Notes to Portfolio of Investments

Securities Valuation

The Registrant’s Board of Directors has adopted Valuation and Liquidity Procedures (the “Procedures”) to be used in determining the value of the assets held by the Registrant. These Procedures were revised and approved by the Board of Directors on December 9, 2008. In accordance with the Procedures, investments are stated at current market value. Investments for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the last quoted closing price on the date of determination as obtained from a pricing source. If no such trade price is available, such investments are valued at the last quoted bid price or, if unavailable, as obtained from a pricing source.

Short-term debt securities which mature in more than 60 days are valued at current market quotations. Short-term debt securities which mature in 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value or using a pricing source quote that approximates amortized cost.

Securities for which market quotations are not readily available (including investments which are subject to limitations as to their sale) are to be valued at fair value. As a general rule, whether or not the Registrant is required to “fair value price” an asset is dependent on the ready availability of current market quotes or, even if readily available, the reliability of such quotes. Any assets for which market quotations are not readily available or for which available prices are not reliable, shall be determined in a manner that most fairly reflects the asset’s (or group of assets) “fair value” (i.e., the amount that the Registrant might reasonably expect to receive for the asset upon its current sale) on the valuation date, based on a consideration of all available information.

The Procedures provide that in certain instances, including without limitation, if there is a “stale price” for a portfolio security, in an emergency situation, or if a significant event occurs after the close of trading of a portfolio security, but before the calculation of the Registrant’s net asset value, the security may be valued at its fair value.

In 2009, the Registrant commenced complying with Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“FAS 157”), effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. FAS 157 establishes a single authoritative definition of fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. In accordance with FAS 157, fair value is defined as the price that the Registrant would receive upon selling an investment in a timely transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market of the investment. FAS 157 establishes a three-tier hierarchy to classify fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. The three broad levels of the heirarchy are 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 Registrant’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 those securities. The following is a summary of the inputs used to value each of the Registrant’s investments as of January 31, 2009.

* Other financial instruments are futures contracts, forward foreign currency exchange contracts and interest rate swaps.

Interest Rate and Currency Swaps

The Registrant may engage in certain swap transactions in order to obtain a desired return at a lower cost than if the Registrant had invested directly in the asset that yielded the desired return or to hedge the leverage facility.

An interest rate swap is an agreement between two parties which involves the exchange of floating and fixed rate payments (an interest rate and currency swap involves the exchange of interest rate payments in another currency) for a specified period of time. Interest rate and currency swaps involve the accrual and exchange of payments between the parties. These payments are recorded as realized gain/(loss).

During the term of the swap, changes in the value of the swap are recognized as unrealized appreciation or depreciation by “marking-to-market” to reflect the fair market value of the swap. When the swap is terminated, the Registrant will record a realized gain/(loss) equal to the difference, if any, between the proceeds from (or cost of) the closing transaction and the Registrant’s basis in the contract. The Registrant is exposed to credit risk in the event of non-performance by the counterparty to the swap. However, the Registrant does not anticipate non-performance by any counterparty.

Notional amounts of swaps are used to express the extent of involvement in these transactions. These risks include changes in the returns of the underlying instruments, failure of the counterparties to perform under the contracts’ terms and the possible lack of liquidity with respect to the contracts.

Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts

A forward foreign currency exchange contract (“Forward Contract”) involves an obligation to purchase and sell a specific currency at a future date, which may be any fixed number of days from the date of the contract agreed upon by the parties, at a price set at the time of the contract. The Forward Contract is marked-to-market daily and the change in market value is recorded by the Registrant as unrealized appreciation or depreciation. When the Forward Contract is closed, the Registrant records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. Risks arise from unanticipated movements in the value of the foreign currency relative to the functional currencies and from potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts. The Registrant is subject to off balance sheet risk to the extent of the value of the contracts for purchases of foreign currency and in an unlimited amount for sales of foreign currency.

Futures Contracts

A futures contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell a security for a set price on a future date. Upon entering into a contract, the Registrant deposits and maintains as collateral such initial margin as required by the exchange on which the transaction is effected. Pursuant to the contract, the Registrant agrees to receive from or pay to the broker an amount of cash equal to the daily fluctuation in the value of the contract. Such receipts or payments are known as variation margin and are recorded by the Registrant as unrealized appreciation or depreciation. When the contract is closed, the Registrant records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. Use of long futures contracts subjects the Registrant to the risk of loss in excess of the notional value of the futures contracts. Use of short futures subjects the Registrant to unlimited risk of loss.

Repurchase Agreements

In connection with transactions in repurchase agreements with U.S. financial institutions, it is the Registrant’s policy that its custodian/counterparty segregates the underlying collateral securities, the value of which exceeds the principal amount of the repurchase transaction, including accrued interest.

To the extent that any repurchase transaction exceeds one business day, the collateral is valued on a daily basis to determine its adequacy. If the seller defaults and the value of the collateral declines or if bankruptcy proceedings are commenced with respect to the seller of the security, realization of the collateral by the Registrant may be delayed or limited.

Foreign Currency Translation

Foreign currency amounts are translated into United States dollars on the following basis:

 

(i) market value of investment securities, other assets and liabilities – at the exchange rates at the end of the reporting period;

 

(ii) purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses – at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions.

The Registrant isolates that portion of the results of operations arising from changes in the foreign exchange rates due to fluctuations in the market prices of the securities held at the end of the reporting period. Similarly, the Registrant isolates the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates from the fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of portfolio securities sold during the reporting period.

Net realized foreign exchange gains/(losses) include realized foreign exchange gains/(losses) from sales and maturities of portfolio securities, sales of foreign currencies, currency gains/(losses) realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, the difference between the amounts of interest, discount and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Registrant’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange appreciation/(depreciation) include changes in the value of portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities arising as a result of changes in the exchange rate.

Accumulated net realized and unrealized foreign exchange gains/(losses) shown in the composition of net assets represent foreign exchange gains/(losses) for book purposes that may not have been recognized for tax purposes.

Foreign security and currency transactions may involve certain considerations and risks not typically associated with those of domestic origin, including unanticipated movements in the value of the foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar.

Securities Transactions and Investment Income

Securities transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized and unrealized gains/(losses) from security and currency transactions are calculated on the identified cost basis. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Discounts and premiums on securities purchased are accreted or amortized on an effective yield basis over the estimated lives of the respective securities. Expenses are recorded on a daily basis.

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Registrant is authorized to use derivatives to manage both currency and interest rate risk for global debt securities. Losses may arise due to changes in the value of the contract if the counterparty does not perform under the contract. The use of derivative instruments involves, to varying degrees, elements of market risk.
