Past performance is no guarantee of future results. An investment in the Fund involves risk, including loss of principal. Investment return and the value of shares will fluctuate.

 

This information is unaudited and is intended for informational purposes only.

 

The primary objective of the Fund is to seek total return comprised of capital appreciation, current income and gains. The Fund's Equity Component will ordinarily consist of common stocks, but may also include other types of equity securities, including preferred stocks, depository receipts, rights and warrants. The Fund may invest in securities of companies with any size market capitalization, but ordinarily expects to focus its equity investments in companies with market capitalizations of $3 billion or more at the time of investment. The Fund may purchase securities in initial public offerings ({IPOs).

 

The Fund's Convertible Component will ordinarily consist principally of income-producing convertible securities, including bonds, debentures, notes, preferred stocks, and other securities or investments that may be converted or exchanged (by the holder or issuer) into equity securities of the issuer (or cash or securities of equivalent value), as well as synthetic convertible securities. Investing in convertible securities may entail risk. The Funds that invest in convertibles may have to convert the securities before they would otherwise, which may have an adverse effect on the Fund's ability to achieve its investment objective. The Convertible Component may include convertible and other debt securities that are of below investment grade quality. High-yield bonds typically have a lower credit rating than other bonds. Lower rated bonds generally involve a greater risk to principal than higher rated bonds.

 

The Fund will ordinarily invest principally in securities of U.S. issuers. The Fund may invest without limit in securities of non-U.S. issuers that trade on U.S. securities markets, such as American Depository Receipts ({ADRs). Up to 20% of the Fund's total assets may be invested in other non-U.S. equity and debt securities, including securities of issuers that are organized or headquartered in developing or {emerging market countries. Investing in non-U.S. securities entails additional risks, including political and economic risk and the risk of currency fluctuations; these risks may be enhanced in emerging markets.

 

The Fund will employ its Option Strategy by writing (selling) call options on stocks held in the Equity Component. The Fund may also utilize other derivative strategies involving call and put options, futures and forward contracts, swap agreements, short sales and other derivative instruments for investment purposes or in an attempt to hedge against market and other risks in the portfolio. Use of derivative instruments may involve certain costs and risks such as liquidity risk, interest rate risk, market risk, credit risk, management risk and the risk that a fund could not close out a position when it would be most advantageous to do so. Portfolios investing in derivatives could lose more than the principal amount invested in these instruments.

 

Returns are calculated by subtracting the value of a share at the beginning of the period from the value at the end and dividing the difference by the initial value, expressing the result as a percent change. The calculation assumes that all distributions during the period have been reinvested on the payable dates, at NAV or at market price according to how the returns are labeled. The returns do not reflect broker sales charges or commissions. Net asset value (NAV) is total assets less total liabilities divided by the number of shares outstanding.

 

Dividend Yield (Market) is calculated by annualizing the most recent regular distribution per share and dividing by the closing market price listed above. The Fund's distributions may be comprised of ordinary income, net capital gains, return of capital or a combination thereof. Distribution rates on Fund common shares are subject to change and are not a quotation of fund performance. Please refer to the most recent Section 19 Notice, if applicable, for additional information regarding the composition of distributions.

 

The Funds are closed-end exchange traded investment companies. The material on this website is presented only to provide information and is not intended for trading purposes. Closed-end funds, unlike open-end funds, are not continuously offered. After the initial public offering, shares are sold on the open market through a stock exchange. Investment policies, management fees and other matters of interest to prospective investors may be found in each closed-end fund prospectus. For additional information, please contact your financial advisor.
