(a)
Non-income producing security.
         
(b)
Security fair valued in accordance with procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. These securities comprised 1.6% of the
 
Fund's net assets.
           
                   
 

 
The Funds value securities for which the primary market is on a domestic or foreign exchange and over-the-counter admitted to trading on the National Association of  Securities Dealers Automated Quotation Market System ("NASDAQ") at the last quoted sales price at the end of each business day or, if no sale, at the mean of the closing bid and asked prices. Over-the-counter securities are valued at the last quoted sales price at the end of each business day or, if no sale, at the mean of the closing bid and asked prices. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or whose values have been materially affected by events occurring before the close of U.S. markets but after the close of the securities' primary markets, are valued at fair value as determined in good faith according to procedures approved by the Board of Trustees.
 
For example, fair value pricing may be used where: (i) a security is illiquid (restricted securities and repurchase agreements maturing in more than seven days); (ii) the market or exchange for a security is closed on an ordinary trading day and no other market prices are available; (iii) the security is so thinly traded that there have been no transactions in the stock over an extended period; or (iv) the validity of a market quotation received is questionable. In addition, fair value pricing will be used if emergency or unusual situations have occurred, as such when trading of a security on an exchange is suspended; or when an event occurs after the close of the exchange on which the security is principally traded that is likely to have changed the value of the security before the NAV is calculated (applicable to foreign securities).
 
Among those factors that may be considered when fair valuing a security are: fundamental analytical data relating to the investment in the security; evaluation of the forces that influence the market in which the security is purchased and sold; type of security or asset; financial statements of issuer; special reports prepared by analysts or the Adviser; information as to any transactions or offers with respect to the security; and the historical tendency of the security's price to track or respond to general and specific market movements (in terms of indices, sectors, or other market measurements).
 
In accordance with GAAP, the Funds use a three-tier hierarchy to establish classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk. Inputs may be observable or unobservable. Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability that are developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the reporting entities own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability that are eveloped based on the best information available.
 
     Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Fund has the ability to access.
     Level 2 - Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either
                    directly or indirectly. These inputs may include quoted prices for the identical instrument on an inactive market,
                     prices for similar instruments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, default rates and
                     similar data.
                   
     Level 3 - Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, to the extent relevant observable inputs are not available;
                    representing the Funds' own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in valuing
                    the asset or liability, and would be based on the best information available.
 
                         
The availability of observable inputs can vary from security to security and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of security, whether the security is new and not yet established in the marketplace, the liquidity of markets, and other characteristics particular to the security. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in level 3.
 
The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls in its entirety, is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.
 
Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Funds' investments as of the reporting period end. The designated input levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with these investments. These inputs are categorized in the following hierarchy under applicable financial accounting standards.
 
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Funds' net assets as of January 31, 2010:
