4 | All or a portion of these securities are segregated pending settlement of dollar-roll transactions. |
5 | At November 30, 2011, the cost of investments for federal tax purposes was $34,575,304. The net unrealized appreciation of investments for federal tax purposes excluding any unrealized appreciation/depreciation resulting from futures contracts was $612,711. This consists of net unrealized appreciation from investments for those securities having an excess of value over cost of $632,301 and net unrealized depreciation from investments for those securities having an excess of cost over value of $19,590. |
6 | Assets, other than investments in securities, less liabilities. A significant portion of this balance is a result of dollar-roll transactions, as well as loans to unaffiliated qualified brokers for securities lending. The Fund receives cash from the broker as collateral for the loaned securities and reinvests the collateral in short-term securities such as repurchase agreements or money market mutual funds. |
7 | Non-income producing security. |

Investment Valuation
In calculating its net asset value (NAV), the Fund generally values investments as follows:
Fair Valuation and Significant Events Procedures
The Directors have authorized the use of pricing services to provide evaluations of the current fair value of certain investments for purposes of calculating the NAV. Factors considered by pricing services in evaluating an investment include the yields or prices of investments of comparable quality, coupon, maturity, call rights and other potential prepayments, terms and type, reported transactions, indications as to values from dealers and general market conditions. Some pricing services provide a single price evaluation reflecting the bid-side of the market for an investment (a “bid” evaluation). Other pricing services offer both bid evaluations and price evaluations indicative of a price between the prices bid and asked for the investment (a “mid” evaluation). The Fund normally uses bid evaluations for U.S. Treasury and Agency securities, mortgage-backed securities and municipal securities. The Fund normally uses mid evaluations for other types of fixed-income securities and OTC derivative contracts. In the event that market quotations and price evaluations are not available for an investment, the fair value of the investment is determined in accordance with procedures adopted by the Directors.
The Directors also have adopted procedures requiring an investment to be priced at its fair value whenever the Adviser determines that a significant event affecting the value of the investment has occurred between the time as of which the price of the investment would otherwise be determined and the time as of which the NAV is computed. An event is considered significant if there is both an affirmative expectation that the investment's value will change in response to the event and a reasonable basis for quantifying the resulting change in value. Examples of significant events that may occur after the close of the principal market on which a security is traded, or after the time of a price evaluation provided by a pricing service or a dealer, include:
The Fund may seek to obtain more current quotations or price evaluations from alternative pricing sources. If a reliable alternative pricing source is not available, the Fund will determine the fair value of the investment using another method approved by the Directors.
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, including investment companies with daily net asset values, if applicable. Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.). Also includes securities valued at amortized cost. Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
The following is a summary of the inputs used, as of November 30, 2011, in valuing the Fund's assets carried at fair value:

Level 1 – Quoted Prices and Investments in Mutual Funds |
