The Wells Fargo Advantage Income Opportunities Fund is a
closed-end high-yield bond fund. The fund’s investment objective is to
seek a high level of current income. The fund may, as a secondary
objective, seek capital appreciation to the extent it is consistent with
its investment objective.
The Wells Fargo Advantage Multi-Sector Income Fund is a
closed-end bond fund. The fund’s primary investment objective is to seek
a high level of current income consistent with limiting its overall
exposure to domestic interest-rate risk.
The Wells Fargo Advantage Utilities and High Income Fund is a
closed-end equity and high-yield bond fund. The fund’s primary
investment objective is to seek a high level of current income and
moderate capital growth with an emphasis on providing tax-advantaged
dividend income.
The final determination of the source of all distributions is subject to
change and is made after year-end. Each fund will send shareholders a
Form 1099-DIV for the calendar year that will tell shareholders how to
report these distributions for federal income tax purposes.
These closed-end funds are no longer offered as an initial public
offering, and shares are only offered through broker/dealers on the
secondary market. Unlike an open-end mutual fund, a closed-end fund
offers a fixed number of shares for sale. After the initial public
offering, shares are bought and sold in the secondary marketplace, and
the market price of the shares is determined by supply and demand, not
by net asset value (NAV), and is often lower than the NAV. A closed-end
fund is not required to buy its shares back from investors upon request.
High-yield, lower-rated bonds may contain more risk due to the increased
possibility of default. Foreign investments may contain more risk due to
the inherent risks associated with changing political climates, foreign
market instability, and foreign currency fluctuations. Risks of
international investing are magnified in emerging or developing markets.
Funds that concentrate their investments in a single industry or sector
may face increased risk of price fluctuation over more diversified funds
due to adverse developments within that industry or sector.
Nondiversified funds may face increased risk of price fluctuation over
more diversified funds due to adverse developments within certain
sectors. Small- and mid-cap securities may be subject to special risks
associated with narrower product lines and limited financial resources
compared with their large-cap counterparts. The use of leverage results
in certain risks, including, among others, the likelihood of greater
volatility of NAV and the market price of common shares. Derivatives
involve additional risks, including interest-rate risk, credit risk, the
risk of improper valuation, and the risk of noncorrelation to the
relevant instruments they are designed to hedge or to closely track.
There are numerous risks associated with transactions in options on
securities. Illiquid securities may be subject to wide fluctuations in
market value and may be difficult to sell.
