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 are based on total assets. If the Fund
employs leverage, the Effective Duration is based on net 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.
