Baron Funds - Estimated December 2025 Per Share Distribution Amount
Please see below for the preliminary year-end distribution estimates to be paid in December 2025 for the Baron Funds.
These estimates were prepared using income and capital gain amounts through October 9, 2025. The estimates reflect undistributed income and net capital gains, and may not include all tax adjustments. The distribution amounts provided may change, perhaps significantly, due to the following reasons:
- The Funds are required to distribute net capital gains recognized through October 31, 2025. As the estimates were prepared with information through October 9, 2025, additional net capital gains and losses realized through October 31, 2025 may impact the final distribution amounts.
- The Funds are required to distribute net investment income earned through December 31, 2025. As the estimates were prepared with information through October 9, 2025, additional net investment income/losses through December 31, 2025 may impact the final distribution amounts.
- The total number of shares that will receive the distributions may change by the respective distribution dates, perhaps significantly.
Distributions will not be considered final until declaration on the ex-dividend dates.
Please note that for Baron Funds that have invested in real estate investment trusts (REITs) and publicly traded partnerships during the current tax year, a portion of the income distributions may be recharacterized as return of capital or as capital gain distributions. Information to properly reflect the impact of these recharacterizations will not be available until early 2026.
