| Item 1. | Report to Stockholders |
August 5, 2021
Dear Shareholder,
We are pleased to report to our shareholders on the results of The New America High Income Fund (the "Fund") for the six month period ended June 30, 2021. The Fund's net asset value (the "NAV") was $10.01 as of June 30th. The market price for the Fund's shares ended the period at $9.23, representing a market price discount of 7.8%. The Fund paid dividends totaling $0.25 per share from earnings during the six month period. Based upon the current rate, the annualized dividend yield on a share of common stock purchased at the year-end 2020 price of $8.68 was 6.9%.
As of June 30th, the Fund's outstanding borrowing through its credit facility (the "Facility") with the Bank of Nova Scotia was $84 million, unchanged from borrowings at year-end. The borrowing represented approximately 26% of the Fund's total assets. Amounts borrowed under the Facility bear interest at an adjustable rate based on a margin above the London Inter-bank Offered Rate. The interest rate on the Facility as of June 30th was 0.95%, an attractive spread relative to the portfolio's market value-weighted average current yield of 6.08% on June 30th. The average rate paid during the period on the borrowings was 0.97%, compared with the average rate paid during 2020 of 1.53%. The Fund's leverage contributed approximately 24% of the net income earned for the six month period ended June 30, 2021, an increase from the leverage contribution to income of approximately 21% for the year ended December 31, 2020.
We remind our shareholders that there is no certainty that the dividend will remain at the current level. The dividend can be affected by portfolio results, the cost and amount of leverage, market conditions, the extent to which the portfolio is fully invested, and operating expenses, among other factors. Leverage magnifies the effect of price movements on the Fund's NAV per share. The Fund's leverage increases the Fund's total return in periods of positive high yield market performance, such as the first six months of this year. Of course, the opposite is true in an unfavorable high yield market.

| | 1 Year | | 3 Years Cumulative | |
New America High Income Fund (Stock Price and Dividends)* | | | 27.71 | % | | | 35.14 | % | |

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Total returns are calculated by determining the percentage change in net asset value or market price (as applicable) and assumes the reinvestment of dividends. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that shares, when sold, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance is for the stated time period only; due to market volatility, the Fund's current performance may be lower or higher than quoted.
The Credit Suisse High Yield Index is an unmanaged index. Unlike the Fund, the Index has no trading activity, expenses or leverage.
* Returns are historical and are calculated by determining the percentage change in NAV or market value with all distributions reinvested. Distributions are assumed to be reinvested at prices obtained under the Fund's dividend reinvestment plan. Because the Fund's shares may trade at either a discount or premium to the Fund's NAV per share, returns based upon the stock price and dividends will tend to differ from those derived from the underlying change in NAV and dividends. The variance between the Fund's total return based on stock price and dividends and the total return based on the Fund's NAV and dividends is due to the narrowing of the stock price discount to the NAV over the last year.

Market Review
The high yield market returned 3.89% for the six month period ended June 30, 2021, according to the Credit Suisse High Yield Index (the "Index"). Early in the reporting period, new stimulus measures fueled higher expectations for growth and worries about potential inflation, driving a rise in U.S. Treasury yields. Longer-term yields on government bonds moved sharply higher during the period, with the yield on the benchmark 10-year note jumping from 0.93% to 1.74%, its highest level since late 2019. The accelerated rollout of the Covid-19 vaccine seemed to further boost investor confidence. By the end of March, nearly one-third of Americans had received their first dose of the vaccine. As the third wave of the corona virus abated, many states began to reopen. As they did, hiring resumed, particularly in the hospitality and leisure industries. The economic rebound and lingering supply chain disruptions led to price pressures in some sectors of the economy. In May the U.S. Department of Labor reported that core consumer prices (excluding food and energy) jumped by 0.9% in April, the most in nearly four decades and roughly triple consensus estimates. Core prices rose another 0.7% the following month, and the headline increase in consumer prices for the year ended May 31, 2021, hit 5%, the most since 2008. Market reaction to the inflation news was muted, as investors seemed reassured by repeated statements from the Federal Reserve (the "Fed") officials that inflationary pressures were likely transitory and primarily due to pandemic-related supply constraints. Fed Chair Jerome Powell revealed that Fed officials have begun to discuss slowing the central bank's monthly bond purchases, the first step toward eventually raising interest rates. The Fed's June Summary of Economic Projections showed that policymakers now expect two rate hikes by the end of 2023, indicating a faster pace of tightening than previously projected.
Technical conditions in the high yield market were mixed during the first quarter. Despite modest cash outflows from dedicated high yield mutual funds, strong demand for high yield bonds from multi-sector strategy funds and institutional investors helped to absorb a record $160 billion in new issuance between January and March. The majority of the cash raised by issuers in the first quarter was used to refinance existing debt, allowing companies to lower financing costs, extend maturities, bolster liquidity, and repair balance sheets. In May and June new issue proceeds were increasingly directed toward acquisition financing and leveraged buyout activity. High yield issuance moderated later in the period, although it was still quite high by historical standards; notably, the percentage of total issuance by CCC rated companies was the largest since 2008, driven, in part, by investors' reach for yield. The yield on the Index declined to a record low 4.19% in June and yield spreads compressed to 358 basis points as equities and Treasuries rallied amid growing confidence that recent inflationary pressures will prove transitory. The J.P. Morgan par-weighted default rate decreased to 1.63% from 6.17% in December 2020, and now sits well below the 2.63% seen in December 2019, before the onset of the global pandemic.
Strategy Review
As the high yield market struggled with historically expensive valuations, our higher-quality energy positioning and select investments in convertible bonds of some of our highest conviction names supported the portfolio's relative performance. Overall, we maintained our disciplined, risk-aware positioning with overweight allocations to the cable operators and utilities segments. Within the energy industry, we broadly avoided distressed names in favor of issuers with larger asset bases and more durable business models. We maintained an overweight to large, diversified, and well-capitalized midstream companies that tend to have contractual-based revenue models as well as an overweight to relatively high-quality exploration and production ("E&P") names.
2
Security selection within the BB rating tier added to performance, in large part, due to the portfolio's overweight positions in fallen angels Occidental Petroleum and Continental Resources. These E&P companies benefited from a surge in oil prices during the period and improved fundamentals, as both management teams remained focused on executing their debt reduction plans. Additionally, our positioning in the longer-dated issues within these capital structures enabled the portfolio to benefit from the rally in rates.
Credit selection in the health care segment aided relative performance. Avantor is a leading provider of product and service solutions to laboratory and production companies. Increasing demand for its products supported the company's performance, and management has continued to execute on its deleveraging strategy. The strength of the company's balance sheet should enable Avantor to move forward with its strategic plans for vertically integrated merger and acquisition transactions.
Credit selection in the satellites industry contributed to relative performance, partly due to Intelsat, which operates the world's first globalized network. The secured debt traded higher after the company reached an agreement with some of its creditors and filed a financial reorganization plan that could significantly reduce debt and enable Intelsat to pay down secured bonds and loans owned by the Fund upon exit from bankruptcy. The reorganization plan positions the company to potentially emerge from bankruptcy in the second half of 2021. Our investment team has closely followed developments in this credit story for several years. When the company filed for bankruptcy in May 2020 we saw an excellent risk/reward opportunity in the secured part of the capital structure based on our fundamental view that the value of the core business covers the company's secured debt.
Security selection within the CCC rating tier was a relative performance detractor, largely because we did not own many of the lower-quality, and in our view, more fundamentally-challenged names that continued to drive performance against a backdrop of easy access to capital and rising commodity prices. With a total return of 7.84% in the first half of the year, CCCs outperformed the 3.49% total return of B rated issues and 2.37% total return of BB rated issues. Our investment team continued to execute our investment process by maintaining a risk-aware, disciplined approach, which meant we did not chase gains seen in the more speculative areas of the market.
Credit selection within the financials segment detracted from performance largely due to the portfolio's underweight in diversified holding company Icahn Enterprises. The company's portfolio, which has large public equity holdings, performed well alongside the rally seen in the broad equity market during the first half of 2021. We underweighted the position because during the market volatility of 2020, the company's portfolio experienced a decline in value of more than 65%. In our view, this type of volatility in the portfolio's NAV is unacceptable for a BB rated credit.
Outlook
We remain constructive on credit risk overall. Companies that were among the hardest hit by the pandemic shutdown are likely to experience significant recoveries as the economy continues to reopen. Many issuers in the entertainment and leisure industries could move from near-zero earnings to having a meaningful boost in revenues, which should create a supportive environment for taking credit risk. Nevertheless, we are mindful of valuations and remain committed to controlling risk exposures despite our benign default expectations for the year ahead.
After a period in which a record number of downgrades of formerly investment grade rated issues entered the high yield asset class, the market could be on the verge of a sea change. Given the rebound in earnings, balance
3
sheet repair, and the liquidity that has been afforded the broad market, we believe rising stars could be a prominent theme in the high yield asset class over the medium term. Identifying upgrade candidates among the relatively higher-quality high yield bond rating tier could create significant opportunities
As always, we aim to deliver high current income while seeking to contain the volatility inherent in this market. Our team maintains a commitment to credit research and risk-conscious investing that has led to favorable returns for our high yield clients over various market cycles.
Sincerely,

Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 2021 (Unaudited)
(1) Significant Accounting and Other Policies
The New America High Income Fund, Inc. (the Fund) was organized as a corporation in the state of Maryland on November 19, 1987 and is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission as a diversified, closed-end investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940. The Fund follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standard Codification Topic 946 "Financial Services Investment Companies". The Fund commenced operations on February 26, 1988. The investment objective of the Fund is to provide high current income while seeking to preserve stockholders' capital through investment in a professionally managed, diversified portfolio of "high yield" fixed-income securities.
The Fund invests primarily in fixed maturity corporate debt securities that are rated less than investment grade. Risk of loss upon default by the issuer is significantly greater with respect to such securities compared to investment grade securities because these securities are generally unsecured and are often subordinated to other creditors of the issuer and because these issuers usually have high levels of indebtedness and are more sensitive to adverse economic conditions, such as a recession, than are investment grade issuers. In some cases, the collection of principal and timely receipt of interest is dependent upon the issuer attaining improved operating results, selling assets or obtaining additional financing.
The Fund may focus its investments in certain industries, subjecting it to greater risk than a Fund that is more diversified. See the schedule of investments for information on individual securities as well as industry diversification and credit quality ratings.
The Fund's financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for investment companies that require the management of the Fund to, among other things, make estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund, which are in conformity with those generally accepted in the investment company industry.
(a) Valuation of Investments—Except as otherwise described below, the Fund's investments are valued based on evaluated bid prices provided by an independent pricing service. Independent pricing services provide prices based primarily on quotations from dealers and brokers, market transactions, data accessed from quotations services, offering sheets obtained from dealers and various relationships among similar securities. Investments whose primary market is on an exchange are valued at the last sale price on the day of valuation. Short-term investments with original maturities of 60 days or less are stated at amortized cost, which approximates the fair value of such investments. Following procedures approved by the Board of Directors, investments for which market prices are not yet provided by an independent pricing service (primarily newly issued fixed-income corporate bonds and notes) shall be valued at the most recently quoted bid price provided by a principal market maker for the security. Other investments for which market quotations are not readily available are valued in good faith at fair value using methods approved by the Board of Directors. Fair value measurement is further discussed in section (f) of this footnote.
(b) Foreign Currency—Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of investment securities and income and expense items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U. S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions.

Notes to Financial Statements — Continued
June 30, 2021 (Unaudited)
The Fund does not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments.
Reported net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transaction, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund's books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates.
(c) Foreign Currency Forward Exchange Contracts—The Fund may enter into foreign currency forward exchange contracts to hedge against foreign currency exchange rate risks on its non-U.S. dollar denominated investment securities. When entering into a forward currency contract, the Fund agrees to receive or deliver a fixed quantity of foreign currency for an agreed upon price on an agreed future date. The Fund's net equity therein, representing unrealized gain or loss on the contracts as measured by the difference between the forward foreign exchange rates at the dates of entry into the contracts and the forward rates at the reporting date, is included in the statement of assets and liabilities. Realized and unrealized gains and losses are included in the statement of operations. These instruments involve market risk, credit risk or both kinds of risks, in excess of the amount recognized in the statement of assets and liabilities. Risks arise from the possible inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from movement in currency and securities values and interest rates.
(d) Securities Transactions and Net Investment Income—Securities transactions are recorded on trade
date. Realized gains or losses on sales of securities are calculated on the identified cost basis. Interest income is accrued on a daily basis. Discount on short-term investments is amortized to investment income. Premiums or discounts on corporate debt securities are amortized based on the interest method for financial reporting purposes. All income on original issue discount and step interest bonds is accrued based on the effective interest method. The Fund does not amortize market premiums or discounts for tax purposes. Dividend payments received in the form of additional securities are recorded on the ex-dividend date in an amount equal to the value of the security on such date.
(e) Federal Income Taxes—It is the Fund's policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income to its shareholders each year. Accordingly, no federal income tax provision is required.
(f) Fair Value Measurement—The Fund applies ASC 820 "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures". This standard establishes the definition of fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value and requires additional disclosures about fair value measurements.
The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under ASC 820 are described below:
Level 1—Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Fund has the ability to access.
Level 2—Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These inputs may include quoted prices for the identical instrument on an inactive market, prices for similar instruments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, default rates and similar data.
31
The New America High Income Fund, Inc.
Notes to Financial Statements — Continued
June 30, 2021 (Unaudited)
Level 3—Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, to the extent relevant observable inputs are not available, representing the Fund's own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability, and would be based on the best information available.
The availability of observable inputs can vary from security to security and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of security, whether the security is new and not yet established in the marketplace, the liquidity of markets, and other characteristics particular to the security. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in level 3.
The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls in its entirety, is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
A description of the valuation techniques applied to the Fund's major asset and liability categories is as follows.
Debt securities (corporate, U.S. Treasury, convertible & bank debt). The fair value of debt securities is provided by independent pricing services using quotations from dealers and brokers, market transactions, data from quotations services, offering sheets and various relationships between securities. While most corporate bonds are categorized in level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, there may be instances where less observable inputs necessitate a level 3 categorization.
Equity securities (preferred and common stock). Equity securities for which the primary market is on an exchange will be valued at the last sale price on the day of valuation and are categorized in level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Other equity securities traded in inactive markets or valued by independent pricing services using methods similar to debt securities are categorized in level 2. The fair value of equity securities in which observable inputs are unavailable are categorized in level 3.
Short-term investments. Short-term investments are valued using amortized cost, which approximates fair value. To the extent the inputs are observable and timely the values would be categorized in level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Forwards are valued at the unrealized gain or loss on the contract as measured by the difference between the forward exchange rates at the date of entry into the contract and the forward rates at the reporting date. Forwards are categorized in level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
The following is a summary of the inputs used as of June 30, 2021 in valuing the Fund's investments:
| | Level 1 | | Level 2 | | Level 3 | | Total Value | |

(2) Tax Matters and Distributions
At June 30, 2021, the total cost of securities (including temporary cash investments) for federal income tax purposes was approximately $295,066,000. Aggregate gross unrealized gain on securities in which there was an excess of value over tax cost was approximately $17,537,000. Aggregate gross unrealized loss on securities in which there was an excess of tax cost over value was approximately $907,000. Net unrealized gain on investments for tax purposes at June 30, 2021 was approximately $16,630,000.
At December 31, 2020, the Fund had approximate capital loss carryforwards available to offset future capital gains, if any, to the extent provided by regulations:
Carryover Available | | Character | | Expiration Date | |
$ | 7,102,000 | | | Short-term | | None | |
| 19,659,000 | | | Long-term | | None | |
$ | 26,761,000 | | | | | | |
As a result of the passage of the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the "Act"), losses incurred in the 2011 fiscal year and beyond retain their character as short-term or long-term, have no expiration date and are utilized before the capital losses incurred prior to the enactment of the Act. At December 31, 2020, the Fund had total non-expiring capital loss carryforwards of $26,761,000.
It is the policy of the Fund to reduce future distributions of realized gains to shareholders to the extent of the unexpired capital loss carryforwards.
The tax character of distributions paid to common shareholders in 2020 and 2019 of approximately $15,248,000 and $15,419,000, respectively, was from ordinary income.
As of December 31, 2020, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were approximately:
Unrealized Gain on Investments | | $ | 15,749,000 | | |

The difference between components of distributable earnings on a tax basis and amounts in accordance with generally accepted accounting principals ("GAAP") are primarily due to market discount and premium adjustments, wash sales, and the recognition of unrealized gain on currency forward contracts. GAAP also requires components related to permanent differences of net assets to be classified differently for financial reporting purposes than for tax reporting purposes. These differences have no net effect on the net asset value of the Fund. As of December 31, 2020, there were no financial reporting reclassifications recorded to the net asset accounts.
As of December 31, 2020, the Fund had $95,000 of post-October losses which are deferred until fiscal year 2021 for tax purposes. The other accumulated losses incurred after October 31, and within the taxable year are deemed to arise on the first day of the Fund's next taxable year. Distributions on common stock are declared based upon annual projections of the Fund's investment company taxable income. The Fund records all dividends and distributions payable to shareholders on the ex-dividend date and declares and distributes income dividends monthly.

The Fund is required to amortize market discounts and premiums for financial reporting purposes. This results in additional interest income in some years and decreased interest income in others for financial reporting purposes only. The Fund does not amortize market discounts or premiums for tax purposes. Therefore, the additional or decreased interest income for financial reporting purposes does not result in additional or decreased common stock dividend income.
The Fund recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only where the position is "more likely than not" to be sustained assuming examination by tax authorities. Management has analyzed the Fund's tax positions, and has concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions taken on returns filed for open tax years 2017-2019, or expected to be taken in the Fund's 2020 tax returns. The Fund is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next twelve months.
(3) Investment Advisory Agreement
T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc. (T. Rowe Price), the Fund's Investment Advisor, earned approximately $543,000 in management fees during the six months ended June 30, 2021. Management fees paid by the Fund to T. Rowe Price were calculated at 0.50% on the first $50,000,000 of the Fund's average weekly net assets, 0.40% on the next $50 million and 0.30% on average weekly net assets in excess of $100 million. T. Rowe Price's fee is calculated based on assets attributable to the Fund's common stock and senior securities. At June 30, 2021, the fee payable to T. Rowe Price was approximately $90,000, which was included in accrued expenses on the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities.
(4) Bank Credit Agreement
The Fund has a credit agreement with The Bank of Nova Scotia pursuant to which the Fund may borrow up to an aggregate amount of $100,000,000. On June 30, 2021 the total amount outstanding on the loan was $84,000,000. The term of the facility has been extended to October 2021. Amounts borrowed under the credit facility bear interest at an adjustable rate based on a margin above LIBOR. The rate paid on these borrowings is approximately .95% and will be in effect until July 30, 2021 at which time the rate will be reset. For the six months ended June 30, 2021 the weighted average rate on the loan was approximately .97% and the maximum amount borrowed during the period was $84,000,000.
The Fund pays a commitment fee to The Bank of Nova Scotia at a rate of .15% per annum for any unused portion of borrowings not to exceed $100,000,000. For the six months June 30, 2021 the Fund paid approximately $12,000 for this commitment.
The Fund has granted to The Bank of Nova Scotia a security interest in the investments and other assets of the Fund in accordance with the Credit Agreement.

(8) LIBOR Transition
In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848)—Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. The amendments in the ASU provides optional temporary financial reporting relief from the effect of certain types of contract modifications due to the planned discontinuation of the LIBOR and other interbank-offered based reference rates as of the end of 2021. The ASU is effective for certain reference rate-related contract modifications that occur during the period March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. Management has reviewed the requirements and believes the adoption of this ASU will not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
(9) Covid-19 Risks
In early 2020, an outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) emerged globally. This coronavirus has resulted in closing international borders, enhanced health screenings, healthcare service preparation and delivery, quarantines, cancellations, disruptions to supply chains and customer activity, as well as general public concern and uncertainty. The impact of this outbreak has negatively affected the worldwide economy, as well as the economies of individual countries, the financial

health of individual companies and the market in general in significant and unforeseen ways. The future impact of COVID-19 is currently unknown, and it may exacerbate other risks that apply to the Fund, including political, social and economic risks. Any such impact could adversely affect the Fund's performance, the performance of the securities in which the Fund Invests and may lead to losses on your investment in the Fund. The ultimate impact of COVID-19 on the financial performance of the Fund's investments is not reasonably estimable at this time.
(10) Subsequent Events
The Fund has evaluated the need for additional disclosures and/or adjustments resulting from subsequent events through the date the financial statements were issued. Based on this evaluation, no adjustments were required to the financial statements as of June 30, 2021.

Supplemental Information (Unaudited)
Availability of Portfolio Holdings
The Fund provides a complete schedule of its portfolio holdings quarterly. The lists of holdings as of the end of the second and fourth quarters appear in the Fund's semi-annual and annual reports to shareholders, respectively. The schedules of portfolio holdings as of the end of the first and third quarters are filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on Form NPORT-P (the "Forms") within 60 days of the end of the first and third quarters. Shareholders can look up the Forms on the SEC's web site at www.sec.gov. The Forms may also be reviewed and copied at the SEC's public reference room in Washington, D.C. You may call the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330 for information about the SEC's web site and their public reference room.
Compliance with CFTC Regulation of Transactions in Commodity Interests
The Fund does not currently intend to engage in transactions in commodity interests such as futures contracts, options on futures contracts, and swaps. However, the Fund may in the future enter into interest rate transactions, such as swaps, caps, collars and floors for the purpose or with the effect of hedging its portfolio and/or its payment obligations with respect to senior securities. In addition, the Fund has reserved the right, subject to the approval of the Board of Directors, to purchase and sell financial futures contracts and options on such futures contracts for the purpose of hedging its portfolio securities (or portfolio securities which it expects to acquire) against anticipated changes in prevailing interest rates. To the extent it engages in transactions in commodity interests, the Fund expects their use to be limited such that the Fund may claim the exclusion from the definition of the term "commodity pool operator" available under Regulation 4.5 of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission under the Commodity Exchange Act, and will not therefor be subject to regulation as a pool operator under the Commodity Exchange Act.
Common Stock Transactions
The Fund may purchase shares of its Common Stock in the open market when the Common Stock trades at a discount to net asset value or at other times if the Fund determines such purchases are advisable. There can be no assurance that the Fund will take such action in the event of a market discount to net asset value or that Fund purchases will reduce a discount.
