The Trust 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 February 29, 2008, 47.9% 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 0.5% to 18.9% of total investments.

The Trust adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 (FAS 157), “Fair Value Measurements”, effective December 1, 2007. 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) |
At February 29, 2008, the inputs used in valuing the Trust’s investments, which are carried at value, were as follows:

*Other financial instruments are derivative instruments not reflected in the Portfolio of Investments, such as futures, forwards and swap contracts, which are valued at the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on the instrument.
The Trust held no investments or other financial instruments as of November 30, 2007 whose fair value was determined using Level 3 inputs.
The Trust generally uses a pricing vendor to provide evaluations for its investments in municipal bonds, which are derived from the vendor’s pricing models. Inputs to the models may include, but are not limited to, reported trades, executable bid and asked prices, broker/dealer quotations, benchmark curves or information pertaining to the issuer. The pricing vendor may use a matrix approach, which considers information regarding securities with similar characteristics to determine the evaluation for a security. The Trust’s investments in interest rate swaps are normally valued using valuations provided by a pricing vendor. Such vendor valuations are based on the present value of fixed and projected floating rate cash flows over the term of a swap contract. Future cash flows are discounted to their present value using swap curves provided by electronic data services or by broker/dealers. The Trust’s investments in futures contracts are valued based on the closing price on the primary exchange on which such contracts trade.
