At September 30, 2008, the Fund had sufficient cash and/or securities to cover commitments under these contracts.

 

The Fund adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 (FAS 157), “Fair Value Measurements”, effective January 1, 2008.  FAS 157 established a three-tier hierarchy to prioritize the assumptions, referred to as inputs, used in valuation techniques to measure fair value. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is 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 a fund’s 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.

 

At September 30, 2008, the inputs used in valuing the Fund’s investments, which are carried at value, were as follows:

*Other financial instruments are written call options, which are valued at the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on the instrument.

 

The Fund held no investments or other financial instruments as of December 31, 2007 whose fair value was determined using Level 3 inputs.
