Part F of Form N-PORT was prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and in conformity with the applicable rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) related to interim filings. Part F of Form N-PORT does not include all information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. Certain footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted from this report pursuant to the rules of the SEC. For a full set of the Fund’s notes to financial statements, please refer to the Fund’s most recently filed annual or semi-annual report.
Fair Value Measurements
The Fund's investments in securities are recorded at their estimated fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received upon selling an investment or transferring a liability in an orderly transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market for the investment. A three-tier hierarchy is used to maximize the use of observable market data and minimize the use of unobservable inputs and to establish classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Observable inputs are based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Unobservable inputs are based on the best information available in the circumstances. The following is a summary of the three-tiered hierarchy of valuation input levels.
Level 1  –     Inputs are unadjusted and prices are determined using quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2  –     Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, credit spreads, etc.).
Level 3  –     Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs (including management’s assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).

(2) For financial reporting purposes, the ratings disclosed are the highest of Standard & Poor’s Group (“Standard & Poor’s”), Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”) or Fitch, Inc. (“Fitch”) rating. This treatment of split-rated securities may differ from that used for other purposes, such as for Fund investment policies.

(6) Variable rate security. The rate shown is the coupon as of the end of the reporting period.  
(7) Contingent Capital Securities (“CoCos”) are hybrid securities with loss absorption characteristics built into the terms of the security for the benefit of the issuer. For example, the terms may specify an automatic write-down of principal or a mandatory conversion into the issuer’s common stock under certain adverse circumstances, such as the issuer’s capital ratio falling below a specified level.  
(8) For fair value measurement disclosure purposes, investment classified as Level 2.  
(9) A copy of the most recent financial statements for these investment companies can be obtained directly from the Securities and Exchange Commission on its website at http://www.sec.gov.

As of the end of the reporting period, investments with a value of $1,909,607,858 have been pledged as collateral for borrowings.  
(13) Reverse Repurchase Agreements as a percentage of Total Investments is 8.3%.  
(14) Other assets less liabilities includes the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of certain over-the-counter (“OTC”) derivatives as well as the OTC cleared and exchange-traded derivatives, when applicable.
