Business Wire (Thu, 18-Apr 1:15 PM ET)
The Fund's investment objective is high current income for holders of its Common Stock consistent with preservation of capital. Flaherty & Crumrine Incorporated, the Fund's investment adviser (the "Adviser"), intends to pursue strategies that it expects generally to result in the Fund's income increasing in response to significant increases in long-term interest rates while being relatively resistant to the impact of declines in long-term interest rates. This strategy involves hedging strategies. In seeking its objectives, the Fund normally will invest at least 80% of its total assets in a diversified portfolio of preferred securities, some or all of which are expected to be hedged. The Fund may also invest up to 20% of its total assets in debt securities and up to 15% of its total assets in common stocks. The portions of the Fund's assets invested in various types of preferred, debt or common stock may vary from time to time depending on market conditions. The portion of securities that the Fund will hedge, as well as the types of hedge positions utilized, may also vary significantly from time to time. At time of purchase, at least 75% of the securities that the Fund will acquire will be rated investment grade by any one of Moody's Investors Services, Inc. ("Moody's") or Standard & Poor's Corporation ("S&P"), or Fitch Ratings Group ("Fitch"). In addition, the Fund may invest up to 25% of its assets at the time of purchase in securities rated below investment grade by all of Moody's, S&P and Fitch, as long (a) such securities are rated at least "Ba3" by Moody's, "BB-" by S&P, or "BB-" by Fitch or (b) such securities are issued by an issuer having an outstanding class of senior debt rated investment grade at the time of purchase. Thus, the Fund may invest in securities rated below "Ba3" by Moody's, "BB-" by S&P and "BB-" by Fitch if the issuer has investment grade senior debt outstanding.
