The Fund's investment objectives are to provide stockholders with a high level of income, with a secondary goal of capital appreciation.
Investment Strategy
The Fund will pursue its investment objectives principally through a two-part strategy. First, the Fund, in seeking to match approximately the performance of the Russell 2000
® Index (the "Index"), will invest in a statistically selected sample of stocks included in the Index and/or other investments that have economic characteristics similar to the securities that comprise the Index, which may include futures swap and option contracts based on the Index, as well as other investment funds with a composition similar to that of the Index. Second, the Fund will write (sell) call options on the Index or on exchange-traded funds ("ETFs") which seek to track the performance of the Index (collectively, "Written Options") with respect to some or all of the values of its assets.
