The final determination of the source of all dividend
distributions in the current year will be made after year-end. The
actual amounts and sources of the amounts for tax reporting
purposes will depend upon a fund’s investment experience during the
remainder of the fiscal year and may be subject to change based on
tax regulations. Each fund will send shareholders a Form 1099-DIV
for the calendar year that will tell shareholders how to report
these distributions for federal income tax purposes.
These closed-end funds are no longer offered as an initial
public offering, and shares are only offered through broker/dealers
on the secondary market. Unlike an open-end mutual fund, a
closed-end fund offers a fixed number of shares for sale. After the
initial public offering, shares are bought and sold in the
secondary marketplace, and the market price of the shares is
determined by supply and demand, not by net asset value (NAV), and
is often lower than the NAV. A closed-end fund is not required to
buy its shares back from investors upon request.
High-yield, lower-rated bonds may contain more risk due to the
increased possibility of default. Foreign investments may contain
more risk due to the inherent risks associated with changing
political climates, foreign market instability, and foreign
currency fluctuations. Risks of international investing are
magnified in emerging or developing markets. Funds that concentrate
their investments in a single industry or sector may face increased
risk of price fluctuation over more diversified funds due to
adverse developments within that industry or sector. Nondiversified
funds may face increased risk of price fluctuation over more
diversified funds due to adverse developments within certain
sectors. Small- and mid-cap securities may be subject to special
risks associated with narrower product lines and limited financial
resources compared with their large-cap counterparts. The use of
leverage results in certain risks including, among others, the
likelihood of greater volatility of net asset value and the market
price of common shares. Derivatives involve additional risks,
including interest-rate risk, credit risk, the risk of improper
valuation, and the risk of noncorrelation to the relevant
instruments they are designed to hedge or to closely track. There
are numerous risks associated with transactions in options on
securities. Illiquid securities may be subject to wide fluctuations
in market value and may be difficult to sell.
