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 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. For example, money market securities are valued using amortized cost, in accordance with rules under the Investment 
Company Act of 1940. Generally, amortized cost approximates the current fair value of a security, but since the value is not obtained 
from a unadjusted quoted price in an active market, such securities are reflected as Level 2. 
The following is a summary of the inputs used as of October 31, 2009 in valuing the fund's investments: 

Valuation Inputs  Short-Term Investments ($)+ 
Level 1 - Unadjusted Quoted Prices  - 
Level 2 - Other Significant Observable Inputs  27,374,792,789 
Level 3 - Significant Unobservable Inputs  - 
Total  27,374,792,789 

  • See Statement of Investments for additional detailed categorizations.


The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) has become 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 The Codification has superseded all existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. 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.

It is the portfolio’s policy to maintain a continuous net asset value per share of $1.00; the portfolio has adopted certain investment, portfolio valuation and dividend and distribution policies to enable it to do so. There is no assurance, however, that the portfolio will be able to maintain a stable net asset value per share of $1.00.

Portfolio valuation: Investments in securities are valued at amortized cost in accordance with Rule 2a-7 of the Act, which has been determined by the Board of Trustees to represent the fair value of the portfolio’s investments.

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.
