&lt;p style="font: bold 11pt/12pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;Objectives.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.25in"&gt;The Trust seeks high current monthly income,
with capital appreciation 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, and the Trust&#x2019;s exposure to non-U.S. securities will be at
least 40% of its net assets.&lt;/p&gt;

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

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.25in"&gt;The Trust invests in a pool of closed-end
funds which invest in global dividend-paying stocks.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.25in"&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;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.25in"&gt;While not a part of the Trust&#x2019;s portfolio
selection process, through the Trust&#x2019;s investment in the Funds, the Trust has exposure to derivative instruments, floating rate
securities, options, depositary receipts, emerging and/or developing market companies and large capitalization companies.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.25in"&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;/p&gt;
