Item 2. Controls and Procedures.

(a) Based on an evaluation of Registrant’s Disclosure Controls and Procedures (as defined in Rule 30a-3(c) under the Investment Company Act of 1940) (the “Disclosure Controls”), as of a date within 90 days prior to the filing date (the “Filing Date”) of this Form N-Q (the “Report”), the Registrant’s Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer have concluded that the Disclosure Controls are effectively designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Registrant in the Report is recorded, processed, summarized and reported by the Filing Date, including ensuring that information required to be disclosed in the Report is accumulated and communicated to the Registrant’s management, including the Registrant’s Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

(b) There were no changes in the Registrant’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 30a-3(d) under the Investment Company Act of 1940) that occurred during the Registrant’s last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the registrant’s internal control over financial reporting.


Item 3. Exhibits.

Filed as exhibits herewith are separate certifications for Registrant’s Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer of the registrant as required by Rule 30a-2(a) under Investment Company Act of 1940.
