asset value per share may be
more volatile during changing interest rate environments. Changes in fiscal, economic, monetary and other policies or measures have in the past, and may in the
future, cause or exacerbate the risks associated with changing interest rates.
Investment Focus Risk—Because the Fund invests primarily in CLOs it is susceptible to an increased risk of loss due to
adverse occurrences in the CLO market, generally, and in the various markets impacting the portfolios of loans underling these CLOs. The Fund’s CLO
investment focus may cause the Fund to perform differently than the overall financial market and the Fund’s performance may be more volatile than if the
Fund’s investments were more diversified across financial instruments and or markets.
Investment in Investment Vehicles Risk—The Fund may seek to obtain certain exposure through investments in other investment vehicles.
Investing in other investment vehicles, including ETFs, closed-end funds, short-term funds advised by the Investment Manager and/or its affiliates and mutual
funds, subjects the Fund to those risks affecting the investment vehicle, including the possibility that the value of the underlying securities held by the
investment vehicle could decrease or the portfolio becomes illiquid. Moreover, the Fund and its shareholders will incur its pro rata share of the underlying vehicles’ expenses, which will reduce the Fund’s performance. In addition, investments in an ETF or a listed closed-end fund are subject to, among other risks, the risk that the shares may trade at a discount or premium relative to the net asset value of the shares and the listing exchange may halt trading of the shares.
Large Shareholder Risk—Certain large shareholders, including other funds or accounts advised by the Investment Manager
or its affiliates, may from time to time own a substantial amount of the Fund’s shares. In addition, a third-party investor, the Investment Manager or an
affiliate of the Investment Manager, an AP, a lead market maker, or another entity may invest in the Fund and hold its investment for a limited period of time
solely to facilitate commencement of the Fund or to facilitate the Fund’s achieving a specified size or scale. There can be no assurance that any large shareholder would not redeem its investment, that the size of the Fund would be maintained at such levels or that the Fund would continue to meet applicable listing requirements. Redemptions by large shareholders could have a significant negative impact on the Fund. In addition, transactions by large shareholders may account for a large percentage of the trading volume on the Exchange and may, therefore, have a material upward or downward effect on the market price of the shares.
Leverage Risk—The Fund’s use of leverage, through borrowings or
instruments such as derivatives and reverse repurchase agreements, may cause the Fund to be more volatile and riskier and magnify the Fund’s losses to an
extent greater than if it had not been leveraged. The use of leverage may also increase the Fund’s sensitivity to various risks and interest rate environments.
Liquidity and Valuation Risk—It may be difficult for the Fund to purchase and
sell particular investments to meet redemption orders or otherwise within a reasonable time at a fair price, or the price at which it has been valued by the
Investment Manager for purposes of the Fund’s net asset value, causing the Fund to be less liquid and unable to realize what the Investment Manager believes should be the price of the investment. Valuation of portfolio investments may be difficult, such as during periods of market turmoil or reduced liquidity, and for investments that may, for example, trade infrequently or irregularly. In these and other circumstances, an investment may be valued using fair value methodologies, which are inherently subjective, reflect good faith judgments based on available information and may not accurately estimate the price at which the Fund could sell the investment at that time. Liquidity and valuation risks are heightened in a changing interest rate or volatile environment, particularly for fixed-income and other debt instruments.
Management Risk—The Fund is actively managed, which means that investment
decisions are made based on investment views. There is no guarantee that the investment views will produce the desired results or expected returns. As a result of these and other factors, the Fund may lose value or fail to meet its investment objective or underperform its benchmark index or funds with similar investment objectives and strategies. Furthermore, active and frequent trading that can accompany active management, also called “high turnover,” may have a negative impact on performance. Active and frequent trading may result in higher brokerage costs or mark-up charges and tax costs, which are ultimately passed on to shareholders of the Fund. Active and frequent trading may also result in adverse tax consequences.
Market Risk—The value of, or income generated by, the investments held by the
Fund may fluctuate rapidly and unpredictably. These fluctuations may be frequent and significant. In addition, the Fund may incur losses as a result of various market and economic factors, such as those affecting (or perceived to affect) individual companies or issuers or particular industries, or from broader influences, such as general market conditions.
