The Portfolio did not have any open financial instruments at November 30, 2009.
 
The cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments of the Portfolio at November 30, 2009, as determined on a federal income tax basis, were as follows:
 
         
Aggregate cost
  $ 109,273,298  
         
Gross unrealized appreciation
  $ 36,809,029  
Gross unrealized depreciation
    (5,237,699 )
         
Net unrealized appreciation
  $ 31,571,330  
         
 
Under generally accepted accounting principles for fair value measurements, a three-tier hierarchy to prioritize the assumptions, referred to as inputs, is used in valuation techniques to measure fair value. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized in the three broad levels listed below.
 
  •   Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
 
  •   Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
 
  •   Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including a fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
 
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
 
At November 30, 2009, the inputs used in valuing the Portfolio’s investments, which are carried at value, were as follows:
 
                                 
    Quoted Prices in

Under generally accepted accounting principles for fair value measurements, a three-tier hierarchy to prioritize the assumptions, referred to as inputs, is used in valuation techniques to measure fair value. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized in the three broad levels listed below.
 
  •   Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
 
  •   Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
 
  •   Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including a fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
 
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

Under generally accepted accounting principles for fair value measurements, a three-tier hierarchy to prioritize the assumptions, referred to as inputs, is used in valuation techniques to measure fair value. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized in the three broad levels listed below.
 
  •   Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
 
  •   Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
 
  •   Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including a fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
 
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
 
At November 30, 2009, the inputs used in valuing the Portfolio’s investments, which are carried at value, were as follows:

Under generally accepted accounting principles for fair value measurements, a three-tier hierarchy to prioritize the assumptions, referred to as inputs, is used in valuation techniques to measure fair value. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized in the three broad levels listed below.
 
  •   Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
 
  •   Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
 
  •   Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including a fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
 
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
 
At November 30, 2009, the inputs used in valuing the Portfolio’s investments, which are carried at value, were as follows:

Under generally accepted accounting principles for fair value measurements, a three-tier hierarchy to prioritize the assumptions, referred to as inputs, is used in valuation techniques to measure fair value. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized in the three broad levels listed below.
 
  •   Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
 
  •   Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
 
  •   Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including a fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
 
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
 
At November 30, 2009, the inputs used in valuing the Portfolio’s investments, which are carried at value, were as follows:
