Security Valuation - The net asset value of the Fund is determined daily as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. (the “Exchange”) on each day the Exchange is open for business.  The Fund’s equity investments are valued at market value, which is generally determined using the closing price on the exchange or market on which the security is primarily traded at the time of valuation (the “Valuation Time”).  If no sales are reported, equity investments are generally valued at the most recent bid quotation as of the Valuation Time or at the lowest ask quotation in the case of a short sale of securities. Debt securities with a remaining maturity greater than 60 days are valued in accordance with the price supplied by a pricing service, which may use a matrix, formula or other objective method that takes into consideration market indices, yield curves and other specific adjustments.  Debt obligations that will mature in 60 days or less are valued on the basis of amortized cost, which approximates market value, unless it is determined that this method would not represent fair value.  Securities and other assets for which market quotations are not readily available, or whose values have been materially affected by events occurring before the Fund’s Valuation Time, but after the close of the securities’ primary market, are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by, or under the direction of, the Board of Directors under procedures established by the Board of Directors.  The Fund may utilize a service provided by an independent third party which has been approved by the Board of Directors to fair value certain securities.  At July 31, 2005, the Fund held 18.53% of its net assets in securities valued at fair value as determined in good faith under procedures established by the Board of Directors with an aggregate cost of $25,908,673 and fair value of $19,448,861.  The Fund’s estimate of fair value assumes a willing buyer and a willing seller neither acting under the compulsion to buy or sell.  Although these securities may be resold in privately negotiated transactions, the prices realized on such sales could differ from the prices originally paid by the Fund or the current carrying values, and the difference could be material.

 



 

Restricted Securities - Certain of the Fund’s investments are restricted as to resale and are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by, or under the direction of, the Fund’s Board of Directors under procedures established by the Board of Directors in the absence of a readily ascertainable market values.
