Germany Funds
New York, May 09, 2005 -- The New Germany Fund, Inc. (GF) announced today that its Board of Directors declared an ordinary income dividend of $0.14 per share payable in cash.
The record date is May 19, 2005 and the payable date is May 27, 2005. The shares will trade "ex-dividend" on May 17, 2005.
The New Germany Fund, Inc. is a non-diversified, closed-end investment company seeking capital appreciation primarily through investment in the Mittelstand - an important group of small and mid-cap German companies. The Fund may invest up to 35% of its assets in large cap German companies, and up to 20% in other Western European companies. Its shares are listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "GF".
The Fund is non-diversified and can take larger positions in fewer companies, increasing its overall risk profile. Investments in securities of foreign issuers present greater risks including currency fluctuations and changes in political/economic conditions. Foreign securities markets generally exhibit greater price volatility and are less liquid than the US markets.
Shares of closed-end funds frequently trade at a discount to net asset value. The price of the Fund's shares is determined by a number of factors, several of which are beyond the control of the Fund. Therefore, the Fund cannot predict whether its shares will trade at, below or above net asset value.
