Reaching for Yield Intelligently


Fixed Income Strategy

Investment Themes
We have updated our Fixed Income Model Portfolios to reflect our current opinion of the market place and our specific security recommendations. Please see page 4 for links to the Model Portfolios or contact your Financial Advisor for further information. On February 21, 2013, we made a change to our Asset Class High Yield Portfolio. Please click on the link on page 4 for more details on the change or contact your Financial Advisor. TIPS have taken the top spot as the worst-performing asset class to start the year, posting a return of -1.54%, followed by emerging markets with a -1.05% return; High Yield generated the best return over the same time period of 1.41%. While the Treasury Index is only down -0.70% the devil still lies in the details, in our opinion. Looking deeper at the returns, the long end of the Treasury curve, more specifically the 10 & 30 year, are down -1.98% & -5.13%, respectively. In our opinion, investors in long duration, risk-free securities may want to revisit their holdings. While spreads on the HY Index are still historically above the tights of 240bps in 2007, the yield-to-worst continues to sit below 6.00% at 5.82%. Currently, 72% of the Citigroup High Yield Market Index is callable/puttable, which makes price appreciation very challenging due to the negative convexity of the asset class. With a callable bond, as interest rates fall, the incentive for the issuer to call the bond at par increases; therefore, its price will not rise as quickly as the price of a non-callable bond. Due to this call constraint, prices could re-route high yield buyers into other asset classes such as equities, in our view. High Grade spreads continue to be range-bound to start 2013. Currently, the spread on the IG Index is 135 with the index trading between 131 and 135. The two worst-performing IG sectors year to date are Publishing -2.66% and Telecommunications, -2.37%, while the two best-performing sectors are Securities, 1.18%, and Building products, 0.60%.

OUR VIEWS FROM THE BLEACHERS


Treasurys - We believe interest rate volatility will continue in 2013 with sovereign debt and policy concerns driving interest rate movements more than the U.S. economic recovery. For investors looking to invest in U.S. Treasuries, we recommend a laddered maturity approach moving out on the curve with 3-, 5-, 7-, and 10-year maturities, rather than being pinned down to low-yielding, shorter-dated securities. Investment Grade - While the search for yield may be tempting, we would not recommend investors drop down in credit quality to reach for higher yields. In this uncertain market, we believe return of capital should be viewed as paramount versus return on capital given the low-yielding interest rate environment. For moderate investors, we continue to see better value in BBBs versus A- and AA-rated non-financials. Preferred - In our opinion, the preferred market place will continue to attract money from investors looking for yield in high credit quality securities, and until we see long-term interest rates moving higher, investors will likely continue to feel comfortable holding these long-duration securities. However, we remind investors that the upward price movement in this asset class could come under pressure if a sell-off were to ensue, though our base case is for preferreds to continue to benefit from investors seeking high current yield with investment grade credit ratings in this challenging, low-yield environment. Moreover, we would be cautious on purchasing new issue preferred syndicate deals with low coupon(i.e., below 6%) in a potentially rising interest rate environment. High Yield - We continue to see a disconnect when looking at BBB and BB rated issuers. While only dropping a few notches in credit quality, investors can pick up significant yield or spread by investing in high BB rated bonds. We have been of the opinion that the biggest contributor to high yield market returns in 2013 will be the clipping of coupons and credit selection. We continue to recommend securities in the 2- to 7-year range for aggressive investors.

FIXED INCOME STRATEGY / FEBRUARY 22, 2013

Fixed Income Model Portfolio Mission Statement


The goal of the fixed income model portfolios is to provide investment guidance for investors in the fixed income markets. The models are divided into two types: multi-asset class portfolios and single-asset class portfolios.

Multi-Asset Class Portfolios


These model portfolios are actively monitored with the aim of producing a combination of income and total return. The models typically spread bond maturities over time to lessen the impact of interest rate changes on the value of the underlying bonds. Individual security selection is based on the credit and macroeconomic research done by the Fixed Income Strategy Group (FISG) using the resources of MSSBs Global Investment Committee (GIC), Morgan Stanley, Citigroup and outside providers. Implementing asset allocation and security selection, the portfolios aim to outperform their designated benchmark indices. The number of holdings will generally range from a minimum of 20 up to 30 securities. We will have a maximum allocation per credit issuer of 5% of the par amount of the portfolio. We believe that actively monitored model portfolios can help investors who are looking for ongoing guidance in their fixed income investments. The FISG will select securities based on the outlook for interest rates and the yield curve, as well as issuer credit and risk profile. Each portfolio has an allocation to T-Bills. We may use the T-Bill allocation to add securities to the portfolios as opportunities arise in the market. Principal payments from maturing, called, or tendered securities will either be allocated to T-Bills or used to purchase new securities for the portfolios. Interest payments will not be reinvested. We will remove securities from the portfolios if, in our view, they are at risk of significant price declines due to either interest rate or credit risk. We may also remove securities if, in our view, they become fully valued and offer little upside relative to the risk. When we remove a security from a model portfolio we may either reinvest the proceeds into another security or add the proceeds to our TBill allocation. Due to the over-the-counter nature of the bond market, the portfolios and all securities added to the portfolios will be priced on the offer side of the market using Bloombergs Generic Pricing service. All securities sold from the portfolios will be priced on the bid side of the market. We have three multi-asset class portfolios with various risk tolerances: Conservative: The Conservative Portfolio is for investors who are primarily looking for income and principal preservation, with a lower level of risk. The portfolio seeks to maintain a minimum overall credit rating of Baa3/BBB- or higher by Moodys and Standard & Poors (S&P) and may invest in securities including, but not limited to, U.S. Treasuries, government-related enterprises (U.S. agencies), investment grade corporate bonds, high yield corporate bonds and preferred stock/hybrid debt securities. The benchmark is the BofA Merrill Lynch US Corporate/Government Master Index. We will allocate no more than 10% of the portfolio to securities that are rated below investment grade with a minimum credit rating of Ba3/BB-. Moderate: The Moderate Portfolio is for investors who are willing to subject a portion of their principal to increased risk in order to generate a greater rate of return. The goal of this model is a combination of income and total return. The portfolio seeks to maintain a minimum overall credit rating of Baa3/BBB- or higher by Moodys and S&P and may invest in securities including, but not limited to, U.S. Treasuries, government-related enterprises (U.S. agencies), investment grade corporate bonds, high yield corporate bonds, preferred stock/hybrid debt securities, emerging market debt and international non-US dollar securities. The benchmark index is the BofA Merrill Lynch US Corporate/Government Master Index. We will allocate no more than 5% of the portfolio to securities that are rated below B3/B-. Aggressive: The Aggressive Portfolio is for investors who are willing to subject a portion of their principal to increased risk in order to generate a greater rate of return. The primary goal of this model is total return, with a secondary focus on income. This portfolio may invest in securities including, but not limited to, U.S. Treasuries, government-related enterprises (U.S. agencies), investment grade corporate bonds, high yield corporate bonds, preferred stock/hybrid debt securities, emerging market debt and international non-US dollar securities. The benchmark index is the BofA Merrill Lynch US Corporate/Government Master Index. We will allocate no more than 10% of the portfolio to securities that are rated below B3/B-.

FIXED INCOME STRATEGY / FEBRUARY 22, 2013

Single-Asset Class Portfolios


These model portfolios are actively monitored to provide investors with investment guidance in a single-asset class within the fixed income universe. There are four separate portfolios representing the following asset classes: government, investment grade corporate, high yield corporate, and preferred stock/hybrid debt securities. All securities in the multi-asset class portfolios that fit within these four single asset classes will be included in the single-asset class portfolios. The FISG may also include additional securities in the single-asset class portfolios that are not in the multi-asset class portfolios. The single-asset class portfolios are not designed to track a benchmark index. However, we will remove securities from these portfolios if, in our view, they are at risk of significant price declines due to either interest rate or credit risk. We may also remove securities if, in our view, they become fully valued and offer little upside relative to the risk. Government: This portfolio only contains government securities such as U.S. Treasuries and government-related enterprises (U.S. agencies). Investment Grade Corporate: This portfolio consists of investment grade corporate bonds. All securities in this portfolio must have a minimum rating of Baa3/BBB- or higher by Moodys and S&P. High Yield Corporate: This portfolio consists of high yield corporate bonds that are rated B3/B- or above by Moodys and S&P. We will allocate no more than 10% of the portfolio to securities that are rated below B3/B-. Preferred Stock/Hybrid Debt Securities: This portfolio may include a variety of different investment structures, including, but not limited to, perpetual preferred stock, capital trust securities, $25 par senior unsecured bonds and $1000 hybrid debt securities. Securities in this portfolio may rank anywhere from just above common equity to as high as senior, unsecured debt. All securities in this portfolio must be rated B3/B- or higher by Moodys and S&P.

Source: Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Fixed Income Strategy, as of January 31, 2013 International investing entails greater risk, as well as greater potential rewards compared to U.S. investing. These risks include political and economic uncertainties of foreign countries as well as the risk of currency fluctuations. These risks are magnified in countries with emerging markets, since these countries may have relatively unstable governments and less established markets and economies The majority of preferred securities are "callable" meaning that the issuer may retire the securities at specific prices and dates prior to maturity. Interest/dividend payments on certain preferred issues may be deferred by the issuer for periods of up to 10 years. The investor would still have income tax liability even though payments would not have been received. The initial rate on a floating rate or index-linked preferred security may be lower than that of a fixed-rate security of the same maturity.

Treasury Inflation Protection Securities (TIPS) coupon payments and underlying principal are automatically increased to compensate for inflation by tracking the consumer price index (CPI). While the real rate of return is guaranteed, TIPS tend to offer a low return. Because the return of TIPS is linked to inflation, TIPS may significantly underperform versus conventional U.S. Treasuries in times of low inflation.

The table above represents an indication of the current US Treasury Yield Curve. The yield curve depicts the relationship between bond yields and maturities. Investors should use the yield curve as a point of reference. The treasury yield curve is widely used as a benchmark for pricing many other fixed income securities. Interest income from zero coupon bonds is subject to annual taxation as ordinary income even though no interest payments will be received by the investor if held in a taxable account.

Index Definitions
Citigroup Mortgage Index - This index measures the mortgage component of the USBIG Index, comprising 30-and 15-year GNMA, FNMA, and FHLMC pass-throughs and FNMA and FHLMC balloon mortgages. Citigroup US Treasury Benchmark (On-the-Run) Indexes These indexes measure total returns for the current two-, three-, five-, seven-, ten-, and 30-year on-the-run Treasuries that have been in existence for the entire month. Citigroup US Inflation-Linked Securities Index (US-ILSI) The US-ILSI measures debentures with fixed-rate coupon payments that adjust for inflation as measured by the Consumer Price Index (CPI). This index has a minimum maturity of one year and a minimum amount outstanding of $1 billion for both entry and exit. It is separate and distinct from our Broad Investment-Grade (BIG) Bond Index and currently comprises Treasury securities. Citigroup High-Yield Market Index The index includes cash-pay, deferred-interest, and Rule 144A bonds. The bonds must have a remaining maturity of at least one year, a minimum amount outstanding of $100 million (subject to an entry criteria of $200 million per issue or $400 million per issuer), and a speculative-grade rating by both Moodys Investor Service and Standard & Poors. When an issuer misses or expects to miss an interest payment or enters Chapter 11, the bonds exit the index at month-end. The returns are adjusted for the loss of a coupon payment or accrued interest. Citigroup Global Emerging Market Sovereign Bond Index (ESBI) The index includes Brady bonds and US dollar-denominated emerging market sovereign debt issued in the global, Yankee, and Eurodollar market, excluding loans. The bonds must have a remaining maturity of at least one year, a minimum amount outstanding of $500 million, and a maximum rating of BBB+/Baa1 by S&P or Moodys. Brady bonds, restructured in accordance to the Brady Plan, of countries with no foreign debt or whose foreign debt is not rated by S&P and Moodys are included in the ESBI.

Credit Risk - The risk that the issuer might be unable to pay interest and/or principal on a timely basis. Widely recognized rating agencies, such at Moody's Investors Service and Standard & Poor's offer their assessment of an issuer's creditworthiness. U.S. Treasury securities are considered the 'safest' investment as they are backed by the 'full faith and credit' of the U.S. Government. On the other side of the scale, high yield corporate bonds are considered to have the greatest credit risk. Current Yield - Annual interest rate paid by a bond, expressed as a percentage of it's current market price. It does not reflect the total return over the life of the bond. Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) - The Dow Jones Industrial Average is a price-weighted average of 30 blue-chip stocks that are generally the leaders in their industry. It has been a widely followed indicator of the stock market since October 1, 1928. Effective Duration - An option-adjusted measure of a bond's (or portfolio's) sensitivity to changes in interest rates. The figure is calculated as the average percentage change in a bond's value (price + accrued interest) under Treasury curve shifts of +/- 100 basis points. It incorporates the effect of embedded options for corporate bonds and changes in prepayments for mortgaged-backed securities. Estimated Income Per Year - Income is derived from multiplying the coupon of each individual security within the portfolio by its par amount. This figure does not take into consideration future principal pay down or income lost from matured assets. Federal Funds Rate - The federal funds rate is the interest rate at which depository institutions lend balances at the Federal Reserve to other depository institutions overnight. Interest Rate Risk - The risk that the market value of securities might rise or fall, primarily due to changes in prevailing interest rates.

FIXED INCOME STRATEGY / FEBRUARY 22, 2013

Overnight indexed swap (OIS) - is an interest rate swap where the periodic floating rate of the swap is equal to the geometric average of an overnight index rate over every day of the payment period. The index rate is typically a central bank rate or equivalent, for example the Federal funds rate in the US. Overnight Index Swaps are instruments that allow financial institutions to swap the interest rates they are paying without having to change the terms of contracts in place with other financial institutions. The fixed rate of OIS is typically an interest rate considered less risky than the corresponding interbank rate (LIBOR), because it is based on a central bank rate and only the net difference in interest rates is paid at maturity of the swap so there is limited counterparty risk. Par Amount - Is the amount of money an investor may receive once a bond matures or is called. Perpetual Preferred Securities - A type of preferred stock that has no maturity date. Issuers of perpetual preferred stock typically will have redemption privileges on such shares. The portfolio analytics tool we use to calculate effective duration and yield to maturity defaults to a 50-year maturity for securities that are perpetual in nature. Prime Rate - The prime rate is the rate that banks use to set rates on many consumer loan products. The prime rate will move up or down in lock-step with the federal funds rate. It is the most widely quoted bank measure at which banks will also lend money to their most favored customers Secondary Market Risk - While a secondary market exists for most fixed income securities, there is no guarantee that a secondary market will exist for a particular fixed income security. Furthermore, if a security is sold prior to maturity, the price received may be more or less than face value, or the amount of the original investment. Spot Gold - Spot gold is the price in U.S. dollars for one ounce of gold bullion. Risk Tolerance - Classes include conservative, moderate and aggressive. Conservative investors are those who emphasize principal preservation over return on investment. Moderate investors are those willing to subject a portion of their principal to increased risk in order to generate a greater rate of return. Aggressive investors are those who emphasize return on investment over principal preservation. They are willing to subject a greater portion of their portfolio to risk in anticipation of a greater return on investment. US TIPS Breakeven - The difference in yield between inflation-linked bonds and conventional bonds, also known as the breakeven inflation rate (BEI), is a rough measure of inflation expectations. Breakeven inflation encompasses both the expected inflation rate and the inflation risk premium, two components of nominal yields that on their own are not always easily quantifiable. US Treasury Bill - A short-term debt obligation backed by the U.S. government with a maturity of less than one year. T-bills commonly have maturities of one month, three months, or six months. T-bills are issued through a competitive bidding process at a discount from par, which means that rather than paying fixed interest payments like conventional bonds, the appreciation of the bond provides the return to the holder. US Treasury Bond - A fixed-interest U.S. government debt security with a maturity of more than 10 years. Treasury bonds make interest payments semi-annually and interest is only taxed at the federal level. US Treasury Inflation Protected Security (TIPS) - A treasury security that is indexed to inflation. TIPS are backed by the U.S. government and their par value rises with inflation, as measured by the Consumer Price Index, while their interest rate remains fixed. Interest on TIPS is paid semiannually. US Treasury Notes - A U.S. government debt security with a fixed interest rate and a maturity between one and 10 years. Treasury notes make interest payments semi-annually and interest is only taxed at the federal level. Weighted Average Coupon - The average coupon weighed in proportion to the market value of the individual securities within the portfolio. Yield To Maturity - The yield of a bond if an investor were to buy and hold it until its maturity date. This yield factors in the purchase price, the interest one is set to receive, and the length of time to maturity. Yield To Worst - The lower of yield to maturity and yield to the date of the worst call. The lowest potential yield that can be received on a bond without the issuer actually defaulting.

Fixed Income Risk Considerations


Call Risk - Some securities may be callable. If the security is called, the investor bears the risk of reinvesting the proceeds at a lower rate of return. Credit Risk - The risk that the issuer might be unable to pay interest and/or principal on a timely basis. Widely recognized rating agencies, such as Moody's Investor Services and Standard & Poors, offer their assessment of an issuers creditworthiness. U.S. Treasury securities are considered the safest investment as they are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government. On the other end of the scale, high yield corporate bonds are considered to have the greatest credit risk. Interest Rate Risk The risk that the market value of securities might rise or fall, primarily due to changes in prevailing interest rates. All fixed income securities are susceptible to fluctuations in interest rates; generally, if interest rates rise, bond prices will fall, and vice versa. Prepayment Risk - In a CMO or MBS, the risk that an investor's principal will be returned sooner than originally expected, due to principal prepayments made by homeowners on the underlying mortgage loans. Reinvestment Risk - The risk that the income stream from the investment may be reinvested at a lower interest rate. This risk is especially evident during periods of falling interest rates where coupon payments are reinvested at a lower rate than the current instrument. Secondary Market Risk - While a secondary market exists for most fixed income securities, there is no guarantee that a secondary market will exist for a particular fixed income security. Furthermore, if a security is sold prior to maturity, the price received may be more or less than face value, or the amount of the original investment. Index data is based on index total return - Fixed income securities, including municipal bonds, are subject to certain risks including interest rate risk, credit risk, reinvestment and valuation risks. The value of fixed income securities will fluctuate and, upon a sale, may be worth more or less than their original cost or maturity value. Investing in foreign markets entails greater risks than those normally associated with domestic markets, such as political, currency, economic and market risks.

Each client should consult his/her personal tax and/or legal advisor to learn about any potential tax or other implications that may result from acting on a particular recommendation. International investing entails greater risk, as well as greater potential rewards compared to U.S. investing. These risks include political and economic uncertainties of foreign countries as well as the risk of currency fluctuations. These risks are magnified in countries with emerging markets, since these countries may have relatively unstable governments and less established markets and economies. Investing in commodities entails significant risks. Commodity prices may be affected by a variety of factors at any time, including but not limited to, (i) changes in supply and demand relationships, (ii) governmental programs and policies, (iii) national and international political and economic events, war and terrorist events, (iv) changes in interest and exchange rates, (v) trading activities in commodities and related contracts, (vi) pestilence, technological change and weather, and (vii) the price volatility of a commodity. In addition, the commodities markets are subject to temporary distortions or other disruptions due to various factors, including lack of liquidity, participation of speculators and government intervention. Bonds are subject to interest rate risk. When interest rates rise, bond prices fall; generally the longer a bond's maturity, the more sensitive it is to this risk. Bonds may also be subject to call risk, which is the risk that the issuer will redeem the debt at its option, fully or partially, before the scheduled maturity date. The market value of debt instruments may fluctuate, and proceeds from sales prior to maturity may be more or less than the amount originally invested or the maturity value due to changes in market conditions or changes in the credit quality of the issuer. Bonds are subject to the credit risk of the issuer. This is the risk that the issuer might be unable to make interest and/or principal payments on a timely basis. Bonds are also subject to reinvestment risk, which is the risk that principal and/or interest payments from a given investment may be reinvested at a lower interest rate. Bonds rated below investment grade may have speculative characteristics and present significant risks beyond those of other securities, including greater credit risk and price volatility in the secondary market. Investors should be careful to consider these risks alongside their individual circumstances, objectives and risk tolerance before investing in high-yield bonds. High yield bonds should comprise only a limited portion of a balanced portfolio. Treasury Inflation Protection Securities (TIPS) coupon payments and underlying principal are automatically increased to compensate for inflation by tracking the consumer price index (CPI). While the real rate of return is guaranteed, TIPS tend to offer a low return. Because the return of TIPS is linked to inflation, TIPS may significantly underperform versus conventional U.S. Treasuries in times of low inflation. Equity securities may fluctuate in response to news on companies, industries, market conditions and general economic environment. Asset allocation and diversification do not assure a profit or protect against loss in declining financial markets. The indices are unmanaged. An investor cannot invest directly in an index. They are shown for illustrative purposes only and do not represent the performance of any specific investment. The indices selected by Morgan Stanley Smith Barney to measure performance are representative of broad asset classes. Morgan Stanley Smith Barney retains the right to change representative indices at any time. Because of their narrow focus, sector investments tend to be more volatile than investments that diversify across many sectors and companies.

FIXED INCOME STRATEGY / FEBRUARY 22, 2013

CDs are insured by the FDIC, an independent agency of the U.S. Government, up to a maximum amount of $250,000 (including principal and interest) for all deposits held in the same insurable capacity (e.g. individual account, joint account) per CD depository, through December 31, 2013. On January 1, 2014, the maximum insurable amount will return to $100,000 (including principal and interest) for all insurable capacities except IRAs and certain self-directed retirement accounts, which will remain at $250,000 per depository. Investors are responsible for monitoring the total amount held with each CD depository. All deposits at a single depository held in the same insurable capacity will be aggregated for purposes of the applicable FDIC insurance limit, including deposits (such as bank accounts) maintained directly with the depository and CDs of the depository held through Morgan Stanley Smith Barney. A secondary market in CDs may be limited. CDs sold prior to maturity are subject to market risk and therefore investors may receive more or less than the amount invested or the face value. Callable CDs are callable at the sole discretion of the issuer. For more information about FDIC insurance, please visit the FDIC website at www.fdic.gov. Contingent return (e.g. index-linked) CDs are treated as having original issue discount (OID) for tax purposes. Although interest is not received until maturity, the CD is assumed to pay a pre-determined interest rate that will be treated as current income for tax purposes if held in a taxable account. Investors should be made aware that contingent return CDs generally feature an averaging method of return calculation, which averages the changes in value of the relevant index as measured on predetermined dates over the life of the CD. Therefore, the CDs return will not mirror the actual index value or return. If the measured index return using the averaging method is zero or negative, the investor receives no interest. Some contingent return CDs also have a participation rate (the degree to which an investor participates in the measured return of the index) that is less than 100%. Interest on contingent return CDs is not eligible for FDIC insurance before the final valuation date. Principal is returned on a monthly basis over the life of a mortgage-backed security. Principal prepayment can significantly affect the monthly income stream and the maturity of any type of MBS, including standard MBS, CMOs and Lottery Bonds. Yields and average lives are estimated based on prepayment assumptions and are subject to change based on actual prepayment of the mortgages in the underlying pools. The level of predictability of an MBS/CMOs average life, and its market price, depends on the type of MBS/CMO class purchased and interest rate movements. In general, as interest rates fall, prepayment speeds are likely to increase, thus shortening the MBS/CMOs average life and likely causing its market price to rise. Conversely, as interest rates rise, prepayment speeds are likely to decrease, thus lengthening average life and likely causing the MBS/CMOs market price to fall. Some MBS/CMOs may have original issue discount (OID). OID occurs if the MBS/CMOs original issue price is below its stated redemption price at maturity, and results in imputed interest that must be reported annually for tax purposes, resulting in a tax liability even though interest was not received. Investors are urged to consult their tax advisors for more information. Interest income from taxable zero coupon bonds is subject to annual taxation as ordinary income even though no interest payments will be received by the investor if held in a taxable account. Zero coupon bonds may also experience greater price volatility than interest bearing fixed income securities because of their comparatively longer duration. Investing in foreign emerging markets entails greater risks than those normally associated with domestic markets, such as political, currency, economic and market risks. The majority of $25 and $1000 par preferred securities are callable meaning that the issuer may retire the securities at specific prices and dates prior to maturity. Interest/dividend payments on certain preferred issues may be deferred by the issuer for periods of up to 5 to 10 years, depending on the particular issue. The investor would still have income tax liability even though payments would not have been received. Price quoted is per $25 or $1,000 share, unless otherwise specified. Current yield is calculated by multiplying the coupon by par value divided by the market price. The initial rate on a floating rate or index-linked preferred security may be lower than that of a fixed-rate security of the same maturity because investors expect to receive additional income due to future increases in the floating/linked index. However, there can be no assurance that these increases will occur. Some $25 or $1000 par preferred securities are QDI (Qualified Dividend Income) eligible. Information on QDI eligibility is obtained from third party sources. The dividend income on QDI eligible preferreds qualifies for a reduced tax rate. Many traditional dividend paying perpetual preferred securities (traditional preferreds with no maturity date) are QDI eligible. In order to qualify for the preferential tax treatment all qualifying preferred securities must be held by investors for a minimum period 91 days during a 180 day window period, beginning 90 days before the ex-dividend date. Credit ratings are subject to change.
