About risk

Prices of equity securities change in response to many factors, including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of its assets, general economic conditions, interest rates, investor perceptions and market liquidity.

Fixed income products are subject to risk, including credit risk of the issuer and the effects of changing interest rates. Market prices of fixed income securities with intermediate lives generally fluctuate more in response to changes in interest rates than do market prices of municipal securities with shorter lives, but generally fluctuate less than market prices of municipal securities with longer lives.

High-yield (junk) bonds involve a greater risk of default or price changes due to changes in the credit quality of the issuer.

Investments in convertible securities are subject to the risks associated with both fixed income securities, including credit risk and interest rate risk, and common stocks. Convertible securities may have lower yields because they offer the opportunity to be converted into stocks and if the stock is underperforming and the bond does not convert, then the bond may have a lower return than a non-convertible bond.

Preferred stock generally has a preference as to dividends and liquidation over an issuer’s common stock but ranks junior to debt securities in an issuer’s capital structure. Unlike interest payments on debt securities, preferred stock dividends are payable only if declared by the issuer’s board of directors. Preferred stock also may be subject to optional or mandatory redemption provisions.

Most senior loans are made to corporations with below investment-grade credit ratings and are subject to significant credit, valuation and liquidity risk. The value of the collateral securing a loan may not be sufficient to cover the amount owed, may be found invalid or may be used to pay other outstanding obligations of the borrower under applicable law. There is also the risk that the collateral may be difficult to liquidate, or that a majority of the collateral may be illiquid.

Municipal securities are subject to the risk that litigation, legislation, or other political events, local business or economic conditions or the bankruptcy of the issuer could have a significant effect on an issuer’s ability to make payments of principal and/or interest.

Commodities may subject an investor to greater volatility than traditional securities such as stocks and bonds.

The risks of investing in securities of foreign issuers located in developing or emerging countries may be more negatively affected by fluctuations in foreign currencies, political and economic instability, and foreign taxation issues than in more developed countries.

There is no assurance that a closed-end fund will achieve its investment objective. Like any stock, a closed-end fund’s share price will fluctuate with market conditions and other factors. At the time of sale, your shares may have a market price that is above or below net asset value, and may be worth more or less than your original investment. Accordingly, it is possible to lose money investing in a closed-end fund.

Investments in real estate related instruments may be affected by economic, legal, or environmental factors that affect property values, rents or occupancies of real estate. Real estate companies, including REITs or similar structures, tend to be small and mid-cap companies and their shares may be more volatile and less liquid.
