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.Call Risk or Prepayment RiskDuring periods of declining interest rates or for other purposes, issuers may exercise their option to prepay principal earlier than scheduled, forcing the fund to reinvest in lower-yielding securities. This is known as call or prepayment risk. Credit riskThe risk that a security in the fund's portfolio will decline in price, or fail to make dividend or interest payments when due, because the security's issuer defaults or experiences a decline in its financial status. Securities falling lower in a company's capital structure and/or unrated securities and securities with lower credit ratings are expected to have higher credit risk. See subordination.Interest Rate RiskInterest rate risk is the risk that fixed-income securities such as bonds, preferred, convertible and other debt securities will decline in value because of changes in market interest rates. When market interest rates rise, the market value of such securities generally will fall. Consequently, the net asset value and market price of common shares will tend to decline if market interest rates rise.
