&lt;p style="font: 10pt/10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 2pt 0; text-indent: 0.25in"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal"&gt;The Trust
seeks current monthly income and capital appreciation. Under normal circumstances, the Trust will invest at least 80% of its assets in
Funds which invest at least 80% of their assets in convertible securities and/or income-producing securities. Convertible securities are
bonds, preferred stocks, and other securities that pay interest or dividends and are convertible into common stocks. All of the Funds
held by the Trust invest in convertible securities and all of the Funds also invest in contingent convertible securities (&#x201c;CoCos&#x201d;).
CoCos are hybrid debt securities typically issued by banking institutions and either convert into equity at a predetermined share price
or are written down in value based on the specific terms of the individual security if a pre-specified trigger event occurs. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: bold 11pt/12pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 4pt 0 1pt"&gt;Portfolio Selection Process.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 2pt; text-indent: 0.25in"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: -0.05pt"&gt;The
Closed-End Funds and ETFs were selected by our research department based on the following factors. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 2pt; text-indent: 0.25in"&gt;The Closed-End Funds are selected based
on a number of factors including, but not limited to, the size and liquidity of the Closed-End Fund (prioritizing Closed-End Funds with
higher average daily trading volumes), the premium or discount of the Closed-End Fund (generally excluding Closed-End Funds with a premium
greater than 10%, Closed-End Funds with a lower premium or discount than what they have historically been trading at and Closed-End Funds
with a premium or discount less favorable than those of its peer funds) and the current dividend yield of the Closed-End Fund (prioritizing
those with the highest dividend yields). The Sponsor does not require specific credit quality, maturity, or duration policies when selecting
the closed-end funds for the portfolio.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 2pt; text-indent: 0.25in"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: -0.05pt"&gt;The
ETFs are selected based on a number of factors, including, but not limited to the size and liquidity of the ETF (requiring a minimum market
capitalization of $50,000,000) and the current dividend yield of the ETF (prioritizing those with the highest dividend yields). The Trust&#x2019;s
portfolio may include both actively managed ETFs and ETFs that track an index.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 2pt; text-indent: 0.25in"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: -0.05pt"&gt;All
other factors being equal, the Sponsor will select the Closed-End Funds and ETFs with lower expense ratios, while attempting to limit
the overlap of the securities held by the Closed-End Funds and ETFs.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-indent: 0.25in"&gt;While not a part of the Trust&#x2019;s portfolio
selection process, the Trust has exposure to high-yield securities, investment grade securities and options through the Trust&#x2019;s
investment in the Funds.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 2pt; text-indent: 0.25in"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: -0.05pt"&gt;As
with any similar investments, there can be no guarantee that the objectives of the Trust will be achieved. See &#x201c;Risk Factors&#x201d;
for a discussion of the risks of investing in the Trust.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
