Annualized dividend yield is the most recent monthly dividend expressed as an annualized percentage of net asset value/market price at month-end. On August 22, 2008, the fund announced its monthly dividend per share of $0.05. See the corresponding press release for more information. The fund has adopted the policy to pay common shareholders a stable monthly distribution. In an effort to maintain a stable distribution amount, the fund may pay distributions consisting of net investment income, realized capital gains and paid-in-capital. There is no assurance that the fund will always be able to pay distributions of a particular size, or that a distribution will consist solely of net investment income and realized capital gains. These data are provided for informational purposes only. All information on the performance of the fund is historical, and, in some cases, based on a short operating period when the fund may not be fully invested, pursuant to its prospectus guidelines. Therefore, its short-term performance may be significantly different than how the fund will perform over longer periods.
The fund invests a significant portion of its assets in securities issued by real estate companies, including Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs). As described in the fund's prospectus, after calendar year-end, real estate companies often recharacterize the nature of the distributions they paid during that year, frequently with the result that distributions previously identified as income are recharacterized as a return of capital and/or capital gain. After definitive information has been provided to the fund, shareholders will receive a Form 1099-DIV, which will reflect the actual amount of income dividends, capital gain distributions and return of capital, as well as the amounts that are taxable in the prior calendar year and reportable on shareholders' federal and other income tax returns.
Shares of closed-end funds, unlike open-end funds, are not continually offered. There is an initial public offering, and, once issued, common shares of closed-end funds are traded in the open market on a stock exchange.
Performance data quoted above is historical. Past performance is not a guarantee of future results. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data quoted. Total return assumes reinvestment of dividend and capital gain distributions. Principal value and investment return will fluctuate so that your shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost.
"DCA at NAV" reflects changes in net asset value per share and is not an indication of the performance of a shareholder's investment in the fund based on market price.
The MSCI U.S. REIT Index is an unmanaged index of REIT securities of reasonable size and liquidity, weighted by market capitalization and considered representative of U.S. equity REIT performance.
The Wachovia Hybrid & Preferred Securities REIT Index is a capitalization weighted unmanaged index of exchange listed perpetual REIT preferred stocks and depository shares. The index is compiled by Wachovia Capital Markets, LLC and calculated by the American Stock Exchange. The fund expects to invest in securities not included in this index, such as debt securities which may have lower returns than preferred stock, and common stock and non-U.S. securities which may be riskier than U.S. preferred stock. This index also includes securities in which the fund will not invest.
The Lehman Brothers CMBS High-Yield Index is an unmanaged index of non-investment-grade and unrated CMBS, weighted by market value and comprised of all new issue U.S. CMBS transactions that have a maturity greater than one year, an original transaction size in excess of $500 million, and aggregate outstanding transaction size of at least $300 million, and is considered representative of the high-yield CMBS market. The index is used in comparison to the fund because the fund invests in commercial mortgage-backed securities. Investors cannot invest directly into any index.
