Investment Objectives and Practices [Text Block]

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE, POLICIES AND STRATEGIES

 

Investment Objective and Policies

 

The Fund’s investment objective is to seek attractive risk-adjusted returns with low to moderate volatility and low correlation to the broader markets, through a concentrated alternative investment approach with an emphasis on income generation.

 

Under normal market conditions, the Fund will seek to provide attractive risk adjusted returns by taking advantage of volatility in the equity markets. The Adviser seeks to construct a diversified portfolio of structured notes in which the individual portfolio investments do not exhibit significant correlation to each other and do not draw down losses simultaneously. The adviser’s strategy centers around creating optionality by laddering short-term structured notes (that is, purchasing notes with different maturity dates) which can generate attractive coupon yields when the underlying reference asset trades within a predetermined price range.

 

The Fund may employ leverage, including borrowing from banks in an amount of up to 33% of the Fund’s assets (defined as net assets plus borrowing for investment purposes). The Fund is authorized to borrow money in connection with its investment activities, subject to the limits of the asset coverage requirement of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The Fund also may borrow money to satisfy repurchase requests from Fund shareholders and to otherwise provide the Fund with temporary liquidity. The 1940 Act requires a registered investment company to satisfy an asset coverage requirement of 300% of its indebtedness, including amounts borrowed, measured at the time indebtedness occurs. This means that the value of the Fund’s total indebtedness may not exceed one-third of the value of its total assets, including the value of the assets purchased with the proceeds of its indebtedness.

 

The Statement of Additional Information contains a list of the fundamental (those that may not be changed without a shareholder vote) and non-fundamental (if any) investment policies of the Fund under the heading “Investment Objective and Policies.”

 

Investment Strategy and Criteria Used in Selecting Investments

 

Under normal market conditions, the Fund will seek to provide attractive risk adjusted returns by taking advantage of volatility in the equity markets. The Adviser seeks to construct a diversified portfolio of structured notes in which the individual portfolio investments do not exhibit significant correlation to each other and do not draw down losses simultaneously. The Adviser’s strategy centers around creating optionality by laddering short-term structured notes (that is, purchasing notes with different maturity dates) which can generate attractive coupon yields when the underlying reference asset trades within a predetermined price range. Each investment seeks to generate income while providing a cushion before loss of principal can occur (as discussed below).

 

An example of an investment that the Fund expects to invest in is a structured note linked to the performance of an individual common stock. The Fund will invest primarily in such structured notes. To illustrate, the Fund may purchase a structured note issued by a third-party issuer with a twelve-month maturity, quarterly observation dates and a 50% barrier, which references the performance of a common stock. Each quarter on the specified observation date, the coupon (that is, interest) will be paid to the Fund by the issuer if the reference common stock trades within the predetermined price range (i.e., above the 50% barrier in this instance and below a specified upper limit). If, on a particular observation date, the price of the reference common stock breaches the upper limit, the note will be called by the issuer, and the coupon and principal paid to the Fund by the issuer. If, on a particular observation date (not the maturity date), the reference common stock trades below the barrier, no coupon will be paid in that period and the note will remain outstanding.

 

At maturity, if the closing price of the reference common stock is above the barrier, the full amount of principal and coupon will be paid to the Fund by the issuer, and in most instances previously missed coupons will be paid as well. Conversely, if at maturity, the price of the reference common stock trades below the barrier, it will result in a loss of the amount of principal paid to the Fund by the issuer in an amount proportionate to the decline in the price of the reference common stock. To help to minimize overall downside risk for the Fund’s portfolio, the Fund seeks to invest in 20-40 short-term structured notes that are diversified across industry, company, observation dates, maturity dates, barrier levels and issuers. The number of structured notes held by the Fund at any one time may vary and may be less than 20 or more than 40 from time to time.

 

The Fund will primarily purchase structured notes from counterparty issuers that are rated investment grade or better (or issuers that are fully guaranteed by an investment grade rated parent company). At the time of investment, The Fund will not have (i) more than 10% of its assets in structured notes issued by counterparty issuers that are unrated or rated below investment grade; and (ii) more than 5% of the Fund’s assets invested in any single counterparty issuer that is unrated or rated below investment grade.

 

The Adviser will invest in structured notes that have individual domestic and foreign equity securities, baskets of several equity securities, market indices and commodities as their reference assets. The Adviser may enter in swap agreements that have similar investment characteristics to the structured notes in which the Fund directly invests.

 

While it is anticipated that many of the structured notes held by the Fund will be designed to perform well when the reference common stock increases in price (i.e. positive correlation), other structured notes may seek negative correlation by being designed to perform well when the underlying reference common stock declines in value.

 

In seeking to provide attractive risk-adjusted returns and to mitigate downside risk, the adviser:

1. Diversifies the underlying reference equity assets
2. Constructs a portfolio with varied maturity dates for each structured note
3. Adjusts the Fund’s use of positively and negatively correlated structured notes; and
4. Uses multiple counterparties (or issuers) that are deemed credit-worthy by the Adviser

 

Other Information Regarding Investment Strategy

 

The Fund may, from time to time, take defensive positions that are inconsistent with the Fund’s principal investment strategy in attempting to respond to adverse market, economic, political or other conditions. During such times, the Adviser may determine that the Fund should invest up to 100% of its assets in cash or cash equivalents, including money market instruments, prime commercial paper, repurchase agreements, Treasury bills and other short-term obligations of the U.S. Government, its agencies or instrumentalities. In these and in other cases, the Fund may not achieve its investment objective. The Adviser may invest the Fund’s cash balances in any investments it deems appropriate. The Adviser expects that such investments will be made, without limitation and as permitted under the 1940 Act, in money market funds, repurchase agreements, U.S. Treasury and U.S. agency securities, municipal bonds and bank accounts. Any income earned from such investments is ordinarily reinvested by the Fund in accordance with its investment program. Many of the considerations entering into recommendations and decisions of the Adviser and the Fund’s portfolio manager are subjective.

 

The Fund has no current intent to sell securities short. The Fund does not intend to use leverage through issuing preferred shares. However, the Board may decide to issue preferred shares in the future, subject to the asset coverage requirements of the 1940 Act. The Fund may borrow for investment purposes, for temporary liquidity, or to finance repurchases of its shares, as permitted under the 1940 Act. In addition, the Fund may be deemed to incur economic leverage embedded in instruments in which it may invest.

 

The frequency and amount of portfolio purchases and sales (known as the “portfolio turnover rate”) will vary from year to year. The portfolio turnover rate may exceed 100%, may vary greatly from year to year and will not be a limiting factor when the Adviser deems portfolio changes appropriate. The portfolio turnover rate for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2026 was approximately 157.24%. Although the Fund generally does not intend to trade for short-term profits, the Fund may engage in short-term trading strategies, and securities may be sold without regard to the length of time held when, in the opinion of the Adviser, investment considerations warrant such action. These policies may have the effect of increasing the annual rate of portfolio turnover of the Fund. Higher rates of portfolio turnover would likely result in higher brokerage commissions and may generate short-term capital gains taxable as ordinary income. If securities are not held for the applicable holding periods, dividends paid on them will not qualify for the advantageous federal tax rates. See “Tax Status” in the Fund’s SAI.

 

There is no assurance what portion, if any, of the Fund’s investments will qualify for the reduced federal income tax rates applicable to qualified dividends under the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”). As a result, there can be no assurance as to what portion of the Fund’s distributions will be designated as qualified dividend income. See “U.S. Federal Income Tax Matters.”

 

Portfolio Investments

 

The Fund may invest in the following types of securities, subject to certain limitations as set forth below. The Fund is under no obligation to invest in any of these securities.

 

Structured Notes

 

The Fund invests primarily in structured notes. These instruments are notes where the principal and/or interest rate or value of the structured note is determined by reference to the performance of an underlying reference asset. Underlying reference assets may include a security or other financial instrument though the Fund primarily invests in structured notes that reference the performance of a particular underlying equity security. The Fund may also invest in structured notes that reference the performance of a basket of equity securities, a market index or a commodity. The interest and/or principal payments that may be made on a structured note may vary widely, depending on a variety of factors, including the volatility of the underlying reference asset. The performance results of structured notes will not replicate exactly the performance of the underlying reference asset that the notes seek to replicate due to transaction costs and other expenses. Issuers of structured notes can vary and may include corporations, banks, broker-dealers and limited purpose trusts or other vehicles. Structured notes may be exchange-traded or traded OTC and privately negotiated.

 

Investments in structured notes involve many of the same risks associated with a direct investment in the underlying reference asset the notes seek to replicate. Structured notes may be considered hybrid instruments as they may exhibit features of both fixed income securities and derivatives. The return on a structured note that is linked to a particular underlying reference asset that pays dividends generally is increased to the extent of any dividends paid in connection with the underlying reference asset. However, the holder of a structured note typically does not receive voting rights and other rights as it would if it directly owned the underlying reference asset. In addition, structured notes are subject to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the issuer of the structured note will not fulfill its contractual obligation to complete the transaction with a Fund. Structured notes constitute general unsecured contractual obligations of the issuer of the note and the Fund is relying on the creditworthiness of such issuer and has no rights under a structured note against the issuer of an underlying reference asset. Structured notes involve transaction costs. Structured notes may be considered illiquid.

 

Swap Agreements

 

Swap agreements are two-party contracts entered into primarily by institutional investors for periods ranging from a few weeks to more than one year. In a standard “swap” transaction, two parties agree to exchange the returns (or differentials in rates of returns) earned or realized on particular predetermined investments or instruments. The gross returns to be exchanged or “swapped” between the parties are calculated with respect to a “notional amount,” i.e., the return on or increase in value of a particular dollar amount invested at a particular interest rate, in a particular foreign currency, or in a “basket” of securities representing a particular index. The “notional amount” of the swap agreement is only a fictive basis on which to calculate the obligations the parties to a swap agreement have agreed to exchange. The Fund’s obligations (or rights) under a swap agreement will generally be equal only to the amount to be paid or received under the agreement based on the relative values of the positions held by each party to the agreement (the “net amount”). The Fund’s obligations under a swap agreement will be accrued daily (offset against any amounts owing to the Fund) and any accrued but unpaid net amounts owed to a swap counterparty will be covered by the maintenance of a segregated account consisting of cash, U.S. government securities, or other liquid securities, to avoid leveraging of the Fund’s portfolio.

 

Convertible Securities

 

Convertible securities are bonds, debentures, notes, preferred stocks and other securities that pay interest or dividends and are convertible into or exchangeable for common stocks. Convertible securities generally have some features of common stocks and some features of debt securities. In general, a convertible security performs more like a stock when the underlying stock’s price is high relative to the conversion price (because it is assumed that it will be converted into the stock) and performs more like a debt security when the underlying stock’s price is low relative to the conversion price (because it is assumed that it will mature without being converted). Convertible securities typically pay an income yield that is higher than the dividend yield of the issuer’s common stock, but lower than the yield of the issuer’s debt securities.

Risk Factors [Table Text Block]

RISK FACTORS

 

An investment in the Fund’s shares is subject to risks. The value of the Fund’s investments will increase or decrease based on changes in the prices of the investments it holds. This will cause the value of the Fund’s shares to increase or decrease. You could lose money by investing in the Fund. By itself, the Fund does not constitute a complete investment program. Before investing in the Fund, you should carefully consider the following risks the Fund faces through its investments. There may be additional risks that the Fund does not currently foresee or consider material. You may wish to consult with your legal or tax advisors, before deciding whether to invest in the Fund.

 

Structured Note Risk. The Fund will primarily invest in structured notes. The structured notes may include investments in structured products, securitizations and other asset-backed securities. Among other risks, the notes (i) are subject to the risks associated with the underlying assets; (ii) will often be leveraged, which will generally magnify the opportunities for gain and risk of loss; (iii) are highly complex, which may cause disputes as to their terms and impact the valuation and liquidity of such positions; and (iv) often contain significant obstacles to asserting “putback” or similar claims against the notes.

 

Risk of Loss at Maturity. The notes differ from ordinary debt securities in that the issuer will not necessarily pay the full principal amount of the notes at maturity. If the notes are not called, the issuer will repay the Fund the principal amount of the notes in cash only if the final price of the underlying asset is equal to or greater than the trigger price and will only make such payment at maturity. If the notes are not called and the final price is less than the trigger price, the Fund will be exposed to the negative underlying return and lose a significant portion or all of its initial investment in an amount proportionate to the decline in the price of the underlying asset.

 

Contingent Repayment of the Fund’s Principal Applies Only at Maturity. The Fund expects to hold the notes to maturity. If the Fund is able to sell its notes prior to maturity in the secondary market, it may have to sell them at a loss relative to its initial investment even if the then-current underlying asset price is equal to or greater than the trigger price at that time.

 

The Fund May Not Receive Any Contingent Coupons. The issuer will not necessarily pay periodic contingent coupons on the notes. If the closing price of the underlying asset on an observation date is less than the coupon barrier, the issuer will not pay the Fund the contingent coupon applicable to such observation date. If the closing price of the underlying asset is less than the coupon barrier on each of the observation dates, the issuer will not pay the Fund any contingent coupons during the term of, and you will not receive a positive return on, the notes. Generally, this non-payment of the contingent coupon coincides with a period of greater risk of principal loss on the notes.

 

The Fund’s Potential Return on the Notes is Limited and It Will Not Participate in any Appreciation of the Underlying Asset. The return potential of the notes is limited to the contingent coupon rate, regardless of the appreciation of the underlying asset. In addition, the total return on the notes will vary based on the number of observation dates on which the requirements of the contingent coupon have been met prior to maturity or an automatic call. Further, if the notes are called due to the automatic call feature, you will not receive any contingent coupons or any other payment in respect of any observation dates after the applicable call settlement date. Since the notes could be called as early as the first observation date, the total return on the notes could be minimal. If the notes are not called, you will not participate in any appreciation in the price of the underlying asset even though you will be subject to the underlying asset’s risk of decline. As a result, the return on an investment in the notes could be less than the return on a direct investment in the underlying asset.

 

Higher Contingent Coupon Rates are Generally Associated with a Greater Risk of Loss. Greater expected volatility with respect to the underlying asset reflects a higher expectation as of the trade date that the price of such underlying asset could close below its trigger price on the final valuation date of the notes. This greater expected risk will generally be reflected in a higher contingent coupon rate for that note. However, an underlying asset’s volatility can change significantly over the term of the notes and the price of the underlying asset for your notes could fall sharply, which could result in a significant loss of principal.

 

Reinvestment Risk. The notes will be called automatically if the closing price of the underlying asset is equal to or greater than the initial price on any observation date. In the event that the notes are called prior to maturity, there is no guarantee that you will be able to reinvest the proceeds from an investment in the notes at a comparable rate of return for a similar level of risk. To the extent you are able to reinvest such proceeds in an investment comparable to the notes, you will incur transaction costs and the original issue price for such an investment is likely to include certain built-in costs such as dealer discounts and hedging costs.

 

Greater Expected Volatility Generally Indicates an Increased Risk of Loss at Maturity. “Volatility” refers to the frequency and magnitude of changes in the price of the underlying asset. The greater the expected volatility of the underlying asset as of the trade date, the greater the expectation is as of the trade date that the closing price of the underlying asset could be less than the coupon barrier on any observation date and that the final price of the underlying asset could be less than the trigger price on the final valuation date and, as a consequence, indicates an increased risk of loss. However, the underlying asset’s volatility can change significantly over the term of the notes, and a relatively lower coupon barrier and/or trigger price may not necessarily indicate that the notes have a greater likelihood of a return of principal at maturity. You should be willing to accept the downside market risk of the underlying asset and the potential to lose a significant portion or all of your initial investment.

 

General Credit Risk. The Fund is subject to significant credit risk (i.e., the risk that an issuer or borrower will default in the payment of principal and/or interest on an instrument) in light of its investment strategy. Credit risk also includes the risk that a counterparty to a derivatives transaction (e.g., a swap counterparty or futures commission merchant) will be unwilling or unable to meet its obligations. Financial strength and solvency of an issuer or borrower are the primary factors influencing credit risk. In addition, degree of subordination, lack or inadequacy of collateral or credit enhancement for a debt instrument may affect its credit risk. Investments in stressed or distressed companies inherently have more credit risk than do similar investments in other companies. The degree of credit risk associated with any particular Portfolio Investment or any collateral relating thereto may be difficult or impossible for the Adviser to determine within reasonable standards of predictability. The Adviser also expects to utilize various third parties that hold Fund assets (such as the prime broker) in implementing the Fund’s investment strategy, and the Fund will therefore also be subject to credit risk with respect to such entities.

 

Credit Risk of the Issuer. The notes are unsubordinated, unsecured debt obligations of the issuer, and are not, either directly or indirectly, an obligation of any third party. Any payment to be made on the notes, including any repayment of principal, depends on the ability of the issuer to satisfy its obligations as they come due. As a result, the actual and perceived creditworthiness of the issuer may affect the market value of the notes and, in the event the issuer were to default on its obligations, you may not receive any amounts owed to you under the terms of the notes and you could lose your entire investment.

 

Common Stock Risk. The value of the Fund will fluctuate based on changes in the value of the equity securities which are used as underlying reference assets for the structured notes held by the Fund. Common stock prices can fall rapidly in response to developments affecting a specific company or industry, or to changing economic, political or market conditions. Stock prices in general may decline over short or even extended periods of time. Market prices of equity securities in broad market segments may be adversely affected by a prominent issuer having experienced losses or by the lack of earnings or such an issuer’s failure to meet the market’s expectations with respect to new products or services, or even by factors wholly unrelated to the value or condition of the issuer, such as changes in interest rates. The risks that are associated with investing in common stock include the financial risk of purchasing individual companies that perform poorly, the risk that the stock markets in which the common stock purchased by the Fund trade may experience periods of turbulence and instability, and the general risk that domestic and foreign economies may go through periods of decline and cycles of change. Many factors affect an individual company’s performance, such as the strength of its management or the demand for its services or products. You should be aware that the value of a company’s share price may decline as a result of poor decisions made by management or lower demand for the company’s services or products. In addition, a company’s share price may also decline if its earnings or revenues fall short of expectations. There are also risks associated with the stock market overall. Over time, stock markets tend to move in cycles, with periods when stock prices rise generally and periods when stock prices decline generally. The value of the Fund’s investments may increase or decrease more than the stock market in general.

 

Fixed Income Risk. When the Fund invests in fixed income securities, the value of your investment in the Fund will fluctuate with changes in interest rates. Typically, a rise in interest rates causes a decline in the value of fixed income securities. In general, the market price of debt securities with longer maturities will increase or decrease more in response to changes in interest rates than shorter-term securities. Other risk factors include credit risk (the debtor may default) and prepayment risk (the debtor may pay its obligation early, reducing the amount of interest payments). These risks could affect the value of a particular investment, possibly causing the Fund’s share price and total return to be reduced and fluctuate more than other types of investments.

 

Junk Bond Risk. Lower-quality fixed income securities, known as “high yield” or “junk” bonds, present a significant risk for loss of principal and interest. These bonds offer the potential for higher return, but also involve greater risk than bonds of higher quality, including an increased possibility that the bond’s issuer, obligor or guarantor may not be able to make its payments of interest and principal (credit quality risk). If that happens, the value of the bond may decrease, and the Fund’s share price may decrease and its income distribution may be reduced. An economic downturn or period of rising interest rates (interest rate risk) could adversely affect the market for these bonds and reduce the Fund’s ability to sell its bonds (liquidity risk). Such securities may also include “Rule 144A” securities, which are subject to resale restrictions. The lack of a liquid market for these bonds could decrease the Fund’s share price.

 

Foreign Risk. Investments in structured notes that have foreign equity securities as reference assets could subject the Fund to greater risks because the Fund’s performance may depend on issues other than the performance of a particular company or U.S. market sector. Changes in foreign economies and political climates are more likely to affect the Fund than a mutual fund that invests exclusively in U.S. securities. The values of foreign securities are also affected by the value of the local currency relative to the U.S. dollar. There may also be less government supervision of foreign markets, resulting in non-uniform accounting practices and less publicly available information. The values of foreign investments may be affected by changes in exchange control regulations, application of foreign tax laws (including withholding tax), changes in governmental administration or economic or monetary policy (in this country or abroad) or changed circumstances in dealings between nations. In addition, foreign brokerage commissions, custody fees and other costs of investing in foreign securities are generally higher than in the United States. Investments in foreign issues could be affected by other factors not present in the United States, including expropriation, armed conflict, confiscatory taxation, and potential difficulties in enforcing contractual obligations and foreign securities may be more illiquid that domestic securities.

 

Commodities Risk. The Fund may invest in structured notes that have commodities as their reference asset. Investment exposure to the commodities markets may subject the Fund to greater volatility than investments in traditional securities. Commodity prices may be influenced by unfavorable weather, animal and plant disease, geologic and environmental factors as well as changes in government regulation such as tariffs, embargoes or burdensome production rules and restrictions.

 

Issuer Risk. The value of a specific security can be more volatile than the market as a whole and can perform differently from the value of the market as a whole. As a non-diversified fund, the Fund may invest more than 5% of its total assets in the securities of one or more issuers. The Fund’s performance may be more sensitive to any single economic, business, political or regulatory occurrence than the value of shares of a diversified investment company. The value of an issuer’s securities that are held in the Fund’s portfolio may decline for a number of reasons which directly relate to the issuer, such as management performance, financial leverage and reduced demand for the issuer’s goods and services.

 

Leveraging Risk. The use of leverage, such as borrowing money to purchase securities, by the Fund will magnify the Fund’s gains or losses. Generally, the use of leverage also will cause the Fund to have higher expenses (especially interest and/or short selling-related dividend expenses) than those of funds that do not use such techniques. In addition, a lender to the Fund may terminate or refuse to renew any credit facility. If the Fund is unable to access additional credit, it may be forced to sell investments at inopportune times, which may further depress the returns of the Fund.

 

Liquidity Risk. The Fund is a closed-end investment company structured as an “interval fund” and designed for long-term investors. Unlike many closed-end investment companies, the Fund’s shares are not listed on any securities exchange and are not publicly traded. There is currently no secondary market for the shares and the Fund expects that no secondary market will develop. Limited liquidity is provided to shareholders only through the Fund’s quarterly repurchase offers for no less than 5% of the shares outstanding at net asset value. There is no guarantee that shareholders will be able to sell all of the shares they desire in a quarterly repurchase offer. The Fund’s investments are also subject to liquidity risk. Liquidity risk exists when particular investments of the Fund would be difficult to purchase or sell, possibly preventing the Fund from selling such illiquid securities at an advantageous time or price, or possibly requiring the Fund to dispose of other investments at unfavorable times or prices in order to satisfy its obligations. Funds with principal investment strategies that involve securities of companies with smaller market capitalizations, derivatives or securities with substantial market and/or credit risk tend to have the greatest exposure to liquidity risk.

 

Market Risk. The Fund may be materially affected by market, economic and political conditions globally and in the jurisdictions and sectors in which it invests or operates, including factors affecting interest rates, the availability of credit, currency exchange rates and trade barriers. These factors are outside the Adviser’s control and could adversely affect the liquidity and value of the Fund’s investments, and may reduce the ability of the Fund to make attractive new investments.

 

In particular, economic and financial market conditions began to significantly deteriorate around 2007 as compared to prior periods. Global financial markets experienced considerable declines in the valuations of debt and equity securities, an acute contraction in the availability of credit and the failure of a number of leading financial institutions. As a result, certain government bodies and central banks worldwide, including the U.S. Treasury Department and the U.S. Federal Reserve, undertook unprecedented intervention programs, the continuous long-term effects of which remain uncertain. Subsequently, the COVID-19 global pandemic beginning in early 2020 also had negative impacts, and in many cases severe negative impacts, on markets worldwide.

 

More recently, the United States has enacted or proposed to enact significant new tariffs, and various federal agencies have been directed to further evaluate key aspects of U.S. trade policy, which could potentially lead to significant changes to current policies, treaties, and tariffs. Significant uncertainty continues to exist about the future relationship between the U.S. and other countries with respect to such trade policies, treaties and tariffs. These developments, or the perception that any of them could occur, may have a material adverse effect on global trade, in particular, trade between the impacted nations and the U.S.; the stability of global financial markets; and global economic conditions. Trends and historical events do not imply, forecast or predict future events and past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results. There can be no assurance that the assumptions made or the beliefs and expectations currently held by the Adviser will prove correct, and actual events and circumstances may vary significantly.

 

The Fund may be subject to risk arising from a default by one of several large institutions that are dependent on one another to meet their liquidity or operational needs, so that a default by one institution may cause a series of defaults by the other institutions. This is sometimes referred to as “systemic risk” and may adversely affect financial intermediaries, such as clearing agencies, clearing houses, banks, securities firms and exchanges, with which the Fund interacts on a daily basis.

 

It is not known how long any future impacts of the significant events described above, will or would last, but there could be a prolonged period of global economic slowdown, which may impact your Fund investment. Therefore, the Fund could lose money over short.

 

Convertible Securities Risk. The value of a convertible security, which is a form of hybrid security (i.e., a security with both debt and equity characteristics), typically increases or decreases with the price of the underlying common stock. In general, a convertible security is subject to the market risks of stocks, and its price may be as volatile as that of the underlying stock, when the underlying stock’s price is high relative to the conversion price, and a convertible security is subject to the market risks of debt securities, and is particularly sensitive to changes in interest rates, when the underlying stock’s price is low relative to the conversion price. The general market risks of debt securities that are common to convertible securities include, but are not limited to, interest rate risk and credit risk -- that is, the value of convertible securities will move in the direction opposite to movements in interest rates; they are subject to the risk that the issuer will not be able to pay interest or dividends when due; and their market value may change based on changes in the issuer’s credit rating or the market’s perception of the issuer’s creditworthiness. Because their value can be influenced by many different factors, convertible securities generally have less potential for gain or loss than the underlying common stocks. Securities that are convertible other than at the option of the holder generally do not limit the potential for loss to the same extent as securities that are convertible only at the option of the holder.

 

Many convertible securities have credit ratings that are below investment grade and are subject to the same risks as an investment in lower-rated debt securities (commonly known as “junk bonds”). Lower-rated debt securities may fluctuate more widely in price and yield than investment grade debt securities and may fall in price during times when the economy is weak or is expected to become weak. The credit rating of a company’s convertible securities is generally lower than that of its non-convertible debt securities. Convertible securities are normally considered “junior” securities—that is, the company usually must pay interest on its non-convertible debt securities before it can make payments on its convertible securities. If the issuer stops paying interest or principal, convertible securities may become worthless and the Fund could lose its entire investment. To the extent the Fund invests in convertible securities issued by small- or mid-cap companies, it will be subject to the risks of investing in such companies.

 

Medium and Small Capitalization Company Risk. Medium or small capitalization companies may be newly formed or have limited product lines, distribution channels and financial and managerial resources. The risks associated with these investments are generally greater than those associated with investments in the securities of larger, more-established companies. This may cause the Fund’s net asset value to be more volatile when compared to investment companies that focus only on large capitalization companies. Generally, securities of medium and small capitalization companies are more likely to experience sharper swings in market values, less liquid markets, in which it may be more difficult for the Adviser to sell at times and at prices that the Adviser believes appropriate and generally are more volatile than those of larger companies. Compared to large companies, smaller companies are more likely to have (i) less information publicly available, (ii) more limited product lines or markets and less mature businesses, (iii) fewer capital resources, (iv) more limited management depth and (v) shorter operating histories.

 

Repurchase Policy Risks. Quarterly repurchases by the Fund of its shares typically will be funded from available cash or sales of portfolio securities. However, payment for repurchased shares may require the Fund to liquidate portfolio holdings earlier than the Adviser otherwise would liquidate such holdings, potentially resulting in losses, and may increase the Fund’s portfolio turnover. The Adviser may take measures to attempt to avoid or minimize such potential losses and turnover, and instead of liquidating portfolio holdings, may borrow money to finance repurchases of shares. If the Fund borrows to finance repurchases, interest on any such borrowing will negatively affect shareholders who do not tender their shares in a repurchase offer by increasing the Fund’s expenses and reducing any net investment income. To the extent the Fund finances repurchase proceeds by selling investments, the Fund may hold a larger proportion of its net assets in less liquid securities. Also, the sale of securities to fund repurchases could reduce the market price of those securities, which in turn would reduce the Fund’s net asset value.

 

Repurchase of shares will tend to reduce the amount of outstanding shares and, depending upon the Fund’s investment performance, its net assets. A reduction in the Fund’s net assets may increase the Fund’s expense ratio, to the extent that additional shares are not sold. In addition, the repurchase of shares by the Fund may be a taxable event to shareholders.

 

Sector Risk. The Fund’s investments may be focused in securities of a particular sector through its investment in structured notes and other investments. Economic, legislative or regulatory developments may occur that significantly affect the sector. This may cause the Fund’s net asset value to fluctuate more than that of a fund that does not focus in a particular sector.

 

Swap Risk. The Fund’s use of swaps involves risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities and other traditional investments. Swaps are subject to tracking risk because they may not be perfect substitutes for the instruments they are intended to track, hedge or replace. Leverage inherent in derivatives will tend to magnify the Fund’s losses. Swap agreements are subject to the risk that the counterparty to the swap will default on its obligation to pay the Fund and the risk that the Fund will not be able to meet its obligations to pay the counterparty to the swap. In addition, there is the risk that a swap may be terminated by the Fund or the counterparty in accordance with its terms. If a swap were to terminate, the Fund may be unable to implement its investment strategies and the Fund may not be able to seek to achieve its investment objective. The use of leveraged derivatives can magnify the Fund’s potential for loss and, therefore, amplify the effects of market volatility on the Fund’s share price. Derivative prices are highly volatile and may fluctuate substantially during a short period of time. Swap agreements may also involve fees, commissions or other costs that may reduce the Fund’s gains from a swap agreement or may cause the Fund to lose money.

 

Tax Risk. The income and gains from certain of the Fund’s investments may not allow the Fund to be treated as a regulated investment company under the Code. If the Fund fails to qualify as a regulated investment company under the Code in any fiscal year, it will be treated as a corporation for federal income tax purposes. As such, the Fund would be required to pay income taxes on its income at the rates generally applicable to corporations and distributions to shareholders would be treated as taxable dividends to the extent of current or accumulated earnings and profits of the Fund.

 

Turnover Risk. A higher portfolio turnover may result in higher transactional and brokerage costs associated with the turnover which will reduce a Fund’s return, unless the securities traded can be bought and sold without corresponding commission costs. Active trading of securities may also increase a Fund’s realized capital gains or losses, which may affect the taxes you pay as a Fund shareholder.

 

Cybersecurity. The computer systems, networks and devices used by the Fund and its service providers to carry out routine business operations employ a variety of protections designed to prevent damage or interruption from computer viruses, network failures, computer and telecommunication failures, infiltration by unauthorized persons and security breaches. Despite the various protections utilized by the Fund and its service providers, systems, networks, or devices potentially can be breached. The Fund and its shareholders could be negatively impacted as a result of a cybersecurity breach.

 

Cybersecurity breaches can include unauthorized access to systems, networks, or devices; infection from computer viruses or other malicious software code; and attacks that shut down, disable, slow, or otherwise disrupt operations, business processes, or website access or functionality. Cybersecurity breaches may cause disruptions and impact the Fund’s business operations, potentially resulting in financial losses; interference with the Fund’s ability to calculate their NAV; impediments to trading; the inability of the Fund, the Adviser, and other service providers to transact business; violations of applicable privacy and other laws; regulatory fines, penalties, reputational damage, reimbursement or other compensation costs, or additional compliance costs; as well as the inadvertent release of confidential information.

Structured Note Risk [Member]  
General Description of Registrant [Abstract]  
Risk [Text Block]

Structured Note Risk. The Fund will primarily invest in structured notes. The structured notes may include investments in structured products, securitizations and other asset-backed securities. Among other risks, the notes (i) are subject to the risks associated with the underlying assets; (ii) will often be leveraged, which will generally magnify the opportunities for gain and risk of loss; (iii) are highly complex, which may cause disputes as to their terms and impact the valuation and liquidity of such positions; and (iv) often contain significant obstacles to asserting “putback” or similar claims against the notes.

 

Risk of Loss at Maturity. The notes differ from ordinary debt securities in that the issuer will not necessarily pay the full principal amount of the notes at maturity. If the notes are not called, the issuer will repay the Fund the principal amount of the notes in cash only if the final price of the underlying asset is equal to or greater than the trigger price and will only make such payment at maturity. If the notes are not called and the final price is less than the trigger price, the Fund will be exposed to the negative underlying return and lose a significant portion or all of its initial investment in an amount proportionate to the decline in the price of the underlying asset.

 

Contingent Repayment of the Fund’s Principal Applies Only at Maturity. The Fund expects to hold the notes to maturity. If the Fund is able to sell its notes prior to maturity in the secondary market, it may have to sell them at a loss relative to its initial investment even if the then-current underlying asset price is equal to or greater than the trigger price at that time.

 

The Fund May Not Receive Any Contingent Coupons. The issuer will not necessarily pay periodic contingent coupons on the notes. If the closing price of the underlying asset on an observation date is less than the coupon barrier, the issuer will not pay the Fund the contingent coupon applicable to such observation date. If the closing price of the underlying asset is less than the coupon barrier on each of the observation dates, the issuer will not pay the Fund any contingent coupons during the term of, and you will not receive a positive return on, the notes. Generally, this non-payment of the contingent coupon coincides with a period of greater risk of principal loss on the notes.

 

The Fund’s Potential Return on the Notes is Limited and It Will Not Participate in any Appreciation of the Underlying Asset. The return potential of the notes is limited to the contingent coupon rate, regardless of the appreciation of the underlying asset. In addition, the total return on the notes will vary based on the number of observation dates on which the requirements of the contingent coupon have been met prior to maturity or an automatic call. Further, if the notes are called due to the automatic call feature, you will not receive any contingent coupons or any other payment in respect of any observation dates after the applicable call settlement date. Since the notes could be called as early as the first observation date, the total return on the notes could be minimal. If the notes are not called, you will not participate in any appreciation in the price of the underlying asset even though you will be subject to the underlying asset’s risk of decline. As a result, the return on an investment in the notes could be less than the return on a direct investment in the underlying asset.

 

Higher Contingent Coupon Rates are Generally Associated with a Greater Risk of Loss. Greater expected volatility with respect to the underlying asset reflects a higher expectation as of the trade date that the price of such underlying asset could close below its trigger price on the final valuation date of the notes. This greater expected risk will generally be reflected in a higher contingent coupon rate for that note. However, an underlying asset’s volatility can change significantly over the term of the notes and the price of the underlying asset for your notes could fall sharply, which could result in a significant loss of principal.

 

Reinvestment Risk. The notes will be called automatically if the closing price of the underlying asset is equal to or greater than the initial price on any observation date. In the event that the notes are called prior to maturity, there is no guarantee that you will be able to reinvest the proceeds from an investment in the notes at a comparable rate of return for a similar level of risk. To the extent you are able to reinvest such proceeds in an investment comparable to the notes, you will incur transaction costs and the original issue price for such an investment is likely to include certain built-in costs such as dealer discounts and hedging costs.

 

Greater Expected Volatility Generally Indicates an Increased Risk of Loss at Maturity. “Volatility” refers to the frequency and magnitude of changes in the price of the underlying asset. The greater the expected volatility of the underlying asset as of the trade date, the greater the expectation is as of the trade date that the closing price of the underlying asset could be less than the coupon barrier on any observation date and that the final price of the underlying asset could be less than the trigger price on the final valuation date and, as a consequence, indicates an increased risk of loss. However, the underlying asset’s volatility can change significantly over the term of the notes, and a relatively lower coupon barrier and/or trigger price may not necessarily indicate that the notes have a greater likelihood of a return of principal at maturity. You should be willing to accept the downside market risk of the underlying asset and the potential to lose a significant portion or all of your initial investment.

 

General Credit Risk. The Fund is subject to significant credit risk (i.e., the risk that an issuer or borrower will default in the payment of principal and/or interest on an instrument) in light of its investment strategy. Credit risk also includes the risk that a counterparty to a derivatives transaction (e.g., a swap counterparty or futures commission merchant) will be unwilling or unable to meet its obligations. Financial strength and solvency of an issuer or borrower are the primary factors influencing credit risk. In addition, degree of subordination, lack or inadequacy of collateral or credit enhancement for a debt instrument may affect its credit risk. Investments in stressed or distressed companies inherently have more credit risk than do similar investments in other companies. The degree of credit risk associated with any particular Portfolio Investment or any collateral relating thereto may be difficult or impossible for the Adviser to determine within reasonable standards of predictability. The Adviser also expects to utilize various third parties that hold Fund assets (such as the prime broker) in implementing the Fund’s investment strategy, and the Fund will therefore also be subject to credit risk with respect to such entities.

 

Credit Risk of the Issuer. The notes are unsubordinated, unsecured debt obligations of the issuer, and are not, either directly or indirectly, an obligation of any third party. Any payment to be made on the notes, including any repayment of principal, depends on the ability of the issuer to satisfy its obligations as they come due. As a result, the actual and perceived creditworthiness of the issuer may affect the market value of the notes and, in the event the issuer were to default on its obligations, you may not receive any amounts owed to you under the terms of the notes and you could lose your entire investment.

 

Common Stock Risk [Member]  
General Description of Registrant [Abstract]  
Risk [Text Block]

Common Stock Risk. The value of the Fund will fluctuate based on changes in the value of the equity securities which are used as underlying reference assets for the structured notes held by the Fund. Common stock prices can fall rapidly in response to developments affecting a specific company or industry, or to changing economic, political or market conditions. Stock prices in general may decline over short or even extended periods of time. Market prices of equity securities in broad market segments may be adversely affected by a prominent issuer having experienced losses or by the lack of earnings or such an issuer’s failure to meet the market’s expectations with respect to new products or services, or even by factors wholly unrelated to the value or condition of the issuer, such as changes in interest rates. The risks that are associated with investing in common stock include the financial risk of purchasing individual companies that perform poorly, the risk that the stock markets in which the common stock purchased by the Fund trade may experience periods of turbulence and instability, and the general risk that domestic and foreign economies may go through periods of decline and cycles of change. Many factors affect an individual company’s performance, such as the strength of its management or the demand for its services or products. You should be aware that the value of a company’s share price may decline as a result of poor decisions made by management or lower demand for the company’s services or products. In addition, a company’s share price may also decline if its earnings or revenues fall short of expectations. There are also risks associated with the stock market overall. Over time, stock markets tend to move in cycles, with periods when stock prices rise generally and periods when stock prices decline generally. The value of the Fund’s investments may increase or decrease more than the stock market in general.

 

Fixed Income Risk [Member]  
General Description of Registrant [Abstract]  
Risk [Text Block]

Fixed Income Risk. When the Fund invests in fixed income securities, the value of your investment in the Fund will fluctuate with changes in interest rates. Typically, a rise in interest rates causes a decline in the value of fixed income securities. In general, the market price of debt securities with longer maturities will increase or decrease more in response to changes in interest rates than shorter-term securities. Other risk factors include credit risk (the debtor may default) and prepayment risk (the debtor may pay its obligation early, reducing the amount of interest payments). These risks could affect the value of a particular investment, possibly causing the Fund’s share price and total return to be reduced and fluctuate more than other types of investments.

 

Junk Bond Risk [Member]  
General Description of Registrant [Abstract]  
Risk [Text Block]

Junk Bond Risk. Lower-quality fixed income securities, known as “high yield” or “junk” bonds, present a significant risk for loss of principal and interest. These bonds offer the potential for higher return, but also involve greater risk than bonds of higher quality, including an increased possibility that the bond’s issuer, obligor or guarantor may not be able to make its payments of interest and principal (credit quality risk). If that happens, the value of the bond may decrease, and the Fund’s share price may decrease and its income distribution may be reduced. An economic downturn or period of rising interest rates (interest rate risk) could adversely affect the market for these bonds and reduce the Fund’s ability to sell its bonds (liquidity risk). Such securities may also include “Rule 144A” securities, which are subject to resale restrictions. The lack of a liquid market for these bonds could decrease the Fund’s share price.

 

Foreign Risk [Member]  
General Description of Registrant [Abstract]  
Risk [Text Block]

Foreign Risk. Investments in structured notes that have foreign equity securities as reference assets could subject the Fund to greater risks because the Fund’s performance may depend on issues other than the performance of a particular company or U.S. market sector. Changes in foreign economies and political climates are more likely to affect the Fund than a mutual fund that invests exclusively in U.S. securities. The values of foreign securities are also affected by the value of the local currency relative to the U.S. dollar. There may also be less government supervision of foreign markets, resulting in non-uniform accounting practices and less publicly available information. The values of foreign investments may be affected by changes in exchange control regulations, application of foreign tax laws (including withholding tax), changes in governmental administration or economic or monetary policy (in this country or abroad) or changed circumstances in dealings between nations. In addition, foreign brokerage commissions, custody fees and other costs of investing in foreign securities are generally higher than in the United States. Investments in foreign issues could be affected by other factors not present in the United States, including expropriation, armed conflict, confiscatory taxation, and potential difficulties in enforcing contractual obligations and foreign securities may be more illiquid that domestic securities.

 

Commodities Risk [Member]  
General Description of Registrant [Abstract]  
Risk [Text Block]

Commodities Risk. The Fund may invest in structured notes that have commodities as their reference asset. Investment exposure to the commodities markets may subject the Fund to greater volatility than investments in traditional securities. Commodity prices may be influenced by unfavorable weather, animal and plant disease, geologic and environmental factors as well as changes in government regulation such as tariffs, embargoes or burdensome production rules and restrictions.

 

Issuer Risk [Member]  
General Description of Registrant [Abstract]  
Risk [Text Block]

Issuer Risk. The value of a specific security can be more volatile than the market as a whole and can perform differently from the value of the market as a whole. As a non-diversified fund, the Fund may invest more than 5% of its total assets in the securities of one or more issuers. The Fund’s performance may be more sensitive to any single economic, business, political or regulatory occurrence than the value of shares of a diversified investment company. The value of an issuer’s securities that are held in the Fund’s portfolio may decline for a number of reasons which directly relate to the issuer, such as management performance, financial leverage and reduced demand for the issuer’s goods and services.

 

Leveraging Risk [Member]  
General Description of Registrant [Abstract]  
Risk [Text Block]

Leveraging Risk. The use of leverage, such as borrowing money to purchase securities, by the Fund will magnify the Fund’s gains or losses. Generally, the use of leverage also will cause the Fund to have higher expenses (especially interest and/or short selling-related dividend expenses) than those of funds that do not use such techniques. In addition, a lender to the Fund may terminate or refuse to renew any credit facility. If the Fund is unable to access additional credit, it may be forced to sell investments at inopportune times, which may further depress the returns of the Fund.

 

Liquidity Risk [Member]  
General Description of Registrant [Abstract]  
Risk [Text Block]

Liquidity Risk. The Fund is a closed-end investment company structured as an “interval fund” and designed for long-term investors. Unlike many closed-end investment companies, the Fund’s shares are not listed on any securities exchange and are not publicly traded. There is currently no secondary market for the shares and the Fund expects that no secondary market will develop. Limited liquidity is provided to shareholders only through the Fund’s quarterly repurchase offers for no less than 5% of the shares outstanding at net asset value. There is no guarantee that shareholders will be able to sell all of the shares they desire in a quarterly repurchase offer. The Fund’s investments are also subject to liquidity risk. Liquidity risk exists when particular investments of the Fund would be difficult to purchase or sell, possibly preventing the Fund from selling such illiquid securities at an advantageous time or price, or possibly requiring the Fund to dispose of other investments at unfavorable times or prices in order to satisfy its obligations. Funds with principal investment strategies that involve securities of companies with smaller market capitalizations, derivatives or securities with substantial market and/or credit risk tend to have the greatest exposure to liquidity risk.

 

Market Risk [Member]  
General Description of Registrant [Abstract]  
Risk [Text Block]

Market Risk. The Fund may be materially affected by market, economic and political conditions globally and in the jurisdictions and sectors in which it invests or operates, including factors affecting interest rates, the availability of credit, currency exchange rates and trade barriers. These factors are outside the Adviser’s control and could adversely affect the liquidity and value of the Fund’s investments, and may reduce the ability of the Fund to make attractive new investments.

 

In particular, economic and financial market conditions began to significantly deteriorate around 2007 as compared to prior periods. Global financial markets experienced considerable declines in the valuations of debt and equity securities, an acute contraction in the availability of credit and the failure of a number of leading financial institutions. As a result, certain government bodies and central banks worldwide, including the U.S. Treasury Department and the U.S. Federal Reserve, undertook unprecedented intervention programs, the continuous long-term effects of which remain uncertain. Subsequently, the COVID-19 global pandemic beginning in early 2020 also had negative impacts, and in many cases severe negative impacts, on markets worldwide.

 

More recently, the United States has enacted or proposed to enact significant new tariffs, and various federal agencies have been directed to further evaluate key aspects of U.S. trade policy, which could potentially lead to significant changes to current policies, treaties, and tariffs. Significant uncertainty continues to exist about the future relationship between the U.S. and other countries with respect to such trade policies, treaties and tariffs. These developments, or the perception that any of them could occur, may have a material adverse effect on global trade, in particular, trade between the impacted nations and the U.S.; the stability of global financial markets; and global economic conditions. Trends and historical events do not imply, forecast or predict future events and past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results. There can be no assurance that the assumptions made or the beliefs and expectations currently held by the Adviser will prove correct, and actual events and circumstances may vary significantly.

 

The Fund may be subject to risk arising from a default by one of several large institutions that are dependent on one another to meet their liquidity or operational needs, so that a default by one institution may cause a series of defaults by the other institutions. This is sometimes referred to as “systemic risk” and may adversely affect financial intermediaries, such as clearing agencies, clearing houses, banks, securities firms and exchanges, with which the Fund interacts on a daily basis.

 

It is not known how long any future impacts of the significant events described above, will or would last, but there could be a prolonged period of global economic slowdown, which may impact your Fund investment. Therefore, the Fund could lose money over short.

 

Convertible Securities Risk [Member]  
General Description of Registrant [Abstract]  
Risk [Text Block]

Convertible Securities Risk. The value of a convertible security, which is a form of hybrid security (i.e., a security with both debt and equity characteristics), typically increases or decreases with the price of the underlying common stock. In general, a convertible security is subject to the market risks of stocks, and its price may be as volatile as that of the underlying stock, when the underlying stock’s price is high relative to the conversion price, and a convertible security is subject to the market risks of debt securities, and is particularly sensitive to changes in interest rates, when the underlying stock’s price is low relative to the conversion price. The general market risks of debt securities that are common to convertible securities include, but are not limited to, interest rate risk and credit risk -- that is, the value of convertible securities will move in the direction opposite to movements in interest rates; they are subject to the risk that the issuer will not be able to pay interest or dividends when due; and their market value may change based on changes in the issuer’s credit rating or the market’s perception of the issuer’s creditworthiness. Because their value can be influenced by many different factors, convertible securities generally have less potential for gain or loss than the underlying common stocks. Securities that are convertible other than at the option of the holder generally do not limit the potential for loss to the same extent as securities that are convertible only at the option of the holder.

 

Many convertible securities have credit ratings that are below investment grade and are subject to the same risks as an investment in lower-rated debt securities (commonly known as “junk bonds”). Lower-rated debt securities may fluctuate more widely in price and yield than investment grade debt securities and may fall in price during times when the economy is weak or is expected to become weak. The credit rating of a company’s convertible securities is generally lower than that of its non-convertible debt securities. Convertible securities are normally considered “junior” securities—that is, the company usually must pay interest on its non-convertible debt securities before it can make payments on its convertible securities. If the issuer stops paying interest or principal, convertible securities may become worthless and the Fund could lose its entire investment. To the extent the Fund invests in convertible securities issued by small- or mid-cap companies, it will be subject to the risks of investing in such companies.

 

Medium And Small Capitalization Company Risk [Member]  
General Description of Registrant [Abstract]  
Risk [Text Block]

Medium and Small Capitalization Company Risk. Medium or small capitalization companies may be newly formed or have limited product lines, distribution channels and financial and managerial resources. The risks associated with these investments are generally greater than those associated with investments in the securities of larger, more-established companies. This may cause the Fund’s net asset value to be more volatile when compared to investment companies that focus only on large capitalization companies. Generally, securities of medium and small capitalization companies are more likely to experience sharper swings in market values, less liquid markets, in which it may be more difficult for the Adviser to sell at times and at prices that the Adviser believes appropriate and generally are more volatile than those of larger companies. Compared to large companies, smaller companies are more likely to have (i) less information publicly available, (ii) more limited product lines or markets and less mature businesses, (iii) fewer capital resources, (iv) more limited management depth and (v) shorter operating histories.

 

Repurchase Policy Risks [Member]  
General Description of Registrant [Abstract]  
Risk [Text Block]

Repurchase Policy Risks. Quarterly repurchases by the Fund of its shares typically will be funded from available cash or sales of portfolio securities. However, payment for repurchased shares may require the Fund to liquidate portfolio holdings earlier than the Adviser otherwise would liquidate such holdings, potentially resulting in losses, and may increase the Fund’s portfolio turnover. The Adviser may take measures to attempt to avoid or minimize such potential losses and turnover, and instead of liquidating portfolio holdings, may borrow money to finance repurchases of shares. If the Fund borrows to finance repurchases, interest on any such borrowing will negatively affect shareholders who do not tender their shares in a repurchase offer by increasing the Fund’s expenses and reducing any net investment income. To the extent the Fund finances repurchase proceeds by selling investments, the Fund may hold a larger proportion of its net assets in less liquid securities. Also, the sale of securities to fund repurchases could reduce the market price of those securities, which in turn would reduce the Fund’s net asset value.

 

Repurchase of shares will tend to reduce the amount of outstanding shares and, depending upon the Fund’s investment performance, its net assets. A reduction in the Fund’s net assets may increase the Fund’s expense ratio, to the extent that additional shares are not sold. In addition, the repurchase of shares by the Fund may be a taxable event to shareholders.

 

Sector Risk [Member]  
General Description of Registrant [Abstract]

Sector Risk. The Fund’s investments may be focused in securities of a particular sector through its investment in structured notes and other investments. Economic, legislative or regulatory developments may occur that significantly affect the sector. This may cause the Fund’s net asset value to fluctuate more than that of a fund that does not focus in a particular sector.

 

Swap Risk [Member]  
General Description of Registrant [Abstract]  
Risk [Text Block]

Swap Risk. The Fund’s use of swaps involves risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities and other traditional investments. Swaps are subject to tracking risk because they may not be perfect substitutes for the instruments they are intended to track, hedge or replace. Leverage inherent in derivatives will tend to magnify the Fund’s losses. Swap agreements are subject to the risk that the counterparty to the swap will default on its obligation to pay the Fund and the risk that the Fund will not be able to meet its obligations to pay the counterparty to the swap. In addition, there is the risk that a swap may be terminated by the Fund or the counterparty in accordance with its terms. If a swap were to terminate, the Fund may be unable to implement its investment strategies and the Fund may not be able to seek to achieve its investment objective. The use of leveraged derivatives can magnify the Fund’s potential for loss and, therefore, amplify the effects of market volatility on the Fund’s share price. Derivative prices are highly volatile and may fluctuate substantially during a short period of time. Swap agreements may also involve fees, commissions or other costs that may reduce the Fund’s gains from a swap agreement or may cause the Fund to lose money.

 

Tax Risk [Member]

Tax Risk. The income and gains from certain of the Fund’s investments may not allow the Fund to be treated as a regulated investment company under the Code. If the Fund fails to qualify as a regulated investment company under the Code in any fiscal year, it will be treated as a corporation for federal income tax purposes. As such, the Fund would be required to pay income taxes on its income at the rates generally applicable to corporations and distributions to shareholders would be treated as taxable dividends to the extent of current or accumulated earnings and profits of the Fund.

 

Turnover Risk [Member]

Turnover Risk. A higher portfolio turnover may result in higher transactional and brokerage costs associated with the turnover which will reduce a Fund’s return, unless the securities traded can be bought and sold without corresponding commission costs. Active trading of securities may also increase a Fund’s realized capital gains or losses, which may affect the taxes you pay as a Fund shareholder.

 

Cybersecurity [Member]  
General Description of Registrant [Abstract]  
Risk [Text Block]

Cybersecurity. The computer systems, networks and devices used by the Fund and its service providers to carry out routine business operations employ a variety of protections designed to prevent damage or interruption from computer viruses, network failures, computer and telecommunication failures, infiltration by unauthorized persons and security breaches. Despite the various protections utilized by the Fund and its service providers, systems, networks, or devices potentially can be breached. The Fund and its shareholders could be negatively impacted as a result of a cybersecurity breach.

 

Cybersecurity breaches can include unauthorized access to systems, networks, or devices; infection from computer viruses or other malicious software code; and attacks that shut down, disable, slow, or otherwise disrupt operations, business processes, or website access or functionality. Cybersecurity breaches may cause disruptions and impact the Fund’s business operations, potentially resulting in financial losses; interference with the Fund’s ability to calculate their NAV; impediments to trading; the inability of the Fund, the Adviser, and other service providers to transact business; violations of applicable privacy and other laws; regulatory fines, penalties, reputational damage, reimbursement or other compensation costs, or additional compliance costs; as well as the inadvertent release of confidential information.

[1] Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses are the indirect costs of investing in other investment companies. The operating expenses in this fee table will not correlate to the expense ratio in the Fund’s financial highlights, when issued, because the financial statements, when issued, include only the direct operating expenses incurred by the Fund. Acquired fund fees and expenses are estimated for the current fiscal period.
[2] The Class C shares will pay to the Distributor a Distribution Fee that will accrue at an annual rate equal to 0.75% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class C shares and is payable on a quarterly basis. Class A and Class I shares are not currently subject to a Distribution Fee. See “Plan of Distribution.”
[3] The Adviser and the Fund have entered into the Expense Limitation Agreement under which the Adviser has agreed contractually to waive its fees and to pay or absorb the ordinary annual operating expenses of the Fund (excluding any front-end or contingent deferred loads, taxes, leverage interest, borrowing interest, brokerage commissions, expenses incurred in connection with any merger or reorganization, dividend expense on securities sold short, acquired (underlying) fund fees and expenses or extraordinary expenses such as litigation), to the extent that they exceed 3.00%, 3.65% and 2.75% per annum of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class A, Class C and Class I shares, respectively. In consideration of the Expense Limitation Agreement, the Fund has agreed to repay the Adviser in the amount of any fees waived and Fund expenses paid or absorbed, subject to the limitations that: (1) the reimbursement for fees and expenses will be made only if payable not more than three years from when they were incurred; and (2) the reimbursement may not be made if it would cause the Expense Limitation to be exceeded. The Expense Limitation Agreement will remain in effect at least until October 31, 2027, unless and until the Board approves its modification or termination. The Expense Limitation Agreement may be terminated only by the Board on 60 days written notice to the Adviser. See “Management of the Fund.”
