Notes to
Portfolio of Investments (unaudited)
The Fund adopted
Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No.
157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157), effective January 1,
2008. In accordance with SFAS 157, fair
value is defined as the price that the Fund would
receive to sell an investment or pay to transfer a liability in a
timely transaction with an independent
buyer in the principal market, or in the absence of a principal market the
most advantageous market for the
investment or liability. SFAS 157 establishes a three-tier hierarchy to
distinguish between (1) inputs that
reflect the assumptions market participants would use in valuing an asset or
liability developed based on market data
obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable
inputs) and (2) inputs that reflect
the reporting entitys own assumptions about the assumptions market
participants would use in valuing an
asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the
circumstances (unobservable inputs) and
to establish classification of fair value measurements for disclosure
purposes. Various inputs are used in
determining the value of the Funds investments. The inputs are
summarized in the three broad levels listed
below.
Level 1 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
the Funds 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.
The following is a summary of the inputs used as of March 31,
2009 in valuing the Funds investments carried at value:

Security
Valuation
Securities
listed on a foreign exchange are valued at their closing price.
Unlisted securities and listed securities
not traded on the valuation date for which market quotations are readily
available are valued at the mean between
the current bid and asked prices obtained from reputable brokers.
Equity securities listed on a U.S.
exchange are valued at the latest quoted sales price on the valuation date.
Equity securities listed or traded on
NASDAQ, for which market quotations are available, are valued at the
NASDAQ Official Closing Price. Debt
securities purchased with remaining maturities of 60 days or less are
valued at amortized cost, if it
approximates market value.
All other securities and
investments for which market values are not readily available, including
restricted
securities,
and those securities for which it is inappropriate to determine prices in
accordance with the
aforementioned procedures, are valued at fair value as determined in
good faith under procedures adopted by the
Board of Directors (the Directors), although the
actual calculations may be done by others. Factors considered
in making this determination may include,
but are not limited to, information obtained by contacting the issuer,
analysts, or the appropriate stock
exchange (for exchange-traded securities), analysis of the issuers financial
statements or other available documents
and, if necessary, available information concerning other securities in
similar circumstances.
Most foreign markets close before the New York Stock
Exchange (NYSE). Occasionally, developments that could affect the closing
prices of securities and other assets may occur between the times at which
valuations
of such
securities are determined (that is, close of the foreign market on which the
securities trade) and the
close of business on the NYSE. If these developments
are expected to materially affect the value of the
securities, the valuations may be adjusted to reflect
the estimated fair value as of the close of the NYSE, as
determined in good faith under procedures
established by the Directors.
Item 2. Controls and Procedures.
(a) The
Funds principal executive officer and principal financial officer have
concluded that the Funds disclosure controls and procedures are sufficient to
ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Fund in this Form N-Q
was recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods
specified in the Securities and Exchange Commissions rules and forms,
based upon such officers evaluation of these controls and procedures as of a
date within 90 days of the filing date of the report.
(b) There
were no changes in the Funds internal control over financial reporting that
occurred during the registrants fiscal quarter that has materially affected,
or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Funds internal control over
financial reporting.
