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 and all primary rights in the Fund's
rights offering were exercised. 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.
All data is as of September 30,
2020 unless otherwise
noted.
