Page 9 Add the following paragraph: Zero Coupon Obligations. The Fund may acquire zero coupon obligations. Zero coupon obligations have greater price volatility than similar maturity coupon obligations and will not result in the payment of interest until maturity. The Fund will purchase such zero coupon obligations only if the likely relative greater price volatility of such zero coupon obligations is not inconsistent with the Fund's investment objective. The Fund will accrue income on such investments for tax and accounting purposes, as required, which is distributable to shareowners and which, because no cash is received at the time of accrual, may require the liquidation of other portfolio securities to satisfy the Fund distribution obligations.
