At March 31, 2012, the Fund had sufficient cash and/or securities to cover commitments under these contracts.

The Fund is subject to equity price risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. The Fund writes covered call options on individual stocks above the current value of the stock to generate premium income. In writing call options on individual stocks, the Fund in effect, sells potential appreciation in the value of the applicable stock above the exercise price in exchange for the option premium received. The Fund retains the risk of loss, minus the premium received, should the price of the underlying stock decline. The Fund is not subject to counterparty credit risk with respect to its written options as the Fund, not the counterparty, is obligated to perform under such derivatives.

At March 31, 2012, the aggregate fair value of derivative instruments (not considered to be hedging instruments for accounting disclosure purposes) in a liability position and whose primary underlying risk exposure is equity price risk was $15,880,455.

Under generally accepted accounting principles for fair value measurements, a three-tier hierarchy to prioritize the assumptions, referred to as inputs, is 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)

In cases where the inputs used to measure fair value fall in different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level disclosed is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

At March 31, 2012, the hierarchy of inputs used in valuing the Fund’s investments and open derivative instruments, which are carried at value, were as follows:

 

Asset Description    Level 1     Level 2      Level 3      Total  

Common Stocks

   $     593,819,265   $ —         $      —         $     593,819,265

   $ 593,819,265      $     29,473,160       $ —         $ 623,292,425

Total

   $ (15,880,455   $ —         $ —         $ (15,880,455

 

* The level classification by major category of investments is the same as the category presentation in the Portfolio of Investments.

The Fund held no investments or other financial instruments as of December 31, 2011 whose fair value was determined using Level 3 inputs. At March 31, 2012, there were no investments transferred between Level 1 and Level 2 during the fiscal year to date then ended.
