The Board of the above referenced Registrant approved
adding a non-fundamental investment policy prohibiting
the Registrant from investing in defaulted securities or in
the securities of an issuer that is in bankruptcy at the time
of investment. There is an exception to this prohibition,
where, pursuant to the Sub-Advisers policy regarding
municipal workouts, the Registrant may invest in
defaulted securities from an issuer of a security it already
owns, or some other party, to help facilitate a favorable
resolution to a municipal workout.
