UTF actually did reduce its distribution in 2009. UTG, DNP, PCN, BME, and GOF are the only CEFs whose distributions survived the financial crisis without being reduced.
And, yes, interest is always counted as an expense, but so long as the interest owed on debt is less than the returns on the assets bought with the borrowed money, leverage's effect on NAV is at least neutral. Management fees, on the other hand, are a much more direct drag on performance. That's why we'd recommend excluding leverage when comparing expense ratios between funds.
