Security valuations for the fund’s investments are furnished by an independent pricing service that has been approved by the fund’s board of directors. Investments in equity securities that are traded on a national securities exchange (or reported on the Nasdaq national market system) are stated at the last quoted sales price if readily available for such securities on each business day. For securities traded on the Nasdaq national market system, the fund utilizes the Nasdaq Official Closing Price which compares the last trade to the bid/ask price of a security. If the last trade falls within the bid/ask range, then that price will be the closing price. If the last trade is outside the bid/ask range, and falls above the ask, the ask price will be the closing price. If the last trade is below the bid, the bid will be the closing price. Other equity securities traded in the over-the-counter market and listed equity securities for which no sale was reported on that date are stated at the last quoted bid price.
 
Debt obligations exceeding 60 days to maturity are valued by an independent pricing service that has been approved by the fund’s board of directors. The pricing service may employ methodologies that utilize actual market transactions, broker-dealer supplied valuations, or other formula-driven valuation techniques. These techniques generally consider such factors as yields or prices of bonds of comparable quality, type of issue, coupon, maturity, ratings, and general market conditions. Securities for which prices are not available from an independent pricing service, but where an active market exists, are valued using market quotations obtained from one or more dealers that make markets in the securities or from a widely-used quotation system. Debt obligations with 60 days or less remaining until maturity may be valued at their amortized cost, which approximates market value. Investments in open-end funds are valued at their respective net asset values on the valuation date.
 
The following investment vehicles, when held by the fund, are priced as follows: Exchange listed futures and options on futures are priced at their last sale price on the exchange on which they are principally traded, as determined by FAF Advisors, Inc. (“FAF Advisors”), on the day the valuation is made. If there were no sales on that day, futures and options on futures will be valued at the last reported bid price. Options on securities, indices, and currencies traded on Nasdaq or listed on a stock exchange, whether domestic or foreign, are valued at the last sale price on Nasdaq or on any exchange on the day the valuation is made. If there were no sales on that day, the options will be valued at the last sale price on the previous valuation date. Last sale prices are obtained from an independent pricing service. Forward contracts (other than currency forward contracts), swaps, and over-the-counter options on securities, indices, and currencies are valued at the quotations received from an independent pricing service, if available.
 
When market quotations are not readily available, securities are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by procedures established and approved by the fund’s board of directors. Some of the factors which may be considered in determining fair value are fundamental analytical data relating to the investment; the nature and duration of any restrictions on disposition; trading in similar securities of the same issuer or comparable companies; information from broker-dealers; and an evaluation of the forces that influence the market in which the securities are purchased or sold. If events occur that materially affect the value of securities (including non-U.S. securities) between the close of trading in those securities and the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange, the securities will be valued at fair value.
 
As of May 31, 2009, the fund held no fair valued securities.

1 If the fund is a seller of protection and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the fund will either (i) pay to the buyer
  of protection an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and take delivery of the reference entity or underlying securities comprising the reference index
  or (ii) pay a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the reference entity or
  underlying securities comprising the reference entity.

  particular swap agreement.
 
Summary of Fair Value Exposure
 
The fund adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 157, Fair Value Measurements ("FAS 157"), on September 1, 2008. FAS 157 requires the fund to classify its securities based on valuation method, using the following three levels:
 
Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. Generally, the types of securities included within Level 1 of the fund are investments in preferred stocks, open-end funds, and futures with quoted prices.
 
Level 2 - Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, with similar interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.). Generally, the types of securities included in Level 2 of the fund are corporate and municipal bonds, asset-backed securities, mortgage-backed securities, U.S. government and agency securities, collateralized mortgage obligations, U.S. Treasury bills and swaps.
 
Level 3 - Significant unobservable inputs (including the fund's own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments). Generally, the types of securities included in Level 3 of the fund are securities for which there are limited or no observable fair value inputs available, and as such the fair value is determined through independent broker quotations or management's fair value procedures established by the fund’s board of directors. Some of the factors which may be considered in determining fair value are fundamental analytical data relating to the investment; the nature and duration of any restrictions on disposition; trading in similar securities of the same issuer or comparable companies; information from broker-dealers; and/or an evaluation of the forces that influence the market in which the securities are purchased and sold.
 
The valuation levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in these investments. Industry implementation has just begun and it may be some period of time before industry practices become more uniform. For this reason, care should be exercised in interpreting this information and/or using it for comparison with other mutual funds.
 
As of May 31, 2009, the fund's investments were classified as follows:
