reductions) in distributions paid by issuers, changes in actual
trust expenses and sales of securities in the portfolio. There is
no guarantee that the issuers of the securities included in the
trust will pay any distributions in the future. The Historical 12-
Month Distribution Rate of Trust Holdings is calculated by
taking the weighted average of the regular income distributions
paid by the securities included in the trust’s portfolio over the 12
months preceding the trust’s date of deposit reduced to account
for the effects of trust fees and expenses. The percentage
shown is based on a $10 unit price. This historical rate is for
illustrative purposes only and is not indicative of amounts that
will actually be distributed by the trust. Key Points to Consider
• Attractive dividend yields - As traditional banks have shied away from middle-market
lending, alternative lenders like BDCs have filled the gap. Because small- to mid-sized

Unit Investment Trusts (UITs) are sold only by prospectus. You should consider the trust’s investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses
carefully before investing. Contact your financial professional or visit Advisors Asset Management online at www.aamlive.com/uit to obtain a
prospectus, which contains this and other information about the trust. Read it carefully before you invest.
Risks and Considerations: Unit values will fluctuate with the portfolio of underlying securities and may be worth more or less than the original purchase price at
the time of redemption. There is no guarantee that the objective of the portfolio will be achieved. Additionally, the trust may terminate earlier than the specific
termination date as stated in the prospectus. Consult your tax advisor for possible tax consequences associated with this investment. An investment in this
unmanaged unit investment trust should be made with an understanding of the risks associated therewith which includes, but is not limited to:
Common Stock: An investment in common stocks should be made with an understanding of the various risks of owning common stock, including the possible
deterioration of either the financial condition of the issuers or the stock market.
Below Investment Grade Securities: Business development companies (BDCs) may invest in securities rated below “BBB” by Standard & Poor’s or “Baa” by
Moody’s, or are unrated, which should be considered speculative as these ratings indicate the quality of less than investment grade. These risk securities are
subject to greater market fluctuations and risk of loss than securities with higher investment ratings and are affected by short-term credit developments to a
greater degree.
Business Development Company Concentration: This trust is concentrated in BDCs which may magnify the potential for gains and losses on amounts invested.
This may increase the risk associated with those securities. BDCs generally depend on the ability to access capital markets, raise cash, acquire suitable investment
and monitor and administer those investments in order to maintain their status as a BDC. A failure to do so may adversely affect the value of the BDC shares and
the value of your units. BDCs often invest in securities that are not publicly traded with adversely impacts their ability to value those assets and reduces the
investments’ liquidity. BDCs are closed-end funds which tend to trade at a discount from their net asset value and are subject to risks related to factors such as the
manager’s ability to achieve a fund’s objective, market conditions affecting the fund’s investments and use of leverage. The trust and underlying BDCs have
management and operating expenses. By investing in BDCs, the trust incurs greater expenses than you would incur if you invested directly in the BDC. The
portfolio is subject to the risk that a BDC issuer may be unable to make income and/or principal payments in the future which may reduce the income the closed-
end fund (or “BDC”) pays.
Foreign Securities: BDCs may invest in securities of foreign issuers which present risks beyond those of U.S. issuers including market and political factors related
to the issuer’s foreign market, international trade conditions, less regulation, smaller or less liquid markets, increased volatility, differing accounting practices and
changes in the value of foreign currencies.
Small & Mid-Size Concentration: BDCs invest in securities issued by small and mid-size companies which are often more volatile and have lower trading volumes
than stocks of larger companies.
