All of the assets of the Fund are subject to segregation to satisfy the requirements of the escrow agent. At September 30, 2009, the Fund had sufficient cash and/or securities to cover commitments under these contracts.
 
The Fund is subject to equity price risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objective. The Fund generally intends to purchase index put options below the current value of the index to reduce the Fund’s exposure to market risk and volatility. In buying index put options, 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. The Fund generally intends to write index call options above the current value of the index to generate premium income. In writing index call options, the Fund in effect, sells potential appreciation in the value of the applicable index above the exercise price in exchange for the option premium received. The Fund retains the risk of loss, minus the premium received, should the price of the underlying index decline.
 
At September 30, 2009, the aggregate fair value of derivative instruments (not considered to be hedging instruments for accounting disclosure purposes) in a liability position and whose primary underlying risk exposure is interest rate risk was $11,887,600.
 
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 fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
 
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
