These closed-end funds are no longer available in initial
public offerings and are only offered through broker-dealers on the
secondary market. A closed-end fund is not required to buy its
shares back from investors upon request. Shares of a fund may trade
at either a premium or discount relative to the fund’s net asset
value, and there can be no assurance that any discount will
decrease. The values of, and/or the income generated by, securities
held by a fund may decline due to general market conditions or
other factors, including those directly involving the issuers of
such securities. Equity securities fluctuate in value in response
to factors specific to the issuer of the security. Debt securities
are subject to credit risk and interest rate risk, and high-yield
securities and unrated securities of similar credit quality have a
much greater risk of default and their values tend to be more
volatile than higher-rated securities with similar maturities.
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. 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.
Each fund is leveraged through a revolving credit facility and also
may incur leverage by issuing preferred shares in the future. The
use of leverage results in certain risks, including, among others,
the likelihood of greater volatility of the 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 closely track. There are
numerous risks associated with transactions in options on
securities.
Wells Fargo Asset Management (WFAM) is the trade name for
certain investment advisory/management firms owned by Wells Fargo
& Company. These firms include but are not limited to Wells
Capital Management Incorporated and Wells Fargo Funds Management,
LLC. Certain products managed by WFAM entities are distributed by
Wells Fargo Funds Distributor, LLC (a broker-dealer and Member
FINRA).
