* Portfolio holdings and weightings are historical and are
presented here for informational purposes only. They are subject to
change at any time. Negative allocations and allocations in excess
of 100%, if any, are primarily due to the Fund's unsettled trade
activity.
** Credit quality is a measure of a bond issuer's ability to
repay interest and principal in a timely manner. The credit ratings
shown are based on each portfolio security’s rating as provided by
Standard and Poor’s, Moody’s Investors Service and/or Fitch
Ratings, Ltd. and typically range from AAA (highest) to D (lowest),
or an equivalent and/or similar rating. For this purpose, when two
or more of the agencies have assigned differing ratings to a
security, the highest rating is used. Securities that are unrated
by all three agencies are reflected as such. The credit quality of
the investments in the Fund's portfolio does not apply to the
stability or safety of the Fund. These ratings are updated monthly
and may change over time. Please note, the Fund itself has not
been rated by an independent rating agency.
*** The difference between total assets and net assets, if any,
is due primarily to the Fund’s use of borrowings; net assets do not
include borrowings. The Fund may employ leverage in the form of
loans, preferred stock, reverse repurchase agreements and/or other
instruments. When the Fund engages in transactions that have a
leveraging effect on the Fund’s portfolio, the value of the Fund
will be more volatile and all other risks will tend to be
compounded.
**** Percentages are based on total assets. If the Fund employs
leverage, the Effective Duration is based on net assets.
***** Pursuant to its managed distribution policy, the Fund
intends to make regular monthly distributions to shareholders of
its common stock at a fixed rate per common share, which may be
adjusted from time to time by the Fund's Board of Directors. Under
the Fund's managed distribution policy, if, for any monthly
distribution, the value of the Fund’s net investment income and net
realized capital gain is less than the amount of the distribution,
the difference will be distributed from the Fund's assets (and will
constitute a "return of capital"). The Board of Directors may
modify, terminate or suspend the managed distribution policy at any
time, including when certain events would make part of any return
of capital taxable to shareholders. Any such modification,
termination or suspension could have an adverse effect on the
market price for the Fund's shares.
