T. Rowe Price Annual Report
 Institutional Concentrated
 International Equity Fund
October 31, 2010 

Highlights 

• International stock markets were volatile but posted solid gains in the period since the fund’s inception on July 27, 2010.

• The fund’s objective is long-term growth of capital through investments in stocks of non-U.S companies.

• The portfolio is considered “concentrated” and will typically invest in a relatively small number of holdings. Additionally, the fund is “nondiversified,” meaning it may invest a greater portion of its assets in a single company or sector than is permitted in a “diversified” fund.

• While the fund invests with an awareness of the global economic backdrop and the outlook for industry sectors and individual countries, bottom-up stock selection drives our decision-making.

The views and opinions in this report were current as of October 31, 2010. They are not guarantees of performance or investment results and should not be taken as investment advice. Investment decisions reflect a variety of factors, and the managers reserve the right to change their views about individual stocks, sectors, and the markets at any time. As a result, the views expressed should not be relied upon as a forecast of the fund’s future investment intent.

Manager’s Letter
T. Rowe Price Institutional Concentrated International Equity Fund

Dear Investor

This is our first report since the fund’s inception on July 27, 2010, and we would like to welcome new investors. The fund’s fiscal year ended on October 31, and our reports—both annual and semiannual—will usually cover the portfolio’s investment activity during the previous six months. This report covers the approximately three-month period since the fund’s inception.


The Institutional Concentrated International Equity Fund generated an 8.30% return in the period from its inception to October 31, 2010. As shown in the Performance Comparison table, the fund trailed the benchmark MSCI EAFE Index, which measures the performance of stocks in the Europe, Australasia, and Far East regions. The fund’s performance versus the MSCI index benefited from stock selection in the information technology, materials, and financials sectors. However, stock selection in consumer discretionary and industrials and business services detracted from relative returns. It is impossible to discern trends from a single three-month period, and any conclusions may be spurious at best.

Portfolio Strategy

The fund seeks to generate long-term capital appreciation through investments in stocks of non-U.S. companies. Under normal circumstances, the fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets in the stocks of non-U.S. companies, and no more than 15% of assets will be invested in companies domiciled in emerging markets. We expect this concentrated portfolio to hold between 40 and 60 stocks. Bottom-up stock selection is the primary determinant for inclusion in the portfolio, and we look for companies that have a favorable combination of fundamentals, earnings potential, and relative valuation without a preference for growth or value.

Our core investment belief is that the market is inherently inefficient and short-term focused, meaning securities are often mispriced. These inefficiencies manifest themselves through valuation anomalies and flawed perception of the magnitude and duration of a company’s growth. Our role, through disciplined fundamental research, is to identify and exploit such pricing anomalies and generate superior investment opportunities.

We work with our industry analysts, as well as other T. Rowe Price portfolio managers, to find companies that fit these criteria. We look for the best stocks wherever we may find them rather than employing a regional, country, or sector focus. The portfolio’s composition is determined by the following considerations.

• A focus on the most-compelling companies, in which we have the highest conviction.

• A target holding period of two to three years.

• Position sizes determined by risk/reward characteristics.

• Diversification across regions, countries, and sectors.

• Active risk management that include a sell discipline based on analyst downgrades, achieving target prices, and forced displacement (such as mergers or acquisitions).

Market Review

Markets around the globe skidded almost immediately after the fund’s inception at the end of July but have risen solidly since late August. Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke’s speech in Jackson Hole in late August prompted anticipation of further monetary easing. We fear that the excess liquidity provided by some central banks around the globe is not a panacea for the imbalances seen in some economies and could be leading investors into a false sense of security. We do not believe that printing more money (or quantitative easing as it is politely called) has ever solved structural issues. No one really knows the ultimate effect that quantitative easing will have, or its longer-term consequences to global growth, but equity investors have bid up markets nonetheless.

The portfolio will tend to lag in periods when security prices run ahead of their underlying fundamentals. We believe that stocks have rallied in recent months more on hope than on improving fundamentals. This kind of environment is generally not going to produce outperformance for the fund given our investment strategy and positioning. Our long-term focus and investment decisions rooted in security analysis should serve investors well when fundamentals are correctly reflected in prices. While we are acutely aware of the investment environment, we do not let it dictate the portfolio’s construction.

Portfolio Positioning and Review

In our view, growth managers tend to think the growth outlook is better than what is being priced in by the market, and value managers take the position that the market is underestimating a company’s true worth. We are not compelled or constrained to side with one or the other. Our investment style attempts to discern whether expectations as priced by the market are correct. We focus on best-in-class companies with durable competitive advantages and exceptional financials as evidenced by their ability to generate free cash flow and create shareholder value over time. We want to buy these companies when they are trading at a discount to their intrinsic value as measured by cash flows or net assets. A stock will be relatively cheap when market expectations are unjustly pessimistic. From an absolute perspective, a stock will be cheap when it is trading at a discount to its intrinsic value as measured by cash flows or net asset value. Ultimately, the fund’s strategy relies on our research analysts’ focus and ability to pick long-term winners.

Because we manage a concentrated portfolio, we keep a close eye on risk, seeking to reduce losses by remaining disciplined from a valuation perspective. In general, concentrated portfolios tend to exhibit greater volatility than more broadly diversified portfolios. These divergences will also show up in our short-term comparisons with broad-based benchmarks—an inevitable characteristic of managing a concentrated portfolio. That said, we are long-term investors, and we will attempt to use short-term volatility as an opportunity.

Since the portfolio’s inception, our best contributor was Metro Pacific Investments, a multi-utility company operating in the Philippines that has benefited from better pricing and volumes and an improved outlook for the overall economy. The investment and management company provides water and sewer services in the area of West Metro Manila. It also operates and coordinates the maintenance of toll facilities; operates hospitals, nursing schools, and medical and chemical clinics; and manages the distribution and supply of electricity and a diverse mix of operations for the Manila North Harbor. (Please refer to the portfolio of investments for a detailed list of holdings and the amount each represents in the portfolio.)

The portfolio’s second-best performer, Uni-President China Holdings, is a food products company in the fund’s top-performing sector, consumer staples. The company is the largest juice drinks producer and third-largest noodle supplier in China. It is also the largest processed food producer in Taiwan. Like Metro Pacific, both stocks have been volatile but ended sharply higher for the last three months.


Although every sector in the portfolio posted positive absolute returns during the reporting period, financials was the weakest. Capital markets holdings Credit Suisse and Bank Sarasin were poor performers. We bought the pair of Switzerland-based private banks because we believe they are taking market share in a growing industry—this was confirmed by their recent results and asset inflows, which have been strong. They suffered from lower margins as clients have executed fewer transactions, but we view this as a cyclical rather than a long-term structural issue.


As stated earlier in the letter, stock selection dictates portfolio construction. Although we do not turn a blind eye to regional, country, and sector allocations, we will wind up with overweights and underweights compared with the benchmark as we attempt to exploit favorable themes and avoid taking undue risk. We currently have overweight allocations in consumer staples, telecommunication services, and health care—we are finding solid companies trading at what we think are discount valuations because of an overly pessimistic outlook. On a country level, we have a slight overweight in Japan, and this has been a headwind for the strategy in recent months because the yen has appreciated strongly. The Japanese market tends to do better over time when the yen is weakening since the country is a major exporter. We continue to find good-quality companies at very reasonable valuations in Japan, and we intend to hold our course.

Within the consumer staples sector, we have large positions in Kirin Holdings and Japan Tobacco because we believe both trade at a significant discount to their international peers. Telecommunication services also look attractive because of a solid growth outlook coupled with attractive valuations. We have exposure in several fundamentally sound wireless service providers operating in Latin America, Africa, and Asia.

The portfolio is underweight in financials and materials. In financials, we are mostly underweight real estate and insurance, while we have a slight overweight in banks. Throughout the year, government regulation and tepid overall demand for financial products have kept share prices depressed, but we now believe the market is pricing in an overly pessimistic scenario, and we are finding good opportunities. In materials, we struggle with conviction on the overall group due to uncertainties surrounding commodity prices. We wonder to what extent quantitative easing has been driving up commodity prices rather than real demand. Although we are underweight in the materials sector, we took advantage of several opportunities and benefited from stock selection in large diversified miners with strong balance sheets.

Investment Outlook

The biggest question for equity markets today is what are the repercussions from a continued accommodative stance by the Fed? We have started seeing capital controls, increasing government intervention, and rising interest rates in emerging markets as a direct response to easing in the U.S, which we fear is an ominous foreshadowing for stocks. Although many countries have made significant progress with their economic situations since the depths of the credit crunch, imbalances still abound.

We fear that the additional liquidity being pumped into the market will find a way to inflate many asset classes beyond what would be dictated by fundamentals. When credit is too readily available, people will inevitably make poor investment decisions. When there is little or no cost associated with borrowing, the marginal investments will be made without risk in mind, leading to a misallocation of resources.

In this challenging investment environment where valuations overall are no longer a one-way bet, our portfolio is positioned somewhat defensively. That said, within our investment universe, we are still finding great companies that trade below their intrinsic value due to market expectations that are overly pessimistic. These are the kind of companies that are our bread and butter, where we are willing to take large positions for the long term.

Looking ahead, we believe that strong fundamental research and bottom-up stock selection will be critical to investment success. Thank you for your confidence in our efforts.

Respectfully submitted,

Risks of International Investing 

Funds that invest overseas generally carry more risk than funds that invest strictly in U.S. assets. Funds investing in a single country or in a limited geographic region tend to be riskier than more diversified funds. Risks can result from varying stages of economic and political development; differing regulatory environments, trading days, and accounting standards; and higher transaction costs of non-U.S. markets. Non-U.S. investments are also subject to currency risk, or a decline in the value of a foreign currency versus the U.S. dollar, which reduces the dollar value of securities denominated in that currency.

Portfolio Highlights





Performance and Expenses
T. Rowe Price Institutional Concentrated International Equity Fund

Fund Expense Example

As a mutual fund shareholder, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, such as redemption fees or sales loads, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and service (12b-1) fees, and other fund expenses. The following example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the most recent six-month period and held for the entire period.

Actual Expenses
The first line of the following table (“Actual”) provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with your account balance, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The information on the second line of the table (“Hypothetical”) is based on hypothetical account values and expenses derived from the fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed 5% per year rate of return before expenses (not the fund’s actual return). You may compare the ongoing costs of investing in the fund with other funds by contrasting this 5% hypothetical example and the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period.

You should also be aware that the expenses shown in the table highlight only your ongoing costs and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as redemption fees or sales loads. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. To the extent a fund charges transaction costs, however, the total cost of owning that fund is higher.

Notes to Financial Statements
T. Rowe Price Institutional Concentrated International Equity Fund
October 31, 2010

T. Rowe Price Institutional International Funds, Inc. (the corporation), is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the 1940 Act). The Institutional Concentrated International Equity Fund (the fund), a nondiversified, open-end management investment company, is one portfolio established by the corporation. The fund commenced operations on July 27, 2010. The fund seeks long-term growth of capital through investments in stocks of non-U.S. companies.

NOTE 1 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Preparation The accompanying financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), which require the use of estimates made by fund management. Fund management believes that estimates and valuations are appropriate; however, actual results may differ from those estimates, and the valuations reflected in the accompanying financial statements may differ from the value ultimately realized upon sale of securities.

Investment Transactions, Investment Income, and Distributions Income and expenses are recorded on the accrual basis. Dividends received from mutual fund investments are reflected as dividend income; capital gain distributions are reflected as realized gain/loss. Dividend income and capital gain distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income tax-related interest and penalties, if incurred, would be recorded as income tax expense. Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Realized gains and losses are reported on the identified cost basis. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income distributions are declared and paid annually. Capital gain distributions, if any, are generally declared and paid by the fund annually.

Currency Translation Assets, including investments, and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar values each day at the prevailing exchange rate, using the mean of the bid and asked prices of such currencies against U.S. dollars as quoted by a major bank. Purchases and sales of securities, income, and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rate on the date of the transaction. The effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on realized and unrealized security gains and losses is reflected as a component of security gains and losses.

Credits The fund earns credits on temporarily uninvested cash balances held at the custodian, which reduce the fund’s custody charges. Custody expense in the accompanying financial statements is presented before reduction for credits.

Redemption Fees A 2% fee is assessed on redemptions of fund shares held for 90 days or less to deter short-term trading and to protect the interests of long-term shareholders. Redemption fees are withheld from proceeds that shareholders receive from the sale or exchange of fund shares. The fees are paid to the fund and are recorded as an increase to paid-in capital. The fees may cause the redemption price per share to differ from the net asset value per share.

NOTE 2 - VALUATION

The fund’s financial instruments are reported at fair value as defined by GAAP. The fund determines the values of its assets and liabilities and computes its net asset value per share at the close of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4 p.m. ET, each day that the NYSE is open for business. Values in the accompanying Portfolio of Investments are as of October 29, 2010, the last business day in the fund’s fiscal year ended October 31, 2010. Some foreign markets were open between October 29 and the close of the reporting period on October 31, but any differences in values and foreign exchange rates subsequent to October 29 through October 31 were immaterial to the fund’s financial statements.

Valuation Methods Equity securities listed or regularly traded on a securities exchange or in the over-the-counter (OTC) market are valued at the last quoted sale price or, for certain markets, the official closing price at the time the valuations are made, except for OTC Bulletin Board securities, which are valued at the mean of the latest bid and asked prices. A security that is listed or traded on more than one exchange is valued at the quotation on the exchange determined to be the primary market for such security. Listed securities not traded on a particular day are valued at the mean of the latest bid and asked prices for domestic securities and the last quoted sale price for international securities.

Investments in mutual funds are valued at the mutual fund’s closing net asset value per share on the day of valuation.

Other investments, including restricted securities, and those financial instruments for which the above valuation procedures are inappropriate or are deemed not to reflect fair value are stated at fair value as determined in good faith by the T. Rowe Price Valuation Committee, established by the fund’s Board of Directors.

For valuation purposes, the last quoted prices of non-U.S. equity securities may be adjusted under the circumstances described below. If the fund determines that developments between the close of a foreign market and the close of the NYSE will, in its judgment, materially affect the value of some or all of its portfolio securities, the fund will adjust the previous closing prices to reflect what it believes to be the fair value of the securities as of the close of the NYSE. In deciding whether it is necessary to adjust closing prices to reflect fair value, the fund reviews a variety of factors, including developments in foreign markets, the performance of U.S. securities markets, and the performance of instruments trading in U.S. markets that represent foreign securities and baskets of foreign securities. A fund may also fair value securities in other situations, such as when a particular foreign market is closed but the fund is open. The fund uses outside pricing services to provide it with closing prices and information to evaluate and/or adjust those prices. The fund cannot predict how often it will use closing prices and how often it will determine it necessary to adjust those prices to reflect fair value. As a means of evaluating its security valuation process, the fund routinely compares closing prices, the next day’s opening prices in the same markets, and adjusted prices.

Valuation Inputs Various inputs are used to determine the value of the fund’s financial instruments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical financial instruments

Level 2 – observable inputs other than Level 1 quoted prices (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar financial instruments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, and credit risk)

Level 3 – unobservable inputs

Observable inputs are those based on market data obtained from sources independent of the fund, and unobservable inputs reflect the fund’s own assumptions based on the best information available. The input levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with financial instruments at that level. For example, non-U.S. equity securities actively traded in foreign markets generally are reflected in Level 2 despite the availability of closing prices because the fund evaluates and determines whether those closing prices reflect fair value at the close of the NYSE or require adjustment, as described above. The following table summarizes the fund’s financial instruments, based on the inputs used to determine their values on October 31, 2010:

NOTE 3 - OTHER INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS

Consistent with its investment objective, the fund engages in the following practices to manage exposure to certain risks and/or to enhance performance. The investment objective, policies, program, and risk factors of the fund are described more fully in the fund’s prospectus and Statement of Additional Information.

Emerging Markets At October 31, 2010, approximately 11% of the fund’s net assets were invested, either directly or through investments in T. Rowe Price institutional funds, in securities of companies located in emerging markets, securities issued by governments of emerging market countries, and/or securities denominated in or linked to the currencies of emerging market countries. Emerging market securities are often subject to greater price volatility, less liquidity, and higher rates of inflation than U.S. securities. In addition, emerging markets may be subject to greater political, economic and social uncertainty, and differing regulatory environments that may potentially impact the fund’s ability to buy or sell certain securities or repatriate proceeds to U.S. dollars.

Other Purchases and sales of portfolio securities other than short-term securities aggregated $7,542,000 and $1,000,000, respectively, for the period ended October 31, 2010.

NOTE 4 - FEDERAL INCOME TAXES

No provision for federal income taxes is required since the fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code and distribute to shareholders all of its taxable income and gains. Distributions determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations may differ in amount or character from net investment income and realized gains for financial reporting purposes. Financial reporting records are adjusted for permanent book/tax differences to reflect tax character but are not adjusted for temporary differences.

The fund files U.S. federal, state, and local tax returns as required. The fund’s tax returns are subject to examination by the relevant tax authorities until expiration of the applicable statute of limitations, which is generally three years after filing of the tax return, but which can be extended to six years in certain circumstances.

There were no distributions in the period ended October 31, 2010. At October 31, 2010, the tax-basis cost of investments and components of net assets were as follows:

NOTE 5 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The fund is managed by T. Rowe Price International, Inc. (the manager), a wholly owned subsidiary of T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc. (Price Associates), which is wholly owned by T. Rowe Price Group, Inc. The investment management agreement between the fund and the manager provides for an annual investment management fee equal to 0.65% of the fund’s average daily net assets. The fee is computed daily and paid monthly.

The fund is also subject to a contractual expense limitation through February 28, 2013. During the limitation period, the manager is required to waive its management fee and reimburse the fund for any expenses, excluding interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, and extraordinary expenses that would otherwise cause the fund’s ratio of annualized total expenses to average net assets (expense ratio) to exceed its expense limitation of 0.75%. For a period of three years after the date of any reimbursement or waiver, the fund is required to repay the manager for expenses previously reimbursed and management fees waived to the extent its net assets have grown or expenses have declined sufficiently to allow repayment without causing the fund’s expense ratio to exceed its expense limitation. Pursuant to this agreement, management fees in the amount of $12,000 were waived and expenses in the amount of $28,000 were reimbursed by the manager during the period ended October 31, 2010. Including these amounts, management fees waived and expenses previously reimbursed by the manager in the amount of $40,000 remain subject to repayment at October 31, 2010.

In addition, the fund has entered into service agreements with Price Associates and a wholly owned subsidiary of Price Associates (collectively, Price). Price Associates computes the daily share price and provides certain other administrative services to the fund. T. Rowe Price Services, Inc., provides shareholder and administrative services in its capacity as the fund’s transfer and dividend disbursing agent. For the period ended October 31, 2010, expenses incurred pursuant to these service agreements were $29,000 for Price Associates and less than $1,000 for T. Rowe Price Services, Inc. The total amount payable at period-end pursuant to these service agreements is reflected as Due to Affiliates in the accompanying financial statements.

The fund may invest in the T. Rowe Price Reserve Investment Fund and the T. Rowe Price Government Reserve Investment Fund (collectively, the T. Rowe Price Reserve Investment Funds), open-end management investment companies managed by Price Associates and considered affiliates of the fund. The T. Rowe Price Reserve Investment Funds are offered as cash management options to mutual funds, trusts, and other accounts managed by Price Associates and/or its affiliates and are not available for direct purchase by members of the public. The T. Rowe Price Reserve Investment Funds pay no investment management fees.

As of October 31, 2010, T. Rowe Price Group, Inc., and/or its wholly owned subsidiaries owned 700,000 shares of the fund, representing 100% of the fund’s net assets.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors of T. Rowe Price Institutional International Funds, Inc. and
Shareholders of T. Rowe Price Institutional Concentrated International Equity Fund

In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the portfolio of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of T. Rowe Price Institutional Concentrated International Equity Fund (one of the portfolios comprising T. Rowe Price Institutional International Funds, Inc., hereafter referred to as the “Fund”) at October 31, 2010, and the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for the period July 27, 2010 (commencement of operations) through October 31, 2010, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Fund’s management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit, which included confirmation of securities at October 31, 2010 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, and confirmation of the underlying fund by correspondence with the transfer agent, provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Item 2. Code of Ethics.

The registrant has adopted a code of ethics, as defined in Item 2 of Form N-CSR, applicable to its principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions. A copy of this code of ethics is filed as an exhibit to this Form N-CSR. No substantive amendments were approved or waivers were granted to this code of ethics during the period covered by this report.

Item 3. Audit Committee Financial Expert.

The registrant’s Board of Directors/Trustees has determined that Mr. Anthony W. Deering qualifies as an audit committee financial expert, as defined in Item 3 of Form N-CSR. Mr. Deering is considered independent for purposes of Item 3 of Form N-CSR.

Item 4. Principal Accountant Fees and Services.

(a) – (d) Aggregate fees billed to the registrant for the last two fiscal years for professional services rendered by the registrant’s principal accountant were as follows:


Audit fees include amounts related to the audit of the registrant’s annual financial statements and services normally provided by the accountant in connection with statutory and regulatory filings. Audit-related fees include amounts reasonably related to the performance of the audit of the registrant’s financial statements and specifically include the issuance of a report on internal controls and, if applicable, agreed-upon procedures related to fund acquisitions. Tax fees include amounts related to services for tax compliance, tax planning, and tax advice. The nature of these services specifically includes the review of distribution calculations and the preparation of Federal, state, and excise tax returns. All other fees include the registrant’s pro-rata share of amounts for agreed-upon procedures in conjunction with service contract approvals by the registrant’s Board of Directors/Trustees.

(e)(1) The registrant’s audit committee has adopted a policy whereby audit and non-audit services performed by the registrant’s principal accountant for the registrant, its investment adviser, and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant require pre-approval in advance at regularly scheduled audit committee meetings. If such a service is required between regularly scheduled audit committee meetings, pre-approval may be authorized by one audit committee member with ratification at the next scheduled audit committee meeting. Waiver of pre-approval for audit or non-audit services requiring fees of a de minimis amount is not permitted.

    (2) No services included in (b) – (d) above were approved pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X.

(f) Less than 50 percent of the hours expended on the principal accountant’s engagement to audit the registrant’s financial statements for the most recent fiscal year were attributed to work performed by persons other than the principal accountant’s full-time, permanent employees.

(g) The aggregate fees billed for the most recent fiscal year and the preceding fiscal year by the registrant’s principal accountant for non-audit services rendered to the registrant, its investment adviser, and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant were $1,429,000 and $2,179,000, respectively.

(h) All non-audit services rendered in (g) above were pre-approved by the registrant’s audit committee. Accordingly, these services were considered by the registrant’s audit committee in maintaining the principal accountant’s independence.

Item 5. Audit Committee of Listed Registrants.

Not applicable.

(a) Not applicable. The complete schedule of investments is included in Item 1 of this Form N-CSR.

(b) The registrant’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer are aware of no change in the registrant’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the registrant’s second fiscal quarter covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the registrant’s internal control over financial reporting.
