MARCH 31, 2008


A Letter to Shareholders

Dear Shareholder

Financial markets endured severe bouts of volatility during the reporting period, particularly as the calendar turned to

2008. It was then that fears of an economic recession swelled and credit market strains intensified, producing calamity

in the financial system and, ultimately, the demise of major Wall Street firm Bear Stearns.

The Federal Reserve Board (the “Fed”), after cutting the target federal funds rate 100 basis points (1%) between

September 2007 and year-end, stepped up its efforts to support the ailing financial sector in the first three months of

2008. The central bank cut interest rates 125 basis points in January alone, and followed with another 75-basis-point

cut on March 18, bringing the target rate to 2.25% . In an unprecedented move, the Fed also extended its financing

operations directly to broker/dealers and assisted JPMorgan in its buyout of ill-fated Bear Stearns.

Against this backdrop, investor anxiety has been acute and equity markets have struggled. The S&P 500 Index of U.S.

stocks was down in March, marking the fifth consecutive month of negative returns. International markets outperformed

the U.S. for much of 2007, but that trend changed in more recent months as investors grew increasingly reluctant to

take on the risks of foreign investing.

In fixed income markets, an ongoing investor flight to quality continued to drive Treasury yields lower and their prices

higher. The yield on 10-year Treasury issues, which touched 5.30% in June 2007 (its highest level in five years), fell to

4.04% by year-end and to 3.45% by March 31. Investors largely shunned bonds associated with the housing and credit

markets, and the riskier high yield sector landed in negative territory year-to-date. Meanwhile, the municipal bond market

has struggled with concerns around the creditworthiness of monoline bond insurers and the failure of auctions for

auction rate securities, driving yields higher and prices lower across the curve. At period-end, municipal bonds were

trading at higher yields than their Treasury counterparts, a very unusual occurrence by historical standards.

Overall, the major benchmark indexes posted mixed results for the current reporting period, generally reflecting height-

ened investor risk aversion:

Fund Summary

Portfolio Management Commentary

How did the Fund perform?
The Fund’s returns lagged that of the benchmark Lehman Brothers
U.S. Corporate High Yield 2% Issuer Cap Index for the six-month period.

What factors influenced performance?
The fixed income markets were volatile during the semi-annual period,
with all spread sectors underperforming U.S. Treasuries amid a continued
investor flight to quality. The Treasury market rallied in reaction to weak
economic activity and ongoing strains within the financial sector stem-
ming from continued write-downs of mortgage-related securities. Over
the course of the six months, the yield on the 10-year Treasury note fell
from 4.59% to 3.45%, as prices correspondingly rose.

The main driver of the Fund’s underperformance during the period was
the Fund’s large allocation to floating-rate bank loan securities, which
declined amid a supply/demand imbalance, forced hedge fund liquida-
tions, and a drop in the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”). An
underweight in BB-rated credits and an overweight in CCC-rated credits
also detracted from performance, as BB-rated issues outperformed
lower-rated securities.

Conversely, the Fund’s cash allocation proved advantageous in a declin-
ing market. Security selection in financials and an underweight relative
to the benchmark in the gaming sector also benefited performance.

Describe recent portfolio activity.
During the period, we increased the Fund’s exposure to floating-rate
bank loan securities. While they have weakened recently, we believe
bank loans offer tremendous value and are somewhat less vulnerable
to the economic slowdown in comparison to many issuers of high
yield securities.

We also reduced the Fund’s high yield exposure over the period and
built a sizeable cash position, which would allow us to take advantage
of quality credits that had depreciated with the market.

Finally, we reduced the Fund’s small overweight in B-rated credits and
ended the period with a small underweight.

Describe Fund positioning at period-end.
At period-end, the Fund held a considerable underweight relative to the
benchmark in BB-rated issues, a small underweight in B-rated securities,
and a small overweight in CCC-rated issues. The Fund maintained over-
weight positions in the wireless telecommunications, media — non-cable
and paper sectors, while it was underweight in home construction,
electric utilities and healthcare. At March 31, 2008, the Fund had an
average credit rating of B, with a 9.45% yield.

Although turbulence in the high yield market is expected to continue on
account of weaker company earnings and the potential for increased
defaults, we believe the Fund is well positioned to mitigate these risks
and perform competitively.

  Total Return Based on a $10,000 Investment

* Assuming maximum sales charge, if any, transaction costs and other operating expenses, including advisory fees.
† The Fund invests principally in fixed income securities which are rated in the lower rating categories of the established rating services,
or in unrated securities of comparable quality.
This unmanaged market-weighted Index, which mirrors the high-yield debt market, is comprised of 423 securities rated BBB or below.
This unmanaged Index is comprised of issues that meet the following criteria: at least $150 million par value outstanding; maximum credit
rating of Ba1; at least one year to maturity; and no issuer represents more than 2% of the index. The Fund now uses this Index because it
best reflects the Fund’s investment strategies.

About Fund Performance

Institutional Shares are not subject to any sales charge. Institutional
Shares bear no ongoing distribution or service fees and are available
only to eligible investors.

Investor A Shares incur a maximum initial sales charge (front-end load)
of 4% and a service fee of 0.25% per year (but no distribution fee).

Investor B Shares are subject to a maximum contingent deferred sales
charge of 4% declining to 0% after six years. In addition, Investor B
Shares are subject to a distribution fee of 0.50% per year and a service
fee of 0.25% per year. These shares automatically convert to Investor A
Shares after approximately 10 years. (There is no initial sales charge for
automatic share conversions.)

Investor C Shares are subject to a distribution fee of 0.75% per year
and a service fee of 0.25% per year. In addition, Investor C Shares are
subject to a 1% contingent deferred sales charge if redeemed within
one year of purchase. Prior to October 2, 2006, Investor C Share
performance results are those of Institutional Shares (which have no
distribution or service fees) restated to reflect Investor C Share fees.

Investor C1 Shares are subject to a distribution fee of 0.55% per year
and a service fee of 0.25% per year. In addition, Investor C1 Shares are
subject to a 1% contingent deferred sales charge if redeemed within
one year of purchase.

Performance information reflects past performance and does not guar-
antee future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than
the performance data quoted. Refer to www.blackrock.com/funds to
obtain performance data current to the most recent month-end.
Performance results do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a share-
holder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares.
The Fund may charge a 2% redemption fee for sales or exchanges of
shares within 30 days of purchase or exchange. Performance data does
not reflect this potential fee. Figures shown in the performance tables
on page 5 assume reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distri-
butions, if any, at net asset value on the ex-dividend date. Investment
return and principal value of shares will fluctuate so that shares, when
redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Dividends
paid to each class of shares will vary because of the different levels of
service, distribution and transfer agency fees applicable to each class,
which are deducted from the income available to be paid to shareholders.

  Disclosure of Expenses

Shareholders of this Fund may incur the following charges: (a) expenses
related to transactions, including sales charges, redemption fees and
exchange fees; and (b) operating expenses including advisory fees,
distribution fees including 12b-1 fees, and other Fund expenses. The
expense example on page 5 (which is based on a hypothetical investment
of $1,000 invested on October 1, 2007 and held through March 31,
2008) is intended to assist shareholders both in calculating expenses
based on an investment in the Fund and in comparing these expenses
with similar costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The table provides information about actual account values and actual
expenses. In order to estimate the expenses a shareholder paid during
the period covered by this report, shareholders can divide their account
value by $1,000 and then multiply the result by the number correspon-
ding to their share class under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid
During the Period.”

  The table also provides information about hypothetical account values
and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio
and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses. In
order to assist shareholders in comparing the ongoing expenses of
investing in this Fund and other funds, compare the 5% hypothetical
example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in other funds’
shareholder reports.

The expenses shown in the table are intended to highlight shareholders’
ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional expenses, such
as sales charges, redemption fees or exchange fees. Therefore, the table
is useful in comparing ongoing expenses only, and will not help share-
holders determine the relative total expenses of owning different funds.
If these transactional expenses were included, shareholder expenses
would have been higher.

BLACKROCK HIGH INCOME FUND

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited)

1. Significant Accounting Policies:

BlackRock High Income Fund (the “Fund”), a series of BlackRock
Bond Fund, Inc. (the “Bond Fund”), is registered under the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended, (the “1940 Act”), as a diversified,
open-end management investment company. The Fund’s financial state-
ments are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America, which may require the use
of management accruals and estimates. Actual results may differ from
these estimates. The Fund offers multiple classes of shares. Institutional
Shares are sold without a sales charge and only to certain eligible
investors. Investor A Shares are sold with a front-end sales charge.
Investor B, Investor C and Investor C1 Shares may be subject to a con-
tingent deferred sales charge. All classes of shares have identical voting,
dividend, liquidation and other rights and the same terms and conditions,
except that Investor A, Investor B, Investor C and Investor C1 Shares
bear certain expenses related to the shareholder servicing of such shares,
and Investor B, Investor C and Investor C1 Shares also bear certain
expenses related to the distribution of such shares. Each class has
exclusive voting rights with respect to matters relating to its shareholder
servicing and distribution expenditures (except that Investor B sharehold-
ers may vote on material changes to the Investor A distribution plan).

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by
the Fund:

Valuation of Investments: The Fund values its corporate bond investments
on the basis of last available bid price or current market quotations pro-
vided by dealers or pricing services selected under the supervision of
the Fund’s Board of Directors (the “Board”). Floating rate loan interests
are valued at the mean between the last available bid prices from one
or more brokers or dealers as obtained from a pricing service. Swap
agreements are valued by quoted fair values received daily by the Fund’s
pricing service. Short-term securities may be valued at amortized cost.
Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at net asset
value each business day. In determining the value of a particular invest-
ment, pricing services may use certain information with respect to trans-
actions in such investments, quotations from dealers, pricing matrixes,
market transactions in comparable investments, various relationships
observed in the market between investments, and calculated yield
measures based on valuation technology commonly employed in the
market for such investments.

Equity investments traded on a national securities exchange or the
NASDAQ Global Market System are valued at the last reported sale price
that day or the NASDAQ official closing price, if applicable. Equity invest-
ments traded on a national exchange for which there were no sales on
that day and equity investments traded on over-the-counter (“OTC”)

markets for which market quotations are readily available are valued at
the last available bid price.

In the event that application of these methods of valuation results in a
price for an investment which is deemed not to be representative of the
market value of such investment, the investment will be valued by a
method approved by the Board as reflecting fair value (“Fair Value
Assets”). When determining the price for Fair Value Assets, the invest-
ment advisor and/or sub-advisor seeks to determine the price that the
Fund might reasonably expect to receive from the current sale of that
asset in an arm’s-length transaction. Fair value determinations shall
be based upon all available factors that the investment advisor and/or
sub-advisor deems relevant. The pricing of all Fair Value Assets is
subsequently reported to the Board or a committee thereof.

Generally, trading in foreign securities is substantially completed each
day at various times prior to the close of business on the New York
Stock Exchange (“NYSE”). The values of such securities used in comput-
ing the net assets of the Fund are determined as of such times. Foreign
currency exchange rates will generally be determined as of the close
of business on the NYSE. Occasionally, events affecting the values of
such securities and such exchange rates may occur between the times
at which they are determined and the close of business on the NYSE
that may not be reflected in the computation of the Fund’s net assets.
If events (for example, a company announcement, market volatility or a
natural disaster) occur during such periods that are expected to materi-
ally affect the value of such securities, those securities will be valued
at their fair value as determined in good faith by the Board or by
the investment advisor using a pricing service and/or procedures
approved by the Board.

Derivative Financial Instruments: The Fund may engage in various
portfolio investment strategies to increase the return of the Fund and
to hedge, or protect, its exposure to interest rate movements and move-
ments in the securities markets. Losses may arise if the value of the con-
tract decreases due to an unfavorable change in the price of the under-
lying security, or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract.

Credit Default Swaps — The Fund may invest in credit default swaps,
which are agreements in which one party pays fixed periodic pay-
ments to a counterparty in consideration for a guarantee from the
counterparty to make a specific payment should a negative credit
event take place. These periodic payments received or made by the
Fund are recorded in the accompanying Statement of Operations
as realized gains or losses, respectively. Gains or losses are also real-
ized upon termination of the swap agreements. Swaps are marked-
to-market daily and changes in value are recorded as unrealized

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

appreciation (depreciation). Risks arise from the possible inability of
the counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts. The Fund is
exposed to credit loss in the event of non-performance by the other
party to the swap.

Foreign Currency Transactions: Foreign currency amounts are translated
into United States dollars on the following basis: (i) market value of
investment securities, assets and liabilities at the current rate of
exchange; and (ii) purchases and sales of investment securities, income
and expenses at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates
of such transactions.

The Fund reports foreign currency related transactions as components
of realized gains for financial reporting purposes, whereas such compo-
nents are treated as ordinary income for federal income tax purposes.

Floating Rate Loans: The Fund invests in floating rate loans, which are
generally non-investment grade, made by banks, other financial institu-
tions and privately and publicly offered corporations. Floating rate loans
generally pay interest at rates that are periodically predetermined by
reference to a base lending rate plus a premium. The base lending
rates are generally (i) the lending rate offered by one or more European
banks, such as LIBOR (London InterBank Offered Rate), (ii) the prime
rate offered by one or more U.S. banks or (iii) the certificate of deposit
rate. The Fund considers these investments to be investments in debt
securities for purposes of its investment policies.

The Fund earns and/or pays facility and other fees on floating rate
loans. Other fees earned/paid include commitment, amendment, con-
sent, commissions and prepayment penalty fees. Facility, amendment
and consent fees are typically amortized as premium and/or accreted
as discount over the term of the loan. Commitment, commission and
various other fees are recorded as income or expense. Prepayment
penalty fees are recorded as gains or losses. When the Fund buys a
floating rate loan it may receive a facility fee and when it sells a floating
rate loan it may pay a facility fee. On an ongoing basis, a Fund may
receive a commitment fee based on the undrawn portion of the underly-
ing line of credit portion of a floating rate loan. In certain circumstances,
a Fund may receive a prepayment penalty fee upon the prepayment of a
floating rate loan by a borrower. Other fees received by a Fund may
include covenant waiver fees and covenant modification fees.

The Fund may invest in multiple series or tranches of a loan. A
different series or tranche may have varying terms and carry different
associated risks.

Floating rate loans are usually freely callable at the issuer’s option.
The Fund may invest in such loans in the form of participations in loans
(“Participations”) and assignments of all or a portion of loans from third
parties. Participations typically will result in the Fund having a contractu-
al relationship only with the lender, not with the borrower. The Fund will
have the right to receive payments of principal, interest and any fees to
which it is entitled only from the lender selling the Participation and only
upon receipt by the lender of the payments from the borrower.

In connection with purchasing Participations, the Fund generally will
have no right to enforce compliance by the borrower with the terms of
the loan agreement relating to the loans, nor any rights of offset against
the borrower, and the Fund may not benefit directly from any collateral
supporting the loan in which it has purchased the Participation.

As a result, the Fund will assume the credit risk of both the borrower and
the lender that is selling the Participation. The Fund’s investments in loan
participation interests involve the risk of insolvency of the financial inter-
mediaries who are parties to the transactions. In the event of the insol-
vency of the lender selling the Participation, the Fund may be treated as
a general creditor of the lender and may not benefit from any offset
between the lender and the borrower.

Preferred Stock: The Fund may invest in preferred stocks. Preferred
stock has a preference over common stock in liquidation (and generally
in receiving dividends as well) but is subordinated to the liabilities of
the issuer in all respects. As a general rule, the market value of preferred
stock with a fixed dividend rate and no conversion element varies
inversely with interest rates and perceived credit risk, while the market
price of convertible preferred stock generally also reflects some element
of conversion value. Because preferred stock is junior to debt securities
and other obligations of the issuer, deterioration in the credit quality of
the issuer will cause greater changes in the value of a preferred stock
than in a more senior debt security with similar stated yield characteris-
tics. Unlike interest payments on debt securities, preferred stock divi-
dends are payable only if declared by the issuer’s board of directors.
Preferred stock also may be subject to optional or mandatory redemp-
tion provisions.

Segregation: In cases in which the 1940 Act and the interpretive
positions of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) require
that the Fund segregate assets in connection with certain investments
(e.g., swaps), the Fund will, consistent with certain interpretive letters
issued by the SEC, designate on its books and records cash or other
liquid debt securities having a market value at least equal to the amount
that would otherwise be required to be physically segregated.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

Investment Transactions and Net Investment Income: Investment trans-
actions are recorded on the dates the transactions are entered into (the
trade dates). Realized gains and losses on security transactions are
determined on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded
on the ex-dividend dates. Interest income is recognized on the accrual
basis. The Fund amortizes all premiums and discounts on debt securi-
ties. Income and realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated
daily to each class based on its relative net assets.

Dividends and Distributions: Dividends from net investment income
are declared daily and paid monthly. Distributions of capital gains are
recorded on the ex-dividend dates.

Bank overdraft: The Fund recorded a bank overdraft, which resulted from
failing trades that settled the next day.

Income Taxes: It is the Fund’s policy to comply with the requirements of
the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment compa-
nies and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income to its share-
holders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.

Effective March 31, 2008, the Fund implemented Financial Account-
ing Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for
Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an interpretation of FASB Statement No.
109” (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 prescribes the minimum recognition threshold
a tax position must meet in connection with accounting for uncertainties
in income tax positions taken or expected to be taken by an entity,
including investment companies, before being measured and recognized
in the financial statements. The investment advisor has evaluated the
application of FIN 48 to the Fund, and has determined that the adoption
of FIN 48 did not have a material impact on the Fund’s financial state-
ments. The Fund files U.S. and various state tax returns. No income tax
returns are currently under examination. The statute of limitations on
the Fund’s tax returns remains open for the years ended September 30,
2004 through September 30, 2006. The statute of limitations on the
Fund’s state and local tax returns may remain open for an additional
year depending upon the jurisdiction.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements: In September 2006, Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”
(“FAS 157”), was issued and is effective for fiscal years beginning after
November 15, 2007. FAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a frame-
work for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value
measurements. The impact on the Fund’s financial statement disclo-
sures, if any, is currently being assessed.

In addition, in February 2007, Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and
Financial Liabilities” (“FAS 159”), was issued and is effective for fiscal
years beginning after November 15, 2007. Early adoption is permitted
as of the beginning of a fiscal year that begins on or before November
15, 2007, provided the entity also elects to apply the provisions of FAS
157. FAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial
instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not currently
required to be measured at fair value. FAS 159 also establishes presen-
tation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons
between entities that choose different measurement attributes for similar
types of assets and liabilities. The impact on the Fund’s financial state-
ment disclosures, if any, is currently being assessed.

In March 2008, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161,
“Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities — an
amendment of FASB Statement No. 133” (“FAS 161”) was issued and
is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. FAS 161
is intended to improve financial reporting for derivative instruments by
requiring enhanced disclosure that enables investors to understand how
and why an entity uses derivatives, how derivatives are accounted for,
and how derivative instruments affect an entity’s results of operations
and financial position. The investment advisor is currently evaluating the
implications of FAS 161 and the impact on the Fund’s financial state-
ment disclosures, if any, is currently being assessed.

Other: Expenses directly related to the Fund or its classes are charged to
the Fund or class. Other operating expenses shared by several funds are
pro-rated among those funds on the basis of relative net assets or other
appropriate methods. Other expenses of the Fund are allocated daily to
each class based on its relative net assets.

2. Investment Advisory Agreement and Transactions with
Affiliates:

Bond Fund, on behalf of the Fund entered into an Investment Advisory
Agreement with BlackRock Advisors, LLC (“the Advisor”), an indirect,
wholly owned subsidiary of BlackRock, Inc. to provide investment adviso-
ry and administration services. Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc. (“Merrill Lynch”)
and The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. (“PNC”) are principal owners
of BlackRock, Inc.

The Advisor is responsible for the management of the Fund’s portfolio
and provides the necessary personnel, facilities, equipment and certain
other services necessary to the operations of the Fund. For such servic-
es, the Fund pays a monthly fee with respect to the Fund based upon
the aggregate average daily value of the net assets of the Fund and
Master Total Return Portfolio of Master Bond LLC (“Master LLC”) at the
following annual rates: 0.55% of the Bond Fund’s average daily net

assets not exceeding $250 million; 0.50% of average daily net assets in
excess of $250 million but not exceeding $500 million; 0.45% of aver-
age daily net assets in excess of $500 million but not exceeding $750
million; and 0.40% of average daily net assets in excess of $750 mil-
lion. For the six months ended March 31, 2008, the aggregate average
daily net assets of the Fund and Master LLC, was approximately
$5,293,141,361.

In addition, the Advisor has entered into a sub-advisory agreement
with BlackRock Financial Management, Inc. (“BFM”), an affiliate of the
Advisor, under which the Advisor pays BFM for services it provides, a
monthly fee that is an annual percentage of the investment advisory fee
paid by the Fund to the Advisor. For the six months ended March 31,
2008, the Fund reimbursed the Advisor $11,945 for certain accounting
services, which are included in accounting services expenses in the
Statement of Operations.

The Fund has also entered into separate Distribution Agreements and
Distribution Plans with FAM Distributors, Inc. (“FAMD”) and BlackRock
Distributors, Inc. and its affiliates (“BDI”) (collectively, the “Distributor”).
FAMD is a wholly owned subsidiary of Merrill Lynch Group, Inc. and BDI
is an affiliate of BlackRock, Inc.

Pursuant to the Distribution Plans adopted by the Fund in accordance
with Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, the Fund pays the Distributor
ongoing service and distribution fees. The fees are accrued daily and
paid monthly at annual rates based upon the average daily net assets
of the shares as follows:

    Service    Distribution 
    Fee    Fee 

 
 
Investor A    0.25%     
Investor B    0.25%    0.50% 
Investor C    0.25%    0.75% 
Investor C1    0.25%    0.55% 

 
 

Pursuant to sub-agreements with each Distributor, broker-dealers, includ-
ing Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated (“MLPF&S”), a
wholly owned subsidiary of Merrill Lynch, and the Distributor provide
shareholder servicing and distribution services to the Fund. The ongoing
service fee compensates the Distributor and each broker-dealer for
providing shareholder servicing to Investor A, Investor B, Investor C and
Investor C1 shareholders. The ongoing distribution fee compensates
each Distributor and each broker-dealer for providing distribution-related
services to Investor B, Investor C and Investor C1 shareholders.

For the six months ended March 31, 2008, the affiliates earned
underwriting discounts, direct commissions and its dealer concessions
on sales of the Fund’s Investor A shares which totaled $202,574.

For the six months ended March 31, 2008, affiliates received contingent
deferred sales charges of $45,306, $23,607 and $3,341 relating to
transactions in Investor B, Investor C and Investor C1 Shares, respec-
tively. Furthermore, affiliates received contingent deferred sales charges
of $467 relating to transactions subject to front-end sales charge
waivers on Investor A Shares.

The Advisor maintains a call center, which is responsible for providing
certain shareholder services to the Fund, such as responding to share-
holder inquiries and processing transactions based upon instructions
from shareholders with respect to the subscription and redemption of
Fund shares. During the six months ended March 31, 2008 the following
amounts have been accrued by the Fund to reimburse the Advisor for
costs incurred running the call center, which are a component of the
transfer agent fees in the accompanying Statements of Operations.

    Call Center 
    Fees 

 
Institutional    $ 3,822 
Investor A    $ 5,796 
Investor B    $ 1,908 
Investor C    $ 534 
Investor C1    $ 1,938 

 

PFPC Inc., an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of PNC and an affiliate
of the Advisor, serves as transfer agent. Each class of the Fund bears
the costs of transfer agent fees associated with such respective classes.
Transfer agency fees borne by each class of the Fund are comprised of
those fees charged for all shareholder communications including share-
holder reports, dividend and distribution notices, and proxy materials for
shareholder meetings, as well as per account and per transaction fees
related to servicing and maintenance of shareholder accounts, including
the issuing, redeeming and transferring of shares of each class of the
Fund, 12B-1 fee calculation, check writing, anti-money laundering serv-
ices, and customer identification services.

Notes to Financial Statements (concluded)

5. Short-Term Borrowings:

The Fund, along with certain other funds managed by the Advisor and its

the Fund’s current Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information,
subject to various other legal, regulatory or contractual limits. On Nov-
