\nThe Funds\u2019 shares are traded on the New York Stock Exchange. Similar to stocks, Fund share prices fluctuate with market conditions and, at the time of sale, may be worth more or less than the original investment. Shares of closed-end funds often trade at a discount to their net asset value, and can increase an investor\u2019s risk of loss. All investments are subject to risk, including the risk of loss.<\/p>
\nThis press release contains \"forward-looking statements\" as defined under the U.S. federal securities laws. Generally, the words \"believe,\" \"expect,\" \"intend,\" \"estimate,\" \"anticipate,\" \"project,\" \"will,\" and similar expressions identify forward looking statements, which generally are not historical in nature. Forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual future results to differ significantly from each Fund\u2019s present expectations or projections indicated in any forward-looking statements. These risks include, but are not limited to, changes in economic and political conditions; regulatory and legal changes; leverage risk; valuation risk; interest rate risk; tax risk; disruption to investment advisory, administration and other service arrangements; and other risks discussed in the Fund\u2019s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date they are made.
