 return swap would provide the Fund with a return based on its NAV. Like any total return swap, the Fund would be subject to counterparty risk and the risk that its own NAV declines in value.

The Fund generally seeks to hold securities for the long term, but may liquidate positions in order to change the Fund’s asset allocation or to generate cash to invest in more attractive opportunities, which may result in a larger portion of any net gains being realized as short-term capital gains. In addition, a negative change in the fundamental or qualitative characteristics of the issuer may cause the Adviser to sell a security. Finally, the Adviser may sell a security when its price approaches, meets or exceeds the Adviser’s target price. For instance, the Adviser may sell shares of a closed-end fund when it is no longer selling at a discount. This may result in a high rate of portfolio turnover.

The Fund’s investment objective is non-fundamental and may be changed by the Board without Common Stockholder approval. Common Stockholders will, however, receive at least 60 days prior notice of any change in this investment objective. The Fund may also change the 80% policy noted above without shareholder approval upon at least 60 days' prior written notice to shareholders.

The Fund may borrow money and/or issue preferred stock, notes or debt securities for investment purposes. These practices are known as leveraging. The Fund may utilize leverage to purchase portfolio securities and for portfolio or cash management purposes. The Fund also may borrow money as a temporary measure for extraordinary or emergency purposes, including settlement of securities transactions, which otherwise might require untimely dispositions of the Fund’s portfolio securities. The Fund currently anticipates that, if employed, leverage will primarily be obtained through the use of bank borrowings or other similar term loans. The Underlying Funds and SPACs that the Fund invests in may also use leverage. The Fund may be subject to certain restrictions on investments imposed by lenders or by one or more rating agencies that may issue ratings for any senior securities issued by the Fund. Borrowing covenants or rating agency guidelines may impose asset coverage or Fund composition requirements that are more stringent than those imposed on the Fund by the 1940 Act.
