a Securities exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933. These securities may be resold in

transactions exempt from registration, normally to qualified institutional buyers. At November 30, 2010, these securities

amounted to $275,385,035 or 35.6% of net assets.

b The Federal Housing Finance Agency ("FHFA") placed Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation and Federal National Mortgage

Association into conservatorship with FHFA as the conservator. As such, the FHFA oversees the continuing affairs of these

companies.

c Variable rate security--interest rate subject to periodic change.

At November 30, 2010, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes was substantially the same as the cost for financial reporting purposes.

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 quoted price in an active market, such securities are reflected as Level 2.

The following is a summary of the inputs used as of November 30, 2010 in valuing the fund's investments:


Valuation Inputs	Short-Term Investments ($)+
Level 1 - Unadjusted Quoted Prices	-
Level 2 - Other Significant Observable Inputs	772,336,381
Level 3 - Significant Unobservable Inputs	-
Total	772,336,381

+ See Statement of Investments for additional detailed categorizations.

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.

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

The fund may enter into repurchase agreements with financial institutions, deemed to be creditworthy by the Manager, subject to the seller’s agreement to repurchase and the fund’s agreement to resell such securities at a mutually agreed upon price. Securities purchased subject to repurchase agreements are deposited with the fund’s custodian and, pursuant to the terms of the repurchase agreement, must have an aggregate market value greater than or equal to the terms of the repurchase price plus accrued interest at all times. If the value of the underlying securities falls below the value of the repurchase price plus accrued interest, the fund will require the seller to deposit additional collateral by the next business day. If the request for additional collateral is not met, or the seller defaults on its repurchase obligation, the fund maintains its right to sell the underlying securities at market value and may claim any resulting loss against the seller.

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.
