This Combined Proxy Statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies on behalf of the Board of Directors or the Board of Trustees, as applicable, of the above-listed funds (each a “Fund” and, collectively, the “Funds”), to be voted at the 2005 Annual Meeting of Stockholders of each Fund (each, a “Meeting” and, collectively, the “Meetings”), to be held at the offices of Fund Asset Management, L.P. (“FAM”), 800 Scudders Mill Road, Plainsboro, New Jersey 08536, on Thursday, April 28, 2005, at the time specified in Exhibit A hereto. The approximate mailing date of this Combined Proxy Statement is March 25, 2005.

Each Fund is organized as a Maryland corporation, except MY Florida, which is organized as a Massachusetts business trust. In each jurisdiction, nomenclature varies. For ease and clarity of presentation, shares of common stock or common shares of beneficial interest of a Fund are referred to herein as “Shares” or “Shares of Common Stock,” shares of auction market preferred stock and auction market preferred shares of beneficial interest are referred to as “AMPS,” the holders of the outstanding Shares and AMPS are referred to as “stockholders,” for the Maryland corporations, the Articles of Incorporation and Articles Supplementary, and for the Massachusetts business trust, the Declaration of Trust and Certificate of Designation, are referred to separately or together as the “Charter,” the Board of Directors or Board of Trustees of each Fund is referred to as the “Board” or “Board of Directors,” and the Directors or Trustees of each Fund are referred to as “Directors.”

All properly executed proxies received prior to a Fund’s Meeting will be voted at that Meeting in accordance with the instructions marked thereon or otherwise as provided therein. Unless instructions to the contrary are marked, proxies will be voted:

“FOR” the election of the Director nominees of each Fund;

“FOR” approval of the proposed amendment to the fundamental investment restriction of the applicable Fund and

“FOR” approval of the amendment to the Charter of the applicable Fund.

Any proxy may be revoked at any time prior to the exercise thereof by giving written notice to the Secretary of the applicable Fund at that Fund’s address indicated above or by voting in person at the Meeting.

The Board of Directors of each Fund has fixed the close of business on February 28, 2005 as the record date (the “Record Date”) for the determination of stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote at the Meetings and at any adjournments thereof. Stockholders on the Record Date will be entitled to one vote for each share held, with no shares having cumulative voting rights. As of the Record Date, each Fund had outstanding the number of Shares and AMPS, if applicable, indicated in Exhibit A. To the knowledge of each Fund, as of the Record Date, no person is the beneficial owner of five percent or more of that Fund’s outstanding Shares or five percent or more of the outstanding AMPS of such Fund, if applicable. This Combined Proxy Statement is being provided to the holders of Shares and AMPS, if applicable, of each Fund.

The Board of Directors of each Fund knows of no business other than mentioned in Items 1 through 3, as applicable, of the Notice of Meeting that will be presented for consideration at its Meeting.

Each Director serves until his or her successor is elected and qualified, or until his or her death or resignation, or removal as provided in the Funds’ respective by-laws or charter or by statute, or until December 31 of the year in which he or she turns 72.

Committees and Board Meetings

The Board of each Fund maintains a standing Audit Committee and a standing Nominating Committee. Currently, all of the non-interested Directors, Ms. Ramo and Messrs. Bodurtha, Grills, London, Salomon and Swensrud, are members of each Fund’s Audit Committee. The Nominating Committee of each Fund consists of three of the non-interested Directors, Ms. Ramo and Messrs. London and Salomon.

Audit Committees

The principal responsibilities of each Audit Committee are the appointment, compensation and oversight of the Fund’s independent registered public accounting firm, including the resolution of disagreements regarding financial reporting between Fund management and such independent registered public accounting firm. The Audit Committee’s responsibilities include, without limitation, to (i) review with the independent registered public accounting firm the arrangements for and scope of annual and special audits and any other services provided by the independent registered public accounting firm to the Fund; (ii) discuss with the independent registered public accounting firm certain matters relating to the Fund’s financial statements, including any adjustment to such financial statements recommended by such independent registered public accounting firm or any other results of any audit; (iii) ensure that the independent registered public accounting firm submits on a periodic basis a formal written statement with respect to their independence, discuss with the independent registered public accounting firm any relationships or services disclosed in the statement that may impact the objectivity and independence of the Fund’s independent registered public accounting firm and recommend that the Board take appropriate action in response thereto to satisfy itself of the independent registered public accounting firm’s independence; and (iv) consider the comments of the independent registered public accounting firm with respect to the quality and adequacy of the Fund’s accounting and financial reporting policies and practices and internal controls and Fund management’s responses thereto. The Board of each Fund has adopted a written charter for the Audit Committee. Each Audit Committee has retained independent legal counsel to assist it in connection with these duties.

Each Fund’s Audit Committee also has received written disclosures and the letter required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1, as may be modified or supplemented, from Deloitte & Touche LLP (“D&T”), independent registered public accounting firm for all the Funds, except MH Insured II and MY Insured, which received such written disclosures from their independent registered public accounting firm, Ernst & Young LLP (“E&Y”). Each Audit Committee has discussed with D&T and E&Y, as applicable, such firm’s independence with respect to the Fund and certain matters required to be discussed by Statements on Auditing Standards No. 61. Each Audit Committee has considered whether the provision of non-audit services by the Fund’s independent registered public accounting firm is compatible with maintaining the independence of that registered public accounting firm.

Each Audit Committee also reviews and discusses the audit of the Fund’s financial statements with Fund management and the independent registered public accounting firm. If any material concerns arise during the course of the audit and the preparation of the audited financial statements mailed to stockholders and included in the Fund’s Annual Report to Stockholders, the Audit Committee would be notified by Fund management or the independent registered public accounting firm. The Audit Committees received no such notifications for any Fund. Following each Audit Committee’s review and discussion regarding the audit of the Fund’s financial statements with Fund management and the Fund’s independent registered public accounting firm, each Audit Committee recommended to the Directors that the Fund’s audited financial statements for the 2004 fiscal year (each Fund’s fiscal year end is set forth in Exhibit A) be included in each Fund’s Annual Report to Stockholders.

Nominating Committees

The principal responsibilities of each Nominating Committee are to identify individuals qualified to serve as non-interested Directors of the Fund and to recommend its nominees for consideration by the full Board. The non-interested Directors have retained independent legal counsel to assist them in connection with these

duties. While each Nominating Committee is solely responsible for the selection and nomination of the Fund’s non-interested Directors, the Nominating Committee may consider nominations for the office of Director made by Fund stockholders as it deems appropriate. Stockholders who wish to recommend a nominee should send nominations to the applicable Fund’s Secretary that include biographical information and set forth the qualifications of the proposed nominee. The Nominating Committee evaluates nominees from whatever source using the same standard. Each Fund adopted a Charter of the Nominating Committee on February 18, 2004, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit D.

In identifying and evaluating a potential nominee to serve as a non-interested Director of a Fund, the Nominating Committee will consider, among other factors, (i) the contribution that the person can make to the Board, with consideration being given to the person’s business and professional experience, education, and such other factors as the Committee may consider relevant; (ii) the character and integrity of the person; (iii) whether or not the person is an “interested person” as defined in the Investment Company Act and whether the person is otherwise qualified under applicable laws and regulations to serve as a Director; (iv) whether or not the person has any business, charitable, financial or family relationships with Fund management, the investment adviser or manager of the Fund, any sub-adviser to the Fund, Fund service providers or their affiliates; (v) whether the individual is financially literate pursuant to the listing standards of the NYSE or AMEX, as applicable; (vi) whether or not the person serves on boards of, or is otherwise affiliated with, competing financial service organizations or their related investment company complexes; (vii) whether or not the person is willing to serve, and willing and able to commit the time necessary to perform the duties of a Fund Director; and (viii) whether or not the selection and nomination of the person would be consistent with the Fund’s retirement policy.

During each Fund’s last fiscal year, each of the Directors then in office attended at least 75% of the aggregate of the total number of meetings of the Board of Directors of that Fund held during the fiscal year and, if a member, the total number of meetings of the Audit Committee and Nominating Committee held during the period for which he or she served. For information about the number of meetings of the Board, the Audit Committee and the Nominating Committee held during each Fund’s most recently completed fiscal year, see Exhibit A to the Combined Proxy Statement.

Stockholder Communications

Stockholders may send written communications to a Fund’s Board of Directors or to an individual Director by mailing such correspondence to the Director or Directors at P.O. Box 9095, Princeton, New Jersey 08543-9095. Such communications must be signed by the stockholder and identify the Fund, class and number of shares held by the stockholder. Properly submitted stockholder communications will, as appropriate, be forwarded to the entire Board or to the individual Director. Any stockholder proposal submitted pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), must continue to meet all the requirements of Rule 14a-8. See “Additional Information—Stockholder Proposals” herein.

Director Attendance at Stockholder Meetings

The Funds have no formal policy regarding Director attendance at stockholder meetings. None of the Funds’ Directors attended the 2004 Annual Meetings of Stockholders.

Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires the officers and Directors of each Fund and persons who own more than ten percent of a registered class of the Fund’s equity securities to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership on Forms 3, 4 and 5 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and the NYSE or the AMEX, as applicable. Officers, Directors and greater than ten percent stockholders of each Fund are required by SEC regulations to furnish the Fund with copies of all Forms 3, 4 and 5 they file.

Based solely on each Fund’s review of the copies of such forms, and amendments thereto, furnished to it during or with respect to its most recent fiscal year, and written representations from certain reporting persons that they were not required to file Form 5 with respect to the most recent fiscal year, each Fund believes that all of its officers, Directors, greater than ten percent beneficial owners and other persons subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act due to the requirements of Section 30 of the Investment Company Act (i.e., any advisory board member, investment adviser or affiliated person of the Fund’s investment adviser) have complied with all filing requirements applicable to them with respect to transactions during the Fund’s most recent fiscal year.

Interested Persons

Each Fund considers Mr. Doll to be an “interested person” of the Fund within the meaning of Section 2(a)(19) of the Investment Company Act based on his positions with FAM and its affiliates. Effective January 1, 2005, Mr. Doll was elected by each Fund’s Board as a Director of each Fund. Effective January 1, 2005, Mr. Doll was also elected as President of each Fund by the Fund’s Board.

Compensation of Directors

FAM, the investment adviser of each Fund, pays all compensation to all officers of each Fund and all Directors of each Fund who are affiliated with Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc. (“ML & Co.”) or its subsidiaries. Each Fund pays each non-interested Director an annual retainer of $125,000 for his or her services to MLIM/FAM-advised funds, including the Funds. The portion of the annual retainer allocated to each MLIM/FAM-advised fund is determined quarterly based on the relative net assets of each such fund. In addition, each non-interested Director receives a fee per in-person Board meeting attended and per in-person Audit Committee meeting attended. The annual per meeting fees paid to each non-interested Director aggregate $100,000 for all MLIM/FAM-advised funds for which that Director serves and are allocated equally among those funds. Each Co-Chairman of the Audit Committee receives an additional annual retainer in the amount of $50,000, which is paid quarterly and allocated to each MLIM/FAM-advised fund for which such Co-Chairman provides services based on the relative net assets of the fund.

Information relating to (i) the aggregate fees and expenses paid by each Fund to its non-interested Directors during each Fund’s most recently completed fiscal year is set forth in Exhibit A to this Combined Proxy Statement and (ii) the compensation required by each non-interested Director is set forth in Exhibit B to this Combined Proxy Statement.

Officers of Each Fund

Information relating to the officers of each Fund is set forth in Exhibit C to this Combined Proxy Statement. Officers of the Funds are elected and appointed by the Board of Directors and hold office until they resign, are removed or are otherwise disqualified to serve.

Stock Ownership

Set forth in Exhibit B to the Combined Proxy Statement is the following information for each Director Nominee: (i) the number of Shares of Common Stock and AMPS, if applicable, of each Fund owned; (ii) the aggregate dollar range such stock ownership represents; and (iii) the aggregate dollar range of securities owned in all registered funds overseen by the Director Nominee in the Merrill Lynch family of funds.

As of the Record Date, no non-interested Director Nominee or his or her immediate family members, owned beneficially or of record any securities of ML &Co. As of the Record Date, the Directors and officers of each Fund as a group owned an aggregate of less than 1% of the Fund’s outstanding shares. At such date, Mr. Doll, a Director and officer of each Fund, and the other officers of each Fund owned an aggregate of less than 1% of the outstanding shares of common stock of ML & Co.

See “Additional Information—Quorum and Vote Required” for the required vote necessary for the election of the Director Nominees with respect to each Fund.

The Board of Directors of each Fund recommends that the stockholders vote “FOR” the election of the Director Nominees.

ITEM 2. APPROVAL OF CHANGE TO FUNDAMENTAL INVESTMENT RESTRICTION

The Board of each of Apex, MuniEnhanced, MY Arizona, MY California MY California Insured, MY Florida, MY Fund, MY Insured, MY Michigan Insured II, MY New Jersey, MY New York, MY Quality and MY Quality II has approved, and recommends that Fund stockholders approve, the amendment to the investment restriction of the Fund prohibiting investment in other investment companies, except under certain circumstances. The investment restriction is a fundamental policy of each Fund and may not be changed without stockholder approval.

The investment restriction as proposed to be amended is set forth below. The language to be added appears in bold face type.

The Fund may not:

Purchase securities of other investment companies, except (i) in connection with a merger, consolidation, acquisition or reorganization, (ii) by purchase of shares of tax-exempt money market funds advised by the Investment Adviser or its affiliates (as defined in the Investment Company Act) to the extent permitted by an exemptive order issued to the Fund by the Securities and Exchange Commission, or (iii) by purchase in the open market of securities of closed-end investment companies and only if immediately thereafter not more than 10% of the Fund’s total assets would be invested in such securities.

Each Fund has adopted a fundamental investment restriction that provides that a Fund may not invest in other investment companies except under certain specified circumstances. You are being asked to approve changes to that fundamental investment restriction that would allow each Fund to invest in other investment companies by purchasing shares of tax-exempt money market funds advised by the Fund’s Investment Adviser and its affiliates as permitted by an exemptive order issued to each Fund by the SEC (the “SEC Order”). This change will make it possible for each Fund, in the future, to invest uninvested cash balances in the shares of affiliated tax-exempt money market funds. Uninvested cash might arise from a variety of sources including

dividend or interest payments, unsettled securities transactions, reserves held for investment strategy purposes, scheduled maturity of investments or liquidation of portfolio securities. Any such investment will be on the same terms and on the same basis as other stockholders in such tax-exempt money market funds, except that shares of tax-exempt money market funds sold to and redeemed by a Fund will not be subject to a sales load, redemption fee, distribution fee under a Rule 12b-1 plan or a service fee, and if the shares are subject to any such fee, the Investment Adviser will waive its advisory fee in an amount necessary to offset the amount of any such fees incurred. If such investment would be subject to an advisory fee, the Fund’s Investment Adviser has agreed to waive a portion of its advisory fee in an amount to offset the amount of fees incurred by the Fund. The SEC Order permits a Fund to invest up to 25% of its total assets in an affiliated tax-exempt money market fund. If the proposed amendment is adopted, each Fund will interpret the amended restriction in light of the existing SEC Order or as it may be amended in the future.

The Board of each Fund believes that investment in affiliated tax-exempt money market funds would provide each Fund with an efficient and cost-effective means of investing uninvested cash balances.

See “Additional Information—Quorum and Vote Required” for the required vote necessary for the approval of the change to the fundamental investment restriction with respect to each applicable Fund.

The Board of Directors of each Fund recommends that the stockholders of that Fund vote FOR the proposal to amend the Fund’s fundamental investment restriction regarding investing in other investment companies.

ITEM 3. PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO ARTICLES SUPPLEMENTARY OR
CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATION

At meetings held in November 2004, the Board of each of the Funds approved amendments to Section 5(c) of the Articles Supplementary or Certificate of Designation, as applicable, of that Fund. The proposed amendment of Section 5(c) will affect issued and outstanding AMPS. The proposed amendment is described below and a form of amended Section 5(c) for each Fund is attached as Exhibit E to this Combined Proxy Statement. The Board of each Fund has declared the amendment advisable and has directed that the proposed amendment be submitted to the stockholders of each of the Funds for approval at the Meeting. The Boards recommend that the stockholders of each Fund approve the proposed amendment to that Fund’s Articles Supplementary or Certificate of Designation.

Currently, the Articles Supplementary or Certificate of Designation of each Fund require the approval of a majority of a Fund’s outstanding shares of AMPS in order to issue any additional shares of AMPS or any other preferred stock. The proposed amendment would delete this requirement and permit each Fund, upon Board approval, to issue additional shares of preferred stock, including AMPS, without obtaining stockholder approval, provided that such additional preferred stock does not rank prior to the AMPS or any other outstanding preferred stock in a Fund’s capital structure.

The proposed amendment provides the Board and each Fund with greater flexibility to adjust a Fund’s leverage in response to market conditions. The proposed amendment permits the Board to authorize a Fund to issue additional AMPS in order to maintain the Fund’s targeted level of financial leverage without the time delays and costs involved with seeking stockholder approval each time a Fund wishes to issue additional AMPS.

The issuance of additional AMPS may provide holders of Shares of Common Stock with a potentially higher yield or at least provide the Fund with additional income to maintain the current level of its monthly dividend. Further, the issuance of additional leverage will enable each Fund to be more in line with the leverage percentages of its peer funds and therefore be on more of a level playing field with respect to overall performance comparisons. The use of leverage, however, involves certain risks for holders of Shares of Common Stock, including the greater likelihood of higher volatility of the Fund’s yield, its net asset value and the market price of the Shares of Common Stock. Furthermore, since any decline in the value of the Fund’s investments will affect only the holders of Shares of Common Stock, in a declining market the use of leverage will cause the Fund’s net asset value to decrease more than it would if the Fund were not leveraged. This decrease in net asset value will likely also cause a decline in the market price for Shares of Common Stock. There can be no assurance that the Fund will earn a higher yield or return on its investment portfolio than the then current dividend rate (and any additional distribution) it pays on the AMPS. Under certain circumstances, when the Fund is required to allocate taxable income to holders of AMPS, the Fund anticipates that the terms of any additional AMPS will require the Fund to make an additional distribution to such holders in an amount approximately equal to the tax liability resulting from such allocation. Under certain conditions, the benefits of leverage to holders of Shares of Common Stock will be reduced or eliminated, and the Fund’s leveraged capital structure could result in a lower yield or return to holders of Shares of Common Stock than if the Fund were not leveraged. Leverage also creates the risk that the investment return on the Fund’s Shares of Common Stock will be reduced to the extent the dividends paid on preferred stock and other expenses of the preferred stock exceed the income earned by the Fund on its investments. If the Fund is liquidated, preferred stockholders will be entitled to receive liquidating distributions before any distribution is made to holders of Shares of Common Stock.

The fee paid to the Investment Adviser for investment advisory and management services is based on the Fund’s average weekly net assets, including assets acquired from the sale of preferred stock. Therefore, the fee paid to the Investment Adviser will increase as a result of any issuance of additional AMPS or other preferred stock.

Any issuance of additional shares of preferred stock by a Fund must be in compliance with the 200% asset coverage requirement of Section 18 of the Investment Company Act. Also, the Funds currently anticipate that any additional shares of preferred stock to be issued would also be AMPS and that any such AMPS would be rated by nationally recognized statistical rating organizations (“NRSROs”) as are all currently outstanding AMPS. These NRSROs, in rating the additional AMPS, will impose their own asset coverage requirements on the additional AMPS.

If additional AMPS or other shares of preferred stock are issued by a Fund, except as indicated below and as otherwise required by applicable law, holders of shares of any newly issued AMPS or other preferred stock will have equal voting rights with outstanding Shares of Common Stock and AMPS (one vote per share) and will vote together with holders of outstanding Shares of Common Stock and AMPS as a single class.

In connection with the election of a Fund’s Board, holders of shares of any newly issued AMPS or other preferred stock along with holders of outstanding AMPS, voting together as a separate class, will be entitled to elect two of the Fund’s Board members, and the remaining Board members will be elected by all holders of Shares of Common Stock and AMPS. If at any time dividends on shares of the Fund’s preferred stock shall be unpaid in an amount equal to two full years’ dividends thereon, the holders of any newly issued AMPS or other preferred stock and outstanding AMPS, voting together as a separate class, will be entitled to elect a majority of the Fund’s Board members until all dividends in default have been paid or declared and set apart for payment. Also, the affirmative vote of the holders of any newly issued AMPS or other preferred stock and the outstanding AMPS, voting together as a separate class, will be required to approve any plan of reorganization adversely affecting such shares or any action requiring a vote of security holders under Section 13(a) of the Investment Company Act, including any vote to convert the Fund to an open-end investment company or to change the Fund’s fundamental investment policies.

Stockholders will not be entitled to appraisal rights under Maryland law with respect to Maryland corporations and under Massachusetts law with respect to Massachusetts business trusts.

See “Additional Information—Quorum and Vote Required” for the required vote necessary for the approval of the Charter amendment for the listed Funds.

The Board of Directors of each Fund recommends that the stockholders vote “FOR” the proposed amendment to the Fund’s Articles Supplementary or Certificate of Designation, as applicable.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Expenses and Methods of Proxy Solicitation

The expenses of preparation, printing and mailing of the enclosed forms of proxy, the accompanying Notice and this Combined Proxy Statement will be borne by each Fund in proportion to its relative net assets. The Funds will reimburse banks, brokers and others for their reasonable expenses in forwarding proxy solicitation material to the beneficial owners of Shares of Common Stock and AMPS of the Funds.

In order to obtain the necessary quorum at each Meeting, supplementary solicitation may be made by mail, telephone, telegraph or personal interview by officers of each Fund. Each Fund has retained Georgeson Shareholder, 17 State Street, New York, New York 10004, to assist in the solicitation of proxies at a cost of approximately $3,500 for each Fund, plus aggregate out-of-pocket expenses of approximately $248,000.

Quorum and Vote Required

For the Funds listed below, a quorum consists of a majority of the shares entitled to vote at the Meetings (whether Shares of Common Stock only or Shares of Common Stock and AMPS, as applicable), present in person or by proxy:

Apex (Shares of Common Stock only)
MuniEnhanced (Shares of Common Stock and AMPS)
MY Arizona (Shares of Common Stock and AMPS)

MY California (Shares of Common Stock and AMPS)
MY California Insured (Shares of Common Stock and AMPS)
MY Florida (Shares of Common Stock and AMPS)
MY Fund (Shares of Common Stock and AMPS)
MY Insured (Shares of Common Stock and AMPS)
MY Michigan Insured II (Shares of Common Stock and AMPS)
MY New Jersey (Shares of Common Stock and AMPS)
MY New York Insured (Shares of Common Stock and AMPS)
MY Quality (Shares of Common Stock and AMPS)

MH California Insured (Shares of Common Stock and AMPS)
MH Insured II (Shares of Common Stock and AMPS)

For Funds with Shares of Common Stock and AMPS, the quorum requirements must be met for holders of Shares of Common Stock and AMPS, each considered separately as a class.

Assuming a quorum is present, approval of Items 1 and 3 will require the affirmative vote of stockholders holding at least the percentage of Shares of Common Stock and AMPS indicated in the chart below. For purposes of Item 1, a “plurality of the votes” cast means the candidate must receive more votes than any other candidate for the same position, but not necessarily a majority of the votes cast. The vote required for approval of Item 2 is the affirmative vote of the lesser of (i) 67% of the shares represented at the Meeting at which more than 50% of the outstanding shares of the applicable Fund are represented or (ii) more than 50% of the outstanding shares of the applicable Fund (an “Investment Company Act Majority”). The Investment Company Act Majority must be obtained by the Shares of Common Stock and AMPS, voting together as a single class, and by the AMPS, voting separately as a class.

If, by the time scheduled for a Meeting, a quorum of stockholders is not present or if a quorum is present but sufficient votes to allow action on one or more proposals are not received from the stockholders, the persons named as proxies may propose one or more adjournments of the Meeting to permit further solicitation of proxies from stockholders. Any such adjournment will require the affirmative vote of a majority of the Shares of Common Stock and AMPS, if applicable, of the Fund present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the time of the Meeting to be adjourned. The persons named as proxies will vote in favor of any such adjournment if they believe the adjournment and additional proxy solicitation are reasonable and in the best interests of the Fund’s stockholders.

All Shares of Common Stock and AMPS represented by properly executed proxies, unless such proxies have previously been revoked, will be voted at each Meeting in accordance with the directions on the proxies; if no direction is indicated, the Shares of Common Stock and AMPS will be voted:

“FOR” the Director Nominees;

“FOR” the approval of an amendment to a fundamental investment restriction for each applicable Fund; and

“FOR” the approval of the Charter amendment for each applicable Fund.

Broker Non-Votes and Abstentions

Broker-dealer firms, including Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated (“MLPF&S”), holding shares of a Fund in “street name” for the benefit of their customers and clients, will request the instructions of such customers and clients on how to vote their shares on each Item before the Meeting. The Funds will include shares held of record by broker-dealers as to which such authority has been granted in its tabulation of the total number of shares present for purposes of determining whether the necessary quorum of stockholders of each Fund exists. The Funds understand that, under the rules of the NYSE, such broker-dealer firms may, without instructions from their customers and clients, grant authority to the proxies designated to vote on the election of Directors (Item 1) if no instructions have been received prior to the date specified in the broker-dealer firm’s request for voting instructions. With respect to the Shares of Common Stock of the Funds, broker-dealer firms, including MLPF&S, will not be permitted to grant voting authority without instructions with respect to the amendment to the fundamental investment restriction (Item 2) or the proposed Charter amendment (Item 3). Shares of AMPS of any Fund held in “street name,” however, may be voted by broker-dealer firms without instructions under certain conditions with respect to the approval of non-routine matters such as Item 2 or Item 3, as applicable, and counted for purposes of establishing a quorum of that Fund if no instructions are received one business day before the applicable Meeting or, if adjourned, one business day before the day to which the Meeting is adjourned. These conditions include, among others, that (i) with respect to each Fund, at least 30% of that Fund’s AMPS outstanding have voted on the Item, (ii) with respect to each Fund, less than 10% of that Fund’s AMPS outstanding have voted against the Item and (iii) with respect to each Fund, holders of that Fund’s Shares of Common Stock have voted to approve the Item. In such instances, the broker-dealer firm will vote such uninstructed shares of AMPS on the Item in the same proportion as the votes cast by all holders of that Fund’s AMPS who voted on the Item. MLPF&S has advised each Fund that if it votes shares held in its name for which no instructions have been received, except as limited by agreement or applicable law, (a) with respect to the election of Directors (Item 1) it will do so with respect to Shares of Common Stock and AMPS in the

same proportion as the votes received from beneficial owners of those Shares of Common Stock and AMPS, if applicable, for which instructions have been received, whether or not held in nominee name and (b) with respect to the amendment to the fundamental investment restriction (Item 2) or the amendment to the Fund’s Charter (Item 3), it will do so with respect to the AMPS only, in the same proportion as the votes received from beneficial owners of AMPS for which instructions have been received, whether or not held in nominee name. Proxies that are returned to a Fund but that are marked “abstain” or on which a broker-dealer has declined to vote on any non-routine proposal (“broker non-votes”) will be counted as present for the purposes of determining a quorum. Abstentions and broker non-votes will not be counted as votes cast. Therefore, abstentions and broker non-votes will not have an effect on the vote on Item 1 for any Fund, except for MY Florida; in the case of MY Florida, abstentions and broker non-votes will have the same effect as a vote against Item 1. For all Funds, abstentions and broker non-votes will have the same effect as a vote against Items 2 and 3.

Other Matters

Management knows of no other matters to be presented at the Meetings. However, if other matters are presented for a vote at the Meeting or any adjournments thereof, the proxy holders will vote the Shares of Common Stock and AMPS represented by properly executed proxies according to their judgment on those matters.

Independent Registered Public Accounting Firms’ Fees

The SEC’s auditor independence rules require the Audit Committee of each Fund to pre-approve (a) all audit and permissible non-audit services provided by the Fund’s independent registered public accounting firm directly to the Fund and (b) those permissible non-audit services provided by the Fund’s independent registered public accounting firm to the Fund’s Investment Adviser and any entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with the Investment Adviser that provides ongoing services to the Fund (the “Affiliated Service Providers”), if the services relate directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Fund.

The first two tables below set forth for each Fund, for its two most recent fiscal years the fees billed by its independent registered public accounting firm for (a) all audit and non-audit services provided directly to the Fund and (b) those non-audit services provided to the Fund’s Affiliated Service Providers that relate directly to the Fund’s operations and financial reporting, and, therefore, require Audit Committee pre-approval. Services under the caption:

•

Audit Fees are for the audit of the Fund’s annual financial statements included in the Fund’s reports to stockholders and in connection with statutory and regulatory filing or engagements;

•

Audit-Related Fees include assurance and related services reasonably related to the performance of the audit of financial statements not included in Audit Fees;

•

Tax Fees include tax compliance, tax advice and tax planning; and

•

All Other Fees are for other products and services provided.

Each Fund also is required to disclose the total non-audit fees paid to its independent registered public accounting firm, for services rendered to the Fund and its Affiliated Service Providers regardless of whether those fees were pre-approved by the Audit Committee.

The fiscal year end for each Fund is set forth in Exhibit A to this Combined Proxy Statement.

Fees for audit and non-audit services provided directly to the Fund:

Primarily associated with project management of non-financial service systems implementations, advisory and management consulting services, and examinations of internal controls and investment management performance returns for Affiliated Service Providers. Fees are also related to the performance of agreed upon compliance procedures associated with the Fund’s AMPS and tax compliance services associated with reviewing the Fund’s tax returns.

††

Primarily associated with corporate tax consulting, cash flow analyses, and quality enhancement and education seminars for personnel of Affiliated Service Providers. Fees are also related to the performance of agreed upon compliance procedures associated with the Fund’s AMPS and tax compliance services associated with reviewing the Fund’s tax returns.

The Audit Committee of each Fund has reviewed the non-audit services provided by the Fund’s independent registered public accounting firm to the Fund’s Affiliated Service Providers that were not subject to the Audit Committee’s pre-approval and has determined that the provision of such services is compatible with maintaining the independence of the independent registered public accounting firm.

Audit Committee’s Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures

The Audit Committee of each Fund has adopted policies and procedures with regard to the pre-approval of services. Audit, audit-related and tax compliance services provided to a Fund on an annual basis require specific pre-approval by the Fund’s Audit Committee. As noted above, the Audit Committee also must approve other non-audit services provided to a Fund and those non-audit services provided to the Fund’s Affiliated Service Providers that relate directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Fund. Certain of these non-audit services that the Audit Committee believes are (a) consistent with the SEC’s auditor independence rules and (b) routine and recurring services that will not impair the independence of the independent registered public accounting firm may be approved by the Audit Committee without consideration on a specific case-by-case basis (“general pre-approval”). However, such services will only be deemed pre-approved provided that any individual project does not exceed $5,000 attributable to the Fund or $50,000 for the project as a whole. Any proposed services exceeding the pre-approved cost levels will require specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee, as will any other services not subject to general pre-approval (e.g. unanticipated but permissible services). The Audit Committee is informed of each service approved subject to general pre-approval at the next regularly scheduled in-person board meeting.

Non-audit services provided to a Fund’s Affiliated Service Providers that have a direct impact on the operations or financial reporting of the Fund must be pre-approved by the Audit Committee of ML & Co. in addition to pre-approval by the Fund’s Audit Committee.

The independent registered public accounting firm annually will provide the Audit Committee with a detailed analysis of all fees paid by ML & Co. and its affiliates.

Other

Representatives of D&T and E&Y, as applicable, are expected to be present at the Meetings and will have an opportunity to make a statement if they so desire and to respond to questions from stockholders.

Address of Investment Adviser

The principal office of FAM is located at 800 Scudders Mill Road, Plainsboro, New Jersey 08536.

Annual Report Delivery

Each Fund will furnish, without charge, a copy of its Annual Report for the Fund’s last fiscal year to any stockholder upon request. Such requests should be directed to the applicable Fund, P.O. Box 9011, Princeton, New Jersey 08543-9011, Attention: Fund Secretary, or to 1-800-637-3863.

Stockholder Proposals

If a stockholder of any Fund (with the exception of CHY V and CHY VI, for which information is provided in the next paragraph) intends to present a proposal at the 2006 Annual Meeting of Stockholders of such Fund, each of which is anticipated to be held in April 2006, and desires to have the proposal included in the Fund’s proxy statement and form of proxy for that meeting, the stockholder must deliver the proposal to the offices of the appropriate Fund by November 23, 2005. The persons named as proxies in the proxy materials for the 2006 Annual Meeting of Stockholders for each of the Funds (except CHY V and CHY VI) may exercise discretionary authority with respect to any stockholder proposal presented at such meeting if written notice of such proposal has not been received by the Fund by February 6, 2006. Written proposals and notices should be sent to the Secretary of the respective Fund, 800 Scudders Mill Road, Plainsboro, New Jersey 08536.

CHY V and CHY VI each expects to hold its next Annual Meeting of Stockholders in April 2006. Proposals of stockholders intended to be presented at the meetings must be received by the Funds by November 23, 2005 for inclusion in the applicable Fund’s proxy statement and form of proxy for that meeting. The By-Laws of CHY V and CHY VI generally require advance notice be given to the Fund in the event a stockholder desires to transact any business from the floor at an Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Notice of

any such business must be in writing and received at the Fund’s principal executive office during the period from January 29, 2006 to February 28, 2006. Written proposals and notices should be sent to the Secretary of the Fund, 800 Scudders Mill Road, Plainsboro, New Jersey 08536.

Exhibit D

CHARTER OF THE NOMINATING COMMITTEE

Organization

The Nominating Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors/Trustees for the registered investment companies (each a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”) listed on Exhibit A attached hereto shall be composed solely of Directors/Trustees who are not “interested persons” of the Fund as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), and who are “independent” as defined in the New York Stock Exchange and the American Stock Exchange (each, an “Exchange”) listing standards (if applicable) (“Independent Directors”). The Board of Directors/Trustees of the Fund (the “Board”) shall appoint the members of the Committee (which may or may not be all of the Independent Directors) and shall designate the Chairman of the Committee. The Committee shall have authority to retain outside counsel and other advisors the Committee deems appropriate and shall have the sole authority to approve the compensation and other terms of their retention.

Responsibilities

The Committee shall identify individuals qualified to serve as Independent Directors of the Fund and shall recommend its nominees for consideration by the full Board.

Identification And Evaluation Of Potential Nominees

In identifying and evaluating a person as a potential nominee to serve as an Independent Director of the Fund, the Committee should consider among other factors it may deem relevant:

•

the contribution which the person can make to the Board, with consideration being given to the person’s business and professional experience, education and such other factors as the Committee may consider relevant;

•

the character and integrity of the person;

•

whether or not the person is an “interested person” as defined in the 1940 Act and whether the person is otherwise qualified under applicable laws and regulations to serve as a Director or Independent Director of the Fund;

•

whether or not the person has any relationships that might impair his or her independence, such as any business, charitable, financial or family relationships with Fund management, the investment adviser or manager of the Fund, Fund service providers or their affiliates;

•

whether or not the person is financially literate pursuant to the applicable Exchange’s audit committee membership standards;

•

whether or not the person serves on boards of, or is otherwise affiliated with, competing financial service organizations or their related investment company complexes;

D-1

•

whether or not the person is willing to serve, and willing and able to commit the time necessary for the performance of the duties of a Director of the Fund;

•

whether or not the selection and nomination of the person would be consistent with the requirements of the Fund’s retirement policy.

While the Committee is solely responsible for the selection and nomination of the Fund’s Independent Directors, the Committee may consider nominations for the office of Director made by Fund stockholders or by management in the same manner as it deems appropriate. Stockholders who wish to recommend a nominee should send nominations to the Secretary of the Fund which include biographical information and set forth the qualifications of the proposed nominee. The Secretary of the Fund will forward all nominations received to the Committee.

Quorum

A majority of the members of the Committee shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business, and the act of a majority of the members of the Committee present at any meeting at which there is quorum shall be the act of the Committee.

Nomination Of Directors

After a determination by the Committee that a person should be nominated as an Independent Director of the Fund, the Committee shall present its recommendation to the full Board for its consideration and, where appropriate, to the Independent Directors.

Meetings

The Committee may meet either on its own or in conjunction with meetings of the Board. Meetings of the Committee may be held in person, video conference or by conference telephone. The Committee may take action by unanimous written consent in lieu of a meeting.

Adopted: February 18, 2004
