GAAP requires disclosure of fair valuation measurements as of each measurement date. In compliance
 
with GAAP, the Fund follows a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between market data obtained from
 
independent sources (observable inputs) and the Fund's own market assumptions (unobservable inputs).
 
These inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund's investments and summarized in the following
 
fair value hierarchy:
                               
                                   
Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
       
                                   
Level 2 - quoted prices in inactive markets or other significant observable inputs (e.g. quoted prices for
 
similar securities; interest rates; prepayment speed; credit risk; yield curves)
 
                                   
Level 3 - significant unobservable inputs (e.g. discounted cash flow analysis; non-market based methods used
 
to determine fair value)
                               
                                   
Observable inputs are those based upon market data obtained from independent sources, and unobservable
 
inputs reflect the fund's own assumptions based on the best information available. A financial
 
instrument's level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input both individually and
 
in aggregate that is significant to the fair value measurement. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities
 
are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities
 
                                   
The Fund has adopted the Accounting Standard Update, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures
 
(Topic 820): Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements which provides guidance on
 
how investment assets and liabilities are to be valued and disclosed. Specifically, the amendment
 
requires reporting entities to disclose i) the input and valuation techniques used to measure fair value
 
for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements, for Level 2 or Level 3 positions, ii)
 
transfers between all levels (including Level 1 and Level 2) are required to be disclosed on a gross
 
basis (i.e. transfers out must be disclosed separately from transfers in) as well as the reason(s) for the
 
transfer, and iii) purchases, sales, issuances and settlements must be shown on a gross basis in the
 
Level 3 rollforward rather than as one net number. The effective date of the amendment is for interim
 
and annual periods beginning after December 15,2009, however, the requirement to provide the Level 3
 
activity for purchases, sales, issuances and settlements on a gross basis will be effective for interim
 
and annual periods beginning after December 15,2010. The Fund has adopted the disclosures
 
required by this amendment, which did not have a material impact on the financial statements.
 
                                   
The Fund values Level 1 securities using readily available market quotations in active markets. The
 
Fund values Level 2 fixed income securities using independent pricing providers who employ matrix
 
pricing models utilizing market prices, broker quotes and prices of securities with comparable
 
maturities and qualities. The Fund values Level 2 equity securities using various observable market
 
inputs in accordance with procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. The Fund did not have any
 
Level 3 securities at July 31, 2011.
