Notes to the Schedule of Investments (unaudited)

Security valuation

Securities in the Fund’s portfolio are valued at amortized cost, in accordance with Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act, as amended, which approximates market value. The amortized cost method involves valuing a security at its cost on the date of purchase and thereafter assuming a constant amortization to maturity of the difference between the principal amount due at maturity and the cost of the security to the Fund. Interest income is accrued daily and included in interest receivable.

Fair Value Measurements

The Fund use a three-tier hierarchy to prioritize the assumptions, referred to as inputs, used in valuation techniques to measure fair value. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs and the valuation techniques used are summarized below:

Level 1 Exchange traded prices in active markets for identical securities. This technique is used for exchange-traded domestic common and preferred equities, certain foreign equities, warrants, rights, options and futures. In addition, investment companies, including mutual funds, are valued using this technique.

Level 2 — Prices determined using significant observable inputs. Observable inputs may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk. Prices for securities valued using these techniques are received from independent pricing vendors and are based on an evaluation of the inputs described. These techniques are used for certain domestic preferred equities, certain foreign equities, unlisted rights and warrants, and fixed income securities. Also, over-the-counter derivative contracts, including swaps, foreign forward currency contracts, and certain options use these techniques.

Level 3 — Prices determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable, such as when there is little or no market activity for an investment, unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s Pricing Committee’s own assumptions about the factors that market participants would use in pricing an investment and would be based on the best information available. Securities using this technique are generally thinly traded or privately placed, and may be valued using broker quotes, which may not only use observable or unobservable inputs but may also include the use of the brokers’ own judgments about the assumptions that market participants would use.

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s net assets as of June 30, 2009:

Investments in Securities         
  Level 1   Level 2   Level 3  Totals 
Asset Backed Securities  -  $8,000,000  -  $8,000,000 
Commercial Papers  -  121,347,667  -  121,347,667 
Corporate Interest-Bearing Obligations  -  315,702,077  -  315,702,077 
Total Investment in Securities  - $ 445,049,744  - $ 445,049,744 

Fixed income risk

6 


Fixed income including short-term money market investments or debt instruments securities are subject to credit and interest rate risk and involve some risk of default in connection with principal and interest payments.

Sector risk

The Fund may concentrate investments in a particular industry, sector of the economy or invest in a limited number of companies. The concentration is closely tied to a single sector of the economy which may cause the Fund to underperform other sectors. Specifically, financial services companies can be hurt by economic declines, changes in interest rates, regulatory and market impacts. Accordingly, the concentration may make the Fund’s value more volatile and investment values may rise and fall more rapidly.
