All of the assets of the Fund are subject to segregation to satisfy the requirements of the escrow agent. At March 31, 2014, the Fund had sufficient cash and/or securities to cover commitments under these contracts.
In the normal course of pursuing its investment objective, the Fund is subject to the following risks:
Equity Price Risk: The Fund pursues a collared options strategy which consists of buying S&P 500 index put options below the current value of the index and writing S&P 500 index call options above the current value of the index with the same expiration. The strategy uses the premium income from the written call options to buy an equal number of put options. In buying put options on an index, the Fund in effect, acquires protection against decline in the value of the applicable index below the exercise price in exchange for the option premium paid. In writing index call options, the Fund in effect, sells potential appreciation in the value of the applicable index above the exercise price. The Fund retains the risk of lost appreciation, minus the premium received, should the price of the underlying index rise above the strike price. Under normal market conditions, the Funds use of option collars is expected to provide a more consistent level of market exposure and market protection.
Foreign Exchange Risk: Because the Fund holds foreign currency denominated investments, the value of these investments and related receivables and payables may change due to future changes in foreign currency exchange rates. To hedge against the risk, the Fund enters into forward foreign currency exchange contracts.
The fair value of open derivative instruments (not considered to be hedging instruments for accounting disclosure purposes) by risk exposure at March 31, 2014 was as follows:

Under generally accepted accounting principles for fair value measurements, a three-tier hierarchy to prioritize the assumptions, referred to as inputs, is used in valuation techniques to measure fair value. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized in the three broad levels listed below.
| Level 1 quoted prices in active markets for identical investments |
| Level 2 other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.) |
| Level 3 significant unobservable inputs (including a funds own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) |
In cases where the inputs used to measure fair value fall in different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level disclosed is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
At March 31, 2014, the hierarchy of inputs used in valuing the Funds investments and open derivative instruments, which are carried at value, were as follows:
