 such instruments may expose the Fund to risks not presented by credit obligations. The types of derivative instruments that the Fund currently invests in (or considers for investment) are: structured products, swaps, futures contracts, and forward contracts. In the future, the Fund may invest in other types of derivative instruments if deemed advisable by the Adviser. Structured products include instruments such as credit-linked securities, commodity-linked notes and structured notes. A structured product may combine a traditional stock, bond, or commodity with an option or forward contract. An example of a structured product could be a bond issued by an oil company that pays a small base level of interest with additional interest that accrues in correlation to the extent to which oil prices exceed a certain predetermined level. Such a structured product would be a combination of a bond and a call option on oil. The Fund may commence investing in such other types of derivative instruments without notice to stockholders.

The Fund may invest in securities of stressed issuers, which include securities at risk of being in default as to the repayment of principal and/or interest at the time of acquisition by the Fund or that are rated in the lower rating categories by one or more nationally recognized statistical rating organizations (for example, Ca or lower by Moody’s or CC or lower by S&P or Fitch) or, if unrated, are determined by the Adviser to be of comparable quality. Debt instruments of below investment grade quality are regarded as having predominantly speculative characteristics with respect to capacity to pay interest and to repay principal, and are commonly referred to as “high yield” securities or “junk bonds.” Debt instruments in the lowest investment grade category also may be considered to possess some speculative characteristics.
