(1)  Statement on Financial Accounting Standard No. 157 "Fair Value Measurements" - Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund's investments.

       These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed 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 following is a summary of the inputs used as of September 30, 2022 in valuing the Fund's assets carried at fair value:

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. For example, short-term

debt instruments and repurchase agreements with a maturity of less than 60 days are valued using amortized cost, in accordance with rules under the Investment

Company Act of 1940. Generally, amortized cost approximates the current fair value of a security, but since the value is not obtained from a quoted price in an active

market, such securities are reflected as Level 2.
