Shares of closed-end funds often trade at a discount from their
net asset value. The market price of Fund shares may vary from net
asset value based on factors affecting the supply and demand for
shares, such as Fund distribution rates relative to similar
investments, investors' expectations for future distribution
changes, the clarity of a Fund's investment strategy and future
return expectations, and investors' confidence in the underlying
markets in which the Fund invests. Fund shares are subject to
investment risk, including possible loss of principal invested.
Each Fund is not a complete investment program and you may lose
money investing therein. An investment in a Fund may not be
appropriate for all investors. Before investing, prospective
investors should consider carefully a Fund's investment objective,
strategies, risks, charges and expenses.
