All percentages shown in the Portfolio of Investments are based on net assets applicable to Common shares unless otherwise noted.
 
 (2)  
Ratings: Using the higher of Standard & Poor’s or Moody’s rating. Ratings below BBB by Standard & Poor’s Group or Baa by Moody’s Investor Service, Inc. are considered to be below investment grade.
 
 (3)  
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.
 
 (4)  
Senior Loans in which the Fund invests 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.

ADR  
American Depositary Receipt.
 
Reg S  
Regulation S allows U.S. companies to sell securities to persons or entities located outside of the U.S. without registering those securities with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Specifically, Regulation S provides a safe harbor from the registration requirements of the Securities Act for the offers and sales of securities by both foreign and domestic issuers that are made outside the United States.
 
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 and maturity date.
 
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, recognition of income on REIT investments, and timing differences in recognizing certain gains and losses on investment transactions.
At September 30, 2006, the cost of investments was $465,913,674.
