Notes

Securities Valuation:

The Fund values its fixed income securities by using market quotations, prices provided by market makers or estimates of market values obtained from yield data relating to instruments or securities with similar characteristics in accordance with procedures established by the Board of Directors of the Fund. The relative liquidity of some securities in the Fund’s portfolio may adversely affect the ability of the Fund to accurately value such securities. Any securities or other assets for which such current market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith under procedures established by and under the general supervision and responsibility of the Fund’s Board of Directors.

Debt securities having a remaining maturity of 60 days or less when purchased and debt securities originally purchased with maturities in excess of 60 days but which currently have maturities of 60 days or less are valued at cost adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts, which approximates market value.

Investments in mutual funds are valued at their net asset value as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange on the date of valuation.

The United States federal income tax basis of the Fund’s investments and the net unrealized depreciation as of September 30, 2006 was as follows:

 

Tax Basis of

Investment

  Unrealized
Appreciation
  Unrealized
Depreciation
  Net Unrealized
Depreciation
$466,218,193   $8,831,965   $22,833,042   $14,001,077
