Fair Value Measurements

 

During the current fiscal period, the Fund adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 (SFAS No. 157) “Fair Value Measurements.”  SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosure about fair value measurements.  In determining the value of the Fund’s investments various inputs are used.  These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

 

Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.

Level 2 - Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).

Level 3 - Significant unobservable inputs (including management’s assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).

 

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

 

The following is a summary of the Fund’s fair value measurements as of March 31, 2009:

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

 

During the current fiscal period, the Fund adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161 (SFAS No. 161) Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.  This standard is intended to enhance financial statement disclosures for derivative instruments and hedging activities and enable investors to better understand: a) how and why a fund uses derivative instruments; b) how derivative instruments are accounted for; and c) how derivative instruments affect a funds financial position, results of operations and cash flows, if any.  The Fund records derivative instruments at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in the Statement of Operations.  Even though the Funds investments in derivatives may represent economic hedges, they are considered to be non-hedge transactions for SFAS No. 161 disclosure purposes.

 

 

The table below presents the fair value of all derivative instruments held by the Fund as of March 31, 2009, the location of these instruments on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, and the primary underlying risk exposure.

Income Tax Information

 

The following information is presented on an income tax basis. Differences between amounts for financial statement and federal income tax purposes are primarily due to the treatment of paydown gains and losses, recognition of premium amortization, timing differences in the recognition of income on REIT investments and timing differences in recognizing certain gains and losses on investment transactions. To the extent that differences arise that are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities presented in the annual report, based on their federal tax basis treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification. Temporary and permanent differences do not impact the net asset value of the Fund.

 

At March 31, 2009, the cost of investments (excluding proceeds received on securities sold short and call options written) was $1,217,549,515.

 

Gross unrealized appreciation and gross unrealized depreciation of investments (excluding proceeds received on securities sold short and call options written) at March 31, 2009, were as follows:

(1)

All percentages shown in the Portfolio of Investments are based on net assets applicable to Common shares unless otherwise noted.

 

(2)

Non-income producing; issuer has not declared a dividend within the past twelve months.

 

(3)

Investment, or portion of investment, has been pledged to collateralize the net payment obligations under call options written.

 

(4)

Ratings: Using the higher of Standard & Poor’s Group (“Standard & Poor’s”) or Moody’s Investor Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”) rating. Ratings below BBB by Standard & Poor’s or Baa by Moody’s are considered to be below investment grade.

 

(5)

Senior Loans generally are subject to mandatory and/or optional prepayment. Because of these mandatory prepayment conditions and because there may be significant economic incentives for a Borrower to prepay, prepayments of Senior Loans may occur. As a result, the actual remaining maturity of Senior Loans held may be substantially less than the stated maturities shown.

 

(6)

Senior Loans generally pay interest at rates which are periodically adjusted by reference to a base short-term, floating lending rate plus an assigned fixed rate. These floating lending rates are generally (i) the lending rate referenced by the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), or (ii) the prime rate offered by one or more major United States banks.

Senior Loans may be considered restricted in that the Fund ordinarily is contractually obligated to receive approval from the Agent Bank and/or Borrower prior to the disposition of a Senior Loan.

 

(7)

Non-income producing; denotes that the issuer has defaulted on the payment of principal or interest or has filed for bankruptcy.

 

(8)

This issue is under the protection of the Federal Bankruptcy Court.

 

(9)

This issue is under protection of the Federal Bankruptcy Court. As a result, the Adviser has concluded this issue is not likely to meet its interest payment obligations and has directed the Fund’s custodian to cease accruing additional income and “write-off” any remaining recorded balances on the Fund’s records.

 

(10)

Investment valued at fair value using methods determined in good faith by, or at the discretion of, the Board of Trustees.

 

(11)

Principal Amount (000) rounds to less than $1,000.

 

(12)

For disclosure purposes, Notional Amount is calculated by multiplying the Number of Contracts by the Strike Price by 100.

 

(13)

Borrowings and FundPreferred Shares, at Liquidation Value as a percentage of Total Investments are 14.4% and 17.0%, respectively.

 

(14)

The Fund may pledge up to 100% of its eligible investments in the Portfolio of Investments as collateral for Borrowings. As of March 31, 2009, investments with a value of $357,012,939 have been pledged as collateral for Borrowings.

 

(15)

Position, or portion of position, represents an unfunded Senior Loan Commitment outstanding at March 31, 2009. At March 31, 2009, the Fund had unfunded Senior Loan Commitments of $251,473.

CORTS

Corporate Backed Trust Securities.

 

PPLUS

PreferredPlus Trust.

 

TBD

Senior Loan purchased on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis. Certain details associated with this purchase are not known prior to the settlement date of the transaction. In addition, Senior Loans typically trade without accrued interest and therefore a weighted average coupon rate is not available prior to settlement. At settlement, if still unknown, the Borrower or counterparty will provide the Fund with the final weighted average coupon rate and maturity date.

a.                 The registrant’s principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, have concluded that the registrant’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 30a-3(c) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) (17 CFR 270.30a-3(c))) are effective, as of a date within 90 days of the filing date of this report that includes the disclosure required by this paragraph, based on their evaluation of the controls and procedures required by Rule 30a-3(b) under the 1940 Act (17 CFR 270.30a-3(b)) and Rule 13a-15(b) or 15d-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (17 CFR 240.13a-15(b) or 240.15d-15(b)).

b.                There were no changes in the registrant’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 30a-3(d) under the 1940 Act (17 CFR 270.30a-3(d)) that occurred during the registrant’s last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the registrant’s internal control over financial reporting.
