Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal.

A covered call is a transaction in which the investor selling call options owns the equivalent amount of the underlying security. Call options are financial contracts that give the option buyer the right, but not the obligation, to buy a security at a specified price within a specific time period. The investor's long position in the asset is the "cover" because it means the seller can deliver the shares if the buyer of the call option chooses to exercise.

Writing call options involves risks. By writing covered call options, the Fund will lose money if the exercise price of an option is below the market price of the asset on which an option was written and the premium received by the Fund for writing the option is insufficient to make up for that loss. The Fund will also give up the opportunity to benefit from potential increases in the value of a Fund asset above the option’s exercise price. Nevertheless, the Fund will continue to bear the risk of declines in the value of the covered assets. Derivatives may be difficult to sell, unwind or value.

There is no guarantee that dividend-paying stocks will continue to pay dividends. Writing call options may significantly reduce or eliminate the amount of dividends that generally are taxable to non-corporate shareholders at a lower rate.

Covered call options also are subject to federal tax rules that: (1) limit the allowance of certain losses or deductions; (2) convert long-term capital gains into higher taxed short-term capital gains or ordinary income; (3) convert ordinary losses or deductions to capital losses, the deductibility of which are more limited; and/or (4) cause the recognition of income or gains without a corresponding receipt of cash.

Investments in small and/or medium-sized companies typically exhibit greater risk and higher volatility than larger, more established companies.

LIBOR risk is the risk that potential changes related to the use of the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) could have adverse impacts on financial instruments which reference LIBOR. The potential abandonment of LIBOR could affect the value and liquidity of instruments which reference LIBOR.

Natural or environmental disasters, such as earthquakes, fires, floods, hurricanes, tsunamis, and other severe weather-related phenomena generally, and widespread disease, including pandemics and epidemics, have been and can be highly disruptive to economies and markets, adversely impacting individual companies, sectors, industries, markets, currencies, interest and inflation rates, credit ratings, investor sentiment, and other factors affecting the value of the Fund’s investments. Given the increasing interdependence among global economies and markets, conditions in one country, market, or region are increasingly likely to adversely affect markets, issuers, and/or foreign exchange rates in other countries. These disruptions could prevent the Fund from executing advantageous investment decisions in a timely manner and could negatively impact the Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective. Any such event(s) could have a significant adverse impact on the value and risk profile of the Fund.
