      Senior floating-rate interests (Senior Loans) often require prepayments from excess cash flows or permit the borrowers to repay at their election. The degree to which borrowers repay, whether as a contractual requirement or at their election, cannot be predicted with accuracy. As a result, the actual remaining maturity may be substantially less than the stated maturities shown. However, Senior Loans will have an expected average life of approximately two to four years. The stated interest rate represents the weighted average interest rate of all contracts within the senior loan facility and includes commitment fees on unfunded loan commitments, if any. Senior Loans typically have rates of interest which are redetermined either daily, monthly, quarterly or semi-annually by reference to a base lending rate, plus a premium. These base rates are primarily the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) and secondarily, the prime rate offered by one or more major United States banks (the “Prime Rate”) and the certificate of deposit (“CD”) rate or other base lending rates used by commercial lenders.

  Credit ratings are those of Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. and Standard & Poor’s Corporation. The credit rating of the reference debt obligation (together with the unrealized appreciation or depreciation on the swap) are a representative measure of the current payment/performance risk of the credit default swap. A lower credit rating increases the probability of the occurrence of a credit event.
**
  If the Portfolio is the seller of credit protection, the notional amount is the maximum potential amount of future payments the Portfolio could be required to make if a credit event, as defined in the credit default swap agreement, were to occur. At July 31, 2009, such maximum potential amount for all open credit default swaps in which the Portfolio is the seller was $34,615,000.
 
At July 31, 2009, the Portfolio had sufficient cash and/or securities to cover commitments under these contracts.
 
The Portfolio is subject to credit risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. The Portfolio may enter into credit default swap contracts to manage its credit risk, to gain exposure to a credit in which the Portfolio may otherwise invest, or to enhance return.
 
At July 31, 2009, the aggregate fair value of derivative instruments (not accounted for as hedging instruments under Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133) in an asset position and in a liability position and whose primary underlying risk exposure is credit risk was $1,720,796 and $111,626, respectively.
 
The Portfolio adopted FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 (FAS 157), “Fair Value Measurements”, effective November 1, 2008. FAS 157 established a three-tier hierarchy to prioritize the assumptions, referred to as inputs, used in valuation techniques to measure fair value. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized in the three broad levels listed below.
 
  •   Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
 
  •   Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
 
  •   Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including a fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
