Past performance is not indicative of future results, which may vary. Please note that you cannot invest directly in an index.Source: Barclays Capital, Bloomberg; as of January 31, 20111.The above-posted illustration demonstrates a steady decline in coupon returns for the Barclays Capital US Aggregate Bond Index and a structural drop in Treasury yields over the past 30 years. With the share of Treasuries in the Barclays Capital US Aggregate Bond Index never falling below 20% over the past three decades and accounting for 34.0% of the index as of December 31, 2010,we believe the index’s historical total return structure is partly correlated to the declining Treasury yields. Source: Barclays Capital. 2.The return components (i.e total return) accounts for two categories of fixed income return: income (i.e. coupon return) and price return. Income includes interest paid by the fixed-income investments, whereas price return represents the change in the market price of the fixed income security, which, depending on market conditions, can be negative.

Over the last 30 years bonds have had large coupons offering attractive return that has been often times enough to offset price change during periods of rising interest rates:

Important Disclosures

Mutual Funds involve risk including the possible loss of principal. Closed-end funds are subject toinvestment advisory and other expenses, which will be indirectly paid by the Fund. There is a risk thatissuers and counterparties will not make payments on securities and other investments held by theFund, resulting in losses to the Fund. The Fund's use of derivative instruments involves risks differentfrom, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities and othertraditional investments. Emerging market countries may have relatively unstable governments, weakereconomies, and less-developed legal systems with fewer security holder rights. The value of the Fund'sinvestments in fixed income securities and derivatives will fluctuate with changes in interest rates.Currency trading risks include market risk, credit risk and country risk. Investments in foreign securitiescould subject the Fund to greater risks including, currency fluctuation, economic conditions, anddifferent governmental and accounting standards. The Fund may invest in high yield securities, alsoknown as "junk bonds." High yield securities provide greater income and opportunity for gain, but entailgreater risk of loss of principal. Using derivatives to increase the Fund's combined long and shortexposure creates leverage, which can magnify the Fund's potential for gain or loss. The default rate onunderlying mortgage loans or asset loans may be higher than anticipated, potentially reducingpayments to the Fund. As a non-diversified fund, the Fund may invest more than 5% of its total assetsin the securities of one or more issuers. The Fund will incur a loss as a result of a short position if theprice of the short position instrument increases in value between the date of the short position sale andthe date on which the Fund purchases an offsetting position.
