Its common shares trade on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol PCF, while the Fund's portfolio value is measured through net asset value, or NAV.

Its governance record includes annual and special shareholder meetings, proxy materials, proposals affecting the Fund's governing documents, and shareholder voting matters.
