Dear Shareholder

Time and again, we have seen how various global events and developing trends can have significant influence on financial markets. I hope you find that the following review of recent market conditions provides additional perspective on the performance of your investments as you read this shareholder report.

Over the past 12 months, we have seen a sluggish, stimulus-driven economic recovery at long last gain real traction, accelerate, and transition into a consumption-driven expansion. For the most part, 2010 was plagued with widely fluctuating economic data, but as the year drew to a close, it became clear that cyclical stimulus had beaten out structural problems as economic data releases generally became more positive and financial markets showed signs of continuing improvement. Although the sovereign debt crisis in Europe and high inflation in developing markets that troubled the global economy in 2010 remain challenges today, overall investor confidence has improved considerably. During the first four months of 2011, that confidence was shaken by political turmoil in the Middle East/North Africa region, soaring prices of oil and other commodities, tremendous natural disasters in Japan and a change in the ratings outlook for US debt. However, strong corporate earnings prevailed and financial markets resumed their course while the global economy continued to garner strength.

Equity markets experienced uneven growth and high volatility in 2010, but ended the year with gains. Following a strong start to 2011, the series of confidence-shaking events brought spurts of heightened volatility to markets worldwide, but was not enough to derail the bull market. Overall, global equities posted strong returns over the past 12 months. Emerging market equities, which had outperformed developed markets earlier in the period, fell prey to heightened inflationary pressures and underperformed developed markets later in the period. In the United States, strong corporate earnings and positive signals from the labor market were sources of encouragement for equity investors, although the housing market did not budge from its slump. Early in 2011, the US Federal Reserve announced that it would continue its Treasury purchase program (“QE2”) through to completion and keep interest rates low for an extended period. This compelled investors to continue buying riskier assets, furthering the trend of small cap stocks outperforming large caps.

While fixed income markets saw yields trend lower (pushing bond prices higher) through most of 2010, the abrupt reversal in investor sentiment and risk tolerance in the fourth quarter drove yields sharply upward. Global credit markets were surprisingly resilient in the face of recent headwinds and yields regained relative stability as the period came to a close. Yield curves globally remained steep by historical standards and higher-risk sectors continued to outperform higher-quality assets. The tax-exempt municipal market enjoyed a powerful rally during the period of low yields in 2010, but when that trend reversed, the market was dealt an additional blow as it became evident that the Build America Bond program would not be extended. Meanwhile, municipal finance troubles raised credit concerns among investors and tax-exempt mutual funds experienced heavy outflows, resulting in wider spreads and falling prices. The new year brought relief from these headwinds and a rebound in the tax-exempt municipal market.

Cash investments, as represented by the 3-month Treasury bill, returned only a fraction over 0% for the 12-month period as short-term interest rates remained low. Yields on money market securities remain near all-time lows.

Municipal Market Overview


 


For the Period Ended April 30, 2011


Twelve months ago, the municipal yield curve was much flatter than it is today, as investor concerns were focused on the possibility of deflation and a double-dip in the US economy. From April through September 2010, rates moved lower (and prices higher) across the curve, reaching historic lows in August when the yield on 5-year issues touched 1.06%, the 10-year reached 2.18%, and the 30-year was 3.67%. The market took a turn in October, with yields drifting higher (and prices lower) amid a “perfect storm” of events that ultimately resulted in the worst quarterly performance the municipal market had seen since the Fed tightening cycle of 1994. Treasury yields lost their support as concerns over the US deficit raised the question whether foreign investors would continue to purchase Treasury securities at historically low yields. Municipal valuations also suffered a quick and severe setback as it became evident that the Build America Bond (“BAB”) program would expire at the end of 2010. The program opened the taxable market to municipal issuers, which had successfully alleviated supply pressure in the traditional tax-exempt marketplace, bringing down yields in that space.

(LINE GRAPH)

The financial media has been replete with interviews, articles and presentations depicting the stress experienced in municipal finance. This has resulted in a loss of confidence among retail investors, the traditional buyers of individual municipal bonds and mutual funds. From the middle of November through year-end, mutual funds specializing in tax-exempt bonds witnessed weekly outflows averaging over $2.5 billion. Long-term and high-yield funds saw the greatest redemptions, followed by state-specific funds at a slower, yet still significant, pace. Political uncertainty surrounding the midterm elections and the approach taken by the new Congress on issues such as income tax rates, alternative minimum tax and the previously mentioned BAB expiration exacerbated the situation. All these conditions, combined with the seasonal illiquidity surrounding year-end holidays and dealers closing their fiscal books, sapped willing market participation from the trading community. December brought declining demand for municipal securities with no comparable reduction in supply. As it became evident that the BAB program would be retired, issuers rushed deals to market in the taxable and, to a lesser degree, traditional tax-exempt space. This imbalance in the supply/demand technicals provided the classic market reaction: wider quality spreads and higher bond yields.

Demand usually is strong at the beginning of a new year, but retail investors continued to move away from municipal mutual funds, with AMG Data Services showing $19.9 billion of redemptions in the first four months of 2011. Since mid-November, outflows persisted for 24 consecutive weeks, totaling $33.4 billion. Fortunately, lower supply in 2011 is offsetting the decline in demand. According to Thomson Reuters, through April, year-to-date new issuance was down 53% compared to the same period last year. Issuers have been reluctant to bring new deals to the market due to a number of factors, including higher interest rates, fiscal policy changes and a reduced need for municipal borrowing given the acceleration of some issuance into 2010 prior to the BAB program’s expiration. Accordingly, estimates for 2011 issuance have ratcheted down more than $100 billion since the beginning of the year, when the initial consensus was $350 billion.

Overall, the municipal yield curve steepened during the period from April 30, 2010 to April 30, 2011.As measured by Thomson Municipal Market Data, 30-year yields on AAA-rated municipals rose 53 basis points (“bps”) to 4.58%, while yields for 5-year maturities rallied by 22 bps to 1.50%, and 10-year maturities rallied by 9 bps to 2.85%.With the exception of the 2- to 5-year range, the spread between maturities increased over the past year, with the greatest increase seen in the 5- to 30-year range, where the spread widened by 75 bps, while overall the slope between 2- and 30-year maturities increased by 66 bps to 402 bps.

The fundamental picture for municipalities will be subject to scrutiny for months to come, as the challenges to state and local budgets are real and need to be addressed with significant cuts to expenses and tax revenue increases. The debates around austerity measures needed to succeed in balancing these budgets are not over whether action needs to be taken, but over the magnitude, approach and political will to accomplish these needs. The heightened attention on municipal finance has the potential to improve this market for the future, especially if these efforts result in greater means toward disclosure and accuracy (and timeliness) of reporting. Progress toward these fundamental changes may be tested in the near future, as California, Illinois and Puerto Rico will soon need to take austerity measures and access financing in the municipal market to address immediate-term fiscal imbalances before their new fiscal year begins in July. As the economy improves, tax receipts for states are rising and have begun to exceed budget projections. BlackRock maintains a constructive view of the municipal market as we look beyond the interim challenges faced by states working to close their June 30 year-end shortfalls.

Fund Summary as of April 30, 2011

BlackRock MuniAssets Fund, Inc.


 


Fund Overview


BlackRock MuniAssets Fund, Inc.’s (MUA) (the “Fund”) investment objective is to provide high current income exempt from federal income taxes by investing primarily in a portfolio of medium- to lower-grade or unrated municipal obligations, the interest on which, in the opinion of bond counsel, is exempt from federal income taxes. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing, under normal market conditions, at least 80% of its assets in municipal bonds exempt from federal income taxes (except that the interest may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax). The Fund invests at least 65% of its assets in municipal bonds that are rated in the medium to lower categories by nationally recognized rating services (for example, Baa or lower by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. or BBB or lower by Standard & Poor’s Corporation) or non-rated securities which are of comparable quality. The Fund may invest directly in such securities or synthetically through the use of derivatives.

          No assurance can be given that the Fund’s investment objective will be achieved.

 


Performance


For the 12 months ended April 30, 2011, the Fund returned (5.17)% based on market price and 2.31% based on net asset value (“NAV”). For the same period, the closed-end Lipper High Yield Municipal Debt Funds category posted an average return of (1.08)% based on market price and 1.40% based on NAV. All returns reflect reinvestment of dividends. The Fund moved from a premium to NAV to a discount by period end, which accounts for the difference between performance based on price and performance based on NAV. The following discussion relates to performance based on NAV. The Fund’s concentrated holdings in corporate-related industrial development bonds and low exposure to the underperforming tobacco sector contributed positively to performance. Additional benefits were derived from seasoned portfolio holdings with shorter remaining terms to their maturity, which exhibited lower price volatility compared to longer-dated bonds during the period. As interest rates rose and the yield curve steepened in the later part of the period, holdings of longer-dated bonds detracted from performance. In addition, certain investments in development district (special district) bonds hurt returns as scheduled construction fell significantly below expectations due to the continuing slump in real estate values.

Fund Summary as of April 30, 2011

BlackRock MuniEnhanced Fund, Inc.


 


Fund Overview


BlackRock MuniEnhanced Fund, Inc.’s (MEN) (the “Fund”) investment objective is to provide shareholders with as high a level of current income exempt from federal income taxes as is consistent with its investment policies and prudent investment management. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing at least 80% of its assets in municipal bonds exempt from federal income taxes (except that the interest may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax). Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests primarily in long-term municipal bonds that are investment grade quality at the time of investment. The Fund may invest directly in such securities or synthetically through the use of derivatives.

          No assurance can be given that the Fund’s investment objective will be achieved.

 


Performance


Effective November 9, 2010, the Fund’s investment policy was changed by the removal of the insurance investment policy that required at least 80% of its assets to be invested in insured municipal securities. Accordingly, the Fund was moved from the Lipper Insured Municipal Debt Funds (Leveraged) category into the Lipper General Municipal Debt Funds (Leveraged) category. For the 12 months ended April 30, 2011, the Fund returned (1.44)% based on market price and 0.78% based on NAV. For the same period, the closed-end Lipper General Municipal Debt Funds (Leveraged) category posted an average return of (0.60)% based on market price and 0.10% based on NAV, and the closed-end Lipper Insured Municipal Debt Funds (Leveraged) category posted an average return of 0.17% based on market price and 0.85% based on NAV. All returns reflect reinvestment of dividends. The Fund’s discount to NAV, which widened during the period, accounts for the difference between performance based on price and performance based on NAV. The following discussion relates to performance based on NAV. The Fund’s performance was positively impacted by its shorter duration holdings (those with lower sensitivity to interest rate movements) such as advanced refunded bonds and higher coupon bonds pricing to shorter call dates. Shorter duration securities performed well during the period as the shorter end of the yield curve rallied while long-term rates rose. The Fund also benefited from its exposure to the housing and corporate sectors, which performed well during the period. Detracting from performance was the Fund’s exposure to the long end of the yield curve, where interest rates rose sharply. Exposure to lower quality spread sectors also had a negative impact as credit spreads generally widened over the period. The Fund uses interest rate futures contracts to hedge portfolio risk related to movements in interest rates. This strategy had a modestly negative impact on performance during the period.

Fund Summary as of April 30, 2011

BlackRock MuniHoldings Fund, Inc.


 


Fund Overview


BlackRock MuniHoldings Fund, Inc.’s (MHD) (the “Fund”) investment objective is to provide shareholders with current income exempt from federal income taxes. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing at least 80% of its assets in municipal bonds exempt from federal income taxes (except that the interest may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax). The Fund invests, under normal market conditions, at least 75% of its assets in municipal bonds rated investment grade and invests primarily in long-term municipal bonds with a maturity of more than ten years at the time of investment. The Fund may invest directly in such securities or synthetically through the use of derivatives.

          No assurance can be given that the Fund’s investment objective will be achieved.

 


Performance


For the 12 months ended April 30, 2011, the Fund returned (0.21)% based on market price and 0.57% based on NAV. For the same period, the closed-end Lipper General Municipal Debt Funds (Leveraged) category posted an average return of (0.60)% based on market price and 0.10% based on NAV. All returns reflect reinvestment of dividends. The Fund’s discount to NAV, which widened during the period, accounts for the difference between performance based on price and performance based on NAV. The following discussion relates to performance based on NAV. Security selection and sector allocation among corporates, transportation and education as well as tax-backed issues in the Great Lakes region drove the Fund’s positive performance. Additional benefits were derived from seasoned portfolio holdings with shorter remaining terms to their maturity, which exhibited lower price volatility compared to longer-dated bonds during the period. As interest rates rose and the yield curve steepened in the later part of the period, holdings of longer-dated bonds detracted from performance. In addition, the Fund’s high exposure to the health care sector and low exposure to tax-backed issues in the Far West and Mid-Atlantic regions had a negative impact on performance. The Fund uses interest rate futures contracts to hedge portfolio risk related to movements in interest rates. This strategy had a modestly negative impact on performance during the period.

Fund Summary as of April 30, 2011

BlackRock MuniHoldings Fund II, Inc.


 


Fund Overview


BlackRock MuniHoldings Fund II, Inc.’s (MUH) (the “Fund”) investment objective is to provide shareholders with current income exempt from federal income taxes. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing, under normal market conditions, at least 80% of its assets in municipal bonds exempt from federal income taxes (except that the interest may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax). The Fund invests, under normal market conditions, at least 75% of its assets in municipal bonds rated investment grade and invests primarily in long-term municipal bonds with a maturity of more than ten years at the time of investment. The Fund may invest directly in such securities or synthetically through the use of derivatives.

          No assurance can be given that the Fund’s investment objective will be achieved.

 


Performance


For the 12 months ended April 30, 2011, the Fund returned (2.14)% based on market price and 0.92% based on NAV. For the same period, the closed-end Lipper General Municipal Debt Funds (Leveraged) category posted an average return of (0.60)% based on market price and 0.10% based on NAV. All returns reflect reinvestment of dividends. The Fund moved from a premium to NAV to a discount by period end, which accounts for the difference between performance based on price and performance based on NAV. The following discussion relates to performance based on NAV. Security selection and sector allocation among corporates, transportation and housing as well as tax-backed issues in the Great Lakes region drove the Fund’s positive performance. Additional benefits were derived from seasoned portfolio holdings with shorter remaining terms to their maturity, which exhibited lower price volatility compared to longer-dated bonds during the period. As interest rates rose and the yield curve steepened in the later part of the period, holdings of longer-dated bonds detracted from performance. In addition, the Fund’s high exposure to the health care sector and low exposure to tax-backed issues in the Far West and Mid-Atlantic regions had a negative impact on performance. The Fund uses interest rate futures contracts to hedge portfolio risk related to movements in interest rates. This strategy had a modestly negative impact on performance during the period.

Fund Summary as of April 30, 2011

BlackRock MuniHoldings Quality Fund, Inc.


 


Fund Overview


Effective November 9, 2010, BlackRock MuniHoldings Insured Fund, Inc. changed its name to BlackRock MuniHoldings Quality Fund, Inc.

BlackRock MuniHoldings Quality Fund, Inc.’s (MUS) (the “Fund”) investment objective is to provide shareholders with current income exempt from federal income taxes. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing primarily in municipal obligations exempt from federal income taxes (except that the interest may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax). Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests at least 80% of its assets in investment grade municipal obligations with remaining maturities of one year or more at the time of investment. The Fund may invest directly in such securities or synthetically through the use of derivatives.

          No assurance can be given that the Fund’s investment objective will be achieved.

 


Performance


Effective November 9, 2010, the Fund’s investment policy was changed by the removal of the insurance investment policy that required at least 80% of its assets to be invested in insured municipal securities. Accordingly, the Fund was moved from the Lipper Insured Municipal Debt Funds (Leveraged) category into the Lipper General Municipal Debt Funds (Leveraged) category. For the 12 months ended April 30, 2011, the Fund returned (1.60)% based on market price and 0.21% based on NAV. For the same period, the closed-end Lipper General Municipal Debt Funds (Leveraged) category posted an average return of (0.60)% based on market price and 0.10% based on NAV, and the closed-end Lipper Insured Municipal Debt Funds (Leveraged) category posted an average return of 0.17% based on market price and 0.85% based on NAV. All returns reflect reinvestment of dividends. The Fund moved from a premium to NAV to a discount by period end, which accounts for the difference between performance based on price and performance based on NAV. The following discussion relates to performance based on NAV. The Fund’s holdings of higher quality essential service bonds with high coupon rates (6% or higher) contributed positively to performance as interest rates rose during the period. Higher coupon bonds typically outperform lower coupon bonds in a rising interest rate environment as higher coupon bonds are priced to a shorter call date, while lower coupon bonds are priced to maturity. The Fund maintained a fully invested posture during the period, which enhanced the Fund’s total return by boosting its income accrual. Detracting from performance was the Fund’s exposure to long duration bonds (those with greater sensitivity to interest rate movements) and long-dated bonds as long-term interest rates rose sharply. The surprise non-extension of the Build America Bond (“BAB”) program at the end of 2010 put upward pressure on the long end of the yield curve, where most of the BAB supply was issued. Additionally, the yield curve steepened during the period as a result of the general perception among investors that the economy is improving, along with higher inflation expectations. The Fund uses interest rate futures contracts to hedge portfolio risk related to movements in interest rates. This strategy had a modestly negative impact on performance during the period.

Fund Summary as of April 30, 2011

BlackRock Muni Intermediate Duration Fund, Inc.


 


Fund Overview


BlackRock Muni Intermediate Duration Fund, Inc.’s (MUI) (the “Fund”) investment objective is to provide common shareholders with high current income exempt from federal income taxes taxes. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing at least 80% of its assets in municipal bonds exempt from federal income taxes (except that the interest may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax). Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests at least 75% of its assets in municipal bonds rated investment grade and invests at least 80% of its assets in municipal bonds with a duration of three to ten years at the time of investment. The Fund may invest directly in such securities or synthetically through the use of derivatives.

          No assurance can be given that the Fund’s investment objective will be achieved.

 


Performance


For the 12 months ended April 30, 2011, the Fund returned 2.41% based on market price and 3.86% based on NAV. For the same period, the closed-end Lipper Intermediate Municipal Debt Funds category posted an average return of 3.14% based on market price and 3.98% based on NAV. All returns reflect reinvestment of dividends. The Fund’s discount to NAV, which widened during the period, accounts for the difference between performance based on price and performance based on NAV. The following discussion relates to performance based on NAV. The Fund benefited from its heavy weighting in the tax-backed sector, which was among the strongest performing sectors during the period. A significant exposure to the corporate sector also had a positive impact on performance. The Fund’s strong bias toward higher quality issues proved beneficial, as did its holdings issued by New York, which was one of the better performing states during the period. Detracting from performance was the Fund’s overexposure to hospital bonds, which underperformed the market, and underexposure to the strong-performing housing sector. Traditionally, municipal bonds issued in high-tax states tend to provide a better store of value and liquidity than lower-taxing states when markets are declining. However, under the current economic conditions, higher-taxing states are more severely impacted by heavy deficits and suffer the most credit deterioration. As a result, the Fund’s overexposure to California and New Jersey credits, and the traditionally higher-yielding state of Illinois, negatively impacted returns.

BlackRock MuniVest Fund II, Inc.


 


Fund Overview


BlackRock MuniVest Fund II, Inc.’s (MVT) (the “Fund”) investment objective is to provide shareholders with as high a level of current income exempt from federal income taxes as is consistent with its investment policies and prudent investment management. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing at least 80% of its assets in municipal bonds exempt from federal income taxes (except that the interest may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax). The Fund invests, under normal market conditions, at least 75% of its assets in municipal bonds rated investment grade and invests primarily in long-term municipal bonds with a maturity of more than ten years at the time of investment. The Fund may invest directly in such securities or synthetically through the use of derivatives.

          No assurance can be given that the Fund’s investment objective will be achieved.

 


Performance


For the 12 months ended April 30, 2011, the Fund returned (1.04)% based on market price and 0.73% based on NAV. For the same period, the closed-end Lipper General Municipal Debt Funds (Leveraged) category posted an average return of (0.60)% based on market price and 0.10% based on NAV. All returns reflect reinvestment of dividends. The Fund’s premium to NAV, which narrowed during the period, accounts for the difference between performance based on price and performance based on NAV. Security selection and sector allocation among corporates and transportation as well as tax-backed issues in the Great Lakes region drove the Fund’s positive performance. Additional benefits were derived from seasoned portfolio holdings with shorter remaining terms to their maturity, which exhibited lower price volatility compared to longer-dated bonds during the period.

The Benefits and Risks of Leveraging

The Funds may utilize leverage to seek to enhance the yield and NAV of their common shares (“Common Shares”). However, these objectives cannot be achieved in all interest rate environments.

To leverage, all of the Funds, except MUA, issue AMPS or VRDP Shares (collectively “Preferred Shares”), which pay dividends at prevailing short-term interest rates, and invest the proceeds in long-term municipal bonds. In general, the concept of leveraging is based on the premise that the cost of assets to be obtained from leverage, which will be based on short-term interest rates, will normally be lower than the income earned by each Fund on its longer-term portfolio investments. To the extent that the total assets of each Fund (including the assets obtained from leverage) are invested in higher-yielding portfolio investments, each Fund’s holders of Common Shares (“Common Shareholders”) will benefit from the incremental net income.

To illustrate these concepts, assume a Fund’s Common Shares capitalization is $100 million and it issues Preferred Shares for an additional $50 million, creating a total value of $150 million available for investment in long-term municipal bonds. If prevailing short-term interest rates are 3% and long-term interest rates are 6%, the yield curve has a strongly positive slope. In this case, the Fund pays dividends on the $50 million of Preferred Shares based on the lower short-term interest rates. At the same time, the securities purchased by the Fund with assets received from the Preferred Shares issuance earn the income based on long-term interest rates. In this case, the dividends paid to holders of Preferred Shares are significantly lower than the income earned on the Fund’s long-term investments, and therefore the Common Shareholders are the beneficiaries of the incremental net income.

If short-term interest rates rise, narrowing the differential between short-term and long-term interest rates, the incremental net income pickup on the Common Shares will be reduced or eliminated completely. Furthermore, if prevailing short-term interest rates rise above long-term interest rates of 6%, the yield curve has a negative slope. In this case, the Fund pays dividends on the higher short-term interest rates whereas the Fund’s total portfolio earns income based on lower long-term interest rates.

Furthermore, the value of a Fund’s portfolio investments generally varies inversely with the direction of long-term interest rates, although other factors can influence the value of portfolio investments. In contrast, the redemption value of the Funds’ Preferred Shares does not fluctuate in relation to interest rates. As a result, changes in interest rates can influence the Funds’ NAV positively or negatively in addition to the impact on Fund performance from leverage from Preferred Shares discussed above.

The Funds may also leverage their assets through the use of TOBs, as described in Note 1 of the Notes to Financial Statements. TOB investments generally will provide the Funds with economic benefits in periods of declining short-term interest rates, but expose the Funds to risks during periods of rising short-term interest rates similar to those associated with Preferred Shares issued by the Funds, as described above. Additionally, fluctuations in the market value of municipal bonds deposited into the TOB trust may adversely affect each Fund’s NAV per share.

The use of leverage may enhance opportunities for increased income to the Funds and Common Shareholders, but as described above, it also creates risks as short or long-term interest rates fluctuate. Leverage also will generally cause greater changes in the Funds’ NAVs, market prices and dividend rates than comparable portfolios without leverage. If the income derived from securities purchased with assets received from leverage exceeds the cost of leverage, the Funds’ net income will be greater than if leverage had not been used. Conversely, if the income from the securities purchased is not sufficient to cover the cost of leverage, each Fund’s net income will be less than if leverage had not been used, and therefore the amount available for distribution to Common Shareholders will be reduced. Each Fund may be required to sell portfolio securities at inopportune times or at distressed values in order to comply with regulatory requirements applicable to the use of leverage or as required by the terms of leverage instruments, which may cause a Fund to incur losses. The use of leverage may limit each Fund’s ability to invest in certain types of securities or use certain types of hedging strategies, such as in the case of certain restrictions imposed by ratings agencies that rate Preferred Shares issued by the Funds. Each Fund will incur expenses in connection with the use of leverage, all of which are borne by Common Shareholders and may reduce income to the Common Shares.

Under the Investment Company Act of 1940, the Funds are permitted to issue Preferred Shares in an amount up to 50% of their total managed assets at the time of issuance. Under normal circumstances, each Fund anticipates that the total economic leverage from Preferred Shares and/or TOBs will not exceed 50% (45% for MUI) of its total managed assets at the time such leverage is incurred. As of April 30, 2011, the Funds had economic leverage from Preferred Shares and/or TOBs as a percentage of their total managed assets as follows:

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Funds may invest in various derivative financial instruments, including financial futures contracts, as specified in Note 2 of the Notes to Financial Statements, which may constitute forms of economic leverage. Such instruments are used to obtain exposure to a market without owning or taking physical custody of securities or to hedge market and/or interest rate risks. Such derivative financial instruments involve risks, including the imperfect correlation between the value of a derivative instrument and the underlying asset or illiquidity of the derivative instrument. The Funds’ ability to use a derivative instrument successfully depends on the investment advisor’s ability to predict pertinent market movements accurately, which cannot be assured. The use of derivative financial instruments may result in losses greater than if they had not been used, may require the Funds to sell or purchase portfolio investments at inopportune times or for distressed values, may limit the amount of appreciation a Fund can realize on an investment, may result in lower dividends paid to shareholders or may cause the Funds to hold an investment that they might otherwise sell. The Funds’ investments in these instruments are discussed in detail in the Notes to Financial Statements.

Fair Value Measurements — Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments. These inputs are summarized in three broad level for financial statement purposes 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 Fund’s own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments)

 

 

 

 

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 Fund’s policy regarding valuation of investments and derivative financial instruments and other significant accounting policies, please refer to Note 1 of the Notes to Financial Statements.

The following tables summarize the inputs used as of April 30, 2011 in determining the fair valuation of the Fund’s investments and derivative financial instruments:

Fair Value Measurements — Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels for financial statement purposes 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 Fund’s own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments)

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 Fund’s policy regarding valuation of investments and derivative financial instruments and other significant accounting policies, please refer to Note 1 of the Notes to Financial Statements.

The following tables summarize the inputs used as of April 30, 2011 in determining the fair valuation of the Fund’s investments and derivative financial instruments:
