The Fund is not subject to any restrictions with respect to the maturity of Senior Loans held in its portfolio, and Senior Loans usually will have rates of interest that are redetermined either daily, monthly, quarterly, semi-annually or annually. The following sentence replaces the first sentence in its entirety in each Fund's prospectus under the heading "How the Fund Invests--Borrower Credit Ratings." The Fund may invest in the lowest rated loans, but does not intend to invest more than 10% of its assets in Senior Loans rated below CCC by S&P or Moody's (and unrated Senior Loans considered by the Adviser to be of comparable quality). INVESTORS SHOULD RETAIN THIS SUPPLEMENT WITH THE PROSPECTUS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
