Investing in securities of MLPs involve risks that differ from investments in common stock, including among other risks related to limited control and limited rights to vote on matters affecting MLPs, potential conflicts of interest risk, cash flow risks, dilution risks and trading risks. Concentration in the energy sector may present more risks than if the Fund were more boradly diversified over numerous sectors of the economy.
