The Fund is a diversified closed-end fund. The primary
investment objective is to seek high current income; capital
appreciation is a secondary objective. The Fund seeks to achieve
its objectives by investing, under normal circumstances, at least
65% of its total assets in income-generating equity securities,
including dividend-paying common stocks, convertible securities,
preferred stocks, and other equity-related securities, which may
include up to 25% in real estate investment trusts (REITs) and real
estate industry operating companies. Up to 35% of the Fund's total
assets may be invested in nonconvertible debt securities consisting
primarily of high-yield, high-risk corporate bonds. In addition,
the Fund utilizes leveraging techniques in an attempt to obtain a
higher return for the Fund. There is no assurance that the Fund
will achieve its investment objectives.
