(c) | Total investment return is calculated assuming a purchase of common shares on the opening of the first day and a sale on the closing of the last day of the period reported. Dividends and distributions are assumed, for purposes of this calculation, to be reinvested at prices obtained under the Funds dividend reinvestment plan. Total return is not annualized for periods less than one year. Brokerage commissions are not reflected. NAV per share is determined by dividing the value of the Funds portfolio securities, cash and other assets, less all liabilities, by the total number of common shares outstanding. The common share market price is the price the market is willing to pay for shares of the Fund at a given time. Common share market price is influenced by a range of factors, including supply and demand and market conditions. | |
(d) | Annualized for periods less than one year. | |
(e) | Does not reflect the effect of dividend payments to Preferred Shareholders. | |
(f) | Calculated by subtracting the Funds total liabilities (not including Preferred Shares) from the Funds total assets and dividing this by the number of Preferred Shares outstanding. |

| Defined Asset Pool Allows Efficient Portfolio ManagementAlthough closed-end fund shares trade actively on a securities exchange, this doesnt affect the closed-end fund manager because there are no new investors buying into or selling out of the funds portfolio. | |
| More Flexibility in the Timing and Price of TradesInvestors can purchase and sell shares of closed-end funds throughout the trading day, just like the shares of other publicly traded securities. | |
| Lower Expense RatiosThe expense ratios of closed-end funds are oftentimes less than those of mutual funds. Over time, a lower expense ratio could enhance investment performance. | |
| Closed-End Structure Makes Sense for Less-Liquid Asset ClassesA closed-end structure makes sense for investors considering less-liquid asset classes, such as high-yield bonds or micro-cap stocks. | |
| Ability to Put Leverage to WorkClosed-end funds may issue senior securities (such as preferred stock or debentures) or borrow money to leverage their investment positions. | |

| Leveraging the portfolio allows the investment team to potentially enhance the income and total returns of the Fund. | |
| In a rising-rate environment, the cost of leverage typically increases. To protect against increases, the investment team has locked in the cost of leverage for a longer term. In leveraged closed-end funds that invest in interest-rate sensitive securities (high-quality traditional fixed income), rising rates can negatively impact a fund in two ways: increasing the cost of leverage and decreasing the value of securities. | |
| This portfolio does not have notable sensitivity to rising interest rates. Much of the cost of leverage has been locked in, and the portfolio seeks to invest in securities that should be more economically sensitive and less interest rate-sensitive. |
