Even so, it still was not enough to completely recover from the losses in the first quarter of 2020. Boulder Growth & Income Fund, Inc. (the “Fund” or “BIF”) lagged in performance in its net asset value (“NAV”) this quarter on absolute and relative basis versus the S&P 500 Index, DJIA, NASDAQ Composite, and Large Value benchmarks. The underperformance is partially attributable to the underperformance of Berkshire Hathaway, Inc. (BRK/A & BRK/B) and Wells Fargo & Co (WFC) during the quarter. This was partially offset by the outperformance of Yum! Brands Inc. (YUM) and Cisco Systems Inc. (CSCO) during the quarter.

At quarter end, the asset allocation of the Fund was approximately 81.2% equity, 14.9% cash and cash equivalents and 3.9% other assets. The majority of the “other assets” is a holding in another registered investment company that primarily invests in equities. The top 10 holdings made up 76.3% of the Fund’s total assets. The Fund remains highly concentrated.

During the quarter, the Fund repurchased shares to take advantage of the wide discount to NAV and relatively low market price of BIF shares. The Fund repurchased and retired 2,020,790 shares of BIF during the quarter at a weighted average price paid of $9.35 per share.

DISTRIBUTION DETAILS

Current Dividend Rate Per Share $0.102

Distribution Rate* 4.33%

* Based on 6/30/2020 market price of $9.42 and most current dividend rate per share of $0.102.

Distributions are paid from ordinary income; net realized short-term capital gains; net realized long-term capital gains; and return of capital, or some combination of the aforementioned. Based on current estimates, we anticipate the current distribution has been paid from ordinary income, short-term capital gains and long-term capital gains. The actual amounts and sources of the amounts for tax reporting purposes will depend upon the Fund’s investment experience during the remainder of its fiscal year and may be subject to changes based on tax regulations. If a distribution includes anything other than net investment income, the Fund provides a Section 19(a) notice of the best estimate of its distribution sources at that time. These estimates may not match the final tax characterization (for the full year’s distributions) contained in shareholders’ 1099-DIV forms after the end of the year. The annualized distribution rate is the monthly per share distribution times 12, divided by the end-of-month market price.
