Prospectus
Comment 3. | Please disclose that the Fund’s investments in closed-end funds will be limited to publicly traded closed-end funds. |
Response: | The requested disclosure has been added to the Investment Strategy section of the Fund’s prospectus. |
Comment 4. | Please add day trading risk to the Fund’s principal risk factors. |
Response: | The Registrant has added the following risk factor to its principal risk factors: |
| |
| Active Trading Risk. Active trading of portfolio securities (commonly known as day-trading strategies) may result in added expenses, a lower return and increased tax liability. Because the Fund’s adviser engages in high turnover trading strategies that seek to leverage short term price dislocations through the duration of a trade, the Fund will have high portfolio turnover rates, which at times may be in excess of 1,000% of capital over the course of a year. Increased portfolio turnover causes the Fund to incur higher brokerage costs, which may adversely affect the Fund’s performance and may produce increased taxable distributions. |
