(1) Statement on Financial Accounting Standard No. 157 "Fair Value Measurements" - Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund's investments. |
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 the Fund's own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) |
|
The following is a summary of the inputs used as of December 31, 2024 in valuing the Fund's assets carried at fair value: |

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. For example, short-term |
debt instruments and repurchase agreements with a maturity of less than 60 days are valued using amortized cost, in accordance with rules under the Investment |
Company Act of 1940. Generally, amortized cost approximates the current fair value of a security, but since the value is not obtained from a quoted price in an active |
market, such securities are reflected as Level 2. |

(2) Represents non-income producing securities. |
(4) Variable rate security; the coupon rate shown represents the yield at December 31, 2024. |
(6) The notional amount is calculated by multiplying outstanding contracts by the exercise price at December 31, 2024. |
