ITEM 7.01 REGULATION FD DISCLOSURE.
------------------------
An independent valuation consultant has been retained to assist in
determining the fair value of certain portfolio securities of RMK Multi-Sector
High Income Fund, Inc. (the "Fund"). Recent instability in the markets for fixed
income securities, particularly mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities, has
made it more difficult to obtain realistic values for some of the Fund's
portfolio securities. In the absence of reliable market quotations, portfolio
securities are valued by the Fund's investment adviser at their "fair value"
under procedures established and monitored by the Fund's Board of Directors. The
"fair value" of securities may be difficult to determine and thus judgment plays
a greater role in this valuation process. Fair valuation procedures have been
used to value a substantial portion of the assets of the Fund with input from
the valuation consultant and these valuations are reflected in the daily net
asset value of the Fund's shares.
This information is furnished pursuant to Item 7.01 of Form 8-K and shall
not be deemed to be "filed" for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that Section,
unless we specifically incorporate it by reference in a document filed under the
Securities Act of 1933 or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. By filing this
report on Form 8-K and furnishing this information, the Fund makes no admission
as to the materiality of any information in this report that is required to be
disclosed solely by reason of Regulation FD.
