For each total return swap noted, the Fund pays a floating rate and receives the
total return of the underlying asset.

For each credit default swap noted, the Fund pays a fixed rate.

The market value of the swaps outstanding reflects the current receivable and
payable for the floating rate and fixed rate, which may have different payment
dates.



In September, 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, "Fair Valuation Measurements" ("FAS
157"). This standard clarifies the definition of fair value for financial
reporting, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and requires
additional disclosures about the use of fair value measurements. FAS 157
establishes three different categories for valuations. Level 1 valuations are
those based upon quoted prices in active markets. Level 2 valuations are those
based upon quoted prices in inactive markets or based upon significant
observable inputs (e.g. yield curves; benchmark interest rates; indices). Level
3 valuations are those based upon unobservable inputs (e.g. discounted cash flow
analysis; non-market based methods used to determine fair valuation).
