FAX reviews its dividend every three months. Next review is mid-June. I expect that they will reduce somewhat the dividend sometime in 2006, to match it with their investment earnings -- they have been paying out capital from capital gains to the tune of around 10%. FAX is great as a US dollar hedge, but one must be sensitive to its NAV. My strategy is to reduce considerably FAX whenever the discount to NAV falls below 3% or so, increase to normal when the discount is in the high single digits and overweigh when the discount goes to double digits. It has worked for a number of years now.
