  Up to 15% of the fund's net assets may be allocated to restricted securities, which are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933 and may not be sold in public offerings. These investments can include private placements or other securities with selling restrictions. Despite their less liquid nature, these securities are selected for their potential to provide higher returns compared to publicly traded securities, thereby offering an avenue for enhanced portfolio performance.
