Fund Objectives

The Fund has three principal objectives. These are: - to obtain above-average income yield on its investments; - to protect the value of its investments and to achieve long-term capital appreciation consistent with the fulfillment of the first two objectives. The Fund needs approval to change its investment objective from a majority of its investors who vote at a meeting held for this purpose, unless we are required by law to make the change.
