Fund shares are not guaranteed or endorsed by any bank or other insured depository institution, and are not federally insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Shares of closed-end funds are subject to investment risks, including the possible loss of principal invested. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.
The risks outlined below do not include all the risks pertaining to an investment in this fund. For more detailed information, please contact the Fund Sponsor.
Investment and Market Risk: An investment in common shares is subject to investment risk, including the possible loss of the entire principal amount that you invest. Your investment in common shares represents an indirect investment in the corporate securities owned by the Fund, which generally trade in the over-the-counter markets. Your common shares at any point in time may be worth less than your original investment, even after taking into account the reinvestment of Fund dividends and distributions.
Price Risk: Shares of closed-end investment companies like the Fund frequently trade at a discount to their NAV. Your common shares at any point in time may be worth less than your original investment, even after taking into account the reinvestment of Fund dividends and distributions.
Issuer Credit Risk:
Leverage Risk: Each Fund’s use of leverage creates the possibility of higher volatility for the Fund’s per share NAV, market price, distributions and returns. There is no assurance that a Fund’s leveraging strategy will be successful.
Non-Diversification and Concentration Risk: The Funds are able to invest a greater
portion of their assets in obligations of a single issuer than a “diversified” fund. A
nondiversified fund, or one with a portfolio concentrated in a particular industry or
geographical region, may be affected disproportionately by the performance of a
single security or relatively few securities as a result of adverse economic, regulatory, or
market occurrences.
NOTES
1. Annualized total return is determined by subtracting the initial investments from the redeemable value of the investment at the end of the investment period, dividing the remainder by the initial investment and expressing the result as a percentage. For multiple years, 1 would be added to the results, this number could then be raised to the power of 1/years annualized - 1 to find the result of a multiple year annualized return. The calculation assumes that all income and capital gains distributions by the Fund have been reinvested at net asset value (share price) on the ex dates during the period.
