RIVUS BOND FUND SHAREHOLDER LETTER – 03/31/07

April 10, 2007

TO THE SHAREHOLDER:

After reaching historically narrow spreads earlier in the year, global credit spreads sold off in late February and early March and closed the quarter at slightly wider levels. The spike in volatility first started on February 27th, when the international equity markets had a noticeable re-pricing, sparked by China announcing efforts to curb excess speculation. The Dow industrials traded down over 400 points that day. The “fear trade” was not limited to the equity markets as the ten-year Treasury yield plummeted lower by 0.32 percent in February and reached a low of 4.49% during March. Another meaningful event from the quarter was provided by the Federal Open Markets Committee (“FOMC”). The Fed tellingly changed their inflation rhetoric during the March 21st meeting. The simple replacement of “inflation risks remain” with the statement that inflation still is a “predominant policy concern” signaled a perceived end to the tightening cycle. A subsequent review of the Fed’s meeting minutes in April revealed that officials agreed that tighter credit may “prove necessary” and that the risk had increased that inflation wouldn’t slow as the Fed had forecast, thus adding to uncertainty in the market. The Fed Funds rate remains at 5.25%, which is where it has been since June 29, 2006.

Aside from the increased volatility and uncertainty around the Fed, the first quarter saw the continuation of a series of idiosyncratic events and a pronounced deterioration in the U.S. housing market. Both these factors have had an impact on investment grade fixed income returns this year. Credit risk premiums (spreads) have trended modestly higher on the increase in Leveraged Buyout (“LBO”) activity. One recent study showed that, on-average, spreads have widened by 252 bps subsequent to an LBO of a company. On the housing front, the turmoil in the sub-prime mortgage sector has led to a meaningful spread widening among credits that are closely tied to the U.S. housing market such as homebuilders, mortgage lenders, brokers, and forest products companies. Looking ahead, we continue to view LBO-related event risk and further deterioration in housing as key variables for spreads and the direction of the economy.

For the quarter ended March 31, 2007, the Rivus Bond Fund (the “Fund”) had a Net Asset Value of $20.01 per share. This represents a 1.88% increase from $19.64 per share at December 29, 2006. On March 30, 2007, the Fund’s closing price on the New York Stock Exchange was $18.30 per share, representing a 8.54% discount to Net Asset Value per share, compared with 9.06% discount as of December 29, 2006.

One of the primary objectives of the Fund is to maintain its high level of income. On March 14, 2007 the Board of Trustees declared a dividend payment of $0.2875 per share payable May 2, 2007 to shareholders of record on April 5, 2007. The dividend was unchanged from the prior quarter and has been for the last 9 quarters. On an annualized basis, including the pending dividend, the Fund has paid a total of $1.15 per share in dividends, representing a 6.25% Dividend Yield based on the market price on April 10, 2007 of $18.41 per share.

Another primary objective of the Fund is to deliver a competitive total return. The table below compares the performance of the Fund to the Lehman Investment Grade Credit Index benchmark:

The Fund’s performance for the historical periods was negatively impacted by the 4.5% dilution of net asset value resulting from the rights offering during the December 2003 quarter. The returns for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 were strong, driven by modestly lower interest rates, and positive price performance for many of our High Yield positions, offset by modestly wider spreads in investment grade bonds. The Fund’s duration is 5.86 years as of March 31, 2007, up from 5.83 years as of December 31, 2006 and modestly below the duration of the benchmark.

Oil prices remained high relative to historical levels, ending the quarter at $65.87 per barrel and rose from the recent low of $50.48 reached on January 18, 2007. Although the price of oil increased meaningfully during the quarter, it remains below the record high of $77.03 reached on July 14, 2006. The long term trend is still upward considering oil prices remain significantly higher than the five year average price of $46.28 per barrel. Employment growth in the U.S. continued in the quarter, albeit at a slower pace, and for the last twelve months approximately 1.96 million new non-farm jobs were added. The unemployment rate at quarter end was 4.4%, down 0.3% from March 2006, and down significantly from the current cyclical high of 6.3% as of June 2003.

The Fund’s performance will continue to be subject to the impact of trends in longer term interest rates as was the case in the last few quarters. The Fund’s performance also remains sensitive to trends in relative yield spreads on corporate bonds due to the concentration in corporate bonds. Event risk was a major concern in the market throughout 2006 and remains a key concern in 2007. We continue to add diversity to the portfolio to reduce the impact from name specific event risk without jeopardizing the income in the portfolio. The pie chart on the next page summarizes the portfolio quality of the Fund’s invested assets as of March 31, 2007:

Please refer to the Schedule of Investments in the financial statements for details concerning portfolio holdings.

We would like to remind shareholders of the opportunities presented by the Fund’s dividend reinvestment plan as detailed in the Fund’s prospectus and referred to in the Shareholder Information section of this report. The dividend reinvestment plan affords shareholders a price advantage by allowing the purchase of shares at the lower of NAV or market price. This means that the reinvestment is at market price when the Fund is trading at a discount to Net Asset Value or at Net Asset Value per share when market trading is at a premium to that value. To participate in the plan, please contact PFPC Inc., the Fund’s Transfer Agent and Dividend Paying Agent, at 1-800-331-1710. The Fund’s Investment Adviser, MBIA Capital Management Corp., may be reached at 914-765-3272.

Sincerely,

Clifford D. Corso
President

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

TO THE SHAREHOLDERS AND BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF THE RIVUS BOND FUND

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of the Rivus Bond Fund, formerly known as 1838 Bond-Debenture Trading Fund, including the schedule of investments, as of March 31, 2007, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of March 31, 2007 by correspondence with the custodian. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Rivus Bond Fund as of March 31, 2007, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Dividends and distributions, if any, are assumed for purposes of this calculation to be reinvested at prices obtained under the Fund’s dividend reinvestment plan. Total investment return does not reflect brokerage commissions. The total investment return, if for less than a full year, is not annualized. Past performance is not a guarantee of future results.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1 — Significant Accounting Policies — The Rivus Bond Fund (the “Fund”), (formerly the 1838 Bond-Debenture Trading Fund), a Delaware statutory trust, is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a diversified closed-end, management investment company. Effective July 7, 2006, the 1838 Bond-Debenture Trading Fund, a Delaware corporation, merged with and into the Rivus Bond Fund, a Delaware statutory trust. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund in preparation of its financial statements. The policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles within the United States of America (“GAAP”).

A.	Security Valuation — In valuing the Fund’s net assets, all securities for which representative market quotations are available will be valued at the last quoted sales price on the security’s principal exchange on the day of valuation. If there are no sales of the relevant security on such day, the security will be valued at the bid price at the time of computation. Prices for securities traded in the over-the-counter market, including listed debt and preferred securities, whose primary market is believed to be over-the-counter, normally are supplied by independent pricing services. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available will be valued at their respective fair values as determined in good faith by, or under procedures established by the Board of Trustees. At March 31, 2007, Penn Central Corp. was valued using fair value procedures and represented 1.79% of net assets.
B.	Determination of Gains or Losses on Sale of Securities — Gains or losses on the sale of securities are calculated for financial reporting purposes and for federal tax purposes using the identified cost basis. The identified cost basis for financial reporting purposes differs from that used for federal tax purposes in that the amortized cost of the securities sold is used for financial reporting purposes and the original cost of the securities sold is used for federal tax purposes, except for those instances where tax regulations require the use of amortized cost.
C.	Federal Income Taxes — It is the Fund’s policy to continue to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of its taxable income to its shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.
D.	Other — Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Interest income is accrued daily. Premiums and discounts are amortized using the interest method. Paydown gains and losses on mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities are presented as an adjustment to interest income. Dividend income and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
E.	Distributions to Shareholders and Book/Tax Differences — Distributions of net investment income will be made quarterly. Distributions of any net realized capital gains will be made annually. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments for amortization of market premium and accretion of market discount. In order to reflect permanent book/tax differences that occurred during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007, the following capital accounts were adjusted for the following amounts:

Undistributed		Accumulated
(Overdistributed)		Net Realized			Paid-In
Net Investment Income		Gain/(Loss)			Capital
$	163,103	$	(163,103	)	$	—

Distributions during the fiscal years ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 were characterized as follows for tax purposes:

	Ordinary Income		Return of Capital		Capital Gain		Total Distribution
FY 2007	$	5,643,838	$	—	$	—	$	5,643,838
FY 2006	$	5,643,830	$	—	$	—	$	5,643,830

12

At March 31, 2007, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:

		Accumulated		Capital Loss			Post-October		Net Realized
Total*		Ordinary Income		Carryforward			Loss		Appreciation
$	1,314,058	$	54,650	$	(2,529,682	)	$	—	$	3,789,090

*  Temporary differences include book amortization and deferral of post-October losses, if any, which will be recognized for the tax year ending March 31, 2008.

As of March 31, 2007, the capital loss carryovers available to offset possible future capital gains were as follows:

Amount		Expiration Date
$	956,105		2010
	1,393,195		2011
	47,236		2013
	133,146		2015

At March 31, 2007, the following table shows for federal tax purposes the aggregate cost of investments, the net unrealized appreciation of those investments, the aggregate gross unrealized appreciation of all securities with an excess of market value over tax cost and the aggregate gross unrealized depreciation of all securities with an excess of tax cost over market value:

Aggregate		Net Unrealized		Gross Unrealized		Gross Unrealized
Tax Cost		Appreciation		Appreciation		(Depreciation)
$	92,817,449	$	3,789,090	$	4,689,519	$	(900,429	)

The difference between book basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation is attributable primarily to the differing treatments for amortization of market premium and accretion of market discount.

F.  Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that may affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Note 2 — Portfolio Transactions — The following is a summary of the security transactions, other than short-term investments, for the year ended March 31, 2007:

	Cost of		Proceeds from Sales
	Purchases		or Maturities
U.S. Government Securities	$	—	$	—
Other Investment Securities	$	24,647,266	$	24,393,300

Note 3 — Capital Stock — At March 31, 2007, there were 10,000,000 shares of capital stock ($1.00 par value) authorized, with 4,907,678 shares issued and outstanding.

Note 4 — Investment Advisory Contract and Payments to Affiliated Persons — MBIA Capital Management Corp. (“MBIA-CMC”) serves as investment adviser to the Fund. MBIA-CMC is entitled to a fee at the annual rate of 0.50% on the first $100 million of the Fund’s month end net assets and 0.40% on the Fund’s month-end net assets in excess of $100 million.

PFPC Inc., a member of PNC Financial Services Group, provides accounting and administrative services to the Fund and is compensated for these services by Investment Adviser.

Certain officers of the Fund are also directors, officers and/or employees of Investment Adviser. None of the Fund’s officers receive compensation from the Fund.

13

Note 5 — Dividend and Distribution Reinvestment — In accordance with the terms of the Automatic Dividend Investment Plan (the “Plan”), for shareholders who so elect, dividends and distributions are made in the form of previously unissued Fund shares at the net asset value if on the Friday preceding the payment date (the “Valuation Date”) the closing New York Stock Exchange price per share, plus the brokerage commissions applicable to one such share equals or exceeds the net asset value per share. However, if the net asset value is less than 95% of the market price on the Valuation Date, the shares issued will be valued at 95% of the market price. If the net asset value per share exceeds market price plus commissions, the dividend or distribution proceeds are used to purchase Fund shares on the open market for participants in the Plan. During the year ended March 31, 2007, the Fund issued no shares under this Plan.

Note 6 — Rights Offering — On December 3, 2003 the Fund completed its transferable rights offering. In accordance with the terms of the rights offering described in the Fund’s prospectus an additional 1,234,420 shares were issued at a subscription price of $18.77 per share, making the gross proceeds raised by the offering $23,170,063, before offering-related expenses. Dealer/managers fees of $868,877 and offering costs of approximately $417,993 were deducted from the gross proceeds making the net proceeds available for investment by the Fund $21,883,193. The dilution impact of the offering was $0.97 per share or 4.49% of the $21.58 net asset value per share on December 3, 2003, the expiration and pricing date of the offering.

Note 7 — New Accounting Pronouncements — In July 2006, Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an interpretation of FASB Statement 109 (“FIN 48”) was issued and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. FIN 48 set forth a threshold for financial statement recognition, measurement and disclosure of a tax position taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. Management is currently evaluating the impact, if any, the adoption of FIN 48 will have on the Fund’s net assets and results of operations.

In addition, in September 2006, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAC 157”) was issued and is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of SFAS 157 will have on the Fund’s financial statement disclosures.

QUARTERLY STATEMENT OF INVESTMENTS

The Fund files a complete statement of investments with the Security and Exchange Commission for the first and third quarters for each fiscal year on Form N-Q. Shareholders may view the filed Form N-Q by visiting the Commission’s website at www.sec.gov. The filed form may also be viewed and copied at the Commission’s Public Reference Room in Washington, D.C. Information regarding the operations of the Public Reference Room may be obtained by calling (800) SEC-0330.

DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT PLAN

The Fund has established a plan for the automatic investment of dividends and distributions pursuant to which dividends and capital gain distributions to shareholders will be paid in or reinvested in additional shares of the Fund. All shareholders of record are eligible to join the Plan. PFPC Inc. acts as the agent (the “Agent”) for participants under the Plan.

Shareholders whose shares are registered in their own names may elect to participate in the Plan by completing an authorization form and returning it to the Agent. Shareholders whose shares are held in the name of a broker or nominee should contact such broker or nominee to determine whether or how they may participate in the Plan.

Dividends and distributions are reinvested under the Plan as follows. If the market price per share on the Friday before the payment date for the dividend or distribution (the “Valuation Date”), plus the brokerage commissions applicable to one such share, equals or exceeds the net asset value per share on that date, the Fund will issue new shares to participants valued at the net asset value or, if the net asset value is less than 95% of the market price on the Valuation Date, then valued at 95% of the market price. If net asset value per share on the Valuation Date exceeds the market price per share on that date, plus the brokerage commissions applicable to one such share, the Agent will buy shares on the open market, on the New York Stock Exchange, for the participants’ accounts. If before the Agent has completed its purchases, the market price exceeds the net asset value of shares, the average per share purchase price paid by the Agent may exceed the net asset value of shares, resulting in the acquisition of fewer shares than if the dividend or distribution has been paid in shares issued by the Fund at net asset value.

There is no charge to participants for reinvesting dividends or distributions payable in either shares or cash. The Agent’s fees for handling of reinvestment of such dividends and distributions will be paid by the Fund. There will be no brokerage charges with respect to shares issued directly by the Fund as a result of dividends or distributions payable either in shares or cash. However, each participant will be charged by the Agent a pro rata share of brokerage commissions incurred with respect to Agent’s open market purchases in connection with the reinvestment of dividends or distributions payable only in cash.

For purposes of determining the number of shares to be distributed under the Plan, the net asset value is computed on the Valuation Date and compared to the market value of such shares on such date. The Plan may be terminated by a participant by delivery of written notice of termination to the Agent at the address shown below. Upon termination, the Agent will cause a certificate or certificates for the full shares held for a participant under the Plan and a check for any fractional shares to be delivered to the former participant.

16

Distributions of investment company taxable income that are invested in additional shares generally are taxable to shareholders as ordinary income. A capital gain distribution that is reinvested in shares is taxable to shareholders as long-term capital gain, regardless of the length of time a shareholder has held the shares or whether such gain was realized by the Fund before the shareholder acquired such shares and was reflected in the price paid for the shares.

PROXY VOTING POLICY

MBIA CAPITAL MANAGEMENT CORP.

Introduction

     This Proxy Voting Policy (“Policy”) for MBIA Capital Management Corp. (“MBIA-CMC”) reflects our duty as a fiduciary under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (the “Advisers Act”) to vote proxies in the best interests of our clients. In addition, the Department of Labor views the fiduciary act of managing ERISA plan assets to include the voting of proxies. Proxy voting decisions must be made solely in the best interests of the pension plan’s participants and beneficiaries. The Department of Labor has interpreted this requirement as prohibiting a fiduciary from subordinating the retirement income interests of participants and beneficiaries to unrelated objectives. The guidelines in this Policy have been formulated to ensure decision-making consistent with these fiduciary responsibilities.

     Any general or specific proxy voting guidelines provided by an advisory client or its designated agent in writing will supercede the specific guidelines in this Policy. MBIA-CMC will disclose to our advisory clients information about this Policy as well as disclose to our clients how they may obtain information on how we voted their proxies. Additionally, MBIA will maintain proxy voting records for our advisory clients consistent with the Advisers Act. For those of our clients that are registered investment companies, MBIA-CMC will disclose this Policy to the shareholders of such funds and make filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission and make available to fund shareholders the specific proxy votes that we cast in shareholder meetings of issuers of portfolio securities in accordance with the rules and regulations under the Investment Company Act of 1940.

     Registered investment companies that are advised by MBIA-CMC as well as certain of our advisory clients^: may participate in securities lending programs, which may reduce or eliminate the amount of shares eligible for voting by MBIA-CMC in accordance with this Policy if such shares are out on loan and cannot be recalled in time for the vote.

     Implicit in the initial decision to retain or invest in the security of a corporation is approval of its existing corporate ownership structure, its management, and its operations. Accordingly, proxy, proposals that would change the existing status of a corporation will be reviewed carefully and supported only y when it seems clear that the proposed changes are likely to benefit the corporation and its shareholders. Notwithstanding this favorable predisposition, management will be assessed on an ongoing basis both in terms of its business capability and its dedication to the shareholders to ensure that, our continued confidence remains warranted. If it is determined that management is acting on its own behalf instead of for the well being of the corporation, we will vote to support shareholder proposals, unless other mitigating circumstances are present.

     Additionally, situations may arise that involve an actual or-perceived conflict of interest. For example, we may manage- assets of a pension plan of a company whose management is soliciting proxies, or a MBIA-CMC employee may have a close relative who serves as a director or executive of a company that is soliciting proxies. In all cases, the manner in which we vote proxies must be based on our clients’ best interests and not the product of the conflict.

     This Policy and its attendant recommendations attempt to generalize a complex subject. It should be clearly understood that specific fact situations, including differing voting practices in jurisdictions outside the United States, might warrant departure from these guidelines. In such instances, the relevant facts will be considered, and if a vote contrary to these guidelines is indicated it will be cast and the reasons therefore recorded in writing.

     The provisions of this Policy will be deemed applicable to decisions similar to voting proxies, such as tendering of securities, voting consents to corporate actions, and solicitations with respect to fixed income securities, where MBIA may exercise voting authority on behalf of clients.

     Section I of the Policy describes proxy proposals that may be characterized as routine and lists examples of the types of proposals we would typically support. Section II of the Policy describes various types of non-routine proposals and provides general voting guidelines. These non-routine proposals are categorized as those involving:

A. Social Issues,

B. Financial/Corporate Issues, and

C. Shareholder Rights.

     Finally, Section III of the Policy describes the procedures to be followed casting: a vote pursuant to these guidelines.

SECTION I

ROUTINE MATTERS

          Routine proxy proposals, amendments, or resolutions are typically proposed by management and meet the following criteria:

1.	They do not measurably change the structure, management control, or operation of the corporation.
2.	They are consistent with industry standards as well as the corporate laws of the state of incorporation.

Voting Recommendation

MBIA-CMC will normally support the following routine proposals:

1.	To increase authorized common shares.
2.	To -increase authorized preferred shares as long as there are not disproportionate voting rights per preferred share.
3.	To elect or re-elect Trustees.
4	To appoint or elect auditors.
5.	To approve indemnification of Trustees and limitation of Trustees’ liability.
6.	To establish compensation levels.
7.	To establish employee stock purchase or ownership plans.
8.	To set time and location of annual meeting.

SECTION II

NON-ROUTINE PROPOSALS

A. Social Issues

Proposals in this category involve issues of social conscience. They are typically proposed by shareholders who believe that the corporation’s internally adopted policies are ill advised or misguided.

Voting Recommendation

If we have determined that management is generally socially responsible, we will generally vote against the following shareholder proposals:

1.	To enforce restrictive energy policies.
2.	To place arbitrary restrictions on military contracting.
3,	To bar or place arbitrary restrictions on trade with other countries.
4.	To restrict the marketing of controversial products.
5.	To limit corporate political activities.
6.	‘To bar or restrict charitable contributions.
7.	To enforce a general policy regarding human rights based on arbitrary parameters.
8.	To enforce a general policy regarding employment practices based -on arbitrary parameters.
9.	To enforce a general policy regarding animal rights based on arbitrary parameters.
10.	To place arbitrary restrictions on environmental practices.

B. Financial/Corporate Issues

     Proposals in this category are usually offered by management and seek to change a corporation’s legal, business or financial structure.

Voting, Recommendation

We will generally vote in favor of the following management proposals provided the position of current shareholders is preserved or enhanced:

1.	To change the state of incorporation.
2.	To approve mergers, acquisitions or dissolution.
3.	To institute indenture changes.
4.	To change capitalization.

C. Shareholder Rights

     Proposals in this category are made regularly both by management and shareholders. They can be generalized as involving issues that transfer or realign board or shareholder voting power.

     We typically would oppose any proposal aimed solely at thwarting potential takeover offers by requiring, for example, super-majority approval. At the same time, we believe stability and continuity promote profitability. The guidelines in this area seek to find a middle road, and they are no more than guidelines. Individual proposals may have to be carefully assessed in the context of their particular circumstances.

Voting Recommendation

We will generally vote for; he following management proposals:

1.	To require majority approval of shareholders in acquisitions of a controlling share in the corporation.
2.	To institute staggered board of Trustees.
3.	To, require shareholder approval of not more than 66 70% for a proposed amendment to the corporation’s by-laws.
4.	To eliminate cumulative voting.

5.	To adopt anti-greenmail charter or by-law amendments or to otherwise restrict a company’s ability to make greenmail payments.
6.	To create a dividend reinvestment program.
7.	To eliminate preemptive rights.
8.	To eliminate any other plan or procedure designed primarily to discourage a takeover or other similar action (commonly known as a “poison pill”).

We will generally vote against the following management proposals:

1.	To require greater than 66 2/3% shareholder approval for a proposed amendment to the corporation’s by-laws (“super-majority provisions”).
2.	To require that an arbitrary fair price be offered to all shareholders that is derived from a fixed formula (“fair price amendments”).
3.	To authorize a new class of common stock or preferred stock which may have more votes per share than the existing common stock.
4.	To prohibit replacement of existing members of the board of Trustees.
5.	To eliminate shareholder action by written consent without a shareholder meeting.
6.	To allow only the board of Trustees to call a shareholder meeting or to propose amendments to the articles of incorporation.
7.	To implement any other action or procedure designed primarily to discourage a takeover or other similar action (commonly known. as a “poison pill”).
8.	To limit the ability of shareholders to nominate Trustees.

We will generally vote for the following shareholder proposals:

1.	To rescind share purchases rights or require that they be submitted for shareholder approval, but only if the vote required for approval is not more than 66 2/3%.
2.	To opt out of state anti-takeover laws deemed to be detrimental to the shareholder.
3.	To change the state of incorporation for companies operating under the umbrella of anti-shareholder state corporation laws if another state is chosen with favorable laws in this and other areas.

4.	To eliminate any other plan or procedure designed primarily to discourage a takeover or other similar action.
5.	To permit shareholders to participate in formulating management’s proxy and the opportunity to discuss and evaluate management’s director nominees, and/or to nominate shareholder nominees to the board

8.	To create a dividend reinvestment program.
9.	To recommend that votes to “abstain” not be considered votes “cast” at an annual meeting or special meeting, unless required by state, law.
10.	To require that “golden parachutes” be submitted for shareholder ratification.

We will generally vote against the following shareholder proposals:

1.	To restore preemptive rights.
2,	To restore cumulative voting.
3.	To require annual election of Trustees or to specify tenure.
4.	To eliminate a staggered board of Trustees.
5.	To require confidential voting.
6.	To require Trustees to own a minimum amount of company stock in order to qualify as a director or to remain on the board.
7.	To dock director pay for failing to attend board meetings.

SECTION III

VOTING PROCESS

     MBIA-CMC will designate a portfolio manager (the Proxy Voting Portfolio Manager), who is responsible for voting proxies for all advisory accounts and who will generally vote proxies in accordance with these guidelines. In circumstances in which 1) the subject matter of the vote is not covered by these guidelines, 2) a material conflict of interest is present or, 3) we believe it may be necessary, in the best interests of shareholders, to vote contrary to our general guidelines, the Proxy Voting Portfolio Manager will discuss the matter with the President and Chief Investment Officer of MBIA-CMC, who will be responsible for making the definitive determination as to how the proxy matter will be voted. The President/Chief investment officer may consult with the General Counsel, the CCO, or other investment personnel in making this determination.

Any questions regarding this Policy may be directed to the General Counsel of MBIA-CMC.
