Disclosures
Blend Index consists of 60% S&P 500 Index and
40% Barclays Aggregate Bond Index. S&P 500 Index is a capitalization-weighted
index of 500 stocks. The index is designed to measure performance of the broad
domestic economy based on the changing aggregate market value of these 500
stocks. The Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index is an unmanaged index of
investment-grade fixed-rate debt issues with maturities of at least one year.
This unmanaged index does not reflect fees and expenses. The S&P 500 and Blend
Indices are indices only and cannot be invested in directly.
The RiverNorth Closed-end Fund Index measures the
performance of the taxable closed-end fund market through a representative 75
funds. The index rebalances every 12 months and is calculated using the total
return of the underlying investments. Please see www.rivernorth.com for more
information. The RiverNorth Closed-end Fund Index is an index only and cannot
be invested in directly.
Performance data quoted represents past
performance, which is not a guarantee of future results. Current performance
may be lower or higher than the performance quoted. The principal value and
investment return of an investment will fluctuate so that your shares, when
redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. You can obtain
performance data current to the most recent month end by calling (888) 848-7569.
Total return measures net investment income and capital gain or loss from
portfolio investments. All performance shown assumes reinvestment of dividends
and capital gains distributions.
Per their prospectuses, the Funds' primary
benchmark is the S&P 500. The Barclays Capital Aggregate Bond Index is a
secondary benchmark.
Investments in closed end funds are subject to investment
risk, including the possible loss of the entire principal amount that you
invest. The value of these securities, like other market investments, may move
up or down, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably. At any point in time an
investment may be worth less than the original investment, even after
considering the reinvestment of fund dividends and distributions. Closed-end
funds also carry price risk, or the risk that shares may trade at prices
different from their net asset values.
An investment in an exchange-traded fund (ETF)
generally presents the same primary risks as an investment in a conventional
fund (i.e., one that is not exchange traded) that has the same investment
objectives, strategies, and policies. The price of an ETF can fluctuate up or
down, and the Fund could lose money investing in an ETF if the prices of the
securities owned by the ETF go down. In addition, ETFs may be subject to the
following risks that do not apply to conventional funds: (i) the market price
of an ETF's shares may trade above or below their net asset value; (ii) an
active trading market for an ETF's shares may not develop or be maintained;
or (iii) trading of an ETF's shares may be halted if the listing exchange's
officials deem such action appropriate, the shares are delisted from the
exchange, or the activation of market-wide "circuit breakers" (which are tied
to large decreases in stock prices) halts stock trading generally.
Investments in international markets present special risks
including currency fluctuation, the potential for diplomatic and political
instability, regulatory and liquidity risks, foreign taxation and differences
in auditing and other financial standards. Risks of foreign investing are
generally intensified for investments in emerging markets.
The Funds are subject to the risks associated
their investments in emerging market securities, which tend to be more volatile
and less liquid than securities traded in developed countries.
