The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting
Standards Codification (“ASC”) is the exclusive reference of
authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”)
recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities.
Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange
Commission (“SEC”) under authority of federal laws are also sources
of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. The fund's
financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP, which
may require the use of management estimates and assumptions. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.

The fair value of a financial instrument is the
amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability
in an orderly transaction between market participants at the
measurement date (i.e. the exit price). GAAP establishes a fair value
hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs of valuation techniques used to
measure fair value. This hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted
quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
(Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs
(Level 3 measurements).
Additionally, GAAP provides guidance on determining whether the
volume and activity in a market has decreased significantly and
whether such a decrease in activity results in transactions that are not
orderly. GAAP requires enhanced disclosures around valuation inputs
and techniques used during annual and interim periods.
Various inputs are used in determining the value of the fund’s investments
relating to fair value measurements. These inputs are summarized
in the three broad levels listed below:
Level 1—unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for
identical investments.
Level 2—other significant observable inputs (including quoted
prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds,
credit risk, etc.).
Level 3—significant unobservable inputs (including the fund’s own
assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily
an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an
assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. Valuation techniques
used to value the fund’s investments are as follows:

Investments in securities are valued at the last sales price on the securities
exchange or national securities market on which such securities
are primarily traded. Securities listed on the National Market System
for which market quotations are available are valued at the official
closing price or, if there is no official closing price that day, at the last
sales price. Securities not listed on an exchange or the national securities
market, or securities for which there were no transactions, are
valued at the average of the most recent bid and asked prices, except
for open short positions, where the asked price is used for valuation
purposes. Bid price is used when no asked price is available. Registered
investment companies that are not traded on an exchange are valued
at their net asset value. All preceding securities are categorized as Level
1 of the fair value hierarchy.

Fair valuing of securities may be determined with the assistance of a
pricing service using calculations based on indices of domestic securities
and other appropriate indicators, such as prices of relevant ADRs
and futures contracts. Utilizing these techniques may result in transfers
between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
When market quotations or official closing prices are not readily available,
or are determined not to reflect accurately fair value, such as when
the value of a security has been significantly affected by events after the
close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally
traded (for example, a foreign exchange or market), but before the fund
calculates its net asset value, the fund may value these investments at fair
value as determined in accordance with the procedures approved by the
Board of Trustees. Certain factors may be considered when fair valuing
investments such as: fundamental analytical data, the nature and
duration of restrictions on disposition, an evaluation of the forces that
influence the market in which the securities are purchased and sold,
and public trading in similar securities of the issuer or comparable
issuers. These securities are either categorized within Level 2 or 3 depending
on the relevant inputs used.
For restricted securities where observable inputs are limited, assumptions
about market activity and risk are used and are categorized as
Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Pursuant to a securities lending agreement with The Bank of New
York Mellon, the fund may lend securities to qualified institutions. It
is the fund’s policy that, at origination, all loans are secured by collateral

of at least 102% of the value of U.S. securities loaned and 105% of
the value of foreign securities loaned. Collateral equivalent to at least
100% of the market value of securities on loan is maintained at all
times. Collateral is either in the form of cash, which can be invested in
certain money market mutual funds managed by the Manager or U.S.
Government and Agency securities. The fund is entitled to receive all
dividends, interest and distributions on securities loaned, in addition to
income earned as a result of the lending transaction. Should a borrower
fail to return the securities in a timely manner, The Bank of
New York Mellon is required to replace the securities for the benefit
of the fund and credit the fund with the market value of the unreturned
securities and is subrogated to the fund’s rights against the borrower
and the collateral.

Additional investment related disclosures are hereby incorporated by reference to the annual
and semi-annual reports previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form N-CSR.
