A.

Securities Valuation:

 

Securities Valuation - The Fund’s investments are valued bases on the last reported sales price on the day of valuation. When reliable market quotations are not readily available for any security, the value of that security will be based on its “fair value” by the committee (“Pricing Committee”) established by the Fund’s Procedures for Determining Net Asset Value. The members of the Pricing Committee are appointed by, and the Pricing Committee reports directly to, the Fund’s Board of Trustees. The fair valuation process is designed to value the subject security at the price the Fund would resonably expect to receive upon its current sale. Fair value pricing may be employed, for example, if the value of a security held by the Fund has been materially affected by an event that occurs after the close of the market in which the security is traded, in the event of a trading halt in a security for which market quotations are normally available or with respect to securities that are deemed illiquid. When this fair value pricing method is employed, the prices of securities used in the daily computation of the Fund’s NAV per share may differ from quoted or published prices for the same securities. Additionally, security valuations determined in accordance with the fair value pricing method may not fluctuate on a daily basis, as would likely occur in the case of securities for which market quotations are readily available. Consequently, changes in the fair valuation of portfolio securities may be less frequent and of greater magnitude than changes in the price of portfolio securities valued based on market quotations. As of September 30, 2009, there was no securities being fair valued.

 

Fair Value Measurements — The inputs and valuations techniques used to measure fair value of the Fund’s net assets are summarized into three levels as described in the hierarchy below:

 

·                  Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

·                  Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)

·                  Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

 

The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investingin those securities. Summary of inputs used to value the Fund’s net assets as of September 30, 2009 is as follows:
