The Fund is a closed-end exchange traded investment company. 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 of closed-end funds are sold on the open market through a stock exchange. For additional information, contact your financial advisor or call 1-800-254-5197. Investment policies, management fees and other matters of interest to prospective investors may be found in each closed-end fund prospectus.

It is important to note, that in an environment where interest rates may trend upward, rising rates would negatively impact the performance of most bond funds, and fixed-income securities held by a fund are likely to decrease in value. The price volatility of fixed-income securities can also increase during periods of rising interest rates resulting in increased losses to a fund. Bond funds and individual bonds with a longer duration (a measure of the expected life of a security) tend to be more sensitive to changes in interest rates, usually making them more volatile than securities or funds with shorter durations.

The Fund may be subject to various risks in addition to those described above. Some of these risks may include, but are not limited to, the following: mortgage risk, prepayment risk, real rate risk, real estate risk, derivative risk, smaller company risk, non-U.S. security risk, high yield security risk, leverage risk and specific sector investment risks. The Fund may use derivative instruments for hedging purposes or as part of an investment strategy. Use of these instruments may involve certain costs and risks such as liquidity risk, interest rate risk, market risk, credit risk, management risk, leveraging risk and the risk that the Fund could not close out a position when it would be most advantageous to do so. The Fund’s investments in derivatives could result in losses greater than the principal amount. Investing in non-U.S. securities may entail risk due to non-U.S. economic and political developments; this risk may be enhanced when investing in emerging markets. 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. Smaller companies may be more volatile than larger companies and may entail more risk. Concentrating investments in individual sectors, such as the real estate sector, may add additional risk and volatility compared to a diversified portfolio. The credit quality of a particular security or group of securities does not ensure the stability or safety of the overall portfolio. Shares of this closed-end fund can trade at a discount to their net asset value.
