non-diversified, closed-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Fund&#146;s primary investment objective is to provide a high level of current income. The Fund&#146;s secondary
investment objective is to seek capital appreciation consistent with the Fund&#146;s strategy and its primary objective. The Fund&#146;s investment adviser is Gabelli Funds, LLC (the &#147;Investment Adviser&#148;). An investment in the Fund is not
appropriate for all investors. We cannot assure you that the Fund&#146;s objectives will be achieved. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Under normal market
conditions, the Fund will attempt to achieve its objectives by investing at least 80% of its assets in equity securities of companies principally engaged in the gold industry and the natural resources industries. The Fund will invest at least 25% of
its assets in the equity securities of companies principally engaged in the exploration, mining, fabrication, processing, distribution or trading of gold or the financing, managing, controlling or operating of companies engaged in
&#147;gold-related&#148; activities. In addition, the Fund will invest at least 25% of its assets in the equity securities of companies principally engaged in the exploration, production or distribution of natural resources, such as gas, oil, paper,
food and agriculture, forestry products, metals and minerals as well as related transportation companies and equipment manufacturers. The Fund may invest in the securities of companies located anywhere in the world and under normal conditions will
invest at least 40% of its assets in the securities of issuers located in at least three countries other than the United States.&nbsp;As part of its investment strategy, the Fund intends to generate gains through an option strategy of writing
(selling) covered call options on equity securities in its portfolio. When the Fund sells a covered call option, it generates gains in the form of the premium paid by the buyer of the call option, but the Fund forgoes the opportunity to participate
in any increase in the value of the underlying equity security above the exercise price of the option. See &#147;Investment Objectives and Policies.&#148; </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT

about the dividend period, dividend rate, any call protection or non-call period and other matters. We may not sell any of our shares through agents, underwriters or dealers without delivery of a Prospectus Supplement describing the method and terms

to reorganization, derivative instruments, debt (including obligations of the United&nbsp;States&nbsp;Government) and money market instruments. As part of its investment strategy, the Fund
intends to generate gains through an option strategy which will normally consist of writing (selling) call options on equity securities in its portfolio (&#147;covered calls&#148;), but may, in amounts up to 15% of the Fund&#146;s assets, consist of
writing uncovered call options on securities not held by the Fund, indices comprised of Gold Companies or Natural Resources Companies or exchange traded funds comprised of such issuers and put options on securities in its portfolio. When the Fund
sells a call option, it generates gains in the form of the premium paid by the buyer of the call option, but the Fund forgoes the opportunity to participate in any increase in the value of the underlying equity security above the exercise price of
the option. When the Fund sells a put option, it generates gains in the form of the premium paid by the buyer of the put option, but the Fund will have the obligation to buy the underlying security at the exercise price if the price of the security
decreases below the exercise price of the option. See &#147;Investment Objectives and Policies.&#148; </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">There is a risk that the

Investment Adviser looks for securities that it believes may have a superior yield as well as capital gains potential and that allow the Fund to earn possible gains from writing covered calls on such stocks. </FONT></P>

STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">On May 7, 2013, the Fund completed the placement of $100&nbsp;million of Cumulative Preferred Shares (&#147;Preferred Shares&#148;) consisting of 4&nbsp;million shares designated as Series&nbsp;B and
paying dividends of an annual rate equal to 5.00% of liquidation preference. The Preferred Shares are senior to the common shares and result in the financial leveraging of the common shares. Such leveraging tends to magnify both the risks and
opportunities to common shareholders. Dividends on the Preferred Shares are cumulative. The Fund is required by the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the &#147;1940 Act&#148;) and by the Statement of Preferences to meet certain asset
coverage tests with respect to the Preferred Shares. If the Fund fails to meet these requirements and does not correct such failure, the Fund may be required to redeem, in part or in full, the Preferred Shares at the redemption price of $25 per
share plus an amount equal to the accumulated and unpaid dividends whether or not declared on such shares in order to meet the requirements. Additionally, failure to meet the foregoing asset coverage requirements could restrict the Fund&#146;s
ability to pay dividends to common shareholders and could lead to sales of portfolio securities at inopportune times. The income received on the Fund&#146;s assets may vary in a manner unrelated to the fixed rate, which could have either a
beneficial or detrimental impact on net investment income and gains available to common shareholders. If the Fund has insufficient investment income and gains, all or a portion of the distributions to preferred shareholders would come from the
common shareholders&#146; capital. Such distributions reduce the net assets attributable to common shareholders since the liquidation value of the preferred shareholders is constant. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Fund may issue additional series of preferred shares or borrow money to leverage its investments. If the Fund&#146;s Board of Trustees
(the &#147;Board of Trustees,&#148; each member of the Board of Trustees individually a &#147;Trustee&#148;) determines that it may be advantageous to the holders of the Fund&#146;s common shares for the Fund to utilize such leverage, the Fund may
issue additional series of preferred shares or borrow money. Any preferred shares issued by the Fund will pay distributions either at a fixed rate or at rates that will be reset frequently based on short-term interest rates. Any borrowings may also
be at fixed or floating rates. Leverage creates a greater risk of loss as well as a potential for more gains for the common shares than if leverage were not used. See &#147;Risk Factors and Special Considerations&#151;Leverage Risks.&#148; The Fund
may also engage in investment management techniques which will not be considered senior securities if the Fund establishes in a segregated account cash or other liquid securities or sets aside assets on the accounting records equal to the
Fund&#146;s obligations in respect of such techniques. </FONT></P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Fund intends to make regular monthly cash distributions of all or a portion of its investment company taxable income (which includes
ordinary income and realized short-term capital gains) to common shareholders. The Fund also intends to make annual distributions of its realized capital gains (which is the excess of net long-term capital gains over net short-term capital losses).
<B>A portion of the Fund&#146;s distributions on its common shares for recent periods have included, or have been estimated to include, a return of capital. A portion of the Fund&#146;s common share distributions for the fiscal years ending 2008,
2009, 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014 included a return of capital. A portion of the distributions to the preferred shareholders may also be sourced from capital attributable to the common shareholders. Any return of capital that is a component of a
distribution is not sourced from earnings and profits of the Fund and that portion should not be considered by investors as yield or total return on their investment in the Fund.</B> <B>Further, while any return of capital that is a component of a
distribution will not necessarily be taxed in the current period, it will have the effect of lowering the cost basis, which may lead to higher taxes upon the sale of the securities.</B> Various factors will affect the level of the Fund&#146;s
income, such as its asset mix and use of covered call strategies. To permit the Fund to maintain more stable monthly distributions, the Fund may from time to time distribute less than the entire amount of income earned in a particular period, which
would be available to supplement future distributions. As a result, the distributions paid by the Fund for any particular monthly period may be more or less than the amount of income actually earned by the Fund during that period. Because the
Fund&#146;s distribution policy may be changed by the Board of Trustees at any time and the Fund&#146;s income will fluctuate, there can be no assurance that the Fund will pay dividends or distributions at a particular rate. See &#147;Dividends and

effort to generate positive total return. The risks of these techniques, such as option writing, leverage, concentration in certain industries, and investing in emerging markets, are described in the following paragraphs. Taken together these and
other techniques represent a risk that the Fund will experience a negative total return even in market environments that are generally positive and that the Fund&#146;s returns, both positive and negative, may be more volatile than if the Fund did
not utilize these investment techniques. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I>Industry Risks.</I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Fund&#146;s investments will be
concentrated in the gold and natural resources industries. Because the Fund is concentrated in these industries, it may present more risks than if it were broadly diversified over numerous industries and sectors of the economy. A downturn in the

changes in inflation or expectations regarding inflation in various countries, the availability of supplies of gold, changes in industrial and commercial demand, gold sales by governments, central banks or international agencies, investment
speculation, monetary and other economic policies of various governments and government restrictions on private ownership of gold. The Investment Adviser&#146;s judgments about trends in the prices of securities of Gold Companies may prove to be

larger impact on the Fund than on an investment company that does not invest significantly in such industries. Such industries can be significantly affected by the supply of and demand for the indicated commodities and related services, exploration
and production spending, government regulations, world events and economic conditions. The oil, paper, food and agriculture, forestry products, metals and minerals industries can be significantly affected by events relating to international
political developments, the success of exploration projects, commodity prices, and tax and government regulations. The stock prices of Natural Resources Companies may also experience greater price volatility than other types of common stocks.
Securities issued by Natural Resources Companies are sensitive to changes in the prices of, and in supply and demand for, the indicated commodities. The value of securities issued by Natural Resources Companies may be affected by changes in overall
market movements, changes in interest rates, or factors affecting a particular industry or commodity, such as weather, embargoes, tariffs, policies of commodity cartels and international economic, political and regulatory developments. The

commodities. To maintain or increase their revenue level, these companies or their customers need to maintain or expand their reserves through exploration of new sources of supply, through the development of existing sources, through acquisitions,
or through long-term contracts to acquire reserves. The financial performance of Gold Companies and Natural Resources Companies may be adversely affected if they, or the companies to whom they provide products or services, are unable to

Various governmental authorities have the power to enforce compliance with these regulations and the permits issued under them, and violators are subject to administrative, civil and criminal penalties, including civil fines, injunctions or both.
Stricter laws, regulations or enforcement policies could be enacted in the future, which would likely increase compliance costs and may adversely affect the financial performance of Gold Companies and Natural Resources Companies. See &#147;Risk

Risk.</I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The operations and financial performance of Gold Companies and Natural Resources Companies may be directly affected by the prices of the indicated commodities, especially those Gold Companies and Natural Resources
Companies for whom the commodities they own are significant assets. Commodity prices fluctuate for several reasons, including changes in market and economic conditions, levels of domestic production, impact of governmental regulation and taxation,
the availability of transportation systems and, in the case of oil and gas companies in particular, conservation measures and the impact of weather. Volatility of commodity prices which may lead to a reduction in production or supply, may also
negatively affect the performance of Gold Companies and Natural Resources Companies which are solely involved in the transportation, processing, storing, distribution or marketing of commodities. Volatility of commodity prices may also make it more
difficult for Gold Companies and Natural Resources Companies to raise capital to the extent the market perceives that their performance may be directly or indirectly tied to commodity prices. See &#147;Risk Factors and Special

Transactions.</I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;There are several risks associated with transactions in options on securities. For example, there are significant differences between the securities and options markets that could result in an imperfect
correlation between these markets, causing a given covered call option transaction not to achieve its objectives. A decision as to whether, when and how to use covered call options (or other options) involves the exercise of skill and judgment, and
even a well-conceived transaction may be unsuccessful because of market behavior or unexpected events. The use of options may require the Fund to sell portfolio securities at inopportune times or for prices other than current market values, may
limit the amount of appreciation the Fund can realize on an investment, or may cause the Fund to hold a security it might otherwise sell. As the writer of a covered call option, the Fund forgoes, during the option&#146;s life, the opportunity to
profit from increases in the market value of the security covering the call option above the exercise price of the call option, but has retained the risk of loss should the price of the underlying security decline. Although such loss would be offset

Fund will fall in market value due to adverse market and economic conditions, perceptions regarding the industries in which the issuers of securities held by the Fund participate and the particular circumstances and performance of particular
companies whose securities the Fund holds. An investment in the Fund represents an indirect economic stake in the securities owned by the Fund, which are for the most part traded on securities exchanges or in the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT

could cause prices to be erratic for reasons apart from factors that affect the quality of the securities. For example, limited market size may cause prices to be unduly influenced by traders who control large positions. Adverse publicity and
investors&#146; perceptions, whether or not based on fundamental analysis, may decrease the value and liquidity of portfolio securities, especially in these markets. Other risks include high concentration of market capitalization and trading volume
in a small number of issuers representing a limited number of industries, as well as a high concentration of investors and financial intermediaries; overdependence on exports, including gold and natural resources exports, making these economies
vulnerable to changes in commodity prices; overburdened infrastructure and obsolete or unseasoned financial systems; environmental problems; less developed legal systems; and less reliable securities custodial services and settlement practices.

condition and results of companies&#146; operations in that country. Currency devaluations may also be accompanied by significant declines in the values and liquidity of equity and debt securities of affected governmental and private sector entities
generally. To the extent that affected companies have obligations denominated in currencies other than the devalued currency, those companies may also have difficulty in meeting those obligations under such circumstances, which in turn could have an
adverse effect upon the value of the Fund&#146;s investments in such companies. There can be no assurance that current or future developments with respect to foreign currency devaluations will not impair the Fund&#146;s investment flexibility, its

the threat of inflation. A return to unfavorable economic conditions could impair the Fund&#146;s ability to execute its investment strategies. See &#147;Risk Factors and Special Considerations&#151;Recent Economic Events.&#148; </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I>U.S.&nbsp;Federal Budget.</I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Recent proposed U.S.&nbsp;federal budgets have called for the elimination of as
much as $39 billion in tax incentives widely used by oil, gas and coal companies and the imposition of new fees on certain energy producers. The elimination of such tax incentives and imposition of such fees could adversely affect Natural Resources
Companies in which the Fund invests and/or the natural resources sector generally. See &#147;Risk Factors and Special Considerations&#151;U.S.&nbsp;Federal Budget.&#148; </FONT></P>  <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT
STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I>Government Intervention in Financial Markets Risk.</I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Past instability in the financial markets led the U.S.&nbsp;government and foreign governments to take a number of
unprecedented actions designed to support certain financial institutions and segments of the financial markets that have experienced extreme volatility, and in some cases a lack of liquidity. U.S.&nbsp;federal and state governments and foreign
governments, their regulatory agencies or self regulatory organizations may take additional actions that affect the regulation of the securities in which the Fund invests, or the issuers of such securities, in ways that are unforeseeable. Issuers of
corporate securities might seek protection under the bankruptcy laws. Legislation or regulation may also change the way in which the Fund itself is regulated. Such legislation or regulation could limit or preclude the Fund&#146;s ability to achieve
its investment objectives. The Investment Adviser will monitor developments and seek to manage the Fund&#146;s portfolio in a manner consistent with achieving the Fund&#146;s investment objectives, but there can be no assurance that it will be
successful in doing so. See &#147;Risk Factors and Special Considerations&#151;Government Intervention in Financial Markets Risk.&#148; </FONT></P>  <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT

the affirmative vote of the holders of 75% of the outstanding shares of the Fund are necessary to authorize the conversion of the Fund from a closed-end to an open-end investment company or to authorize certain transactions between the Fund and a
beneficial owner of more than 5% of any class of the Fund&#146;s capital stock. The overall effect of these provisions is to render more difficult the accomplishment of a merger with, or the assumption of control by, a principal shareholder. These
provisions may have the effect of depriving Fund common shareholders of an opportunity to sell their shares at a premium to the prevailing market price. The issuance of preferred shares could make it more difficult for the holders of common shares
to avoid the effect of these provisions. See &#147;Anti-Takeover Provisions of the Fund&#146;s Governing Documents.&#148; </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>Custodian,

provide a high level of current income. The Fund&#146;s secondary investment objective is to seek capital appreciation consistent with the Fund&#146;s strategy and its primary objective. Under normal market conditions, the Fund will attempt to
achieve its objectives by investing at least 80% of its assets in equity securities of companies principally engaged in the gold industry and the natural resources industries. The Fund will invest at least 25% of its assets in the equity securities
of companies principally engaged in the exploration, mining, fabrication, processing, distribution or trading of gold or the financing, managing, controlling or operating of companies engaged in &#147;gold-related&#148; activities. In addition, the
Fund will invest at least 25% of its assets in the equity securities of companies principally engaged in the exploration, production or distribution of natural resources, such as gas, oil, paper, food and agriculture, forestry products, metals and
minerals as well as related transportation companies and equipment manufacturers. The Fund may invest in the securities of companies located anywhere in the world. Under normal market conditions, the Fund will invest at least 40% of its assets in
the securities of issuers located in at least three countries other than the United States. For this purpose an issuer will be treated as located outside the United States if it is either organized or headquartered outside the United States and has
a substantial portion of its operations or sales outside the United States. Equity securities may include common stocks, preferred stocks, convertible securities, warrants, depository receipts and equity interests in trusts and other entities. Other
Fund investments may include investment companies, securities of issuers subject to reorganization or other risk arbitrage investments, certain derivative instruments, debt (including obligations of the United States Government) and money market

Companies for the Fund, the Investment Adviser will focus on stocks that are undervalued, but which appear to have favorable prospects for growth. Factors considered in this determination will include capitalization per ounce of gold production,
capitalization per ounce of recoverable reserves, quality of management and ability to create shareholder wealth. Because most of the world&#146;s gold production is outside of the United States, the Fund may have a significant portion of its
investments in Gold Companies in securities of foreign issuers, including those located in developed as well as emerging markets. The percentage of Fund assets invested in particular countries or regions will change from time to time based on the
Investment Adviser&#146;s judgment. Among other things, the Investment Adviser will consider the economic stability and economic outlook of these countries and regions. See &#147;Risk Factors and Special Considerations&#151;Industry Risks.&#148;

at least 25% of its assets in equity securities of Natural Resources Companies. &#147;Natural Resources Companies&#148; are those that are principally engaged in the exploration, production or distribution of energy or natural resources, such as
gas, oil, paper, food and agriculture, forestry products, metals and minerals as well as related transportation companies and equipment manufacturers. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT

generate gains through an option strategy which will normally consist of writing (selling) call options on equity securities in its portfolio (&#147;covered calls&#148;), but may, in amounts up to 15% of the Fund&#146;s assets, consist of writing
uncovered call options on additional amounts of such securities beyond the amounts held in its portfolio, on other securities not held in its portfolio, on indices comprised of Gold Companies or Natural Resources Companies or on exchange traded
funds comprised of such issuers and also may consist of writing put options on securities in its portfolio. Writing a covered call is the selling of an option contract entitling the buyer to purchase an underlying security that the Fund owns, while
writing an uncovered call is the selling of such a contract entitling the buyer to purchase a security the Fund does not own or in an amount in excess of the amount the Fund owns. When the Fund sells a call option, it generates gains in the form of
the premium paid by the buyer of the call option, but the Fund forgoes the opportunity to participate in any increase in the value of the underlying equity security above the exercise price of the option. The writer of the call option has the
obligation, upon exercise of the option, to deliver the underlying security or currency upon payment of the exercise price during the option period. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT
STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">A put option is the reverse of a call option, giving the buyer the right, in return for a premium, to sell the underlying security to the writer, at a specified price, and obligating the writer to
purchase the underlying security from the holder at that price. When the Fund sells a put option, it generates gains in the form of the premium paid by the buyer of the put option, but the Fund will have the obligation to buy the underlying security
at the exercise price if the price of the security decreases below the exercise price of the option. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">If the Fund has written a
call option, it may terminate its obligation by effecting a closing purchase transaction. This is accomplished by purchasing a call option with the same terms as the option previously written. However, once the Fund has been assigned an exercise
notice, the Fund will be unable to effect a closing purchase transaction. Similarly, if the Fund is the holder of an option, it may liquidate its position by effecting a closing sale transaction. This is accomplished by selling an option with the
same terms as the option previously purchased. There can be no assurance that either a closing purchase or sale transaction can be effected when the Fund so desires. </FONT></P>

less than the premium it received from writing the option or is more than the premium it paid to purchase the option; the Fund will realize a loss from a closing transaction if the price of the transaction is more than the premium it received from
writing the option or is less than the premium it paid to purchase the option. Since call option prices generally reflect increases in the price of the underlying security, any loss resulting from the repurchase of a call option may also be wholly
or partially offset by unrealized appreciation of the underlying security. Other principal factors affecting the market value of a put or a call option include supply and demand, interest rates, the current market price and price volatility of the
underlying security and the time remaining until the expiration date of the option. Gains and losses on investments in options depend, in part, on the ability of the Investment Adviser to predict correctly the effect of these factors. The use of
options cannot serve as a complete hedge since the price movement of securities underlying the options will not necessarily follow the price movements of the portfolio securities subject to the hedge. </FONT></P>

such event, it might not be possible to effect closing transactions in particular options, in which case the Fund would have to exercise its options in order to realize any profit and would incur brokerage commissions upon the exercise of call

availability of market quotations and number of dealers willing to purchase the security. If the Fund invests in Rule&nbsp;144A securities, the level of portfolio illiquidity may be increased to the extent that eligible buyers exhibit weak demand
for such securities. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">It may be more difficult to sell unregistered securities at an attractive price should their resale
remain restricted than if such securities were in the future to become publicly traded. Where registration is desired, a considerable period may elapse between a decision to sell the securities and the time when registration is complete. Thus, the
Fund may not be able to obtain as favorable a price at the time of the decision to sell as it might achieve in the future. The Fund may also acquire securities with contractual restrictions on the resale of such securities. Such restrictions might
prevent their sale at a time when such sale would otherwise be desirable. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I>Income Securities.</I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
Fund may invest in other equity securities that are expected to periodically accrue or generate income for their holders such as common and preferred stocks of issuers that have historically paid periodic dividends or otherwise made distributions to
stockholders. Unlike fixed income securities, dividend payments generally are not guaranteed and so may be discontinued by the issuer at its discretion or because of the issuer&#146;s inability to satisfy its liabilities. Further, an issuer&#146;s
history of paying dividends does not guarantee that it will continue to pay dividends in the future. In addition to dividends, under certain circumstances the holders of common stock may benefit from the capital appreciation of the issuer.
</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In addition, the Fund also may invest in fixed income securities such as convertible securities, bonds, debentures, notes,
stock, short-term discounted Treasury Bills or certain securities of the U.S.&nbsp;government sponsored instrumentalities, as well as money market mutual funds that invest in those securities, which, in the absence of an applicable exemptive order,
will not be affiliated with the Investment Adviser. Fixed income securities obligate the issuer to pay to the holder of the security a specified return, which may be either fixed or reset periodically in accordance with the terms of the security.
Fixed income securities generally are senior to an issuer&#146;s common stock and their holders generally are entitled to receive amounts due before any distributions are made to common stockholders. Common stocks, on the other hand, generally do
not obligate an issuer to make periodic distributions to holders. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Fund may also invest in obligations of government
sponsored instrumentalities. Unlike <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-U.S.&nbsp;government</FONT> securities, obligations of certain agencies and instrumentalities of the United States government, such as the Government National Mortgage
Association, are supported by the &#147;full faith and credit&#148; of the United States government; others, such as those of the Export-Import Bank of the United States, are supported by the right of the issuer to borrow from the United States
Treasury; others, such as those of the Federal National Mortgage Association, are supported by the discretionary authority of the United States government to purchase the agency&#146;s obligations; and still others, such as those of the Student Loan
Marketing Association, are supported only by the credit of the instrumentality. No assurance can be given that the United&nbsp;States government would provide financial support to United States government sponsored instrumentalities if it is not
obligated to do so by law. Although the Fund may invest in all types of obligations of agencies and instrumentalities of the United States government, the Fund currently intends to invest only in obligations of government sponsored instrumentalities
that are supported by the &#147;full faith and credit&#148; of the U.S.&nbsp;government. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I>When Issued, Delayed Delivery

settlement periods for the type of security involved. In some cases, a forward commitment may be conditioned upon the occurrence of a subsequent event, such as approval and consummation of a merger, corporate reorganization or debt restructuring
(i.e., a when, as and if issued security). When such transactions are negotiated, the price is fixed at the time of the commitment, with payment and delivery taking place in the future, generally a month or more after the date of the commitment.
While it will only enter into a forward commitment with the intention of actually acquiring the security, the Fund may sell the security before the settlement date if it is deemed advisable. </FONT></P>

positions in the same or similar securities, including short sales against the box. The short sale of a security is considered a speculative investment technique. At the time of the sale, the Fund will own, or have the immediate and unconditional
right to acquire at no additional cost, identical or similar securities or establish a hedge against a security of the same issuer which may involve additional cost, such as an &#147;in the money&#148; warrant. </FONT></P>

of income by the Fund. Other than with respect to short sales against the box, the Fund will limit short sales of securities to not more than 5% of the Fund&#146;s assets. When the Fund makes a short sale, it must deliver the security to the
broker-dealer through which it made the short sale in order to satisfy its obligation to deliver the security upon conclusion of the sale. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT
STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I>Repurchase Agreements.</I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Repurchase agreements may be seen as loans by the Fund collateralized by underlying debt securities. Under the terms of a typical repurchase agreement,
the Fund would acquire an underlying debt obligation for a relatively short period (usually not more than one week) subject to an obligation of the seller to repurchase, and the Fund to resell, the obligation at an agreed price and time. This
arrangement results in a fixed rate of return to the Fund that is not subject to market fluctuations during the holding period. The Fund bears a risk of loss in the event that the other party to a repurchase agreement defaults on its obligations and
the Fund is delayed in or prevented from exercising its rights to dispose of the collateral securities, including the risk of a possible decline in the value of the underlying securities during the period in which it seeks to assert these rights.
The Investment Adviser, acting under the supervision of the Board of Trustees, reviews the creditworthiness of those banks and dealers with which the Fund enters into repurchase agreements to evaluate these risks and monitors on an ongoing basis the
value of the securities subject to repurchase agreements to ensure that the value is maintained at the required level. The Fund will not enter into repurchase agreements with the Investment Adviser or any of its affiliates. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I>Convertible Securities.</I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A convertible security is a bond, debenture, note, stock or other similar security
that may be converted into or exchanged for a prescribed amount of common stock or other equity security of the same or a different issuer within a particular period of time at a specified price or formula. Before conversion, convertible securities
have characteristics similar to non-convertible debt securities in that they ordinarily provide a stream of income with generally higher yields than those of common stock of the same or similar issuers. Convertible securities are senior in rank to
common stock in a corporation&#146;s capital structure and, therefore, generally entail less risk than the corporation&#146;s common stock, although the extent to which such risk is reduced depends in large measure upon the degree to which the
convertible security sells above its value as a fixed income security. See &#147;Risk Factors and Special Considerations&#151;Convertible Securities Risk.&#148; </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT
STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I>Non-Investment Grade Securities.</I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Fund may invest up to 10% of its net assets in fixed income and convertible securities rated in the lower rating categories of recognized
statistical rating agencies, such as securities rated &#147;CCC&#148; or lower by Standard&nbsp;&amp; Poor&#146;s Ratings Services (&#147;S&amp;P&#148;) or &#147;Caa&#148; by Moody&#146;s Investors Service, Inc. (&#147;Moody&#146;s&#148;), or
non-rated securities of comparable quality as determined by the Investment Adviser. These securities are predominantly speculative with respect to the issuer&#146;s capacity to pay interest and repay principal, and involve major risk exposure to
adverse conditions. Debt securities that are not rated or rated lower than &#147;BBB&#148; by S&amp;P or lower than &#147;Baa&#148; by Moody&#146;s (or unrated securities of comparable quality) are referred to in the financial press as &#147;junk

than is offered by higher rated securities, but also (i)&nbsp;will likely have some quality and protective characteristics that, in the judgment of the rating organizations, are outweighed by large uncertainties or major risk exposures to adverse
conditions and (ii)&nbsp;are predominantly speculative with respect to the issuer&#146;s capacity to pay interest and repay principal in accordance with the terms of the obligation. The market values of certain of these securities also tend to be
more sensitive to individual corporate developments and changes in economic conditions than higher quality bonds. In addition, such lower grade securities and comparable unrated securities generally present a higher degree of credit risk. The risk

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">
greater because such lower grade securities and unrated securities of comparable quality generally are unsecured and frequently are subordinated to the prior payment of senior indebtedness. In
light of these risks, the Investment Adviser, in evaluating the creditworthiness of an issue, whether rated or unrated, will take various factors into consideration, which may include, as applicable, the issuer&#146;s operating history, financial
resources and its sensitivity to economic conditions and trends, the market support for the facility financed by the issue, the perceived ability and integrity of the issuer&#146;s management and regulatory matters. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In addition, the market value of securities in lower grade categories is more volatile than that of higher quality securities, and the
markets in which such lower grade or unrated securities are traded are more limited than those in which higher rated securities are traded. The existence of limited markets may make it more difficult for the Fund to obtain accurate market quotations
for purposes of valuing its portfolio and calculating its net asset value. Moreover, the lack of a liquid trading market may restrict the availability of securities for the Fund to purchase and may also have the effect of limiting the ability of the
Fund to sell securities at their fair value to respond to changes in the economy or the financial markets. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Lower-rated debt
obligations also present risks based on payment expectations. If an issuer calls the obligation for redemption (often a feature of fixed income securities), the Fund may have to replace the security with a lower yielding security, resulting in a
decreased return for investors. Also, as the principal value of bonds moves inversely with movements in interest rates, in the event of rising interest rates the value of the securities held by the Fund may decline proportionately more than a
portfolio consisting of higher rated securities. Investments in zero coupon bonds may be more speculative and subject to greater fluctuations in value due to changes in interest rates than bonds that pay interest currently. Interest rates are at
historical lows and, therefore, it is likely that they will rise in the future. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">As part of its investments in lower grade
securities, the Fund may invest without limit in securities of issuers in default. The Fund will make an investment in securities of issuers in default only when the Investment Adviser believes that such issuers will honor their obligations or
emerge from bankruptcy protection and the value of these securities will appreciate. By investing in securities of issuers in default, the Fund bears the risk that these issuers will not continue to honor their obligations or emerge from bankruptcy
protection or that the value of the securities will not appreciate. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In addition to using recognized statistical rating
agencies and other sources, the Investment Adviser also performs its own analysis of issues in seeking investments that it believes to be underrated (and thus higher-yielding) in light of the financial condition of the issuer. Its analysis of
issuers may include, among other things, current and anticipated cash flow and borrowing requirements, value of assets in relation to historical cost, strength of management, responsiveness to business conditions, credit standing and current
anticipated results of operations. In selecting investments for the Fund, the Investment Adviser may also consider general business conditions, anticipated changes in interest rates and the outlook for specific industries. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Subsequent to its purchase by the Fund, an issue of securities may cease to be rated or its rating may be reduced. In addition, it is
possible that statistical rating agencies might change their ratings of a particular issue to reflect subsequent events on a timely basis. Moreover, such ratings do not assess the risk of a decline in market value. None of these events will require
the sale of the securities by the Fund, although the Investment Adviser will consider these events in determining whether the Fund should continue to hold the securities. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT
STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Fixed income securities, including lower grade securities and comparable unrated securities, frequently have call or buy-back features that permit their issuers to call or repurchase the securities from
their holders, such as the Fund. If an issuer exercises these rights during periods of declining interest rates, the Fund may have to replace the security with a lower yielding security, thus resulting in a decreased return for the Fund. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The market for lower grade and comparable unrated securities has at various times, particularly during times of economic recession,
experienced substantial reductions in market value and liquidity. Past recessions have adversely affected the ability of certain issuers of such securities to repay principal and pay interest thereon. The market for those securities could react in a
similar fashion in the event of any future economic recession. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I>Other Derivative Instruments.</I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The

<P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I>Leveraging.</I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As provided in the 1940 Act and subject to certain exceptions, the Fund may issue senior

of the amount of preferred shares and debt outstanding. The use of leverage magnifies the impact of changes in net asset value. For example, a fund that uses 33% leverage will show a 1.5% increase or decline in net asset value for each 1% increase
or decline in the value of its total assets. In addition, if the cost of leverage exceeds the return on the securities acquired with the proceeds of leverage, the use of leverage will diminish rather than enhance the return to the Fund. The use of
leverage generally increases the volatility of returns to the Fund. See &#147;Risk Factors and Special Considerations&#151;Leverage Risk.&#148; </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT

Investments.</I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Although under normal market conditions the Fund intends to invest at least 80% of its assets in equity securities of companies principally engaged in the gold industry and the natural resources industries,
when a temporary defensive posture is believed by the Investment Adviser to be warranted (&#147;temporary defensive periods&#148;), the Fund may without limitation hold cash or invest its assets in money market instruments and repurchase agreements
in respect of those instruments. The money market instruments in which the Fund may invest are obligations of the U.S.&nbsp;government, its agencies or instrumentalities; commercial paper rated <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">A-1</FONT> or higher
by S&amp;P or Prime-1 by Moody&#146;s; and certificates of deposit and bankers&#146; acceptances issued by domestic branches of U.S.&nbsp;banks that are members of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. During temporary defensive periods, the
Fund may also invest to the extent permitted by applicable law in shares of money market mutual funds. Money market mutual funds are investment companies and the investments in those companies by the Fund are in some cases subject to applicable law.
See &#147;Investment Restrictions&#148; in the SAI. The Fund may find it more difficult to achieve the long-term growth of capital component of its investment objectives during temporary defensive periods. </FONT></P>

investment policies of the Fund, including its strategy of writing covered call options on securities in its portfolio, are expected to result in portfolio turnover that is higher than that of many investment companies, and may be higher than 100%.
For the years ending December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the portfolio turnover rates were 87.4% and 83.7%, respectively. </FONT></P>  <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT
STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Portfolio turnover generally involves expense to the Fund, including brokerage commissions or dealer <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">mark-ups</FONT> and other transaction costs on the sale of securities
and reinvestment in other securities. The portfolio turnover rate is computed by dividing the lesser of the amount of the securities purchased or securities sold by the average monthly value of securities owned during the year (excluding securities
whose maturities at acquisition were one year or less). Higher portfolio turnover may decrease the after-tax return to individual investors in the Fund to the extent it results in a decrease in the portion of the Fund&#146;s distributions that is
attributable to long-term capital gain. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>Interest Rate Transactions </B></FONT></P>

Fund may, for example, obtain the equivalent of a fixed rate for such variable rate preferred shares that is lower than the Fund would have to pay if it issued fixed rate preferred shares.
</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The use of interest rate swaps and caps is a highly specialized activity that involves investment techniques and risks
different from those associated with ordinary portfolio security transactions. In an interest rate swap, the Fund would agree to pay to the other party to the interest rate swap (which is known as the &#147;counterparty&#148;) periodically a fixed
rate payment in exchange for the counterparty agreeing to pay to the fund periodically a variable rate payment that is intended to approximate the Fund&#146;s variable rate payment obligation on its borrowings or variable rate preferred shares. In
an interest rate cap, the Fund would pay a premium to the counterparty to the interest rate cap and, to the extent that a specified variable rate index exceeds a predetermined fixed rate, would receive from the counterparty payments of the
difference based on the notional amount of such cap. Interest rate swap and cap transactions introduce additional risk because the Fund would remain obligated to pay interest or preferred shares dividends when due even if the counterparty defaulted.
Depending on the general state of short-term interest rates and the returns on the Fund&#146;s portfolio securities at that point in time, such a default could negatively affect the Fund&#146;s ability to make interest payments or dividend payments
on the preferred shares. In addition, at the time an interest rate swap or cap transaction reaches its scheduled termination date, there is a risk that the Fund will not be able to obtain a replacement transaction or that the terms of the
replacement will not be as favorable as on the expiring transaction. If this occurs, it could have a negative impact on the Fund&#146;s ability to make interest payments or dividend payments on the preferred shares. To the extent there is a decline
in interest rates, the value of the interest rate swap or cap could decline, resulting in a decline in the asset coverage for the borrowings or preferred shares. A sudden and dramatic decline in interest rates may result in a significant decline in
the asset coverage. If the Fund fails to maintain the required asset coverage on any outstanding preferred shares or fails to comply with other covenants, the Fund may be required to redeem some or all of these shares. Any redemption would likely
result in the Fund seeking to terminate early all or a portion of any swap or cap transactions. Early termination of a swap could result in a termination payment by the Fund to the counterparty, while early termination of a cap could result in a
termination payment to the Fund. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Fund will usually enter into swaps or caps on a net basis; that is, the two payment
streams will be netted out in a cash settlement on the payment date or dates specified in the instrument, with the Fund receiving or paying, as the case may be, only the net amount of the two payments. The Fund intends to segregate cash or liquid
securities having a value at least equal to the value of the Fund&#146;s net payment obligations under any swap transaction, marked to market daily. The Fund will monitor any such swap with a view to ensuring that the Fund remains in compliance with
all applicable regulatory, investment policy and tax requirements. </FONT></P>

Fund utilizes several investment management techniques in an effort to generate positive total return. The risks of these techniques, such as option writing, leverage, concentration in certain industries, and investing in emerging markets, are
described in the following paragraphs. Taken together these and other techniques represent a risk that the Fund will experience a negative total return even in market environments that are generally positive and that the Fund&#146;s returns, both
positive and negative, may be more volatile than if the Fund did not utilize these investment techniques. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>Industry Risks </B></FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I>Industry Risks.</I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Fund&#146;s investments will be concentrated in the gold and natural resources
industries. Because the Fund is concentrated in these industries, it may present more risks than if it were broadly diversified over numerous industries and sectors of the economy. A downturn in the gold or natural resources industries would have a
larger impact on the Fund than on an investment company that does not concentrate in such industries. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Under normal market
conditions the Fund will invest at least 25% of its assets in equity securities of Gold Companies. Equity securities of Gold Companies may experience greater volatility than companies not involved in the gold industry. Investments related to gold
are considered speculative and are affected by a variety of worldwide economic, financial and political factors. The price of gold, which has experienced substantial increases in recent periods, may fluctuate sharply, including substantial
decreases, over short periods of time due to changes in inflation or expectations regarding inflation in various countries, the availability of supplies of gold, changes in industrial and commercial demand, gold sales by governments, central banks
or international agencies, investment speculation, monetary and other economic policies of various governments and government restrictions on private ownership of gold. In times of significant inflation or great economic uncertainty, Gold Companies
have historically outperformed securities markets generally. However, in times of stable economic growth, traditional equity and debt investments could offer greater appreciation potential and the value of gold and the prices of equity securities of
Gold Companies may be adversely affected, which could in turn affect the Fund&#146;s returns. Some Gold Companies hedge, to varying degrees, their exposure to declines in the price of gold. Such hedging limits a Gold Company&#146;s ability to
benefit from future rises in the price of gold. The Investment Adviser&#146;s judgments about trends in the prices of securities of Gold Companies may prove to be incorrect. It is possible that the performance of securities of Gold Companies may lag
the performance of other industries or the broader market as a whole. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Under normal market conditions the Fund will invest at
least 25% of its assets in equity securities of Natural Resources Companies. A downturn in the indicated natural resources industries would have a larger impact on the Fund than on an investment company that does not invest significantly in such
industries. Such industries can be significantly affected by the supply of and demand for the indicated commodities and related services, exploration and production spending, government regulations, world events and economic conditions. The oil,
gas, paper, food and agriculture, forestry products, metals and minerals industries can be significantly affected by events relating to international political developments, the success of exploration projects, commodity prices, and tax and
government regulations. The stock prices of Natural Resources Companies, some of which have experienced substantial price increases in recent periods, may also experience greater price volatility than other types of common stocks. Securities issued
by Natural Resources Companies are sensitive to changes in the prices of, and in supply and demand for, the indicated commodities. The value of securities issued by Natural Resources Companies may be affected by changes in overall market movements,
changes in interest rates, or factors affecting a particular industry or commodity, such as weather, embargoes, tariffs, policies of commodity cartels and international economic, political and regulatory developments. The Investment Adviser&#146;s
judgments about trends in the prices of these securities and commodities may prove to be incorrect. It is possible that the performance of securities of Natural Resources Companies may lag the performance of other industries or the broader market as
a whole. </FONT></P>

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I>Supply and Demand Risk.</I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A decrease in the production of or
exploitation of, gold, gas, oil, paper, food and agriculture, forestry products, metals or minerals or a decrease in the volume of such commodities available for transportation, mining, processing, storage or distribution may adversely impact the
financial performance of the Fund&#146;s investments. Production declines and volume decreases could be caused by various factors, including catastrophic events affecting production, depletion of resources, labor difficulties, environmental
proceedings, increased regulations, equipment failures and unexpected maintenance problems, import supply disruption, increased competition from alternative energy sources or commodity prices. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Sustained declines in demand for the indicated commodities could also adversely affect the financial performance of Gold Companies and
Natural Resources Companies over the long-term. Factors which could lead to a decline in demand include economic recession or other adverse economic conditions, higher fuel taxes or governmental regulations, increases in fuel economy, consumer
shifts to the use of alternative fuel sources, changes in commodity prices, or weather. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I>Depletion and Exploration
Risk.</I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Many Gold Companies and Natural Resources Companies are either engaged in the production or exploitation of the particular commodities or are engaged in transporting, storing, distributing and processing such
commodities. To maintain or increase their revenue level, these companies or their customers need to maintain or expand their reserves through exploration of new sources of supply, through the development of existing sources, acquisitions, or
long-term contracts to acquire reserves. The financial performance of Gold Companies and Natural Resources Companies may be adversely affected if they, or the companies to whom they provide products or services, are unable to cost-effectively
acquire additional products or reserves sufficient to replace the natural decline. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I>Regulatory
Risk.</I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Gold Companies and Natural Resources Companies may be subject to extensive government regulation in virtually every aspect of their operations, including how facilities are constructed, maintained and operated,
environmental and safety controls, and in some cases the prices they may charge for the products and services they provide. Various governmental authorities have the power to enforce compliance with these regulations and the permits issued under
them, and violators are subject to administrative, civil and criminal penalties, including civil fines, injunctions or both. Stricter laws, regulations or enforcement policies could be enacted in the future, which would likely increase compliance
costs and may adversely affect the financial performance of Gold Companies and Natural Resources Companies. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I>Commodity
Pricing Risk.</I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The operations and financial performance of Gold Companies and Natural Resources Companies may be directly affected by the prices of the indicated commodities, especially those Gold Companies and Natural
Resources Companies for whom the commodities they own are significant assets. Commodity prices fluctuate for several reasons, including changes in market and economic conditions, levels of domestic production, impact of governmental regulation and
taxation, the availability of transportation systems and, in the case of oil and gas companies in particular, conservation measures and the impact of weather. Volatility of commodity prices, which may lead to a reduction in production or supply, may
also negatively affect the performance of Gold Companies and Natural Resources Companies which are solely involved in the transportation, processing, storing, distribution or marketing of commodities. Volatility of commodity prices may also make it
more difficult for Gold Companies and Natural Resources Companies to raise capital to the extent the market perceives that their performance may be directly or indirectly tied to commodity prices. </FONT></P>

STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">There are several risks associated with transactions in options on securities. For example, there are significant differences between the securities and options markets that could result in an imperfect
correlation between these markets, causing a given covered call option transaction not to achieve its objectives. A decision as to whether, when and how to use covered calls (or other options) involves the exercise of skill and judgment, and even a
well-conceived transaction may be unsuccessful because of market behavior or unexpected events. The use of options may require the Fund to sell portfolio securities at inopportune times or for prices other than current market values, may limit the
amount of appreciation the Fund can realize on an investment, or may cause the Fund to hold a security it might otherwise sell. As the writer of a covered call option, the Fund forgoes, during the option&#146;s life, the opportunity to profit from
increases in the market value of the security covering the call option above the exercise price of the call option, but has retained the risk of loss should the price of the underlying security decline. Although

such loss would be offset in part by the option premium received, in a situation in which the price of a particular stock on which the Fund has written a covered call option declines rapidly and
materially or in which prices in general on all or a substantial portion of the stocks on which the Fund has written covered call options decline rapidly and materially, the Fund could sustain material depreciation or loss in its net assets to the
extent it does not sell the underlying securities (which may require it to terminate, offset or otherwise cover its option position as well). The writer of an option has no control over the time when it may be required to fulfill its obligation as a
writer of the option. Once an option writer has received an exercise notice, it cannot effect a closing purchase transaction in order to terminate its obligation under the option and must deliver the underlying security at the exercise price.
</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">There can be no assurance that a liquid market will exist when the Fund seeks to close out an option position. Reasons for the
absence of a liquid secondary market for exchange-traded options include the following: (i)&nbsp;there may be insufficient trading interest; (ii)&nbsp;restrictions may be imposed by an exchange on opening transactions or closing transactions or
both; (iii)&nbsp;trading halts, suspensions or other restrictions may be imposed with respect to particular classes or series of options; (iv)&nbsp;unusual or unforeseen circumstances may interrupt normal operations on an exchange; (v)&nbsp;the
trading facilities of an exchange or the Options Clearing Corporation (the &#147;OCC&#148;) may not be adequate to handle current trading volume; or (vi)&nbsp;the relevant exchange could, for economic or other reasons, decide or be compelled at some
future date to discontinue the trading of options (or a particular class or series of options). If trading were discontinued, the secondary market on that exchange (or in that class or series of options) would cease to exist. However, outstanding
options on that exchange that had been issued by the OCC as a result of trades on that exchange would continue to be exercisable in accordance with their terms. The Fund&#146;s ability to terminate <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap">over-the-counter</FONT></FONT> options may be more limited than with exchange-traded options and may involve the risk that counterparties participating in such transactions will not fulfill their obligations. If the Fund
were unable to close out a covered call option that it had written on a security, it would not be able to sell the underlying security unless the option expired without exercise. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The hours of trading for options may not conform to the hours during which the underlying securities are traded. To the extent that the
options markets close before the markets for the underlying securities, significant price and rate movements can take place in the underlying markets that cannot be reflected in the options markets. Call options are marked to market daily and their
value will be affected by changes in the value of and dividend rates of the underlying common stocks, an increase in interest rates, changes in the actual or perceived volatility of the stock market and the underlying common stocks and the remaining
time to the options&#146; expiration. Additionally, the exercise price of an option may be adjusted downward before the option&#146;s expiration as a result of the occurrence of certain corporate events affecting the underlying equity security, such
as extraordinary dividends, stock splits, merger or other extraordinary distributions or events. A reduction in the exercise price of an option would reduce the Fund&#146;s capital appreciation potential on the underlying security. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I>Limitation on Covered Call Writing Risk.</I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The number of covered call options the Fund can write is limited by
the number of shares of common stock the Fund holds. Furthermore, the Fund&#146;s covered call options and other options transactions will be subject to limitations established by each of the exchanges, boards of trade or other trading facilities on
which such options are traded. These limitations govern the maximum number of options in each class which may be written or purchased by a single investor or group of investors acting in concert, regardless of whether the options are written or
purchased on the same or different exchanges, boards of trade or other trading facilities or are held or written in one or more accounts or through one or more brokers. As a result, the number of covered call options that the Fund may write or
purchase may be affected by options written or purchased by it and other investment advisory clients of the Investment Adviser. An exchange, board of trade or other trading facility may order the liquidation of positions found to be in excess of
these limits, and it may impose certain other sanctions. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>Risks Associated with Uncovered Calls </B></FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">There are special risks associated with uncovered option writing which expose the Fund to potentially significant loss. As the writer of
an uncovered call option, the Fund has no risk of loss should the price of the underlying security decline, but bears unlimited risk of loss should the price of the underlying security increase above the exercise price until the Fund covers its
exposure. As with writing uncovered calls, the risk of writing uncovered put options is substantial. The writer of an uncovered put option bears a risk of loss if the value of the underlying instrument declines below the exercise price. Such loss
could be substantial if there is a significant decline in the value of the underlying instrument. </FONT></P>

in the Fund involves equity risk, which is the risk that the securities held by the Fund will fall in market value due to adverse market and economic conditions, perceptions regarding the industries in which the issuers of securities held by the
Fund participate and the particular circumstances and performance of particular companies whose securities the Fund holds. An investment in the Fund represents an indirect economic stake in the securities owned by the Fund, which are for the most
part traded on securities exchanges or in the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">over-the-counter</FONT></FONT> markets. The market value of these securities, like other market investments, may move up or down,
sometimes rapidly and unpredictably. The net asset value of the Fund may at any point in time be worth less than the amount at the time the shareholder invested in the Fund, even after taking into account any reinvestment of distribution.
</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>Leverage Risk </B></FONT></P>  <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT
STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Fund currently uses financial leverage for investment purposes by issuing preferred shares. As of December 31, 2014, the amount of leverage represented approximately 10% of the Fund&#146;s net assets.
The Fund&#146;s leveraged capital structure creates special risks not associated with unleveraged funds that have a similar investment objective and policies. These include the possibility of greater loss and the likelihood of higher volatility of
the net asset value of the Fund and the asset coverage for the preferred shares. Such volatility may increase the likelihood of the Fund having to sell investments in order to meet its obligations to make distributions on the preferred shares or
principal or interest payments on debt securities, or to redeem preferred shares or repay debt, when it may be disadvantageous to do so. The use of leverage magnifies both the favorable and unfavorable effects of price movements in the investments
made by the Fund. To the extent the Fund is leveraged in its investment operations, the Fund will be subject to substantial risk of loss. The Fund cannot assure that borrowings or the issuance of preferred shares will result in a higher yield or
return to the holders of the common shares. Also, if the Fund is utilizing leverage, a decline in net asset value could affect the ability of the Fund to make common share distributions and such a failure to make distributions could result in the
Fund ceasing to qualify as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the &#147;Code&#148;). See &#147;Taxation.&#148; </FONT></P>  <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT
STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Any decline in the net asset value of the Fund&#146;s investments would be borne entirely by the holders of common shares. Therefore, if the market value of the Fund&#146;s portfolio declines, the
leverage will result in a greater decrease in net asset value to the holders of common shares than if the Fund were not leveraged. This greater net asset value decrease will also tend to cause a greater decline in the market price for the common
shares. In such a case, the Fund might be in danger of failing to maintain the required asset coverage of its borrowings or preferred shares or of losing its ratings on its borrowings or preferred shares or, in an extreme case, the Fund&#146;s
current investment income might not be sufficient to meet the interest or dividend requirements on its borrowings or preferred shares. In order to counteract such an event, the Fund might need to liquidate investments in order to fund a redemption
of some or all of the preferred shares. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="font-size:6px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px">&nbsp;</P>

about a foreign company than a U.S.&nbsp;company. Foreign Securities markets may have substantially less volume than U.S.&nbsp;securities markets and some foreign company securities are less liquid than securities of otherwise comparable
U.S.&nbsp;companies. A portfolio of Foreign Securities may also be adversely affected by fluctuations in the rates of exchange between the currencies of different nations and by exchange control regulations. Foreign markets also have different
clearance and settlement procedures that could cause the Fund to encounter difficulties in purchasing and selling securities on such markets and may result in the Fund missing attractive investment opportunities or experiencing loss. In addition, a
portfolio that includes Foreign Securities can expect to have a higher expense ratio because of the increased transaction costs on <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-U.S.&nbsp;securities</FONT> markets and the increased costs of maintaining the
custody of Foreign Securities. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Investments in Foreign Securities will expose the Fund to the direct or indirect consequences
of political, social or economic changes in the countries that issue the securities or in which the issuers are located. Certain countries in which the Fund may invest have historically experienced, and may continue to experience, high rates of
inflation, high interest rates, exchange rate fluctuations, large amounts of external debt, balance of payments and trade difficulties and extreme poverty and unemployment. Many of these countries are also characterized by political uncertainty and
instability. The cost of servicing external debt will generally be adversely affected by rising international interest rates because many external debt obligations bear interest at rates which are adjusted based upon international interest rates.

issued by U.S.&nbsp;banks or trust companies in respect of securities of foreign issuers held on deposit for use in the U.S.&nbsp;securities markets. While ADRs may not necessarily be denominated in the same currency as the securities into which
they may be converted, many of the risks associated with Foreign Securities may also apply to ADRs. In addition, the underlying issuers of certain depositary receipts, particularly unsponsored or unregistered depositary receipts, are under no
obligation to distribute shareholder communications to the holders of such receipts, or to pass through to them any voting rights with respect to the deposited securities. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT

issuers whose primary operations or principal trading market are located in an &#147;emerging market.&#148; An &#147;emerging market&#148; country is any country that is considered to be an emerging or developing country by the World Bank. Investing
in securities of companies in emerging markets may entail special risks relating to potential political and economic instability and the risks of expropriation, nationalization, confiscation or the imposition of restrictions on foreign investment,
the lack of hedging instruments and restrictions on repatriation of capital invested. Emerging securities markets are substantially smaller, less developed, less liquid and more volatile than the major securities markets. The limited size of
emerging securities markets and limited trading value compared to the volume of trading in U.S.&nbsp;securities could cause prices to be erratic for reasons apart from factors that affect the quality of the securities. For example, limited market
size may cause prices to be unduly influenced by traders who control large positions. Adverse publicity and investors&#146; perceptions, whether or not based on fundamental analysis, may decrease the value and liquidity of portfolio securities,
especially in these markets. Other risks include high concentration of market capitalization and trading volume in a small number of issuers representing a limited number of industries, as well as a high concentration of investors and financial
intermediaries; over-dependence on exports, including gold and natural resources exports, making these economies vulnerable to changes in commodity prices; overburdened infrastructure and obsolete or unseasoned financial systems; environmental
problems; less developed legal systems; and less reliable securities custodial services and settlement practices. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>Foreign Currency Risk

and results of companies&#146; operations in that country. Currency devaluations may also be accompanied by significant declines in the values and liquidity of equity and debt securities of affected governmental and private sector entities
generally. To the extent that affected companies have obligations denominated in currencies other than the devalued currency, those companies may also have difficulty in meeting those obligations under such circumstances, which in turn could have an
adverse effect upon the value of the Fund&#146;s investments in such companies. There can be no assurance that current or future developments with respect to foreign currency devaluations will not impair the Fund&#146;s investment flexibility, its

control of the Fund, we cannot predict whether the common shares will trade at, below or above net asset value or at, below or above the public offering price. Common shares of closed-end funds often trade at a discount to their net asset values and
the Fund&#146;s common shares may trade at such a discount. This risk may be greater for investors expecting to sell their common shares of the Fund soon after completion of the public offering. The common shares of the Fund are designed primarily
for long-term investors, and investors in the shares should not view the Fund as a vehicle for trading purposes. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>Common Stock Risk

issuer fails to make anticipated dividend payments because, among other reasons, the issuer of the security experiences a decline in its financial condition. Common stock in which the Fund will invest is structurally subordinated as to income and
residual value to preferred stock, bonds and other debt instruments in a company&#146;s capital structure, in terms of priority to corporate income, and therefore will be subject to greater dividend risk than preferred stock or debt instruments of
such issuers. In addition, while common stock has historically generated higher average returns than fixed income securities, common stock has also experienced significantly more volatility in those returns. </FONT></P>

the future. The dividend income stream associated with equity income securities generally is not guaranteed and will be subordinate to payment obligations of the issuer on its debt and other liabilities. Accordingly, an issuer may forgo paying
dividends on its equity securities. In addition, because in most instances issuers are not obligated to make periodic distributions to the holders of their equity securities, such distributions or dividends generally may be discontinued at the

repricing of credit risk in the broadly syndicated market, among other things. These events, along with the downgrade to the United States credit rating by credit agencies, deterioration of the housing market, the failure of major financial
institutions and the resulting United&nbsp;States government actions led, in the recent past, and may lead in the future, to worsening general economic conditions, which did, and could, materially and adversely impact the broader financial and
credit markets and reduce the availability of debt and equity capital for the market as a whole and financial firms in particular. These events adversely affected (and could adversely affect in the future) the willingness of some lenders to extend
credit in general, which may have made it (and could make it in the future) more difficult for issuers of debt securities to obtain financings or refinancings for their investment or lending activities or operations. There is a risk that such
issuers will be unable to successfully complete such financings or refinancings. In particular, because of the current conditions in the credit markets, issuers of debt securities may be subject to increased cost for debt, tightening underwriting
standards and reduced liquidity for loans they make, securities they purchase and securities they issue. These events may increase the volatility of the value of securities owned by the Fund and/or result in sudden and significant valuation
increases or decreases in its portfolio. These events also may make it more difficult for the Fund to accurately value its securities or to sell its securities on a timely basis. In addition, illiquidity and volatility in the credit markets may
directly and adversely affect the setting of distribution rates on the common shares. These events have adversely affected the broader economy, and may continue to do so, which may adversely affect the ability of issuers of securities owned by the
Fund to make payments of principal and interest when due, lead to lower credit ratings and increase defaults. There is also a risk that developments in sectors of the credit markets in which the Fund does not invest may adversely affect the
liquidity and the value of securities in sectors of the credit markets in which the Fund does invest, including securities owned by Fund. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT
STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">While the extreme volatility and disruption that U.S. and global markets experienced for an extended period of time beginning in 2007 and 2008 has generally subsided, uncertainty and periods of volatility
remain, and risks to a robust resumption of growth persist. In 2010, several European Union (&#147;EU&#148;) countries, including Greece, Ireland, Italy, Spain, and Portugal, began to face budget issues, some of which may have negative long-term
effects for the economies of those countries and other EU countries. While the financial stability of such countries has improved significantly, risks resulting from any future debt crisis in Europe or any similar crisis could have a detrimental
impact on the global economic recovery, sovereign and non-sovereign debt in these countries and the financial condition of European financial institutions. Market and economic disruptions have affected, and may in the future affect, consumer
confidence levels and spending, personal bankruptcy rates, levels of incurrence and default on consumer debt and home prices, among other factors. We cannot assure you that market disruptions in Europe, including the increased cost of funding for
certain governments and financial institutions, will not impact the global economy, and we cannot assure you that assistance packages will be available, or if available, be sufficient to stabilize countries and markets in Europe or elsewhere
affected by a financial crisis. To the extent uncertainty regarding any economic recovery in Europe negatively impacts consumer confidence and consumer credit factors, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be
significantly and adversely affected. Recent downgrades to the credit ratings of major banks could result in increased borrowing costs for such banks and negatively affect the broader economy. Moreover, Federal Reserve policy, including with respect
to certain interest rates and the decision to end its quantitative easing policy, may adversely affect the value, volatility and liquidity of dividend and interest paying securities. Market volatility, rising interest rates and/or a return to
unfavorable economic conditions could impair the Fund&#146;s ability to achieve its investment objectives. </FONT></P>  <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">General market
uncertainty and consequent repricing of risk have led to market imbalances of sellers and buyers, which in turn have resulted in significant valuation uncertainties in a variety of debt securities, and significant and rapid value decline in certain
instances. Additionally, periods of market volatility remain, and may continue to occur in the future, in response to various political, social and economic events both within and outside of the United States. These conditions resulted in, and in
many cases continue to result in, greater price volatility, less liquidity, widening credit spreads and a lack of price transparency, with many securities remaining illiquid and of uncertain value. Such market conditions may make valuation of some
of the Fund&#146;s securities </FONT></P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Past instability in the financial markets discussed above led the U.S. government and certain foreign governments to take a number of
unprecedented actions designed to support certain financial institutions and segments of the financial markets that have experienced extreme volatility, and in some cases a lack of liquidity, including through direct purchases of equity and debt
securities. Federal, state, and other governments, their regulatory agencies or self-regulatory organizations may take actions that affect the regulation of the issuers in which the Fund invests, or the issuers of such securities, in ways that are
unforeseeable. Legislation or regulation may also change the way in which the Fund is regulated. Such legislation or regulation could limit or preclude the Fund&#146;s ability to achieve its investment objectives. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Congress enacted sweeping financial legislation, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (the
&#147;Dodd-Frank Act&#148;), signed into law by President Obama on July 21, 2010, regarding the operation of banks, private fund managers and other financial institutions, includes provisions regarding the regulation of derivatives. Many provisions
of the Dodd-Frank Act have been or will be implemented through regulatory rulemakings and similar processes over a period of time. The impact of the Dodd-Frank Act, and of follow-on regulation, on trading strategies and operations is impossible to
predict, and may be adverse. Practices&nbsp;and areas of operation subject to significant change based on the impact, direct or indirect, of the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">Dodd-Frank&nbsp;Act</FONT> and follow-on regulation, may change in
manners that are unforeseeable, with uncertain effects. By way of example and not limitation, direct and indirect changes from the Dodd-Frank Act and follow-on regulation may occur to a significant degree with regard to, among other areas, financial
consumer protection, bank ownership of and involvement with private funds, proprietary trading, registration of investment advisers, and the trading and use of many derivative instruments, including swaps. OTC derivatives dealers have also become,
or soon will become, subject to new business conduct standards, disclosure requirements, reporting and recordkeeping requirements, transparency requirements, position limits, limitations on conflicts of interest, initial and variation margin
requirements and other regulatory burdens. These new margin and regulatory requirements will increase the overall costs for OTC derivatives dealers and may also render certain strategies in which the Fund might otherwise engage impossible or so
costly that they will no longer be economical to implement. Dealers can be expected to try to pass those increased costs along, at least partially, to market participants such as the Fund in the form of higher fees or less advantageous dealer marks.
The overall impact of the Dodd-Frank Act on the Fund is highly uncertain and it is unclear how the over-the-counter derivatives markets will adapt to this new regulatory regime. In addition, Congress may address tax policy, which also could have
uncertain direct and indirect impact on trading and operations, as well as, potentially, the operations and structure of the Fund. </FONT></P>  <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT
STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Further, the Dodd-Frank Act created the Financial Stability Oversight Council (&#147;FSOC&#148;), an interagency body charged with identifying and monitoring systemic risks to financial markets. The FSOC
has the authority to require that non-bank financial companies that are &#147;predominantly engaged in financial activities,&#148; such as the Fund and the Investment Adviser, whose failure it determines would pose systemic risk, be placed under the
supervision of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (&#147;Federal Reserve&#148;). The FSOC has the authority to recommend that the Federal Reserve adopt more stringent prudential standards and reporting and disclosure requirements
for non-bank financial companies supervised by the Federal Reserve. The FSOC also has the authority to make recommendations to the Federal Reserve on various other matters that may affect the Fund, including requiring financial firms to submit
resolution plans, mandating credit exposure reports, establishing concentration limits, and limiting short-term debt. The FSOC may also recommend that other federal financial regulators impose more stringent regulation upon, or ban altogether,
financial activities of any financial firm that poses what it determines are significant risks to the financial system. In the event that the FSOC designates the Fund or the Investment Adviser as a systemic risk to be placed under the Federal
Reserve&#146;s supervision, the Fund or the Investment Adviser could face stricter prudential standards, including risk-based capital requirements, leverage limits, liquidity requirements, concentration requirements, and overall risk management
requirements, among other restrictions. Such requirements could hinder the Fund&#146;s ability to meet its investment objectives and may place the Fund at a disadvantage with respect to its competitors. </FONT></P>

  <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">On December 10, 2013, the Federal Reserve and other federal regulatory agencies issued
final rules implementing section 619 of the Dodd-Frank Act (the &#147;Volcker Rule&#148;), which prohibits banking entities from engaging in proprietary trading of certain instruments and limits such entities&#146; investments in, and relationships
with, &#147;covered funds,&#148; as defined in the rules. The two-year Volcker Rule conformance period was set to expire on July 21, 2014. However, in conjunction with the release of the final rules on December 10, 2013, the Federal Reserve issued
an order granting an industry-wide, one-year extension for all banking entities. As a result, banking entities are required to have wound down, sold, transferred or otherwise conformed their investments and sponsorship activities to the Volcker Rule
by July 21, 2015, absent an extension to the conformance period by the Federal Reserve or an exemption for certain &#147;permitted activities.&#148; On December 18, 2014, the Federal Reserve granted an additional one-year extension, giving banking
entities until July 21, 2016, in respect of investments in and relationships with certain funds that were in place prior to December 31, 2013 (&#147;legacy covered funds and relationships&#148;). The Federal Reserve also announced that, with respect
to legacy covered funds and relationships, the Federal Reserve intends to grant a final one-year extension in 2015, which would give banking entities until July 21, 2017 to comply with the Volcker Rule. However, all investments in and relationships
with funds covered by the Volcker Rule made after December 31, 2013 must be divested or restructured by July 21, 2015. The Investment Adviser may attempt to take certain actions to lessen the impact of the Volcker Rule, although no assurance can be
given that such actions would be successful and no assurance can be given that such actions would not have a significant negative impact on the Fund. </FONT></P>  <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT
STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The continuing implementation of the Dodd-Frank Act could also adversely affect the Investment Adviser and the Fund by increasing transaction and/or regulatory compliance costs. In addition, greater
regulatory scrutiny and the implementation of enhanced and new regulatory requirements may increase the Investment Adviser&#146;s and the Fund&#146;s exposure to potential liabilities, and in particular liabilities arising from violating any such
enhanced and/or new regulatory requirements. Increased regulatory oversight could also impose administrative burdens on the Investment Adviser and the Fund, including, without limitation, responding to investigations and implementing new policies
and procedures. The ultimate impact of the Dodd-Frank Act, and any resulting regulation, is not yet certain and the Investment Adviser and the Fund may be affected by the new legislation and regulation in ways that are currently unforeseeable.
</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In connection with an ongoing review by the SEC and its staff of the regulation of investment companies&#146; use of
derivatives, on August 31, 2011 the SEC issued a concept release to seek public comment on a wide range of issues raised by the use of derivatives by investment companies. The SEC noted that it intends to consider the comments to help determine
whether regulatory initiatives or guidance are needed to improve the current regulatory regime for investment companies and, if so, the nature of any such initiatives or guidance. While the nature of any such regulations is uncertain at this time,
it is possible that such regulations could limit the implementation of the Fund&#146;s use of derivatives, which could have an adverse impact on the Fund. The Investment Adviser cannot predict the effects of these regulations on the Fund&#146;s
portfolio. The Investment Adviser intends to monitor developments and seeks to manage the Fund&#146;s portfolio in a manner consistent with achieving the Fund&#146;s investment objectives, but there can be no assurance that they will be successful
in doing so. </FONT></P>  <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Moreover, the SEC is reportedly developing rules designed to address perceived systemic risks posed by the
asset management industry. These rules reportedly may require asset managers, such as the Investment Adviser, to give the SEC additional data about funds&#146; portfolio holdings, to conduct stress tests on their funds to determine how they would
weather economic shocks such as a sudden change in interest rates and to develop &#147;living wills&#148; for their funds describing how their businesses can be sold in an orderly manner should they become insolvent or otherwise go out of business.
Any such new rules could increase the Fund&#146;s expenses and impact its returns to shareholders. </FONT></P>  <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Certain lawmakers

commodity pool operators and/or commodity trading advisers) and the Fund. The ultimate effect these amendments may have on the Investment Adviser and the Fund is thus uncertain; however, it is possible that they may adversely affect the Fund&#146;s

Rulemaking also imposed additional reporting and disclosure obligations on commodity pool operators and this may too adversely affect the Fund&#146;s ability to manage its portfolio and impair the Fund&#146;s ability to achieve its investment

aftermath of the recent financial crisis, there appears to be a renewed popular, political and judicial focus on finance related consumer protection. Financial institution practices are also subject to greater scrutiny and criticism generally. In
the case of transactions between financial institutions and the general public, there may be a greater tendency toward strict interpretation of terms and legal rights in favor of the consuming public, particularly where there is a real or perceived
disparity in risk allocation and/or where consumers are perceived as not having had an opportunity to exercise informed consent to the transaction. In the event of conflicting interests between retail investors holding common shares of a closed-end

<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Fund intends to make regular monthly cash distributions of all or a portion of its investment company taxable income (which includes
ordinary income and realized short-term capital gains) to common shareholders. The Fund also intends to make annual distributions of its realized capital gains (which is the excess of net long-term capital gains over net short-term capital losses).
<B>A portion of the Fund&#146;s distributions on its common</B> <B>shares for recent periods have included, or have been estimated to include, a return of capital. A portion of the Fund&#146;s common share distributions for the fiscal years ending
2008, 2009, 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014 included a return of capital.</B> <B>A portion of the distributions to the preferred shareholders may also be sourced from capital attributable to the common shareholders. Any return of capital that is a
component of a distribution is not sourced from earnings and profits of the Fund and that portion should not be considered by investors as yield or total return on their</B> <B>investment in the Fund.</B> <B>Further, while any return of capital that
is a component of a distribution will not necessarily be taxed in the current period, it will have the effect of lowering the cost basis, which may lead to higher taxes upon the sale of the securities.</B> The Fund will pay common shareholders
annually all, or at least 90%, of its investment company taxable income. Various factors will affect the level of the Fund&#146;s income, such as its asset mix and use of option strategies. To permit the Fund to maintain more stable monthly
distributions, the Fund may from time to time distribute less than the entire amount of income earned in a particular period, which would be available to supplement future distributions. As a result, the distributions paid by the Fund for any
particular monthly period may be more or less than the amount of income actually earned by the Fund during that period. However, as the Fund is covered by an exemption from the 1940 Act which allows the Board of Trustees to implement a managed
distribution policy, the Board of Trustees in the future may determine to cause the Fund to distribute a fixed percentage of the Fund&#146;s average net asset value or market price per common share over a specified period of time at or about the
time of distribution or to distribute a fixed dollar amount. The Board of Trustees has no present intention to implement such a policy. Because the Fund&#146;s distribution policy may be changed by the Board of Trustees at any time and the
Fund&#146;s income will fluctuate, there can be no assurance that the Fund will pay dividends or distributions at a particular rate. See &#147;Dividends and Distributions&#148; in the SAI. </FONT></P>

rate equal to the greater of (i)&nbsp;the net asset value as most recently determined or (ii)&nbsp;95% of the then-current market price of the common shares. The valuation date is the distribution payment date or, if that date is not an NYSE MKT
trading day, the next trading day. If the net asset value of the common shares at the time of valuation exceeds the market price of the common shares, participants will receive shares purchased by the Plan agent in the open market. If the Fund
should declare a distribution payable only in cash, the Plan agent will buy the common shares for such Plan in the open market, on the NYSE MKT or elsewhere, for the participants&#146; accounts, except that the Plan agent will terminate purchases in
the open market and instead the Fund will distribute newly issued shares at a per share rate equal to the greater of net asset value or 95% of market value if, following the commencement of such purchases, the market value of the common shares plus

open market on or about the 15th&nbsp;of each month. The Plan agent will charge each shareholder who participates $0.75, plus a pro rata share of the brokerage commissions. Brokerage charges for such purchases are expected to be less than the usual
brokerage charge for such transactions. It is suggested that participants send voluntary cash payments to the Plan agent in a manner that ensures that the Plan agent will receive these payments approximately ten days (10) before the 15th of each
month. A participant may without charge withdraw a voluntary cash payment by written notice, if the notice is received by the Plan agent at least 48&nbsp;hours before such payment is to be invested. </FONT></P>

under the laws of Delaware pursuant to a Certificate of Trust dated as of January&nbsp;4, 2005. The Fund is authorized to issue an unlimited number of common shares of beneficial interest, par value $0.001 per share. Each common share of beneficial
interest has one vote and, when issued and paid for in accordance with the terms of this offering, will be fully paid and non-assessable. Though the Fund expects to pay distributions monthly on the common shares of beneficial interest, it is not
obligated to do so. All common shares of beneficial interest are equal as to distributions, assets and voting privileges and have no conversion, preemptive or other subscription rights. The Fund will send annual and semiannual reports, including
financial statements, to all holders of its shares. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Offerings of shares require approval by the Fund&#146;s Board of Trustees.
Any additional offering of common shares of beneficial interest will be subject to the requirements of the 1940 Act, which provides that common stock may not be issued at a price below the then current net asset value, exclusive of sales load,
except in connection with an offering to existing holders of common shares or with the consent of a majority of the Fund&#146;s outstanding voting securities. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT
STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Fund&#146;s common shares of beneficial interest are listed on the NYSE MKT under the symbol &#147;GGN.&#148; </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT
STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Fund&#146;s net asset value per share will be reduced immediately following the offering of common shares by the amount of the offering expenses paid by the Fund. See &#147;Use of Proceeds.&#148;
Unlike open-end funds, closed-end funds like the Fund do not continuously offer shares and do not provide daily redemptions. Rather, if a shareholder determines to buy additional common shares or sell shares already held, the shareholder may do so
by trading through a broker on the NYSE MKT or otherwise. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Shares of closed-end investment companies often trade on an exchange
at prices lower than net asset value. Because the market value of the common shares may be influenced by such factors as dividend and distribution levels (which are in turn affected by expenses), dividend and distribution stability, net asset value,
market liquidity, relative demand for and supply of such shares in the market, unrealized gains, general market and economic conditions and other factors beyond the control of the Fund, the Fund cannot assure you that common shares will trade at a
price equal to or higher than net asset value in the future. The common shares are designed primarily for long-term investors and you should not purchase the common shares if you intend to sell them soon after purchase. </FONT></P>

as Series&nbsp;B (the &#147;Series&nbsp;B Preferred Shares&#148;) and paying dividends of an annual rate equal to 5.00% of liquidation preference. The Series&nbsp;B Preferred Shares are senior to the common shares and result in the financial
leveraging of the common shares. Such leveraging tends to magnify both the risks and opportunities to common shareholders. Dividends on the preferred shares are cumulative. The Fund is required by the 1940 Act and by the Statement of Preferences to
meet certain asset coverage tests with respect to the Series&nbsp;B Preferred Shares. If the Fund fails to meet these requirements and does not correct such failure, the Fund may be required to redeem, in part or in full, the Series&nbsp;B Preferred
Shares at the redemption price of $25&nbsp;per share plus an amount equal to the accumulated and unpaid dividends whether or not declared on such shares in order to meet the requirements. Additionally, failure to meet the foregoing asset coverage
requirements could restrict the Fund&#146;s ability to pay dividends to common shareholders or repurchase common shares and could lead to sales of portfolio securities at inopportune times. The income received on the Fund&#146;s assets may vary in a

Guidelines.</I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Upon issuance, the preferred shares may be rated by one or more of the nationally recognized statistical rating organizations. Such ratings may require asset coverage tests that are more difficult to satisfy
than the 200% test in the 1940 Act and may also impose diversification, industry concentration and other limitations. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Any such
ratings assigned to a series of the preferred shares are assessments of the capacity and willingness of the Fund to pay the obligations of each of the preferred shares. Such ratings are not recommendations to purchase, hold or sell shares of either
series, inasmuch as the ratings do not comment as to market price or suitability for a particular investor. The rating agency guidelines also do not address the likelihood that an owner of preferred shares will be able to sell such shares on an
exchange, in an auction or otherwise. The ratings are based on current information furnished to the rating agencies by the Fund and the Investment Adviser and information obtained from other sources. The ratings may be changed, suspended or
withdrawn as a result of changes in, or the unavailability of, such information. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The rating agency guidelines will apply to
the preferred shares, as the case may be, only so long as such rating agency is rating such shares at the request of the Fund. The Fund will pay fees to the rating agencies for rating any series of the preferred shares. </FONT></P>

Guidelines&#148; above, the Fund must also satisfy asset maintenance requirements under the 1940 Act with respect to its preferred shares. Under the 1940 Act, such debt or preferred shares may be issued only if immediately after such issuance the
value of the Fund&#146;s total assets (less ordinary course liabilities) is at least 300% of the amount of any debt outstanding and at least 200% of the amount of any preferred stock and debt outstanding. </FONT></P>

time under the 1940 Act) with respect to all outstanding senior securities of the Fund that are debt or stock, including any outstanding preferred shares. If the Fund fails to maintain the asset coverage required under the 1940 Act on such dates and
such failure is not cured within 60&nbsp;calendar days, the Fund may, and in certain circumstances will be required to, mandatorily redeem the number of preferred shares sufficient to satisfy such asset coverage. See &#147;&#151;Redemption&#148;

</B></FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Fund presently has provisions in its Governing Documents which could have the effect of limiting, in each case,
(i)&nbsp;the ability of other entities or persons to acquire control of the Fund, (ii)&nbsp;the Fund&#146;s freedom to engage in certain transactions or (iii)&nbsp;the ability of the Fund&#146;s Trustees or shareholders to amend the Governing
Documents or effectuate changes in the Fund&#146;s management. These provisions of the Governing Documents of the Fund may be regarded as &#147;anti-takeover&#148; provisions. The Board of Trustees of the Fund is divided into three classes, each
having a term of no more than three years (except, to ensure that the term of a class of the Fund&#146;s Trustees expires each year, one class of the Fund&#146;s Trustees will serve an initial one-year term and three-year terms thereafter and
another class of its Trustees will serve an initial two-year term and three-year terms thereafter). Each year the term of one class of Trustees will expire. Accordingly, only those Trustees in one class may be changed in any one year, and it would
require a minimum of two years to change a majority of the Board of Trustees. Such system of electing Trustees may have the effect of maintaining the continuity of management and, thus, make it more difficult for the shareholders of the Fund to
change the majority of Trustees. See &#147;Management of the Fund&#151;Trustees and Officers&#148; in the SAI. A Trustee of the Fund may be removed with cause by a majority of the remaining Trustees and, without cause, by two-thirds of the remaining
Trustees or by no less than two-thirds of the aggregate number of votes entitled to be cast for the election of such Trustee. Under the Fund&#146;s By-Laws, advance notice to the Fund of any shareholder proposal is required, potential nominees to
the Board of Trustees must satisfy a series of requirements relating to, among other things, potential conflicts of interest or relationships and fitness to be a Trustee of a closed-end fund in order to be nominated or elected as a Trustee and any
shareholder proposing the nomination or election of a person as a Trustee must supply significant amounts of information designed to enable verification of whether such person satisfies such qualifications. Special voting requirements of 75% of the
outstanding voting shares (in addition to any required class votes) apply to certain mergers or a sale of all or substantially all of the Fund&#146;s assets, liquidation, conversion of the Fund into an open-end fund or interval fund and amendments
to several provisions of the Declaration of Trust, including the foregoing provisions. In addition, after completion of the offering, 80% of the holders of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund voting as a class is generally required in
order to authorize any of the following transactions: </FONT></P> <P STYLE="font-size:6px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px">&nbsp;</P>

</B></FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Fund is a non-diversified, closed-end management investment company (commonly referred to as a closed-end fund).
Closed-end funds differ from open-end funds (which are generally referred to as mutual funds) in that closed-end funds generally list their shares for trading on a stock exchange and do not redeem their shares at the request of the shareholder. This
means that if you wish to sell your shares of a closed-end fund you must trade them on the market like any other stock at the prevailing market price at that time. In a mutual fund, if the shareholder wishes to sell shares of the fund, the mutual
fund will redeem or buy back the shares at &#147;net asset value.&#148; Also, mutual funds generally offer new shares on a continuous basis to new investors, and closed-end funds generally do not. The continuous inflows and outflows of assets in a
mutual fund can make it difficult to manage the fund&#146;s investments. By comparison, closed-end funds are generally able to stay more fully invested in securities that are consistent with their investment objectives, to have greater flexibility
to make certain types of investments and to use certain investment strategies such as financial leverage and investments in illiquid securities. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT
STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Shares of closed-end funds often trade at a discount to their net asset value. Because of this possibility and the recognition that any such discount may not be in the interest of shareholders, the
Fund&#146;s Board of Trustees might consider from time to time engaging in open-market repurchases, tender offers for shares or other programs intended to reduce a discount. We cannot guarantee or assure, however, that the Fund&#146;s Board of
Trustees will decide to engage in any of these actions. Nor is there any guarantee or assurance that such actions, if undertaken, would result in the shares trading at a price equal or close to net asset value per share. The Board of Trustees might
also consider converting the Fund to an open-end mutual fund, which would also require a supermajority vote of the shareholders of the Fund and a separate vote of any outstanding preferred shares. We cannot assure you that the Fund&#146;s common
shares will not trade at a discount. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px" ALIGN="center"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B><A NAME="pro885458_16"></A>REPURCHASE OF COMMON SHARES </B></FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Fund is a non-diversified, closed-end management investment company and as such its shareholders do not, and will not, have the right
to require the Fund to repurchase their shares. The Fund, however, may repurchase its common shares from time to time as and when it deems such a repurchase advisable. The Board of Trustees has authorized such repurchases to be made when the
Fund&#146;s common shares are trading at a discount from net asset value of 7.5% or more (or such other percentage as the Board of Trustees of the Fund may determine from time to time). Although the Board of Trustees has authorized such repurchases,
the Fund is not required to repurchase its common shares. The Board of Trustees has not established a limit on the number of shares that could be purchased during such period. Pursuant to the 1940 Act, the Fund may repurchase its common shares on a
securities exchange (provided that the Fund has informed its shareholders within the preceding six months of its intention to repurchase such shares) or pursuant to tenders and may also repurchase shares privately if the Fund meets certain
conditions regarding, among other things, distribution of net income for the preceding fiscal year, status of the seller, price paid, brokerage commissions, prior notice to shareholders of an intention to purchase shares and purchasing in a manner
and on a basis that does not discriminate unfairly against the other shareholders through their interest in the Fund. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">When the
Fund repurchases its common shares for a price below net asset value, the net asset value of the common shares that remain outstanding shares will be enhanced, but this does not necessarily mean that the market price of the outstanding common shares
will be affected, either positively or negatively. The repurchase of common shares will reduce the total assets of the Fund available for investment and may increase the Fund&#146;s expense ratio. </FONT></P>

on that day. If no bid or asked prices are quoted on such day, the security is valued at the most recently available price or if the Board of Trustees so determines, by such other method as the Board of Trustees shall determine in good faith to

being valued. Debt instruments with remaining maturities of 60&nbsp;days or less that are not credit impaired are valued at amortized cost, unless the Board of Trustees determines such amount does not reflect the securities&#146; fair value, in
which case these securities will be fair valued as determined by the Board of Trustees. Debt instruments having a maturity greater than 60&nbsp;days for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the average of the latest bid and
asked prices. If there were no asked prices quoted on such day, the security is valued using the closing bid price. Futures contracts are valued at the closing settlement price of the exchange or board of trade on which the applicable contract is
traded. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Securities and assets for which market quotations are not readily available are fair valued as determined by the Board
of Trustees. Fair valuation methodologies and procedures may include, but are not limited to: analysis and review of available financial and non-financial information about the company; comparisons to the valuation and changes in valuation of
similar securities, including a comparison of foreign securities to the equivalent U.S.&nbsp;dollar value ADR securities at the close of the U.S.&nbsp;exchange; and evaluation of any other information that could be indicative of the value of the
security. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Fund obtains valuations on the basis of prices provided by a pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees.

ownership and disposition of the Fund&#146;s shares. A more complete discussion of the tax rules applicable to the Fund and its shareholders can be found in the SAI that is incorporated by reference into this Prospectus. This discussion assumes you
are a U.S.&nbsp;person (as defined for U.S. federal income tax purposes) and that you hold your shares as capital assets (generally assets held for investment purposes). This discussion is based upon current provisions of the Code, the regulations
promulgated thereunder and judicial and administrative authorities, all of which are subject to change or differing interpretations by the courts or the Internal Revenue Service (the &#147;IRS&#148;), possibly with retroactive effect. No ruling has
been or will be sought from the IRS regarding any matter discussed herein. Counsel to the Fund has not rendered and will not render any legal opinion regarding any tax consequences relating to the Fund or an investment in the Fund. No attempt is
made to present a detailed explanation of all U.S.&nbsp;federal tax concerns affecting the Fund and its shareholders (including shareholders owning large positions in the Fund or shareholders who are subject to special rules under the Code).

Subchapter M of the Code. Accordingly, the Fund must, among other things, meet the following requirements regarding the source of its income and the diversification of its assets: </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:4%; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">(i)&nbsp;&nbsp;The Fund must derive in each taxable year at least 90% of its gross income from the following sources,
which are referred to herein as &#147;Qualifying Income&#148;: (a)&nbsp;dividends, interest (including tax-exempt interest), payments with respect to certain securities loans, and gains from the sale or other disposition of stock, securities or
foreign currencies, or other income (including but not limited to gain from options, futures and forward contracts) derived with respect to its business of investing in such stock, securities or foreign currencies; and (b)&nbsp;net income derived
from interests in publicly traded partnerships that are treated as partnerships for U.S.&nbsp;federal income tax purposes and that derive less than 90% of their gross income from the items described in clause&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;above (each a

that, at the end of each quarter of each taxable year (a)&nbsp;at least 50% of the market value of the Fund&#146;s total assets is represented by cash and cash items (including receivables), U.S.&nbsp;government securities, the securities of other
regulated investment companies and other securities, with such other securities limited, in respect of any one issuer, to an amount not greater than 5% of the value of the Fund&#146;s total assets and not more than 10% of the outstanding voting

investment companies), (II)&nbsp;any two or more issuers (other than regulated investment companies) that the Fund controls and that are determined to be engaged in the same business or similar or related trades or businesses or (III)&nbsp;any one

of MLPs that are not Qualified Publicly Traded Partnerships (if any) will be Qualifying Income to the extent it is attributable to items of income of such trust or MLP that would be Qualifying Income if earned directly by the Fund. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Although in general the passive loss rules of the Code do not apply to regulated investment companies, such rules do apply to a regulated

the Fund&#146;s net tax-exempt interest income (the excess of its gross tax-exempt interest over certain disallowed deductions). The Fund intends to distribute substantially all of such income at least annually. The Fund will be subject to income
tax at regular corporate rates on any taxable income or gains that it does not distribute to its shareholders. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Code
imposes a 4% nondeductible federal excise tax on the Fund to the extent the Fund does not distribute by the end of any calendar year an amount at least equal to the sum of (i)&nbsp;98% of its ordinary income (not taking into account any capital gain
or loss) for the calendar year, (ii)&nbsp;98.2% of its capital gain in excess of its capital loss (adjusted for certain ordinary losses) for a one-year period generally ending on October 31 of the calendar year (unless an election is made to use the
Fund&#146;s fiscal year), and (iii)&nbsp;certain undistributed amounts from previous years on which the Fund paid no U.S.&nbsp;federal income tax. In addition, the minimum amounts that must be distributed in any year to avoid the federal excise tax
will be increased or decreased to reflect any under-distribution or over-distribution, as the case may be, from the previous year. While the Fund intends to distribute any income and capital gain in the manner necessary to minimize imposition of the
4% federal excise tax, there can be no assurance that sufficient amounts of the Fund&#146;s taxable income and capital gain will be distributed to entirely avoid the imposition of the federal excise tax. In that event, the Fund will be liable for
the federal excise tax only on the amount by which it does not meet the foregoing distribution requirement. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">If for any taxable

dividends (&#147;capital gain dividends&#148;) are taxable at rates applicable to long-term capital gain, regardless of how long you have held your common shares. All other dividends paid to you by the Fund (including dividends from short-term
capital gains) from its current or accumulated earnings and profits (&#147;ordinary income dividends&#148;) are generally subject to tax as ordinary income. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT
STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Any distributions you receive that are in excess of the Fund&#146;s current or accumulated earnings and profits will be treated as a tax-free return of capital to the extent of your adjusted tax basis in
your common shares, and thereafter as capital gain from the sale of common shares. The amount of any Fund distribution that is treated as a tax-free return of capital will reduce your adjusted tax basis in your common shares, thereby increasing your
potential gain or reducing your potential loss on any subsequent sale or other disposition of your common shares. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Dividends
and other taxable distributions are taxable to you even though they are reinvested in additional common shares of the Fund. Dividends and other distributions paid by the Fund are generally treated under the Code as received by you at the time the
dividend or distribution is made. If, however, the Fund pays you a dividend in January that was declared in the previous October, November or December and you were the shareholder of record on a specified date in one of such months, then such
dividend will be treated for tax purposes as being paid by the Fund and received by you on December 31 of the year in which the dividend was declared. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT

capital gain or loss if you have held such common shares for more than one year at the time of sale. Any loss upon the sale or exchange of common shares held for six months or less will be treated as long-term capital loss to the extent of any
capital gain dividends received (including amounts credited as an undistributed capital gain dividend) by you with respect to such common shares. Any loss you realize on a sale or exchange of common shares will be disallowed if you acquire other
common shares (whether through the automatic reinvestment of dividends or otherwise) within a <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">61-day</FONT> period beginning 30&nbsp;days before and ending 30&nbsp;days after your sale or exchange of the common

company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the &#147;1940 Act&#148;). The Fund&#146;s primary investment objective is to provide a high level of current income. The Fund&#146;s secondary investment objective is to seek
capital appreciation consistent with the Fund&#146;s strategy and its primary objective. An investment in the Fund is not appropriate for all investors. We cannot assure you that the Fund&#146;s objectives will be achieved. Gabelli Funds, LLC serves
as Investment Adviser to the Fund. See &#147;Management of the Fund.&#148; </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Under normal market conditions, the Fund will attempt to
achieve its objectives by investing at least 80% of its assets in equity securities of companies principally engaged in the gold industry and the natural resources industries. The Fund will invest at least 25% of its assets in the equity securities
of companies principally engaged in the exploration, mining, fabrication, processing, distribution or trading of gold or the financing, managing, controlling or operating of companies engaged in &#147;gold-related&#148; activities. In addition, the
Fund will invest at least 25% of its assets in the equity securities of companies principally engaged in the exploration, production or distribution of natural resources, such as gas, oil, paper, food and agriculture, forestry products, metals and
minerals as well as related transportation companies and equipment manufacturers. The Fund may invest in the securities of companies located anywhere in the world. Under normal market conditions, the Fund will invest at least 40% of its assets in
the securities of issuers located in at least three countries other than the U.S.&nbsp;As part of its investment strategy, the Fund intends to generate gains through an option strategy of writing (selling) covered call options on equity securities

Trust is a royalty trust whose securities are generally listed on a Canadian securities exchange and which controls an underlying company whose business is the acquisition, exploitation, production and sale of oil and natural gas. These trusts
generally pay out to unitholders the majority of the cash flow that they receive from the production and sale of underlying oil and natural gas reserves. The amount of distributions paid on a Canadian Royalty Trust&#146;s units will vary from time
to time based on production levels, commodity prices, royalty rates and </P>

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">
certain expenses, deductions and costs, as well as on the distribution payout ratio policy adopted. As a result of distributing the bulk of its cash flow to unitholders, the ability of a Canadian
Royalty Trust to finance internal growth through exploration is limited. Therefore, Canadian Royalty Trusts typically grow through acquisition of additional oil and gas properties or producing companies with proven reserves of oil and gas, funded
through the issuance of additional equity or, where the trust is able, additional debt. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Canadian Royalty Trusts, like other types of
Natural Resources Companies, are exposed to pricing risk, supply and demand risk and depletion and exploration risk with respect to their underlying commodities, among other risks. An investment in units of Canadian Royalty Trusts involves some
risks which differ from an investment in common stock of a corporation, including increased liability for the obligations of the trust. There are certain regulatory and tax risks associated with an investment in Canadian Royalty Trusts resulting
from reliance on beneficial Canadian incentive programs and tax laws that may be changed in the future. In addition, securities of certain Canadian Royalty Trusts may not be qualifying assets for the Fund&#146;s asset diversification requirements.
</P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Master Limited Partnerships (&#147;MLPs&#148;).</I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;MLPs in which the Fund intends to invest will be limited
partnerships (or limited liability companies treated as partnerships for federal income tax purposes), the units of which will generally be listed and traded on a U.S.&nbsp;securities exchange. MLPs normally derive income and gains from the
exploration, development, mining or production, processing, refining, transportation (including pipeline transporting gas, oil, or products thereof), or the marketing of mineral or natural resources. MLPs generally have two classes of owners, the
general partner and limited partners. When investing in an MLP, the Fund intends to purchase publicly traded common units issued to limited partners of the MLP. The general partner typically controls the operations and management of the MLP. MLPs
are typically structured such that common units and general partner interests have first priority to receive quarterly cash distributions up to an established minimum amount (&#147;minimum quarterly distributions&#148; or &#147;MQD&#148;). Common
and general partner interests also accrue arrearages in distributions to the extent the MQD is not paid. Once common and general partner interests have been paid, subordinated units receive distributions of up to the MQD; however, subordinated units
do not accrue arrearages. Distributable cash in excess of the MQD paid to both common and subordinated units is distributed to both common and subordinated units generally on a pro rata basis. The general partner is also eligible to receive
incentive distributions if the general partner operates the business in a manner that results in distributions paid per common unit surpassing specified target levels. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">MLPs, like other types of Natural Resources Companies, are exposed to pricing risk, supply and demand risk and depletion and exploration risk
with respect to their underlying commodities, among other risks. An investment in MLP units involves some risks which differ from an investment in the common stock of a corporation. Holders of MLP units have limited control and voting rights on
matters affecting the partnership. In addition, there are certain tax risks associated with an investment in MLP units and conflicts of interest may exist between common unit holders and the general partner, including those arising from incentive
distribution payments. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Risk Arbitrage.</I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Fund may invest up to 10% of its assets at the time of
investment in securities pursuant to &#147;risk arbitrage&#148; strategies or in other investment funds managed pursuant to such strategies. Risk arbitrage investments are made in securities of companies for which a tender or exchange offer has been
made or announced and in securities of companies for which a merger, consolidation, liquidation or reorganization proposal has been announced if, in the judgment of the Investment Adviser, there is a reasonable prospect of total return significantly
greater than the brokerage and other transaction expenses involved. Risk arbitrage strategies attempt to exploit merger activity to capture the spread between current market values of securities and their values after successful completion of a
merger, restructuring or similar corporate transaction. Transactions associated with risk arbitrage strategies typically involve the purchases or sales of securities in connection with announced corporate actions which may include, but are not
limited to, mergers, consolidations, acquisitions, transfers of assets, tender offers, exchange offers, re-capitalizations, liquidations, divestitures, spin-offs and similar transactions. However, a merger or other restructuring or tender or
exchange offer anticipated by the Fund and in which it holds an arbitrage position may not be completed on the terms contemplated or within the time frame anticipated, resulting in losses to the Fund. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In general, securities which are the subject of such an offer or proposal sell at a premium to their historic market price immediately prior

received by shareholders as a result of the contemplated transaction; or fails adequately to recognize the possibility that the offer or proposal may be replaced or superseded by an offer or proposal of greater value. The evaluation of such

the contemplated transaction but also the financial resources and business motivation behind the offer and/or the dynamics and business climate when the offer or proposal is in process. Since such investments are ordinarily short-term in nature,
they will tend to increase the turnover ratio of the Fund, thereby increasing its brokerage and other transaction expenses. Risk arbitrage strategies may also involve short selling, options hedging and other arbitrage techniques to capture price

price of the call option written if the difference is maintained by the Fund in cash, U.S.&nbsp;Government Securities or other high-grade short-term obligations in a segregated account with its custodian. A put option is &#147;covered&#148; if the

secondary market on an exchange will exist for any particular option. In such event it might not be possible to effect closing transactions in particular options, in which case the Fund would have to exercise its options in order to realize any
profit and would incur brokerage commissions upon the exercise of call options and upon the subsequent disposition of underlying securities for the exercise of put options. If the Fund, as a covered call option writer, is unable to effect a closing
purchase transaction in a secondary market, it will not be able to sell the underlying security until the option expires or it delivers the underlying security upon exercise, or otherwise covers the position. </P>

transactions may be to hedge all or part of the Fund&#146;s securities holdings against a general decline in the securities market or a segment of the securities market. Options on securities indices are similar to options on stocks except that,
rather than the right to take or make delivery of stock at a specified price, an option on a securities index gives the holder the right to receive, upon exercise of the option, an amount of cash if the closing level of the securities index upon
which the option is based is greater than, in the case of a call option, or less than, in the case of a put option, the exercise price of the option. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Fund&#146;s successful use of options on indices depends upon its ability to predict the direction of the market and is subject to various
additional risks. The correlation between movements in the index and the price of the securities being hedged against is imperfect and the risk from imperfect correlation increases as the composition of the Fund diverges from the composition of the
relevant index. Accordingly, a decrease in the value of the securities being hedged against may not be wholly offset by a gain on the exercise or sale of a securities index put option held by the Fund. </P>

may attempt to accomplish similar objectives by purchasing put or call options on currencies or by writing put options or call options on currencies either on exchanges or in OTC markets. A put option gives the Fund the right to sell a currency at
the exercise price until the option expires. A call option gives the Fund the right to purchase a currency at the exercise price until the option expires. Both types of options serve to insure against adverse currency price movements in the
underlying portfolio assets designated in a given currency. The Fund&#146;s use of options on currencies will be subject to the same limitations as its use of options on securities, described above and in the prospectus. Currency options may be
subject to position limits that may limit the ability of the Fund to fully hedge its positions by purchasing the options. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As in the case

Futures.</I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Fund may purchase and sell financial futures contracts and options thereon which are traded on a commodities exchange or board of trade for certain hedging, yield enhancement and risk management purposes. A
financial futures contract is an agreement to purchase or sell an agreed amount of securities or currencies at a set price for delivery in the future. These futures contracts and related options may be on debt securities, financial indices,
securities indices, U.S.&nbsp;government securities and foreign currencies. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">It is anticipated that these investments, if any, will be

of a contractual obligation to deliver the Reference Assets underlying the contract at a specified price at a specified future time. A &#147;purchase&#148; of a futures contract (or a &#147;long&#148; futures position) means the assumption of a
contractual obligation to acquire the Reference Assets underlying the contract at a specified price at a specified future time. Certain futures contracts, including stock and bond index futures, are settled on a net cash payment basis rather than by
the sale and delivery of the Reference Assets underlying the futures contracts. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">No consideration will be paid or received by the Fund

exchange or board of trade on which the contract is traded and brokers or members of such board of trade may charge a higher amount). This amount is known as the &#147;initial margin&#148; and is in the nature of a performance bond or good faith
deposit on the contract. Subsequent payments, known as &#147;variation margin,&#148; to and from the broker will be made daily as the price of the index or security underlying the futures contract fluctuates. At any time prior to the expiration of
the futures contract, the Fund may elect to close the position by taking an opposite position, which will operate to terminate its existing position in the contract. </P>

contract is limited to the premium paid for the option (plus transaction costs). Because the value of the option purchased is fixed at the point of sale, there are no daily cash payments by the purchaser to reflect changes in the value of the
underlying contract; however, the value of the option does change daily and that change would be reflected in the net assets of the Fund. </P>

futures contracts and sales of call options, the Fund may establish a segregated account (not with a futures commission merchant or broker) with cash, U.S.&nbsp;Government Securities or other high grade debt securities that, when added to amounts
deposited with a futures commission merchant or a broker as margin, equal the market value of the instruments or currency underlying the futures contracts or call options, respectively (but are no less than the stock price of the call option or the

Thereon.</I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Fund may purchase or sell interest rate futures contracts to take advantage of or to protect the Fund against fluctuations in interest rates affecting the value of debt securities which the Fund holds or
intends to acquire. For example, if interest rates are expected to increase, the Fund might sell futures contracts on debt securities, the values of which historically have a high degree of positive correlation to the values of the Fund&#146;s
portfolio securities. Such a sale would have an effect similar to selling an equivalent value of the Fund&#146;s portfolio securities. If interest rates increase, the value of the Fund&#146;s portfolio securities will decline, but the value of the
futures contracts to the Fund will increase at approximately an equivalent rate thereby keeping the net asset value of the Fund from declining as much as it otherwise would have. The Fund could accomplish similar results by selling debt securities
with longer maturities and investing in debt securities with shorter maturities when interest rates are expected to increase. However, since the futures market may be more liquid than the cash market, the use of futures contracts as a risk
management technique allows the Fund to maintain a defensive position without having to sell its portfolio securities. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Similarly, the
Fund may purchase interest rate futures contracts when it is expected that interest rates may decline. The purchase of futures contracts for this purpose constitutes a hedge against increases in the price of debt securities (caused by declining
interest rates), which the Fund intends to acquire. Since fluctuations in the value of appropriately selected futures contracts should approximate that of the debt securities that will be purchased, the Fund can take advantage of the anticipated
rise in the cost of the debt securities without actually buying them. Subsequently, the Fund can make its intended purchase of the debt securities in the cash market and currently liquidate its futures position. To the extent the Fund enters into
futures contracts for this purpose, it will maintain in a segregated asset account with the Fund&#146;s Custodian, assets sufficient to cover the Fund&#146;s obligations with respect to such futures contracts, which will consist of cash or other
liquid securities from its portfolio in an amount equal to the difference between the fluctuating market value of such futures contracts and the aggregate value of the initial margin deposited by the Fund with its Custodian with respect to such
futures contracts. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The purchase of a call option on a futures contract is similar in some respects to the purchase of a call option on an
individual security. Depending on the pricing of the option compared to either the price of the futures contract upon which it is based or the price of the underlying debt securities, it may or may not be less risky than ownership of the futures
contract or underlying debt securities. As with the purchase of futures contracts, when the Fund is not fully invested it may purchase a call option on a futures contract to hedge against a market advance due to declining interest rates. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The purchase of a put option on a futures contract is similar to the purchase of protective put options on portfolio securities. The Fund will
purchase a put option on a futures contract to hedge the Fund&#146;s portfolio against the risk of rising interest rates and a consequent reduction in the value of portfolio securities. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The writing of a call option on a futures contract constitutes a partial hedge against declining prices of the securities that are deliverable
upon exercise of the futures contract. If the futures price at expiration of the option is below the exercise price, the Fund will retain the full amount of the option premium, which provides a partial hedge against any decline that may have
occurred in the Fund&#146;s portfolio holdings. The writing of a put option on a futures contract constitutes a partial hedge against increasing prices of the securities that are deliverable upon exercise of the futures contract. If the futures
price at expiration of the option is higher than the exercise price, the Fund will retain the full amount of the option premium, which provides a partial hedge against any increase in the price of debt securities that the Fund intends to purchase.
If a put or call option the Fund has written is exercised, the Fund will incur a loss which will be reduced by the amount of the premium it received. Depending on the degree of correlation between changes in the value of its portfolio securities and
changes in the value of its futures positions, the Fund&#146;s losses from options on futures it has written may to some extent be reduced or increased by changes in the value of its portfolio securities. </P>

futures contracts and options thereon are similar to the interest rate futures contracts and options thereon discussed previously. By entering into currency futures and options thereon, the Fund will seek to establish the rate at which it will be
entitled to exchange U.S.&nbsp;dollars for another currency at a future time. By selling currency futures, the Fund will seek to establish the number of dollars it will receive at delivery for a certain amount of a foreign currency. In this way,
whenever the Fund anticipates a decline in the value of a foreign currency against the U.S.&nbsp;dollar, the Fund can attempt to &#147;lock in&#148; the U.S.&nbsp;dollar value of some or all of the securities held in its portfolio that are
denominated in that currency. By purchasing currency futures, the Fund can establish the number of dollars it will be required to pay for a specified amount of a foreign currency in a future month. Thus, if the Fund intends to buy securities in the
future and expects the U.S.&nbsp;dollar to decline against the relevant foreign currency during the period before the purchase is effected, the Fund can attempt to &#147;lock in&#148; the price in U.S.&nbsp;dollars of the securities it intends to
acquire. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The purchase of options on currency futures will allow the Fund, for the price of the premium and related transaction costs it
must pay for the option, to decide whether or not to buy (in the case of a call option) or to sell (in the case of a put option) a futures contract at a specified price at any time during the period before the option expires. If the Investment
Adviser, in purchasing an option, has been correct in its judgment concerning the direction in which the price of a foreign currency would move against the U.S.&nbsp;dollar, the Fund may exercise the option and thereby take a futures position to
hedge against the risk it had correctly anticipated or close out the option position at a gain that will offset, to some extent, currency exchange losses otherwise suffered by the Fund. If exchange rates move in a way the Fund did not anticipate,
however, the Fund will have incurred the expense of the option without obtaining the expected benefit; any such movement in exchange rates may also thereby reduce rather than enhance the Fund&#146;s profits on its underlying securities transactions.

contracts are used for hedging purposes to attempt to protect the Fund&#146;s current or intended investments from broad fluctuations in stock or bond prices. For example, the Fund may sell securities index futures contracts in anticipation of or
during a market decline to attempt to offset the decrease in market value of the Fund&#146;s securities portfolio that might otherwise result. If such decline occurs, the loss in value of portfolio securities may be offset, in whole or part, by
gains on the futures position. When the Fund is not fully invested in the securities market and anticipates a significant market advance, it may purchase securities index futures contracts in order to gain rapid market exposure that may, in part or
entirely, offset increases in the cost of securities that the Fund intends to purchase. As such purchases are made, the corresponding positions in securities index futures contracts will be closed out. The Fund may write put and call options on
securities index futures contracts for hedging purposes. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Forward Currency Exchange Contracts.</I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Subject to
guidelines of the Board of Trustees, the Fund may enter into forward foreign currency exchange contracts to protect the value of its portfolio against uncertainty in the level of future currency exchange rates between a particular foreign currency
and the U.S.&nbsp;dollar or between foreign currencies in which its securities are or may be denominated. The Fund may enter into such contracts on a spot (i.e., cash) basis at the rate then prevailing in the currency exchange market or on a forward
basis by entering into a forward contract to purchase or sell currency. A forward contract on foreign currency is an obligation to purchase or sell a specific currency at a future date, which may be any fixed number of days agreed upon by the
parties from the date of the contract at a price set on the date of the contract. Forward currency contracts (i)&nbsp;are traded in a market conducted directly between currency traders (typically, commercial banks or other financial institutions)
and their customers, (ii)&nbsp;generally have no deposit requirements and (iii)&nbsp;are typically consummated without payment of any commissions. The Fund, however, may enter into forward currency contracts requiring deposits or involving the
payment of commissions. To assure that its forward currency contracts are not used to achieve investment leverage, the Fund will segregate liquid assets consisting of cash, U.S.&nbsp;Government Securities or other liquid securities with its
Custodian, or a designated <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">sub-custodian,</FONT> in an amount at all times equal to or exceeding its commitment with respect to the contracts. </P>

its aggregate investments in foreign currencies. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The use of forward currency contracts may involve certain risks, including the failure
of the counterparty to perform its obligations under the contract, and such use may not serve as a complete hedge because of an imperfect correlation between movements in the prices of the contracts and the prices of the currencies hedged or used

close out positions in futures contracts and options thereon will be subject to the development and maintenance of liquid markets. Although the Fund generally will purchase or sell only those futures contracts and options thereon for which there
appears to be a liquid market, there is no assurance that a liquid market on an exchange will exist for any particular futures contract or option thereon at any particular time. In the event no liquid market exists for a particular futures contract
or option thereon in which the Fund maintains a position, it will not be possible to effect a closing transaction in that contract or to do so at a satisfactory price and the Fund would have to either make or take delivery under the futures contract
or, in the case of a written option, wait to sell the underlying securities until the option expires or is exercised or, in the case of a purchased option, exercise the option. In the case of a futures contract or an option thereon which the Fund
has written and which the Fund is unable to close, the Fund would be required to maintain margin deposits on the futures contract or option thereon and to make variation margin payments until the contract is closed. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Successful use of futures contracts and options thereon and forward contracts by the Fund is subject to the ability of the Investment Adviser
to predict correctly movements in the direction of interest and foreign currency rates. If the Investment Adviser&#146;s expectations are not met, the Fund will be in a worse position than if a hedging strategy had not been pursued. For example, if
the Fund has hedged against the possibility of an increase in interest rates that would adversely affect the price of securities in its portfolio and the price of such securities increases instead, the Fund will lose part or all of the benefit of
the increased value of its securities because it will have offsetting losses in its futures positions. In addition, in such situations, if the Fund has insufficient cash to meet daily variation margin requirements, it may have to sell securities to
meet the requirements. These sales may be, but will not necessarily be, at increased prices that reflect the rising market. The Fund may have to sell securities at a time when it is disadvantageous to do so. </P>

in the U.S., may not involve a clearing mechanism and related guarantees, and are subject to the risk of governmental actions affecting trading in, or the prices of, securities of foreign issuers (&#147;Foreign Securities&#148;). The value of such

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Swaps.</I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Fund may enter into total rate of return, credit default
or other types of swaps and related derivatives for the purpose of hedging and risk management. These transactions generally provide for the transfer from one counterparty to another of certain risks inherent in the ownership of a financial asset
such as a common stock or debt instrument. Such risks include, among other things, the risk of default and insolvency of the obligor of such asset, the risk that the credit of the obligor or the underlying collateral will decline or the risk that
the common stock of the underlying issuer will decline in value. The transfer of risk pursuant to a derivative of this type may be complete or partial, and may be for the life of the related asset or for a shorter period. These derivatives may be
used as a risk management tool for a pool of financial assets, providing the Fund with the opportunity to gain or reduce exposure to one or more reference securities or other financial assets (each, a &#147;Reference Asset&#148;) without actually
owning or selling such assets in order, for example, to increase or reduce a concentration risk or to diversify a portfolio. Conversely, these derivatives may be used by the Fund to reduce exposure to an owned asset without selling&nbsp;it. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Because the Fund would not own the Reference Assets, the Fund may not have any voting rights with respect to the Reference Assets, and in such
cases all decisions related to the obligors or issuers of the Reference Assets, including whether to exercise certain remedies, will be controlled by the swap counterparties. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Total rate of return swaps and similar derivatives are subject to many risks, including the possibility that the market will move in a manner
or direction that would have resulted in gain for the Fund had the swap or other derivative not been utilized (in which case it would have been better had the Fund not engaged in the interest rate hedging transactions), the risk of imperfect
correlation between the risk sought to be hedged and the derivative transactions utilized, the possible inability of the counterparty to fulfill its obligations under the swap and potential illiquidity of the hedging instrument utilized, which may
make it difficult for the Fund to close out or unwind one or more hedging transactions. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Total rate of return swaps and related
derivatives present certain legal, tax and market uncertainties that present risks in entering into such arrangements. There is currently little or no case law or litigation characterizing total rate of return swaps or related derivatives,
interpreting their provisions, or characterizing their tax treatment. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Regulation of Certain Options, Currency Transactions and Other
Derivative Transactions as Swaps or Security-Based Swaps</I>.<I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</I>The Dodd-Frank Act includes provisions that comprehensively regulate the over-the-counter (i.e., not exchange-traded) derivatives markets for the first time.
This regulation requires that certain of the options, currency transactions and other derivative transactions entered into by the Fund be regulated as swaps by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission or as security-based swaps by the Securities and
Exchange Commission. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Dodd-Frank Act generally requires swaps and security-based swaps to be submitted for clearing to regulated
clearing organization (the so-called &#147;clearing mandate&#148;), unless an exemption from clearing applies. Swaps and security-based swaps that are submitted for clearing will be subject to minimum initial and variation margin requirements set by
the relevant clearing organization, as well as possible Commodity Futures Trading Commission- or Securities and Exchange Commission-mandated margin requirements. Accordingly, dealers of swaps and security-based swaps (usually large commercial banks
or other financial institutions) as well as other market participants will be required to post margin to the clearing organizations through which their swaps and/or security-based swaps are cleared. The Commodity Futures Trading Commission,
Securities and Exchange Commission and other U.S. regulators also are required to impose margin requirements on uncleared swap and uncleared security-based swap transactions. These changes with respect to clearing and margin likely will increase a
dealer&#146;s costs, and those increased costs are expected to be passed through, at least partially, to market participants, including any Fund that uses swaps or security-based swaps. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Dodd-Frank Act also requires many swaps and security-based swaps that are currently executed on a bilateral basis in the over-the-counter
market to be executed through a regulated securities, futures, or swap exchange or execution facility if those transactions are subject to the clearing mandate. Once such requirements become effective, it may be more difficult and costly for the
Funds to continue to enter into customized swap or security-based swap transactions on a bilateral basis. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In addition, dealers and major

Purchase and Sale of Futures Contracts, Certain Options and Swaps.</I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Subject to the guidelines of the Board, each Fund may engage in &#147;commodity interest&#148; transactions (generally, transactions in futures, certain
options, certain currency transactions and certain types of swaps) only for bona fide hedging, yield enhancement and risk management purposes, in each case in accordance with the rules and regulations of the CFTC. Amended CFTC Rule 4.5, upon which
the Fund relies to avoid having its adviser register with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission as a &#147;commodity pool operator,&#148; was recently been amended by the CPO-CTA Rulemaking. Certain commodity interest trading restrictions are now
applicable to the Fund as of January 1, 2013. These trading restrictions permit the Fund to engage in commodity interest transactions that include (i) &#147;bona fide hedging&#148; transactions, as that term is defined and interpreted by the
Commodity Futures Trading Commission and its staff, without regard to the percentage of the Fund&#146;s assets committed to margin and option premiums and (ii) non-bona fide hedging transactions, provided that the Fund not enter into such non-bona
fide hedging transactions if, immediately thereafter, either (a) the sum of the amount of initial margin deposits on the Fund&#146;s existing futures or swaps positions and option or swaption premiums would exceed 5% of the market value of the
Fund&#146;s liquidating value, after taking into account unrealized profits and unrealized losses on any such transactions, or (b) the aggregate net notional value of the Fund&#146;s commodity interest transactions would not exceed 100% of the
market value of the Fund&#146;s liquidating value, after taking into account unrealized profits and unrealized losses on any such transactions. </P>

one or more underlying commodities. Such structured notes provide exposure to the investment returns of physical commodities without actually investing directly in physical commodities. Such structured notes in which the Fund expects to invest are
hybrid instruments that have substantial risks, including risk of loss of all or a significant portion of their principal value. Because the payouts on these notes are linked to the price change of the underlying commodities, these investments are
subject to market risks that relate to the movement of prices in the commodities markets. They may also be subject to additional special risks that do not affect traditional equity and debt securities that may be greater than or in addition to the
risks of derivatives in general, including risk of loss of interest, risk of loss of principal, lack of liquidity and risk of greater volatility. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Risk of Loss of Interest.</I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If payment of interest on a structured note or other hybrid instrument is linked to
the value of a particular commodity, futures contract, index or other economic variable, the Fund might not receive all (or a portion) of the interest due on its investment if there is a loss in value of the underlying instrument. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Risk of Loss of Principal.</I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;To the extent that the amount of the principal to be repaid upon maturity is linked
to the value of a particular commodity, futures contract, index or other economic variable, the Fund might not receive all or a portion of the principal at maturity of the investment. At any time, the risk of loss associated with a particular
instrument in the Fund&#146;s portfolio may be significantly higher than 50% of the value of the investment. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Lack of Secondary
Market.</I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A liquid secondary market may not exist for the specially created hybrid instruments the Fund buys, which may make it difficult for the Fund to sell them at an acceptable price or accurately value them. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Risk of Greater Volatility.</I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The value of the commodities-linked equity derivative investments the Fund buys may
fluctuate significantly because the values of the underlying investments to which they are linked are themselves extremely volatile. Additionally, economic leverage will increase the volatility of these hybrid instruments, as they may increase or
decrease in value more quickly than the underlying commodity index, futures contract or other economic variable. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>The Investment

subject to risks different from those of other portfolio transactions. Because currency control is of great importance to the issuing governments and influences economic planning and policy, purchases and sales of currency and related instruments
can be adversely affected by government exchange controls, limitations or restrictions on repatriation of currency, and manipulation, or exchange restrictions imposed by governments. These forms of governmental action can result in losses to the
Fund if it is unable to deliver or receive currency or monies in settlement of obligations and could also cause hedges it has entered into to be rendered useless, resulting in full currency exposure as well as incurring transaction costs. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Repurchase Agreements.</I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements. A repurchase agreement is an instrument
under which the purchaser (i.e., the Fund) acquires a debt security and the seller agrees, at the time of the sale, to repurchase the obligation at a mutually agreed upon time and price, thereby determining the yield during the purchaser&#146;s
holding period. This results in a fixed rate of return insulated from market fluctuations during such period. The underlying securities are ordinarily U.S.&nbsp;Treasury or other government obligations or high quality money market instruments. The
Fund will require that the value of such underlying securities, together with any other collateral held by the Fund, always equals or exceeds the amount of the repurchase obligations of the counter party. The Fund&#146;s risk is primarily that, if
the seller defaults, the proceeds from the disposition of the underlying securities and other collateral for the seller&#146;s obligation are less than the repurchase price. If the seller becomes insolvent, the Fund might be delayed in or prevented
from selling the collateral. In the event of a default or bankruptcy by a seller, the Fund will promptly seek to liquidate the collateral. To the extent that the proceeds from any sale of such collateral upon a default in the obligation to
repurchase are less than the repurchase price, the Fund will experience a loss. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Investment Adviser, acting under the supervision of
the Board of Trustees of the Fund, reviews the creditworthiness of those banks and dealers with which the Fund enters into repurchase agreements to evaluate these risks and monitors on an ongoing basis the value of the securities subject to
repurchase agreements to ensure that the value is maintained at the required level. The Fund will not enter into repurchase agreements with the Investment Adviser or any of its affiliates. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">If the financial institution which is a party to the repurchase agreement petitions for bankruptcy or becomes subject to the United States
Bankruptcy Code, the law regarding the rights of the Fund is unsettled. As a result, under extreme circumstances, there may be a restriction on the Fund&#146;s ability to sell the collateral and the Fund would suffer a loss. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Loans of Portfolio Securities.</I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Consistent with applicable regulatory requirements and the Fund&#146;s investment
restrictions, the Fund may lend its portfolio securities to securities broker-dealers or financial institutions, provided that such loans are callable at any time by the Fund (subject to notice provisions described below), and are at all times
secured by cash, cash equivalents or other liquid securities which are maintained in a segregated account pursuant to applicable regulations and that are at least equal to the market value, determined daily, of the loaned securities. The advantage
of such loans is that the Fund continues to receive the income on the loaned securities while at the same time earns interest on the cash amounts deposited as collateral, which will be invested in short-term obligations. The Fund will not lend its
portfolio securities if such loans are not permitted by the laws or regulations of any state in which its shares are qualified for sale. The Fund&#146;s loans of portfolio securities will be collateralized in accordance with applicable regulatory
requirements and no loan will cause the value of all loaned securities to exceed 20% of the value of the Fund&#146;s total assets. The Fund&#146;s ability to lend portfolio securities may be limited by rating agency guidelines. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">A loan may generally be terminated by the borrower on one business day notice, or by the Fund on five business days notice. If the borrower
fails to deliver the loaned securities within five days after receipt of notice, the Fund could use the collateral to replace the securities while holding the borrower liable for any excess of replacement cost over collateral. As with any extensions
of credit, there are risks of delay in recovery and in some cases even loss of rights in the collateral should the borrower of the securities fail financially. However, these loans of portfolio securities will only be made to firms deemed by the
Investment Adviser to be creditworthy and when the income that can be earned from such loans justifies the attendant risks. The Board of Trustees will oversee the creditworthiness of the contracting parties on an ongoing basis. Upon termination of
the loan, the borrower is required to return the securities to the Fund. Any gain or loss in the market price during the </P>

loan period would inure to the Fund. The risks associated with loans of portfolio securities are substantially similar to those associated with repurchase agreements. Thus, if the counterparty to
the loan petitions for bankruptcy or becomes subject to the United States Bankruptcy Code, the law regarding the rights of the Fund is unsettled. As a result, under extreme circumstances, there may be a restriction on the Fund&#146;s ability to sell
the collateral and the Fund would suffer a loss. When voting or consent rights which accompany loaned securities pass to the borrower, the Fund will follow the policy of calling the loaned securities, to be delivered within one day after notice, to
permit the exercise of such rights if the matters involved would have a material effect on the Fund&#146;s investment in such loaned securities. The Fund will pay reasonable finder&#146;s, administrative and custodial fees in connection with a loan

into forward commitments for the purchase or sale of securities, including on a &#147;when issued&#148; or &#147;delayed delivery&#148; basis, in excess of customary settlement periods for the type of security involved. In some cases, a forward
commitment may be conditioned upon the occurrence of a subsequent event, such as approval and consummation of a merger, corporate reorganization or debt restructuring (i.e., a when, as and if issued security). When such transactions are negotiated,
the price is fixed at the time of the commitment, with payment and delivery taking place in the future, generally a month or more after the date of the commitment. While it will only enter into a forward commitment with the intention of actually
acquiring the security, the Fund may sell the security before the settlement date if it is deemed advisable by the Investment Adviser. </P>

STYLE="white-space:nowrap">day-to-day</FONT></FONT> basis within the framework of their established risk management functions, the Board of Trustees also addresses risk management of the Fund through its meetings and those of the committees and
working groups. In particular, as part of its general oversight, the Board of Trustees reviews with the Investment Adviser at Board meetings the levels and types of risks, including options risk, being undertaken by the Fund, and the Audit Committee
discusses the Fund&#146;s risk management and controls with the independent registered public accounting firm engaged by the Fund. The Board of Trustees reviews valuation policies and procedures and the valuations of specific illiquid securities.
The Board of Trustees also receives periodic reports from the Fund&#146;s Chief Compliance Officer regarding compliance matters relating to the Fund and its major service providers, including results of the implementation and testing of the
Fund&#146;s and such providers&#146; compliance programs. The Board of Trustees&#146; oversight function is facilitated by management reporting processes that are designed to provide visibility to the Board of Trustees about the identification,
assessment, and management of critical risks and the controls and policies and procedures used to mitigate those risks. The Board of Trustees reviews its role in supervising the Fund&#146;s risk management from time to time and may make changes in
its discretion at any time. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Board of Trustees has determined that its leadership structure is appropriate for the Fund because it

the Fund. The Fund&#146;s average weekly net assets will be deemed to be the average weekly value of the Fund&#146;s total assets minus the sum of the Fund&#146;s liabilities (such liabilities exclude the aggregate liquidation preference of
outstanding preferred shares and accumulated dividends, if any, on those shares and the outstanding principal amount of any debt securities the proceeds of which were used for investment purposes, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon). For
purposes of the calculation of the fees payable to the Investment Adviser by the Fund, average weekly net assets of the Fund are determined at the end of each month on the basis of its average net assets for each week during the month. The assets
for each weekly period are determined by averaging the net assets at the end of a week with the net assets at the end of the prior week. </P>

a result, the portfolio manager may not be able to formulate as complete a strategy or identify equally attractive investment opportunities for each of those accounts as might be the case if he
or she were to devote substantially more attention to the management of a single fund. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Allocation of Limited Investment
Opportunities.</I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If a portfolio manager identifies an investment opportunity that may be suitable for multiple funds or other accounts, a fund may not be able to take full advantage of that opportunity because the
opportunity may be allocated among several of these funds or accounts. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Pursuit of Differing Strategies.</I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;At
times, a portfolio manager may determine that an investment opportunity may be appropriate for only some of the funds or accounts for which he or she exercises investment responsibility, or may decide that certain of the funds or accounts should
take differing positions with respect to a particular security. In these cases, the portfolio manager may place separate transactions for one or more funds or accounts which may affect the market price of the security or the execution of the
transaction, or both, to the detriment of one or more other funds or accounts. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Selection of
Broker/Dealers.</I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Portfolio managers may be able to select or influence the selection of the brokers and dealers that are used to execute securities transactions for the funds or accounts that they supervise. In addition to
providing execution of trades, some brokers and dealers provide portfolio managers with brokerage and research services which may result in the payment of higher brokerage fees than might otherwise be available. These services may be more beneficial
to certain funds or accounts than to others. Although the payment of brokerage commissions is subject to the requirement that the portfolio manager determine in good faith that the commissions are reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage
and research services provided to the fund, a portfolio manager&#146;s decision as to the selection of brokers and dealers could yield disproportionate costs and benefits among the funds or other accounts that he or she manages. In addition, with
respect to certain types of accounts (such as pooled investment vehicles and other accounts managed for organizations and individuals) the Investment Adviser may be limited by the client concerning the selection of brokers or may be instructed to
direct trades to particular brokers. In these cases, the Investment Adviser or its affiliates may place separate, non-simultaneous transactions in the same security for a fund and another account that may temporarily affect the market price of the
security or the execution of the transaction, or both, to the detriment of the fund or the other accounts. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Variation in
Compensation.</I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A conflict of interest may arise where the financial or other benefits available to the portfolio manager differ among the funds or accounts that he or she manages. If the structure of the Investment
Adviser&#146;s management fee or the portfolio manager&#146;s compensation differs among funds or accounts (such as where certain funds or accounts pay higher management fees or performance-based management fees), the portfolio manager may be
motivated to favor certain funds or accounts over others. The portfolio manager also may be motivated to favor funds or accounts in which he or she has an investment interest, or in which the Investment Adviser or its affiliates have investment
interests. Similarly, the desire to maintain assets under management or to enhance a portfolio manager&#146;s performance record or to derive other rewards, financial or otherwise, could influence the portfolio manager in affording preferential
treatment to those funds or other accounts that could most significantly benefit the portfolio manager. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Investment Adviser and the
Fund have adopted compliance policies and procedures that are designed to address the various conflicts of interest that may arise for the Investment Adviser and its staff members. However, there is no guarantee that such policies and procedures
will be able to detect and prevent every situation in which an actual or potential conflict may arise. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Compensation Structure </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The compensation of the portfolio managers is reviewed annually and structured to enable the Investment Adviser to attract and retain highly
qualified professionals in a competitive environment. The portfolio managers named above receive a compensation package that includes a minimum draw or base salary, equity-based incentive compensation via restricted stock awards, and incentive based
variable compensation based on a percentage of net revenues received by the Investment Adviser for managing the Fund to the extent that it exceeds a minimum level of compensation. This method of compensation is based on the premise that superior

of net revenues received by the Investment Adviser for managing the account. Compensation for managing the pooled investment vehicles and other accounts that have a performance-based fee will have two components. One component of the fee is based on
a percentage of net revenues received by the Investment Adviser for managing the account or pooled investment vehicle. The second component of the fee is based on absolute performance from which a percentage of such fee is paid to the portfolio

activity of the Investment Adviser with respect to the Fund (collectively, &#147;Portfolio Holdings Information&#148;). In addition, the Fund and the Investment Adviser have adopted policies and procedures providing that Portfolio Holdings

Investment Adviser&#146;s interests and the Fund&#146;s interests arises, to have such conflict resolved by the Chief Compliance Officer or those Trustees who are not considered to be &#147;interested persons&#148;, as defined in the 1940 Act. These

restricts the ability of the Fund to make distributions of long term capital gains. </P>  <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">To the extent the Fund&#146;s total
distributions for a year exceed its net investment company taxable income (interest, dividends and net short-term capital gains in excess of expenses) and net realized long-term capital gains for that year, the excess would generally constitute a
tax-free return of capital up to the amount of a shareholder&#146;s tax basis in the common shares. Any distributions which (based upon the Fund&#146;s full year performance) constitute a tax-free return of capital would reduce a shareholder&#146;s
tax basis in the common shares, thereby increasing such shareholder&#146;s potential gain or reducing his or her potential loss on the sale of the common shares. Any such amounts distributed to a shareholder in excess of the basis in the common
shares would generally be taxable to the shareholder as capital gain. See &#147;Taxation.&#148; Distribution notices provided by the Fund to its shareholders will clearly indicate what portion of each distribution would constitute net income, net
capital gains, and return of capital based on information available to the Fund for the relevant period at the time the distribution is declared. The final determination of the source of such distributions for federal income tax purposes will be
made shortly after year end based on the Fund&#146;s actual net investment company taxable income and net capital gain for that year and would be communicated to shareholders promptly. In the event that the Fund distributes amounts in excess of its
investment company taxable income and net capital gain, such distributions will decrease the Fund&#146;s total assets and, therefore, have the likely effect of increasing the Fund&#146;s expense ratio,

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Subject to policies established by the Board of Trustees of the Fund, the Investment Adviser is responsible for placing purchase and sale
orders and the allocation of brokerage on behalf of the Fund. Transactions in equity securities are in most cases effected on U.S.&nbsp;stock exchanges and involve the payment of negotiated brokerage commissions. There may be no stated commission in
the case of securities traded in <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">over-the-counter</FONT></FONT> markets, but the prices of those securities may include undisclosed commissions or
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">mark-ups.</FONT> Principal transactions are not entered into with affiliates of the Fund. However, G.research, Inc. may execute transactions in the
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">over-the-counter</FONT></FONT> markets on an agency basis and receive a stated commission therefrom. To the extent consistent with applicable provisions of the 1940 Act and the rules
and exemptions adopted by the SEC thereunder, as well as other regulatory requirements, the Fund&#146;s Board of Trustees has determined that portfolio transactions may be executed through G.research, Inc. and its broker-dealer affiliates if, in the
judgment of the Investment Adviser, the use of those broker-dealers is likely to result in price and execution at least as favorable as those of other qualified broker-dealers, and if, in particular transactions, the affiliated broker-dealers charge
the Fund a rate consistent with that charged to comparable unaffiliated customers in similar transactions and comparable to rates charged by other broker-dealers for similar transactions. The Fund has no obligations to deal with any broker or group
of brokers in executing transactions in portfolio securities. In executing transactions, the Investment Adviser seeks to obtain the best price and execution for the Fund, taking into account such factors as price, size of order, difficulty of
execution and operational facilities of the firm involved and the firm&#146;s risk in positioning a block of securities. While the Investment Adviser generally seeks reasonably competitive commission rates, the Fund does not necessarily pay the
lowest commission available. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Subject to obtaining the best price and execution, brokers who provide supplemental research, market and
statistical information, or other services (e.g., wire services) to the Investment Adviser or its affiliates may receive orders for transactions by the Fund. The term &#147;research, market and statistical information&#148; includes advice as to the
value of securities, and advisability of investing in, purchasing or selling securities, and the availability of securities or purchasers or sellers of securities, and furnishing analyses and reports concerning issues, industries, securities,
economic factors and trends, portfolio strategy and the performance of accounts. Information so received will be in addition to and not in lieu of the services required to be performed by the Investment Adviser under the Investment Advisory
Agreement and the expenses of the Investment Adviser will not necessarily be reduced as a result of the receipt of such supplemental information. Such information may be useful to the Investment Adviser and its affiliates in providing services to
clients other than the Fund, and not all such information is used by the Investment Adviser in connection with the Fund. Conversely, such information provided to the Investment Adviser and its affiliates by brokers and dealers through whom other
clients of the Investment Adviser and its affiliates effect securities transactions may be useful to the Investment Adviser in providing services to the Fund. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Although investment decisions for the Fund are made independently from those for the other accounts managed by the Investment Adviser and its
affiliates, investments of the kind made by the Fund may also be made for those other accounts. When the same securities are purchased for or sold by the Fund and any of such other accounts, it is the policy of the Investment Adviser and its
affiliates to allocate such purchases and sales in a manner deemed fair and equitable over time to all of the accounts, including the Fund. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Portfolio turnover rate is calculated by dividing the lesser of an investment company&#146;s annual sales or purchases of portfolio securities
by the monthly average value of securities in its portfolio during the year, excluding portfolio securities the maturities of which at the time of acquisition were one year or less. A high rate of portfolio turnover involves correspondingly greater

year and will not be a factor when the Investment Adviser determines that portfolio changes are appropriate. For example, an increase in the Fund&#146;s participation in risk arbitrage situations
would increase the Fund&#146;s portfolio turnover rate. A higher rate of portfolio turnover may also result in taxable gains being passed to shareholders sooner than would otherwise be the case. The investment policies of the Fund, including its
strategy of writing covered call options on securities in its portfolio, is expected to result in portfolio turnover that is higher than that of other investment companies. For the years ended December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the portfolio
turnover rates were 87.4% and 83.7%, respectively. </P>  <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="center"><B><A NAME="pro885458_108"></A>TAXATION </B></P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Although in general the passive loss rules of the Code do not apply to regulated investment companies, such rules do apply to a regulated
investment company with respect to items attributable to an interest in a Qualified Publicly Traded Partnership. The Fund&#146;s investments in partnerships, including in Qualified Publicly Traded Partnerships, may result in the Fund being subject
to state, local or foreign income, franchise or withholding tax liabilities. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As a regulated investment company, the Fund generally will
not be subject to U.S.&nbsp;federal income tax on income and gains that the Fund distributes to its shareholders, provided that it distributes each taxable year at least the sum of (i)&nbsp;90% of the Fund&#146;s investment company taxable income
(which includes, among other items, dividends, interest and the excess of any net short-term capital gain over net long-term capital loss and other taxable income, other than any net long-term capital gain (as defined below), reduced by deductible
expenses) determined without regard to the deduction for dividends paid and (ii)&nbsp;90% of the Fund&#146;s net tax-exempt interest income (the excess of its gross tax-exempt interest over certain disallowed deductions). The Fund intends to
distribute substantially all of such income at least annually. The Fund will be subject to income tax at regular corporate rates on any taxable income or gains that it does not distribute to its shareholders. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Code imposes a 4% nondeductible federal excise tax on the Fund to the extent the Fund does not distribute by the end of any calendar year
an amount at least equal to the sum of (i)&nbsp;98% of its ordinary income (not taking into account any capital gain or loss) for the calendar year, (ii)&nbsp;98.2% of its capital gain in excess of its capital loss (adjusted for certain ordinary
losses) for a one-year period generally ending on October 31 of the calendar year (unless an election is made to use the Fund&#146;s fiscal year), and (iii)&nbsp;certain undistributed amounts from previous years on which the Fund paid no
U.S.&nbsp;federal income tax. In addition, the minimum amounts that must be distributed in any year to avoid the federal excise tax will be increased or decreased to reflect any under-distribution or over-distribution, as the case may be, from the
previous year. While the Fund intends to distribute any income and capital gain in the manner necessary to minimize imposition of the 4% federal excise tax, there can be no assurance that sufficient amounts of the Fund&#146;s taxable income and
capital gain will be distributed to entirely avoid the imposition of the federal excise tax. In that event, the Fund will be liable for the federal excise tax only on the amount by which it does not meet the foregoing distribution requirement. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">A distribution will be treated as paid during the calendar year if it is paid during the calendar year or declared by the Fund in October,
November or December of the year, payable to shareholders of record on a date during such a month and paid by the Fund during January of the following year. Any such distributions paid during January of the following year will be deemed to be
received by the Fund&#146;s shareholders on December 31 of the year the distributions are declared, rather than when the distributions are actually received. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">If for any taxable year the Fund does not qualify as a regulated investment company, all of its taxable income (including its net capital
gain) will be subject to tax at regular corporate rates without any deduction for distributions to shareholders, and such distributions will be taxable to the shareholders as ordinary dividends to the extent of the Fund&#146;s current or accumulated
earnings and profits. Provided that certain holding period and other requirements are met, such dividends, however, would be eligible (i)&nbsp;to be treated as qualified dividend income in the case of shareholders taxed as individuals and
(ii)&nbsp;for the dividends received deduction in the case of corporate shareholders. The Fund could be required to recognize unrealized gains, pay taxes and make distributions (which could be subject to interest charges) before requalifying for
taxation as a regulated investment company. If the Fund fails to qualify as a regulated investment company in any year, it must pay out its earnings and profits accumulated in that year in order to qualify again as a regulated investment company. If
the Fund failed to qualify as a regulated investment company for a period greater than two taxable years, the Fund may be required to recognize and pay tax on any net built-in gains with respect to certain of its assets (i.e., the excess of the
aggregate gains, including items of income, over aggregate losses that would have been realized with respect to such assets if the Fund had been liquidated) or, alternatively, to elect to be subject to taxation on such built-in gain recognized for a

tax purposes. The cash distributions received by the Fund from an MLP may not correspond to the amount of income allocated to the Fund by the MLP in any given taxable year. If the amount of income allocated by an MLP to the Fund exceeds the amount
of cash received by the Fund from such MLP, the Fund may have difficulty making distributions to its shareholders in the amounts necessary to satisfy the requirements for maintaining its status as a regulated investment company or avoiding
U.S.&nbsp;federal income or excise taxes. Accordingly, the Fund may have to dispose of securities under disadvantageous circumstances in order to generate sufficient cash to satisfy the distribution requirements. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Fund expects that the income derived by the Fund from the MLPs in which it invests will be Qualifying Income. If, however, an MLP in which
the Fund invests is not a Qualified Publicly Traded Partnership, the income derived by the Fund from such investment may not be Qualifying Income and, therefore, could adversely affect the Fund&#146;s status as a regulated investment company. The
Fund intends to monitor its investments in MLPs to prevent the disqualification of the Fund as a regulated investment company. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The
U.S.&nbsp;tax classification of the Canadian Royalty Trusts in which the Fund invests and the types of income that the Fund receives may have an impact on the Fund&#146;s ability to qualify as a regulated investment company. In particular,
securities issued by certain Canadian Royalty Trusts (such as Canadian Royalty Trusts which are grantor trusts for U.S.&nbsp;federal income tax purposes) may not produce &#147;qualified&#148; income for purposes of determining the Fund&#146;s
compliance with the tax rules applicable to regulated investment companies. Additionally, the Fund may be deemed to directly own the assets of each Canadian Royalty Trust, and would need to look to such assets when determining the Fund&#146;s
compliance with the asset diversification rules applicable to regulated investment companies. To the extent that the Fund holds such securities indirectly through investments in a taxable subsidiary formed by the Fund, those securities may produce
&#147;qualified&#148; income. However, the net return to the Fund on such investments would be reduced to the extent that the subsidiary is subject to corporate income taxes. The Fund shall monitor its investments in the Canadian Royalty Trusts with
the objective of maintaining its continued qualification as a regulated investment company. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Gain or loss on the sales of securities by
the Fund will generally be long-term capital gain or loss if the securities have been held by the Fund for more than one year. Gain or loss on the sale of securities held for one year or less will be short-term capital gain or loss. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The premium received by the Fund for writing a call option is not included in income at the time of receipt. If the option expires, the
premium is short-term capital gain to the Fund. If the Fund enters into a closing transaction, the difference between the amount paid to close out its position and the premium received is short-term capital gain or loss. If a call option written by
the Fund is exercised, thereby requiring the Fund to sell the underlying security, the premium will increase the amount realized upon the sale of the security and any resulting gain or loss will be long-term or short-term, depending upon the holding
period of the security. With respect to a put or call option that is purchased by the Fund, if the option is sold, any resulting gain or loss will be a capital gain or loss, and will be short-term or long-term, depending upon the holding period for
the option. If the option expires, the resulting loss is a capital loss and is short-term or long-term, depending upon the holding period for the option. If the option is exercised, the cost of the option, in the case of a call option, is added to
the basis of the purchased security and, in the case of a put option, reduces the amount realized on the underlying security in determining gain or loss. Because the Fund does not have control over the exercise of the call options it writes, such
exercises or other required sales of the underlying securities may cause the Fund to realize capital gains or losses at inopportune times. </P>

(including options and futures contracts on foreign currencies) and short sales, to the extent permitted, will be subject to special provisions of the Code (including provisions relating to &#147;hedging transactions,&#148; &#147;straddles&#148; and
&#147;constructive sales&#148;) that may, among other things, affect the character of gains and losses realized by the Fund (i.e., may affect whether gains or losses are ordinary or capital), accelerate recognition of income to the Fund and defer
Fund losses. These rules could therefore affect the character, amount and timing of distributions to shareholders. Certain of these provisions may also (a)&nbsp;require the Fund to
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">mark-to-market</FONT></FONT> certain types of the positions in its portfolio (i.e., treat them as if they were closed out at the end of each year), (b)&nbsp;cause the Fund to
recognize income without receiving cash with which to pay dividends or make distributions in amounts necessary to satisfy the distribution requirements for avoiding income and excise taxes, (c)&nbsp;treat dividends that would otherwise constitute
qualified dividend income as non-qualified dividend income and/or (d)&nbsp;treat dividends that would otherwise be eligible for the corporate dividends-received deduction as ineligible for such treatment. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Fund&#146;s investment in so-called &#147;section&nbsp;1256 contracts,&#148; such as regulated futures contracts, most foreign currency
forward contracts traded in the interbank market, options on most stock indices and any non equity options, are subject to special tax rules. All section&nbsp;1256 contracts held by the Fund at the end of its taxable year are required to be marked
to their market value, and any unrealized gain or loss on those positions will be included in the Fund&#146;s income as if each position had been sold for its fair market value at the end of the taxable year. The resulting gain or loss will be
combined with any gain or loss realized by the Fund from positions in section&nbsp;1256 contracts closed during the taxable year. Provided such positions were held as capital assets and were not part of a &#147;hedging transaction&#148; or a
&#147;straddle,&#148; 60% of the resulting net gain or loss will be treated as long-term capital gain or loss, and 40% of such net gain or loss will be treated as short-term capital gain or loss, regardless of the period of time the positions were
actually held by the Fund. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">If the Fund purchases shares in certain foreign investment entities, called passive foreign investment
companies (&#147;PFICs&#148;), the Fund may be subject to U.S.&nbsp;federal income tax on a portion of any &#147;excess distribution&#148; or gain from the disposition of such shares even if such income is distributed as a taxable dividend by the
Fund to the shareholders. Additional charges in the nature of interest may be imposed on the Fund in respect of deferred taxes arising from such distributions or gains. Elections may be available to the Fund to mitigate the effect of this tax and
the additional charges, but such elections generally accelerate the recognition of income without the receipt of cash. Dividends paid by PFICs are not treated as qualified dividend income, as discussed below under &#147;Taxation of
Shareholders.&#148; </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">If the Fund invests in the stock of a PFIC, or any other investment that produces income that is not matched by a
corresponding cash distribution to the Fund, the Fund could be required to recognize income that it has not yet received in current income. Any such income would be treated as income earned by the Fund and therefore would be subject to the
distribution requirements of the Code. This might prevent the Fund from distributing 90% of its net investment income as is required in order to avoid Fund-level&nbsp;U.S.&nbsp;federal income taxation on all of its income, or might prevent the Fund
from distributing enough ordinary income and capital gain net income to avoid completely the imposition of the excise tax. To avoid this result, the Fund may be required to borrow money or dispose of securities in unfavorable circumstances to be
able to make required distributions to the shareholders. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Fund may invest in debt obligations purchased at a discount, with the result
that the Fund may be required to accrue income for U.S.&nbsp;federal income tax purposes before amounts due under the obligations are paid (with such accrued income increasing the amount the Fund must distribute in order to qualify as a regulated
investment company or avoid the 4% excise tax). The Fund may also invest in securities rated in the medium to lower rating categories of nationally recognized rating organizations, and in unrated securities (&#147;high yield securities&#148;). A
portion of the interest payments on such high yield securities may be treated as dividends for certain U.S.&nbsp;federal income tax purposes. </P>

forward contracts and the disposition of debt securities denominated in a foreign currency, to the extent attributable to fluctuations in exchange rates between the acquisition and disposition dates, are also treated as ordinary income or loss. </P>

investments in foreign securities may be subject to withholding and other taxes imposed by foreign countries. Tax conventions between certain countries and the U.S.&nbsp;may reduce or eliminate such taxes in some cases. If more than 50% of the
Fund&#146;s total assets at the close of its taxable year consists of stock or securities of foreign corporations, the Fund may elect for U.S.&nbsp;federal income tax purposes to treat foreign income taxes paid by it as paid by its shareholders. The
Fund may qualify for and make this election in some, but not necessarily all, of its taxable years. If the Fund were to make such an election, shareholders of the Fund would be required to take into account an amount equal to their pro rata portions
of such foreign taxes in computing their taxable income and then treat an amount equal to those foreign taxes as a U.S.&nbsp;federal income tax deduction (subject to limitations, which may be significant) or as a foreign tax credit (subject to
limitations, which may be significant) against their U.S.&nbsp;federal income liability. Shortly after any year for which it makes such an election, the Fund will report to its shareholders the amount per share of such foreign income tax that must
be included in each shareholder&#146;s gross income and the amount that may be available for the deduction or credit. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Taxation of Shareholders

expects to designate the retained amount as undistributed capital gain in a notice to its shareholders, each of whom (i)&nbsp;will be required to include in income for tax purposes as long-term capital gain its share of such undistributed amounts,
(ii)&nbsp;will be entitled to credit its proportionate share of the tax paid by the Fund against its U.S.&nbsp;federal income tax liability and to claim refunds to the extent that the credit exceeds such liability and (iii)&nbsp;will increase its

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Distributions paid by the Fund from its investment company taxable income, which includes net short-term capital gain, generally are taxable
as ordinary income to the extent of the Fund&#146;s earnings and profits. Such distributions (if reported by the Fund) may, however, qualify (provided holding period and other requirements are met by both the Fund and the shareholder) (i)&nbsp;for
the dividends received deduction available to corporations, but only to the extent that the Fund&#146;s income consists of dividend income from U.S.&nbsp;corporations and (ii)&nbsp;in the case of individual shareholders, as qualified dividend income
(eligible to be taxed at long-term capital gains rates) to the extent that the Fund receives qualified dividend income. If the Fund&#146;s qualified dividend income is less than 95% of its gross income, a shareholder of the Fund may only include as
qualified dividend income that portion of the dividends that may be and are so designated by the Fund as qualified dividend income. There can be no assurance as to what portion of the Fund&#146;s distributions will qualify for favorable treatment as
qualified dividend income. </P>  <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Qualified dividend income is, in general, dividend income from taxable domestic corporations and certain
qualified foreign corporations (e.g., generally, foreign corporations incorporated in a possession of the United States or in certain countries with a qualifying comprehensive tax treaty with the United States, or whose stock with respect to which
such dividend is paid is readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States). A qualified foreign corporation does not include a foreign corporation that for the taxable year of the corporation in which the dividend was paid,
or the preceding taxable year, is a &#147;passive foreign investment company,&#148; as defined in the Code. If the Fund lends portfolio securities, the amount received by the Fund that is the equivalent of the dividends paid by the issuer on the
securities loaned will not be eligible for qualified dividend income treatment. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Distributions of net capital gain reported as capital
gain distributions, if any, are taxable to shareholders at rates applicable to long-term capital gain, whether paid in cash or in stock, and regardless of how long the shareholder has held the Fund&#146;s shares. Capital gain distributions are not
eligible for the dividends received deduction. Unrecaptured Section&nbsp;1250 gain distributions, if any, will be subject to a 25% tax. For non-corporate taxpayers, investment company taxable income (other than qualified dividend income) will
currently be taxed at ordinary income rates, while net capital gain generally will be taxed at long-term capital gains rates. For corporate taxpayers, both investment company taxable income and net capital gain are taxed at ordinary income rates.

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The IRS currently requires that a regulated investment company that has two or more classes of
stock allocate to each such class proportionate amounts of each type of its income (such as ordinary income and net capital gain) based upon the percentage of total dividends paid to each class for the tax year. Accordingly, because the Fund issues
preferred shares, the Fund will allocate its ordinary income, net capital gain and other relevant items (if any) between its common shares and preferred shares in proportion to the total dividends paid to each class with respect to such tax year.

excess will generally be treated as a tax-free return of capital up to the amount of a shareholder&#146;s tax basis in the common shares. The amount treated as a tax-free return of capital will reduce a shareholder&#146;s tax basis in the common
shares, thereby increasing such shareholder&#146;s potential gain or reducing his or her potential loss on the sale of the common shares. Any amounts distributed to a shareholder in excess of his or her basis in the common shares will be taxable to
the shareholder as capital gain (assuming your common shares are held as a capital asset). In determining the extent to which a distribution will be treated as being made from the Fund&#146;s earnings and profits, the Fund&#146;s earnings and
profits will be allocated on a pro rata basis, first to distributions with respect to the Fund&#146;s preferred shares, and then to its common shares. </P>

shareholders such excess inclusion income will (i)&nbsp;constitute taxable income, as &#147;unrelated business taxable income&#148; (&#147;UBTI&#148;) for those shareholders who would otherwise be tax-exempt such as individual retirement accounts,

shares, a shareholder will generally realize a taxable gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount of cash and the fair market value of other property received and the shareholder&#146;s adjusted tax basis in the common shares. Such gain
or loss will be treated as long-term capital gain or loss if the common shares have been held for more than one year. Any loss realized on a sale or exchange of common shares of the Fund will be disallowed to the extent the common shares disposed of
are replaced by substantially identical common shares within a 61-day period beginning 30&nbsp;days before and ending 30&nbsp;days after the date that the common shares are disposed of. In such a case, the basis of the common shares acquired will be

individual or a foreign corporation (a &#147;foreign investor&#148;) generally will be subject to U.S. withholding tax at the rate of 30% (or possibly a lower rate provided by an applicable tax treaty) on ordinary income dividends. A foreign
investor generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income or withholding tax on any gain or income realized in respect of any distributions of net capital gain (including net capital gain retained by the Fund but deemed distributed to
shareholders) or upon the sale or other disposition of shares. Different tax consequences may result (i) if the foreign investor is engaged in a trade or business in the United States, or (ii) in the case of an individual, if the foreign investor is
present in the United States for 183 days or more during a taxable year and certain other conditions are met. Foreign investors should consult their tax advisers regarding the tax consequences of investing in the Fund&#146;s shares. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In addition, for taxable years of the Fund beginning before January 1, 2015 (and, if extended as has happened in the past, for taxable years
covered by such extension), properly reported ordinary income dividends are generally exempt from U.S. federal withholding tax where they (i) are paid in respect of the Fund&#146;s &#147;qualified net interest income&#148; (generally, the
Fund&#146;s U.S.-source interest income, other than certain contingent interest and interest from obligations of a corporation or partnership in which the Fund is at least a 10% shareholder, reduced by expenses that are allocable to such income) or
(ii) are paid in respect of the Fund&#146;s &#147;qualified short-term capital gains&#148; (generally, the excess of the Fund&#146;s net short-term capital gain over the Fund&#146;s long-term capital loss for such taxable year). There can be no
assurance as to whether this provision will be extended. In addition, even if this provision were extended, depending on its circumstances, the Fund may report all, some or none of its potentially eligible dividends as such qualified net interest
income or as qualified short-term capital gains, and/or treat such dividends, in whole or in part, as ineligible for this exemption from withholding. In order to qualify for the exemption from withholding for qualified net interest income, a foreign
investor needs to comply with applicable certification requirements relating to its non-U.S. status (including, in general, furnishing an IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E or substitute Form). In the case of shares held through an intermediary, the

Trust&nbsp;Company (&#147;DTC&#148;) will act as securities depository for the common shares offered pursuant to the prospectus. The information in this section concerning DTC and DTC&#146;s book-entry system is based upon information obtained from
DTC. The securities offered hereby initially will be issued only as fully-registered securities registered in the name of Cede&nbsp;&amp; Co. (as nominee for DTC). One or more fully-registered global security certificates initially will be issued,
representing in the aggregate the total number of securities, and deposited with DTC. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">DTC is a limited-purpose trust company organized
under the New York Banking Law, a &#147;banking organization&#148; within the meaning of the New York Banking Law, a member of the Federal Reserve System, a &#147;clearing corporation&#148; within the meaning of the New York Uniform Commercial Code
and a &#147;clearing agency&#148; registered pursuant to the provisions of Section&nbsp;17A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. DTC holds securities that its participants deposit with DTC. DTC also facilities the settlement among participants of
securities transactions, such as transfers and pledges, in deposited securities through electronic computerized book-entry changes in participants&#146; accounts, thereby eliminating the need for physical movement of securities certificates. Direct
DTC participants include securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations and certain other organizations. Access to the DTC system is also available to others such as securities brokers and dealers, banks and trust
companies that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a direct participant, either directly or indirectly through other entities. </P>

on DTC&#146;s records. The ownership interest of each actual purchaser of a security, a beneficial owner, is in turn to be recorded on the direct or indirect participants&#146; records. Beneficial owners will not receive written confirmation from
DTC of their purchases, but beneficial owners are expected to receive written confirmations providing details of the transactions, as well as periodic statements of their holdings, from the direct or indirect participants through which the
beneficial owners purchased securities. Transfers of ownership interests in securities are to be accomplished by entries made on the books of participants acting on behalf of beneficial owners. Beneficial owners will not receive certificates
representing their ownership interests in securities, except as provided herein. </P>

instructions and customary practices and will be the responsibility of such participant and not of DTC or the Fund, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time. Payment of distributions to DTC is the
responsibility of the Fund, disbursement of such payments to direct participants is the responsibility of DTC, and disbursement of such payments to the beneficial owners is the responsibility of direct and indirect participants. Furthermore each
beneficial owner must rely on the procedures of DTC to exercise any rights under the securities. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">DTC may discontinue providing its

trustees/directors, officers and employees of the Fund, the Investment Adviser and their affiliates. For example, such persons may not purchase any security for which the Fund has a purchase or sale order pending, or for which such trade is under
consideration. In addition, those trustees/directors, officers and employees that are principally involved in investment decisions for client accounts are prohibited from purchasing or selling for their own account for a period of seven days a
security that has been traded for a client&#146;s account, unless such trade is executed on more favorable terms for the client&#146;s account and it is determined that such trade will not adversely affect the client&#146;s account. Short-term
trading by such trustee/directors, officers and employees for their own accounts in securities held by a Fund client&#146;s account is also restricted. The above examples are subject to certain exceptions and they do not represent all of the trading

(collectively, the &#147;Advisers&#148;) to determine how to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities held by their clients, including the procedures that the Advisers use when a vote presents a conflict between the interests of the
shareholders of an investment company managed by one of the Advisers, on the one hand, and those of the Advisers; the principal underwriter; or any affiliated person of the investment company, the Advisers, or the principal underwriter. These
procedures will not apply where the Advisers do not have voting discretion or where the Advisers have agreed to with a client to vote the client&#146;s proxies in accordance with specific guidelines or procedures supplied by the client (to the

the parameters set by the substantive proxy voting guidelines originally published in 1988 and updated periodically, a copy of which are appended as Exhibit&nbsp;A. The Committee will include representatives of Research, Administration, Legal, and
the Advisers. Additional or replacement members of the Committee will be nominated by the Chairman and voted upon by the entire Committee. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Meetings are held on an as needed basis to form views on the manner in which the Advisers should vote proxies on behalf of their clients. </P>

(&#147;ISS&#148;), other third-party services and the analysts of G.research, Inc., will determine how to vote on each issue. For non-controversial matters, the Director of Proxy Voting Services may vote the proxy if the vote is: (1)&nbsp;consistent
with the recommendations of the issuer&#146;s Board of Directors and not contrary to the Proxy Guidelines; (2)&nbsp;consistent with the recommendations of the issuer&#146;s Board of Directors and is a non-controversial issue not covered by the Proxy

the proxy statement indicating how each issue will be voted. </P>  <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">All matters identified by the Chairman of the Committee, the Director
of Proxy Voting Services or the Legal Department as controversial, taking into account the recommendations of ISS or other third party services and the analysts of G.research, Inc., will be presented to the Proxy Voting Committee. If the Chairman of
the Committee, the Director of Proxy Voting Services or the Legal Department has identified the matter as one that (1)&nbsp;is controversial; (2)&nbsp;would benefit from deliberation by the Proxy Voting Committee; or (3)&nbsp;may give rise to a
conflict of interest between the Advisers and their clients, the Chairman of the Committee will initially determine what vote to recommend that the Advisers should cast and the matter will go before the Committee. </P>

decisions. By following the Proxy Guidelines, as well as the recommendations of ISS, other third-party services and the analysts of G.research, Inc., the Advisers are able to avoid, wherever possible, the influence of potential conflicts of
interest. Nevertheless, circumstances may arise in which one or more of the Advisers are faced with a conflict of interest or the appearance of a conflict of interest in connection with its vote. In general, a conflict of interest may arise when an
Adviser knowingly does business with an issuer, and may appear to have a material conflict between its own interests and the interests of the shareholders of an investment company managed by one of the Advisers regarding how the proxy is to be

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In practical terms, a conflict of interest may arise, for example, when a proxy is voted for a company that is a client of one of the
Advisers, such as GAMCO Asset Management Inc. A conflict also may arise when a client of one of the Advisers has made a shareholder proposal in a proxy to be voted upon by one or more of the Advisers. The Director of Proxy Voting Services, together
with the Legal Department, will scrutinize all proxies for these or other situations that may give rise to a conflict of interest with respect to the voting of proxies. </P>

relevant third party research, a summary of any views provided by the Chief Investment Officer and any recommendations by G.research, Inc. analysts. The Chief Investment Officer or the G.research, Inc. analysts may be invited to present their
viewpoints. If the Director of Proxy Voting Services or the Legal Department believe that the matter before the committee is one with respect to which a conflict of interest may exist between the Advisers and their clients, counsel will provide an
opinion to the Committee concerning the conflict. If the matter is one in which the interests of the clients of one or more of the Advisers may diverge, counsel will so advise and the Committee may make different recommendations as to different
clients. For any matters where the recommendation may trigger appraisal rights, counsel will provide an opinion concerning the likely risks and merits of such an appraisal action. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Each matter submitted to the Committee will be determined by the vote of a majority of the members present at the meeting. Should the vote
concerning one or more recommendations be tied in a vote of the Committee, the Chairman of the Committee will cast the deciding vote. The Committee will notify the proxy department of its decisions and the proxies will be voted accordingly. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Although the Proxy Guidelines express the normal preferences for the voting of any shares not covered by a contrary investment guideline
provided by the client, the Committee is not bound by the preferences set forth in the Proxy Guidelines and will review each matter on its own merits. The Advisers subscribe to ISS, which supplies current information on companies, matters being
voted on, regulations, trends in proxy voting and information on corporate governance issues. </P>  <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">If the vote cast either by the analyst
or as a result of the deliberations of the Proxy Voting Committee runs contrary to the recommendation of the Board of Directors of the issuer, the matter will be referred to legal counsel to determine whether an amendment to the most recently filed
Schedule&nbsp;13D is appropriate. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>II.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Social Issues and Other Client Guidelines </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">If a client has provided special instructions relating to the voting of proxies, they should be noted in the client&#146;s account file and
forwarded to the proxy department. This is the responsibility of the investment professional or sales assistant for the client. In accordance with Department of Labor guidelines, the Advisers&#146; policy is to vote on behalf of ERISA accounts in
the best interest of the plan participants with regard to social issues that carry an economic impact. Where an account is not governed by ERISA, the Advisers will vote shares held on behalf of the client in a manner consistent with any individual
investment/voting guidelines provided by the client. Otherwise the Advisers will abstain with respect to those shares. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>III. Client Retention of Voting

Shareholders wishing to vote their proxies must deposit their shares shortly before the date of the meeting with a designated depository. During the period in which the shares are held with a depository, shares that will be voted at the meeting
cannot be sold until the meeting has taken place and the shares are returned to the clients&#146; custodian. Absent a compelling reason to the contrary, the Advisers believe that the benefit to the client of exercising the vote is outweighed by the
cost of voting and therefore, the Advisers will not typically vote the securities of <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-U.S.&nbsp;issuers</FONT> that require <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">share-blocking.</FONT> </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In addition, voting proxies of issuers in non-US markets may also give rise to a number of administrative issues to prevent the Advisers from
voting such proxies. For example, the Advisers may receive the notices for shareholder meetings without adequate time to consider the proposals in the proxy or after the cut-off date for voting. Other markets require the Advisers to provide local
agents with power of attorney prior to implementing their respective voting instructions on the proxy. Although it is the Advisers&#146; policies to vote the proxies for its clients for which they have proxy voting authority, in the case of issuers
in non-US markets, we vote client proxies on a best efforts basis. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>V.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Voting Records </B></P>

limitation of personal liability as is extended to stockholders of a private corporation for profit incorporated under the general corporation law of the State of Delaware. No Trustee or officer of the Trust shall be subject in such capacity to any
personal liability whatsoever to any Person, other than the Trust or its Shareholders, in connection with Trust&nbsp;Property or the affairs of the Trust, save only liability to the Trust or its Shareholders arising from bad faith, willful
misfeasance, gross negligence or reckless disregard for his duty to such Person; and, subject to the foregoing exception, all such Persons shall look solely to the Trust&nbsp;Property for satisfaction of claims of any nature arising in connection
with the affairs of the Trust. If any Shareholder, Trustee or officer, as such, of the Trust, is made a party to any suit or proceeding to enforce any such liability, subject to the foregoing exception, he shall not, on account thereof, be held to

Trust (each such person being an &#147;indemnitee&#148;) against any liabilities and expenses, including amounts paid in satisfaction of judgments, in compromise or as fines and penalties, and reasonable counsel fees reasonably incurred by such
indemnitee in connection with the defense or disposition of any action, suit or other proceeding, whether civil or criminal, before any court or administrative or investigative body in which he may be or may have been involved as a party or
otherwise (other than, except as authorized by the Trustees, as the plaintiff or complainant) or with which he may be or may have been threatened, while acting in any capacity set forth above in this Section&nbsp;4.2 by reason of his having acted in
any such capacity, except with respect to any matter as to which he shall not have acted in good faith in the reasonable belief that his action was in the best interest of the Trust or, in the case of any criminal proceeding, as to which he shall
have had reasonable cause to believe that the conduct was unlawful, provided, however, that no indemnitee shall be indemnified hereunder against any liability to any person or any expense of such indemnitee arising by reason of (i)&nbsp;willful
misfeasance, (ii)&nbsp;bad faith, (iii)&nbsp;gross negligence (negligence in the case of Affiliated Indemnitees), or (iv)&nbsp;reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of his position (the conduct referred to in such clauses&nbsp;(i)
through (iv)&nbsp;being sometimes referred to herein as &#147;disabling conduct&#148;). Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any action, suit or other proceeding voluntarily prosecuted by any indemnitee as plaintiff, indemnification shall
be mandatory only if the prosecution of such action, suit or other proceeding by such indemnitee was authorized by a majority of the Trustees. </P>

final decision on the merits by a court or other body of competent jurisdiction before whom the issue of entitlement to indemnification hereunder was brought that such indemnitee is entitled to indemnification hereunder or, (2)&nbsp;in the absence
of such a decision, by (i)&nbsp;a majority vote of a quorum of those Trustees who are neither Interested Persons of the Trust nor parties to the proceeding (&#147;Disinterested Non-Party Trustees&#148;), that the indemnitee is entitled to
indemnification hereunder, or (ii)&nbsp;if such quorum is not obtainable or even if obtainable, if such majority so directs, independent legal counsel in a written opinion conclude that the indemnitee should be entitled to indemnification hereunder.
All determinations to make advance payments in connection with the expense of defending any proceeding shall be authorized and made in accordance with the immediately succeeding paragraph (c)&nbsp;below. </P>

indemnification might be sought hereunder if the Trust receives a written affirmation by the indemnitee of the indemnitee&#146;s good faith belief that the standards of conduct necessary for indemnification have been met and a written undertaking to
