Fair Value Measurements
           
Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund's investments. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels.
Level 1 Includes quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. Level 2 Includes other significant observable inputs
(including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds and credit risk). Level 3 Includes significant
unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments). The level assigned to the
securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities.
   
             
The Fund did not hold any investments during the period with significant unobservable inputs which would be classified as Level 3.
