Principal Risk Factors: Risks are inherent in all investing.
Certain risks applicable to the Fund are identified below, which
includes the risk that you could lose some or all of your
investment in the Fund. The principal risks of investing in the
Fund are spelled out in the Fund's annual shareholder reports. The
order of the below risk factors does not indicate the significance
of any particular risk factor. The Fund also files reports, proxy
statements and other information that is available for
review.
Past performance is no assurance of future results. Investment
return and market value of an investment in the Fund will
fluctuate. Shares, when sold, may be worth more or less than their
original cost. There can be no assurance that the Fund's investment
objectives will be achieved. The Fund may not be appropriate for
all investors.
Market risk is the risk that a particular security, or shares of
a fund in general may fall in value. Securities are subject to
market fluctuations caused by such factors as general economic
conditions, political events, regulatory or market developments,
changes in interest rates and perceived trends in securities
prices. Shares of a fund could decline in value or underperform
other investments as a result. In addition, local, regional or
global events such as war, acts of terrorism, spread of infectious
disease or other public health issues, recessions, natural
disasters or other events could have significant negative impact on
a fund.
Current market conditions risk is the risk that a particular
investment, or shares of the fund in general, may fall in value due
to current market conditions. As a means to fight inflation, the
Federal Reserve and certain foreign central banks have raised
interest rates and expect to continue to do so, and the Federal
Reserve has announced that it intends to reverse previously
implemented quantitative easing. Recent and potential future bank
failures could result in disruption to the broader banking industry
or markets generally and reduce confidence in financial
institutions and the economy as a whole, which may also heighten
market volatility and reduce liquidity. In February 2022, Russia
invaded Ukraine which has caused and could continue to cause
significant market disruptions and volatility within the markets in
Russia, Europe, and the United States. The hostilities and
sanctions resulting from those hostilities have and could continue
to have a significant impact on certain fund investments as well as
fund performance and liquidity. The COVID-19 global pandemic, or
any future public health crisis, and the ensuing policies enacted
by governments and central banks have caused and may continue to
cause significant volatility and uncertainty in global financial
markets, negatively impacting global growth prospects.
Net investment income paid by the Fund to its shareholders is
derived from the premiums it receives from writing (selling) call
options and from the dividends and interest it receives from the
equity securities and other investments held in the Fund's
portfolio and short-term gains thereon. Premiums from writing
(selling) call options and dividends and interest payments made by
the securities in the Fund's portfolio can vary widely over time.
Dividends on equity securities are not fixed but are declared at
the discretion of an issuer's board of directors. There is no
guarantee that the issuers of the equity securities in which the
Fund invests will declare dividends in the future or that if
declared they will remain at current levels. The Fund cannot assure
as to what percentage of the distributions paid on the common
shares, if any, will consist of qualified dividend income or
long-term capital gains, both of which are taxed at lower rates for
individuals than are ordinary income and short-term capital
gains.
Because the Fund will invest primarily in securities of non-U.S.
issuers, which are generally denominated in non-U.S. currencies,
there are risks not typically associated with investing in
securities of U.S. issuers. Non-U.S. issuers are subject to higher
volatility than securities of U.S. issuers. An investor may lose
money if the local currency of a non-U.S. market depreciates
against the U.S. dollar. The Fund may invest from time to time a
substantial amount of its assets in issuers located in a single
country or region.
Investments in securities of issuers located in emerging market
countries are considered speculative and there is a heightened risk
of investing in emerging markets securities. Financial and other
reporting by companies and government entities also may be less
reliable in emerging market countries. Shareholder claims that are
available in the U.S., as well as regulatory oversight and
authority that is common in the U.S., including for claims based on
fraud, may be difficult or impossible for shareholders of
securities in emerging market countries or for U.S. authorities to
pursue.
Political or economic disruptions in European countries, even in
countries in which a fund is not invested, may adversely affect
security values and thus the fund's holdings. A significant number
of countries in Europe are member states in the European Union
("EU"), and the member states no longer control their own monetary
policies. In these member states, the authority to direct monetary
policies, including money supply and official interest rates for
the Euro, is exercised by the European Central Bank.
Investments in issuers located in the United Kingdom may subject
a fund to regulatory, political, currency, security and economic
risk specific to the United Kingdom. The United Kingdom has one of
the largest economies in Europe and is heavily dependent on trade
with the EU, and to a lesser extent the United States and China.
The United Kingdom vote to leave the EU and other recent rapid
political and social change throughout Europe make the extent and
nature of future economic development in Europe and the effect on
securities issued by European issuers difficult to predict.
The Fund will engage in practices and strategies that will
result in exposure to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates, thus
subjecting it to foreign currency risk.
The market value of REIT shares and the ability of the REITs to
distribute income may be adversely affected by several factors.
The Fund's use of derivatives may result in losses greater than
if they had not been used, may require the Fund to sell or purchase
portfolio securities at inopportune times, may limit the amount of
appreciation the Fund can realize on an investment, or may cause
the Fund to hold a security that it might otherwise sell.
Use of leverage can result in additional risk and cost, and can
magnify the effect of any losses.
In the event of conversion to an open-end management investment
company, the Common Shares would cease to be listed on the NYSE or
other national securities exchange, and such Common Shares would
thereafter be redeemable at NAV at the option of the Common
Shareholder, rather than traded in the secondary market at market
price, which, for closed-end fund shares, may at times be at a
premium to NAV. Any Borrowings or Preferred Shares of the Fund
would need to be repaid or redeemed upon conversion and,
accordingly, a portion of the Fund's portfolio may need to be
liquidated, potentially resulting in, among other things, lower
current income.
The risks of investing in the Fund are spelled out in the
shareholder reports and other regulatory filings.
