(a) A synthetic convertible security is either a bond or preferred security structured by an investment bank that provides exposure to a specific company’s common stock.

 

(b) 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, 2007, these securities amounted to 14.9% of net assets.

 

(c) Security is a “step up” bond where the coupon increases or steps up at a predetermined date. The rating shown is as of July 31, 2007.

 

(d) Floating rate security. The rate shown is as of July 31, 2007.

 

(e) Non-income producing security.

 

(f) All or a portion of this security position represents cover (directly or through conversion rights) for outstanding options written.

 

(g) All or a portion of these securities have been physically segregated in connection with swap agreements.

Ratings shown are per Standard & Poor’s and are unaudited. Securities classified as NR are not rated by Standard & Poor’s.

All percentages shown in the Portfolio of Investments are based on Net Assets unless otherwise noted.

The Fund values equity securities at the last reported sale price on the primary exchange or in the primary Over-the-Counter market in which such securities are traded, as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange on the day the securities are being valued or, if there are no sales, at the mean between the last available bid and asked prices on that day. Securities traded on the NASDAQ are valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price. Preferred stocks are valued at their sales price as of the close of the exchange on which they are traded. Preferred stocks for which the last sales price is not available are valued at the last available bid price. Debt securities are valued by independent pricing services or dealers using the last available bid price for such securities or, if such prices are not available, at prices for securities of comparable maturity, quality and type. For those securities where quotations or prices are not available, valuations are determined in accordance with procedures established in good faith by the Board of Trustees. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.
