no less than 5% and no more than 25% of the Fund&#8217;s outstanding shares at net asset value (&#8220;NAV&#8221;). Even though

The Fund engages in a continuous offering of four classes of shares of beneficial interest of the Fund: Class A, Class L, Class
C and Class I shares. The Fund has registered 18,666,666.66 shares and is authorized as a Delaware statutory trust to issue an
unlimited number of shares (6,666,666.66 in 2011 and 12,000,000.00 in 2013). The Fund is offering to sell, through its principal
underwriter, Northern Lights Distributors, LLC (the &#8220;Distributor&#8221;), under the terms of this prospectus, 18,666,666.66
shares (less shares previously sold) of beneficial interest at net asset value per share of the relevant share class, plus any
applicable sales load. As of June 20, 2017, the Fund&#8217;s NAV per share was $15.63 for Class A shares, $15.44 for Class L shares,
$15.34 for Class C shares and $15.81 for Class I shares. Any sales load will be deducted from the proceeds to the Fund. The maximum
sales load is 5.75% of the amount invested for Class A shares and 2.00% for Class L shares, while Class C and Class I shares are
not subject to sales charges. The minimum initial investment by a shareholder for Class A, Class L and Class C shares is $2,500
for regular accounts and $1,000 for retirement plan accounts. Subsequent investments may be made with at least $100 for regular
accounts and $50 for retirement plan accounts. The minimum initial investment for Class I shares is $1,000,000, while subsequent
investments may be made with any amount. The Fund is offering to sell its shares, on a continual basis. The Distributor is not
required to sell any specific number or dollar amount of the Fund&#8217;s shares, but will endeavor to sell the shares. Funds received
will be invested promptly and no arrangements have been made to place such funds in an escrow, trust or similar account. During
the continuous offering, shares will be sold at the NAV of the Fund next determined plus the applicable sales load. See &#8220;Plan
of Distribution.&#8221; The Fund&#8217;s continuous offering is expected to continue in reliance on Rule 415 under the Securities
Act of 1933 until the Fund has sold shares in an amount equal to approximately $5 billion. </P>

Income Fund is a continuously offered, diversified, closed-end management investment company. See &#8220;The Fund.&#8221; The Fund
is an interval fund that will offer to make quarterly repurchases of each class of shares at the NAV of that class of shares. See
&#8220;Quarterly Repurchases of Shares.&#8221;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"> <B>Investment Objective and Policies. </B>The
Fund&#8217;s investment objective is to seek returns from capital appreciation and income with an emphasis on income generation.
The Fund pursues its investment objective by investing primarily in the income-producing securities: (1) public and private real
estate securities (including securities issued by real estate funds), (2) alternative investment funds (&#8220;AIFs&#8221;), which
include business development companies (&#8220;BDCs&#8221;) as well as funds commonly known as &#8220;hedge funds,&#8221; (3) master
limited partnerships (&#8220;MLPs&#8221;), (4) common and preferred stocks, and (5) structured notes, notes, bonds and asset-backed
securities. The Fund also executes investments in the preceding types of securities through index-linked or actively managed exchange-traded
funds (&#8220;ETFs&#8221;), mutual funds and closed-end funds (collectively &#8220;Underlying Funds&#8221;). The Fund defines AIFs
as BDCs, limited partnerships and limited liability companies that pursue investment strategies linked to real estate, small businesses
or other investments that serve as alternatives to traditional stocks and bonds. In general, the Fund defines an alternative strategy
as one that is different from seeking returns from buying and holding traditional stocks and bonds. The Fund invests in securities
of issuers without restriction as to market capitalization. The majority of the Fund&#8217;s investments are not listed on an exchange
or traded in over-the-counter markets; consequently, the majority of the Fund&#8217;s investments are illiquid. </P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">The Fund concentrates investments in the real
estate industry because, under normal circumstances, it invests over 25% of its net assets in real estate industry securities.
This policy is fundamental and may not be changed without shareholder approval. The Fund may employ leverage, including borrowing
from banks in an amount up to 33-1/3% of the Fund&#8217;s assets (defined as net assets plus borrowing for investment purposes).
Leverage is primarily used to increase the size of the Fund&#8217;s portfolio of securities. However, the Fund will not leverage
by issuing debt or preferred shares during the next 12 months of operations. See &#8220;Investment Objective, Policies and Strategies&#8221;.
The Statement of Additional Information contains a list of the fundamental and non-fundamental investment policies of the Fund
under the heading &#8220;Investment Objective and Policies.&#8221;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"><B>Real Estate Securities. </B>Under normal
circumstances, the Fund will invest more than 25% of its net assets in real estate securities. This real estate industry securities
policy is fundamental and may not be changed without shareholder approval. The real estate securities in which the Fund invests
may be focused in various sectors of the commercial real estate market consisting of the office, retail, multifamily, hotel, healthcare
and self-storage sectors. The value of retail properties are affected by shifts in consumer demand due to demographic changes,
changes in spending patterns and lease terminations.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"> <B>Alternative Investment Funds. </B>The
managers of AIFs employ a variety of &#8220;alternative&#8221; investment strategies to achieve attractive risk-adjusted returns
(i.e., returns adjusted to take into account the volatility of those returns) with low correlation to the broad equity and fixed-income
markets. AIFs selected by the Adviser include real estate property funds and BDCs, each of which may pay performance-based fees
to their managers. Securities of real estate property funds are typically privately placed and are not traded on an exchange. A
BDC is a form of investment company that is required to invest at least 70% of its total assets in securities (typically debt)
of private companies, thinly traded U.S. public companies, or short-term high quality debt securities. Non-traded BDCs are illiquid
and it may not be possible to redeem shares or to do so without paying a substantial penalty. Publicly-traded BDCs usually trade
at a discount to their net asset value because they typically invest in unlisted securities and often have limited access to capital
markets. Additionally, the Fund may invest up to 15% of its net assets in securities of certain AIFs commonly known as &#8220;hedge
funds,&#8221; which are typically privately placed with investors without registration with the SEC, employ leverage and hedging
strategies as well as pay their managers performance fees on gains. In selecting AIFs, the Adviser assesses the likely risks and
returns of the different alternative investment strategies utilized by the AIFs, and evaluates the potential correlation among
the AIF investment strategies under consideration. The Adviser generally seeks to invest in AIFs whose expected risk-adjusted returns
are determined to be attractive and likely to have low correlations among each other or with the broad equity and fixed-income
markets. </P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"><B>Master Limited Partnerships</B>. An MLP
is a publicly traded or privately offered limited partnership or limited liability company. MLPs are typically engaged in one or
more aspects of the exploration, production, processing, transmission, marketing, storage or delivery of energy-related commodities
such as natural gas, natural gas liquids, coal, crude oil or refined petroleum products. An investment in MLP units differs from
an investment in the securities 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
exist between common unit holders and the general partner, including those arising from incentive distribution payments. The Adviser
considers a variety of factors, including but not limited to, market capitalization, liquidity, growth, credit rating, source of
qualifying income, business focus, and structure when selecting MLPs.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"><B>Common and Preferred Stocks.</B> The Adviser
selects dividend-paying common and preferred stocks that it believes have the potential for strong future total returns. It also
considers the sustainability and growth of a company&#8217;s dividend. The Adviser reviews company-specific factors consisting
of dividend yield, historical dividend growth and return on capital.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; background-color: white"><B>Structured Notes.</B>
A structured note is a debt security making interest and/or principal payments determined by a formula tied to the movement of
an interest rate, stock index, commodity, or currency (each a &#8220;reference index&#8221;). For example, a structured note may
use a reference index, such as the S&amp;P 500, to determine the amount of the interest payment. The Adviser selects structured
notes of any maturity issued by entities it believes to be creditworthy. The Adviser uses structured notes as a substitute for
investing in the assets that make up the reference index.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; background-color: white">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; background-color: white"><B>Debt Securities.</B>
Debt securities are notes, bonds and asset-backed securities (&#8220;ABS&#8221;). ABS represent interests in pools of loans, leases
or receivables originated by private lenders, some of which may be government approved, or affiliated lenders. Typically, an asset-backed
security is issued by a special purpose vehicle (&#8220;SPV&#8221;), such as a business trust or limited liability company, whose
value and income payments are derived from and collateralized (i.e. backed) by a specified pool of underlying assets. The Fund
invests without limit in fixed rate or floating rate debt instruments of any maturity that the Adviser believes are creditworthy
(interest and principal will be paid on schedule) or have acceptable recovery value in the event of default (through restructuring
in or outside of bankruptcy) regardless of rating, if any, including lower-quality debt securities commonly known as &#8220;high
yield&#8221; or &#8220;junk&#8221; bonds. The Adviser employs measurers consisting of debt-to-assets, debt service coverage ratio
and asset liquidation value to assess credit quality. Junk bonds are generally rated lower than Baa3 by Moody&#8217;s Investors
Service (&#8220;Moody&#8217;s&#8221;) or lower than BBB- by Standard and Poor&#8217;s Rating Group (&#8220;S&amp;P&#8221;). The
Fund will not invest more than 25% of its net assets in junk bonds. However, the Fund does not invest in debt instruments that
are in default. The Adviser selects debt securities based upon their expected yield when compared to a peer group with similar
maturity and credit quality.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"> <B>Underlying Funds.</B> The Fund also invests
in index-linked or actively managed ETFs, mutual funds and closed-end funds that each invest in real estate securities, AIFs, common
and preferred stocks, structured notes or other types of debt securities when the Adviser believes Underlying Funds offer more
efficient execution of the Fund&#8217;s strategy, such as when ample individual investments are not readily available. </P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"> <B>Investment Strategy. </B> The Adviser
pursues an investment strategy aimed to achieve the Fund&#8217;s overall investment objective utilizing a selection of securities
believed to have relatively low volatility and generally will not be highly correlated to each other or to the broad equity or
fixed income markets. The Adviser typically selects non-listed, fair valued securities primarily invested in real estate securities
and AIFs as a significant percentage of the Fund&#8217;s overall asset allocation. </P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"> The Adviser manages the Fund based upon
a model allocation consisting of individual non-listed and listed securities. The model is created taking into account several
factors such as portfolio liquidity, income and capital appreciation potential, volatility, and correlation. In addition, the model
must meet certain diversification tests in order to comply with the Internal Revenue Code and is regularly tested by the Adviser
to ensure compliance with such requirements. Ongoing investments are generally invested according to the model. Depending on certain
conditions, the Adviser may overweight or underweight new allocations. The Adviser will update the model allocation and rebalance
as needed to reflect the Adviser&#8217;s outlook. The Adviser manages investments over a long-term time horizon while being mindful
of the historical context of the markets. When the Adviser believes market conditions are unfavorable, it may temporarily invest
a portion of Fund assets in ETFs linked to stock market volatility or inversely linked to a stock market index to reduce investment
risk. </P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">The Adviser employs a regimen of qualitative
and quantitative criteria when selecting securities. Non-listed securities are generally &#8220;blind pool&#8221; investments (investment
vehicles which have no operating history and have not identified the assets that will be purchased by the company) and initially
require significant reliance on qualitative factors while over time quantitative factors are utilized to monitor the investment
strategy performance. The Adviser utilizes a proprietary quantitative screening process and a qualitative selection process when
selecting securities for investment by the Fund in connection with its strategy. Generally, securities are first selected with
the highest expected income from a sector peer group of issuers with similar market capitalization and/or credit quality. Secondarily,
the potential for capital appreciation over time is considered. No assurance can be given that any or all investment strategies,
or the Fund&#8217;s investment program, will be successful.</P>

to 0.50% and 0.75%, respectively, of the Fund&#8217;s average daily net assets attributable to Class L and Class C shares. The

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"><B>Closed-End Fund Structure. </B>Closed-end
funds differ from open-end management investment companies (commonly referred to as mutual funds) in that closed-end funds do not
typically redeem their shares at the option of the shareholder. Rather, closed-end fund shares typically trade in the secondary
market via a stock exchange. Unlike many closed-end funds, however, the Fund&#8217;s shares will not be listed on a stock exchange.
Instead, the Fund will provide very limited liquidity to shareholders by offering to repurchase a limited amount of shares quarterly,
which is discussed in more detail below. The Fund, similar to a mutual fund, is subject to continuous asset in-flows (purchases),
although not subject to continuous out-flows (redemptions).</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"><B>Share Classes. </B>The Fund offers four
different classes of shares: Class A, Class L, Class C and Class I shares. The Fund began continuously offering its common shares
on March 5, 2012. As of July 1, 2014, the Fund simultaneously redesignated its issued and outstanding common shares as Class A
shares and created its Class L, Class C and Class I shares. The Fund has received exemptive relief from the SEC to issue multiple
classes of shares and to impose asset-based distribution fees and early-withdrawal charges. An investment in any share class of
the Fund represents an investment in the same assets of the Fund. However, the purchase restrictions and ongoing fees and expenses
for each share class are different. The fees and expenses for the Fund are set forth in &#8220;Summary of Fund Expenses.&#8221;
If an investor has hired an intermediary and is eligible to invest in more than one class of shares, the intermediary may help
determine which share class is appropriate for that investor. When selecting a share class, you should consider which share classes
are available to you, how much you intend to invest, how long you expect to own shares, and the total costs and expenses associated
with a particular share class.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">Each investor&#8217;s financial considerations
are different. You should speak with your financial advisor to help you decide which share class is best for you. Not all financial
intermediaries offer all classes of shares. If your financial intermediary offers more than one class of shares, you should carefully
consider which class of shares to purchase.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"><B>Investor Suitability. </B>An investment
in the Fund involves a considerable amount of risk. It is possible that you will lose money. An investment in the Fund is suitable
only for investors who can bear the risks associated with the illiquidity of the Fund&#8217;s shares and should be viewed as a
long-term investment. Before making your investment decision, you should (i) consider the suitability of this investment with respect
to your investment objectives and personal financial situation and (ii) consider factors such as your personal net worth, income,
age, risk tolerance and liquidity needs.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"><B>Repurchases of Shares. </B>The Fund is an
interval fund and, as such, has adopted a fundamental policy to make quarterly repurchase offers, at NAV, of no less than 5% of
the shares outstanding. There is no guarantee, and it is unlikely, that shareholders will be able to sell all of the shares they
desire in a quarterly repurchase offer because shareholders, in total, may wish to sell more than 5% of the Fund&#8217;s shares.
Very limited liquidity will be provided to shareholders only through the Fund&#8217;s quarterly repurchases. The Fund maintains
liquid securities, cash or access to a bank line of credit in amounts sufficient to meet quarterly redemption requirements. See

involves risks, including the risk that you may receive little or no return on your investment or that you may lose part or all
of your investment. Therefore, before investing you should consider carefully the following risks that you assume when you invest
in the Fund&#8217;s shares. See &#8220;Risk Factors.&#8221;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"><B><I>Alternative Investment Funds Risk</I>.</B>
AIFs are subject to management and other expenses, which will be indirectly paid by the Fund. As a result, the cost of investing
in the Fund will be higher than the cost of investing directly in AIFs and also may be higher than other funds that invest directly
in stocks and bonds. Each AIF is subject to specific risks, depending on the nature of its investment strategy.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"> The Fund may invest in private investment
funds, or &#8220;hedge funds,&#8221; which pursue alternative investment strategies. Hedge funds often engage in speculative investment
practices such as leverage, short-selling, arbitrage, hedging, derivatives, and other strategies that may increase investment loss.
Hedge funds can be highly illiquid, and often charge high fees that can erode performance. </P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"> <B><I>BDC Risk</I></B>. BDCs have little
or no operating history and may carry risks similar to those of a private equity or venture capital fund. Non-traded BDCs are illiquid
and it may not be possible to redeem shares or to do so without paying a substantial penalty. Publicly-traded BDCs usually trade
at a discount to their net asset value because they generally invest in unlisted securities and typically have limited access to
capital markets. A significant portion of a BDC&#8217;s investments are recorded at fair value as determined by its board of directors
which may create uncertainty as to the value of the BDC&#8217;s investments. </P>

Equity markets can be volatile. In other words, the prices of stocks can fall rapidly in response to developments affecting a specific
company or industry, or to changing economic, political or market conditions. Preferred stock prices generally decline when interest
rates rise.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"><B><I>Distribution Policy Risk.</I></B> The
Fund&#8217;s distribution policy is expected to result in distributions that equal a fixed percentage of the Fund&#8217;s current
net asset value per share. All or a portion of a distribution may consist of a return of capital (i.e. from your original investment).
Shareholders should not assume that the source of a distribution from the Fund is net profit. Shareholders should note that return
of capital will reduce the tax basis of their shares and potentially increase the taxable gain, if any, upon disposition of their
shares.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"><B><I>Fixed Income Risk.</I></B> Typically,
a rise in interest rates causes a decline in the value of fixed income securities.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"><B><I>High Yield Risk.</I></B> Lower-quality
debt securities, known as &#8220;high yield&#8221; or &#8220;junk&#8221; bonds, present greater risk than bonds of higher quality,
including an increased risk of default. An economic downturn or period of rising interest rates could adversely affect the market
for these bonds and reduce the Fund&#8217;s ability to sell its bonds. The lack of a liquid market for these bonds could decrease
the Fund&#8217;s share price. Additionally, high yield issuers may seek bankruptcy protection which will delay resolution of bond
holder claims and may eliminate or materially reduce liquidity. The Adviser&#8217;s assessment of an issuer&#8217;s credit quality
may prove incorrect and the Fund could suffer losses.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"><B><I>Leveraging Risk.</I></B> The use of leverage,
such as borrowing money to purchase securities, will cause the Fund to incur additional expenses and magnify the Fund&#8217;s gains
or losses.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"><B><I>&nbsp;</I></B></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"> <B><I>Liquidity Risk</I>.</B> There currently
is no secondary market for the Fund&#8217;s shares and the Fund expects that no secondary market will develop. Very limited liquidity
is provided to shareholders only through the Fund&#8217;s quarterly repurchase offers. There is no guarantee that shareholders
will be able to sell all of the shares they desire in a quarterly repurchase offer. The Fund&#8217;s investments also are subject
to liquidity risk. Liquidity risk exists when particular investments of the Fund would be difficult to sell, possibly preventing
the Fund from selling such illiquid securities at an advantageous time or price, or possibly requiring the Fund to dispose of other
investments at unfavorable times or prices. </P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"> <B><I>Valuation Risk. </I></B>Illiquid securities
must be valued by the Fund using fair value procedures. Fair valuation involves subjective judgments, and it is possible that the
fair value determined for a security may differ materially from the value that could be realized upon the sale of the security. </P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"><B><I>Management Risk.</I></B> The Adviser&#8217;s
judgments about the attractiveness, value and potential appreciation of particular asset class and securities in which the Fund
invests may prove to be incorrect and may not produce the desired results.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"><B><I>Market Risk.</I></B> An investment in
the Fund&#8217;s shares is subject to investment risk, including the possible loss of the entire principal amount invested. An
investment in the Fund&#8217;s shares represents an indirect investment in the securities owned by the Fund. The value of these
securities, like other market investments, may move up or down, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"><B><I>MLP Risk.</I></B> Investments in MLPs
involve risks different from those of investing in common stock including risks related to limited control and limited rights to
vote on matters affecting the MLP, risks related to potential conflicts of interest between the MLP and the MLP&#8217;s general
partner, cash flow risks, dilution risks and risks related to the general partner&#8217;s limited call right. MLPs, typically,
do not pay U.S. federal income tax at the partnership level. Instead, each partner is allocated a share of the partnership&#8217;s
income, gains, losses, deductions and expenses. A change in current tax law or in the underlying business mix of a given MLP could
result in an MLP being treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, which would result in such MLP being required
to pay U.S. federal income tax on its taxable income.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"><B><I>Medium and Small Capitalization Company
Risk.</I></B> Compared to investment companies that focus only on large capitalization companies, the Fund&#8217;s NAV may be more
volatile because it also invests in medium and small capitalization companies. Compared to larger companies, medium and small capitalization
companies are more likely to have (i) more limited product lines or markets and less mature businesses, (ii) fewer capital resources,
(iii) more limited management depth and (iv) shorter operating histories. Further, compared to larger companies, the securities
of small and medium capitalization companies are more likely to be harder to sell.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"> <B><I>Real Estate Industry Concentration
Risk.</I></B> The Fund does not invest in real estate directly, but because the Fund concentrates its investments in real estate
securities, its portfolio is significantly impacted by the performance of the real estate market and may experience more volatility
and be exposed to greater risk than a more diversified portfolio. The value of REITs is affected by: (i) changes in general economic
and market conditions; (ii) changes in the value of real estate properties; (iii) risks related to local economic conditions, overbuilding
and increased competition; (iv) increases in property taxes and operating expenses; (v) changes in zoning laws; (vi) casualty and
condemnation losses; (vii) variations in rental income, neighborhood values or the appeal of property to tenants; (viii) the availability
of financing and (ix) changes in interest rates and leverage. To the extent that the Fund invests in real estate securities designated
as Real Estate Investment Trusts (&#8220;REITs&#8221;), if a court were to disregard the limited liability legal structure of a
REIT, the Fund could be liable for a portion of claims in excess of that REIT&#8217;s assets, such as claims arising from environmental
problems. Failure to qualify as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code would increase the REIT&#8217;s tax liability thereby reducing
the REIT&#8217;s net income available for investment or distribution; additionally
certain preferred tax treatment of distributions would no longer be passed through to investors. </P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"> <B><I>Repurchase Policy Risks. </I></B>Quarterly
repurchases by the Fund of its shares typically are funded from available cash or sales of portfolio securities. The sale of securities
to fund repurchases could reduce the market price of those securities, which in turn would reduce the Fund&#8217;s NAV. </P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"><B><I>Structured Note Risk.</I></B> The value
of a structured note will be influenced by time to maturity, level of supply and demand for the type of note; interest rates, commodity,
currency or relevant index market volatility; changes in the issuer&#8217;s credit quality rating; and economic, legal, political
or geographic events that affect the reference index. In addition, there may be a lag between a change in the value of the reference
index and the value of the structured note. The Fund may also be exposed to increased transaction costs when it seeks to sell such
notes in the secondary market. In the event that the issuer of the structured note defaults, it is possible that the Fund could
lose its entire investment.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"> <B><I>Underlying Funds Risk.</I></B> ETFs,
mutual funds, closed-end funds and AIFs are subject to investment advisory and other expenses, which will be indirectly paid by
the Fund. As a result, the cost of investing in the Fund will be higher than the cost of investing directly in ETFs, mutual funds,
closed-end funds and AIFs and may be higher than other mutual funds that invest directly in stocks and bonds. The index-linked
ETFs in which the Fund invests will not be able to replicate exactly the performance of the indices they track and the market value
of ETF and closed-end fund shares may differ from their net asset value. Inverse ETFs will limit the Fund&#8217;s participation
in market gains. Underlying Funds are subject to specific risks, depending on the nature of the fund. </P>

Fund intends to continue to be treated as and to qualify each year for taxation as a regulated investment company under Subchapter
M of the Code. In order for the Fund to qualify as a regulated investment company, it must meet income and asset diversification
tests each year. If the Fund so qualifies and satisfies certain distribution requirements, the Fund (but not its shareholders)
will not be subject to federal income tax to the extent it distributes its investment company taxable income and net capital gains
(the excess of net long-term capital gains over net short-term capital loss) in a timely manner to its shareholders in the form
of dividends or capital gain distributions. The Code imposes a 4% nondeductible excise tax on regulated investment companies, such
as the Fund, to the extent they do not meet certain distribution requirements by the end of each calendar year. The Fund anticipates
meeting these distribution requirements. See &#8220;U.S. Federal Income Tax Matters.&#8221;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">The Fund is a continuously offered, diversified,
closed-end management investment company that is operated as an interval fund. The Fund was organized as a Delaware statutory trust
on June 3, 2011. The Fund&#8217;s principal office is located at c/o Gemini Fund Services, LLC, 80 Arkay Drive, Hauppauge, NY 11788,
and its telephone number is 1-631-470-2600.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">The net proceeds of the continuous offering
of shares, after payment of the sales load (if applicable), will be invested in accordance with the Fund&#8217;s investment objective
and policies (as stated below) as soon as practicable after receipt. Pending investment of the net proceeds in accordance with
the Fund&#8217;s investment objective and policies, the Fund will invest in money market or short-term fixed-income mutual funds.
Investors should expect, therefore, that before the Fund has fully invested the proceeds of the offering in accordance with its
investment objective and policies, the Fund&#8217;s assets would earn interest income at a modest rate.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"> The Fund&#8217;s investment objective is
to seek returns from capital appreciation and income with an emphasis on income generation. The Fund pursues its investment objective
by investing primarily in the income-producing securities: (1) public and private real estate securities (including securities
issued by real estate funds), (2) alternative investment funds (&#8220;AIFs&#8221;), which include business development companies
(&#8220;BDCs&#8221;) and funds commonly known as &#8220;hedge funds,&#8221; (3) master limited partnerships (&#8220;MLPs&#8221;),
(4)&nbsp;common and preferred stocks, and (5) structured notes, notes, bonds and asset-backed securities. The Fund defines AIFs
as BDCs, limited partnerships and limited liability companies that pursue investment strategies linked to real estate, small businesses
or other investments that serve as alternatives to traditional stocks and bonds. The Fund invests in securities of issuers without
restriction as to market capitalization. The majority of the Fund&#8217;s investments are not traded on an exchange or in over-the-counter
markets; consequently, the majority of the Fund&#8217;s investments are illiquid. </P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">The Fund concentrates investments in the real
estate industry, and under normal circumstances, it invests over 25% of its net assets in real estate securities (including securities
issued by real estate funds). This policy is fundamental and may not be changed without shareholder approval. Real estate funds
are pooled investment vehicles that invest primarily in income-producing real estate or real estate-related loans or interests.
The Statement of Additional Information contains a list of the fundamental (those that may not be changed without a shareholder
vote) and non-fundamental investment policies of the Fund under the heading &#8220;Investment Objective and Policies.&#8221;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">The Fund may employ leverage, including borrowing
from banks in an amount of up to 33-1/3% of the Fund&#8217;s assets (defined as net assets plus borrowing for investment purposes).
Leverage is primarily used to increase the size of the Fund&#8217;s portfolio of securities. The Fund is authorized to borrow money
in connection with its investment activities, subject to the limits of the asset coverage requirement of the Investment Company
Act of 1940, as amended (the &#8220;1940 Act&#8221;). The Fund also may borrow money to satisfy repurchase requests from Fund shareholders
and to otherwise provide the Fund with temporary liquidity. The 1940 Act requires a registered investment company to satisfy an
asset coverage requirement of 300% of its indebtedness, including amounts borrowed and measured at the time indebtedness occurs.
This means that the value of the Fund&#8217;s total indebtedness may not exceed one-third of the value of its total assets, including
the value of the assets purchased with the proceeds of its indebtedness.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"> The Adviser uses both a quantitative screening
process and a qualitative selection process when selecting securities for investment by the Fund in connection with its strategy.
No assurance can be given that any or all investment strategies, or the Fund&#8217;s investment program, will be successful. The
Adviser utilizes a clearly defined philosophy which provides a disciplined investment strategy. When determining an asset allocation,
the Adviser typically reviews the last ten years (if available) of market data history, which the Adviser regards as the most relevant
for market forecasting purposes. The Adviser may strategically rebalance its asset allocation according to the current market conditions,
but will remain true to its fundamental analysis with respect to real estate asset class and sector risk over time. The Adviser
manages investments over a long-term time horizon, while being mindful of the historical context of the markets. The Adviser employs
a regimen of quantitative and qualitative criteria to arrive at a universe of investments which are considered to be &#8220;best-of-breed.&#8221;
The Adviser primarily selects securities with the highest expected income from a sector peer group of issuers with similar market
capitalization and/or credit quality. Secondarily, the Adviser considers potential for capital appreciation. When constructing
the Fund&#8217;s portfolio, the Adviser selects securities from sectors that it believes have relatively low volatility and will
not be highly correlated to each other or to the equity or fixed income markets, generally. The Adviser considers low to moderate
correlation or volatility strategies to be those which are expected to have 75% or less of the volatility of, or correlation to,
the relevant market or index. </P>

criteria on a macro level will include: relative attractiveness to the broader stock market, the impact of the debt capital markets

of management, relative value price-to-earnings or price-to-cash flow or funds-from-operations within a sector, whether the security
is trading at a premium or discount to its net asset value (&#8220;NAV&#8221;), and both internal (e.g. same store growth) and

debt, unsecured notes, unsecured notes and preferred equity convertible into common equity and preferred equity. Preferred equity
historically trades at a higher yield and has a lower risk profile than its common equity, but also has lower capital gain potential
unless it trades at a discount to par. This portion of the Adviser&#8217;s debt strategy will focus on quality of management, sustainability
of the business model, coverage of the common dividend and liquidity of the instrument. </FONT></TD></TR></TABLE>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"> AIFs selected by the Adviser include BDCs,
funds that invest in private debt securities, hedge funds and other issuers of private placement securities each of which may pay
performance-based fees to their managers. A BDC is a form of investment company that is required to invest at least 70% of its
total assets in securities (typically debt) of private companies, thinly traded U.S. public companies, or short-term high quality
debt securities. Non-traded BDCs are illiquid and it may not be possible to redeem shares or to do so without paying a substantial
penalty. Publicly-traded BDCs usually trade at a discount to their net asset value because they invest in unlisted securities and
have limited access to capital markets. Additionally, the Fund may invest up to 15% of its net assets in securities of issuers
commonly known as &#8220;hedge funds,&#8221; which are typically privately placed with investors without registration with the
SEC, employ leverage and hedging strategies as well as pay their managers performance fees on gains. These performance fees may
create an incentive for the manager of a hedge fund to enter into investments that are riskier or more speculative than would otherwise
be the case. The Adviser generally seeks to invest in AIFs whose expected risk-adjusted returns are determined to be attractive
and likely to have low correlations among each other or with the broad equity and fixed-income markets. The Adviser uses both a
quantitative screening process and a qualitative selection process when selecting AIF securities for investment by the Fund in
conjunction with its AIF strategy. To analyze AIFs, the Adviser relies on both proprietary research and research provided by third
parties. The Adviser reviews each AIF&#8217;s management team, operations staff, past performance, philosophy, current holdings
and investment process. Once an investment is made, the new AIF is re-evaluated and tracked on a monthly or quarterly basis. An
AIF may be liquidated based on manager drift in style, underperformance, change in management team, deviation from risk management
discipline and change in the AIF&#8217;s investment opportunity set or strategy, or any other factor that the Adviser feels will
impact future performance. Depending on the terms of the Fund&#8217;s investment in an AIF, the Adviser may or may not be able
to liquidate a certain AIF when it desires to do so. When using Underlying Funds to execute the Fund&#8217;s AIF strategy, the
Adviser will consider each Underlying Fund&#8217;s expenses and quality of management in addition to analyzing the AIF securities
held by the Underlying Fund. </P>

<P STYLE="font: 8pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"> An MLP is a publicly traded or privately
offered limited partnership or limited liability company. MLPs are typically engaged in one or more aspects of the exploration,
production, processing, transmission, marketing, storage or delivery of energy-related commodities such as natural gas, natural
gas liquids, coal, crude oil or refined petroleum products. An investment in MLP units differ from an investment in the securities
of a corporation. An investment in MLP units involves certain risks which differ from an investment in the securities 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 exist between common unit holders and the general
partner, including those arising from incentive distribution payments. As a partnership, an MLP has no tax liability at the entity
level. If, as a result of a change in current law or a change in an MLP&#8217;s business, an MLP were treated as a corporation
for federal income tax purposes, such an MLP would be obligated to pay federal income tax on its income at the corporate tax rate.
If an MLP were classified as a corporation for federal income tax purposes, the amount of cash available for distribution by the
MLP would be reduced and distributions received by investors would be taxed under federal income tax laws applicable to corporate
dividends (as dividend income, return of capital, or capital gain). Therefore, treatment of an MLP as a corporation for federal
income tax purposes would result in a reduction in the after-tax return to investors, as compared to an MLP that is not taxed as
a corporation, likely causing a reduction in the value of Fund shares. In constructing the model, the Adviser considers a variety
of factors, including but not limited to, market capitalization, liquidity, growth, credit rating, source of qualifying income,
business focus, and structure of the MLPs. The Adviser may also further evaluate MLP investments on potential tax liabilities,
trading costs, cash requirements and other factors, including the relative valuation of related MLP or other competing investments. </P>

be met from the standardized financial instruments available in the markets. Structured products can be used as an alternative
to a direct investment, as part of the asset allocation process to reduce risk exposure of the Fund&#8217;s portfolio or to capitalize
on a current market trend. The Adviser selects structures notes of any maturity issued by an entity that the Adviser considers

recovery value in the event of default (through restructuring in or outside of bankruptcy) regardless of rating, including lower-quality
debt securities commonly known as &#8220;high yield&#8221; or &#8220;junk&#8221; bonds. The Adviser employs measurers consisting
of debt-to-assets, debt service coverage ratio and asset liquidation value to assess credit quality. The Adviser selects ABS when
it believes these securities offer higher yield or better prospects for capital preservation or appreciation than competing investments
in traditional debt instruments.</P>

when it wishes the Fund to have representation in a certain sector or security type, but cannot find sufficient or suitable individual
securities that meet its investment criteria. The Adviser ranks Underlying Funds on relative expenses, past performance and strategy
fit for the Fund. In general, the Adviser selects Underlying Funds that it believes offer more efficient execution of the Fund&#8217;s
strategy, such as when ample individual investments are not readily available or the available investments do not meet the selection
criteria of the Adviser, the Adviser may seek to invest in an Underlying Fund in order to gain indirect exposure to a particular

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">The Fund may, from time to time, take defensive
positions that are inconsistent with the Fund&#8217;s principal investment strategy in attempting to respond to adverse market,
economic, political or other conditions. During such times, the Adviser may determine that the Fund should invest up to 100% of
its assets in cash or cash equivalents, including money market instruments, prime commercial paper, repurchase agreements, Treasury
bills and other short-term obligations of the U. S. Government, its agencies or instrumentalities. In these and in other cases,
the Fund may not achieve its investment objective. The Adviser may invest the Fund&#8217;s cash balances in any investments it
deems appropriate. The Adviser expects that such investments will be made, without limitation and as permitted under the 1940 Act,
in money market funds, repurchase agreements, U.S. Treasury and U.S. agency securities, municipal bonds and bank accounts. Any
income earned from such investments is ordinarily reinvested by the Fund in accordance with its investment program. Many of the
considerations entering into recommendations and decisions of the Adviser and the Fund&#8217;s portfolio managers are subjective.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">The frequency and amount of portfolio purchases
and sales (known as the &#8220;portfolio turnover rate&#8221;) will vary from year to year. The portfolio turnover rate is not
expected to exceed 100% for the current fiscal year but may vary greatly from year to year and will not be a limiting factor when
the Adviser deems portfolio changes appropriate. Although the Fund generally does not intend to trade for short-term profits, the
Fund may engage in short-term trading strategies, and securities may be sold without regard to the length of time held when, in
the opinion of the Adviser, investment considerations warrant such action. These policies may have the effect of increasing the
annual rate of portfolio turnover of the Fund. Higher rates of portfolio turnover would likely result in higher brokerage commissions
and may generate short-term capital gains taxable as ordinary income. If securities are not held for the applicable holding periods,
dividends paid on them will not qualify for the advantageous federal tax rates. See &#8220;Tax Status&#8221; in the Fund&#8217;s

real estate investment trusts (&#8220;REITs&#8221;). REITs are pooled investment vehicles that invest primarily in income-producing
real estate or real estate-related loans or interests. REITs may or may not be publicly-traded and the Fund may invest, without
limitation, in REITs which are not publicly-traded. The market value of REIT shares and the ability of REITs to distribute income
may be adversely affected by numerous factors, including rising interest rates, changes in the national, state and local economic
climate and real estate conditions, perceptions of prospective tenants of the safety, convenience and attractiveness of the properties,
the ability of the owners to provide adequate management, maintenance and insurance costs, the cost of complying with the Americans
with Disabilities Act, increasing competition and compliance with environmental laws, changes in real estate taxes and other operating
expenses, adverse changes in governmental rules and fiscal policies, adverse changes in zoning laws, and other factors beyond the
control of the issuers. In addition, distributions received by the Fund from REITs may consist of dividends, capital gains and/or
return of capital. </P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">The Fund may invest in preferred stocks of
real estate companies. Preferred stocks are securities that pay dividends at a specified rate and have a preference over common
stocks in the payment of dividends and the liquidation of assets. This means that an issuer must pay dividends on its preferred
stock prior to paying dividends on its common stock. In addition, in the event a company is liquidated, preferred shareholders
must be fully repaid on their investments before common shareholders can receive any money from the company. Preferred shareholders,
however, usually have no right to vote for a company&#8217;s directors or on other corporate matters. Preferred stocks pay a fixed
stream of income to investors, and this income stream is a primary source of the long-term investment return on preferred stocks.
As a result, the market value of preferred stocks is generally more sensitive to changes in interest rates than the market value
of common stocks. In this respect, preferred stocks share many investment characteristics with debt securities.</P>

stocks are generally obligations of a company that can be converted into a predetermined number of shares of common stock of the
company issuing the security. Convertible securities generally offer both defensive characteristics (<I>i.e</I>., provide income

of AIFs employ a variety of &#8220;alternative&#8221; investment strategies to achieve attractive risk-adjusted returns (i.e.,
returns adjusted to take into account the volatility of those returns) with low correlation (expected to be less than 75%) to the
broad equity and fixed-income markets. &#8220;Alternative&#8221; investment strategies, unlike pure &#8220;relative return strategies,&#8221;
are generally managed without reference to the performance of equity, debt and other markets. AIFs selected by the Adviser include
BDCs, funds that invest in private debt securities, hedge funds and other issuers of private placement securities, each of which
may pay performance-based fees to their managers.</P>

securities laws impose certain restraints upon the organization and operations of BDCs. For example, BDCs are required to invest
at least 70% of their total assets primarily in securities of private companies or in thinly traded U.S. public companies, cash,
cash equivalents, U.S. government securities and high quality debt instruments that mature in one year or less. BDCs may have performance-based
incentive fees and frequently trade at a discount.</P>

may invest up to 15% of its net assets in securities of certain AIFs commonly known as &#8220;hedge funds,&#8221; which are typically
privately placed with investors without registration with the SEC, employ leverage and hedging strategies as well as pay their
managers performance fees on gains. These fees may create an incentive for the manager of a hedge fund to enter into investments
that are riskier or more speculative than would otherwise be the case. The Adviser intends to allocate the Fund&#8217;s assets
among AIFs that, in the view of the Adviser, represent attractive investment opportunities. In selecting AIFs, the Adviser (with
the aid of research services employed by the Adviser), assesses the likely risks and returns of the different alternative investment
strategies utilized by the AIFs, and evaluates the potential correlation among the investment strategies under consideration. The
Adviser generally seeks to invest in AIFs whose expected risk-adjusted returns are determined to be attractive and likely to have
low correlations among each other or with the broad equity and fixed-income markets.<BR CLEAR="ALL">

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"><I>An investment in the Fund&#8217;s shares
is subject to risks. The value of the Fund&#8217;s investments will increase or decrease based on changes in the prices of the
investments it holds. This will cause the value of the Fund&#8217;s shares to increase or decrease. You could lose money by investing
in the Fund. By itself, the Fund does not constitute a balanced investment program. Before investing in the Fund you should consider
carefully the following risks. There may be additional risks that the Fund does not currently foresee or consider material. You
may wish to consult with your legal or tax advisors before deciding whether to invest in the Fund.</I></P>

<P STYLE="font: 9pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"><B><I>Alternative Investment Funds Risk</I>.
</B>Fund shareholders may bear two layers of fees and expenses: asset-based fees and expenses at the Fund level, and asset-based
fees, performance-based incentive allocations or fees and expenses at the AIF level. The Fund&#8217;s performance depends in part
upon the performance of the AIF managers and selected strategies, the adherence by such AIF managers to such selected strategies,
the instruments used by such AIF managers and the Adviser&#8217;s ability to select AIF managers and strategies and effectively
allocate Fund assets among them. Each AIF is subject to its own strategy-specific risks that may include the risks described above
as well as the risk that each AIF manager&#8217;s judgments about the value of securities, currencies or commodities may prove
incorrect and result in losses or low returns. BDCs are subject to high failure rates among the companies in which they invest
and federal securities laws impose restraints upon the organization and operations of BDCs that can limit or negatively impact
the performance of a BDC. However, the Fund does not believe it would be liable for the actions of any entity in which it invests
and that only its investment is at risk. Also, BDCs may engage in certain principal and joint transactions that a mutual fund or
closed-end fund may not without an exemptive order from the SEC. Also, the Fund may purchase in the aggregate only up to 3% of
the total outstanding voting stock of any other investment company, such as a BDC, unless the other investment company has an exemptive
order from the SEC. Equity strategies are subject to equity market risk in general and event-driven strategies are subject to the
risk that the anticipated transaction may be canceled, postponed or completed on less favorable terms.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 9pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"> The Fund may invest in private investment
funds, or &#8220;hedge funds,&#8221; which pursue alternative investment strategies. Hedge funds often engage in speculative investment
practices such as leverage, short-selling, arbitrage, hedging, derivatives, and other strategies that may increase investment loss.
Hedge funds can be highly illiquidand often charge high fees that can erode performance. Additionally, they may involve complex
tax structures and delays in distributing tax information. Because of the speculative nature of a hedge fund&#8217;s investments
and trading strategies, the Fund may suffer a significant or complete loss of its invested capital in one or more hedge funds.
A shareholder will also bear fees and expenses charged by the underlying hedge funds in addition to the Fund&#8217;s direct fees
and expenses. </P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"><B><I>BDC Risk</I>.</B> BDCs may carry risks
similar to those of a private equity or venture capital fund. Non-traded BDCs are illiquid and it may not be possible to redeem
shares or to do so without paying a substantial penalty. Publicly-traded BDCs usually trade at a discount to their net asset value
because they invest in unlisted securities and have limited access to capital markets. A BDC is a form of investment company that
is required to invest at least 70% of its total assets in securities (typically debt) of private companies, thinly traded U.S.
public companies, or short-term high quality debt securities. The BDCs held by the Fund may leverage their portfolios through borrowings
or the issuance of preferred stock. While leverage often serves to increase the yield of a BDC, this leverage also subjects a BDC
to increased risks, including the likelihood of increased volatility and the possibility that a BDC&#8217;s common share income
will fall if the dividend rate of the preferred shares or the interest rate on any borrowings rises. A significant portion of a
BDC&#8217;s investments are recorded at fair value as determined by its board of directors which may create uncertainty as to the
value of the BDC&#8217;s investments.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"><B><I>Common and Preferred Stock Risk.</I></B>
Equity markets can be volatile. In other words, the prices of equity securities can fall rapidly in response to developments affecting
a specific company or industry, or to changing economic, political or market conditions. The Fund&#8217;s investments may decline
in value if the equity markets perform poorly. There is also a risk that the Fund&#8217;s investments will underperform either
the securities markets generally or particular segments of the securities markets. Market prices of equity securities in broad
market segments may be adversely affected by a prominent issuer having experienced losses, by the lack of earnings, by an issuer&#8217;s
failure to meet the market&#8217;s expectations with respect to new products or services, or even by factors wholly unrelated to
the value or condition of the issuer, such as changes in interest rates. Preferred stocks pay a fixed stream of income to investors,
and this income stream is a primary source of the long-term investment return on preferred stocks. As a result, the market value
of preferred stocks is generally more sensitive to changes in interest rates than the market value of common stocks. In this respect,
preferred stocks share many investment characteristics with debt securities.</P>

that debt issuers will not make payments, resulting in losses to the Fund. In addition, the credit quality of securities may be
lowered if an issuer&#8217;s financial condition changes. Lower credit quality may lead to greater volatility in the price of a
security and in shares of the Fund. Lower credit quality also may affect liquidity and make it difficult to sell the security.
Default, or the market&#8217;s perception that an issuer is likely to default, could reduce the value and liquidity of securities,
thereby reducing the value of your investment in Fund shares. In addition, default may cause the Fund to incur expenses in seeking
recovery of principal or interest on its portfolio holdings.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"><B><I>Distribution Policy Risk. </I></B>The
Fund&#8217;s distribution policy is expected to result in distributions that equal a fixed percentage of the Fund&#8217;s current
net asset value per share. Shareholders receiving periodic payments from the Fund may be under the impression that they are receiving
net profits. However, all or a portion of a distribution may consist of a return of capital. Return of capital is the portion of
a distribution that is a return of your original investment dollars in the Fund. Shareholders should not assume that the source
of a distribution from the Fund is net profit. Shareholders should note that return of capital will reduce the tax basis of their
shares and potentially increase the taxable gain, if any, upon disposition of their shares.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"><B><I>Fixed Income Risk.</I></B> When the Fund
invests in fixed income securities, the value of your investment in the Fund will fluctuate with changes in interest rates. Typically,
a rise in interest rates causes a decline in the value of fixed income securities. In general, the market price of debt securities
with longer maturities will increase or decrease more in response to changes in interest rates than shorter-term securities. Other
risk factors include credit risk (the debtor may default), prepayment risk (the debtor may pay its obligation early, reducing the
amount of interest payments) and extension risk (the debtor may pay its obligation later than expected, increasing a security&#8217;s
maturity). These risks could affect the value of a particular investment, possibly causing the Fund&#8217;s share price and total
return to be reduced and fluctuate more than other types of investments.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 8pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"><B><I>&nbsp;</I></B></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"><B><I>High Yield Risk</I>.</B> Lower-quality
bonds, known as &#8220;high yield&#8221; or &#8220;junk&#8221; bonds, present a significant risk for loss of principal and interest.
These bonds offer the potential for higher return, but also involve greater risk than bonds of higher quality, including an increased
possibility that the bond&#8217;s issuer, obligor or guarantor may not be able to make its payments of interest and principal.
If that happens, the value of the bond may decrease, the Fund&#8217;s share price may decrease and its income may be reduced. An
economic downturn or period of rising interest rates could adversely affect the market for these bonds and reduce the Fund&#8217;s
ability to sell its bonds. Such securities also may include &#8220;Rule 144A&#8221; securities, which are subject to resale restrictions.
The lack of a liquid market for these bonds could decrease the Fund&#8217;s share price. The Adviser&#8217;s assessment of an issuer&#8217;s
credit quality may prove incorrect and the Fund could suffer losses.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"><B><I>Leveraging Risk. </I></B> The use of
leverage, such as borrowing money to purchase securities, by the Fund will magnify the Fund&#8217;s gains or losses. Generally,
the use of leverage also will cause the Fund to have higher expenses (especially interest expenses) than those of funds that do
not use such techniques. In addition, a lender to the Fund may terminate or refuse to renew any credit facility. If the Fund is
unable to access additional credit, it may be forced to sell investments at inopportune times, which may depress the returns of
the Fund.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"><B><I>Liquidity Risk</I>.</B> The Fund is a
closed-end investment company structured as an interval fund and designed for long-term investors. Unlike many closed-end investment
companies, the Fund&#8217;s shares are not listed on any securities exchange and are not publicly traded. There is currently no
secondary market for the shares and the Fund expects that no secondary market will develop. Very limited liquidity is provided
to shareholders only through the Fund&#8217;s quarterly repurchase offers for no less than 5% of the shares outstanding at NAV.
There is no guarantee, and it is unlikely, that shareholders will be able to sell all of the shares they desire in a quarterly
repurchase offer. The Fund&#8217;s investments are also subject to liquidity risk. Liquidity risk exists when particular investments
of the Fund would be difficult to sell, possibly preventing the Fund from selling such illiquid securities at an advantageous time
or price, or possibly requiring the Fund to dispose of other investments at unfavorable times or prices in order to satisfy its
obligations. Funds, such as this one, with principal investment strategies that involve securities of companies with smaller market
capitalizations, derivatives or securities with substantial market and/or credit risk tend to have the greatest exposure to liquidity
risk.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"><B><I>Valuation Risk.</I></B> Because many
of the securities held by the Fund do not trade on an exchange they must be valued by the Fund using fair value procedures. Fair
valuation involves subjective judgments, and it is possible that the fair value determined for a security may differ materially
from the value that could be realized upon the sale of the security.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"><B><I>Management Risk.</I></B> The NAV of the
Fund changes daily based on the performance of the securities in which it invests. The Adviser&#8217;s judgments about the attractiveness,
value and potential appreciation of particular asset class sector and securities in which the Fund invests may prove to be incorrect
and may not produce the desired results.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"><B><I>Market Risk. </I></B>An investment in
shares is subject to investment risk, including the possible loss of the entire principal amount invested. An investment in shares
represents an indirect investment in the securities owned by the Fund. The value of these securities, like other market investments,
may move up or down, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably. The value of your shares at any point in time may be worth less than
the value of your original investment, even after taking into account any reinvestment of dividends and distributions.</P>

involve risks different from those of investing in common stock including risks related to limited control and limited rights to

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 0 27pt; text-align: justify"><I>MLP Tax Risk</I>. MLPs typically
do not pay U.S. federal income tax at the partnership level. Instead, each partner is allocated a share of the partnership&#8217;s
income, gains, losses, deductions and expenses. A change in current tax law or in the underlying business mix of a given MLP could
result in an MLP being treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, which would result in such MLP being required
to pay U.S. federal income tax on its taxable income. The classification of an MLP as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax
purposes would have the effect of reducing the amount of cash available for distribution by the MLP. Thus, if any of the MLPs owned
by the Fund were treated as corporations for U.S. federal income tax purposes, it could result in a reduction of the value of your
investment in the Fund and lower income, as compared to an MLP that is not taxed as a corporation.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"> <B><I>Medium and Small Capitalization Company
Risk. </I></B>The Fund concentrates its investments in real estate industry securities. Many issuers of real estate securities
are medium or small capitalization companies which may be newly formed or have limited product lines, distribution channels and
financial and managerial resources. The risks associated with these investments are generally greater than those associated with
investments in the securities of larger, more-established companies. This may cause the Fund&#8217;s NAV to be more volatile when
compared to investment companies that focus only on large capitalization companies. Generally, securities of medium and small capitalization
companies are more likely to experience sharper swings in market values, less liquid markets, in which it may be more difficult
to sell and generally are more volatile than those of larger companies. Compared to large companies, smaller companies are more
likely to have (i) less information publicly available, (ii) more limited product lines or markets and less mature businesses,
(iii) fewer capital resources, (iv) more limited management depth and (v) shorter operating histories. Further, the equity securities
of smaller companies are often traded over-the-counter and generally experience a lower trading volume than is typical for securities
that are traded on a national securities exchange. Consequently, the Fund may be required to dispose of these securities over a
longer period of time (and potentially at less favorable prices) than would be the case for securities of larger companies, offering
greater potential for gains and losses and associated tax consequences. </P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"> <B><I>Real Estate Industry Concentration
Risk.</I></B> The Fund does not invest in real estate directly, but because the Fund concentrates its investments in real estate
industry securities, its portfolio is significantly impacted by the performance of the real estate market and may experience more
volatility and be exposed to greater risk than a more diversified portfolio. The Fund may be subject to risks similar to those
associated with direct ownership in real property. The value of the Fund&#8217;s shares is affected by factors affecting the value
of real estate and the earnings of companies engaged in the real estate industry. These factors include, among others: (i) changes
in general economic and market conditions; (ii) changes in the value of real estate properties; (iii) risks related to local economic
conditions, overbuilding and increased competition; (iv) increases in property taxes and operating expenses; (v) changes in zoning
laws; (vi) casualty and condemnation losses; (vii) variations in rental income, neighborhood values or the appeal of property to
tenants; (viii) the availability of financing and (ix) changes in interest rates. Many real estate companies utilize leverage,
which increases investment risk and could adversely affect a company&#8217;s operations and market value in periods of rising interest
rates. The value of securities of companies in the real estate industry may go through cycles of relative under-performance and
over-performance in comparison to equity securities markets in general. To the extent that the Fund invests in real estate securities
designated as REITs, if a court were to disregard the limited liability legal structure of a REIT, the Fund could be liable for
a portion of claims in excess of that REITs assets, such as claims arising from environmental problems. Failure to qualify as a
REIT under the Internal Revenue Code would increase the REITs tax liability thereby reducing the REIT&#8217;s net income available
for investment or distribution; additionally certain preferred tax treatment of distributions would no longer be passed through
to investors. </P>

real estate industry, community centers are subject to environmental risks and interest rate risk. They also face the need to enter

control, including general and local economic conditions (such as inflation, recession, money supply and unemployment) and the
monetary and fiscal policies of various governmental agencies such as the Federal Reserve Board. These limitations may have a significant
impact on the profitability of a financial institution since profitability is attributable, at least in part, to the institution&#8217;s
ability to make financial commitments such as loans. Profitability of a financial institution is largely dependent upon the availability

to sub-prime mortgages have been adversely affecting the willingness of some lenders to extend credit, in general, which may make
it more difficult for companies to obtain financing on attractive terms or at all so that they may commence or complete real estate

as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, in any particular year is a complex analysis that depends on a number
of factors. There can be no assurance that the entities in which the Fund invests with the expectation that they will be taxed
as a REIT will qualify as a REIT. An entity that fails to qualify as a REIT would be subject to a corporate level tax, would not
be entitled to a deduction for dividends paid to its shareholders and would not pass through to its shareholders the character
of income earned by the entity. If the Fund were to invest in an entity that failed to qualify as a REIT, such failure could significantly
reduce the Fund&#8217;s yield on that investment. REITs can be classified as equity REITs, mortgage REITs and hybrid REITs. Equity
REITs invest primarily in real property and earn rental income from leasing those properties. They may also realize gains or losses
from the sale of properties. Equity REITs will be affected by conditions in the real estate rental market and by changes in the
value of the properties they own. Mortgage REITs invest primarily in mortgages and similar real estate interests and receive interest
payments from the owners of the mortgaged properties. Mortgage REITs will be affected by changes in creditworthiness of borrowers
and changes in interest rates. Hybrid REITs invest both in real property and in mortgages. Equity and mortgage REITs are dependent
upon management skills, may not be diversified and are subject to the risks of financing projects.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">Distributions paid by REITs generally will
not qualify for the reduced U.S. federal income tax rates applicable to qualified dividends under the Code. See &#8220;U.S. Federal
Income Tax Matters.&#8221; Some or all of a REIT&#8217;s annual distributions to its investors may constitute a non-taxable return
of capital. Any such return of capital will generally reduce the Fund&#8217;s basis in the REIT investment, but not below zero.
To the extent the distributions from a particular REIT exceed the Fund&#8217;s basis in such REIT, the Fund will generally recognize
gain. In part because REIT distributions often include a nontaxable return of capital, Fund distributions to shareholders may also
include a nontaxable return of capital. Shareholders that receive such a distribution will also reduce their tax basis in their
shares of the Fund, but not below zero. To the extent the distribution exceeds a shareholder&#8217;s basis in the Fund&#8217;s
shares, such shareholder will generally recognize a capital gain. The Fund does not have any investment restrictions with respect

repurchases by the Fund of its shares typically will be funded from available cash or sales of portfolio securities. However, payment
for repurchased shares may require the Fund to liquidate portfolio holdings earlier than the Adviser otherwise would liquidate
such holdings, potentially resulting in losses, and may increase the Fund&#8217;s portfolio turnover. The Adviser may take measures
to attempt to avoid or minimize such potential losses and turnover, and instead of liquidating portfolio holdings, may borrow money
to finance repurchases of shares. If the Fund borrows to finance repurchases, interest on any such borrowing will negatively affect
shareholders who do not tender their shares in a repurchase offer by increasing the Fund&#8217;s expenses and reducing any net
investment income. To the extent the Fund finances repurchase proceeds by selling investments, the Fund may hold a larger proportion
of its net assets in less liquid securities. Also, the sale of securities to fund repurchases could reduce the market price of
those securities, which in turn would reduce the Fund&#8217;s NAV.</P>

of supply and demand for this type of note, interest rate and commodity market volatility, changes in the issuer&#8217;s credit
quality rating, and economic, legal, political, or geographic events that affect the referenced commodity. The credit quality of
an issuer may be influenced by unfavorable industry-related conditions in the banking or brokerage industry or by limited access
to additional capital in the case of an SPV. In addition, there may be a lag between a change in the value of the underlying reference
asset and the value of the structured note. The Fund may also be exposed to increased transaction costs when it seeks to sell such
notes in the secondary market. In the event that the issuer of the structured note defaults, it is possible that the Fund could

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">The NAV of shares of the Fund is determined
daily, as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (&#8220;NYSE&#8221;) (normally, 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time).
Each Class A and Class L share will be offered at NAV plus the applicable sales load, while each Class C and Class I share will
be offered at net asset value. During the continuous offering, the price of the shares will increase or decrease on a daily basis
according to the NAV of the shares. In computing NAV, portfolio securities of the Fund are valued at their current market values
determined on the basis of market quotations or net asset value in the case of mutual funds. If market quotations are not readily
available, as is expected to be the case for non-listed real estate securities, AIFs and non-listed MLPs, securities are valued
at fair value as determined by the Board of Trustees. The Board has delegated the day to day responsibility for determining these
fair values in accordance with the policies it has approved to the Adviser, subject to Board supervision. Fair valuation involves
subjective judgments, and it is possible that the fair value determined for a security may differ materially from the value that
could be realized upon the sale of the security. There is no single standard for determining fair value of a security. Rather,
in determining the fair value of a security for which there are no readily available market quotations, the Adviser may consider
several factors, including fundamental analytical data relating to the investment in the security, the nature and duration of any
restriction on the disposition of the security, the cost of the security at the date of purchase, the liquidity of the market for
the security and the recommendation of the Fund&#8217;s Portfolio Manager. Although the Fund will receive information from each
non-listed real estate security, AIF and non-listed MLP regarding its security prices, investment performance and investment strategy,
the Adviser may have little or no means of independently verifying this information.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">The Adviser will provide the Board of Trustees
with periodic reports, no less frequently than quarterly, that discuss the functioning of the valuation process, if applicable
to that period, and that identify issues and valuations problems that have arisen, if any. To the extent deemed necessary by the
Adviser, the Valuation Committee of the Board will review any securities valued by the Adviser in accordance with the Fund&#8217;s
valuation policies.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">Non-dollar-denominated securities, if any,
are valued as of the close of the NYSE at the closing price of such securities in their principal trading market, but may be valued
at fair value if subsequent events occurring before the computation of net asset value materially have affected the value of the
securities. Trading may take place in foreign issues held by the Fund, if any, at times when the Fund is not open for business.
As a result, the Fund&#8217;s net asset value may change at times when it is not possible to purchase or sell shares of the Fund.
The Fund uses a third party pricing service to assist it in determining the market value of securities in the Fund&#8217;s portfolio.
The Fund&#8217;s net asset value per share is calculated by dividing the value of the Fund&#8217;s total assets (the value of the
securities the Fund holds plus cash or other assets, including interest accrued but not yet received), less accrued expenses of
the Fund, less the Fund&#8217;s other liabilities by the total number of shares outstanding.</P>

of the Fund, readily marketable portfolio securities listed on the NYSE are valued, except as indicated below, at the last sale
price reflected on the consolidated tape at the close of the NYSE on the business day as of which such value is being determined.
If there has been no sale on such day, the securities are valued at the mean of the closing bid and asked prices on such day. If no bid or
asked prices are quoted on such day or if market prices may be unreliable because of events occurring after the close of trading,
then the security is valued by such method as the Board shall determine in good faith to reflect its fair market value. Readily
marketable securities not listed on the NYSE but listed on other domestic or foreign securities exchanges are valued in a like
manner. Portfolio securities traded on more than one securities exchange are valued at the last sale price on the business </P>

managed could have different investment strategies that, at times, might conflict with one another to the possible detriment of
the Fund. Alternatively, to the extent that the same investment opportunities might be desirable for more than one account, possible
conflicts could arise in determining how to allocate them. Other potential conflicts might include conflicts created by specific
portfolio manager compensation arrangements, and conflicts relating to selection of brokers or dealers to execute Fund portfolio
trades and/or specific uses of commissions from Fund portfolio trades (for example, research, or &#8220;soft dollars&#8221;, if
any). The Adviser has adopted policies and procedures and has structured its portfolio managers&#8217; compensation in a manner

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">Repurchase offers will typically be funded
from available cash or sales of portfolio securities. Payment for repurchased shares, however, may require the Fund to liquidate
portfolio holdings earlier than the Adviser otherwise would, thus increasing the Fund&#8217;s portfolio turnover and potentially
causing the Fund to realize losses. The Adviser intends to take measures to attempt to avoid or minimize such potential losses
and turnover, and instead of liquidating portfolio holdings, may borrow money to finance repurchases of shares. If the Fund borrows
to finance repurchases, interest on that borrowing will negatively affect shareholders who do not tender their shares in a repurchase
offer by increasing the Fund&#8217;s expenses and reducing any net investment income. To the extent the Fund finances repurchase
amounts by selling Fund investments, the Fund may hold a larger proportion of its assets in less liquid securities. The sale of
portfolio securities to fund repurchases also could reduce the market price of those underlying securities, which in turn would
reduce the Fund&#8217;s net asset value.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">Repurchase of the Fund&#8217;s shares will
tend to reduce the amount of outstanding shares and, depending upon the Fund&#8217;s investment performance, its net assets. A
reduction in the Fund&#8217;s net assets would increase the Fund&#8217;s expense ratio, to the extent that additional shares are
not sold and expenses otherwise remain the same (or increase). In addition, the repurchase of shares by the Fund will be a taxable
event to shareholders.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 9pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: center"><B>&nbsp;</B></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">The Fund&#8217;s distribution policy is to
make monthly distributions to shareholders. The level of monthly distributions (including any return of capital) is not fixed,
but is expected to represent an annual rate of approximately 6.00% of the Fund&#8217;s current net asset value per share. However,
this distribution policy is subject to change. Shareholders receiving periodic payments from the Fund may be under the impression
that they are receiving net profits. However, all or a portion of a distribution may consist of a return of capital. Shareholders
should not assume that the source of a distribution from the Fund is net profit. A return of capital is not taxable to a shareholder
unless it exceeds a shareholder&#8217;s tax basis in the shares. Returns of capital reduce a shareholder&#8217;s tax cost (or &#8220;tax
basis&#8221;). Once a shareholder&#8217;s tax basis is reduced to zero, any further return of capital would be taxable. Shareholders
should note that return of capital will reduce the tax basis of their shares and potentially increase the taxable gain, if any,
upon disposition of their shares. As required under the Investment Company Act of 1940, the Fund will provide a notice to shareholders
at the time of distribution when such distribution does not consist solely of net income. Additionally, each distribution payment
will be accompanied by a written statement which discloses the source or sources of each distribution. The IRS requires you to
report these amounts, excluding returns of capital, on your income tax return for the year declared. The Fund will provide disclosures,
with each distribution, that estimate the percentages of the current and year-to-date distributions that represent (1) net investment
income, (2) capital gains and (3) return of capital. At the end of the year, the Fund may be required under applicable law to re-characterize
distributions made previously during that year among (1) ordinary income, (2) capital gains and (3) return of capital for tax purposes.
An additional distribution may be made in December, and other additional distributions may be made with respect to a particular
fiscal year in order to comply with applicable law. Distributions declared in December, if paid to shareholders by the end of January,
are treated for federal income tax purposes as if received in December.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 9pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">The distribution rate may be modified by the
Board from time to time. If, for any quarterly distribution, investment company taxable income (which term includes net short-term
capital gain), if any, and net tax-exempt income, if any, is less than the amount of the distribution, then the difference will
generally be a tax-free return of capital distributed from the Fund&#8217;s assets. The Fund&#8217;s final distribution for each
calendar year will include any remaining investment company taxable income and net tax-exempt income undistributed during the year,
as well as all net capital gain realized during the year. If the total distributions made in any calendar year exceed investment
company taxable income, net tax-exempt income and net capital gain, such excess distributed amount would be treated as ordinary
income to the extent of the Fund&#8217;s current and accumulated earnings and profits. Distributions in excess of the earnings
and profits would first be a tax-free return of capital to the extent of the adjusted tax basis in the shares. After such adjusted
tax basis is reduced to zero, the distribution would constitute capital gain (assuming the shares are held as capital assets).
This distribution policy may, under certain circumstances, have certain adverse consequences to the Fund and its shareholders because
it may result in a return of capital resulting in less of a shareholder&#8217;s assets being invested in the Fund and, over time,
increase the Fund&#8217;s expense ratio. The distribution policy also may cause the Fund to sell a security at a time it would
not otherwise do so in order to manage the distribution of income and gain.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">Unless the registered owner of shares elects
to receive cash, all distributions declared on shares will be automatically reinvested in additional shares of the Fund. See &#8220;Distribution
Reinvestment Policy.&#8221;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 9pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">The distribution described above may result
in the payment of approximately the same amount or percentage to the Fund&#8217;s shareholders each month. Section 19(a) of the
1940 Act and Rule 19a-1 thereunder require the Fund to provide a written statement accompanying any such payment that adequately
discloses its source or sources. Thus, if the source of the distribution were the original capital contribution of the shareholder,
and the payment amounted to a return of capital, the Fund would be required to provide written disclosure to that effect. Nevertheless,
persons who periodically receive the payment of a distribution may be under the impression that they are receiving net profits
when they are not. Shareholders should read any written disclosure provided pursuant to Section 19(a) and Rule 19a-1 carefully
and should not assume that the source of any distribution from the Fund is net profit.</P>

extent it distributes its investment company taxable income and net capital gains (the excess of net long-term capital gains over
net short-term capital loss) in a timely manner to its shareholders in the form of dividends or capital gain distributions. The
Code imposes a 4% nondeductible excise tax on regulated investment companies, such as the Fund, to the extent they do not meet

gains (&#8220;capital gain dividends&#8221;), if any, are taxable to shareholders as capital gains, regardless of the length of
time shares have been held by shareholders. Distributions, if any, in excess of the Fund&#8217;s earnings and profits will first
reduce the adjusted tax basis of a holder&#8217;s shares and, after that basis has been reduced to zero, will constitute capital
gains to the shareholder of the Fund (assuming the shares are held as a capital asset). A corporation that owns Fund shares generally
will not be entitled to the dividends received deduction with respect to all of the distributions it receives from the Fund. Fund
distribution payments that are attributable to qualifying dividends received by the Fund from certain domestic corporations may
be designated by the Fund as being eligible for the dividends received deduction. There can be no assurance as to what portion
of Fund distribution payments may be classified as qualifying dividends. The determination of the character for U.S. federal income
tax purposes of any distribution from the Fund (i.e. ordinary income dividends, capital gains dividends, qualified dividends or
return of capital distributions) will be made as of the end of the Fund&#8217;s taxable year. Generally, no later than 60 days
after the close of its taxable year, the Fund will provide shareholders with a written notice designating the amount of any capital
gain distributions and any other distributions.</P>

established under the laws of the State of Delaware upon the filing of a Certificate of Trust with the Secretary of State of Delaware
on June 3, 2011. The Fund&#8217;s Declaration of Trust (the &#8220;Declaration of Trust&#8221;) provides that the Trustees of the
Fund may authorize separate classes of shares of beneficial interest. The Trustees have authorized an unlimited number of shares,

with the SEC, permits the Fund to issue an unlimited number of full and fractional shares of beneficial interest, no par value.
The Fund offers four different classes of shares: Class A, Class L, Class C and Class I shares. The Fund began continuously offering
its common shares on March 5, 2012. As of July 1, 2014, the Fund simultaneously redesignated its issued outstanding common shares
as Class A shares and created its Class L, Class C and Class I shares. An investment in any share class of the Fund represents
an investment in the same assets of the Fund. However, the minimum investment amounts, sales loads and ongoing fees and expenses
for each share class are different. The fees and expenses of the Fund are set forth in &#8220;Summary of Fund Expenses.&#8221;

of distributions when, as and if declared by the Board of Trustees. The Fund currently intends to make distributions to its shareholders
after payment of Fund operating expenses including interest on outstanding borrowings, if any, no less frequently than quarterly.
Unless the registered owner of shares elects to receive cash, all distributions declared on shares will be automatically reinvested
for shareholders in additional shares of the same class of the Fund. See &#8220;Distribution Reinvestment Policy.&#8221; The 1940
Act may limit the payment of distributions to the holders of shares. Each whole share shall be entitled to one vote as to matters
on which it is entitled to vote pursuant to the terms of the Declaration of Trust on file with the SEC. Upon liquidation of the Fund, after
paying or adequately providing for the payment of all liabilities of the Fund, and upon receipt of such releases, indemnities and
refunding agreements as they deem necessary for their protection, the Trustees may distribute the remaining assets of the Fund
among its shareholders. The shares are not liable to further calls or to assessment by the Fund. There are no pre-emptive rights
associated with the shares. The Declaration of Trust provides that the Fund&#8217;s shareholders are not liable for any liabilities
of the Fund. Although shareholders of an unincorporated statutory trust established under Delaware law, in certain limited circumstances,
may be held personally liable for the obligations of the Fund as though they were general partners, the provisions of the Declaration
of Trust described in the foregoing sentence make the likelihood of such personal liability remote.</P>

to an investor may be returned at any time. The Fund&#8217;s transfer agent will maintain an account for each shareholder upon
which the registration of shares are recorded, and transfers, permitted only in rare circumstances, such as death or bona fide
gift, will be reflected by bookkeeping </P>

provisions that could have the effect of limiting the ability of other entities or persons to acquire control of the Fund or to
change the composition of the Board of Trustees, and could have the effect of depriving the Fund&#8217;s shareholders of an opportunity
to sell their shares at a premium over prevailing market prices, if any, by discouraging a third party from seeking to obtain control
of the Fund. These provisions may have the effect of discouraging attempts to acquire control of the Fund, which attempts could
have the effect of increasing the expenses of the Fund and interfering with the normal operation of the Fund. The Trustees are
elected for indefinite terms and do not stand for reelection. A Trustee may be removed from office without cause only by a written
instrument signed or adopted by a majority of the remaining Trustees or by a vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the
class of shares of the Fund that are entitled to elect a Trustee and that are entitled to vote on the matter. The Declaration of
Trust does not contain any other specific inhibiting provisions that would operate only with respect to an extraordinary transaction
such as a merger, reorganization, tender offer, sale or transfer of substantially all of the Fund&#8217;s asset, or liquidation.
Reference should be made to the Declaration of Trust on file with the SEC for the full text of these provisions.</P>

17605 Wright Street, Omaha, NE 68130, serves as the Fund&#8217;s principal underwriter and acts as the distributor of the Fund&#8217;s
shares, subject to various conditions. The Distributor is compensated through retention of a portion of the sales load applied
to Fund shares. The Fund&#8217;s shares are offered for sale through the Distributor at net asset value plus the applicable sales
load. The Distributor also may enter into selected dealer agreements with other broker dealers for the sale and distribution of
the Fund&#8217;s shares. The Distributor has entered into an agreement with Lucia Securities, LLC, a registered broker and affiliate
of the Adviser, under which Lucia Securities, LLC provides wholesaling services with respect to the Fund. In reliance on Rule 415,
the Fund intends to offer to sell up to $5,000,000,000 of its shares, on a continual basis, through the Distributor. No arrangement
has been made to place funds received in an escrow, trust or similar account. The Distributor is not required to sell any specific
number or dollar amount of the Fund&#8217;s shares, but will endeavor to sell the shares. Shares of the Fund will not be listed
on any national securities exchange and the Distributor will not act as a market marker in Fund shares. The Class L shares pay
to the Distributor a Distribution Fee that accrues at an annual rate equal to 0.50% of the average daily net assets attributable
to Class L shares and is payable on a quarterly basis. The Class C shares pay to the Distributor a Distribution Fee that accrues
at an annual rate equal to 0.75% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class C shares and is payable on a quarterly basis.
Class A and Class I shares are not currently subject to a Distribution Fee.</P>

advising the Fund, may pay additional compensation to brokers or dealers in connection with the sale and distribution of Fund shares
(the &#8220;Additional Compensation&#8221;). In return for the Additional Compensation, the Fund may receive certain marketing
advantages including access to a broker&#8217;s or dealer&#8217;s registered representatives, placement on a list of investment
options offered by a broker or dealer, or the ability to assist in training and educating the broker&#8217;s or dealer&#8217;s
registered representatives. The Additional Compensation may differ among brokers or dealers in amount or in the manner of calculation:
payments of Additional Compensation may be fixed dollar amounts, or based on the aggregate value of outstanding shares held by
shareholders introduced by the broker or dealer, or determined in some other manner. The receipt of Additional Compensation by
a selling broker or dealer may create potential conflicts of interest between an investor and its broker or dealer who is recommending
the Fund over other potential investments. Additionally, the Adviser or its affiliates pay a servicing fee to the Distributor and
to other selected securities dealers and other financial industry professionals for providing ongoing broker-dealer services in
respect of clients with whom they have distributed shares of the Fund. Such services may include electronic processing of client
orders, electronic fund transfers between clients and the Fund, account reconciliations with the Fund&#8217;s transfer agent, facilitation
of electronic delivery to clients of Fund documentation, monitoring client accounts for back&#45;up withholding and any other special
tax reporting obligations, maintenance of books and records with respect to the foregoing, and such other information and liaison

amount. The letter of intent does not preclude the Fund from discontinuing sales of its shares. You may include a purchase not
originally made pursuant to a letter of intent under a letter of intent entered into within 90 days of the original purchase. To
determine the applicable sales charge reduction, you also may include (1) the cost of Class A shares of the Fund which were previously
purchased at a price including a front end sales charge during the 90-day period prior to the Distributor receiving the letter
of intent, and (2) the historical cost of shares of other Funds you currently own acquired in exchange for Class A shares the Fund
purchased during that period at a price including a front-end sales charge. You may combine purchases and exchanges by family members
(limited to spouse and children, under the age of 21, living in the same household). You should retain any records necessary to
substantiate historical costs because the Fund, the transfer agent and any financial intermediaries may not maintain this information.
Shares acquired through reinvestment of distributions are not aggregated to achieve the stated investment goal.</P>

fees. Under the Distribution Plan, the Fund pays the Distributor a Distribution Fee at an annual rate of (i) 0.50% of average daily
net assets attributable to Class L shares and (ii) 0.75% of average daily net assets attributable to Class C shares. Class A and

<P STYLE="font: 12pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in"> The Fund is a continuously
offered, diversified, closed-end management investment company that is operated as an interval fund (the &quot;Fund&quot; or the
&quot;Trust&quot;). The Fund was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on June 3, 2011. The Fund's principal office is located
at Gemini Fund Services, LLC, 80 Arkay Drive, Hauppauge, NY 11788, and its telephone number is 1-631-470-2600. The investment objective
and principal investment strategies of the Fund, as well as the principal risks associated with the Fund's investment strategies,
are set forth in the Prospectus. Certain additional investment information is set forth below. The Fund may issue an unlimited
number of shares of beneficial interest. All shares of the Fund have equal rights and privileges. Each share of the Fund is entitled
to one vote on all matters as to which shares are entitled to vote. In addition, each share of the Fund is entitled to participate,
on a class-specific basis, equally with other shares (i) in distributions declared by the Fund and (ii) on liquidation to its proportionate
share of the assets remaining after satisfaction of outstanding liabilities. Shares of the Fund are fully paid, non-assessable
and fully transferable when issued and have no pre-emptive, conversion or exchange rights. Fractional shares have proportionately
the same rights, including voting rights, as are provided for a full share. </P>

<P STYLE="font: 12pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in">The Fund offers four classes
of shares: Class A shares, Class L shares, Class C shares and Class I shares. Each share class represents an interest in the same
assets of the Fund, has the same rights and is identical in all material respects except that (i) each class of shares may be subject
to different (or no) sales loads, (ii) each class of shares may bear different (or no) distribution and shareholder servicing fees;
(iii) each class of shares may have different shareholder features, such as minimum investment amounts; (iv) certain other class-specific
expenses will be borne solely by the class to which such expenses are attributable, including transfer agent fees attributable
to a specific class of shares, printing and postage expenses related to preparing and distributing materials to current shareholders
of a specific class, registration fees paid by a specific class of shares, the expenses of administrative personnel and services
required to support the shareholders of a specific class, litigation or other legal expenses relating to a class of shares, Trustees'
fees or expenses paid as a result of issues relating to a specific class of shares and accounting fees and expenses relating to
a specific class of shares and (v) each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters relating to its own distribution
arrangements. The Board of Trustees may classify and reclassify the shares of the Fund into additional classes of shares at a future
date.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 12pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; text-align: justify; margin-right: 0; margin-left: 0">The Fund&#8217;s portfolio
turnover rate is calculated by dividing the lesser of purchases or sales of portfolio securities for the fiscal year by the monthly
average of the value of the portfolio securities owned by the Fund during the fiscal year. The calculation excludes from both the
numerator and the denominator securities with maturities at the time of acquisition of one year or less. High portfolio turnover
involves correspondingly greater brokerage commissions and other transaction costs, which will be borne directly by the Fund. A
100% turnover rate would occur if all of the Fund&#8217;s portfolio securities were replaced once within a one-year period.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 12pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"> For the fiscal year ended February 28, 2017,
the Fund&#8217;s portfolio turnover rate was 13%. For the fiscal year ended February 29, 2016, the Fund&#8217;s portfolio turnover
rate was 21%. For the fiscal year ended February 28, 2015, the Fund&#8217;s portfolio turnover rate was 49%. </P>

<P STYLE="font: 12pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in">The Fund may invest in Master
Limited Partnerships (&#8220;MLPs&#8221;). An MLP is a publicly traded limited partnership or limited liability company. An investment
in MLP units involves certain risks which differ from an investment in the securities 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 exist between common unit holders and the general partner, including those
arising from incentive distribution payments. As a partnership, an MLP has no tax liability at the entity level. If, as a result
of a change in current law or a change in an MLP's business, an MLP were treated as a corporation for federal income tax purposes,
such an MLP would be obligated to pay federal income tax on its income at the corporate tax rate. If an MLP were classified as
a corporation for federal income tax purposes, the amount of cash available for distribution by the MLP would be reduced and distributions
received by investors would be taxed under federal income tax laws applicable to corporate dividends (as dividend income, return
of capital, or capital gain). Therefore, treatment of an MLP as a corporation for federal income tax purposes would result in a
reduction in the after-tax return to investors, as compared to an MLP that is not taxed as a corporation, likely causing a reduction
in the value of Fund shares.</P>

money market mutual funds, or hold cash or cash equivalents in such amounts as the Adviser deems appropriate under the circumstances.
In addition, the Fund may invest in these instruments pending allocation of its respective offering proceeds. Money market instruments
are high quality, short-term fixed-income obligations, which generally have remaining maturities of one year or less and may include
U.S. Government securities, commercial paper, certificates of deposit and banker&#8217;s acceptances issued by domestic branches
of U.S. banks that are members of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, and repurchase agreements.</P>

private funds. As such, hedge fund investors, including the Fund, do not enjoy the same shareholder protections as those afforded
by the 1940 Act. A hedge fund adviser may not fully describe the strategies that the hedge fund may employ or the risks that it
may be subject to in the hedge fund&#8217;s offering documents. A hedge fund adviser may change its investment strategy without
giving notice to the hedge fund&#8217;s investors.</P>

in a hedge fund may only be valued on a periodic basis. Such periodic valuations may be estimated or subject to future revision.
The investments held by the hedge fund may be illiquid and thus subject to valuation by the hedge fund&#8217;s adviser which may
have a conflict of interest in determining such valuation due to the asset and performance-based fees that the adviser may receive
in connection with managing the hedge fund. It is possible that certain valuation information needed for the Fund&#8217;s reports
to shareholders with respect to its investment in hedge funds may not be provided to the Fund in a timely manner, which could cause
delays in the Fund&#8217;s reports to shareholders.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 12pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in">To reduce the risk of changes
in securities prices and interest rates, the Fund may purchase securities on a forward commitment, when-issued or delayed delivery
basis. This means that delivery and payment occur a number of days after the date of the commitment to purchase. The payment obligation
and the interest rate receivable with respect to such purchases are determined when the Fund enters into the commitment, but the
Fund does not make payment until it receives delivery from the counterparty. The Fund may, if it is deemed advisable, sell the
securities after it commits to a purchase but before delivery and settlement takes place.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 12pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 12pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in">Securities purchased on
a forward commitment, when-issued or delayed delivery basis are subject to changes in value based upon the public's perception
of the creditworthiness of the issuer and changes (either real or anticipated) in the level of interest rates. Purchasing securities
on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis can present the risk that the yield available in the market when the delivery takes
place may be higher than that obtained in the transaction itself. Purchasing securities on a forward commitment, when-issued or
delayed delivery basis when the Fund is fully, or almost fully invested, results in a form of leverage and may cause greater fluctuation
in the value of the net assets of the Fund. In addition, there is a risk that securities purchased on a when-issued or delayed
delivery basis may not be delivered, and that the purchaser of securities sold by the Fund on a forward basis will not honor its
purchase obligation. In such cases, the Fund may incur a loss. The Fund will segregate liquid assets in amounts sufficient to satisfy
its when-issued, delayed delivery and forward commitments.</P>

resolution setting forth the Fund's fundamental policy that it will conduct quarterly repurchase offers (the &quot;Repurchase Offer
Policy&quot;). The Repurchase Offer Policy sets the interval between each repurchase offer at one quarter and provides that the
Fund shall conduct a repurchase offer each quarter (unless suspended or postponed in accordance with regulatory requirements).
The Repurchase Offer Policy also provides that the repurchase pricing shall occur not later than the 14<SUP>th</SUP> day after
the Repurchase Request Deadline or the next business day if the 14<SUP>th</SUP> day is not a business day. The Fund's Repurchase
Offer Policy is fundamental and cannot be changed without shareholder approval. The Fund may, for the purpose of paying for repurchased
shares, be required to liquidate portfolio holdings earlier than the Adviser would otherwise have liquidated these holdings. Such
liquidations may result in losses, and may increase the Fund's portfolio turnover.</P>

interest in the Adviser. The Board of Trustees is comprised of Mr. Lucia and four Independent Trustees. The Independent Trustees
have not selected a Lead Independent Trustee. Additionally, under certain 1940 Act governance guidelines that apply to the Trust,
the Independent Trustees will meet in executive session, at least quarterly. Under the Trust's Agreement and Declaration of Trust
and By-Laws, the Chairman of the Board/President is responsible for (a) presiding at board meetings, (b) calling special meetings
on an as-needed basis, and, more generally, in-practice (c) execution and administration of Trust policies including (i) setting
the agendas for Board meetings and (ii) providing information to Board members in advance of each Board meeting and between Board
meetings. Generally, the Trust believes it best to have a single leader who is seen by shareholders, business partners and other
stakeholders as providing strong leadership. The Trust believes that its Chairman/President together with the Audit Committee and
the full Board of Trustees, provide effective leadership that is in the best interests of the Trust and Fund shareholders because

risk management from its Chief Compliance Officer at quarterly meetings and on an ad hoc basis, when and if necessary. The Audit

a Bachelor&#8217;s degree in Business Administration from the University of Southern California and served as an Officer in the
United States Navy. Based on his years of experience in real estate-related financial matters, Mr. Frager is well qualified to
serve as a Trustee. Ira J. Miller has over 25 years of business planning and financial management experience at a variety of major
corporations spanning a broad range of industries and markets. He started and served as Managing Director, President, Chief Financial
Officer, and Treasurer of SAIC Venture Capital Corporation, a $4.0 billion investment subsidiary of Science Applications International
Corporation. Mr. Miller holds a Bachelor&#8217;s Degree in Mathematics from the University of Michigan and completed all course
requirements for a Doctor of Philosophy degree in Economics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Darlene T. DeRemer
has over 30 years of investment banking experience and has had significant experience structuring and executing strategic transactions
involving asset management businesses. Ms. DeRemer is a founding partner of Grail Partners LLC, an advisory merchant bank with
offices in several major U.S. cities that has worked on over 250 strategic transactions involving financial service providers.
Ms. DeRemer is also a Trustee of Syracuse University and serves as the Chair of the university&#8217;s Investment &amp; Endowment
Committee. Ms. DeRemer holds a Bachelor&#8217;s Degree in Finance and Marketing and an MBA from Syracuse University. The Trust
does not believe any one factor is determinative in assessing a Trustee's qualifications, but that the collective experience of
each Trustee makes them each highly qualified.</P>

that consists of three Trustees (Ira J. Miller, Darlene T. DeRemer and Mark J. Riedy, Chairman of the Audit Committee), each of
whom is not an &quot;interested person&quot; of the Trust within the meaning of the 1940 Act. The Audit Committee's responsibilities
include: (i) recommending to the Board the selection, retention or termination of the Trust's independent auditors; (ii) reviewing
with the independent auditors the scope, performance and anticipated cost of their audit; (iii) discussing with the independent
auditors certain matters relating to the Trust's financial statements, including any adjustment to such financial statements recommended
by such independent auditors, or any other results of any audit; (iv) reviewing on a periodic basis a formal written statement
from the independent auditors with respect to their independence, discussing with the independent auditors any relationships or
services disclosed in the statement that may impact the objectivity and independence of the Trust's independent auditors and recommending
that the Board take appropriate action in response thereto to satisfy itself of the auditor's independence; and (v) considering
the comments of the independent auditors and management's responses thereto with respect to the quality and adequacy of the Trust's
accounting and financial reporting policies and practices and internal controls. The Audit Committee operates pursuant to an Audit
Committee Charter. The Audit Committee is responsible for seeking and reviewing nominee candidates for consideration as Independent
Trustees as is from time to time considered necessary or appropriate. The Audit Committee generally will consider shareholder nominees
to the extent required pursuant to rules under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Audit Committee is also responsible for
reviewing and setting Independent Trustee compensation from time to time when considered necessary or appropriate. During the fiscal
period ended February 29, 2016, the Audit Committee held two meetings.</P>

Rule 17j-1 and the Ethics Codes are designed to prevent unlawful practices in connection with the purchase or sale of securities
by covered personnel (&quot;Access Persons&quot;). The Ethics Codes permit Access Persons, subject to certain restrictions, to
invest in securities, including securities that may be purchased or held by the Fund. Under the Ethics Codes, Access Persons may
engage in personal securities transactions, but are required to report their personal securities transactions for monitoring purposes.
In addition, certain Access Persons are required to obtain approval before investing in initial public offerings or private placements.
The Ethics Codes can be reviewed and copied at the SEC's Public Reference Room in Washington, D.C. Information on the operation
of the Public Reference Room may be obtained by calling the SEC at 1-202-551-8090. The codes are available on the EDGAR database

or policies by any government agency or bureau. By so qualifying, the Fund should not be subject to federal income or excise tax
on its net investment income or net capital gain, which are distributed to shareholders in accordance with the applicable timing
requirements. Net investment income and net capital gain of the Fund will be computed in accordance with Section 852 of the Code.
Net investment income is made up of dividends and interest less expenses. Net capital gain for a fiscal year is computed by taking
into account any capital loss carryforward of the Fund. Capital losses incurred after January 31, 2011 may now be carried forward
indefinitely and retain the character of the original loss. Under pre-enacted laws, capital losses could be carried forward to
offset any capital gains for eight years, and carried forward as short-term capital, irrespective of the character of the original
loss. Capital loss carry forwards are available to offset future realized capital gains. To the extent that these carry forwards
are used to offset future capital gains it is probable that the amount offset will not be distributed to shareholders.</P>

case of non-exempt shareholders who fail to furnish the investment company with their taxpayer identification numbers and with
required certifications regarding their status under the federal income tax law, or if the Fund is notified by the IRS or a broker
that withholding is required due to an incorrect TIN or a previous failure to report taxable interest or dividends. If the withholding

requires the holder of a U.S. Treasury or other fixed-income zero coupon security to accrue as income each year a portion of the
discount at which the security was purchased, even though the holder receives no interest payment in cash on the security during

(with a fixed maturity date of more than one year from the date of issuance) that may be acquired by the Fund may be treated as
debt securities that are issued originally at a discount. Generally, the amount of the original issue discount (&quot;OID&quot;)
is treated as interest income and is included in income over the term of the debt security, even though payment of that amount
is not received until a later time, usually when the debt security matures. A portion of the OID includable in income with respect
to certain high-yield corporate debt securities (including certain pay-in-kind securities) may be treated as a dividend for U.S.
federal income tax purposes.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 12pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in">The higher interest rates
of OID instruments reflect the payment deferral and increased credit risk associated with these instruments. OID instruments generally
represent a significantly higher credit risk than coupon loans. Even if the accounting conditions for income accrual are met, the
issuer of OID instruments could still default when the Fund&#8217;s collection is supposed to occur at the maturity of the obligation.
OID instruments may have unreliable valuations because their continuing accruals require ongoing judgments about the collectability
of the deferred payments and the value of any associated collateral. OID instruments create the risk that advisory fees may be
paid to the Adviser based on non-cash accruals that ultimately may not be realized. In such instances, the Adviser may not be obligated
to reimburse the Fund for such fees.</P>

of principal on, a debt security having market discount is treated as ordinary income to the extent the gain, or principal payment,
does not exceed the &quot;accrued market discount&quot; on such debt security. Market discount generally accrues in equal daily
installments. The Fund may make one or more of the elections applicable to debt securities having market discount, which could

with Release 40-11330 of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the &quot;SEC&quot;) under the Investment Company Act of 1940,

SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the 1933 Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that
a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by
a director, trustee, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding)
is asserted by such director, trustee, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant

jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the 1933 Act and will be
governed by the final adjudication of such issue.</P>

the offering of shares until the prospectus is amended if (1) subsequent to the effective date of its registration statement, the
net asset value of the Fund declines more than ten percent from its net asset value as of the effective date of the registration
statement or (2) the net asset value of the Fund increases to an amount greater than its net proceeds as stated in the prospectus.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 12pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">2. The Registrant undertakes to file, during
any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to the registration statement: (a) (i) to include
any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the 1933 Act; (ii) to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events after the effective
date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate,
represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement; and (iii) to include any material information
with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such
information in the registration statement. (b) &nbsp;For the purpose of determining any liability under the 1933 Act, each post-effective
amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered
therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. (c) The
Registrant undertakes to remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered
which remain unsold at the termination of the offering. (d) The Registrant undertakes that, for the purpose of determining liability
under the 1933 Act, if the Registrant is subject to Rule 430C, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 497(b), (c), (d) or (e) under
the 1933 Act as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A
under the 1933 Act, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after
effectiveness; <I>provided however</I>, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration
statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus
that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede
or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or
made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use. (e) The Registrant undertakes that, for the purpose of determining
liability under the 1933 Act, in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned Registrant pursuant to this registration statement,
regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such
purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned Registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will
be considered to offer or sell such securities to the purchaser: (i) any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned
Registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 497 under the 1933 Act; (ii) the portion of any advertisement
pursuant to Rule 482 under the 1933 Act relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned Registrant
or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned Registrant; and (iii) any other communication that is an offer in
the offering made by the undersigned Registrant to the purchaser.</P>

that, for the purpose of determining any liability under the 1933 Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be
