*The Fund's portfolio investments are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value, in accordance with Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940. The amortized cost method of valuation involves valuing portfolio securities at their cost and thereafter assuming a constant amortization to maturity of any discount or premium.
The Fund's use of amortized cost is subject to its compliance with certain conditions as specified by Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act. The Fund continues to meet the requirements of Rule 2a-7 that permit it to utilize amortized cost to value its securities.
Investments in structured securities (such as those issued by Structured Investment Vehicles, or SIVs) which are collateralized by residential real estate mortgages are subject to certain credit and liquidity risks. When market conditions result in an increase in default rates of the underlying mortgages and the foreclosure values of underlying real estate properties are materially below the outstanding amount of these underlying mortgages, collection of the full amount of accrued interest and principal on these investments may be doubtful. Such market conditions may significantly impair the value of these investments resulting in a lack of correlation between their credit ratings and values.
Please note that the fair value of the Fund's securities may be different than the amortized cost value that is reported in the Schedule of Investments above.
Portfolio holdings are subject to change at any time without notice. This information is provided for information purposes only and should not be construed as a recommendation to purchase or sell any security.
