The Company is a closed-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 ( 1940 Act ). Our comments are set forth below.

Where no change will be made in the filing in response to a comment, please indicate this fact in the letter to us and briefly state the basis for your position. You should review and comply with all applicable requirements of the federal securities laws in connection with the preparation and distribution of preliminary prospectuses.
