The COMPANY, in consideration of payment of the required
premium, and in reliance on the APPLICATION and all other
statements made and information furnished to the COMPANY by the
ASSURED, and subject to the DECLARATIONS made a part of this
Bond and to all other terms and conditions of this Bond, agrees
to pay the ASSURED for:
Insuring Clauses
Employee
1. Loss resulting directly from Larceny or Embezzlement
committed by any Employee, alone or in collusion with others.
On Premises
2. Loss of Property resulting directly from robbery,
burglary, false pretenses, common law or statutory larceny,
misplacement, mysterious unexplainable disappearance, damage,
destruction or removal, from the possession, custody or control
of the ASSURED, while such Property is lodged or deposited at
premises located anywhere.
In Transit
3. Loss of Property resulting directly from common law or
statutory larceny, misplacement, mysterious unexplainable
disappearance, damage or destruction, while the Property is in
transit anywhere:
a. in an armored motor vehicle, including loading and
unloading thereof,
b. in the custody of a natural person acting as a
messenger of the ASSURED, or
c. in the custody of a Transportation Company and being
transported in a conveyance other than an armored motor vehicle
provided, however, that covered Property transported in such
manner is limited to the following:
(1) written records,
(2) securities issued in registered form, which are not
endorsed or are restrictively endorsed, or
(3) negotiable instruments not payable to bearer, which are
not endorsed or are restrictively endorsed.
Coverage under this INSURING CLAUSE begins immediately
on the receipt of such Property by the natural person or
Transportation Company and ends immediately on delivery to the
premises of the addressee or to any representative of the
addressee located anywhere.
Forgery Or Alteration
4. Loss resulting directly from:
a. Forgery on, or fraudulent material alteration of, any
bills of exchange, checks, drafts, acceptances, certificates of
deposits, promissory notes, due bills, money orders, orders upon

orders or directions to pay sums certain in money, or receipts
for the withdrawal of Property, or
b. transferring, paying or delivering any funds or other
Property, or establishing any credit or giving any value in
reliance on any written instructions, advices or applications
directed to the ASSURED authorizing or acknowledging the
transfer, payment, delivery or receipt of funds or other
Property, which instructions, advices or applications
fraudulently purport to bear the handwritten signature of any
customer of the ASSURED, or shareholder or subscriber to shares
of an Investment Company, or of any financial institution or
Employee but which instructions, advices or applications either
bear a Forgery or have been fraudulently materially altered
without the knowledge and consent of such customer, shareholder,
subscriber, financial institution or Employee;
excluding, however, under this INSURING CLAUSE any loss covered
under INSURING CLAUSE 5. of this Bond, whether or not coverage
for INSURING CLAUSE 5. is provided for in the DECLARATIONS of
this Bond.
For the purpose of this INSURING CLAUSE, a mechanically
reproduced facsimile signature is treated the same as a
handwritten signature.
Extended Forgery
5. Loss resulting directly from the ASSURED having, in
good faith, and in the ordinary course of business, for its own
account or the account of others in any capacity:
a. acquired, accepted or received, accepted or received,

(3) be Counterfeit, or
b. guaranteed in writing or witnessed any signatures on
any transfer, assignment, bill of sale, power of attorney,

an acknowledgment by the ASSURED that it no longer relies on
such collateral.
For the purpose of this INSURING CLAUSE, a mechanically
reproduced facsimile signature is treated the same as a
handwritten signature.
Counterfeit Money
6. Loss resulting directly from the receipt by the ASSURED
in good faith of any Counterfeit money.
Threats To Person
7. Loss resulting directly from surrender of Property away
from an office of the ASSURED as a result of a threat
communicated to the ASSURED to do bodily harm to an Employee as
defined in Section 1.e. (1), (2) and (5), a Relative or invitee
of such Employee, or a resident of the household of such
Employee, who is, or allegedly is, being held captive provided,
however, that prior to the surrender of such Property:
a. the Employee who receives the threat has made a
reasonable effort to notify an officer of the ASSURED who is not
involved in such threat, and
b. the ASSURED has made a reasonable effort to notify the
Federal Bureau of Investigation and local law enforcement
authorities concerning such threat.
It is agreed that for purposes of this INSURING CLAUSE,

with respect to the surrender of money, securities and other
tangible personal property in which such Employee has a legal or
equitable interest.

8. Loss resulting directly from fraudulent:
a. entries of data into, or
b. changes of data elements or programs within,
a Computer System, provided the fraudulent entry or change
causes:
(1) funds or other property to be transferred, paid or
delivered,
(2) an account of the ASSURED or of its customer to be
added, deleted, debited or credited, or
(3) an unauthorized account or a fictitious account to be
debited or credited.
Voice Initiated Funds Transfer Instruction
9. Loss resulting directly from Voice Initiated Funds
Transfer Instruction directed to the ASSURED authorizing the
transfer of dividends or redemption proceeds of Investment
Company shares from a Customers account, provided such Voice
Initiated Funds Transfer Instruction was:

the ASSURED specifically authorized to receive the Voice
Initiated Funds Transfer Instruction,
b. made by a person purporting to be a Customer, and
c. made by said person for the purpose of causing the

personal financial gain for such person or any other person.
In order for coverage to apply under this INSURING
CLAUSE, all Voice Initiated Funds Transfer Instructions must be
received and processed in accordance with the Designated

Uncollectible Items of Deposit
10. Loss resulting directly from the ASSURED having

the faith of any Items of Deposit which prove to be
uncollectible, provided that the crediting of such account
causes:

b. shares to be issued, or
c. dividends to be paid,
from an account of an Investment Company.
In order for coverage to apply under this INSURING
CLAUSE, the ASSURED must hold Items of Deposit for the minimum
number of days stated in the APPLICATION before permitting any
redemptions or withdrawals, issuing any shares or paying any
dividends with respect to such Items of Deposit.
Items of Deposit shall not be deemed uncollectible until
the ASSUREDS standard collection procedures have failed.
Audit Expense
11. Expense incurred by the ASSURED for that part of the
cost of audits or examinations required by any governmental
regulatory authority or self-regulatory organization to be
conducted by such authority, organization or their appointee by
reason of the discovery of loss sustained by the ASSURED and
covered by this Bond.

any such suit or legal proceeding and at the request of the

incurred in defending all or part of such suit or legal

COMPANYS liability for court costs and attorneys fees incurred
in defending all or part of such suit or legal proceedings is

consent of the COMPANY and prior to the settlement of any claim
for such Property shall be the actual market value at the time
of replacement.
In the case of a loss of interim certificates, warrants,
rights or other securities, the production of which is necessary
to the exercise of subscription, conversion, redemption or
deposit privileges, the value of them shall be the market value
of such privileges immediately preceding their expiration if
said loss is not discovered until after their expiration. If no
market price is quoted for such Property or for such privileges,
the value shall be fixed by agreement between the parties.
OTHER PROPERTY
The value of any loss of Property, other than as stated
above, shall be the actual cash value or the cost of repairing
or replacing such Property with Property of like quality and

the securities;

applicable LIMIT OF LIABILITY - the percentage that the
DEDUCTIBLE AMOUNT and portion in excess of the applicable LIMIT
OF LIABILITY bears to the value of the securities.
The value referred to in Section 10.a., b., and c. is
the value in accordance with Section 9, VALUATION, regardless of
the value of such securities at the time the loss under the
COMPANYS indemnity is sustained.
The COMPANY is not required to issue its indemnity for
any portion of a loss of securities which is not covered by this
Bond; however, the COMPANY may do so as a courtesy to the
ASSURED and at its sole discretion.
The ASSURED shall pay the proportion of the Companys
premium charge for the Companys indemnity as set forth in

shall be used as payment of premium for any indemnity purchased
by the ASSURED to obtain replacement securities.

against any person or entity to the extent of such payment. On
request, the ASSURED shall deliver to the COMPANY an assignment

would otherwise have been paid but for the fact that it is in
excess of the applicable LIMIT OF LIABILITY,

in settlement of the ASSUREDS claim,
c. third, to the ASSURED in satisfaction of the applicable
DEDUCTIBLE AMOUNT, and
d. fourth, to the ASSURED in satisfaction of any loss
suffered by the ASSURED which was not covered under this Bond.
