All of the assets of the Fund are subject to segregation to satisfy the requirements of the escrow agent. At March 31, 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 March 31, 2009, the aggregate fair value of derivative instruments in an asset position and in a liability position and whose primary underlying risk exposure is equity price risk was $180,314,685 and $13,677,200, respectively.
 
Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”, established a three-tier hierarchy to prioritize the assumptions, referred to as inputs, 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.
 
At March 31, 2009, the inputs used in valuing the Fund’s investments, which are carried at value, were as follows:
 
                     
        Investments in
    Other Financial
 
    Valuation Inputs   Securities     Instruments*  
Level 1
  Quoted Prices   $ 1,155,357,422     $ (13,677,200 )
Level 2
  Other Significant Observable Inputs     23,976,805        
Level 3
  Significant Unobservable Inputs            
                     
Total
      $ 1,179,334,227     $ (13,677,200 )
                     
 
* Other financial instruments include written call options.
 
The Fund held no investments or other financial instruments as of December 31, 2008 whose fair value was determined using Level 3 inputs.
 
Exchange-traded options are valued at the last sale price for the day of valuation as quoted on any exchange on which the option is listed or, in the absence of sales on such date, at the mean between the closing bid and asked prices therefore as reported by the Options Price Reporting Authority. Over-the-counter options are valued based on broker quotations, when available and deemed reliable.
