Risk Information: The price at which a closed-end fund trades often varies from its net asset value (NAV). Some funds have market prices below their NAVs – referred to as a discount. Conversely, some funds have market prices above their NAVs – referred to as a premium. Investing involves risk. Principal loss is possible.
Special purpose acquisition companies (“SPACs”) are collective investment structures that pool capital in order to seek potential acquisition opportunities. SPACs and similar entities, often referred to as “blank check” companies, have no operating history or ongoing business other than to seek a potential acquisition. Certain SPACs may seek acquisitions only in limited industries or regions, which may increase the volatility of their prices. Investments in SPACs may be illiquid and/or be subject to restrictions on resale. To the extent the SPAC is invested in cash or similar securities, this may impact a Fund’s ability to meet its investment objective.
Diversification does not ensure a profit or a guarantee against loss.
Past performance is no guarantee of future results.
