Performance data shown represents past performance and does not predict or guarantee future results. Current performance may be higher or lower than the data shown. NAV returns are net of fund expenses, and assume reinvestment of distributions. Distribution Rates represent the latest declared regular distribution, annualized, relative to the most recent market price and NAV. Special distributions, including special capital gains distributions, are not included in the calculation. Closed-end fund historical distribution sources have included net investment income, realized gains, and return of capital. It is important to understand these sources, and also the fund’s distribution rate relative to its NAV performance. You should not draw any conclusions about a fund’s past or future investment performance from its current distribution rate.

Important information on risk
Past performance is no guarantee of future results. All investments carry a certain degree of risk, including the possible loss of principal, and there is no assurance that an investment will provide positive performance over any period of time. Certain products and services may not be available to all entities or persons. There is no guarantee that investment objectives will be achieved.
Closed-end funds frequently trade at a discount from net asset value. At any point in time, including when sold, shares may be worth more or less than the purchase price or the net asset value, even after considering the reinvestment of fund distributions. It is important to consider the objectives, risks, charges and expenses of any fund before investing. For this and other information that should be read carefully, please view prospectus or other current fund information provided by the fund’s sponsor.
Leverage typically magnifies the total return of a fund’s portfolio, whether that return is positive or negative, and creates an opportunity for increased common share net income as well as the possibility of higher volatility for the fund's net asset value, market price, distributions and returns. There is no assurance that a fund’s leveraging strategy will be successful.
When evaluating investment choices, investors should be aware that closed-end fund distribution sources have historically included net investment income, realized gains, and return of capital.
