FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 (SFAS 157) seeks to implement more uniform reporting relating to the fair valuation of securities for financial statement purposes. Mutual funds are required to implement the requirements of this standard for fiscal years beginning after Nov. 15, 2007. While uniformity of presentation is the objective of the standard, industry implementation has just begun and it is likely that there will be a range of practices utilized and it will be some period of time before industry practices become more uniform. For this reason care should be exercised in interpreting this information and/or using it for comparison with other mutual funds. 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 risks, etc.) - Level 3 -- significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) Note: The level assigned to a particular security and the inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. The following table is a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund's investments as of Oct. 31, 2008:
