the stock exchanges. The investment return and principal value will
fluctuate so that an investor's shares may be worth more or less
than the original cost. Shares of closed-end funds may trade above
(a premium) or below (a discount) the net asset value (NAV) of the
fund's portfolio. There is no assurance that a fund will achieve
its investment objective. Past performance does not guarantee
future results.
Investors should consider a fund's investment objectives,
risks, charges and expenses carefully before investing. A copy of
