Information regarding FAS 157

 

The Fund has adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, or FAS 157, effective January 1, 2008. In accordance with FAS 157, fair value is defined as the price that the Fund would receive upon selling an investment in a timely transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market of the investment. FAS 157 established a three tier hierarchy to maximize the use of observable market data and minimize the use of unobservable inputs and to establish classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk, for example, the risk inherent in a particular valuation technique used to measure fair value including such a pricing model and/or the risk inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. Inputs may be observable or unobservable. Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. 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, credit risk, etc.)

·                  Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

 

The valuation techniques used by the Fund to measure fair value during the three months ended March 31, 2008, maximized the use of observable inputs and minimized the use of unobservable inputs. The Fund utilized broker quotes, company financial information and other market indicators to value the securities whose prices were not readily available.

 

The following is a summary of the inputs used as of March 31, 2008, in valuing the Fund’s investments carried at value:
