For purposes of the Fund’s limit on investment in any single issuer, with respect to an investment in an MLP, an “issuer” includes both an issuer and its controlling general partner, managing member or sponsor, and an “issue” is a class of an issuer’s securities or a derivative security that tracks that class of securities.

Preferred Stock

Preferred stock generally has a preference as to distributions and upon liquidation over an issuer’s common stock but ranks junior to other income securities in an issuer’s capital structure. Preferred stock generally pays distributions in cash (or additional shares of preferred stock) at a defined rate but, unlike interest payments on other income securities, preferred stock distributions are payable only if declared by the issuer’s board of directors. distributions on preferred stock may be cumulative, meaning that, in the event the issuer fails to make one or more distribution payments on the preferred stock, no distributions may be paid on the issuer’s common stock until all unpaid preferred stock distributions have been paid.

A convertible security entitles the holder to receive interest paid or accrued on debt or the distribution paid on preferred stock until the convertible security matures or is redeemed, converted or exchanged. Before conversion, convertible securities have characteristics similar to nonconvertible income securities in that they ordinarily provide a stable stream of income with generally higher yields than those of common stocks of the same or similar issuers, but lower yields than comparable nonconvertible securities. The value of a convertible security is influenced by changes in interest rates, with investment value declining as interest rates increase and increasing as interest rates decline. The credit standing of the issuer and other factors also may have an effect on the convertible security’s investment value. Convertible securities rank senior to common stock in a corporation’s capital structure but are usually subordinated to comparable nonconvertible securities. Convertible securities may be subject to
