referencing EOD, or is this another new Evergreen Fund?

Not a whole lot of creativity in the new funds--many are copycatting what appears to be working in the IPO market--either tax-advantaged dividend income (usually with a kicker of DC or CC writing) and world real estate.

Evergreen Diversified Income Opportunities Fund

ERV will be a monthly payer.

As you said, doesn't look like anything "new" strategy wise.

Principal Investment Strategies

Under normal market conditions, the Fund will pursue its investment objectives by investing in a wide variety of income-producing securities selected by the Advisors to create a diversified portfolio offering attractive current income and the potential for growth of capital. The Advisor will use both a "top-down" and "bottom-up" approach in managing the Fund. The Advisor will consider global economic, financial, and political conditions in order to identify geographical or industry sectors that it believes are likely to experience favorable growth rates. The Advisor will then perform detailed analysis on specific companies, and on the securities offered by those companies - common and preferred stocks, convertible securities, debt securities - in order to construct a portfolio of companies and securities that it believes offers attractive current income and the potential for growth of capital. The Advisor will typically attempt to identify industries growing at rates above historical or anticipated long-term economic growth rates and out-of-favor industries that it believes may be positioned to experience favorable rates of growth. The Advisor looks for companies that exhibit characteristics such as, for example, market leadership, strong management, and a defensible business niche within a particular industry.



The Fund may take advantage of the full range of investments that may offer opportunities for current income and/or growth of capital. These investments will include investment grade debt securities, common and preferred stocks, and securities convertible into common and preferred stocks. The Fund will normally invest in debt securities rated below investment grade, write call and put options on securities or groups of securities and on indices, and use various other derivatives strategies. A portion of the Fund's investments in debt securities will likely include mortgage-backed securities, including collateralized mortgage obligations, and various structured products, such as CBOs and CLOs, selected by the Sub-Advisor. Allocation of the Fund's portfolio among different types of securities or other instruments will depend on the Advisor's investment outlook, including its evaluation of the potential benefits and risks of those securities and other instruments.

2. HIGHLAND EVENT DRIVEN FUND

Objective

The Fund's investment objective is to achieve total returns in various market conditions without excessive risk of capital. Total returns are a combination of income and gains.

will invest primarily in debt or equity securities of companies (both domestic and foreign)
in anticipation of significant events,such as leveraged buyouts, management buyouts, going private transactions, corporate reorganizations involving stubs, spin-offs,liquidations and recapitalizations, and arbitrage transactions, including but not limited to,capital structure arbitrage, pair trades, and merger arbitrage. The Fund may also invest in debt and equity securities of companies (both domestic and private) involved in publicly
announced mergers, takeovers, tender offers and leveraged buyouts and,to a lesser extent, in corporate reorganizations involving stubs, spin-offs and liquidations.The key determinants of the profitability of many of these transactions are the probability that the deal will close,
the length of time to closing, the likelihood that the deal price will be increased or decreased and the level of short-term interest rates. The Fund's investment objective is not fundamental and may be changed by the Fund.
