CHART DEFINITIONS:

Income-oriented closed-end funds make payouts largely from interest and dividends.

Income and capital appreciation funds seek regular cash flow made up of interest and dividends, with the remainder from capital appreciation or, if necessary, return of capital.

Capital appreciation and income closed-end funds seek cash flow mainly from capital appreciation.

Single-asset-class funds invest primarily in one asset class, which can be used as components in a well-diversified income portfolio.

Pre-packaged combinations are funds featuring multiple asset types, which are designed to work together to diversify fund cash flow risks.
