Credit quality is a measure of a bond issuer's ability to repay interest and principal in a timely manner. The credit ratings shown are based on each portfolio security’s rating as provided by Standard and Poor’s, Moody’s Investors Service and/or Fitch Ratings, Ltd. and typically range from AAA (highest) to D (lowest), or an equivalent and/or similar rating. For this purpose, when two or more of the agencies have assigned differing ratings to a security, the lowest rating is used. Securities that are unrated by all three agencies are reflected as such. The credit quality of the investments in the Fund's portfolio does not apply to the stability or safety of the Fund. These ratings are updated monthly and may change over time. Please note, the Fund itself has not been rated by an independent rating agency.

          The difference between total assets and net assets, if any, is due 
          primarily to the Fund’s use of borrowings; net assets do not include 
          borrowings. The Fund may employ leverage in the form of loans, 
          preferred stock, reverse repurchase agreements and/or other 
          instruments. When the Fund engages in transactions that have a 
          leveraging effect on the Fund’s portfolio, the value of the Fund 
          will be more volatile and all other risks will tend to be compounded.
