The Fund may invest in “zero coupon” securities. A zero coupon security does not pay a regular interest | ||
coupon to its holders during the life of the security. Tax-exempt income to the holder of the security | ||
comes from accretion of the difference between the original purchase price of the security at issuance | ||
and the par value of the security at maturity and is effectively paid at maturity. Such securities are | ||
included in the Portfolio of Investments with a 0.000% coupon rate in their description. The market | ||
prices of zero coupon securities generally are more volatile than the market prices of securities that | ||
pay interest periodically. | ||
(1) | All percentages shown in the Portfolio of Investments are based on net assets unless otherwise noted. | |
(2) | Optional Call Provisions: Dates (month and year) and prices of the earliest optional call or redemption. | |
There may be other call provisions at varying prices at later dates. Certain mortgage-backed securities | ||
may be subject to periodic principal paydowns. | ||
(3) | 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. | ||
The AAA ratings shown in the Portfolio of Investments reflect the AAA ratings on certain bonds | ||
insured by AMBAC, FGIC, XCLA or MBIA and/or the A ratings on certain bonds insured by ACA as of | ||
December 31, 2007. During December 2007, at least one rating agency reduced the rating for ACA | ||
bonds to CCC. Subsequent to December 31, 2007, at least one rating agency reduced the rating for | ||
AMBAC-insured bonds to AA, the rating for XCLA-insured bonds to A and the rating for FGIC-insured | ||
bonds to A3. One or more rating agencies have placed each of these insurers on “negative credit | ||
watch”, which may presage one or more rating reductions for such insurer or insurers in the future. | ||
If one or more insurers’ ratings are reduced below AAA (or A in the case of ACA) by these rating | ||
agencies, it would likely reduce the effective rating of many of the bonds insured by that insurer | ||
or insurers. | ||
(4) | Backed by an escrow or trust containing sufficient U.S. Government or U.S. Government agency | |
securities which ensure the timely payment of principal and interest. Such investments are normally | ||
considered to be equivalent to AAA rated securities. | ||
N/R | Not rated. | |
(ETM) | Escrowed to maturity. |
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, timing differences in recognizing taxable market discount 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 December 31, 2007, the cost of investments was $121,100,813.
Gross unrealized appreciation and gross unrealized depreciation of investments at December 31, 2007, were as follows:
|
||
Gross unrealized: | ||
Appreciation | $3,577,589 | |
Depreciation | (486,044) | |
|
||
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments | $3,091,545 | |
