Fair Value Measurements - Various inputs are used in determining the fair
value of investments, which are as follows:
Level 1 price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical
assets and liabilities
Level 2 other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted
prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted
prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not
active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the
assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities,
prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or
other market-corroborated inputs)
Level 3 unobservable inputs based on the best information available
in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available
(including the Trust's own assumptions used in determining the fair
value of investments)
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily
an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. For
information about the Trust's policy regarding valuation of investments and
other significant accounting policies, please refer to the Trusts most recent
financial statements as contained in its annual report.
