 Common stock prices fluctuate for many reasons,            
 including changes in investors’ perceptions of the financial condition of an issuer, the general condition of the relevant                  
 stock market or when political or economic events affecting the issuers occur. In addition, common stock prices may be sensitive            
 to rising interest rates, as the costs of capital rise for issuers. Because convertible securities can be converted into equity securities, 
 their values will normally increase or decrease as the values of the underlying equity securities increase or decrease. The common          
 stocks in which the Fund will invest are structurally subordinated to preferred securities, bonds and other debt instruments in a           
 company’s capital structure in terms of priority to corporate income and assets and, therefore, will be subject to greater                  
 risk than the preferred securities or debt instruments of such issuers.                                                                     |

| Defensive Positions. During periods                                                                                                      
 of adverse market or economic conditions, the Fund may temporarily invest all or a substantial portion of its net assets in cash         
 or cash equivalents. The Fund would not be pursuing its investment objective in these circumstances and could miss favorable market      
 developments.                                                                                                                            
 Foreign Securities Risk. Investments                                                                                                     
 in securities of non-U.S. issuers involve special risks not presented by investments in securities of U.S. issuers, including the        
 following: less publicly available information about companies due to less rigorous disclosure or accounting standards or regulatory     
 practices; the impact of political, social or diplomatic events, including war; possible seizure, expropriation or nationalization       
 of the company or its assets; possible imposition of currency exchange controls; and changes in foreign currency exchange rates.         
 These risks are more pronounced to the extent that the Fund invests a significant amount of its investments in companies located         
 in one region. These risks may be greater in emerging markets and in less developed countries. For example, prior governmental approval  
 for foreign investments may be required in some emerging market countries, and the extent of foreign investment may be subject to        
 limitation in other emerging countries. With respect to risks associated with changes in foreign currency exchange rates, the Fund       
 does not expect to engage in foreign currency hedging transactions. See “Foreign Currency Risk.”                                         
 Global Market Risk. An investment                                                                                                        
 in Fund shares is subject to investment risk, including the possible loss of the entire principal amount invested. The Fund is subject   
 to the risk that geopolitical and other similar events will disrupt the economy on a national or global level. For instance, war,        
 terrorism, market manipulation, government defaults,
