Options involve risk and are not suitable for everyone. Prior to buying or selling an option, your client must receive a copy of CHARACTERISTICS AND RISKS OF STANDARDIZED OPTIONS.
All or a portion of the Fund’s distributions may be treated for tax purposes as a return of capital, however, the final characterization of such distributions will be reported annually on Form 1099- DIV. The final tax status of the distributions may differ substantially from the above dividend information.
Investments in derivatives may be risker than other types of investments. They may be more sensitive to changes in economic or market conditions than other types of investments. Many derivatives create leverage, which could lead to greater volatility and losses that significantly exceed the original investment. Positions in equity options can reduce equity market risk, but can limit the opportunity to profit from an increase in the market value of stocks in exchange for upfront cash as the time of selling the call option. Unusual market conditions or the lack of a ready market for any particular option at a specific time may reduce the effectiveness of option strategies and could result in losses. Investors can lose premium paid to purchase the option if it is not exercised.
