The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by (1) investing in a portfolio of U.S. equity securities designed to track the performance, before fees and expenses, of the NASDAQ-100 Index (the Index) or U.S.-listed exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that seek to track the performance of the Index, or both, and (2) utilizing an options-based income strategy implemented through equity-linked notes (ELNs) with exposure to either the Index or ETFs tracking the Index. The Fund may also hold a substantial portion of its assets in cash or cash equivalents, including treasury bills and money market funds in an effort to maintain high liquidity and to provide additional downside protection by limiting the Fund's exposure to equity market risk. The Fund is designed to generate income while providing some downside protection in the event of broad equity market downturns and also providing some equity market upside participation exposure to the Index.
