COMMENTS FOR ALL FUNDS
PROSPECTUS
COMMENT 1 MORE ABOUT OUR INVESTMENT STRATEGIES
Please confirm supplementally that the Funds will treat instruments that rely on Sections 3(c)(7) or 3(c)(1) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 or that are investment pools that are excluded from the definition of investment company and are privately offered (for example, private oil and gas funds) as illiquid securities.
RESPONSE TO COMMENT 1
The Funds and the board of directors/trustees for the Funds have adopted comprehensive policies and procedures for determining whether a security is liquid. While instruments that rely on Sections 3(c)(7) or 3(c)(1) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 or that are privately offered investment pools that are excluded from the definition of an investment company are often deemed to be illiquid securities, in certain circumstances, such instruments may be deemed to be liquid securities. In particular, such instruments may be classified as liquid securities if they have redemption rights allowing a Fund to redeem such securities within seven days at approximately the price at which they are valued. Consequently, the Funds are not able to represent that all such investments will be classified as illiquid securities but will evaluate each asset pursuant to the Funds liquidity policies and procedures.
