B.	WARRANTY

No statement made by or on behalf of the Insured,
whether contained in the Application
or otherwise, shall be deemed to be an absolute
warranty, but only a warranty that such
statement is true to the best of the knowledge
of the person responsible for such
statement.

C.	COURT COSTS AND ATTORNEYS' FEES

The Underwriter will indemnify the Insured against
court costs and reasonable attorneys
fees incurred and paid by the Insured in defense
of any legal proceeding brought against
the Insured claiming that the Insured is liable
for any loss, claim or damage which,
if established against the Insured, would
constitute a loss sustained by the Insured
covered under the terms of this Bond; provided,
however, that with respect to Insuring

in the event that

or is adjudicated to have committed a

caused the loss; or

adjudication, an arbitrator or

Underwriter of any such legal proceeding
and upon request shall furnish the Underwriter

information and assistance which the Underwriter
shall deem necessary to the proper
defense of such legal proceeding.

If the amount of the Insureds liability or alleged
liability in any such legal
proceeding is greater than the amount which the
Insured would be entitled to recover
under this Bond (other than pursuant to this
General Agreement C), or if a Deductible
Amount is applicable, or both, the indemnity
liability of the Underwriter under this
General Agreement C is limited to the
proportion of court costs and attorneys' fees
incurred and paid by the Insured or by the

Insured would be entitled to recover under

General Agreement C) bears to the sum of
such amount plus the amount which the
Insured is not entitled to recover.  Such
indemnity shall be in addition to the

by the due diligence of the Insured at or prior
to the time of acquisition by the Insured of
the assets acquired from a predecessor, and
(2) arose out of a lawsuit or valid claim brought
against the Insured by a person unaffiliated with
the Insured or with any person affiliated with the
Insured.

Q.	Loss resulting from the unauthorized entry
of data into, or the deletion or destruction of
data in, or the change of data elements or programs
within, any Computer System, unless such loss
is otherwise covered under Insuring Agreement A.









SECTION 3.  ASSIGNMENT OF RIGHTS

Upon payment to the Insured hereunder for any loss,
the Underwriter shall be subrogated to the extent
of such payment to all of the Insureds rights
and claims in connection with such loss; provided,
however, that the Underwriter shall not be subrogated
to any such rights or claims one named Insured
under this Bond may have against another named
Insured under this Bond.  At the request of the
Underwriter, the Insured shall execute all assignments
or other documents and take such action as the Underwriter
may deem necessary or desirable to secure and perfect
such rights and claims, including the execution of
documents necessary to enable the Underwriter to
bring suit in the name of the Insured.

Assignment of any rights or claims under this Bond
shall not bind the Underwriter without the
Underwriters written consent.

SECTION 4.  LOSS--NOTICE--PROOF--
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

This Bond is for the use and benefit only of the
Insured and the Underwriter shall not be liable
hereunder for loss sustained by anyone other than
the Insured, except that if the Insured includes
such other loss in the Insureds proof of loss,
the Underwriter shall consider its liability
therefor.  As soon as practicable and not more
than sixty (60) days after discovery of any loss
covered hereunder, the Insured shall give the
Underwriter written notice thereof and, as soon
as practicable and within one year after such
discovery, shall also furnish to the Underwriter
affirmative proof of loss with full particulars.
The Underwriter may extend the sixty day notice
period or the one year proof of loss period if
the Insured requests an extension and shows
good cause therefor.

See also General Agreement C
(Court Costs and Attorneys' Fees).

The Underwriter shall not be liable hereunder
for loss of Securities unless each of the
Securities is identified in such proof of loss
by a certificate or bond number or by such
identification means as the Underwriter may require.
The Underwriter shall have a reasonable period
after receipt of a proper affirmative proof of
loss within which to investigate the claim,
but where the loss is of Securities and is
clear and undisputed, settlement shall be
made within forty-eight (48) hours even if
the loss involves Securities of which duplicates
may be obtained.

The Insured shall not bring legal proceedings
against the Underwriter to recover any loss
hereunder prior to sixty (60) days after filing
such proof of loss or subsequent to twenty-four
(24) months after the discovery of such loss or,
in the case of a legal proceeding to recover
hereunder on account of any judgment against the
Insured in or settlement of any suit mentioned
in General Agreement C or to recover court costs
or attorneys' fees paid in any such suit,
twenty-four (24) months after the date of the
final judgment in or settlement of such suit.
If any limitation in this Bond is prohibited
by any applicable law, such limitation shall
be deemed to be amended to be equal to the
minimum period of limitation permitted by
such law.

Notice hereunder shall be given to Manager,
Professional Liability Claims, ICI Mutual
Insurance Company, P.O. Box 730, Burlington,
Vermont 05402-0730.




SECTION 5.  DISCOVERY

For all purposes under this Bond, a loss is
discovered, and discovery of a loss occurs,
when the Insured
(1)  becomes aware of facts, or
(2)  receives notice of an actual or potential
claim by a third party which alleges that the
Insured is liable under circumstances,
which would cause a reasonable person to assume
that loss covered by this Bond has been or is
likely to  be incurred even though the exact
amount or details of loss may not be known.

SECTION 6.  VALUATION OF PROPERTY

For the purpose of determining the amount of any
loss hereunder, the value of any Property shall
 be the market value of such Property at the
close of business on the first business day
before the discovery of such loss; except that
(1)  the value of any Property replaced by
the Insured prior to the payment of a claim
therefor shall be the actual market value of
such Property at the time of replacement,
but not in excess of the market value of
such Property on the first business day
before the discovery of the loss of such
Property;
(2)  the value of Securities which must
be produced to exercise subscription,
conversion, redemption or deposit privileges
shall be the market value of such privileges
immediately preceding the expiration thereof
if the loss of such Securities is not
discovered until after such expiration,
but if there is no quoted or other
ascertainable market price for such
Property or privileges referred to
in clauses (1) and (2), their value
shall be fixed by agreement between
the parties or by arbitration before
an arbitrator or arbitrators acceptable
to the parties; and
(3) the value of books of accounts or
other records used by the Insured in
the conduct of its business shall be
limited to the actual cost of blank books,
blank pages or other materials if the
books or records are reproduced plus
the cost of labor for the transcription
or copying of data furnished by the
Insured for reproduction.

SECTION 7.  LOST SECURITIES

The maximum liability of the Underwriter
hereunder for lost Securities shall be
the payment for, or replacement of,
such Securities having an aggregate
value not to exceed the applicable
Limit of Liability.  If the Underwriter
shall make payment to the Insured for
any loss of securities, the Insured
shall assign to the Underwriter all of the
Insureds right, title and interest in
and to such Securities.  In lieu of
such payment, the Underwriter may,
at its option, replace such lost
Securities, and in such case the
Insured shall cooperate to effect such
replacement.  To effect the replacement
of lost Securities, the Underwriter may
issue or arrange for the issuance of a
lost instrument bond.  If the value of
such Securities does not exceed the
applicable Deductible Amount (at the
time of the discovery of the loss),
the Insured will pay the usual premium
charged for the lost instrument bond and
will indemnify the issuer of such bond
against all loss and expense that it
may sustain because of the issuance of
such bond.

If the value of such Securities exceeds
the applicable Deductible Amount (at
the time of discovery of the loss),
the Insured will pay a proportion of
the usual premium charged for the
lost instrument bond, equal to the
percentage that the applicable
Deductible Amount bears to the
value of such Securities upon
discovery of the loss, and will
indemnify the issuer of such bond
against all loss and expense that
is not recovered from the Underwriter
under the terms and conditions of this
Bond, subject to the applicable Limit
of Liability.

SECTION 8.  SALVAGE

If any recovery is made, whether by
the Insured or the Underwriter, on
account of any loss within the
applicable Limit of Liability
hereunder, the Underwriter shall
be entitled to the full amount of
such recovery to reimburse the
Underwriter for all amounts paid
hereunder with respect to such
loss.  If any recovery is made,
whether by the Insured or the
Underwriter, on account of any
loss in excess of the applicable
Limit of Liability hereunder plus
the Deductible Amount applicable
to such loss from any source other
than suretyship, insurance,
reinsurance, security or indemnity
taken by or for the benefit of the
Underwriter, the amount of such
recovery, net of the actual costs
and expenses of recovery, shall be
applied to reimburse the Insured
in full for the portion of such loss
in excess of such Limit of Liability,
and the remainder, if any, shall be
paid first to reimburse the Underwriter
for all amounts paid hereunder with
respect to such loss and then to the
Insured to the extent of the portion
of such loss within the Deductible Amount.
The Insured shall execute all documents
which the Underwriter deems necessary or
desirable to secure to the Underwriter the
rights provided for herein.

SECTION 9.	NON-REDUCTION
AND NON-ACCUMULATION OF LIABILITY
AND TOTAL LIABILITY

Prior to its termination, this Bond shall
continue in force up to the Limit of
Liability for each Insuring Agreement
for each Single Loss, notwithstanding any
previous loss (other than such Single Loss)
for which the Underwriter may have paid or be
liable to pay hereunder; PROVIDED, however,
that regardless of the number of years this
Bond shall continue in force and the number
of premiums which shall be payable or paid,
the liability of the Underwriter under this
Bond with respect to any Single Loss shall
be limited to the applicable Limit of
Liability irrespective of the total amount
of such Single Loss and shall not be cumulative
in amounts from year to year or from period to
period.

SECTION 10.  MAXIMUM LIABILITY OF UNDERWRITER;
OTHER BONDS OR POLICIES

The maximum liability of the Underwriter for
any Single Loss covered by any Insuring Agreement
under this Bond shall be the Limit of
Liability applicable to such Insuring
Agreement, subject to the applicable
Deductible Amount and the other provisions
of this Bond.  Recovery for any Single
Loss may not be made under more than
one Insuring Agreement.  If any Single
Loss covered under this Bond is recoverable
or recovered in whole or in part because
of an unexpired discovery period under
any other bonds or policies issued by
the Underwriter to the Insured or to
any predecessor in interest of the Insured,
the maximum liability of the Underwriter
shall be the greater of either (1) the
applicable Limit of Liability under
this Bond, or (2) the maximum liability
of the Underwriter under such other
bonds or policies.

SECTION 11.  OTHER INSURANCE

Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary herein, if any loss covered
by this Bond shall also be covered
by other insurance or suretyship for
the benefit of the Insured, the
Underwriter shall be liable hereunder
only for the portion of such loss in
excess of the amount recoverable under
 such other insurance or suretyship,
but not exceeding the applicable Limit
of Liability of this Bond.



SECTION 12.  DEDUCTIBLE AMOUNT

The Underwriter shall not be liable
under any Insuring Agreement unless
the amount of the loss covered
thereunder, after deducting the net
amount of all reimbursement and/or
recovery received by the Insured with
respect to such loss (other than from
any other bond, suretyship or insurance
policy or as an advance by the
Underwriter hereunder) shall exceed the
applicable Deductible Amount;
in such case the Underwriter shall be
liable only for such excess, subject
to the applicable Limit of Liability
and the other terms of this Bond.

No Deductible Amount shall apply to any
loss covered under Insuring Agreement
A sustained by any Investment Company
named as an Insured.

SECTION 13.  TERMINATION

The Underwriter may terminate this
Bond as to any Insured or all Insureds
only by written notice to such Insured
or Insureds and, if this Bond is
terminated as to any Investment Company,
to each such Investment Company
terminated thereby and to the Securities
and Exchange Commission, Washington, D.C.,
in all cases not less than sixty (60)
days prior to the effective date of
termination specified in such notice.

The Insured may terminate this Bond only
by written notice to the Underwriter not less
than sixty (60) days prior to the effective
date of the termination specified in such notice.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, when the
Insured terminates this Bond as to any
Investment Company, the effective date
of termination shall be not less than
sixty (60) days from the date the
Underwriter provides written notice
of the termination to each such
Investment Company terminated thereby
and to the Securities and Exchange
Commission, Washington, D.C.

This Bond will terminate as to any
Insured that is a Non-Fund immediately
and without notice upon (1) the
takeover of such Insureds business
by any State or Federal official or
agency, or by any receiver or liquidator,
or (2) the filing of a petition under
any State or Federal statute relative
to bankruptcy or reorganization of the
Insured, or assignment for the benefit
of creditors of the Insured.

Premiums are earned until the effective
date of termination.  The Underwriter shall
refund the unearned premium computed at
short rates in accordance with the Underwriters
standard short rate cancellation tables
if this Bond is terminated by the Insured
or pro rata if this Bond is terminated by the
Underwriter.

Upon the detection by any Insured that an
Employee has committed any Dishonest or
Fraudulent Act(s) or Theft, the Insured shall
immediately remove such Employee from a
position that may enable such Employee to
cause the Insured to suffer a loss by any
subsequent Dishonest or Fraudulent Act(s)
or Theft.  The Insured, within two
(2) business days of such detection,
shall notify the Underwriter with full
and complete particulars of the detected
Dishonest or Fraudulent Act(s) or Theft.

For purposes of this section, detection
occurs when any partner, officer, or supervisory
employee of any Insured, who is not in
collusion with such Employee, becomes
aware that the Employee has committed
any Dishonest or Fraudulent Act(s) or Theft.

This Bond shall terminate as to any
Employee by written notice from the
Underwriter to each Insured and, if such
Employee is an Employee of an Insured
Investment Company, to the Securities and
Exchange Commission, in all cases not
less than sixty (60) days prior to the
effective date of termination specified
in such notice.

SECTION 14.  RIGHTS AFTER TERMINATION

At any time prior to the effective date of termination
of this Bond as to any Insured, such Insured may, by
written notice to the Underwriter, elect to
purchase the right under this Bond to an additional
period of twelve (12) months within which
to discover loss sustained by such Insured prior to
the effective date of such termination and shall
pay an additional premium therefor as the Underwriter
may require.

Such additional discovery period shall terminate
immediately and without notice upon the takeover
of such Insureds business by any State or Federal
official or agency, or by any receiver or liquidator.
Promptly after such termination the Underwriter
shall refund to the Insured any unearned premium.

The right to purchase such additional discovery
period may not be exercised by any State or Federal
official or agency, or by any receiver or liquidator,
acting or appointed to take over the Insureds business.

SECTION 15.  CENTRAL HANDLING OF SECURITIES

The Underwriter shall not be liable for loss in
connection with the central handling of securities
within the systems established and maintained by
any Depository (Systems), unless the amount of
such loss exceeds the amount recoverable or
recovered under any bond or policy or participants'
fund insuring the Depository against such loss
(the Depositorys Recovery); in such case the
Underwriter shall be liable hereunder only for
the Insureds share of such excess loss, subject
to the applicable Limit of Liability, the
Deductible Amount and the other terms of this Bond.

For determining the Insureds share of such excess loss,
(1) the Insured shall be deemed to have an interest in
any certificate representing any security
included within the Systems equivalent to the interest
the Insured then has in all certificates
representing the same security included within the
Systems; (2) the Depository shall have reasonably
and fairly apportioned the Depositorys Recovery
among all those having an interest as recorded by
appropriate entries in the books and records of
the Depository in Property involved in such loss,
so that each such interest shall share in the
Depositorys Recovery in the ratio that the value
of each such interest bears to the total value of
all such interests; and (3) the Insureds share of
such excess loss shall be the amount of the Insureds
interest in such Property in excess of
the amount(s) so apportioned to the Insured by the
Depository.

This Bond does not afford coverage in favor of
any Depository or Exchange or any nominee in whose name
is registered any security included within
the Systems.

SECTION 16.  ADDITIONAL COMPANIES INCLUDED AS INSURED

If more than one entity is named as the Insured:

A.	the total liability of the Underwriter
hereunder for each Single Loss shall not exceed the
Limit of Liability which would be applicable if
there were only one named Insured, regardless of the
number of Insured entities which sustain loss as
a result of such Single Loss,

B.	the Insured first named in Item 1 of the
Declarations shall be deemed authorized to make, adjust,
and settle, and receive and enforce
payment of, all claims hereunder as the agent of each
other Insured for such purposes and for the
giving or receiving of any notice required or permitted
to be given hereunder; provided, that the Underwriter
shall promptly furnish each named Insured Investment Company
with (1) a copy of this Bond
and any amendments thereto, (2) a copy of each formal filing
of a claim hereunder by any other
Insured, and (3) notification of the terms of the settlement
of each such claim prior to the execution
of such settlement,

C.	the Underwriter shall not be responsible or
have any liability for the proper application by the
Insured first named in Item 1 of the Declarations
of any payment made hereunder to the first named Insured,

D.	for the purposes of Sections 4 and 13,
knowledge possessed or discovery made by any partner, officer
or supervisory Employee of any Insured shall
constitute knowledge or discovery by every named Insured,

E.	if the first named Insured ceases for any
reason to be covered under this Bond, then the Insured next
named shall thereafter be considered
as the first named Insured for the purposes of this Bond, and

F.	each named Insured shall constitute
"the Insured" for all purposes of this Bond.

SECTION 17.  NOTICE AND CHANGE OF CONTROL

Within thirty (30) days after learning that
there has been a change in control of an Insured by transfer
of its outstanding voting securities
the Insured shall give written notice to the Underwriter of:

A.	the names of the transferors and transferees
(or the names of the beneficial owners if the voting securities
are registered in another name), and

B.	the total number of voting securities owned
by the transferors and the transferees (or the beneficial owners),
both immediately before and
after the transfer, and

C.	the total number of outstanding voting
securities.

As used in this Section, "control" means the
power to exercise a controlling influence over the
management or policies of the Insured.

SECTION 18.  CHANGE OR MODIFICATION

This Bond may only be modified by written Rider
forming a part hereof over the signature of the
Underwriters authorized representative.  Any
Rider which modifies the coverage provided by
Insuring Agreement A, Fidelity, in a manner which
adversely affects the rights of an Insured Investment
Company shall not become effective until at
least sixty (60) days after the Underwriter has given
written notice thereof to the Securities and
Exchange Commission, Washington, D.C., and to each
Insured Investment Company affected thereby.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Underwriter has caused
this Bond to be executed on the Declarations Page.

Bond, it is hereby understood and agreed that
notwithstanding Section 2.Q of this Bond, this
Bond is amended by adding an additional Insuring
Agreement J as follows:

J.	COMPUTER SECURITY

Loss (including loss of Property) resulting
directly from Computer Fraud; provided, that
the Insured has adopted in writing and generally
maintains and follows during the Bond Period all
Computer Security Procedures.  The isolated failure
of the Insured to maintain and follow a particular

Agreement, subject to the specific exclusions herein
and in the Bond.

Insuring Agreement shall have the following meanings:

a.	"Authorized User" means any person or entity
designated by the Insured (through contract, assignment

or any other person; and

(3)	causes (x) Property to be transferred, paid or
delivered; or (y) an account of the Insured, or of its
customer, to be added, deleted, debited or
credited; or (z) an unauthorized or fictitious account
to be debited or credited.

c.	Computer Security Procedures means procedures
for prevention of unauthorized computer access and use
and administration of computer access
and use as provided in writing to the Underwriter.

d.	"Covered Computer System" means any Computer
System as to which the Insured has possession, custody
and control.

e.	"Unauthorized Third Party" means any person
or entity that, at the time of the Computer Fraud,
is not an Authorized User.

f.	"User Identification" means any unique user
name (i.e., a series of characters) that is assigned
to a person or entity by the Insured.

2.	Exclusions.  It is further understood and
agreed that this Insuring Agreement J shall not cover:

a.	Any loss covered under Insuring Agreement A,
"Fidelity," of this Bond; and

b.	Any loss resulting directly or indirectly
from Theft or misappropriation of confidential or
proprietary information, material or data (including
but not limited to trade secrets, computer programs
or customer information); and

c.	Any loss resulting from the intentional failure
to adhere to one or more Computer Security Procedures; and

d.	Any loss resulting from a Computer Fraud
committed by or in collusion with:

(1)	any Authorized User (whether a natural
person or an entity); or

(2)	in the case of any Authorized User which
is an entity, (a) any director, officer, partner,
employee or agent of such Authorized User, or (b)
any entity which controls, is controlled by, or is
under common control with such Authorized User
(Related Entity), or (c) any director, officer,
partner, employee or agent of such Related Entity; or

(3)	in the case of any Authorized User who is a
natural person, (a) any entity for which such Authorized
User is a director, officer, partner,
employee or agent (Employer Entity), or (b)
any director, officer, partner, employee or agent of such
Employer Entity, or (c) any entity which controls, is
controlled by, or is under common control
with such Employer Entity (Employer-Related Entity),
or (d) any director, officer, partner,
employee or agent of such Employer-Related Entity;

and

e.	Any loss resulting from physical damage to or
destruction of any Covered Computer System, or any part
thereof, or any data, data elements or media
associated therewith; and

f.	Any loss resulting from Computer Fraud committed
by means of wireless access to any Covered Computer System,
or any part thereof, or any data, data
elements or media associated therewith; and

g.	Any loss not directly and proximately caused by
Computer Fraud (including, without limitation, disruption
of business and extra expense); and

gh.	Payments made to any person(s) who has threatened to
deny or has denied authorized access to a Covered Computer
System or otherwise has threatened to
disrupt the business of the Insured.

For purposes of this Insuring Agreement, "Single Loss,"
as defined in Section 1.X of this Bond, shall also include
all loss caused by Computer Fraud(s)
committed by one person, or in which one person is
implicated, whether or not that person is

Most property and casualty insurers, including ICI
Mutual Insurance Company (ICI Mutual), are subject
to the requirements of the Terrorism Risk
Insurance Act of 2002 (the Act).  The Act establishes
a Federal insurance backstop under
which ICI Mutual and these other insurers will be
partially reimbursed for future insured losses
resulting from certified acts of terrorism.
(Each of these bolded terms is defined by the Act.)
The Act also places certain disclosure and other
obligations on ICI Mutual and these other
insurers.

Pursuant to the Act, any future losses to ICI
Mutual caused by certified acts of terrorism will
be partially reimbursed by the United States
government under a formula established by the Act.
Under this formula, the United States government
will reimburse ICI Mutual for 90% of ICI Mutuals
insured losses in excess of a statutorily
established deductible until total insured losses
of all participating insurers reach $100 billion.
If total insured losses of all property and
casualty insurers reach $100 billion during any
applicable period, the Act provides that the
insurers will not be liable under their policies
for their portions of such losses that exceed
such amount.  Amounts otherwise payable under
this bond may be reduced as a result.

This bond has no express exclusion for acts of terrorism.
However, coverage under this bond remains subject to
all applicable terms, conditions and limitations
of the bond  (including exclusions) that are
permissible under the Act.  The portion of the
premium that is attributable to any coverage
potentially available under the bond for
acts of terrorism is one percent (1%).

In consideration of the premium charged for this Bond,
it is hereby understood and agreed that, Section 13.
is hereby amended to read as follows:

SECTION 13.  TERMINATION

The Underwriter may terminate this Bond as to any
Insured or all Insureds only by written notice to
such Insured or Insureds and, if this Bond is
terminated as to any Investment Company, to each
such Investment Company terminated thereby and to the
Securities and Exchange Commission, Washington, D.C.,
in all cases not less than sixty (60) days
prior to the effective date of termination specified
in such notice.

The Insured may terminate this Bond only by written
notice to the Underwriter not less than sixty (60)
days prior to the effective date of the
termination specified in such notice.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, when the Insured
terminates this Bond as to any Investment
Company, the effective date of termination
shall be not less than sixty (60)
days from the date the Underwriter provides
written notice of the termination to each such
Investment Company terminated thereby and to
the Securities and Exchange Commission, Washington, D.C.

This Bond will terminate as to any Insured that is a
Non-Fund immediately and without notice upon (1)
the takeover of such Insureds business by any
State or Federal official or agency, or by any
receiver or liquidator, or (2) the filing of a petition
under any State or Federal statute relative to
bankruptcy or reorganization of the Insured, or
assignment for the benefit of creditors of the Insured.

Premiums are earned until the effective date of
termination.  The Underwriter shall refund the
unearned premium computed pro rata if this Bond is
terminated by the Insured or  by the Underwriter.
However, in the event the Underwriter has received
any notice under Section 4. of this Bond,  no return
of unearned premium shall be due if this Bond
is cancelled by the Insured.

Upon the detection by any Insured that an Employee
has committed any Dishonest or Fraudulent Act(s)
or Theft, the Insured shall immediately remove such
Employee from a position that may enable such
Employee to cause the Insured to suffer a loss by
any subsequent Dishonest or Fraudulent Act(s) or Theft.
The Insured, within two (2) business days
of such detection, shall notify the Underwriter
with full and complete particulars of the detected
Dishonest or Fraudulent Act(s) or Theft.

For purposes of this section, detection occurs when
any partner, officer, or supervisory employee of any
Insured, who is not in collusion with such
Employee, becomes aware that the Employee has
committed any Dishonest or Fraudulent Act(s) or
Theft.

This Bond shall terminate as to any Employee by
written notice from the Underwriter to each
Insured and, if such Employee is an Employee of an
Insured Investment Company, to the Securities
and Exchange Commission, in all cases not less
than sixty (60) days prior to the effective date
of termination specified in such notice.

  WHEREAS, the above named registered investment companies (the Funds),
investment advisers and distributor (jointly referred to as the Insureds)
are joint named Insureds under a bond issued by ICI Mutual Insurance
Company (the Bond);
  WHEREAS, Rule 17g 1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 requires
that each registered investment company named as an insured on a joint
insured bond enter into an agreement with the other named Insureds
containing certain provisions regarding the respective shares to be
received by said Insured in the event recovery is received under the
joint insured bond as a result of a loss sustained by them;
  NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto, in consideration of the premises
and the mutual covenants contained herein, hereby agree as follows:
  1.	Joint Insured Bond.  The Insureds shall maintain in effect a
joint fidelity insurance Bond from one or more reputable fidelity
insurance companies which shall be authorized to do business in
the place where the Bond is issued, insuring the Insureds against
larceny and embezzlement and covering such of their officers and
employees who may, singly or jointly with others, have access,
directly or indirectly, to their securities or funds.  The Bond
shall name each party as an insured and shall comply with the
requirements of such bonds established by Rule 17g1.
  2.	Allocation of Premium.  Each party hereto shall pay a percentage
of the total premium of the bonds which equals the portion of the
aggregate amount of coverage allocated to such party.
  3.	Allocation of Proceeds.
    (a)  If one or more parties sustain a single loss for which recovery
is received under the Bond, each party shall receive that portion
of the recovery which is sufficient in amount to indemnify that party
in full for the loss sustained by it, unless the recovery is inadequate
to fully indemnify all parties sustaining a single loss.
    (b)  If the recovery is inadequate to indemnify fully all parties
sustaining a single loss, the recovery shall be allocated among the
parties as follows:
        (i)  Each party except Merrill Lynch Investment Managers, L.P.,
Fund Asset Management, L.P., Merrill Lynch Asset Management U.K.
Limited, Merrill Lynch Investment Managers International Limited,
Merrill Lynch Investment Managers, LLC and FAM Distributors, Inc
sustaining a loss shall be allocated an amount equal to the lesser
of its actual loss or the minimum amount of the fidelity Bond coverage
which would be required to be maintained by such party under a single
insured bond (determined as of the time of the loss in accordance with
the provisions of Rule 17g1).  Merrill Lynch Investment Managers, L.P.,
Fund Asset Management, L.P., Merrill Lynch Asset Management U.K. Limited,
Merrill Lynch Investment Managers International Limited, and FAM Distributors,
Inc shall be allocated an amount equal to the lesser of its actual loss or
$2,500,000; Merrill Lynch Investment Managers, LLC shall be allocated an
amount equal to the lesser of its actual loss or $525,000; and
         (ii)  The remaining portion of the recovery (if any) shall be
allocated to each party sustaining a loss not fully indemnified by the
allocation under subparagraph (i) in the same proportion as the portion
of each party's loss which is not fully indemnified bears to the sum of
the unindemnified losses of all parties.  If such allocation would result
in any party's receiving a portion of the recovery in excess of the
loss actually sustained by it, the aggregate of such excess portion
shall be reallocated to the other parties whose losses would not be fully
indemnified as a result of the foregoing allocation.
  4.	Claims and Settlements.	Each party shall, within ten days after
the making of any claim under the Bond, provide the other parties with
written notice of the amount and nature of such claim.  Each party shall,
within ten days after the receipt thereof, provide the other parties
with written notice of the terms of settlement of any claim made under
the Bond by such party.
  5.	Modifications and Withdrawal.  Each party hereby consents to
additional investment companies advised by Merrill Lynch Investment
Managers, L.P., Fund Asset Management, L.P., Merrill Lynch Asset
Management U.K. Limited, Merrill Lynch Investment Managers International
Limited, or Merrill Lynch Investment Managers, LLC being named as a
joint insured under the Bond and this Agreement.  If pursuant to Rule
17g 1 any party shall determine that the coverage described herein should
otherwise be modified, it shall so notify the other parties hereto,
indicating the nature of the modification which it believes to be
appropriate.  This Agreement shall be so modified with the written
consent of a majority of the parties.  Any party may withdraw from
this Agreement that any time and cease to be a party hereto
(except with respect to losses occurring prior to such withdrawal)
by giving not less than thirty days prior written notice to the other
parties of such withdrawal.  Upon withdrawal,such party shall
cease to be a named insured on the Bond an shall be entitled
to receive any premium rebated by the fidelity company with respect
to such withdrawal.
  6.	Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of New Jersey.
  7.	No Assignment.  This Agreement is not assignable.
  8.	Notices.  All Notices and other communications hereunder
shall be in writing and shall be addressed to the appropriate
party at P.O. Box 9011, Princeton, NJ  08543 9011.
  IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each of the parties hereto had duly
executed this Agreement as of the day and year first written above.

to Rule 17g-1 under the 1940 Act shall be reallocated from time to time to
allow for changes during the policy year arising from the addition of joint
insureds to the bond, the growth or loss of gross assets of the Fund during the
year requiring additional or reduced coverage in accordance with Rule 17g-1
(d) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act),
or the liquidation or merger of named insureds; and

FURTHER RESOLVED, that the following practices are hereby adopted as the
procedures for allocating and reallocating fidelity bond premium expense
among the named joint insureds:  (i) the joint fidelity bond premium expense
allocated to each named insured will be based on the amount of coverage
assigned to each named insured from time to time, and (ii) coverage for
the Fund under the joint insured bond will be based on the amount of
coverage required by Rule 17g-1 (d) under the 1940 Act from time to time
plus additional coverage to allow for reasonable growth of the Fund; and

FURTHER RESOLVED, that the proper officers of the Fund be, and each hereby
is, authorized and directed to implement the foregoing procedures by, among
other things:  (i) monitoring the amount of fidelity bond coverage assigned
to the Fund and, if necessary, increasing or decreasing such coverage to
comply with the Boards procedures, and (ii) if necessary, reallocating the
joint fidelity bond expense in accordance with the foregoing procedures
for allocating the premium adopted by the Board; and

FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Secretary is hereby designated as the officer
responsible for making the necessary filings and giving the notices with
respect to such bond required by paragraph (g) of Rule 17g-1 under the
1940 Act; and

FURTHER RESOLVED, that the proper officers of the Fund are authorized
and directed to take such action as they deem it necessary and appropriate
with respect to obtaining additional fidelity bond coverage as they deem
it becomes necessary or appropriate pursuant to Rule 17g-1 under the
1940 Act.
