The Fund may purchase or sell securities on a when-issued, delayed delivery or forward commitment basis. Such securities may include mortgage-backed securities acquired or sold in the to be announced (TBA) market and those in a dollar roll transaction. The Funds investments in mortgage-related securities include, but are not limited to, investments in stripped mortgage-backed securities such as interest-only (IO) and principal-only (PO) securities.
