DWS Dreman Value Income Edge Fund, Inc. (NYSE:DHG) is a non-diversified, closed-end investment company. The Fund's investment objective is to seek to achieve a high level of total return. The Fund pursues its investment objective through a combination of an income strategy designed to generate regular income and reduce volatility (the "Income Strategy"), and a quantitative long/short strategy designed to seek returns that are uncorrelated to the market (the "Hedge Strategy"). Its shares are listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "DHG".
Future earnings of the Fund can not be guaranteed and the Fund's dividend policy is subject to change. The amount of monthly distributions may vary depending on a number of factors. As portfolio and market conditions change, the amount of dividends could change.
Closed-end funds, unlike open-end funds, are not continuously offered. There is a one time public offering and once issued, shares of closed-end funds are sold in the open market through a stock exchange. Shares of closed-end funds frequently trade at a discount to net asset value. The price of the fund's shares is determined by a number of factors, several of which are beyond the control of the fund. Therefore, the fund cannot predict whether its shares will trade at, below or above net asset value.
Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Annualized yield is the latest monthly distribution shown as an annualized percentage of net asset value/market price at month end. Annualized yield simply measures the level of distribution and is not a complete measure of performance. Market price, annualized distribution yield, net asset value are historical and will fluctuate and do not guarantee future results
Investments in funds involve risk. Some funds have more risk than others. These include funds that allow exposure to or otherwise concentrate investments in certain sectors, geographic regions, security types, market capitalization or foreign securities (e.g., political or economic instability, which can be accentuated in emerging market countries).
This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation to buy, nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer or solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the laws of such state or jurisdiction.
