Managed Distribution Policy: This fund has adopted a Managed Distribution Policy, designed to provide attractive, quarterly distributions throughout the course of the year. Under this policy, the fund seeks to maintain a stable quarterly distribution amount (in cents per common share), comprised of payments received from portfolio companies, as well as net realized fund portfolio capital gains and, if necessary, a return of capital (representing in some cases net unrealized capital gains). The fund will determine the tax characteristics of all fund distributions after the end of the calendar year and will provide shareholders such information at that time.

RISKS
Investment and Market RiskAn investment in the fund's common shares is subject to investment risk, including the possible loss of the entire principal amount that you invest. Your investment in common shares represents an indirect investment in the securities owned by the fund, most of which are traded on a national securities exchange or in the over-the-counter markets. The value of these securities, like other market investments, may move up or down, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably. Your common shares at any point in time may be worth less than your original investment, even after considering the reinvestment of fund dividends and distributions. Closed-end funds also carry price risk, or the risk that shares may trade at prices different from their net asset values.Real Estate RisksThe fund may invest in various types of securities issued by REITs. As a result, your investment in the fund is linked to the performance of the commercial real estate markets. Property values may fall due to increasing vacancies or declining rents resulting from economic, legal, or cultural developments. REIT prices also may drop because of the failure of borrowers to pay their loans or poor management. There are special risks associated with particular sectors of real estate investments such as retail properties, community centers, office and industrial properties, hotel properties, healthcare properties, multifamily properties and self-storage properties.
