1 | Sector classifications, and the assignment of holdings to such sectors, are based upon the economic sector and/or revenue source of the underlying borrower, as determined by the Fund's Adviser. For securities that have been enhanced by a third-party (other than a bond insurer), such as a guarantor, sector classifications are based upon the economic sector and/or revenue source of the third party, as determined by the Fund's Adviser. Securities that are insured by a bond insurer are assigned according to the economic sector and/or revenue source of the underlying obligor. Pre-refunded securities are those whose debt service is paid from escrowed funds, usually U.S. government securities. |
2 | Percentages reflect the fully consolidated asset of any inverse floater trust as presented in the Portfolio of Investments. |
3 | For purposes of this table, sector classifications constitute 85.0% of the Fund's investments. Remaining sectors have been aggregated under the designation “Other.” |

1 | Sector classifications, and the assignment of holdings to such sectors, are based upon the economic sector and/or revenue source of the underlying borrower, as determined by the Fund's Adviser. For securities that have been enhanced by a third-party (other than a bond insurer), such as a guarantor, sector classifications are based upon the economic sector and/or revenue source of the third party, as determined by the Fund's Adviser. Securities that are insured by a bond insurer are assigned according to the economic sector and/or revenue source of the underlying obligor. Pre-refunded securities are those whose debt service is paid from escrowed funds, usually U.S. government securities. |
2 | Percentages reflect the fully consolidated asset of any inverse floater trust as presented in the Portfolio of Investments. |
3 | For purposes of this table, sector classifications constitute 91.7% of the Fund's total investments. Remaining sectors have been aggregated under the designation “Other.” |
