N.M. Not Meaningful.


A All or a portion of this security is on loan.

 

B Indexed Security—The rates of interest earned on these securities are tied to the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), the Euro Interbank Offered Rate (“EURIBOR”) Index, the Consumer Price Index (“CPI”), the one-year Treasury Bill Rate or the ten-year Japanese Government Bond Rate. The coupon rates are the rates as of September 30, 2007.

 

C Stepped Coupon Security—A security with a predetermined schedule of interest or dividend rate changes at which time it begins to accrue interest or pay dividends according to the predetermined schedule.

 

D Rule 144a Security—A security purchased pursuant to Rule 144a under the Securities Act of 1933 which may not be resold subject to that rule except to qualified institutional buyers. These securities, which the Fund’s investment adviser has determined to be liquid, represent 22.50% of net assets.

 

E Credit Linked Security—The rates of interest earned on these securities are tied to the credit rating assigned by Standard & Poor’s Rating Service and/or Moody’s Investors Services.

 

F The coupon rates shown on variable rate securities are the rates at September 30, 2007. These rates vary with the weighted average coupon of the underlying loans.

 

G Yankee Bond—A dollar-denominated bond issued in the U.S. by foreign entities.

 

H Aggregate cost for federal income tax purposes is substantially the same as book cost. At September 30, 2007, the aggregate gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation of investments for federal income tax purposes were substantially as follows:

 

Gross unrealized appreciation

   $ 4,878  

Gross unrealized depreciation

     (2,988 )
        

Net unrealized appreciation

   $ 1,890  
        

Security Valuation

The Fund’s securities are valued on the basis of readily available market quotations or, lacking such quotations, at fair value as determined under policies approved by and under the general oversight of the Board of Directors. In determining fair value, all relevant qualitative and quantitative factors available are considered. These factors are subject to change over time and are reviewed periodically. The Fund may use fair value pricing instead of market quotations to value one or more securities if the Fund believes that, because of special circumstances, doing so would more accurately reflect the prices the Fund expects to realize on the current sale of those securities. Further, because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation, those estimated values may differ significantly from quoted or published values or from the values that would have been used had a ready market for the investments existed, and the differences could be material.

Securities Lending

The Fund may lend its securities to approved brokers to earn additional income, and will receive cash and U.S. government securities as collateral against the loans. Cash collateral received is invested in a money market pooled account by the Fund’s lending agent. Collateral is maintained over the life of the loan in an amount not less than 100% of the value of the loaned securities.

At September 30, 2007, the market value of the securities on loan to broker-dealers was $18,530 for which the fund received collateral of $18,924 in cash. Such collateral is in the possession of the Fund’s custodian. The cash invested in the State Street Navigator Securities Lending Prime Portfolio is included in the Fund’s portfolio of investments. As wish other extensions of credit, the Fund may bear the risk of delay in recovery or even loss of rights to the collateral should the borrower of the securities fail financially.

Other information regarding the Fund is available in the Fund’s most recent Report to Shareholders. This information is available on the Securities and Exchange Commission’s website (www.sec.gov).
