Ratings shown are per Standard & Poor's, Moody's or Fitch. Securities classified as NR are not rated. (For securities not rated by Standard & Poor's Rating Group, the rating by Moody's Investor Services, Inc. is provided. Likewise, for securities not rated by Standard & Poor's Rating Group and Moody's Investor Services, Inc., the rating by Fitch Ratings is provided.) All ratings are unaudited. The ratings apply to the credit worthiness of the issuers of the underlying securities and not to the Fund or its shares.
|
**
|
Date and price of the earliest optional call or put provision. There may be other call provisions at varying prices at later dates.
|
|
All percentages shown in the Portfolio of Investments are based on Net Assets Applicable to Common Shareholders, unless otherwise noted.
|
(a)
|
Securities are exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933. These securities may be resold in transactions exempt from registration, normally to qualified institutional buyers. At July 31, 2011 these securities amounted to $116,925,183, which represents 25.6% of net assets applicable to common shares.
|
(b)
|
Security becomes an accreting bond after December 15, 2016 with a 2.0% principal accretion rate.
|
(c)
|
Perpetual maturity.
|
(d)
|
Floating or variable rate coupon. The rate shown is as of July 31, 2011.
|
(e)
|
Zero coupon bond.
|
(f)
|
Security is a "step coupon" bond where the coupon increases or decreases at a predetermined date. The rate shown reflects the rate in effect at the end of the reporting period.
|
(g)
|
Term loans held by the Fund have a variable interest rate feature which is periodically adjusted based on an underlying interest rate benchmark. In addition, term loans may include mandatory and/or optional prepayment terms. As a result, the actual maturity dates of the loan may be different than the amounts disclosed in the portfoliosof investments. Term loans may be considered restricted in that the Fund may be contractually obligated to secure approval from the Agent Bank and/or Borrower prior to the sale or disposition of loan.

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.
