Disclosure of fair value measurements

The fund classifies its assets and liabilities into three levels based on the method used to value the assets or liabilities as required by the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 (“FAS 157”), Fair Value Measurements.Level 1 values are based on quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. Level 2 values are based on significant observable market inputs, such as quoted prices for similar securities and quoted prices in inactive markets. Level 3 values are based on significant unobservable inputs that reflect the fund’s determination of assumptions that market participants might reasonably use in valuing the securities. The valuation levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with the underlying investment. For example, U.S. government securities are generally high-quality and liquid; however, they are reflected as Level 2 because the inputs used to determine fair value may not always be quoted prices in an active market.The following table presents the fund’s valuation levels as of March 31, 2009 (dollars in thousands):

	Investment securities
Level 1 — Quoted prices	$	24,056,387
Level 2 — Other significant observable inputs		6,910,438	*
Level 3 — Significant unobservable inputs		—
Total	$	30,966,825
*Includes certain securities trading outside the U.S. whose values were adjusted as a result of significant market movements following the close of local trading; therefore, $4,017,391,000 of investment securities were classified as Level 2 instead of Level 1.

Federal income tax information	(dollars in thousands)
Gross unrealized appreciation on investment securities	$	2,542,712
Gross unrealized depreciation on investment securities		(9,592,549	)
Net unrealized depreciation on investment securities		(7,049,837	)
Cost of investment securities for federal income tax purposes		38,016,662
