FAS 157 – Summary of Fair Value Exposure at December 31, 2008

The Fund adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS 157”), effective with the beginning of the Fund’s fiscal year.  SFAS 157 establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurements) when market prices are not readily available or reliable.

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.
Level 2 – Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
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 to value the Fund’s securities as of December 31, 2008:
