   Low developed government bond yields

   Potential for losses if interest rates rise

Low Yields Create Multiple Challenges

Over the last 30 years bonds have had large coupons offering attractive return
that has been often times enough to offset price change during periods of rising
interest rates:

                      1.The above-posted illustration demonstrates a steady decline in coupon returns for the Barclays Capital US Aggregate Bond Index
                      and a structural drop in Treasury yields over the past 30 years. With the share of Treasuries in the Barclays Capital US Aggregate
                      Bond Index never falling below 20% over the past three decades and accounting for 34.0% of the index as of December 31, 2010,
                      we believe the index’s historical total return structure is partly correlated to the declining Treasury yields. Source: Barclays Capital.
                      2.The return components (i.e total return) accounts for two categories of fixed income return: income (i.e. coupon return) and price    4
                      return. Income includes interest paid by the fixed-income investments, whereas price return represents the change in the market
                      price of the fixed income security, which, depending on market conditions, can be negative.                                   0367-NLD-3/12/2012

Important Disclosures

Mutual Funds involve risk including the possible loss of principal. Closed-end funds are subject to
investment advisory and other expenses, which will be indirectly paid by the Fund. There is a risk that
issuers and counterparties will not make payments on securities and other investments held by the
Fund, resulting in losses to the Fund. The Fund's use of derivative instruments involves risks different
from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities and other
traditional investments. Emerging market countries may have relatively unstable governments, weaker
economies, and less-developed legal systems with fewer security holder rights. The value of the Fund's
investments in fixed income securities and derivatives will fluctuate with changes in interest rates.
Currency trading risks include market risk, credit risk and country risk. Investments in foreign securities
could subject the Fund to greater risks including, currency fluctuation, economic conditions, and
different governmental and accounting standards. The Fund may invest in high yield securities, also
known as "junk bonds." High yield securities provide greater income and opportunity for gain, but entail
greater risk of loss of principal. Using derivatives to increase the Fund's combined long and short
exposure creates leverage, which can magnify the Fund's potential for gain or loss. The default rate on
underlying mortgage loans or asset loans may be higher than anticipated, potentially reducing
payments to the Fund. As a non-diversified fund, the Fund may invest more than 5% of its total assets
in the securities of one or more issuers. The Fund will incur a loss as a result of a short position if the
price of the short position instrument increases in value between the date of the short position sale and
the date on which the Fund purchases an offsetting position.

  • 4. Low Yields Create Multiple Challenges Over the last 30 years bonds have had large coupons offering attractive return that has been often times enough to offset price change during periods of rising interest rates: Past performance is not indicative of future results, which may vary. Please note that you cannot invest directly in an index. Source: Barclays Capital, Bloomberg; as of January 31, 2011 1.The above-posted illustration demonstrates a steady decline in coupon returns for the Barclays Capital US Aggregate Bond Index and a structural drop in Treasury yields over the past 30 years. With the share of Treasuries in the Barclays Capital US Aggregate Bond Index never falling below 20% over the past three decades and accounting for 34.0% of the index as of December 31, 2010, we believe the index’s historical total return structure is partly correlated to the declining Treasury yields. Source: Barclays Capital. 2.The return components (i.e total return) accounts for two categories of fixed income return: income (i.e. coupon return) and price 4 return. Income includes interest paid by the fixed-income investments, whereas price return represents the change in the market price of the fixed income security, which, depending on market conditions, can be negative. 0367-NLD-3/12/2012

  • 18. Important Disclosures Mutual Funds involve risk including the possible loss of principal. Closed-end funds are subject to investment advisory and other expenses, which will be indirectly paid by the Fund. There is a risk that issuers and counterparties will not make payments on securities and other investments held by the Fund, resulting in losses to the Fund. The Fund's use of derivative instruments involves risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities and other traditional investments. Emerging market countries may have relatively unstable governments, weaker economies, and less-developed legal systems with fewer security holder rights. The value of the Fund's investments in fixed income securities and derivatives will fluctuate with changes in interest rates. Currency trading risks include market risk, credit risk and country risk. Investments in foreign securities could subject the Fund to greater risks including, currency fluctuation, economic conditions, and different governmental and accounting standards. The Fund may invest in high yield securities, also known as "junk bonds." High yield securities provide greater income and opportunity for gain, but entail greater risk of loss of principal. Using derivatives to increase the Fund's combined long and short exposure creates leverage, which can magnify the Fund's potential for gain or loss. The default rate on underlying mortgage loans or asset loans may be higher than anticipated, potentially reducing payments to the Fund. As a non-diversified fund, the Fund may invest more than 5% of its total assets in the securities of one or more issuers. The Fund will incur a loss as a result of a short position if the price of the short position instrument increases in value between the date of the short position sale and the date on which the Fund purchases an offsetting position.

  • 19. Definitions S&P: Refers to the Standard and Poor's 500 Index which is a capitalization-weighted index of 500 stocks. The index is designed to measure performance of the broad domestic equity market. This index is used for comparative purposes only. Barclays Agg (BarCap): Refers to the Barclays Aggregate US Bond Index. The index is designed to measure performance of the broad based investment-grade, fixed rate, taxable bond market. This index is used for comparative purposes only. IEF: An Exchange Traded Fund that seeks results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the Barclays Capital U.S. 7-10 Year Treasury Bond Index. TLT: An Exchange Traded Fund that seeks results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the Barclays Capital U.S. 20+ Year Treasury Bond Index. Alpha: A risk-adjusted measure of the active return on an investment. It is a measure of the manager’s contribution to performance. A positive annual Alpha indicates the portfolio outperformed the market on a risk-adjusted basis, and a negative Alpha indicates the portfolio underperformed in relation to the market. Beta: Describes how the expected return of a stock or portfolio is correlated to the return of the financial market as a whole. A Beta greater than 1.00 indicates the portfolio is more volatile than the market, and a Beta less than 1.00 indicates the portfolio is less volatile than the market. Duration: A measure of a bonds price sensitivity to yield. It can also be described as the percentage change in price for a parallel shift in yield. Standard Deviation: Measures the degree of variation of monthly returns around the mean (average) return. The higher the volatility of the investment returns, the higher the standard deviation will be. Correlation: Measures how closely the investment tracks the market (the "market" can be defined as an index). Absolute Return: The return that an asset achieves over a certain period of time. This measure looks at the appreciation or depreciation (expressed as a percentage) that an asset - usually a stock or a mutual fund - achieves over a given period of time. Directional Trading: A strategy used by investors that open positions, either long or short, on the belief that they are able to correctly predict the movement of price in a security. Event Driven: A strategy where positions seek profits from the consummation of a given event (e.g. takeover, merger, etc). Cap Structure: A strategy that attempts to exploit a pricing inefficiency between two securities of the same company. Paris Trade: The strategy of matching a long position with a short position in two stocks of the same sector. This creates a hedge against the sector and the overall market that the two stocks are in. Opportunistic: A strategy that seeks to take advantage of short-term mispricing in securities. The information in this presentation is for informational purposes only and is not intended as an offer to buy or sell, or amount to a solicitation to buy or sell, any securities referred to herein.
