Key Financial Metrics
The filing text does not provide a clear value for revenue, profit, cash flow, margins, debt, or liquidity. This report focuses on a governance and operational change rather than financial performance results.
Material Changes
The Board of Trustees approved the immediate removal of a non-fundamental investment disclosure guideline. This guideline previously governed:
- The amount of leverage the Fund could maintain.
- Related asset segregation requirements.
- Related coverage requirements.
The Board determined these specific guidelines are no longer applicable to the Fund. The Fund remains subject to other applicable leverage limitations under Section 18 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 and related rules.
Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
The filing does not contain forward-looking guidance, management commentary on market outlook, or new risk factors beyond the regulatory context of the leverage guideline removal. A Prospectus Supplement dated December 22, 2022, detailing this change is attached as Exhibit 99.1.
Investor Verification Checklist

- Confirm the Fund's current leverage position against the remaining limitations under Section 18 of the Investment Company Act of 1940.
- Verify that the removal of the non-fundamental guideline does not alter the Fund's fundamental investment strategy or risk profile as described in the main prospectus.
