(together with its affiliates “Highland”), is pleased to announce that Jim Dondero, Co-Founder and President of Highland Capital Management, has been named Senior Portfolio Manager of the firm's Energy MLP Fund.

Mr. Dondero joins Jon Poglitsch, CFA and Matthew Gray, CFA as lead managers of the fund. Mr. Dondero, Mr. Poglitsch and Mr. Gray will be responsible for all of the investment decisions of the fund.
