Some Important Information About Closed-End Funds

Trading Costs

While expense ratios may be relatively low, investors must still pay brokerage commissions to purchase and sell shares for all closed-end funds. Investors, particularly those who trade frequently, should consider these additional expenses when reviewing the total costs associated with their investment.

Closed-end fund shares also carry specific risks investors should understand:

  • Closed-end funds trade on exchanges at prices that may be more or less than their NAVs.
  • There is no guarantee that an investor can sell shares at a price greater than or equal to the purchase price.
  • Closed-end funds often use leverage, which increases a fund's risk or volatility.
  • Closed-end funds are permitted to invest in illiquid securities, which may increase risk.

Closed-end funds have a one-time initial public offering and then are subsequently traded on the secondary market through one of the stock exchanges. The investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares may be worth more or less than the original cost. Shares of closed-end funds may trade above (a premium) or below (a discount) the net asset value (NAV) of the fund’s portfolio. There is no assurance that a fund will achieve its investment objective. Past performance does not guarantee future results.

There can be no assurance that the Board will maintain the Fund's distribution rate at a particular level, or that the Board will continue a managed distribution policy. Additionally, distributions may include return of capital as well as net investment income and capital gains. If the Fund's investments do not generate sufficient income, the Fund may be required to liquidate a portion of its portfolio to fund these distributions. If the Fund's distributions consist of a large amount of return of capital, it may result in a deterioration of the Fund's assets.
