(b) Rate quoted represents yield-to-maturity as of purchase date.
(c) Indicates a security that has been deemed illiquid.
(d) Private placement, restricted as to resale and does not have a readily available market. The aggregate cost of such securities is $47,000,000. The aggregate value of $47,000,000 is 2.0% of net assets.
(e) Repurchase agreements are collateralized by United States Treasury or federal agency obligations.
(f) The cost of securities for federal income tax purposes is substantially the same as for financial reporting purposes.


Notes to Portfolio of Investments (Unaudited)

Securities Valuations: Portfolio securities of the Fund are valued at amortized cost, 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 any discount or premium. If the amortized cost method is determined not to represent fair value, the fair value shall be determined in accordance with the Board of Trustees’ approved fair valuation procedures. When determining the fair valuation of securities some of the factors influencing the valuation include the nature of any restrictions on disposition of the securities; assessment of the general liquidity of the securities; the issuer’s financial condition and the markets in which it does business; the cost of the investment; the size of the holding and the capitalization of issuer; the prices of any recent transactions or bids/offers for such securities or any comparable securities; any available analyst, media or other reports or information deemed reliable by the investment adviser regarding the issuer or the markets or industry in which it operates. Using fair value to price securities may result in a value that is different from a security’s most recent closing price and from the price used by other mutual funds to calculate their net asset values.

Repurchase Agreements: In connection with transactions in repurchase agreements with the United States financial institutions, it is the Fund’s policy that its custodian or designated subcustodians under triparty repurchase agreements, as the case may be, take possession of the underlying collateral securities, the value of which exceeds the principal amount of the repurchase transaction, including accrued interest. To the extent that any repurchase transaction exceeds one day, the value of the collateral is marked on a daily basis to ensure the adequacy of the collateral. If the seller defaults and the value of the collateral declines or if bankruptcy proceedings are commenced with respect to the seller of the security, realization of the collateral by the Fund may be delayed or limited.

The Fund may hold illiquid securities, including those which maybe restricted as to disposition under securities law (“restricted securities”). Restricted securities are valued pursuant to the valuation procedures noted above.

Other information regarding the Fund is available in the Fund’s most recent Report to Shareholders. This information is available on the Securities and Exchange Commission’s website (www.sec.gov).
