Effective immediately, the following changes are made to each Prospectus:
The risk factor titled “Credit Linked Notes” under “Summary of Risks - Risks Related to the Fund’s Investments” is hereby deleted and replaced with the following:
| | • | | The Fund or its portfolio companies may utilize notes; the performance of which are linked to the credit performance of a reference portfolio of certain loan-related claims on corporate and similar entities that are specified from time to time (“CLNs”). CLNs may be speculative and note holders may lose some or all of their initial investments. CLNs may not be rated by any credit agency and are subject not only to note holders’ credit risk exposure, but, also, to the credit risk of the issuer, whose credit ratings and credit spreads may adversely affect the market value of such CLNs. |
The risk factor titled “CLNs” under “RISK FACTORS - Risks Related to the Fund’s Investments” is hereby deleted and replaced with the following:
| | • | | The Fund or its portfolio companies may utilize notes; the performance of which are linked to the credit performance of a reference portfolio of certain loan-related claims on corporate and similar entities that are specified from time to time. CLNs may be speculative and note holders may lose some or all of their initial investments. CLNs may not be rated by any credit agency and are subject not only to note holders’ credit risk exposure, but, also, to the credit risk of the issuer, whose credit ratings and credit spreads may adversely affect the market value of such CLNs. |
The disclosure under “PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION – Purchasing Shares” is hereby deleted and replaced with the following:
| | • | | Investors may purchase shares directly from the Fund in accordance with the instructions below. Investors will be assessed fees for returned checks and stop payment orders at prevailing rates charged by the Transfer Agent. The returned check and stop payment fee is currently $25. Investors may buy and sell shares of the Fund through financial intermediaries and their agents that have made arrangements with the Fund and are authorized to buy and sell shares of the Fund (collectively, “Financial Intermediaries”). Such Financial Intermediaries may designate other intermediaries to receive purchase and repurchase orders, as authorized by the Fund. The Fund will be deemed to have received an order for purchase or repurchase of shares when the order is received in “proper form” by the Transfer Agent (or, if applicable, by a Financial Intermediary or its authorized designee) on a business day. A Financial Intermediary may hold shares in an omnibus account in the Financial Intermediary’s name or the Financial Intermediary may maintain individual ownership records. The Fund may also pay fees to Financial Intermediaries for sub-administration, sub-transfer agency, sub-accounting and other shareholder services associated with shareholders whose shares are held with such Financial Intermediary. Financial Intermediaries may charge fees for the services they provide in connection with processing your transaction order or maintaining an investor’s account with them. Investors should check with their Financial Intermediary to determine if it is subject to these arrangements. Financial Intermediaries are responsible for placing orders correctly and promptly with the Fund, forwarding payment promptly. Orders transmitted with a Financial Intermediary before the close of regular trading (generally 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time) on a day that the NYSE is open for business, will be priced based on the Fund’s NAV next computed after it is received by the Financial Intermediary and the Transfer Agent. |
