Fair Valuation Accounting Standards at March 31, 2011
               
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 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Fund has the ability to access.
     
Level 2 - Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These inputs may
include quoted prices for the identical instrument on an inactive market, prices for similar instruments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves,
 
default rates and similar data.
             
Level 3 - Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, to the extent relevant observable inputs are not available, representing the Fund's own assumptions
 
about the assumptions a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability, and would be based on the best information available.
   
               
The availability of observable inputs can vary from security to security and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of security,
 
whether the security is new and not yet established in the marketplace, the liquidity of markets, and other characteristics particular to the security.
 
To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more
 
judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3.
     
               
The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value
 
hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls in its entirety, is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value
 
measurement in its entirety.
             
               
The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Portfolio's net assets as of March 31, 2011:
         
 
   
Level 1
   
Level 2
   
Level 3

In January, 2010, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-06, "Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements" ("ASU 2010-06").
ASU 2010-06 requires disclosures regarding transfers in and out of Levels 1 and 2 as well as additional details regarding Level 3 transaction activity.
For the period ended March 31, 2011, there were no transfers into or out of Level 1 or Level 2 or transaction activity to report.
