Through its investments in the Underlying Portfolios, the Strategy currently has exposure to investments collateralized by subprime mortgage loans. Subprime loans are offered to homeowners who do not have a history of debt or who have had problems meeting their debt obligations. Because repayment is less certain, subprime borrowers pay a higher rate of interest than prime borrowers. As of November 30, 2007, the Strategy’s total exposure to subprime investments was 1.54%. These investments are valued in accordance with the Underlying Portfolio’s Valuation Policies.
