 and suppliers of infrastructure assets; changes in laws and regulations; environmental claims; changes in energy prices; uninsured casualties; natural disasters, terrorist events, under-insured or uninsurable losses; and other factors. Many of these factors could cause fluctuations in usage, expenses and revenues, causing the value of infrastructure investments to decline and negatively affect the Fund’s returns. Moreover, it may be difficult for the Fund to dispose of an infrastructure investment at an attractive price or at the appropriate time or in response to changing market conditions, or the Fund may otherwise be unable to complete a favorable exit strategy.

Leverage Risk. Leverage created by borrowing or certain types of transactions or investments may impair the fund’s liquidity, cause it to liquidate positions at an unfavorable time, increase volatility of the fund’s net asset value, or diminish the fund’s performance.

Liquidity Risk. Certain Fund holdings may be deemed to be less liquid or illiquid because they cannot be readily sold without significantly impacting the value of the holdings. Trading volume, lack of a market maker, or legal restrictions may impair the Fund's ability to sell particular securities at an advantageous price.

Market Volatility. The value of the Fund’s portfolio securities may decrease in response to overall market movements. Markets tend to move in cycles, with periods of rising prices and periods of falling prices. Stocks tend to go up and down in value more than bonds. The value of a security may decline for reasons directly related to the issuer, such as management performance, financial leverage, and reduced demand for the issuer’s goods or services. As a result, the value of an individual security or particular type of security can be more volatile than the market as a whole and can perform differently from the value of the market as a whole.

Additionally, U.S. and world economies, as well as markets (or certain market sectors), may experience greater volatility in response to the occurrence of natural or man-made disasters and geopolitical events, such as war, acts of terrorism, pandemics, military actions, trade disputes, or political instability. Moreover, if the Fund’s investments are concentrated in certain sectors, its performance could be worse than the overall market.

Global events can impact the securities markets. Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2022 has resulted in sanctions being levied by the United States, European Union, and other countries against Russia. Russia's military actions and the resulting sanctions could adversely affect global energy and financial markets and, thus, could affect the value of the fund's investments, even beyond any direct exposure the fund may
