and Strategies&lt;/b&gt;,&#x201d; under &#x201c;&lt;b&gt;Principal Investment Strategy&lt;/b&gt;,&#x201d; please delete the second paragraph in the entirety

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;Additionally, the Fund may invest in convertible
securities and preferred securities, and these investments will count toward the 80% policy noted above. The Fund may also engage in when-issued
and delayed delivery transactions (such as to-be-announced mortgage-backed securities), which involve a commitment by the Fund to purchase
securities that will be issued at a later date. The Fund may also hold short-term securities including cash, cash equivalents and other
debt obligations. For purposes of satisfying the Fund&#x2019;s 80% policy, the Fund may include any cash and cash equivalents that cover
unfunded commitments that the Fund reasonably expects to be called in the future.&lt;/p&gt;
