Common stock generally represents an equity ownership interest in an issuer, without preference over and with a lower priority than any other class of securities, including such issuer’s debt securities, preferred stock and other senior equity securities. Common stocks usually carry voting rights and earn dividends. Common stocks fluctuate in price in response to many factors including historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of its assets, general economic conditions, interest rates, investor perceptions and market liquidity, as such the company may or may not pay dividends. Dividends on common stocks are declared at the discretion of the company’s board. In addition, common stock generally has the greatest appreciation and depreciation potential because increases and decreases in earnings are usually reflected in a company’s stock price. </div><div style="margin-top:8pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:Gill Sans MT">The Fund implements its Option Strategy by writing (selling) index call options and call options on custom baskets of securities. </div><div style="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:Gill Sans MT">An option contract is a contract that gives the holder of the option, in return for a premium, the right to buy from (in the case of a call) or sell to (in the case of a put) the writer of the option the reference instrument underlying the option (or the cash value of the index) at a specified exercise price at any time during the term of the option. The writer of an option on a security has the obligation upon exercise of the option to deliver the reference instrument (or the cash) upon payment of the exercise price or to pay the exercise price upon delivery of the reference instrument (or the cash). Upon exercise of an index option, the writer of an option on an index is obligated to pay the difference between the cash value of the index and the exercise price multiplied by the specified multiplier for the index option. Options may be “covered,” meaning that the party required to deliver the reference instrument if the option is exercised owns that instrument (or has set aside sufficient assets to meet its obligation to deliver the instrument). Options may be listed on an exchange or traded in the over-the-counter (“OTC”) market. In general, exchange-traded options have standardized exercise prices and expiration dates and may require the parties to post margin against their obligations, and the performance of the parties’ obligations in connection with such options is guaranteed by the exchange or a related clearing corporation. OTC options have more flexible terms negotiated between the buyer and the seller, but generally are subject to counterparty risk. The ability of the Fund to transact business with any one or any number of counterparties, the lack of any independent evaluation of the counterparties or their financial capabilities, and the absence of a regulated market to facilitate settlement, may increase the potential for losses to the Fund. OTC options also involve greater liquidity risk. This risk may be increased in times of financial stress, if the trading market for OTC derivative contracts becomes limited. The staff of the SEC takes the position that certain purchased OTC options, and assets used as cover for certain written OTC options, are illiquid. </div><div style="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:Gill Sans MT">The Fund writes index call options on broad-based indices and may, if the sub-adviser deems conditions appropriate, write call options on a variety of other equity market indices. As the seller of an index call option, the Fund receives a premium from the purchaser. The purchaser of the index call option has the right to any appreciation in the value of the index over the exercise price upon the exercise of the call option or the expiration date. If, at expiration, the purchaser exercises the index option sold by the Fund, the Fund will pay the purchaser the difference between the cash value of the index and the exercise price of the index option. The premium, the exercise price and the market value of the index determine the gain or loss realized by the Fund as the seller of the index call option. </div><div style="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:Gill Sans MT">The Fund may also write call options on custom baskets of securities. A custom basket call option is an OTC option with a counterparty whose value is linked to the market value of a portfolio of underlying securities and is collateralized by a portion of the Fund’s Equity Portfolio. In order to minimize the difference between the returns of the underlying securities in the custom basket (commonly referred to as a tracking error), the sub-adviser will use optimization calculations when selecting the individual securities for inclusion in the custom basket. </div><div style="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:Gill Sans MT">In addition to the use of call options as described above, the Fund may enter into certain derivative instruments in pursuit of its investment objective, including to seek to enhance return, to hedge certain risks of its investments or as a substitute for a position in the underlying asset. Such instruments include options, futures contracts, index futures and total return swaps. In addition, the Fund may invest in other types of derivative instruments that are currently non-principal investments, including forward contracts, interest rate swaps, caps, collars and floors, credit default swaps, and swap options. </div><div style="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:Gill Sans MT">The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements (the purchase of a security coupled with an agreement to resell that security at a higher price) with respect to its permitted investments. The Fund’s repurchase agreements will provide that the value of the collateral underlying the repurchase agreement will always be at least equal to the repurchase price, including any accrued interest earned on the agreement, and will be marked-to-market daily. </div><div style="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:Gill Sans MT">The Fund may invest in illiquid securities (i.e., securities that are not readily marketable), including, but not limited to, restricted securities (securities the disposition of which is restricted under the federal securities laws), securities that may be resold only pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), and repurchase agreements with maturities in excess of seven days. Illiquid securities may also include securities legally restricted as to resale, such as securities issued pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the 1933 Act. </div><div style="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:Gill Sans MT">The Fund may buy and sell securities on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis, making payment or taking delivery at a later date, normally within 15 to 45 days of the trade date. </div><div style="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:Gill Sans MT">The Fund may lend securities representing up to one-third of the value of its total assets to broker-dealers, banks, and other institutions to generate additional income. When the Fund loans its portfolio securities, it will receive, at the inception of each loan, cash collateral equal to at least 102% of the value of the loaned securities. Under the Fund’s securities lending agreement, the securities lending agent will generally bear the risk that a borrower may default on its obligation to return loaned securities. The Fund, however, will be responsible for the risks associated with the investment of cash collateral. The Fund may lose money on its investment of cash collateral or may fail to earn sufficient income on its investment to meet its obligations to the borrower. </div><div style="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:Lucida Sans"><div style="font-style:italic;display:inline;">Use of Leverage </div></div><div style="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:Gill Sans MT">As a non-fundamental policy, the Fund will not leverage its capital structure by issuing “senior securities” (as defined under the 1940 Act) such as the issuance of preferred shares of beneficial interest or debt instruments. The Fund may, however, borrow up to 7.5% of its Managed Assets for cash management purposes. In addition, the Fund may borrow (which may include reverse repurchase agreements) for temporary or emergency purposes, and use certain derivatives and other financing instruments that have the economic effect of leverage by creating additional investment exposures. </div> <div style="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:Lucida Sans"><div style="font-style:italic;display:inline;">Temporary Defensive Periods </div></div><div style="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:Gill Sans MT">During temporary defensive periods the Fund may deviate from its investment objective and policies, and in order to keep the Fund’s cash fully invested, the Fund may invest up to 100% of its Managed Assets in investment grade debt securities, including obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government, its agencies and instrumentalities. The Fund may not achieve its investment objective during such periods. </div> <div style="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:Lucida Sans"><div style="font-style:italic;display:inline;">Use of Leverage </div></div><div style="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:Gill Sans MT">As a non-fundamental policy, the Fund will not leverage its capital structure by issuing “senior securities” (as defined under the 1940 Act) such as the issuance of preferred shares of beneficial interest or debt instruments.

font-size:8pt;display:inline;"><div style="font-style:italic;display:inline;">.</div> As the writer of a call option, the Fund foregoes, during the option’s life, the opportunity to profit from increases in the market value of the instrument underlying the call option above the sum of the premium and the strike price of the option, but will retain the risk of loss should the market value of the instrument underlying the call option decline. The purchaser of the call option has the right to any appreciation in the value of the underlying instrument over the exercise price upon the exercise of the call option or the expiration date. As the Fund increases the option overlay percentage, its ability to benefit from capital appreciation becomes more limited and the risk of NAV erosion increases. If the Fund experiences NAV erosion, which itself may have a negative effect on the market price of the Fund’s shares, the Fund will have a reduced asset base over which to write call options, which may eventually lead to reduced distributions to shareholders. </div></div><div style="margin-top:8pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:Gill Sans MT">In addition, because the exercise of index options is settled in cash, sellers of index call options, such as the Fund, cannot provide in advance for their potential settlement obligations by acquiring and holding the underlying securities. The Fund bears a risk that the value of the securities held by the Fund will vary from the value of the underlying index and relative to the written index call option positions. Accordingly, the Fund may incur losses on the index call options that it has sold that exceed gains on the Fund’s equity portfolio. The value of index options written by the Fund, which will be priced daily, will be affected by changes in the value of and dividend rates of the underlying common stocks in the index, changes in the actual or perceived volatility of the stock market and the remaining time to the options’ expiration. The value of the index options also may be adversely affected if the market for the index options becomes less liquid or smaller. </div><div style="margin-top:8pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:Gill Sans MT"><div style="font-family:Calibri; font-size:9pt;display:inline;"><div style="font-weight:bold;display:inline;">Call Spreads Risk</div></div><div style="font-family:Gill Sans MT; font-size:8pt;display:inline;"><div style="font-style:italic;display:inline;">. </div>A call spread involves the sale of a call option and the corresponding purchase of a call option on the same underlying instrument with the same expiration date but with different strike prices. The Fund may not be able to enter into (or close out of) these transactions, at times or in the quantities desired by the sub-adviser. The Fund also may not be able to enter into (or close out of) these transactions because of, among other things, the lack of market participants that are willing to take contrary positions to that of the Fund. </div></div><div style="margin-top:8pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:Gill Sans MT"><div style="font-family:Calibri; font-size:9pt;display:inline;"><div style="font-weight:bold;display:inline;">Common Stock Risk.</div></div><div style="font-family:Gill Sans MT; font-size:8pt;display:inline;"> Common stocks have experienced significantly more volatility in returns and may significantly underperform relative to fixed-income securities during certain periods. An adverse event, such as an unfavorable earnings report, may depress the value of a particular common stock held by the Fund. Also, the prices of common stocks are sensitive to general movements in the stock market, and a drop in the stock market may depress the price of common stocks to which the Fund has exposure. Common stock prices fluctuate for several reasons, including changes in investors’ perceptions of the financial condition of an issuer, the general condition of the relevant stock market or the current and expected future conditions of the broader economy, or when political or economic events affecting the issuer in particular or the stock market in general occur. In addition, common stock prices may be particularly sensitive to rising interest rates, as the cost of capital rises and borrowing costs increase. </div></div><div style="margin-top:8pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:Gill Sans MT"><div style="font-family:Calibri; font-size:9pt;display:inline;"><div style="font-weight:bold;display:inline;">Concentration Risk. </div></div><div style="font-family:Gill Sans MT; font-size:8pt;display:inline;">The Fund’s investments may be concentrated in issuers of one or a few specific economic sectors, so the Fund may be subject to more risks than if it were broadly diversified across the economy. </div></div><div style="margin-top:8pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:Gill Sans MT"><div style="font-family:Calibri; font-size:9pt;display:inline;"><div style="font-weight:bold;display:inline;">Counterparty Risk. </div></div><div style="font-family:Gill Sans MT; font-size:8pt;display:inline;">The Fund will be subject to credit risk with respect to the counterparties to the derivative transactions entered into by the Fund. Changes in the credit quality of the companies that serve as the Fund’s counterparties with respect to derivatives transactions may affect the value of those instruments. Because certain derivative transactions in which the Fund may engage may be traded between counterparties based on contractual relationships, the Fund is subject to the risk that a counterparty will not perform its obligations under the related contracts. If a counterparty becomes bankrupt or otherwise becomes unable to perform its obligations due to financial difficulties the Fund may sustain losses (including the full amount of its investment), may be unable to liquidate a derivatives position or may experience significant delays in obtaining any recovery in bankruptcy or other reorganization proceedings. By entering into derivatives transactions, the Fund assumes the risk that its counterparties could experience such financial hardships. Although the Fund intends to enter into transactions only with counterparties that the sub-adviser believes to be creditworthy, there can be no assurance that a counterparty will not default and that the Fund will not sustain a loss on a </div></div> <div style="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:Gill Sans MT">transaction. In the event of a counterparty’s bankruptcy or insolvency, any collateral posted by the Fund in connection with a derivatives transaction may be subject to the conflicting claims of that counterparty’s creditors, and the Fund may be exposed to <div style="display:inline;">the </div>risk of a court treating the Fund as a general unsecured creditor of the counterparty, rather than as the owner of the collateral. </div><div style="margin-top:8pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:Gill Sans MT"><div style="font-family:Calibri;display:inline;"><div style="font-weight:bold;display:inline;">Deflation Risk.</div></div><div style="font-family:Gill Sans MT;display:inline;"> Deflation risk is the risk that prices throughout the economy decline over time. Deflation may have an adverse effect on the creditworthiness of issuers and may make issuer default more likely, which may result in a decline in the value of the Fund’s portfolio. </div></div><div style="margin-top:8pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:Gill Sans MT"><div style="font-family:Calibri;display:inline;"><div style="font-weight:bold;display:inline;">Derivatives Risk.</div></div><div style="font-family:Gill Sans MT;display:inline;"> The use of derivatives involves additional risks and transaction costs which could leave the Fund in a worse position than if it had not used these instruments. Derivative instruments can be used to acquire or to transfer the risk and returns of a security or other asset without buying or selling the security or asset. These instruments may entail investment exposures that are greater than their cost would suggest. As a result, a small investment in derivatives can result in losses that greatly exceed the original investment. Derivatives can be highly volatile, illiquid and difficult to value. An over-the-counter derivative transaction between the Fund and a counterparty that is not cleared through a central counterparty also involves the risk that a loss may be sustained as a result of the failure of the counterparty to the contract to make required payments. The payment obligation for a cleared derivative transaction is guaranteed by a central counterparty, which exposes the Fund to the creditworthiness of the central counterparty. The use of certain derivatives involves leverage, which can cause the Fund’s portfolio to be more volatile than if the portfolio had not been leveraged. Leverage can significantly magnify the effect of price movements of the reference asset, disproportionately increasing the Fund’s losses and reducing the Fund’s opportunities for gains when the reference asset changes in unexpected ways. In some instances, such leverage could result in losses that exceed the original amount invested. </div></div><div style="margin-top:8pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:Gill Sans MT">It is possible that regulatory or other developments in the derivatives market, including changes in government regulation could adversely impact the Fund’s ability to invest in certain derivatives successfully use derivative instruments. </div><div style="margin-top:8pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:Gill Sans MT"><div style="font-family:Calibri;display:inline;"><div style="font-weight:bold;display:inline;">Dividend Income Risk</div></div><div style="font-family:Gill Sans MT;display:inline;"><div style="font-style:italic;display:inline;">.</div> A portion of the net investment income paid by the Fund to its shareholders is derived from dividends it receives from the common stocks held in the Fund’s equity portfolio. Dividends paid on securities held by the Fund can vary significantly over the short-term and long-term. Dividends on common stocks are not fixed, but are declared at the discretion of an issuer’s board of directors. There is no guarantee that the issuers of common stocks in which the Fund invests will declare dividends in the future or that if declared they will remain at current levels or increase over time. </div></div><div style="margin-top:8pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:Gill Sans MT"><div style="font-family:Calibri;display:inline;"><div style="font-weight:bold;display:inline;">Frequent Trading Risk</div></div><div style="font-family:Gill Sans MT;display:inline;"><div style="font-style:italic;display:inline;">.</div> The Fund’s portfolio turnover rate may exceed 100%. Frequent trading of portfolio securities may produce capital gains, which are taxable to shareholders when distributed. Frequent trading may also increase the amount of commissions or mark-ups to broker-dealers that the Fund pays when it buys and sells securities, which may detract from Fund’s performance. </div></div><div style="margin-top:8pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:Gill Sans MT"><div style="font-family:Calibri; font-size:9pt;display:inline;"><div style="font-weight:bold;display:inline;">Financial Services Sector Risk</div></div><div style="font-family:Gill Sans MT; font-size:8pt;display:inline;"><div style="font-style:italic;display:inline;">.</div> The Fund’s investment in securities issued by financial services companies makes the Fund more susceptible to adverse economic or regulatory occurrences affecting those companies.

(ii) many foreign markets are smaller, less liquid and more volatile; (iii) potential adverse effects of fluctuations in currency exchange rates or controls on the value of the Fund’s investments; (iv) the economies of foreign countries may grow at slower rates than expected or may experience a downturn or recession; (v) the impact of economic, political, social or diplomatic events; (vi) possible seizure of a company’s assets; (vii) restrictions imposed by foreign countries limiting the ability of foreign issuers to make payments of principal and/or interest due to blockages of foreign currency exchanges or otherwise and (viii) withholding and other foreign taxes may decrease the Fund’s return. These risks are more pronounced to the extent that the Fund invests a significant amount of its assets in issuers located in one foreign country or geographic region. In addition, investing in securities of foreign issuers located in emerging markets involves greater risks, including smaller market capitalization of securities markets, which may suffer periods of relative illiquidity; significant price volatility; restrictions on foreign investment; and possible restrictions on repatriation of investment income and capital. </div></div><div style="margin-top:8pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:Gill Sans MT"><div style="font-family:Calibri;display:inline;"><div style="font-weight:bold;display:inline;">Hedging Risk</div></div><div style="font-family:Gill Sans MT;display:inline;"><div style="font-style:italic;display:inline;">.</div> The Fund’s use of derivatives or other transactions to reduce risk involves costs and will be subject to the investment adviser’s and/or the sub-adviser’s ability to predict correctly changes in the relationships of such hedge instruments to the Fund’s portfolio holdings or other factors. No assurance can be given that the investment adviser’s and/or the sub-adviser’s judgment in this respect will be correct, and no assurance can be given that the Fund will enter into hedging or other transactions at times or under circumstances in which it may be advisable to do so. Hedging activities may reduce the Fund’s opportunities for gain by offsetting the positive effects of favorable price movements and may result in net losses. </div></div><div style="margin-top:8pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:Gill Sans MT"><div style="font-family:Calibri;display:inline;"><div style="font-weight:bold;display:inline;">Inflation Risk. </div></div><div style="font-family:Gill Sans MT;display:inline;">Inflation risk is the risk that the value of assets or income from investments will be worth less in the future as inflation decreases the value of money. As inflation increases, the real value of the common shares and distributions can decline. Currently, inflation rates are elevated relative to normal market conditions and could increase. </div></div> <div style="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:Gill Sans MT"><div style="font-family:Calibri;display:inline;"><div style="font-weight:bold;display:inline;">Information Technology Sector Risk.</div></div><div style="font-family:Gill Sans MT;display:inline;"> The Fund currently invests a significant portion of its assets in the information technology sector, although this may change over time. The market prices of technology-related stocks tend to exhibit a greater degree of market risk and price volatility than other types of investments. These stocks may fall in and out of favor with investors rapidly, which may cause sudden selling and dramatically lower market prices. Technology stocks also may be affected adversely by changes in technology, consumer and business purchasing patterns, government regulation and/or obsolete products or services. Companies in the information technology sector are heavily dependent on patent and intellectual property rights. The loss or impairment of these rights may adversely affect the profitability of these companies. </div></div><div style="margin-top:8pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:Gill Sans MT"><div style="font-family:Calibri;display:inline;"><div style="font-weight:bold;display:inline;">Large-Cap Company Risk.</div></div><div style="font-family:Gill Sans MT;display:inline;"> While large-cap companies may be less volatile than those of mid-and small-cap companies, they still involve risk. To the extent the Fund invests in large-capitalization securities, the Fund may underperform funds that invest primarily in securities of smaller capitalization companies during periods when the securities of such companies are in favor. Large-capitalization companies may be unable to respond as quickly as smaller capitalization companies to competitive challenges or to changes in business, product, financial or other market conditions. </div></div><div style="margin-top:8pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:Gill Sans MT"><div style="font-family:Calibri;display:inline;"><div style="font-weight:bold;display:inline;">Options Strategy Risk. </div></div><div style="font-family:Gill Sans MT;display:inline;">The value of call options sold (written) by the Fund will fluctuate. The Fund may not participate in any appreciation of its portfolio as fully as it would if the Fund did not sell call options. In addition, the Fund will continue to bear the risk of declines in the value of its portfolio. In employing the Fund’s option strategy, the sub-adviser seeks to reduce downside risk and volatility of the Fund’s equity portfolio. This strategy may not protect against market declines and may limit the Fund’s participation in market gains, particularly during periods when market values are increasing. This strategy may increase the Fund’s portfolio transaction costs, which could result in losses or reduce gains, and may not be successful. </div></div><div style="margin-top:8pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:Gill Sans MT"><div style="font-family:Calibri;display:inline;"><div style="font-weight:bold;display:inline;">Other Investment Companies Risk</div></div><div style="font-family:Gill Sans MT;display:inline;"><div style="font-style:italic;display:inline;">. </div>Investing in an investment company exposes the Fund to all of the risks of that investment company’s investments. The Fund, as a holder of the securities of other investment companies, will bear its pro rata portion of the other investment companies’ expenses, including advisory fees. These expenses are in addition to the direct expenses of the Fund’s own operations. As a result, the cost of investing in investment company shares may exceed the costs of investing directly in its underlying investments. In addition, securities of other investment companies may be leveraged. As a result, the Fund may be indirectly exposed to leverage through an investment in such securities and therefore magnify the Fund’s leverage risk. </div></div><div style="margin-top:8pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:Gill Sans MT">With respect to ETF’s, an ETF that is based on a specific index may not be able to replicate and maintain exactly the composition and relative weighting of securities in the index. The value of an ETF based on a specific index is subject to change as the values of its respective component assets fluctuate according to market volatility. ETFs typically rely on a limited pool of authorized participants to create and redeem shares, and an active trading market for ETF shares may not develop or be maintained. The market value of shares of ETFs and closed-end funds may differ from their NAV. </div><div style="margin-top:8pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:Gill Sans MT"><div style="font-family:Calibri;display:inline;"><div style="font-weight:bold;display:inline;">Put Option Risk</div></div><div style="font-family:Gill Sans MT;display:inline;"><div style="font-style:italic;display:inline;">.</div> By writing put options, the Fund takes on the risk of declines in the value of the underlying instrument, including the possibility of a loss up to the entire strike <div style="display:inline;">price</div> of each option it sells but without the corresponding opportunity to benefit from potential increases in the value of the underlying instrument. When the Fund writes a put option, it assumes the risk that it must purchase the underlying instrument at a strike price that may be higher than the market price of the instrument. If there is a broad market decline and the Fund is not able to close out its written put options, it may result in substantial losses to the Fund. The Fund will receive a premium from writing options, but the premium received may not be sufficient to offset any losses sustained from exercised put options. </div></div><div style="margin-top:8pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:Gill Sans MT"><div style="font-family:Calibri;display:inline;"><div style="font-weight:bold;display:inline;">Quantitative Analysis Risk</div></div><div style="font-family:Gill Sans MT;display:inline;"><div style="font-style:italic;display:inline;">.</div> The risk that stocks selected using quantitative modeling and analysis could perform differently from the market as a whole and the risk that such quantitative analysis and modeling may not adequately take into account certain factors, may contain design flaws or inaccurate assumptions and may rely on inaccurate data inputs, which may result in losses to the Fund. </div></div><div style="margin-top:8pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:Gill Sans MT"><div style="font-family:Calibri;display:inline;"><div style="font-weight:bold;display:inline;">Restricted and Illiquid Investments Risk</div></div><div style="font-family:Gill Sans MT;display:inline;"><div style="font-style:italic;display:inline;">. </div>Illiquid investments are investments that are not readily marketable. These investments may include restricted investments, including Rule 144A securities, which cannot be resold to the public without an effective registration statement under the 1933 Act, or, if they are unregistered may be sold only in a privately negotiated transaction or pursuant to an available exemption from registration. The Fund may not be able to readily dispose of such investments at prices that approximate those at which the Fund could sell the investments if they were more widely traded and, as a result of such illiquidity, the Fund may have to sell other investments or engage in borrowing transactions if necessary to raise cash to meet its obligations. Limited liquidity can also affect the market price of investments, thereby adversely affecting the Fund’s NAV and ability to make dividend distributions. The financial markets in general have in recent years experienced periods of extreme secondary market supply and demand imbalance, resulting in a loss of liquidity during which market prices were suddenly and substantially below traditional measures of intrinsic value. During such periods, some investments could be sold only at arbitrary prices and with substantial losses. Periods of such market dislocation may occur again at any time. </div></div><div style="margin-top:8pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:Gill Sans MT"><div style="font-family:Calibri;display:inline;"><div style="font-weight:bold;display:inline;">Swap Transactions Risk. </div></div><div style="font-family:Gill Sans MT;display:inline;">Like most derivative instruments, the use of swaps is a highly specialized activity that involves investment techniques and risks different from those associated with ordinary portfolio securities transactions. In addition, the use of swaps requires an understanding by the investment adviser and/or the sub-adviser of not only the referenced asset, rate or index, but also of the swap itself. If the investment adviser and/ or the sub-adviser is incorrect in its forecasts of default risks, market spreads or other applicable factors or events, the investment performance of the Fund would diminish compared with what it would have been if these techniques were not used. </div></div><div style="margin-top:8pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:Gill Sans MT"><div style="font-family:Calibri;display:inline;"><div style="font-weight:bold;display:inline;">U.S. Government Securities Risk</div></div><div style="font-family:Gill Sans MT;display:inline;"><div style="font-style:italic;display:inline;">.</div> U.S. government securities are guaranteed only as to the timely payment of interest and the payment of principal when held to maturity. Accordingly, the current market values for these securities will fluctuate with changes in interest rates. Securities issued or guaranteed by U.S. government agencies and instrumentalities are supported by varying degrees of credit but generally are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government. No assurance can be given that the U.S. government will provide financial support to its agencies and instrumentalities if it is not obligated by law to do so. </div></div><div style="margin-top:8pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:Gill Sans MT"><div style="font-family:Calibri;display:inline;"><div style="font-weight:bold;display:inline;">Valuation Risk</div></div><div style="font-family:Gill Sans MT;display:inline;"><div style="font-style:italic;display:inline;">.</div> Certain securities in which the Fund invests typically are valued by a pricing service utilizing a range of market-based inputs and assumptions, including readily available market quotations obtained from broker-dealers making markets in such instruments, cash flows and transactions for comparable instruments. There is no assurance that the Fund will be able to sell a portfolio security at the price established by the </div></div> <div style="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:Gill Sans MT">pricing service, which could result in a loss to the Fund. Pricing services generally price securities assuming orderly transactions of an institutional “round lot” size, but some trades may occur in smaller, “odd lot” sizes, often at lower prices than institutional round lot trades. Different pricing services may incorporate different assumptions and inputs into their valuation methodologies, potentially resulting in different values for the same securities. As a result, if the Fund were to change pricing services, or if the Fund’s pricing service were to change its valuation methodology, there could be a material impact, either positive or negative, on the Fund’s NAV. </div><div style="margin-top:8pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:Gill Sans MT"><div style="font-family:Calibri;display:inline;"><div style="font-weight:bold;display:inline;">When-Issued and Delayed-Delivery Transaction Risk</div></div><div style="font-family:Gill Sans MT;display:inline;"><div style="font-style:italic;display:inline;">. </div>When-issued and delayed-delivery transactions may involve an element of risk because no interest accrues on the securities prior to settlement and, because securities are subject to market fluctuations, the value of the securities at time of delivery may be less (or more) than their cost. A separate account of the Fund will be established with its custodian consisting of cash equivalents or liquid securities having a market value at all times at least equal to the amount of any delayed payment commitment. </div></div><div style="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:9pt; font-family:Calibri;font-weight:bold"><div style="text-decoration:underline;display:inline;">Fund Level and Other Risks: </div></div><div style="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:Gill Sans MT"><div style="font-family:Calibri;display:inline;"><div style="font-weight:bold;display:inline;">Anti-Takeover Provisions</div></div><div style="font-family:Gill Sans MT;display:inline;"><div style="font-style:italic;display:inline;">.</div> The Declaration of Trust and the Fund’s by-laws include provisions that could limit the ability of other entities or persons to acquire control of the Fund or convert the Fund to open-end status. These provisions could have the effect of depriving the Common Shareholders of opportunities to sell their Common Shares at a premium over the then-current market price of the Common Shares. </div></div><div style="margin-top:8pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:Gill Sans MT"><div style="font-family:Calibri; font-size:9pt;display:inline;"><div style="font-weight:bold;display:inline;">Borrowing Risk</div></div><div style="font-family:Gill Sans MT; font-size:8pt;display:inline;">. The Fund may borrow for temporary or emergency purposes. Borrowing may exaggerate changes in the NAV of the Fund’s shares and may affect the Fund’s net income. When the Fund borrows money, it must pay interest and other fees, which will reduce the Fund’s returns if such costs exceed the returns on the portfolio securities purchased or retained with such borrowings. Any such borrowings are intended to be temporary. However, under certain market circumstances, such borrowings might be outstanding for longer periods of time. </div></div><div style="margin-top:8pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:Gill Sans MT"><div style="font-family:Calibri;display:inline;"><div style="font-weight:bold;display:inline;">Cybersecurity Risk</div></div><div style="font-family:Gill Sans MT;display:inline;"><div style="font-style:italic;display:inline;">.</div> The Fund and its service providers are susceptible to operational and information security risk resulting from cyber incidents. Cyber incidents refer to both intentional attacks and unintentional events including: processing errors, human errors, technical errors including computer glitches and system malfunctions, inadequate or failed internal or external processes, market-wide technical-related disruptions, unauthorized access to digital systems (through “hacking” or malicious software coding), computer viruses, and cyber-attacks which shut down, disable, slow or otherwise disrupt operations, business processes or website access or functionality (including denial of service attacks). Cyber incidents could adversely impact the Fund and cause the Fund to incur financial loss and expense, as well as face exposure to regulatory penalties, reputational damage, and additional compliance costs associated with corrective measures. In addition, substantial costs may be incurred in order to prevent any cyber incidents in the future. Furthermore, the Fund cannot control the cybersecurity plans and systems put in place by its service providers or any other third parties whose operations may affect the Fund. </div></div><div style="margin-top:8pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:Gill Sans MT"><div style="font-family:Calibri;display:inline;"><div style="font-weight:bold;display:inline;">Global Economic Risk</div></div><div style="font-family:Gill Sans MT;display:inline;"><div style="font-style:italic;display:inline;">. </div>National and regional economies and financial markets are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the possibilities that conditions in one country, region or market might adversely impact issuers in a different country, region or market. Changes in legal, political, regulatory, tax and economic conditions may cause fluctuations in markets and asset prices around the world, which could negatively impact the value of the Fund’s investments. Major economic or political disruptions, particularly in large economies, may have global negative economic and market repercussions. Additionally, instability in various countries, war, natural and environmental disasters, the spread of infectious illnesses or other public health emergencies, terrorist attacks in the United States and around the world, growing social and political discord in the United States, debt crises, the response of the international community—through economic sanctions and otherwise—to international events, further downgrade of U.S. government securities, changes in the U.S. president or political shifts in Congress, trade disputes and other similar events may adversely affect the global economy and the markets and issuers in which the Fund invests. These events could reduce consumer demand or economic output, result in market closure, travel restrictions or quarantines, and generally have a significant impact on the global economy. These events could also impair the information technology and other operational systems upon which the Fund’s service providers, including the Fund’s sub-adviser, rely, and could otherwise disrupt the ability of employees of the Fund’s service providers to perform essential tasks on behalf of the Fund. </div></div><div style="margin-top:8pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:Gill Sans MT">The Fund does not know and cannot predict how long the securities markets may be affected by these events, and the future impact of these and similar events on the global economy and securities markets is uncertain. The Fund may be adversely affected by abrogation of international agreements and national laws which have created the market instruments in which the Fund may invest, failure of the designated national and international authorities to enforce compliance with the same laws and agreements, failure of local, national and international organizations to carry out the duties prescribed to them under the relevant agreements, revisions of these laws and agreements which dilute their effectiveness or conflicting interpretation of provisions of the same laws and agreements. </div><div style="margin-top:8pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:Gill Sans MT">Governmental and quasi-governmental authorities and regulators throughout the world have in the past responded to major economic disruptions with a variety of significant fiscal and monetary policy changes, including but not limited to, direct capital infusions into companies, new monetary programs and dramatically lower interest rates. An unexpected or quick reversal of these policies, or the ineffectiveness of these policies, could increase volatility in securities markets, which could adversely affect the Fund’s investments. </div><div style="margin-top:8pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:Gill Sans MT"><div style="font-family:Calibri;display:inline;"><div style="font-weight:bold;display:inline;">Investment and Market Risk</div></div><div style="font-family:Gill Sans MT;display:inline;"><div style="font-style:italic;display:inline;">. </div>An investment in common shares is subject to investment risk, including the possible loss of the entire principal amount that you invest. Common shares frequently trade at a discount to their NAV. An investment in common shares represents an indirect investment in the securities owned by the Fund. Common shares at any point in time may be worth less than your original investment, even after taking into account the reinvestment of Fund dividends and distributions. </div></div><div style="margin-top:8pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:Gill Sans MT"><div style="font-family:Calibri;display:inline;"><div style="font-weight:bold;display:inline;">Legislation and Regulatory Risk</div></div><div style="font-family:Gill Sans MT;display:inline;"><div style="font-style:italic;display:inline;">. </div>At any time after the date of this report, legislation or additional regulations may be enacted that could negatively affect the assets of the Fund, securities held by the Fund or the issuers of such securities. Fund shareholders may incur increased costs resulting from such legislation or additional regulation. There can be no assurance that future legislation, regulation or deregulation will not have a material adverse effect on the Fund or will not impair the ability of the Fund to achieve its investment objectives. </div></div><div style="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:Gill Sans MT"><div style="font-family:Calibri;display:inline;"><div style="font-weight:bold;display:inline;">Market Discount from Net Asset Value</div></div><div style="font-family:Gill Sans MT;display:inline;"><div style="font-style:italic;display:inline;">.</div> Shares of closed-end investment companies like the Fund frequently trade at prices lower than their NAV. This characteristic is a risk separate and distinct from the risk that the Fund’s NAV could decrease as a result of investment activities. Whether investors will realize gains or losses upon the sale of the common shares will depend not upon the Fund’s NAV but entirely upon whether the market price of the common shares at the time of sale is above or below the investor’s purchase price for the common shares. Furthermore, management may have difficulty meeting the Fund’s investment objectives and managing its portfolio when the underlying securities are redeemed or sold during periods of market turmoil and as investors’ perceptions regarding closed-end funds or their underlying investments change. Because the market price of the common shares will be determined by factors such as relative supply of and demand for the common shares in the market, general market and economic circumstances, and other factors beyond the control of the Fund, the Fund cannot predict whether the common shares will trade at, below or above NAV. The common shares are designed primarily for long-term investors, and you should not view the Fund as a vehicle for short-term trading purposes. </div></div><div style="margin-top:8pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:Gill Sans MT"><div style="font-family:Calibri;display:inline;"><div style="font-weight:bold;display:inline;">Non-Diversified Status Risk</div></div><div style="font-family:Gill Sans MT;display:inline;"><div style="font-style:italic;display:inline;">.</div> Because the Fund is classified as “non-diversified” under the 1940 Act, it can invest a greater portion of its assets in obligations of a single issuer than a “diversified” fund. As a result, the Fund will be more susceptible than a diversified fund to fluctuations in the prices of securities of a single issuer. </div></div><div style="margin-top:8pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:Gill Sans MT"><div style="font-family:Calibri;display:inline;"><div style="font-weight:bold;display:inline;">Not an Index Fund</div></div><div style="font-family:Gill Sans MT;display:inline;"><div style="font-style:italic;display:inline;">.</div> The Fund is not, nor is it intended to be, an index fund. As a result, the performance of the Fund will differ from the performance of the index as a whole for various reasons, including the fact that the Fund will write call options on a portion of its equity portfolio and the weightings of the securities included in the Fund’s equity portfolio may be different than the weightings of the common stocks in the index. The Fund, by writing call options on its equity portfolio, will give up the opportunity to benefit from potential increases in the value of the Fund’s equity portfolio above the exercise prices of the options, but will continue to bear the risk of declines in the value of the Fund’s equity portfolio. </div></div><div style="margin-top:8pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:Gill Sans MT"><div style="font-family:Calibri;display:inline;"><div style="font-weight:bold;display:inline;">Recent Market Conditions</div></div><div style="font-family:Gill Sans MT;display:inline;"><div style="font-style:italic;display:inline;">.</div> Periods of unusually high financial market volatility and restrictive credit conditions, at times limited to a particular sector or geographic area, have occurred in the past and may be expected to recur in the future. Some countries, including the United States, have adopted or have signaled protectionist trade measures, including the imposition of tariffs, relaxation of the financial industry regulations that followed the financial crisis, and/or reductions to corporate taxes. The scope of these policy changes is still developing, but the equity and debt markets may react strongly to expectations of change, which could increase volatility, particularly if a resulting policy runs counter to the market’s expectations. The outcome of such changes cannot be foreseen at the present time. In addition, geopolitical and other risks, including environmental and public health risks, may add to instability in the world economy and markets generally. As a result of increasingly interconnected global economies and financial markets, the value and liquidity of the Fund’s investments may be negatively affected by events impacting a country or region, regardless of whether the Fund invests in issuers located in or with significant exposure to such country or region. </div></div><div style="margin-top:8pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:Gill Sans MT">Ukraine has experienced ongoing military conflict, most recently commencing in February 2022 when Russia invaded Ukraine; this conflict may expand and military attacks could occur elsewhere in Europe. Europe has also been struggling with mass migration from the Middle East and Africa. The ultimate effects of these events and other socio-political or geographical issues are not known but could profoundly affect global economies and markets. Additionally, in October 2023 armed conflict broke out between Israel and the militant group Hamas after Hamas infiltrated Israel’s southern border from the Gaza Strip. Israel has since declared war against Hamas and this conflict has escalated into a greater regional conflict. The ultimate effects of these events and other socio-political or geographical issues are not known but could profoundly affect global economies and markets. </div><div style="margin-top:8pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:Gill Sans MT">The ongoing trade war between China and the United States, including the imposition of tariffs by each country on the other country’s products, has created a tense political environment. These actions may trigger a significant reduction in international trade, adverse effects in the supply of certain manufactured goods, substantial adverse price changes for goods and possible failure of individual companies and/or large segments of China’s export industry and U.S. importers, which could have a negative impact on the Fund’s performance. U.S. companies that source material and goods from China and those that make large amounts of sales in China would are vulnerable to an escalation of trade tensions. Beginning in early 2025, the United States also imposed tariffs on other countries, including Mexico and Canada. The possibility of additional tariffs being imposed or the outbreak of a trade war may adversely impact U.S. and international markets. Uncertainty regarding the outcome of the trade tensions and the potential for a trade war could cause the U.S. dollar to decline further. Events such as these and their consequences are difficult to predict and it is unclear whether further tariffs may be imposed or other escalating actions may be taken in the future. Additionally, political uncertainty regarding U.S. policy, including the U.S. government’s approach to trade, may impact the markets and the Fund’s performance. </div><div style="margin-top:8pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:Gill Sans MT">The U.S. Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) has in the past sharply raised interest rates, and has signaled an intention to maintain relatively higher interest rates until current inflation levels re-align with the Fed’s long-term inflation target. Changing interest rate environments impact the various sectors of the economy in different ways. For example, in March 2023, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) was appointed receiver for each of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank, the second- and third-largest bank failures in U.S. history, which failures may be attributable, in part, to rising interest rates. Bank failures may have a destabilizing impact on the broader banking industry or markets generally. </div><div style="margin-top:8pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:Gill Sans MT">The impact of these developments in the near- and long-term is unknown and could have additional adverse effects on economies, financial markets and asset valuations around the world. </div><div style="margin-top:8pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:Gill Sans MT"><div style="font-family:Calibri;display:inline;"><div style="font-weight:bold;display:inline;">Fund Tax Risk</div></div><div style="font-family:Gill Sans MT;display:inline;"><div style="font-style:italic;display:inline;">.</div> The Fund has elected to be treated and intends to qualify each year as a Regulated Investment Company (“RIC”) under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). As a RIC, the Fund is not expected to be subject to U.S. federal income tax to the extent that it distributes its investment company taxable income and net capital gains. To qualify for the special tax treatment available to a RIC, the Fund must comply with certain investment, distribution, and diversification requirements. Under certain circumstances, the Fund may be forced to sell certain assets when it is not advantageous in order to meet these requirements, which may reduce the Fund’s overall return. If the Fund fails to meet any of these requirements, subject to the opportunity to cure such failures under applicable provisions of the Code, the Fund’s income would be subject to a double level of U.S. federal income tax. The Fund’s income, including its net capital gain, would first be subject to U.S. federal income tax at regular corporate rates, even if such income were distributed to shareholders and, second, all distributions by the Fund from earnings and profits, including distributions of net capital gain (if any), would be taxable to shareholders as dividends. </div></div> <div style="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:Gill Sans MT"><div style="font-family:Calibri; font-size:9pt;display:inline;"><div style="font-weight:bold;display:inline;">Call Option Risk</div></div><div style="font-family:Gill Sans MT; font-size:8pt;display:inline;"><div style="font-style:italic;display:inline;">.</div> As the writer of a call option, the Fund foregoes, during the option’s life, the opportunity to profit from increases in the market value of the instrument underlying the call option above the sum of the premium and the strike price of the option, but will retain the risk of loss should the market value of the instrument underlying the call option decline. The purchaser of the call option has the right to any appreciation in the value of the underlying instrument over the exercise price upon the exercise of the call option or the expiration date. As the Fund increases the option overlay percentage, its ability to benefit from capital appreciation becomes more limited and the risk of NAV erosion increases. If the Fund experiences NAV erosion, which itself may have a negative effect on the market price of the Fund’s shares, the Fund will have a reduced asset base over which to write call options, which may eventually lead to reduced distributions to shareholders. </div></div><div style="margin-top:8pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:Gill Sans MT">In addition, because the exercise of index options is settled in cash, sellers of index call options, such as the Fund, cannot provide in advance for their potential settlement obligations by acquiring and holding the underlying securities. The Fund bears a risk that the value of the securities held by the Fund will vary from the value of the underlying index and relative to the written index call option positions. Accordingly, the Fund may incur losses on the index call options that it has sold that exceed gains on the Fund’s equity portfolio. The value of index options written by the Fund, which will be priced daily, will be affected by changes in the value of and dividend rates of the underlying common stocks in the index, changes in the actual or perceived volatility of the stock market and the remaining time to the options’ expiration. The value of the index options also may be adversely affected if the market for the index options becomes less liquid or smaller. </div> <div style="margin-top:8pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:Gill Sans MT"><div style="font-family:Calibri; font-size:9pt;display:inline;"><div style="font-weight:bold;display:inline;">Common Stock Risk.</div></div><div style="font-family:Gill Sans MT; font-size:8pt;display:inline;"> Common stocks have experienced significantly more volatility in returns and may significantly underperform relative to fixed-income securities during certain periods. An adverse event, such as an unfavorable earnings report, may depress the value of a particular common stock held by the Fund. Also, the prices of common stocks are sensitive to general movements in the stock market, and a drop in the stock market may depress the price of common stocks to which the Fund has exposure. Common stock prices fluctuate for several reasons, including changes in investors’ perceptions of the financial condition of an issuer, the general condition of the relevant stock market or the current and expected future conditions of the broader economy, or when political or economic events affecting the issuer in particular or the stock market in general occur. In addition, common stock prices may be particularly sensitive to rising interest rates, as the cost of capital rises and borrowing costs increase. </div></div> <div style="margin-top:8pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:Gill Sans MT"><div style="font-family:Calibri; font-size:9pt;display:inline;"><div style="font-weight:bold;display:inline;">Counterparty Risk. </div></div><div style="font-family:Gill Sans MT; font-size:8pt;display:inline;">The Fund will be subject to credit risk with respect to the counterparties to the derivative transactions entered into by the Fund. Changes in the credit quality of the companies that serve as the Fund’s counterparties with respect to derivatives transactions may affect the value of those instruments. Because certain derivative transactions in which the Fund may engage may be traded between counterparties based on contractual relationships, the Fund is subject to the risk that a counterparty will not perform its obligations under the related contracts. If a counterparty becomes bankrupt or otherwise becomes unable to perform its obligations due to financial difficulties the Fund may sustain losses (including the full amount of its investment), may be unable to liquidate a derivatives position or may experience significant delays in obtaining any recovery in bankruptcy or other reorganization proceedings. By entering into derivatives transactions, the Fund assumes the risk that its counterparties could experience such financial hardships. Although the Fund intends to enter into transactions only with counterparties that the sub-adviser believes to be creditworthy, there can be no assurance that a counterparty will not default and that the Fund will not sustain a loss on a </div></div><div style="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:Gill Sans MT">transaction. In the event of a counterparty’s bankruptcy or insolvency, any collateral posted by the Fund in connection with a derivatives transaction may be subject to the conflicting claims of that counterparty’s creditors, and the Fund may be exposed to <div style="display:inline;">the </div>risk of a court treating the Fund as a general unsecured creditor of the counterparty, rather than as the owner of the collateral. </div> <div style="margin-top:8pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:Gill Sans MT"><div style="font-family:Calibri;display:inline;"><div style="font-weight:bold;display:inline;">Deflation Risk.</div></div><div style="font-family:Gill Sans MT;display:inline;"> Deflation risk is the risk that prices throughout the economy decline over time. Deflation may have an adverse effect on the creditworthiness of issuers and may make issuer default more likely, which may result in a decline in the value of the Fund’s portfolio. </div></div> <div style="margin-top:8pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:Gill Sans MT"><div style="font-family:Calibri;display:inline;"><div style="font-weight:bold;display:inline;">Derivatives Risk.</div></div><div style="font-family:Gill Sans MT;display:inline;"> The use of derivatives involves additional risks and transaction costs which could leave the Fund in a worse position than if it had not used these instruments. Derivative instruments can be used to acquire or to transfer the risk and returns of a security or other asset without buying or selling the security or asset. These instruments may entail investment exposures that are greater than their cost would suggest. As a result, a small investment in derivatives can result in losses that greatly exceed the original investment. Derivatives can be highly volatile, illiquid and difficult to value. An over-the-counter derivative transaction between the Fund and a counterparty that is not cleared through a central counterparty also involves the risk that a loss may be sustained as a result of the failure of the counterparty to the contract to make required payments. The payment obligation for a cleared derivative transaction is guaranteed by a central counterparty, which exposes the Fund to the creditworthiness of the central counterparty. The use of certain derivatives involves leverage, which can cause the Fund’s portfolio to be more volatile than if the portfolio had not been leveraged. Leverage can significantly magnify the effect of price movements of the reference asset, disproportionately increasing the Fund’s losses and reducing the Fund’s opportunities for gains when the reference asset changes in unexpected ways. In some instances, such leverage could result in losses that exceed the original amount invested. </div></div><div style="margin-top:8pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:Gill Sans MT">It is possible that regulatory or other developments in the derivatives market, including changes in government regulation could adversely impact the Fund’s ability to invest in certain derivatives successfully use derivative instruments. </div> <div style="margin-top:8pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:Gill Sans MT"><div style="font-family:Calibri;display:inline;"><div style="font-weight:bold;display:inline;">Dividend Income Risk</div></div><div style="font-family:Gill Sans MT;display:inline;"><div style="font-style:italic;display:inline;">.</div> A portion of the net investment income paid by the Fund to its shareholders is derived from dividends it receives from the common stocks held in the Fund’s equity portfolio. Dividends paid on securities held by the Fund can vary significantly over the short-term and long-term. Dividends on common stocks are not fixed, but are declared at the discretion of an issuer’s board of directors. There is no guarantee that the issuers of common stocks in which the Fund invests will declare dividends in the future or that if declared they will remain at current levels or increase over time. </div></div> <div style="margin-top:8pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:Gill Sans MT"><div style="font-family:Calibri;display:inline;"><div style="font-weight:bold;display:inline;">Frequent Trading Risk</div></div><div style="font-family:Gill Sans MT;display:inline;"><div style="font-style:italic;display:inline;">.</div> The Fund’s portfolio turnover rate may exceed 100%. Frequent trading of portfolio securities may produce capital gains, which are taxable to shareholders when distributed. Frequent trading may also increase the amount of commissions or mark-ups to broker-dealers that the Fund pays when it buys and sells securities, which may detract from Fund’s performance. </div></div> <div style="margin-top:8pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:Gill Sans MT"><div style="font-family:Calibri; font-size:9pt;display:inline;"><div style="font-weight:bold;display:inline;">Financial Services Sector Risk</div></div><div style="font-family:Gill Sans MT; font-size:8pt;display:inline;"><div style="font-style:italic;display:inline;">.</div> The Fund’s investment in securities issued by financial services companies makes the Fund more susceptible to adverse economic or regulatory occurrences affecting those companies.

No assurance can be given that the investment adviser’s and/or the sub-adviser’s judgment in this respect will be correct, and no assurance can be given that the Fund will enter into hedging or other transactions at times or under circumstances in which it may be advisable to do so. Hedging activities may reduce the Fund’s opportunities for gain by offsetting the positive effects of favorable price movements and may result in net losses. </div></div> <div style="margin-top:8pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:Gill Sans MT"><div style="font-family:Calibri;display:inline;"><div style="font-weight:bold;display:inline;">Inflation Risk. </div></div><div style="font-family:Gill Sans MT;display:inline;">Inflation risk is the risk that the value of assets or income from investments will be worth less in the future as inflation decreases the value of money. As inflation increases, the real value of the common shares and distributions can decline. Currently, inflation rates are elevated relative to normal market conditions and could increase. </div></div> <div style="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:Gill Sans MT"><div style="font-family:Calibri;display:inline;"><div style="font-weight:bold;display:inline;">Information Technology Sector Risk.</div></div><div style="font-family:Gill Sans MT;display:inline;"> The Fund currently invests a significant portion of its assets in the information technology sector, although this may change over time. The market prices of technology-related stocks tend to exhibit a greater degree of market risk and price volatility than other types of investments. These stocks may fall in and out of favor with investors rapidly, which may cause sudden selling and dramatically lower market prices. Technology stocks also may be affected adversely by changes in technology, consumer and business purchasing patterns, government regulation and/or obsolete products or services. Companies in the information technology sector are heavily dependent on patent and intellectual property rights. The loss or impairment of these rights may adversely affect the profitability of these companies. </div></div> <div style="margin-top:8pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:Gill Sans MT"><div style="font-family:Calibri;display:inline;"><div style="font-weight:bold;display:inline;">Large-Cap Company Risk.</div></div><div style="font-family:Gill Sans MT;display:inline;"> While large-cap companies may be less volatile than those of mid-and small-cap companies, they still involve risk. To the extent the Fund invests in large-capitalization securities, the Fund may underperform funds that invest primarily in securities of smaller capitalization companies during periods when the securities of such companies are in favor. Large-capitalization companies may be unable to respond as quickly as smaller capitalization companies to competitive challenges or to changes in business, product, financial or other market conditions. </div></div> <div style="margin-top:8pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:Gill Sans MT"><div style="font-family:Calibri;display:inline;"><div style="font-weight:bold;display:inline;">Options Strategy Risk. </div></div><div style="font-family:Gill Sans MT;display:inline;">The value of call options sold (written) by the Fund will fluctuate. The Fund may not participate in any appreciation of its portfolio as fully as it would if the Fund did not sell call options. In addition, the Fund will continue to bear the risk of declines in the value of its portfolio. In employing the Fund’s option strategy, the sub-adviser seeks to reduce downside risk and volatility of the Fund’s equity portfolio. This strategy may not protect against market declines and may limit the Fund’s participation in market gains, particularly during periods when market values are increasing. This strategy may increase the Fund’s portfolio transaction costs, which could result in losses or reduce gains, and may not be successful. </div></div> <div style="margin-top:8pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:Gill Sans MT"><div style="font-family:Calibri;display:inline;"><div style="font-weight:bold;display:inline;">Other Investment Companies Risk</div></div><div style="font-family:Gill Sans MT;display:inline;"><div style="font-style:italic;display:inline;">. </div>Investing in an investment company exposes the Fund to all of the risks of that investment company’s investments. The Fund, as a holder of the securities of other investment companies, will bear its pro rata portion of the other investment companies’ expenses, including advisory fees. These expenses are in addition to the direct expenses of the Fund’s own operations. As a result, the cost of investing in investment company shares may exceed the costs of investing directly in its underlying investments. In addition, securities of other investment companies may be leveraged. As a result, the Fund may be indirectly exposed to leverage through an investment in such securities and therefore magnify the Fund’s leverage risk. </div></div><div style="margin-top:8pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:Gill Sans MT">With respect to ETF’s, an ETF that is based on a specific index may not be able to replicate and maintain exactly the composition and relative weighting of securities in the index. The value of an ETF based on a specific index is subject to change as the values of its respective component assets fluctuate according to market volatility. ETFs typically rely on a limited pool of authorized participants to create and redeem shares, and an active trading market for ETF shares may not develop or be maintained. The market value of shares of ETFs and closed-end funds may differ from their NAV. </div> <div style="margin-top:8pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:Gill Sans MT"><div style="font-family:Calibri;display:inline;"><div style="font-weight:bold;display:inline;">Quantitative Analysis Risk</div></div><div style="font-family:Gill Sans MT;display:inline;"><div style="font-style:italic;display:inline;">.</div> The risk that stocks selected using quantitative modeling and analysis could perform differently from the market as a whole and the risk that such quantitative analysis and modeling may not adequately take into account certain factors, may contain design flaws or inaccurate assumptions and may rely on inaccurate data inputs, which may result in losses to the Fund. </div></div> <div style="margin-top:8pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:Gill Sans MT"><div style="font-family:Calibri;display:inline;"><div style="font-weight:bold;display:inline;">Restricted and Illiquid Investments Risk</div></div><div style="font-family:Gill Sans MT;display:inline;"><div style="font-style:italic;display:inline;">. </div>Illiquid investments are investments that are not readily marketable. These investments may include restricted investments, including Rule 144A securities, which cannot be resold to the public without an effective registration statement under the 1933 Act, or, if they are unregistered may be sold only in a privately negotiated transaction or pursuant to an available exemption from registration. The Fund may not be able to readily dispose of such investments at prices that approximate those at which the Fund could sell the investments if they were more widely traded and, as a result of such illiquidity, the Fund may have to sell other investments or engage in borrowing transactions if necessary to raise cash to meet its obligations. Limited liquidity can also affect the market price of investments, thereby adversely affecting the Fund’s NAV and ability to make dividend distributions. The financial markets in general have in recent years experienced periods of extreme secondary market supply and demand imbalance, resulting in a loss of liquidity during which market prices were suddenly and substantially below traditional measures of intrinsic value. During such periods, some investments could be sold only at arbitrary prices and with substantial losses. Periods of such market dislocation may occur again at any time. </div></div> <div style="margin-top:8pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:Gill Sans MT"><div style="font-family:Calibri;display:inline;"><div style="font-weight:bold;display:inline;">Swap Transactions Risk. </div></div><div style="font-family:Gill Sans MT;display:inline;">Like most derivative instruments, the use of swaps is a highly specialized activity that involves investment techniques and risks different from those associated with ordinary portfolio securities transactions. In addition, the use of swaps requires an understanding by the investment adviser and/or the sub-adviser of not only the referenced asset, rate or index, but also of the swap itself. If the investment adviser and/ or the sub-adviser is incorrect in its forecasts of default risks, market spreads or other applicable factors or events, the investment performance of the Fund would diminish compared with what it would have been if these techniques were not used. </div></div> <div style="margin-top:8pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:Gill Sans MT"><div style="font-family:Calibri;display:inline;"><div style="font-weight:bold;display:inline;">U.S. Government Securities Risk</div></div><div style="font-family:Gill Sans MT;display:inline;"><div style="font-style:italic;display:inline;">.</div> U.S. government securities are guaranteed only as to the timely payment of interest and the payment of principal when held to maturity. Accordingly, the current market values for these securities will fluctuate with changes in interest rates. Securities issued or guaranteed by U.S. government agencies and instrumentalities are supported by varying degrees of credit but generally are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government. No assurance can be given that the U.S. government will provide financial support to its agencies and instrumentalities if it is not obligated by law to do so. </div></div> <div style="margin-top:8pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:Gill Sans MT"><div style="font-family:Calibri;display:inline;"><div style="font-weight:bold;display:inline;">Valuation Risk</div></div><div style="font-family:Gill Sans MT;display:inline;"><div style="font-style:italic;display:inline;">.</div> Certain securities in which the Fund invests typically are valued by a pricing service utilizing a range of market-based inputs and assumptions, including readily available market quotations obtained from broker-dealers making markets in such instruments, cash flows and transactions for comparable instruments. There is no assurance that the Fund will be able to sell a portfolio security at the price established by the </div></div><div style="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:Gill Sans MT">pricing service, which could result in a loss to the Fund. Pricing services generally price securities assuming orderly transactions of an institutional “round lot” size, but some trades may occur in smaller, “odd lot” sizes, often at lower prices than institutional round lot trades. Different pricing services may incorporate different assumptions and inputs into their valuation methodologies, potentially resulting in different values for the same securities. As a result, if the Fund were to change pricing services, or if the Fund’s pricing service were to change its valuation methodology, there could be a material impact, either positive or negative, on the Fund’s NAV. </div> <div style="margin-top:8pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:Gill Sans MT"><div style="font-family:Calibri;display:inline;"><div style="font-weight:bold;display:inline;">When-Issued and Delayed-Delivery Transaction Risk</div></div><div style="font-family:Gill Sans MT;display:inline;"><div style="font-style:italic;display:inline;">. </div>When-issued and delayed-delivery transactions may involve an element of risk because no interest accrues on the securities prior to settlement and, because securities are subject to market fluctuations, the value of the securities at time of delivery may be less (or more) than their cost. A separate account of the Fund will be established with its custodian consisting of cash equivalents or liquid securities having a market value at all times at least equal to the amount of any delayed payment commitment. </div></div> <div style="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:Gill Sans MT"><div style="font-family:Calibri;display:inline;"><div style="font-weight:bold;display:inline;">Anti-Takeover Provisions</div></div><div style="font-family:Gill Sans MT;display:inline;"><div style="font-style:italic;display:inline;">.</div> The Declaration of Trust and the Fund’s by-laws include provisions that could limit the ability of other entities or persons to acquire control of the Fund or convert the Fund to open-end status.

The Fund may borrow for temporary or emergency purposes. Borrowing may exaggerate changes in the NAV of the Fund’s shares and may affect the Fund’s net income. When the Fund borrows money, it must pay interest and other fees, which will reduce the Fund’s returns if such costs exceed the returns on the portfolio securities purchased or retained with such borrowings. Any such borrowings are intended to be temporary. However, under certain market circumstances, such borrowings might be outstanding for longer periods of time. </div></div> <div style="margin-top:8pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:Gill Sans MT"><div style="font-family:Calibri;display:inline;"><div style="font-weight:bold;display:inline;">Cybersecurity Risk</div></div><div style="font-family:Gill Sans MT;display:inline;"><div style="font-style:italic;display:inline;">.</div> The Fund and its service providers are susceptible to operational and information security risk resulting from cyber incidents. Cyber incidents refer to both intentional attacks and unintentional events including: processing errors, human errors, technical errors including computer glitches and system malfunctions, inadequate or failed internal or external processes, market-wide technical-related disruptions, unauthorized access to digital systems (through “hacking” or malicious software coding), computer viruses, and cyber-attacks which shut down, disable, slow or otherwise disrupt operations, business processes or website access or functionality (including denial of service attacks). Cyber incidents could adversely impact the Fund and cause the Fund to incur financial loss and expense, as well as face exposure to regulatory penalties, reputational damage, and additional compliance costs associated with corrective measures. In addition, substantial costs may be incurred in order to prevent any cyber incidents in the future. Furthermore, the Fund cannot control the cybersecurity plans and systems put in place by its service providers or any other third parties whose operations may affect the Fund. </div></div> <div style="margin-top:8pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:Gill Sans MT"><div style="font-family:Calibri;display:inline;"><div style="font-weight:bold;display:inline;">Global Economic Risk</div></div><div style="font-family:Gill Sans MT;display:inline;"><div style="font-style:italic;display:inline;">. </div>National and regional economies and financial markets are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the possibilities that conditions in one country, region or market might adversely impact issuers in a different country, region or market. Changes in legal, political, regulatory, tax and economic conditions may cause fluctuations in markets and asset prices around the world, which could negatively impact the value of the Fund’s investments. Major economic or political disruptions, particularly in large economies, may have global negative economic and market repercussions. Additionally, instability in various countries, war, natural and environmental disasters, the spread of infectious illnesses or other public health emergencies, terrorist attacks in the United States and around the world, growing social and political discord in the United States, debt crises, the response of the international community—through economic sanctions and otherwise—to international events, further downgrade of U.S. government securities, changes in the U.S. president or political shifts in Congress, trade disputes and other similar events may adversely affect the global economy and the markets and issuers in which the Fund invests. These events could reduce consumer demand or economic output, result in market closure, travel restrictions or quarantines, and generally have a significant impact on the global economy. These events could also impair the information technology and other operational systems upon which the Fund’s service providers, including the Fund’s sub-adviser, rely, and could otherwise disrupt the ability of employees of the Fund’s service providers to perform essential tasks on behalf of the Fund. </div></div><div style="margin-top:8pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:Gill Sans MT">The Fund does not know and cannot predict how long the securities markets may be affected by these events, and the future impact of these and similar events on the global economy and securities markets is uncertain. The Fund may be adversely affected by abrogation of international agreements and national laws which have created the market instruments in which the Fund may invest, failure of the designated national and international authorities to enforce compliance with the same laws and agreements, failure of local, national and international organizations to carry out the duties prescribed to them under the relevant agreements, revisions of these laws and agreements which dilute their effectiveness or conflicting interpretation of provisions of the same laws and agreements. </div><div style="margin-top:8pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:Gill Sans MT">Governmental and quasi-governmental authorities and regulators throughout the world have in the past responded to major economic disruptions with a variety of significant fiscal and monetary policy changes, including but not limited to, direct capital infusions into companies, new monetary programs and dramatically lower interest rates. An unexpected or quick reversal of these policies, or the ineffectiveness of these policies, could increase volatility in securities markets, which could adversely affect the Fund’s investments. </div> <div style="margin-top:8pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:Gill Sans MT"><div style="font-family:Calibri;display:inline;"><div style="font-weight:bold;display:inline;">Investment and Market Risk</div></div><div style="font-family:Gill Sans MT;display:inline;"><div style="font-style:italic;display:inline;">. </div>An investment in common shares is subject to investment risk, including the possible loss of the entire principal amount that you invest. Common shares frequently trade at a discount to their NAV. An investment in common shares represents an indirect investment in the securities owned by the Fund. Common shares at any point in time may be worth less than your original investment, even after taking into account the reinvestment of Fund dividends and distributions. </div></div> <div style="margin-top:8pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:Gill Sans MT"><div style="font-family:Calibri;display:inline;"><div style="font-weight:bold;display:inline;">Legislation and Regulatory Risk</div></div><div style="font-family:Gill Sans MT;display:inline;"><div style="font-style:italic;display:inline;">. </div>At any time after the date of this report, legislation or additional regulations may be enacted that could negatively affect the assets of the Fund, securities held by the Fund or the issuers of such securities. Fund shareholders may incur increased costs resulting from such legislation or additional regulation. There can be no assurance that future legislation, regulation or deregulation will not have a material adverse effect on the Fund or will not impair the ability of the Fund to achieve its investment objectives. </div></div> <div style="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:Gill Sans MT"><div style="font-family:Calibri;display:inline;"><div style="font-weight:bold;display:inline;">Market Discount from Net Asset Value</div></div><div style="font-family:Gill Sans MT;display:inline;"><div style="font-style:italic;display:inline;">.</div> Shares of closed-end investment companies like the Fund frequently trade at prices lower than their NAV. This characteristic is a risk separate and distinct from the risk that the Fund’s NAV could decrease as a result of investment activities. Whether investors will realize gains or losses upon the sale of the common shares will depend not upon the Fund’s NAV but entirely upon whether the market price of the common shares at the time of sale is above or below the investor’s purchase price for the common shares. Furthermore, management may have difficulty meeting the Fund’s investment objectives and managing its portfolio when the underlying securities are redeemed or sold during periods of market turmoil and as investors’ perceptions regarding closed-end funds or their underlying investments change. Because the market price of the common shares will be determined by factors such as relative supply of and demand for the common shares in the market, general market and economic circumstances, and other factors beyond the control of the Fund, the Fund cannot predict whether the common shares will trade at, below or above NAV. The common shares are designed primarily for long-term investors, and you should not view the Fund as a vehicle for short-term trading purposes. </div></div> <div style="margin-top:8pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:Gill Sans MT"><div style="font-family:Calibri;display:inline;"><div style="font-weight:bold;display:inline;">Recent Market Conditions</div></div><div style="font-family:Gill Sans MT;display:inline;"><div style="font-style:italic;display:inline;">.</div> Periods of unusually high financial market volatility and restrictive credit conditions, at times limited to a particular sector or geographic area, have occurred in the past and may be expected to recur in the future. Some countries, including the United States, have adopted or have signaled protectionist trade measures, including the imposition of tariffs, relaxation of the financial industry regulations that followed the financial crisis, and/or reductions to corporate taxes. The scope of these policy changes is still developing, but the equity and debt markets may react strongly to expectations of change, which could increase volatility, particularly if a resulting policy runs counter to the market’s expectations. The outcome of such changes cannot be foreseen at the present time. In addition, geopolitical and other risks, including environmental and public health risks, may add to instability in the world economy and markets generally. As a result of increasingly interconnected global economies and financial markets, the value and liquidity of the Fund’s investments may be negatively affected by events impacting a country or region, regardless of whether the Fund invests in issuers located in or with significant exposure to such country or region. </div></div><div style="margin-top:8pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:Gill Sans MT">Ukraine has experienced ongoing military conflict, most recently commencing in February 2022 when Russia invaded Ukraine; this conflict may expand and military attacks could occur elsewhere in Europe. Europe has also been struggling with mass migration from the Middle East and Africa. The ultimate effects of these events and other socio-political or geographical issues are not known but could profoundly affect global economies and markets. Additionally, in October 2023 armed conflict broke out between Israel and the militant group Hamas after Hamas infiltrated Israel’s southern border from the Gaza Strip. Israel has since declared war against Hamas and this conflict has escalated into a greater regional conflict. The ultimate effects of these events and other socio-political or geographical issues are not known but could profoundly affect global economies and markets. </div><div style="margin-top:8pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:Gill Sans MT">The ongoing trade war between China and the United States, including the imposition of tariffs by each country on the other country’s products, has created a tense political environment. These actions may trigger a significant reduction in international trade, adverse effects in the supply of certain manufactured goods, substantial adverse price changes for goods and possible failure of individual companies and/or large segments of China’s export industry and U.S. importers, which could have a negative impact on the Fund’s performance. U.S. companies that source material and goods from China and those that make large amounts of sales in China would are vulnerable to an escalation of trade tensions. Beginning in early 2025, the United States also imposed tariffs on other countries, including Mexico and Canada. The possibility of additional tariffs being imposed or the outbreak of a trade war may adversely impact U.S. and international markets. Uncertainty regarding the outcome of the trade tensions and the potential for a trade war could cause the U.S. dollar to decline further. Events such as these and their consequences are difficult to predict and it is unclear whether further tariffs may be imposed or other escalating actions may be taken in the future. Additionally, political uncertainty regarding U.S. policy, including the U.S. government’s approach to trade, may impact the markets and the Fund’s performance. </div><div style="margin-top:8pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:Gill Sans MT">The U.S. Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) has in the past sharply raised interest rates, and has signaled an intention to maintain relatively higher interest rates until current inflation levels re-align with the Fed’s long-term inflation target. Changing interest rate environments impact the various sectors of the economy in different ways. For example, in March 2023, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) was appointed receiver for each of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank, the second- and third-largest bank failures in U.S. history, which failures may be attributable, in part, to rising interest rates. Bank failures may have a destabilizing impact on the broader banking industry or markets generally. </div><div style="margin-top:8pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:Gill Sans MT">The impact of these developments in the near- and long-term is unknown and could have additional adverse effects on economies, financial markets and asset valuations around the world. </div> <div style="margin-top:8pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:Gill Sans MT"><div style="font-family:Calibri;display:inline;"><div style="font-weight:bold;display:inline;">Fund Tax Risk</div></div><div style="font-family:Gill Sans MT;display:inline;"><div style="font-style:italic;display:inline;">.</div> The Fund has elected to be treated and intends to qualify each year as a Regulated Investment Company (“RIC”) under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). As a RIC, the Fund is not expected to be subject to U.S. federal income tax to the extent that it distributes its investment company taxable income and net capital gains. To qualify for the special tax treatment available to a RIC, the Fund must comply with certain investment, distribution, and diversification requirements. Under certain circumstances, the Fund may be forced to sell certain assets when it is not advantageous in order to meet these requirements, which may reduce the Fund’s overall return. If the Fund fails to meet any of these requirements, subject to the opportunity to cure such failures under applicable provisions of the Code, the Fund’s income would be subject to a double level of U.S. federal income tax. The Fund’s income, including its net capital gain, would first be subject to U.S. federal income tax at regular corporate rates, even if such income were distributed to shareholders and, second, all distributions by the Fund from earnings and profits, including distributions of net capital gain (if any), would be taxable to shareholders as dividends. </div></div> The purpose of the tables and the example below are to help you understand all fees and expenses that you, as a common shareholder, would bear directly or indirectly. The tables show the expenses of each Fund as a percentage of the average net assets applicable to Common Shares and not as a percentage of total assets or managed assets. <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="text-align:start;
