The Fund invests primarily in debt securities issued by California municipalities. The ability of the issuers of the debt securities to meet their obligations may be affected by economic developments in a specific industry or municipality. In order to reduce the risk associated with such economic developments, at June 30, 2009, 89.0% of total investments are backed by bond insurance of various financial institutions and financial guaranty assurance agencies. The aggregate percentage insured by an individual financial institution ranged from 2.1% to 32.1% of total investments.
         
(1)
      Security represents the underlying municipal bond of a tender option bond trust.
         
(2)
      Security (or a portion thereof) has been pledged to cover margin requirements on open financial futures contracts.

The effective date represents the date on which the Fund and the counterparty to the interest rate swap contract begin interest payments accruals.
 
At June 30, 2009, the Fund had sufficient cash and/or securities to cover commitments under these contracts.
 
The Fund is subject to interest rate risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. Because the Fund holds fixed rate bonds, the value of these bonds may decrease if interest rates rise. To hedge against this risk, the Fund may enter into interest rate swap contracts. The Fund may also purchase and sell U.S. Treasury futures contracts to hedge against changes in interest rates.
 
At June 30, 2009, the aggregate fair value of derivative instruments (not accounted for as hedging instruments under Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133) in a liability position and whose primary underlying risk exposure is interest rate risk was $250,774.
 
The cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments of the Fund at June 30, 2009, as determined on a federal income tax basis, were as follows:
 
         
Aggregate cost
  $ 74,510,148  
         
Gross unrealized appreciation
  $ 600,754  
Gross unrealized depreciation
    (9,473,647 )
         
Net unrealized depreciation
  $ (8,872,893 )
         
 
The Fund adopted FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 (FAS 157), “Fair Value Measurements”, effective October 1, 2008. FAS 157 established a three-tier hierarchy to prioritize the assumptions, referred to as inputs, used in valuation techniques to measure fair value. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized in the three broad levels listed below.
 
  •   Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
 
  •   Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
 
  •   Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including a fund’s own assumptions in determining the 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.
