* Portfolio holdings and weightings are historical and are
presented here for informational purposes only and do not
include derivatives such as Futures Contracts, Options
Written, and Credit Default Swaps. They are subject to change at
any time.
** Credit quality is a measure of a bond issuer's ability to
repay interest and principal in a timely manner. The credit ratings
shown are based on each portfolio security’s rating as provided by
Standard and Poor’s, Moody’s Investors Service and/or Fitch
Ratings, Ltd. and typically range from AAA (highest) to D (lowest),
or an equivalent and/or similar rating. For this purpose, when two
or more of the agencies have assigned differing ratings to a
security, the highest rating is used. Securities that are unrated
by all three agencies are reflected as such. The credit quality of
the investments in the Fund's portfolio does not apply to the
stability or safety of the Fund. These ratings are updated monthly
and may change over time. Please note, the Fund itself has not
been rated by an independent rating agency.
*** The difference between total assets and net assets, if any,
is due primarily to the Fund’s use of preferred shares; net assets
do not include preferred shares. The Fund may employ leverage in
the form of loans, preferred stock, reverse repurchase agreements
and/or other instruments. When the Fund engages in transactions
that have a leveraging effect on the Fund’s portfolio, the value of
the Fund will be more volatile and all other risks will tend to be
compounded.
**** Percentages based on total assets.
Dividends and distributions represent past performance. Past
performance is no guarantee of future results and there is no
guarantee that dividends and distributions will continue.
