Management of the Funds is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over

f inancial reporting. In fulf illing this responsibility, estimates and judgments by management are required to assesstheexpectedbenefitsandrelatedcostsofcontrols.Afund’sinternalcontroloverfinancialreportingisa process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of f inancial reporting and the preparation of f inancial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles(GAAP).Afund’sinternalcontroloverfinancialreportingincludes thosepoliciesandproceduresthat

(1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the fund; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of f inancial statements in accordance with GAAP, and that receipts and expenditures of the fund are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and trustees of the fund; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of a fund’s assets that could have a material effect on the f inancial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over f inancial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

A deficiency in internal control over f inancial reporting exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent or detect misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over f inancial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Funds’ annual or interim f inancial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
