CUTWATER SELECT INCOME FUND SHAREHOLDER LETTER – 03/31/14

April 15, 2014

DEAR SHAREHOLDERS:

As investors have responded to quickening global growth and the accommodative monetary policies of the U.S. Federal Reserve and other central banks over the last six months, the market for risk assets has been strong. U.S. Treasury securities, on the other hand, have been somewhat volatile. Since the beginning of the year, U.S. Treasuries have rallied in response to geopolitical tensions (e.g. Russia’s annexation of Crimea and China’s modest economic slowdown) and domestic stock market volatility. As a result, the 10-year Treasury yield declined from a recent peak of 3.03 percent on December 3, 2013 down to 2.72 percent on March 31, 2014.

At its December meeting, the U.S. Federal Reserve announced an initial reduction in a key part of its accommodative monetary policy, known as Quantitative Easing (“QE”). The announcement called for a “tapering” of monthly asset purchases by $10 billion, beginning in January 2014. The new Federal Reserve Chair, Janet Yellen, has since continued the $10 billion reduction in QE at each subsequent meeting. The market now expects QE to be finished by the end of 2014. The Federal Reserve is likely to continue its accommodative policy stance, however, and has indicated it needs to see further evidence of the U.S. economy strengthening, particularly in the labor market, before it would raise the federal funds rate. It is widely believed that a rate rise is unlikely before mid-2015. Risk assets have benefited from a decline in uncertainty as Congress was able to agree on an extension of the U.S. debt ceiling and the transition to the new Federal Reserve Chair was smooth. During this period the European Central Bank maintained its stimulative monetary policies while closely monitoring the risk of deflation to determine if further policy action is needed to spur economic growth. Japan’s economy is responding positively to its Central Bank’s accommodative monetary policies as growth and inflation have increased. Financial markets in most Emerging Markets have also rebounded during the period as many central banks have raised local interest rates to address weakened currencies and inflation concerns.

We believe that global economic data are supportive of our forecast that we are in the fourth phase of our multi-year forecast: the Self-Sustaining Recovery phase. Indeed, U.S. consumers are benefiting from improving household balance sheets and the recovering job market, and consumer confidence and retail sales continue to grow. We believe the business sector will profit from more confident consumers, increased capital investment, and growing world GDP, which the IMF expects to grow 3.6 percent in 2014 (versus 3.0 percent in 2013). With China growing near 7.5 percent and the U.S. ticking upwards beyond 2.5 percent, Japan benefiting from accommodative economic policies, and Europe forecast to grow 1.6 percent, we now have over 70 percent of world GDP stable or growing. Given our belief in an improving economy, we see several implications for investors going forward. We expect interest rates to rise, reflecting real GDP growth and inflation over time. We also expect that credit spreads may compress moderately as investors continue to search for yield and corporate fundamentals are supported by an economy that continues on its checkmark-like recovery.

In the U.S. sources of economic growth are broadening, consistent with our self-sustaining recovery thesis. Fourth quarter U.S. GDP growth was 2.6 percent, down from the third quarter level due to the U.S. government shutdown during the period. We anticipate GDP growth for the first quarter of 2014 to be depressed primarily due to the severe winter weather but also anticipate a rebound during the balance of the year. Consumer confidence has improved alongside consumers’ balance sheets, reflecting elevated stock prices and recovery in home values. Income growth has been improving since the second half of 2013, reflecting the slow decline in the unemployment rate to the 6.7 percent rate at the end of the first quarter and is supportive of growth in consumer spending. Ongoing geopolitical concerns and the upcoming mid-term elections in the U.S. may contribute to future periods of market volatility.

The corporate sector continues to exhibit solid fundamentals as managements have focused on reducing costs and maintaining financial flexibility. Cash flow and earnings comparisons have generally held up well, although we have seen softness in certain sectors. Capital expenditure growth has been muted but given record high corporate cash balances, improving capacity utilization, and the need to replace older infrastructure, we believe capital expenditures will increase. Strong corporate fundamentals notwithstanding, we will remain vigilant as corporations add leverage to enhance shareholder returns at the expense of creditors. We must also watch out for debt-financed mergers and acquisitions. We closely monitor our holdings for these credit-adverse risks. On balance, we remain constructive on the corporate segment of the fixed income market, including leveraged finance, where we expect default rates to remain low. Indeed, Moody’s is forecasting that the global speculative-grade default rate will increase only slightly from 2.3 percent currently to 2.6 percent in March 2015, still substantially below the long-term average default rate.

As of March 31, 2014, the Fund had a Net Asset Value (NAV) of $21.10 per share. This represents a 3.4 percent increase from $20.40 per share at September 30, 2013. On March 31, 2014, the Fund’s closing price on the New York Stock Exchange was $19.42 per share, representing a 7.96 percent discount to NAV per share, compared with a 12.79 percent discount as of September 30, 2013. The market trading discount was at 9.23 percent as of market close on April 15, 2014.

One of the primary objectives of the Fund is to maintain a high level of income. On March 12, 2014 the Board of Trustees declared a dividend payment of $0.265 per share payable May 1, 2014 to shareholders of record on April 4, 2014. On an annualized basis, including the pending dividend, the Fund has paid a total of $1.06 per share in dividends, representing a 5.56 percent dividend yield based on the market price on April 15, 2014 of $19.07 per share. The dividend is evaluated on a quarterly basis and is based on the income generation capability of the portfolio.

The Fund’s performance for the 5- and 10-year historical periods (shown above) reflects the 4.79 percent dilution of net asset value resulting from the rights offering in the third quarter of 2009. After adjusting for the impact of the rights offerings, we estimate the 5-year annualized return to be 13.99 percent and the 10-year annualized return to be 6.92 percent. The returns noted in the table above are actual returns as calculated by BNY Mellon and Lipper and do not adjust for dilution from the rights offerings.

Despite volatility in U.S. Treasury yields, all major fixed income sectors exhibited positive returns for the six-month period ended March 31, 2014. The Fund’s returns for the period benefited from the allocations to investment grade and high yield corporate securities and select structured credit securities as spreads tightened in corporate and other non-government fixed income securities. For the six-month period ended March 31, 2014, the Fund outperformed its benchmark by 2.58 percent. We believe spreads may compress moderately from current levels but spreads are approaching cyclical tight levels.

2

Yield represents the major component of return in most fixed income portfolios. Given this Fund’s emphasis on income and the dividend, we generally will not have material exposure to low yielding U.S. Treasuries and will maintain meaningful exposure to corporate bonds. When it comes to management of credit risk, we try to look through periods of volatility to focus on an investment’s long term creditworthiness to assess whether it will provide an attractive yield to the Fund over time.

The Fund’s performance will continue to be subject to trends in long-term interest rates and to corporate yield spreads. Consistent with our investment discipline, we continue to emphasize diversification and risk management within the bounds of income stability. The pie chart below summarizes the portfolio quality of the Fund’s assets as of March 31, 2014:

We would like to remind shareholders of the opportunities presented by the Fund’s dividend reinvestment plan referred to in the Shareholder Information section of this report. The dividend reinvestment plan affords shareholders a price advantage by allowing them to purchase shares at Net Asset Value (NAV) or market price, whichever is lower. This means that the reinvestment price is at market price when the Fund is trading at a discount to Net Asset Value, as is currently the situation, or at NAV per share when market trading is at a premium to that value. To participate in the plan, please contact BNY Mellon Investment Servicing (US) Inc. the Fund’s Transfer Agent and Dividend Paying Agent, at 1-866-333-6685. The Fund’s investment adviser, Cutwater Investment Services Corp., may be reached at 866-766-3030.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Shareholders and

Board of Directors of the

Cutwater Select Income Fund

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Cutwater Select Income Fund, including the schedule of investments, as of March 31, 2014, 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, 2014 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 Cutwater Select Income Fund as of March 31, 2014, 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.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1 – Significant Accounting Policies – The Cutwater Select Income Fund (the “Fund”), a Delaware statutory trust, is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act”), as a diversified closed-end, management investment company. 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. 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, the Fund uses recognized industry pricing services – approved by the Board and unaffiliated with the Adviser - and uses broker quotes provided by market makers of securities not valued by these and other recognized pricing sources.

In the event that market quotations are not readily available, or when such quotations are deemed not to reflect current market value, the securities will be valued at their respective fair value as determined in good faith by the Adviser pursuant to certain procedures and reporting requirements established by the Board of Trustees. The Adviser considers all relevant facts that are reasonably available when determining the fair value of a security, including but not limited to the last sale price or initial purchase price (if a when issued security) and subsequently adjusting the value based on changes in company specific fundamentals, changes in an appropriate securities index, or changes in the value of similar securities which may be further adjusted for any discounts related to security-specific resale restrictions. When possible, observable market inputs such as unadjusted quoted prices of similar securities, observable interest rates, currency rates and yield curves are utilized. At March 31, 2014, there were no securities valued using fair value procedures.

Fair Value Measurements – The Fund has adopted authoritative fair value accounting standards which establish a definition of fair value and set out a hierarchy for measuring fair value. These standards require additional disclosures about the various inputs and valuation techniques used to develop the measurements of fair value, a discussion in changes in valuation techniques and related inputs during the period and expanded disclosure of valuation levels for major security types. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

•      Level 1 –	Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Fund has the ability to access.
•      Level 2 –	Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These inputs may include quoted prices for the identical instrument on an inactive market, prices for similar instruments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, default rates and similar data.
•      Level 3 –	Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, to the extent relevant observable inputs are not available, representing the Fund’s own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability, and would be based on the best information available.

Following is a description of the valuation techniques applied to the Fund’s major categories of assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2014.

* See schedule of Investments for industry breakout.

At the end of each calendar quarter, management evaluates the Level 1, 2 and 3 assets and liabilities for changes in liquidity, including but not limited to: whether a broker is willing to execute at the quoted price, the depth and consistency of prices from third party services, and the existence of contemporaneous, observable trades in the market. Additionally, management evaluates Level 1 and 2 assets and liabilities on a quarterly basis for changes in listings or delistings on national exchanges. Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of investments that do not have a readily available market value, the fair value of the Fund’s investments may fluctuate from period to period. Additionally, the fair value of investments may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market existed for such investments and may differ materially from the values the Fund may ultimately realize. Further, such investments may be subject to legal and other restrictions on resale or otherwise less liquid than publicly traded securities. Pursuant to Fund policy, transfers between levels are considered to have occurred at the beginning of the reporting period. For the year ended March 31, 2014, there were no transfers between Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 for the Fund.

Level 3 investments are categorized as Level 3 with values derived utilizing prices from prior transactions or third party pricing information without adjustment (broker quotes, pricing services and net asset values). A significant change in third party pricing information could result in a significantly lower or higher value in such Level 3 investments. Rights are valued at zero as of March 31, 2014 and are included in the Level 3 investments.

When-Issued Securities – The Fund may enter into commitments to purchase securities on a forward or when-issued basis. When-issued securities are securities purchased for delivery beyond the normal settlement date at a stated price and yield. In the Fund’s case, these securities are subject to settlement within 45 days of the purchase date. The interest rate realized on these securities is fixed as of the purchase date. The Fund does not pay for such securities prior to the settlement date and no interest accrues to the Fund before settlement. These securities are subject to market fluctuation due to changes in market interest rates. The Fund will enter into these commitments with the intent of buying the security but may dispose of such security prior to settlement. At the time the commitment is entered into, the Fund will establish and maintain a segregated account in an amount sufficient to cover the obligation under the when-issued contract. At the

17

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — continued

time the Fund makes the commitment to purchase securities on a when-issued basis, it will record the transaction and thereafter reflect the value of such security purchased in determining its NAV. At the time of delivery of the security, its value may be more or less than the fixed purchase price.

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.

Management has analyzed the Fund’s tax positions taken on federal income tax returns for all open tax years (tax years March 31, 2011-2013) or expected to be taken on the Fund’s 2014 tax return, and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Fund’s financial statements. The Fund’s federal and state income and federal excise tax returns for tax years for which the applicable statutes of limitations have not expired are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state departments of revenue.

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, 2014, the following capital accounts were adjusted for the following amounts:

Undistributed Net Investment Income	Net Realized Gain				Accumulated Paid-In Capital
$128,217		$	(128,217	)		$	—

Distributions during the fiscal years ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 were characterized as follows for tax purposes:

	Ordinary Income	Return of Capital	Capital Gain	Total Distribution
FY 2014	$11,351,114	$        —	$        —	$11,351,114
FY 2013	$11,592,057	$        —	$        —	$11,592,057

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — continued

At March 31, 2014, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:

Total*	Accumulated Ordinary Income	Capital Loss Carryforward and Other	Late Year Losses Deferred	Net Unrealized Appreciation
$8,499,493	$1,289,606	$(13,840,511)	$        —	$21,050,398

* Temporary differences include book amortization and book accretion.

The Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “Act”) was enacted on December 22, 2010. The Act makes changes to several tax rules impacting the Fund. In general, the provisions of the Act are in effect for the Fund’s fiscal year ended March 31, 2012. Although the Act provides several benefits, including the unlimited carryover of future capital losses, there may be a greater likelihood that all or a portion of the Fund’s pre-enactment capital loss carryovers may expire without being utilized due to the fact that post-enactment capital losses must be utilized before pre-enactment capital loss carryovers may be utilized. Under the Act, new capital losses may now be carried forward indefinitely, and retain the character of the original loss as compared with pre-enactment law, where capital losses could be carried forward for up to eight years, and carried forward as short-term capital losses, irrespective of the character of the original loss.

As of March 31, 2014, the capital loss carryovers available to offset possible future capital gains and the expiration dates from pre-enactment taxable years were as follows:

Amount	Expiration Date
$  3,483,590		2016
10,295,168		2017
61,753		2018

There were no post-enactment capital loss carryovers as of March 31, 2014.

Capital loss carryforwards are subject to usage limitations. During the year ended March 31, 2014, capital loss carryforwards in the amount of $3,137,222 were utilized and $0 were expired off and cannot be used going forward.

Under current laws, certain capital losses realized after October 31 and certain ordinary losses realized after December 31 may be deferred and treated as occurring on the first day of the following fiscal year. For the year ended March 31, 2014, the Fund did not elect to defer losses.

At March 31, 2014, 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 Tax Cost	Net Unrealized Appreciation		Gross Unrealized Appreciation		Gross Unrealized (Depreciation)
$197,780,884	$	21,050,398	$	24,295,470	$	(3,245,072	)

The difference between book basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation is attributable primarily to the differing treatments for wash sales, 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, 2014:

	Cost of Purchases		Proceeds from Sales or Maturities
U.S. Government Securities	$	198,813	$	5,743,348
Other Investment Securities	$	35,080,272	$	31,800,026

Note 3 – Capital Stock – At March 31, 2014, there were an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest ($0.01 par value) authorized, with 10,708,597 shares issued and outstanding.

Note 4 – Investment Advisory Contract, Accounting and Administration and Trustee Compensation – Cutwater Investor Services Corp. (“Cutwater”) serves as Investment Adviser to the Fund. Cutwater 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.

BNY Mellon Investment Servicing (US) Inc. (“BNY Mellon”), a member of The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation, provides accounting and administrative services to the Fund.

The Trustees of the Fund receive an annual retainer, meeting fees and out of pocket expenses for meetings attended. The aggregate remuneration paid to the Trustees by the Fund during the year ended March 31, 2014 was $93,534. Certain officers of the Fund are also directors, officers and/or employees of the investment adviser. None of the Fund’s officers receives compensation from the Fund. As of March 31, 2014, there were no amounts due to the Trustees.

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, 2014 the Fund issued no shares under this Plan.

Note 6 – Rights Offering – On August 7, 2009 the Fund completed its transferable rights offering. In accordance with the terms of the rights offering described in the Fund’s prospectus an additional 1,650,893 shares were issued at a subscription price of $15.77 per share, making the gross proceeds raised by the offering $26,034,583, before offering-related expenses. Dealer/manager fees of $976,297 and offering costs of approximately $550,332 were deducted from the gross proceeds making the net proceeds available for investment by the Fund $24,507,954. The dilution impact of the offering was $0.88 per share or 4.79% of the $18.34 net asset value per share on August 7, 2009, the expiration and pricing date of the offering.

Note 7 – Subsequent Event – Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the Fund through the date the financial statements were issued, and has determined that there were no subsequent events requiring recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.

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.

For the year ended March 31, 2014, certain dividends paid by the Fund may be subject to a maximum tax rate of 15%, as provided by the Jobs and Growth Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2003. Of the distributions made by the Fund, 1.23% represents the amount of each distribution which may qualify for the 15% dividend income tax rate. Shareholders should not use this tax information to prepare their tax returns. The information will be included with your Form 1099 DIV which will be sent to you separately in January 2015.

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.

23

SHAREHOLDER INFORMATION (Unaudited) — continued

All shareholders of record are eligible to join the Plan. BNY Mellon 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.

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.

Ms. Welsh is an “independent” Trustee pursuant to paragraph (a)(2) of Item 3 to Form N-CSR.

Investment Companies.

CUTWATER PROXY VOTING POLICY

Introduction

This Proxy Voting Policy (“Policy”) for Cutwater 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 supersede the specific guidelines in this Policy. Cutwater 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, Cutwater will maintain proxy voting records for our advisory clients consistent with the Advisers Act. For those of our clients that are registered investment companies, Cutwater 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 Cutwater as well as certain of our advisory clients: may participate in securities lending programs. If Cutwater is aware that a material event will occur affecting an investment on loan, Cutwater will be obligated to call such loan in time to vote the proxies; however, with respect to other voting matters involving securities on loan, Cutwater would generally not vote with respect to such securities.

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 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 Cutwater 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.

In furtherance of Cutwater’s goal to make proxy recommendations in the best interests of clients, Cutwater follows procedures designed to identify and address material conflicts that may arise between Cutwater’s interests and those of its clients before making voting recommendations.

Procedures for Identifying Conflicts of Interest

Cutwater will monitor the potential for conflicts of interest on the part of Cutwater with respect to proxy voting recommendations or directions both as a result of personal relationships, significant client relationships (those accounting for greater than 15% of annual revenues) or special circumstances that may arise during the conduct of Cutwater’s or its affiliates’ business.

Procedures for Assessing Materiality of Conflicts of Interest and for Addressing Material

Conflicts of Interest

A. The Proxy Voting Portfolio Manager will determine whether a conflict of interest is material. A conflict of interest will be considered material to the extent that it is determined that such conflict has the potential to influence Cutwater’s decision-making. A conflict of interest shall be deemed material in the event that the issuer that is the subject of the proxy or any executive officer of that issuer has a client relationship with Cutwater or its affiliates, particularly MBIA, Inc., of the type described above. All other materiality determinations will be based on an assessment of the particular facts and circumstances. The Proxy Voting Portfolio Manager shall maintain a written record of all materiality determinations, which will be reviewed periodically by the CCO or his designee.

B. If it is determined that a conflict of interest is not material, Cutwater may give the directions or make the recommendations concerning the proxies, notwithstanding the existence of the conflict.

C. If it is determined that a conflict of interest is material, one or more methods may be used to resolve the conflict, including:

• disclosing the conflict to the client and obtaining its consent before voting;

• suggesting to the client that it engage another party to make a recommendation;

• engaging a third party to recommend a vote with respect to the proxy based on application of the policies set forth herein; or

• such other method as is deemed appropriate under the circumstances given the nature of the conflict.

Cutwater shall maintain a written record of the method used to resolve a material conflict of interest.

Recordkeeping

Cutwater shall maintain the following records relating to proxy voting:

• a copy of these policies and procedures;

• a copy of each proxy solicitation (including proxy statements) and related materials with regard to each recommendation;

• documentation relating to the identification and resolution of conflicts of interest;

• any documents created by Cutwater that were material to a proxy voting recommendation or that memorialized the basis for that recommendation; and

Such records shall be maintained and preserved in an easily accessible place for a period of not less than six years from the time the last entry was made on such record, the first two years in Cutwater’s office.

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.

Cutwater is from time to time asked to consent to an amendment to or grant a waiver under a trust indenture or other governing document of a specific financial instrument held by Cutwater clients. Such consents or waivers may cover corporate actions such as tenders, exchanges, registration rights, restructurings and other transactions relating to fixed income holdings of client accounts. Cutwater will generally treat such requests for consents not as proxies subject to these proxy voting policies and procedures, but as investment matters to be dealt with by the responsible Cutwater investment professionals, provided that such consents (i) do not relate to the election of a board of directors or appointment of auditors for a public company, (ii) would not otherwise materially affect the structure, management or control of a public company, and (iii) relate to a company in which Cutwater clients hold only interests in bank loans or debt securities and are consistent with customary standards and practices for such instruments. Determinations on voting consents or waivers to these matters are generally driven by Cutwater’s view of whether the proposed action will result in an economic benefit for the affected client(s).

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.

This Proxy Voting Policy will be reviewed at least annually.

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

Cutwater 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 directors.

4 To appoint or elect auditors.

5. To approve indemnification of directors and limitation of directors’ 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

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 in favor of the 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 directors.

3. To require shareholder approval of not more than 66 2/3% 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 directors.

5. To eliminate shareholder action by written consent without a shareholder meeting.

6. To allow only the board of directors 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 directors.

We will generally vote in favor of 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

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 directors or to specify tenure.

4. To eliminate a staggered board of directors.

5. To require confidential voting.

6. To require directors 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

Cutwater 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. Where Cutwater is serving as investment adviser or sub- adviser for a registered investment company (the “Fund”), the Proxy Voting Portfolio Manager will be a portfolio manager for the Fund. 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 CEO and Chief Investment Officer of Cutwater, who will be responsible for making the definitive determination as to how the proxy matter will be voted. The CEO/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 Cutwater.
