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.
