Notes

(1) The Fund’s investments are carried at fair value which is defined as the price that the Fund would receive upon selling an investment in a timely transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market of the investment. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs established to classify fair value measurements for disclosure purposes is summarized in the three broad levels listed below.

Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.

Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit

risks, etc.).

Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining fair value of investments).

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

securities. The following is a summary of the inputs used to value each of the Fund’s investments as of March 31, 2011:

 

     Level 1      Level 2  

Asset-backed securities

           $ -             $ 5,738,292   

Corporate bonds

     -           450,844,147   

Non-convertible preferred stock

     16,876,400         -     

U.S. Government and Agency obligations

     -           21,173,283   

Total

           $   16,876,400           $   77,755,722   
   

There were no significant transfers between level 1 and level 2 during the quarter ended March 31, 2011.

(2) At December 31, 2010, the Fund’s most recent fiscal tax year end, based on a tax cost of investments of $484,555,873, the Fund

had gross unrealized appreciation of $14,700,415 and gross unrealized depreciation of $10,879,004, resulting in net unrealized appreciation of $3,821,411.

Other information regarding the Fund is available in the Fund’s most recent semi-annual and annual reports. This information is

available on the Fund’s website at www.DUCfund.com or the Securities and Exchange Commission’s website at www.sec.gov.
