 allocation in sufficient time to respond to any such changes, resulting in substantial losses from risks of Private Funds. Private Funds classified as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes may generate income allocable to the Fund that is not qualifying income for purposes of the 90% gross income requirement applicable to RICs. In order to meet the 90% gross income requirement, the Fund may structure its investments in a way potentially increasing the taxes imposed thereon or in respect thereof. For more information, see “Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Matters — Taxation of the Fund” in the SAI. Private Placements Risk A private placement involves the sale of securities that have not been registered under the Securities Act, or relevant provisions of applicable non-U.S.law, to certain institutional and qualified individual purchasers, such as the Fund. In addition to the general risks to which all securities are subject, securities received in a private placement generally are subject to strict restrictions on resale, and there may be no liquid secondary market or ready purchaser for such securities, and a liquid secondary market may never develop. See “Risk Factors—Liquidity Risk.” Therefore, the Fund may be unable to dispose of such securities when it desires to do so, or at the most favorable time or price. Private placements may also raise valuation risks. See “Risk Factors—Valuation Risk.” 45

In addition, during any periods of rising inflation, the dividend rates or borrowing costs associated with the Fund’s use of leverage would likely increase, which would tend to further reduce returns to Stockholders. Deflation risk is the risk that prices throughout the economy decline over time. Deflation may have an adverse effect on the creditworthiness of issuers and may make issuer default more likely, which may result in a decline in the value of the Fund’s portfolio and Common Stock. Risk of Regulatory Changes Legal, tax and regulatory changes could occur and may adversely affect the Fund and its ability to pursue its investment strategies and/or increase the costs of implementing such strategies. New (or revised) laws or regulations may be imposed by the CFTC, the SEC, the IRS, the U.S. Federal Reserve or other banking regulators, other governmental regulatory authorities or self-regulatory organizations that supervise the
