Part F of Form N-PORT was prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and in conformity with the applicable rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) related to interim filings. Part F of Form N-PORT does not include all information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. Certain footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted from this report pursuant to the rules of the SEC. For a full set of the Fund’s notes to financial statements, please refer to the Fund’s most recently filed annual or semi-annual report.
Fair Value Measurements
The Fund's investments in securities are recorded at their estimated fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received upon selling an investment or transferring a liability in an orderly transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market for the investment. A three-tier hierarchy is used to maximize the use of observable market data and minimize the use of unobservable inputs and to establish classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Observable inputs are based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Unobservable inputs are based on the best information available in the circumstances. The following is a summary of the three-tiered hierarchy of valuation input levels.
Level 1  –     Inputs are unadjusted and prices are determined using quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2  –     Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, credit spreads, etc.).
Level 3  –     Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs (including management’s assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).

  For Fund portfolio compliance purposes, the Fund’s industry classifications refer to any one or more of the industry sub-classifications used by one or more widely recognized market indexes or ratings group indexes, and/or as defined by Fund management. This definition may not apply for purposes of this report, which may combine industry sub-classifications into sectors for reporting ease.  
(1) All percentages shown in the Portfolio of Investments are based on net assets applicable to common shares unless otherwise noted.  
(2) For financial reporting purposes, the ratings disclosed are the highest of Standard & Poor’s Group (“Standard & Poor’s”), Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”) or Fitch, Inc. (“Fitch”) rating. This treatment of split-rated securities may differ from that used for other purposes, such as for Fund investment policies. Ratings below BBB by Standard & Poor’s, Baa by Moody’s or BBB by Fitch are considered to be below investment grade. Holdings designated N/R are not rated by any of these national rating agencies.  
(3) Perpetual security. Maturity date is not applicable.  
(4) Investment, or portion of investment, has been pledged to collateralize the net payment obligations for investments in derivatives and/or reverse repurchase agreements. As of the end of the reporting period, investments with a value of $243,685,351 have been pledged as collateral for reverse repurchase agreements.  
(5) Investment, or portion of investment, is hypothecated. The total value of investments hypothecated as of the end of the reporting period was $263,674,512.  
(6) Variable rate security. The rate shown is the coupon as of the end of the reporting period.  
(7) For fair value measurement disclosure purposes, investment classified as Level 2.  
(8) Contingent Capital Securities (“CoCos”) are hybrid securities with loss absorption characteristics built into the terms of the security for the benefit of the issuer. For example, the terms may specify an automatic write-down of principal or a mandatory conversion into the issuer’s common stock under certain adverse circumstances, such as the issuer’s capital ratio falling below a specified level.  
(9) Borrowings as a percentage of Total Investments is 28.2%.  
(10) The Fund may pledge up to 100% of its eligible investments (excluding any investments separately pledged as collateral for specific investments in derivatives, when applicable) in the Portfolio of Investments as collateral for borrowings. As of the end of the reporting period, investments with a value of $811,390,692 have been pledged as collateral for borrowings.  
(11) Reverse Repurchase Agreements as a percentage of Total Investments is 5.0%.  
(12) Other assets less liabilities includes the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of certain over-the-counter (“OTC”) derivatives as well as the OTC cleared and exchange-traded derivatives, when applicable.  
(13) Effective date represents the date on which both the Fund and counterparty commence interest payment accruals on each contract.  
144A Investment is exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. These investments may only be resold in transactions exempt from registration, which are normally those transactions with qualified institutional buyers.  
LIBOR London Inter-Bank Offered Rate  
N/A Not Applicable.  
Reg S Regulation S allows U.S. companies to sell securities to persons or entities located outside of the United States without registering those securities with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Specifically, Regulation S provides a safe harbor from the registration requirements of the Securities Act for the offers and sales of securities by both foreign and domestic issuers that are made outside the United States.
