Exhibit 99.1
Destra Multi-Alternative Fund Shareholders Approve Proxy Proposal with 79% Affirmative Vote
Bozeman, MT — December 18, 2025 — Destra Multi-Alternative Fund (NYSE: DMA) today announced that shareholders have approved the proposal presented at the Fund’s Special Meeting of Shareholders, with approximately 79% of votes cast in favor of the proposal.
The approved proposal revises the Fund’s fundamental policy regarding industry concentration, removing the requirement that the Fund invest more than 25% of its net assets in securities of companies within the real estate industry. The change provides the Fund with increased flexibility to pursue attractive investment opportunities while continuing to seek the Fund’s long-term investment objectives.
The proposal was unanimously recommended by the Fund’s Board of Trustees and was presented to shareholders at a Special Meeting held on December 18, 2025. Approval required the affirmative vote of a majority of the Fund’s outstanding voting securities, in accordance with the Investment Company Act of 1940. The final voting results exceeded this threshold, reflecting strong shareholder support for the Board’s recommendation.
Following shareholder approval, the revised fundamental concentration policy will take effect, and the Fund will no longer be required, under normal circumstances, to maintain a concentration in real estate-related investments.
“With the passage of the proxy proposal, we can direct the portfolio to the best opportunities regardless of asset class. Given our current relative assessment of real estate opportunities, we intend to transition a meaningful portion of this exposure into liquid hedged strategies, utilizing our Validex Dynamic Alpha process” said Mark Scalzo, Portfolio Manager and CIO of Validex Global Investing, the Fund’s Sub-Adviser.”
Additional details regarding the proposal and the Special Meeting are available in the Fund’s definitive proxy materials.
