Fund Risks

Please see the prospectus for a more detailed description of these risks.

Borrowing Risk - borrowings increase fund expenses and are subject to repayment, possibly at inopportune times.

Closed-End Fund Risk - closed-end funds are exchange traded, may trade at a discount to their net asset values and may deploy leverage.

Convertible Security Risk - the market value of convertible securities adjust with interest rates and the value of the underlying stock.

Credit Derivatives Risk - the use of credit derivatives is high specialized, involves default, counterparty and liquidity risks and may not perfectly correlate to the underlying asset or liability being hedged.

Currency Risk - foreign currencies will rise or decline relative to the U.S. dollar.

Distressed and Defaulted Securities Risk - defaulted securities carry the risk of uncertainty of repayment.

Equity Risk - equity securities may experience volatility and the value of equity securities may move in opposite directions from each other and from other equity markets generally.

Fixed Income Risk - the market value of fixed income securities adjust with interest rates and are subject to issuer default.

Foreign/Emerging Market Risk - foreign securities may be subject to inefficient or volatile markets, different regulatory regimes or different tax policies. These risks may be enhanced in emerging markets.

Floating Interest Rate Risk - loans pay interest based on the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) and a decline in LIBOR could negatively impact the Fund's return.

Investment Style Risk - investment strategies may come in and out of favor with investors and may underperform or outperform at times.

Loans Risk - loans may be unrated or rated below investment grade and the pledged collateral may lose value. Secondary trading in loans is not fully-developed and may result in illiquidity.

Management Risk - there is no guarantee that the adviser's sub-adviser's investment decisions will produce the desired results.

Market Risk - economic conditions, interest rates and political events may affect the securities markets.

New Fund Risk - there can be no assurance that the Fund will grow to, or maintain an economically viable size.

Portfolio Turnover Risk - increased portfolio turnover results in higher brokerage expenses and may impact the tax status of distributions.

Preferred Stock Risk - preferred stocks generally pay dividends, but may be less liquid than common stocks, have less priority than debt instruments and may be subject to redemption by the issuer.

Security Risk - value of the Fund may increase or decrease in response to the prospects of the issuers of securities and loans held in the Fund.

Swap Risk - swap agreements are subject to counterparty default risk and may not perform as intended.

Underlying Fund Risk - underlying funds have additional fees, may utilize leverage, may not correlate to an intended index and may trade at a discount to their net asset values.

Valuation Risk - Loans and fixed-income securities are traded "over the counter" and because there is no centralized information regarding trading, the valuation of loans and fixed-income securities may vary.

Asset Class Definitions

Cash - Cash holding includes the value of assets that can be converted into cash immediately.

Government - Debt owed by the U.S. Federal government.

Preferred - A class of ownership in a corporation that has a higher claim on the assets and earnings than common stock.
