   What is a Closed-End Fund (CEF)?


"Despite the name similarities, a closed-end fund has little in common with a conventional mutual fund, which is technically known as an open-end fund.

The former raises a prescribed amount of capital only once through an IPO by issuing a fixed number of shares, which are purchased by investors in the closed-end fund as stock. Unlike regular stocks, closed-end fund stock represents an interest in a specialized portfolio of securities that is actively managed by an investment advisor and which typically concentrates on a specific industry, geographic market, or sector. The stock prices of a closed-end fund fluctuate according to market forces (supply and demand) as well as the changing values of the securities in the fund's holdings".

         About Alpine Total Dynamic Dividend Fund   (NYSE- AOD)

 
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE
The Alpine Total Dynamic Dividend Fund's primary investment objective is high current dividend income.The Fund also focuses on long-term growth of capital as its secondary investment objective.

INVESTMENT STRATEGY
The Fund seeks to achieve these goals by employing a research-driven approach to identifying companies globally with the potential for dividend increases and capital appreciation.The Fund expects to invest at least 80% of its net assets plus amounts borrowed for investment purposes in the equity securities of domestic and foreign companies that pay dividends. The Fund seeks to provide dividend income without regard to whether the dividends qualify for the reduced federal income tax rates applicable to qualified dividends under the Internal Revenue Code.

DISCLOSUES AND WARNINGS:
Mutual fund investing involves risk. Principal loss is possible. The Fund may include equity-linked securities and various other derivative instruments, which can be illiquid, may disproportionately increase losses, and have a potentially large impact on Fund performance. Leverage may magnify gains or increase losses in the Fund's portfolio. Investing in small and mid-cap stocks involves additional risks such as limited liquidity and greater volatility as compared to large cap stocks. The Fund invests in foreign securities which involve greater volatility and political, economic and currency risks and differences in accounting methods. Diversification does not assure a profit or protect against loss in a declining market. Past performance is not a guarantee of future results. The specific market, sector or investment conditions that contribute to a Fund's performance may not be replicated in future periods. Favorable tax treatment of Fund distributions may be adversely affected, changed or repealed by future changes in tax laws. Alpine may not be able to anticipate the level of dividends that companies will pay in any given time frame.

Risk of dividend reduction may be high with AOD in this moderator's  (bar1080) opinion. I don't own AOD and I recommend not buying it. Material on this page is for informational purposes only.
