&lt;p style="font: bold 11pt/12pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 4pt 0 1pt"&gt;Objectives.&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
Trust seeks current income with total return as a secondary objective. Under normal circumstances, the Trust will invest at least 80%
of its assets in closed-end funds which invest at least 80% of their assets in equity securities of companies headquartered or incorporated
in the United States.&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;When
selecting closed-end funds for this portfolio, we generally look at several factors including:&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;&#x2022;
&lt;i&gt;Premium or discount&lt;/i&gt;: We favor funds which are trading at a discount to net asset value.&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;&#x2022;
&lt;i&gt;Consistent dividend&lt;/i&gt;: We favor funds which have a history of paying a consistent dividend. There is, however, no guarantee that
the issuers of the securities included in the portfolio will declare dividends in the future.&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;&#x2022;
&lt;i&gt;Expense ratio&lt;/i&gt;: We favor funds which have a lower than average expense ratio relative to their peers.&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;&#x2022;
&lt;i&gt;Diversification&lt;/i&gt;: We provide a diversified exposure of funds from a variety of companies and managers.&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;The
Closed-End Funds were selected by our research department based on a number of factors including, but not limited to, the size and liquidity
of the Closed-End Fund, the current dividend yield of the Closed-End Fund, the quality and character of the securities held by the Closed-End
Fund, and the expense ratio of the Closed-End Fund, while attempting to limit the overlap of the securities held by the Closed-End Funds.&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;While not a part of the Trust&#x2019;s portfolio
selection process, the Trust has exposure to derivative instruments, &lt;span style="letter-spacing: -0.05pt"&gt;options and companies with
various market capitalizations through the Trust&#x2019;s investment in the Funds. &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;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;
