(†) Debt securities (other than short-term obligations purchased with an original or remaining maturity of sixty days or less) are generally valued on the basis of evaluated bids furnished to the Fund by a pricing service recommended by the investment adviser and approved by the Board of Trustees, which service determines valuations for normal, institutional size-trading units of such securities using market information, transactions for comparable securities and various relationships between securities which are generally recognized by institutional traders. Equity securities, including closed-end investment companies and exchange-traded funds, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at market value, as reported by pricing services recommended by the investment adviser and approved by the Board of Trustees. Such pricing services generally use the security’s last sale price on the exchange or market where primarily traded or, if there is no reported sale during the day, the closing bid price. Securities traded on the NASDAQ Global Select Market, NASDAQ Global Market and NASDAQ Capital Market are valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price (“NOCP”), or if lacking a NOCP, at the most recent bid quotation on the applicable NASDAQ Market. Broker-dealer bid quotations may also be used to value debt and equity securities where a pricing service does not price a security or where a pricing service does not provide a reliable price for the security. In instances where broker-dealer bid quotations are not available, certain securities held by the Fund may be valued on the basis of a price provided by a principal market maker. Future contracts are priced at their most recent settlement price. Short-term obligations purchased with an original or remaining maturity of sixty days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Fund’s investment adviser using consistently applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees. Investments in other open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each day.

 

     The Fund may hold securities traded in foreign markets. Foreign securities are valued at the market price in the foreign market. However, if events occurring after the close of the foreign market (but before the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange) are believed to materially affect the value of those securities, such securities are fair valued pursuant to procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. When fair valuing securities, the Fund may, among other things, use modeling tools or other processes that may take into account factors such as securities market activity and/or significant events that occur after the close of the foreign market and before the Fund calculates its net asset value.

 

     The books and records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. The value of securities, currencies and other assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars are translated into U.S. dollars based upon foreign exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period.

(a) Federal Tax Information (Amounts exclude certain adjustments made at the end of the Fund’s fiscal year for tax purposes. Such adjustments are primarily due to wash sales. Amortization of premium on debt securities is excluded for tax purposes):

 

  At December 31, 2008, the net unrealized depreciation on investments based on a cost of $16,364,878,400 for federal income tax purposes was as follows:

 

Aggregate gross unrealized appreciation for all investments in which there is an excess of value over tax cost

   $ 152,573,731  

Aggregate gross unrealized depreciation for all investments in which there is an excess of tax cost over value

     (4,417,999,395 )
        

Net unrealized depreciation

   $ (4,265,425,664 )
        

 

(b) Illiquid security. At December 31, 2008, the value of these securities amounted to $496,086,727 or 4.0% of net assets.

 

(c) Non-income producing due to bankruptcy filing.

 

(d) All or a portion of this security was on loan to brokers at December 31, 2008. The Fund has entered into an agreement with State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street Bank”), as agent of the Fund, to lend securities to certain designated borrowers. The loans are collateralized with cash or securities in an amount equal to at least 105% or 102% of the market value (including accrued interest) of the loaned international or domestic securities, respectively, when the loan is initiated. Thereafter, the value of the collateral must remain at least 102% of the market value (including accrued interest) of loaned securities for U.S. equities and U.S. corporate debt; at least 105% of the market value (including accrued interest) of loaned securities for non-U.S. equities; and at least 100% of the market value (including accrued interest) of loaned securities for U.S. government securities, sovereign debt issued by non-U.S. governments and non-U.S. corporate debt. In the event that the market value of the collateral falls below the required percentages described above, the borrower will deliver additional collateral on the next business day. As with other extensions of credit, the Fund may bear the risk of loss with respect to the investment of the collateral. The Fund invests cash collateral in short-term investments, a portion of the income from which is remitted to the borrowers and the remainder allocated between the Fund and State Street Bank as lending agent. The value (including accrued interest) of securities on loan to borrowers and the value of collateral held by the Fund with respect to such loans at December 31, 2008 were $1,306,250 and $1,547,880, respectively.

 

(e) Non-income producing security.

 

(f) Step Bond: Coupon is a fixed rate for an initial period then resets at a specified date and rate.

 

(g) Variable rate security. Rate as of December 31, 2008 is disclosed.

 

(h) Variable rate security. Rate shown represents the weighted average rate at December 31, 2008.

 

(i) Future dividend payments have been eliminated as the issuer has been placed in conservatorship.

 

(j) Valued by management. At December 31, 2008, the value of these securities amounted to $193,274,388 or 1.6% of net assets.

 

(k) Represents investment of securities lending collateral.

 

(l) It is the Fund’s policy that the market value of the collateral for repurchase agreements be at least equal to 100% of the repurchase price, including interest. Certain repurchase agreements are tri-party arrangements whereby the collateral is held in a segregated account for the benefit of the Fund and on behalf of the counterparty. It is the Fund’s policy, regarding tri-party arrangements, that the market value of the collateral be at least equal to 102% of the repurchase price, including interest. Repurchase agreements could involve certain risks in the event of default or insolvency of the counterparty including possible delays or restrictions upon a Fund’s ability to dispose of the underlying securities.

 

144A 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 December 31, 2008, the total value of these securities amounted to $1,026,837,424 or 8.4% of net assets.

Fair Value Measurements

The Fund adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 (“FAS 157”), Fair Value Measurements, effective October 1, 2008. FAS 157 establishes a hierarchy for net asset value determination purposes in which various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

 

   

Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical investments;

 

   

Level 2 - prices determined using other significant observable inputs that are observable either directly, or indirectly through corroboration with observable market data (which could include quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, credit risk, etc.);

 

   

Level 3 - prices determined using significant unobservable inputs for situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable such as when there is little or no market activity for an investment, (unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments and would be based on the best information available).

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s investments as of December 31, 2008:

New Accounting Pronouncement

In March 2008, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (“FAS 161”), was issued and will be effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. FAS 161 requires enhanced disclosures about funds’ derivative and hedging activities. Management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of FAS 161 may have on the Fund’s financial statement disclosures.

(†) Debt securities (other than short-term obligations purchased with an original or remaining maturity of sixty days or less) are generally valued on the basis of evaluated bids furnished to the Fund by a pricing service recommended by the investment adviser and approved by the Board of Trustees, which service determines valuations for normal, institutional size-trading units of such securities using market information, transactions for comparable securities and various relationships between securities which are generally recognized by institutional traders. Equity securities, including closed-end investment companies and exchange-traded funds, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at market value, as reported by pricing services recommended by the investment adviser and approved by the Board of Trustees. Such pricing services generally use the security’s last sale price on the exchange or market where primarily traded or, if there is no reported sale during the day, the closing bid price. Securities traded on the NASDAQ Global Select Market, NASDAQ Global Market and NASDAQ Capital Market are valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price (“NOCP”), or if lacking a NOCP, at the most recent bid quotation on the applicable NASDAQ Market. Broker-dealer bid quotations may also be used to value debt and equity securities where a pricing service does not price a security or where a pricing service does not provide a reliable price for the security. In instances where broker-dealer bid quotations are not available, certain securities held by the Fund may be valued on the basis of a price provided by a principal market maker. Future contracts are priced at their most recent settlement price. Short-term obligations purchased with an original or remaining maturity of sixty days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Fund’s investment adviser using consistently applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees. Investments in other open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each day.

 

   The Fund may hold securities traded in foreign markets. Foreign securities are valued at the market price in the foreign market. However, if events occurring after the close of the foreign market (but before the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange) are believed to materially affect the value of those securities, such securities are fair valued pursuant to procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. When fair valuing securities, the Fund may, among other things, use modeling tools or other processes that may take into account factors such as securities market activity and/or significant events that occur after the close of the foreign market and before the Fund calculates its net asset value.

 

   The books and records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. The value of securities, currencies and other assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars are translated into U.S. dollars based upon foreign exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period.

(a) Federal Tax Information (Amounts exclude certain adjustments made at the end of the Fund’s fiscal year for tax purposes. Such adjustments are primarily due to wash. Amortization of premium on debt securities is excluded for tax purposes.):

 

     At December 31, 2008, the net unrealized depreciation on investments based on a cost of $709,960,426 for federal income tax purposes was as follows:

 

Aggregate gross unrealized appreciation for all investments in which there is an excess of value over tax cost

   $ 10,931,336  

Aggregate gross unrealized depreciation for all investments in which there is an excess of tax cost over value

     (147,678,293 )
        

Net unrealized depreciation

   $ (136,746,957 )
        

 

(b) Non-income producing due to bankruptcy filing.

 

(c) Illiquid security. At December 31, 2008, the value of these securities amounted to $19,983,085 or 3.6% of net assets.

 

(d) All or a portion of this security was on loan to brokers at December 31, 2008. The Fund has entered into an agreement with State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street Bank”), as agent of the Fund, to lend securities to certain designated borrowers. The loans are collateralized with cash or securities in an amount equal to at least 105% or 102% of the market value (including accrued interest) of the loaned international or domestic securities, respectively, when the loan is initiated. Thereafter, the value of the collateral must remain at least 102% of the market value (including accrued interest) of loaned securities for U.S. equities and U.S. corporate debt; at least 105% of the market value (including accrued interest) of loaned securities for non-U.S. equities; and at least 100% of the market value (including accrued interest) of loaned securities for U.S. government securities, sovereign debt issued by non-U.S. governments and non-U.S. corporate debt. In the event that the market value of the collateral falls below the required percentages described above, the borrower will deliver additional collateral on the next business day. As with other extensions of credit, the Fund may bear the risk of loss with respect to the investment of the collateral. The Fund invests cash collateral in short-term investments, a portion of the income from which is remitted to the borrowers and the remainder allocated between the Fund and State Street Bank as lending agent. The value (including accrued interest) of securities on loan to borrowers and the value of collateral held by the Fund with respect to such loans at December 31, 2008 were $66,825 and $77,920, respectively.

 

(e) Variable rate security. Rate as of December 31, 2008 is disclosed.

 

(f) Valued by management. At December 31, 2008, the value of these securities amounted to $5,550,364 or 1.0% of net assets.

 

(g) Non-income producing security.

 

(h) Step Bond: Coupon is a fixed rate for an initial period then resets at a specified date and rate.

 

(i) Variable rate security. Rate shown represents the weighted average rate at December 31, 2008.

 

(j) Future dividend payments have been eliminated as the issuer has been placed in conservatorship.

 

(k) Represents investment of security lending collateral.

 

(l) It is the Fund’s policy that the market value of the collateral for repurchase agreements be at least equal to 100% of the repurchase price, including interest. Certain repurchase agreements are tri-party arrangements whereby the collateral is held in a segregated account for the benefit of the Fund and on behalf of the counterparty. It is the Fund’s policy, regarding tri-party arrangements, that the market value of the collateral be at least equal to 102% of the repurchase price, including interest. Repurchase agreements could involve certain risks in the event of default or insolvency of the counterparty including possible delays or restrictions upon a Fund’s ability to dispose of the underlying securities.

 

144A 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 December 31, 2008, the total value of these securities amounted to $47,465,239 or 8.6% of net assets.

Fair Value Measurements

The Fund adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 (“FAS 157”), Fair Value Measurements, effective October 1, 2008. FAS 157 establishes a hierarchy for net asset value determination purposes in which various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

   

Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical investments;

 

   

Level 2 - prices determined using other significant observable inputs that are observable either directly, or indirectly through corroboration with observable market data (which could include quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, credit risk, etc.);

 

   

Level 3 - prices determined using significant unobservable inputs for situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable such as when there is little or no market activity for an investment (unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments and would be based on the best information available).

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s investments as of December 31, 2008:

New Accounting Pronouncement

In March 2008, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (“FAS 161”), was issued and will be effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. FAS 161 requires enhanced disclosures about funds’ derivative and hedging activities. Management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of FAS 161 may have on the Fund’s financial statement disclosures.

(†) Debt securities (other than short-term obligations purchased with an original or remaining maturity of sixty days or less) are generally valued on the basis of evaluated bids furnished to the Fund by a pricing service recommended by the investment adviser and approved by the Board of Trustees, which service determines valuations for normal, institutional size-trading units of such securities using market information, transactions for comparable securities and various relationships between securities which are generally recognized by institutional traders. Equity securities, including closed-end investment companies and exchange-traded funds, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at market value, as reported by pricing services recommended by the investment adviser and approved by the Board of Trustees. Such pricing services generally use the security’s last sale price on the exchange or market where the security is primarily traded or, if there is no reported sale during the day, the closing bid price. Securities traded on the NASDAQ Global Select Market, NASDAQ Global Market and NASDAQ Capital Market are valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price (“NOCP”), or if lacking a NOCP, at the most recent bid quotation on the applicable NASDAQ Market. Broker-dealer bid quotations may also be used to value debt and equity securities where a pricing service does not price a security or where a pricing service does not provide a reliable price for the security. In instances where broker-dealer bid quotations are not available, certain securities held by the Fund may be valued on the basis of a price provided by a principal market maker. All forward foreign currency contracts are “marked-to-market” daily utilizing interpolated prices determined from information provided by an independent pricing service. Short-term obligations purchased with an original or remaining maturity of sixty days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Fund’s investment adviser using consistently applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees. Investments in other open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each day.

 

     The Fund may hold securities traded in foreign markets. Foreign securities are valued at the market price in the foreign market. However, if events occurring after the close of the foreign market (but before the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange) are believed to materially affect the value of those securities, such securities are fair valued pursuant to procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. When fair valuing securities, the Fund may, among other things, use modeling tools or other processes that may take into account factors such as securities market activity and/or significant events that occur after the close of the foreign market and before the Fund calculate its net asset value.

 

     The books and records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. The value of securities, currencies and other assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars are translated into U.S. dollars based upon foreign exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period.

 

(††) Amount shown represents units. One unit represents a principal amount of 100.

 

(a) Federal Tax Information (Amounts exclude certain adjustments made at the end of the Fund’s fiscal year for tax purposes. Such adjustments are primarily due to wash sales. Amortization of premium on debt securities is excluded for tax purposes.):

 

     At December 31, 2008, the net unrealized depreciation on investments based on a cost of $1,871,412,111 for federal income tax purposes was as follows:

   $ 55,728,789  

Aggregate gross unrealized depreciation for all investments in which there is an excess of tax cost over value

     (329,966,912 )
        

Net unrealized depreciation

   $ (274,238,123 )
        

 

     At September 30, 2008, the Fund had a capital loss carryforward of approximately $9,854,106 of which $1,046,616 expires on September 30, 2014: $5,497,643 expires on September 30, 2015 and $3,309,847 expires on September 30, 2016. At September 30, 2008 post-October capital loss deferrals were $9,216,441. These amounts may be available to offset future realized capital gains, if any, to the extent provided by regulations.

 

(b) Variable rate security. Rate as of December 31, 2008 is disclosed.

 

(c) Illiquid security. At December 31, 2008, the value of these securities amounted to $22,174,226 or 1.3% of net assets.

 

(d) All or portion of this security is held as collateral for open forward contracts.

 

(e) Future dividend payments have been eliminated as the issuer has been placed in conservatorship.

 

(f) Non-income producing security.

 

(g) It is the Fund’s policy that the market value of the collateral be at least equal to 102% of the repurchase price, including interest. The repurchase agreements are tri-party arrangements whereby the collateral is held in a segregated account for the benefit of the Fund and on behalf of the counterparty. Repurchase agreements could involve certain risks in the event of default or insolvency of the counterparty including possible delays or restrictions upon a Fund’s ability to dispose of the underlying securities.

Fair Value Measurements

The Fund adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 (“FAS 157”), Fair Value Measurements, effective October 1, 2008. FAS 157 establishes a hierarchy for net asset value determination purposes in which various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

 

   

Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical investments;

 

   

Level 2 - prices determined using other significant observable inputs that are observable either directly, or indirectly through corroboration with observable market data (which could include quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, credit risk, etc.);

 

   

Level 3 - prices determined using significant unobservable inputs for situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable such as when there is little or no market activity for an investment (unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments and would be based on the best information available).

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

Other financial instruments are derivative instruments not reflected in investments carried at value and may include such instruments as forward contracts, which are valued at the unrealized appreciation/depreciation on the instrument.

The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s investments as of December 31, 2008:

New Accounting Pronouncement

In March 2008, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (“FAS 161”), was issued and will be effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. FAS 161 requires enhanced disclosures about funds’ derivative and hedging activities. Management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of FAS 161 may have on the Fund’s financial statement disclosures.

Forward Foreign Currency Contracts

The Fund may enter into forward foreign currency contracts. Contracts to buy generally are used to acquire exposure to foreign currencies, while contracts to sell generally are used to hedge a Fund’s investments against currency fluctuation. Also, a contract to buy or sell may offset a previous contract. These contracts involve market risk in excess of the unrealized gain or loss. The U.S. dollar value of the currencies a Fund has committed to buy or sell represents the aggregate exposure to each currency the Fund has acquired or hedged through currency contracts outstanding at period end. Gains or losses are recorded for financial statement purposes as unrealized until settlement date. Risks may arise upon entering into these contrasts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from unanticipated movements in the value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar. At December 31, 2008, the Fund had the following open forward foreign currency contracts:

(†) Debt securities (other than short-term obligations purchased with an original or remaining maturity of sixty days or less) are generally valued on the basis of evaluated bids furnished to the Fund by a pricing service recommended by the investment adviser and approved by the Board of Trustees, which service determines valuations for normal, institutional size-trading units of such securities using market information, transactions for comparable securities and various relationships between securities which are generally recognized by institutional traders. Equity securities, including closed-end investment companies and exchange-traded funds, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at market value, as reported by pricing services recommended by the investment adviser and approved by the Board of Trustees. Such pricing services generally use the security’s last sale price on the exchange or market where primarily traded or, if there is no reported sale during the day, the closing bid price. Securities traded on the NASDAQ Global Select Market, NASDAQ Global Market and NASDAQ Capital Market are valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price (“NOCP”), or if lacking a NOCP, at the most recent bid quotation on the applicable NASDAQ Market. Broker-dealer bid quotations may also be used to value debt and equity securities where a pricing service does not price a security or where a pricing service does not provide a reliable price for the security. In instances where broker-dealer bid quotations are not available, certain securities held by the Fund may be valued on the basis of a price provided by a principal market maker. Short-term obligations purchased with an original or remaining maturity of sixty days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Fund’s investment adviser using consistently applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees. Investments in other open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each day.

 

   The Fund may hold securities traded in foreign markets. Foreign securities are valued at the market price in the foreign market. However, if events occurring after the close of the foreign market (but before the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange) are believed to materially affect the value of those securities, such securities are fair valued pursuant to procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. When fair valuing securities, the Fund may, among other things, use modeling tools or other processes that may take into account factors such as securities market activity and/or significant events that occur after the close of the foreign market and before the Fund calculates its net asset value.

 

   The books and records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. The value of securities, currencies and other assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars are translated into U.S. dollars based upon foreign exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period.

 

(a) Federal Tax Information (Amounts exclude certain adjustments made at the end of the Fund’s fiscal year for tax purposes. Amortization of premium on debt securities is excluded for tax purposes.):

 

   At December 31, 2008, the net unrealized depreciation on investments based on a cost of $81,993,572 for federal income tax purposes was as follows:

 

Aggregate gross unrealized appreciation for all investments in which there is an excess of value over tax cost

   $ 83,139  

Aggregate gross unrealized depreciation for all investments in which there is an excess of tax cost over value

     (30,156,177 )

(b) Variable rate security. Rate as of December 31, 2008 is disclosed.

 

(c) Non-income producing due to bankruptcy filing.

 

(d) Illiquid Security. At December 31, 2008, the value of this security amounted to $891,433 or 1.6% of net assets.

 

(e) Valued by management. At December 31, 2008, the value of this security amounted to $9,000 or 0.02% of net assets.

(g) Step Bond: Coupon is a fixed rate for an initial period then resets at a specified date and rate.

 

(h) Variable rate security. Rate shown represents the weighted average rate at December 31, 2008.

 

(i) Future dividend payments have been eliminated as the issuer has been placed in conservatorship.

 

(j) It is the Fund’s policy that the market value of the collateral for repurchase agreements be at least equal to 100% of the repurchase price, including interest. Certain repurchase agreements are tri-party arrangements whereby the collateral is held in a segregated account for the benefit of the Fund and on behalf of the counterparty. It is the Fund’s policy, regarding tri-party arrangements, that the market value of the collateral be at least equal to 102% of the repurchase price, including interest. Repurchase agreements could involve certain risks in the event of default or insolvency of the counterparty including possible delays or restrictions upon a Fund’s ability to dispose of the underlying securities.

 

144A 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 December 31, 2008, the total value of these securities amounted to $3,620,240 or 6.7% of net assets.

Fair Value Measurements

The Fund adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 (“FAS 157”), Fair Value Measurements, effective October 1, 2008. FAS 157 establishes a hierarchy for net asset value determination purposes in which various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

 

   

Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical investments;

 

   

Level 2 - prices determined using other significant observable inputs that are observable either directly, or indirectly through corroboration with observable market data (which could include quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, credit risk, etc.);

 

   

Level 3 - prices determined using significant unobservable inputs for situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable such as when there is little or no market activity for an investment, (unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments and would be based on the best information available).

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s investments as of December 31, 2008:

Level 1 - Quoted Prices

New Accounting Pronouncement

In March 2008, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (“FAS 161”), was issued and will be effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. FAS 161 requires enhanced disclosures about funds’ derivative and hedging activities. Management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of FAS 161 may have on the Fund’s financial statement disclosures.

(†) Debt securities (other than short-term obligations purchased with an original or remaining maturity of sixty days or less) are generally valued on the basis of evaluated bids furnished to the Fund by a pricing service recommended by the investment adviser and approved by the Board of Trustees, which service determines valuations for normal, institutional size-trading units of such securities using market information, transactions for comparable securities and various relationships between securities which are generally recognized by institutional traders. Equity securities, including closed-end investment companies and exchange-traded funds, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at market value, as reported by pricing services recommended by the investment adviser and approved by the Board of Trustees. Such pricing services generally use the security’s last sale price on the exchange or market where the security is primarily traded or, if there is no reported sale during the day, the closing bid price. Securities traded on the NASDAQ Global Select Market, NASDAQ Global Market and NASDAQ Capital Market are valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price (“NOCP”), or if lacking a NOCP, at the most recent bid quotation on the applicable NASDAQ Market. Broker-dealer bid quotations may also be used to value debt and equity securities where a pricing service does not price a security or where a pricing service does not provide a reliable price for the security. In instances where broker-dealer bid quotations are not available, certain securities held by the Fund may be valued on the basis of a price provided by a principal market maker. All forward foreign currency contracts are “marked-to-market” daily utilizing interpolated prices determined from information provided by an independent pricing service. Short-term obligations purchased with an original or remaining maturity of sixty days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Fund’s investment adviser using consistently applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees. Investments in other open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each day.

   The Fund may hold securities traded in foreign markets. Foreign securities are valued at the market price in the foreign market. However, if events occurring after the close of the foreign market (but before the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange) are believed to materially affect the value of those securities, such securities are fair valued pursuant to procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. When fair valuing securities, the Fund may, among other things, use modeling tools or other processes that may take into account factors such as securities market activity and/or significant events that occur after the close of the foreign market and before the Fund calculates its net asset value.

 

   The books and records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. The value of securities, currencies and other assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars are translated into U.S. dollars based upon foreign exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period.

 

(††) Amount shown represents units. One unit represents a principal amount of 100.

 

(a) Federal Tax Information (Amounts exclude certain adjustments made at the end of the Fund’s fiscal year for tax purposes. Such adjustments are primarily due to wash sales. Amortization of premium on debt securities is excluded for tax purposes.):

 

   At December 31, 2008, the net unrealized depreciation on investments based on a cost of $15,325,868 for federal income tax purposes was as follows:

 

Aggregate gross unrealized appreciation for all investments in which there is an excess of value over tax cost

   $ 21,859  

Aggregate gross unrealized depreciation for all investments in which there is an excess of tax cost over value

     (1,463,839 )
        

Net unrealized depreciation

   $ (1,441,980 )
        

 

   At September 30, 2008, the Fund had a capital loss carryforward of approximately $174,858 of which $19,853 expires on September 30, 2014 and $155,005 expires on September 30, 2015. These amounts may be available to offset future realized capital gains, if any, to the extent provided by regulations.

 

(b) Future dividend payments have been eliminated as the issuer has been placed in conservatorship.

 

(c) Non-income producing security.

 

(d) It is the Fund’s policy that the market value of the collateral for repurchase agreements be at least equal to 102% of the repurchase price, including interest. The repurchase agreements are tri-party arrangements whereby the collateral is held in a segregated account for the benefit of the Fund and on behalf of the counterparty. Repurchase agreements could involve certain risks in the event of default or insolvency of the counterparty including possible delays or restrictions upon a Fund’s ability to dispose of the underlying securities.

 

144A 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 December 31, 2008, the total value of these securities amounted to $60,081 or 0.4% of net assets.

     Fair Value Measurements

 

   The Fund adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 (“FAS 157”), Fair Value Measurements, effective October 1, 2008. FAS 157 establishes a hierarchy for net asset value determination purposes in which various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

 

   

Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical investments;

 

   

Level 2 - prices determined using other significant observable inputs that are observable either directly, or indirectly through corroboration with observable market data (which could include quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, credit risk, etc.);

 

   

Level 3 - prices determined using significant unobservable inputs for situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable such as when there is little or no market activity for an investment, (unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments and would be based on the best information available).

 

   The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

 

   Other financial instruments are derivative instruments not reflected in investments carried at value and may include such instruments as futures contracts and forward contracts, which are valued at the unrealized appreciation/depreciation on the instrument.

 

   The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s investments as of December 31, 2008:

New Accounting Pronouncement

In March 2008, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (“FAS 161”), was issued and will be effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. FAS 161 requires enhanced disclosures about funds’ derivative and hedging activities. Management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of FAS 161 may have on the Fund’s financial statement disclosures.

Forward Foreign Currency Contracts

The Fund may enter into forward foreign currency contracts. Contracts to buy generally are used to acquire exposure to foreign currencies, while contracts to sell generally are used to hedge a Fund’s investments against currency fluctuation. Also, a contract to buy or sell may offset a previous contract. These contracts involve market risk in excess of the unrealized gain or loss. The U.S. dollar value of the currencies a Fund has committed to buy or sell represents the aggregate exposure to each currency the Fund has acquired or hedged through currency contracts outstanding at period end. Gains or losses are recorded for financial statement purposes as unrealized until settlement date. Risks may arise upon entering into these contrasts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from unanticipated movements in the value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar. At December 31, 2008, the Fund had the following open forward foreign currency contracts:

(†) Debt securities(other than short-term obligations purchased with an original or remaining maturity of sixty days or less) are generally valued on the basis of evaluated bids furnished to the Fund by a pricing service recommended by the investment adviser and approved by the Board of Trustees, which service determines valuations for normal, institutional size-trading units of such securities using market information, transactions for comparable securities and various relationships between securities which are generally recognized by institutional traders. Equity securities, including closed-end investment companies and exchange-traded funds, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at market value, as reported by pricing services recommended by the investment adviser and approved by the Board of Trustees. Such pricing services generally use the security’s last sale price on the exchange or market where the security is primarily traded or, if there is no reported sale during the day, the closing bid price. Securities traded on the NASDAQ Global Select Market, NASDAQ Global Market and NASDAQ Capital Market are valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price(“NOCP”), or if lacking a NOCP, at the most recent bid quotation on the applicable NASDAQ Market. Broker-dealer bid quotations may also be used to value debt and equity securities where a pricing service does not price a security or where a pricing service does not provide a reliable price for the security. In instances where broker-dealer bid quotations are not available, certain securities held by the Fund may be valued on the basis of a price provided by a principal market maker. Short-term obligations purchased with an original or remaining maturity of sixty days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Fund’s investment adviser using consistently applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees. Investments in other open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each day.

 

     The Fund may hold securities traded in foreign markets. Foreign securities are valued at the market price in the foreign market. However, if events occurring after the close of the foreign market(but before the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange) are believed to materially affect the value of those securities, such securities are fair valued pursuant to procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. When fair valuing securities, the Fund may, among other things, use modeling tools or other processes that may take into account factors such as securities market activity and/or significant events that occur after the close of the foreign market and before the Fund calculates its net asset value.

     The books and records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. The value of securities, currencies and other assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars are translated into U.S. dollars based upon foreign exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period.

 

(††) Amount shown represents units. One unit represents a principal amount of 100.

 

(a) Federal Tax Information (Amounts exclude certain adjustments made at the end of the Fund’s fiscal year for tax purposes. Such adjustments are primarily due to wash sales. Amortization of premium on debt securities is excluded for tax purposes.):

 

     At December 31, 2008, the net unrealized depreciation on investments based on a cost of $285,360,322 for federal income tax purposes was as follows:

 

Aggregate gross unrealized appreciation for all investments in which there is an excess of value over tax cost

   $ 6,563,280  

Aggregate gross unrealized depreciation for all investments in which there is an excess of tax cost over value

     (77,905,480 )
        

Net unrealized depreciation

   $ (71,342,200 )
        

 

(b) Variable rate security. Rate as of December 31, 2008 is disclosed.

 

(c) Non-income producing due to bankruptcy filing.

 

(d) All or a portion of this security was on loan to brokers at December 31, 2008. The Fund has entered into an agreement with State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street Bank”), as agent of the Fund, to lend securities to certain designated borrowers. The loans are collateralized with cash or securities in an amount equal to at least 105% or 102% of the market value (including accrued interest) of the loaned international or domestic securities, respectively, when the loan is initiated. Thereafter, the value of the collateral must remain at least 102% of the market value (including accrued interest) of loaned securities for U.S. equities and U.S. corporate debt; at least 105% of the market value (including accrued interest) of loaned securities for non-U.S. equities; and at least 100% of the market value (including accrued interest) of loaned securities for U.S. government securities, sovereign debt issued by non-U.S. governments and non-U.S. corporate debt. In the event that the market value of the collateral falls below the required percentages described above, the borrower will deliver additional collateral on the next business day. As with other extensions of credit, the Fund may bear the risk of loss with respect to the investment of the collateral. The Fund invests cash collateral in short-term investments, a portion of the income from which is remitted to the borrowers and the remainder allocated between the Fund and State Street Bank as lending agent. The value (including accrued interest) of the security on loan to borrowers and the value of collateral held by the Fund with respect to such loans at December 31, 2008 were $31,075 and $31,640, respectively.

 

(e) Illiquid security. At December 31, 2008, the value of these securities amounted to $6,497,878 or 3.1% of net assets.

 

(f) Valued by management. At December 31, 2008, the value of these securities amounted to $1,882,121 or 0.9% of net assets.

 

(g) Non-income producing security.

 

(h) Step Bond: Coupon is a fixed rate for an initial period then resets at a specified date and rate.

 

(i) Variable rate security. Rate shown represents the weighted average rate at December 31, 2008.

 

(j) Future dividend payments have been eliminated as the issuer has been placed in conservatorship.

     Fair Value Measurements

 

     The Fund adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 (“FAS 157”), Fair Value Measurements, effective October 1, 2008. FAS 157 establishes a hierarchy for net asset value determination purposes in which various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

PORTFOLIO OF INVESTMENTS - as of December 31, 2008 (Unaudited)

Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical investments;

 

   

Level 2 - prices determined using other significant observable inputs that are observable either directly, or indirectly through corroboration with observable market data (which could include quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, credit risk, etc.);

 

   

Level 3 - prices determined using significant unobservable inputs for situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable such as when there is little or no market activity for an investment (unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments and would be based on the best information available).

 

     The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

 

     The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s investments as of December 31, 2008:

     New Accounting Pronouncement

 

     In March 2008, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities(“FAS 161”), was issued and will be effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. FAS 161 requires enhanced disclosures about funds’ derivative and hedging activities. Management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of FAS 161 may have on the Fund’s financial statement disclosures.

(‡) Principal amount stated in U.S. dollars unless otherwise noted.

 

(†) Debt securities (other than short-term obligations purchased with an original or remaining maturity of sixty days or less) are generally valued on the basis of evaluated bids furnished to the Fund by a pricing service recommended by the investment adviser and approved by the Board of Trustees, which service determines valuations for normal, institutional size-trading units of such securities using market information, transactions for comparable securities and various relationships between securities which are generally recognized by institutional traders. Equity securities, including closed-end investment companies and exchange-traded funds, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at market value, as reported by pricing services recommended by the investment adviser and approved by the Board of Trustees. Such pricing services generally use the security’s last sale price on the exchange or market where the security is primarily traded or, if there is no reported sale during the day, the closing bid price. Securities traded on the NASDAQ Global Select Market, NASDAQ Global Market and NASDAQ Capital Market are valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price (“NOCP”), or if lacking a NOCP, at the most recent bid quotation on the applicable NASDAQ Market. Broker-dealer bid quotations may also be used to value debt and equity securities where a pricing service does not price a security or where a pricing service does not provide a reliable price for the security. In instances where broker-dealer bid quotations are not available, certain securities held by the Fund may be valued on the basis of a price provided by a principal market maker. Future contracts are priced at their most recent settlement price. Short-term obligations purchased with an original or remaining maturity of sixty days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Fund’s investment adviser using consistently applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees. Investments in other open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each day.

 

     The Fund may hold securities traded in foreign markets. Foreign securities are valued at the market price in the foreign market. However, if events occurring after the close of the foreign market (but before the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange) are believed to materially affect the value of those securities, such securities are fair valued pursuant to procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. When fair valuing securities, the Fund may, among other things, use modeling tools or other processes that may take into account factors such as securities market activity and/or significant events that occur after the close of the foreign market and before the Fund calculates its net asset value.

 

     The books and records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. The value of securities, currencies and other assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars are translated into U.S. dollars based upon foreign exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period.

 

(a) Federal Tax Information (Amounts exclude certain adjustments made at the end of the Fund’s fiscal year for tax purposes. Such adjustments are primarily due to wash sales. Amortization of premium on debt securities is excluded for tax purposes.):

 

     At December 31, 2008, the net unrealized depreciation on investments based on a cost of $27,583,386 for federal income tax purposes was as follows:

 

Aggregate gross unrealized appreciation for all investments in which there is an excess of value over tax cost

   $ 484,419  

Aggregate gross unrealized depreciation for all investments in which there is an excess of tax cost over value

     (2,655,072 )
        

Net unrealized depreciation

   $ (2,170,653 )
        

 

     At September 30, 2008, the Fund had a capital loss carryforward of approximately $739,359 of which $3,797 expires on September 30, 2013: $186,919 expires on September 30, 2014: $326,220 expires on September 30, 2015 and $222,423 expires on September 30, 2016. At September 30, 2008 post-October capital loss deferrals were $257,177. These amounts may be available to offset future realized capital gains, if any, to the extent provided by regulations.

 

(b) Variable rate security. Rate as of December 31, 2008 is disclosed.

 

(c) All or a portion of this security is held as collateral for open futures contracts.

 

(d) It is the Fund’s policy that the market value of the collateral for repurchase agreements be at least equal to 102% of the repurchase price, including interest. The repurchase agreements are tri-party arrangements whereby the collateral is held in a segregated account for the benefit of the Fund and on behalf of the counterparty. Repurchase agreements could involve certain risks in the event of default or insolvency of the counterparty including possible delays or restrictions upon a Fund’s ability to dispose of the underlying securities.

Fair Value Measurements

The Fund adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 (“FAS 157”), Fair Value Measurements, effective October 1, 2008. FAS 157 establishes a hierarchy for net asset value determination purposes in which various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

 

   

Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical investments;

 

   

Level 2 - prices determined using other significant observable inputs that are observable either directly, or indirectly through corroboration with observable market data (which could include quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, credit risk, etc.);

 

   

Level 3 - prices determined using significant unobservable inputs for situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable such as when there is little or no market activity for an investment, (unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments and would be based on the best information available).

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

Other financial instruments are derivative instruments not reflected in investments carried at value and may include such instruments as futures contracts and forward contracts, which are valued at the unrealized appreciation/depreciation on the instrument.

The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s investments as of December 31, 2008:

New Accounting Pronouncement

In March 2008, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (“FAS 161”), was issued and will be effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. FAS 161 requires enhanced disclosures about funds’ derivative and hedging activities. Management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of FAS 161 may have on the Fund’s financial statement disclosures.

Futures Contracts

The Fund may enter into futures contracts. A futures contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell a particular commodity, instrument or index (e.g., an interest-bearing security) for a specified price on a specified future date.

When a Fund enters into a futures contract, it is required to deposit with (or for the benefit of) its broker as “initial margin” an amount of cash or short-term high-quality securities. As the value of the contract changes, the value of the futures contract position increases or declines. At the end of each trading day, the amount of such increase or decline is received or paid, respectively, by and to the holders of these positions. The amount received or paid is known as “variation margin.” Realized gain or loss on a futures position is equal to the net variation margin received or paid over the time the position is held, plus or minus the amount received or paid when the position is closed, minus brokerage commissions. When a Fund enters into a futures contract certain risks may arise such as illiquidity in the futures market, which may limit the Fund’s ability to close out a futures contract prior to settlement date, and unanticipated movements in the value of securities or interest rates. At December 31, 2008, open futures contracts purchased were as follows:

(†) Debt securities (other than short-term obligations purchased with an original or remaining maturity of sixty days or less) are generally valued on the basis of evaluated bids furnished to the Fund by a pricing service recommended by the investment adviser and approved by the Board of Trustees, which service determines valuations for normal, institutional size-trading units of such securities using market information, transactions for comparable securities and various relationships between securities which are generally recognized by institutional traders. Equity securities, including closed-end investment companies and exchange-traded funds, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at market value, as reported by pricing services recommended by the investment adviser and approved by the Board of Trustees. Such pricing services generally use the security’s last sale price on the exchange or market where primarily traded or, if there is no reported sale during the day, the closing bid price. Securities traded on the NASDAQ Global Select Market, NASDAQ Global Market and NASDAQ Capital Market are valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price (“NOCP”), or if lacking a NOCP, at the most recent bid quotation on the applicable NASDAQ Market. Broker-dealer bid quotations may also be used to value debt and equity securities where a pricing service does not price a security or where a pricing service does not provide a reliable price for the security. In instances where broker-dealer bid quotations are not available, certain securities held by the Fund may be valued on the basis of a price provided by a principal market maker. Future contracts are priced at their most recent settlement price. Short-term obligations purchased with an original or remaining maturity of sixty days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Fund’s investment adviser using consistently applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees. Investments in other open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each day.

 

     The Fund may hold securities traded in foreign markets. Foreign securities are valued at the market price in the foreign market. However, if events occurring after the close of the foreign market (but before the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange) are believed to materially affect the value of those securities, such securities are fair valued pursuant to procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. When fair valuing securities, the Fund may, among other things, use modeling tools or other processes that may take into account factors such as securities market activity and/or significant events that occur after the close of the foreign market and before the Fund calculates its net asset value.

 

     The books and records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. The value of securities, currencies and other assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars are translated into U.S. dollars based upon foreign exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period.

     Fair Value Measurements

 

     The Fund adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 (“FAS 157”), Fair Value Measurements, effective October 1, 2008. FAS 157 establishes a hierarchy for net asset value determination purposes in which various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

 

   

Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical investments;

 

   

Level 2 - prices determined using other significant observable inputs that are observable either directly, or indirectly through corroboration with observable market data (which could include quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, credit risk, etc.);

 

   

Level 3 - prices determined using significant unobservable inputs for situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable such as when there is little or no market activity for an investment (unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments and would be based on the best information available).

 

     The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

 

     The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s investments as of December 31, 2008:

Level 1 - Quoted Prices

New Accounting Pronouncement

In March 2008, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (“FAS 161”), was issued and will be effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. FAS 161 requires enhanced disclosures about funds’ derivative and hedging activities. Management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of FAS 161 may have on the Fund’s financial statement disclosures.

(†) Equity securities, including closed-end investment companies and exchange-traded funds, for which market quotations are readily available are valued at market value, as reported by pricing services recommended by the investment adviser and approved by the Board of Trustees. Such pricing services generally use the security’s last sale price on the exchange or market where the security is primarily traded or, if there is no reported sale during the day, the closing bid price. Securities traded on the NASDAQ Global Select Market, NASDAQ Global Market and NASDAQ Capital Market are valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price (“NOCP”), or if lacking a NOCP, at the most recent bid quotation on the applicable NASDAQ Market. Debt securities (other than short-term obligations purchased with an original or remaining maturity of sixty days or less) are generally valued on the basis of evaluated bids furnished to the Fund by a pricing service recommended by the investment adviser and approved by the Board of Trustees, which service determines valuations for normal, institutional-size trading units of such securities using market information, transactions for comparable securities and various relationships between securities which are generally recognized by institutional traders. Broker-dealer bid quotations may also be used to value debt and equity securities where a pricing service does not price a security or where a pricing service does not provide a reliable price for the security. In instances where broker-dealer bid quotations are not available, certain securities held by the Fund may be valued on the basis of a price provided by a principal market maker. Short-term obligations purchased with an original or remaining maturity of sixty days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Fund’s investment adviser using consistently applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees. Investments in other open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each day.

 

     The Fund may hold securities traded in foreign markets. Foreign securities are valued at the market price in the foreign market. However, if events occurring after the close of the foreign market (but before the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange) are believed to materially affect the value of those securities, such securities are fair valued pursuant to procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. When fair valuing securities, the Fund may, among other things, use modeling tools or other processes that may take into account factors such as securities market activity and/or significant events that occur after the close of the foreign market and before the Fund calculates its net asset value.

 

     The books and records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. The value of securities, currencies and other assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars are translated into U.S. dollars based upon foreign exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period.

(a) Federal Tax Information (Amounts exclude certain adjustments made at the end of the Fund’s fiscal year for tax purposes. Such adjustments are primarily due to wash sales.):

 

     At December 31, 2008, the net unrealized depreciation on investments based on a cost of $954,691,652 for federal income tax purposes was as follows:

 

Aggregate gross unrealized appreciation for all investments in which there is an excess of value over tax cost

   $ 46,837,886  

Aggregate gross unrealized depreciation for all investments in which there is an excess of tax cost over value

     (205,350,992 )
        

Net unrealized depreciation

   $ (158,513,106 )
        

 

     At September 30, 2008 post-October capital loss deferrals were $47,743,728. This amount may be available to offset future realized capital gains, if any, to the extent provided by regulations.

 

(b) Non-income producing security.

 

(c) It is the Fund’s policy that the market value of the collateral for repurchase agreements be at least equal to 102% of the repurchase price, including interest. The repurchase agreements are tri-party arrangements whereby the collateral is held in a segregated account for the benefit of the Fund and on behalf of the counterparty. Repurchase agreements could involve certain risks in the event of default or insolvency of the counterparty including possible delays or restrictions upon a Fund’s ability to dispose of the underlying securities.

     Fair Value Measurements

 

     The Fund adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 (“FAS 157”), Fair Value Measurements, effective October 1, 2008. FAS 157 establishes a hierarchy for net asset value determination purposes in which various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

 

   

Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical investments;

 

   

Level 2 - prices determined using other significant observable inputs that are observable either directly, or indirectly through corroboration with observable market data (which could include quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, credit risk, etc.);

 

   

Level 3 - prices determined using significant unobservable inputs for situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable such as when there is little or no market activity for an investment, (unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments and would be based on the best information available).

 

     The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

 

     The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s investments as of December 31, 2008:

     New Accounting Pronouncement

 

     In March 2008, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (“FAS 161”), was issued and will be effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. FAS 161 requires enhanced disclosures about funds’ derivative and hedging activities. Management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of FAS 161 will have on the Fund’s financial statement disclosures.

(†) Debt securities (other than short-term obligations purchased with an original or remaining maturity of sixty days or less) are generally valued on the basis of evaluated bids furnished to the Fund by a pricing service recommended by the investment adviser and approved by the Board of Trustees, which service determines valuations for normal, institutional size-trading units of such securities using market information, transactions for comparable securities and various relationships between securities which are generally recognized by institutional traders. Equity securities, including closed-end investment companies and exchange-traded funds, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at market value, as reported by pricing services recommended by the investment adviser and approved by the Board of Trustees. Such pricing services generally use the security’s last sale price on the exchange or market where the security is primarily traded or, if there is no reported sale during the day, the closing bid price. Securities traded on the NASDAQ Global Select Market, NASDAQ Global Market and NASDAQ Capital Market are valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price (“NOCP”), or if lacking a NOCP, at the most recent bid quotation on the applicable NASDAQ Market. Broker-dealer bid quotations may also be used to value debt and equity securities where a pricing service does not price a security or where a pricing service does not provide a reliable price for the security. In instances where broker-dealer bid quotations are not available, certain securities held by the Fund may be valued on the basis of a price provided by a principal market maker. Future contracts are priced at their most recent settlement price. Short-term obligations purchased with an original or remaining maturity of sixty days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Fund’s investment adviser using consistently applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees. Investments in other open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each day.

 

     TheFund may hold securities traded in foreign markets. Foreign securities are valued at the market price in the foreign market. However, if events occurring after the close of the foreign market (but before the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange) are believed to materially affect the value of those securities, such securities are fair valued pursuant to procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. When fair valuing securities, the Fund may, among other things, use modeling tools or other processes that may take into account factors such as securities market activity and/or significant events that occur after the close of the foreign market and before the Fund calculates its net asset value.

 

     The books and records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. The value of securities, currencies and other assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars are translated into U.S. dollars based upon foreign exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period.

 

(a) Federal Tax Information (Amounts exclude certain adjustments made at the end of the Fund’s fiscal year for tax purposes. Such adjustments are primarily due to wash sales.):

 

     At December 31, 2008, the net unrealized depreciation on investments based on a cost of $463,660,944 for federal income tax purposes was as follows:

 

Aggregate gross unrealized appreciation for all investments in which there is an excess of value over tax cost

   $ 7,429,526  

Aggregate gross unrealized depreciation for all investments in which there is an excess of tax cost over value

     (51,263,369 )
        

Net unrealized depreciation

   $ (43,833,843 )
        

 

     At September 30, 2008 post-October capital loss deferrals were $3,534,625. This amount may be available to offset future realized capital gains, if any, to the extent provided by regulations.

 

(b) Variable rate security. Rate as of December 31, 2008 is disclosed.

 

(c) All or a portion of this security has been segregated to cover requirements on TBA obligations and future contracts.

 

(d) Delayed Delivery. The Fund may purchase or sell securities on a when issued or forward commitment basis. Payment and delivery may take place a month or more after the date of the transaction. The price of the underlying securities and the date when the securities will be delivered and paid for are fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated. Losses may arise due to changes in the market value of the underlying securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract. Collateral consisting of liquid securities or cash and cash equivalents is maintained in an amount at least equal to these commitments with the custodian.

 

(e) Rate represents discount rate at time of purchase.

 

(f) It is the Fund’s policy that the market value of the collateral for repurchase agreements be at least equal to 102% of the repurchase price, including interest. The repurchase agreements are tri-party arrangements whereby the collateral is held in a segregated account for the benefit of the Fund and on behalf of the counterparty. Repurchase agreements could involve certain risks in the event of default or insolvency of the counterparty including possible delays or restrictions upon a Fund’s ability to dispose of the underlying securities.

 

144A 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 December 31, 2008, the total value of these securities amounted to $1,431,734 or 0.5% of net assets.

Fair Value Measurements

The Fund adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 (“FAS 157”), Fair Value Measurements, effective October 1, 2008. FAS 157 establishes a hierarchy for net asset value determination purposes in which various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

 

   

Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical investments;

PORTFOLIO OF INVESTMENTS – as of December 31, 2008 (Unaudited)

Loomis Sayles Securitized Asset Fund – continued

 

   

Level 2 - prices determined using other significant observable inputs that are observable either directly, or indirectly through corroboration with observable market data (which could include quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, credit risk, etc.);

 

   

Level 3 - prices determined using significant unobservable inputs for situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable such as when there is little or no market activity for an investment, (unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments and would be based on the best information available).

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

Other financial instruments are derivative instruments not reflected in investments carried at value and may include such instruments as futures contracts and forward contracts, which are valued at the unrealized appreciation/depreciation on the instrument.

The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s investments as of December 31, 2008:

Level 1 - Quoted Prices

   $ 1,248,875

New Accounting Pronouncement

In March 2008, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (“FAS 161”), was issued and will be effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. FAS 161 requires enhanced disclosures about funds’ derivative and hedging activities. Management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of FAS 161 may have on the Fund’s financial statement disclosures.

Futures Contracts

The Fund may enter into futures contracts. A futures contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell a particular commodity, instrument or index (e.g., an interest-bearing security) for a specified price on a specified future date.

When a Fund enters into a futures contract, it is required to deposit with (or for the benefit of) its broker as “initial margin” an amount of cash or short-term high-quality securities. As the value of the contract changes, the value of the futures contract position increases or declines. At the end of each trading day, the amount of such increase or decline is received or paid, respectively, by and to the holders of these positions. The amount received or paid is known as “variation margin.” Realized gain or loss on a futures position is equal to the net variation margin received or paid over the time the position is held, plus or minus the amount received or paid when the position is closed, minus brokerage commissions. When a Fund enters into a futures contract certain risks may arise such as illiquidity in the futures market, which may limit the Fund’s ability to close out a futures contract prior to settlement date, and unanticipated movements in the value of securities or interest rates. At December 31, 2008, open futures contracts purchased were as follows:

   Contracts    Notional
