Paul,
you quoted the figures from LCM, yet another fund and not from AGC. AGC in 2010 had 35% "return of capital"
guggenheimfunds.com

- however for leveraged funds this figure is skewed - as they employ a feature called "capital loss carryforwards" which works similar to NOLs. I concluded that the return of capital DID INCLUDE this NOL like feature, otherwise one coudn't reconcile this with the fact that they did gain NAV almost 8% of NAV over the past year.

This is a plot on their NAV value of AGC for "pseudo ticker" XAGCX (one can produce such a chart with any traded CEV on the market)
finance.yahoo.com

Here is some kind of description on the issue
seekingalpha.com
Here the issue is touched by Cohen & Steers
houlihanrovers.com

For FFC the "return of capital" number was merely 1.3% and for FLC it was zero

However, I am holding both kinds (convertibles and preferred CEVs) for different reeasons. Convertibles mostly for capital gains, preferreds mainly for income.

take care
CROSSY
