The offering of Units is only made by prospectus. The prospectus contains important detailed information about the securities being offered. Copies of the prospectus may be obtained from a registered representative of any of the Dealers listed in the prospectus. Investors should read the prospectus before making an investment decision.

Commissions, management fees and expenses all may be associated with an investment in the Units. The Units are not guaranteed, their value may change frequently and past performance may not be repeated.

The fund is not a complete investment program. An investment in the fund involves a high degree of risk and should be considered speculative. Investors could lose some or all of their investment. For a summary of the risks of an investment in the fund, please see the Principal Risks of the Fund section of the prospectus. Shares of closed-end investment funds are generally not redeemable and trade in the secondary market. Shares of closed-end funds frequently trade at a discount to their net asset value, which may increase risk of loss. The risk may be greater for investors expecting to sell their shares in a relatively short period after completion of the fund's initial public offering.

This is not an offer to sell securities and is not a solicitation of an offer to buy securities in any jurisdiction where the offer or sale is not permitted. Also, before your clients invest or send money, they should carefully read the fund's prospectus and consider carefully the risks they assume when they invest in the fund's common shares. There can be no assurance that the fund will achieve its investment objectives or be able to structure its investment portfolio as anticipated.
