Investors should consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses carefully before investing. For a prospectus or summary prospectus with this and other information about the Fund, please contact your financial advisor. Read the prospectus or summary prospectus carefully before investing.

 

The Fund has been organized as a continuously offered, non-diversified closed-end management investment company that is operated as an interval fund.

  • There is not expected to be any secondary trading market in the Shares. Thus, an investment in the Fund may not be suitable for investors who may need the money they invest within a specified timeframe.
  • Unlike most closed-end funds, the Shares are not listed on any securities exchange. The Fund will provide liquidity through quarterly offers to repurchase a limited amount of the Fund’s Shares (at least 5%). Although the Fund will make quarterly offers to repurchase, the number of Shares tendered in connection with a repurchase offer may exceed the number of Shares the Fund has offered to repurchase, in which case not all of your Shares tendered in that offer will be repurchased. Hence, you may not be able to sell your Shares when and/or in the amount that you desire.
  • Shareholders should not expect to be able to sell their Shares in a secondary market transaction regardless of how the Fund performs. An investment in the Fund is considered to be of limited liquidity.
  • An investor will pay a sales load of up to 5.00% on the amounts it invests in Class A Shares. If you pay the maximum aggregate 5.00% for sales load, you must experience a total return on your net investment of 5.27% in order to recover these expenses.
  • The Fund may charge a performance fee on net profits including unrealized gains. There is a risk that such unrealized gains on which a performance fee is charged may never be realized.
  • There is no assurance that annual distributions paid by the Fund will be maintained at the targeted level or that dividends will be paid at all.
  • The Fund’s distributions may be funded from unlimited amounts of offering proceeds or borrowings, which may constitute a return of capital and reduce the amount of capital available to the Fund for investment. Any capital returned to Shareholders through distributions will be distributed after payment of fees and expenses.
  • The Fund’s distributions may be funded from sources not available in the future, and such distributions may be unrelated to the Fund’s performance.
  • A return of capital to Shareholders is a return of a portion of their original investment in the Fund, and reduces the tax basis of their investment. As a result of such reduction in tax basis, Shareholders may be subject to tax in connection with the sale of Fund Shares, even if such Shares are sold at a loss relative to their original investment.
  • The Fund’s distributions may arise as a result of expense reimbursements provided by the Adviser, which are subject to repayment by the Fund. Shareholders should understand that any such distributions are not based on the Fund’s investment performance and can only be sustained if the Fund achieves positive investment performance in future periods and/or the Adviser continues to make such expense reimbursements. Shareholders should also understand that the Fund’s future repayments will reduce the distributions that a Shareholder would otherwise receive.
