•Fair Value Measurements - Various inputs are used in determining the fair
value of investments and derivative financial instruments. These inputs
are summarized in three broad levels for financial reporting purposes as
follows:
•Level 1 — price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical
assets and liabilities
•Level 2 — other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted
prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted
prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not
active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the
assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities,
prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or
other market-corroborated inputs)
•Level 3 — unobservable inputs based on the best information available
in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available
(including the Fund's own assumptions used in determining the fair
value of investments and derivative financial instruments)
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily
an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. For
information about the Fund's policy regarding valuation of investments and
derivative financial instruments and other significant accounting policies,
please refer to the Fund’s most recent financial statements as contained in
its semi-annual report.
The following tables summarize the inputs used as of March 31, 2011 in

•Fair Value Measurements - Various inputs are used in determining the fair
value of investments and derivative financial instruments. These inputs
are summarized in three broad levels for financial reporting purposes as
follows:
•Level 1 — price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical
assets and liabilities
•Level 2 — other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted
prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted
prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not
active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the
assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities,
prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or
other market-corroborated inputs)
•Level 3 — unobservable inputs based on the best information available
in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available
(including the Fund's own assumptions used in determining the fair
value of investments and derivative financial instruments)
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities and derivative
financial instruments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated
with investing in those securities. For information about the Fund's policy
regarding valuation of investments and derivative financial instruments and
other significant accounting policies, please refer to the Fund’s most recent
financial statements as contained in its semi-annual report.
The following tables summarize the inputs used as of March 31, 2011 in
determining the fair valuation of the Fund's investments and derivative
financial instruments:

•Fair Value Measurements - Various inputs are used in determining the fair value
of investments and derivative financial instruments. These inputs are
summarized in three broad levels for financial reporting purposes as follows:
•Level 1 — price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical assets
and liabilities
•Level 2 — other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices
for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for
identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs
other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such
as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities,
credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs)
•Level 3 — unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the
circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the
Fund's own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments and
derivative financial instruments)
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities and derivatives are not
necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
For information about the Fund's policy regarding valuation of investments and
derivative financial instruments and other significant accounting policies, please
refer to the Fund’s most recent financial statements as contained in its semi-
annual report.
The following tables summarize the inputs used as of March 31, 2011 in
determining the fair valuation of the Fund's investments and derivative financial

•Fair Value Measurements - Various inputs are used in determining the fair
value of investments. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels
for financial reporting purposes as follows:
•Level 1 — price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical
assets and liabilities
•Level 2 — other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted
prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted
prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not
active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the
assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities,
prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or
other market-corroborated inputs)
•Level 3 — unobservable inputs based on the best information available
in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available
(including the Fund's own assumptions used 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 investing in those securities. For
information about the Fund's policy regarding valuation of investments and
other significant accounting policies, please refer to the Fund’s most recent
financial statements as contained in its semi-annual report.
The following table summarizes the inputs used as of March 31, 2011 in
determining the fair valuation of the Fund's investments:
