Closed-End Fund Trading Considerations
The value at which a closed-end fund stock may trade on a public exchange is a function of external market factors that are not under the control of the Fund’s Board or Investment Advisor. Closed-end fund shares may therefore trade at a premium or a discount to net asset value at any given time. Shareholders should be aware that a fund trading at a premium to net asset value may not be sustainable, and a fund’s discount to net asset value can widen as well as narrow. Shareholders of a fund trading at a premium who participate in that fund’s dividend reinvestment plan should note that the reinvestment of distributions may occur at a premium to net asset value.
Important Information
Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Investment returns and principal will fluctuate, and shares, when sold, may be worth more or less than the original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. NAV returned data includes investment management fees, custodial charges, bank loan expenses, and administrative fees (such as director and legal fees) and assumes the reinvestment of all distributions. The Company is subject to investment risk, including the possible loss of principal. Total return based on net asset value reflects changes in the Company’s net asset value during each period. Total return based on market price reflects changes in market value.
