The net asset value (NAV) of a closed-end fund is the market
value of the underlying investments (i.e., stocks and bonds) in the
Fund's portfolio, minus liabilities, divided by the total number of
Fund shares outstanding. However, the Fund also has a market price;
the value at which it trades on an exchange. If the market price is
above the NAV the Fund is trading at a premium. If the market price
is below the NAV the Fund is trading at a discount.
Performance returns for the Fund are total returns, which
includes dividends, and are net of management fees and other Fund
expenses. Returns are calculated assuming that a shareholder
reinvested all distributions. Past performance cannot predict
future investment results.
Performance will fluctuate with changes in market conditions.
Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance
data shown. Performance information shown does not reflect the
deduction of taxes that shareholders would pay on Fund
distributions or the sale of Fund shares. Shareholders must be
willing to tolerate significant fluctuations in the value of their
investment. An investment in the Fund involves risk, including loss
of principal.
Sources of distributions to shareholders may include ordinary
dividends, long-term capital gains and return of
capital. The final determination of the source of all
distributions in 2020 for tax reporting purposes will be made after
year end. The actual amounts and sources of the amounts for
tax reporting purposes will depend upon the Fund's investment
experience during its fiscal year and may be subject to changes
based on tax regulations. Based on current estimates no portion of
the distributions consists of a return of capital. These estimates
may not match the final tax characterization (for the full year's
distributions) contained in shareholder 1099-DIV forms after the
end of the
year.
All data is as of January 31, 2020
unless otherwise noted.
