Past performance does not guarantee future results. The NAV results are calculated using the Fund’s Net Asset Value per share, and assumes reinvestment of all distributions. NAV performance data shown reflects the deduction of the Fund’s operating expenses, which include (but are not limited to): management fees, professional services, and custodian and administration fees.

The Fund’s benchmark index is the MSCI World Index/MSCI ACWI (Linked), an unmanaged index created by the Fund’s investment manager which links the performance of the MSCI World Index until September 1, 2016 (when the Fund’s investment strategy changed) and the MSCI ACWI beginning September 1, 2016.

Beta is a relative measure of the sensitivity of a fund's return to changes in the benchmark's return. The beta of the fund versus its benchmark is the amount (and direction) the fund has historically moved when the benchmark moved by one unit.

Standard deviation measures the dispersion or "spread" of individual observations around their mean. Standard deviation of returns measures a fund's historical volatility, where a higher number is evidence of greater volatility (i.e., higher risk).

Effective Duration is a measure of the sensitivity of a fund’s value to changes in interest rates and accounts for any option features embedded in the fund’s holdings.

Effective Maturity is a measure of the average expected maturity of a fund’s holdings and accounts for actual maturities as well as expected early redemptions.

Unless otherwise noted, characteristics are trailing 12 months.

Dividend yield (%) is calculated by dividing dividends paid by the Fund’s current holdings over the trailing 12 months by the Fund’s NAV.

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. An investment in the Fund involves risk, including the risk of loss.

An investor may not purchase shares directly from the Fund. Shares are listed on the New York Stock Exchange (ticker symbol “LGI”). An investment in shares of the Fund involves risks, including the risk of loss of the amount you may invest. Interested investors should contact their broker or financial advisor for additional information.

Understanding Investment Risk

Prices and rates will fluctuate with changes in market conditions. Distributions are subject to recharacterization for tax purposes after the end of the fiscal year. If the Fund pays distributions in excess of its net investment income, this excess could be a return of capital.

Investment and Market Risk. An investment in the Fund’s Common Stock is subject to investment risk, including the possible loss of the entire principal amount invested. An investment in Common Stock represents an indirect investment in the Fund’s portfolio investments. Their value, like other market investments, may move up or down, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably.

The Fund’s Common Stock, at any point in time, may be worth less than the amount originally invested, even after taking into account the reinvestment of Fund dividends and distributions. The Fund’s investment strategy includes purchasing investments that have embedded financial leverage, such as forward currency contracts, which magnifies the risk that you may lose money.

Leverage Risk. Using leverage is a speculative investment technique and involves certain risks. These include higher volatility of net asset value, the likelihood of more volatility in the market value of Common Stock and the possibility either that the Fund’s return will fall if the interest rate on any borrowings rises, or that income will fluctuate because the interest rate of borrowings varies. If the market value of the Fund’s portfolio declines, the leverage will result in a greater decrease in net asset value than if the Fund were not leveraged. Such greater net asset value decrease also will tend to cause a greater decline in the market price for Common Stock.

Non-U.S. and Emerging Markets Investments Risk. The Fund may invest in securities of non-U.S. issuers operating in developed countries. These investments involve special risks, including the following: less publicly available information about non-U.S. issuers or markets because of less rigorous disclosure or accounting standards or regulatory practices; many non-U.S. markets are smaller, less liquid and more volatile; the economies of non-U.S. countries may grow at slower rates than expected or may experience a downturn or recession; and the impact of economic, political, social or diplomatic events.

The Fund may also invest in emerging markets securities. Particular risks include: smaller market capitalization of securities markets; significant price volatility; restrictions on foreign investment; and possible seizure of a company’s assets. In addition, foreign investors may be required to register the proceeds of sales. Future economic or political crises could lead to price controls, forced mergers, expropriation or confiscatory taxation, seizure, nationalization, or creation of government monopolies, all of which may affect currencies adversely.

Investing in sovereign debt securities will expose the Fund to the direct or indirect consequences of political, social or economic changes in the emerging market countries that issue the securities. Many of these countries are also characterized by political uncertainty or instability. The ability and willingness of sovereign obligors in emerging market countries or the governmental authorities that control repayment of their debt to pay principal and interest on such debt when due may depend on general economic and political conditions within the relevant country. Countries in which the Fund intends to invest have historically experienced, and may continue to experience, high rates of inflation, high interest rates, exchange rate fluctuations, trade difficulties and extreme poverty and unemployment.

The market values of corporate debt securities are sensitive to individual corporate developments and changes in economic conditions. Emerging market issuers may be highly leveraged and may not have more traditional methods of financing available to them. Therefore, their ability to service their debt obligations during an economic downturn or during sustained periods of rising interest rates may be impaired, resulting in a higher risk of default.

Currency Risks. An investment in Common Stock, as measured in U.S. dollars, may change significantly when the values of the emerging market local currencies change relative to the U.S. dollar, thereby subjecting investors to currency risks. The currencies of emerging market countries may experience significant declines against the U.S. dollar, and significant devaluation may occur subsequent to investments in these currencies by the Fund. Other risks include the dependence on the Investment Manager’s ability to predict movements in exchange rates and imperfect correlations between movements in exchange rates. The Fund may use currency hedging transactions which might result in a poorer overall performance for the Fund than if the Fund had not engaged in any hedging transactions.

Currency Investments could be adversely affected by delays in, or a refusal to grant, repatriation of funds or conversion of emerging market currencies. Forward currency contracts are highly volatile, and a relatively small price movement in a forward currency contract may result in substantial losses to the Fund.

Forward Currency Contract. A contract for the purchase or sale from a counterparty of a specified currency at a specified future date. Such contracts may involve the purchase or sale of the local currency against the U.S. dollar or may involve the local currency and another developed market base currency.

Net Asset Value Per Share. An expression for net asset value that represents a fund's (mutual, exchange-traded, and closed-end) or a company's value per share. The Fund’s Net Asset Value Per Share is calculated by dividing its total net asset value by the number of shares outstanding.

Total Leveraged Assets. The Fund's Net Assets, increased by financial leverage employed by the Fund, which is (1) the amount the Fund has drawn from its available line of credit and (2) the notional value of forward currency contracts the Fund enters into.

Leveraged Percentage. The Fund’s financial leverage as a percentage of the total of its Total Leveraged Assets.
