Notes to Schedule of Investments:
   
*

Portfolio securities and other financial instruments for which market quotations are readily available are stated at market value. Market value is generally determined on the basis of last reported sales prices, or if no sales are reported, based on quotes obtained from a quotation reporting system, established market makers, or independent pricing services.

 
 

Portfolio securities and other financial instruments for which market quotations are not readily available or for which a development/event occurs that may significantly impact the value of a security, are fair-valued, in good faith, pursuant to guidelines established by the Board of Trustees, or persons acting at their discretion pursuant to procedures established by the Board of Trustees. The Fund's investments are valued daily using prices supplied by an independent pricing service or dealer quotations, or by using the last sale price on the exchange that is the primary market for such securities, or the last quoted mean price for those securities for which the over-the-counter market is the primary market or for listed securities in which there were no sales. Independent pricing services use information provided by market makers or estimates of market values obtained from yield data relating to investments or securities with similar characteristics. Synthetic convertible securities are valued based on quotations obtained from unaffiliated brokers who are the principal market-makers in such securities. Such valuations are derived by the brokers from proprietary models which are generally based on readily available market information including valuations of the common stock underlying the synthetic security and the volatility observed in the market on such common stocks. Short-term securities maturing in 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost which approximates fair value, if their original term to maturity was 60 days or less, or by amortizing their value on the 61st day prior to maturity, if the original term to maturity exceeded 60 days.

 
 

The prices used by the Fund to value securities may differ from the value that would be realized if the securities were sold and these differences could be material. The Fund’s net asset value is normally determined daily as of the close of regular trading (normally, 4:00 p.m. Eastern time) on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) on each day the NYSE is open for business.

Fair Value Measurements—The Fund has adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”). This standard clarifies the definition of fair value for financial reporting, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and requires additional disclosures about the use of the fair value measurements. Under this standard, fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e. “exit price”) in an orderly transaction between market participants. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under SFAS 157 are described below:

  • Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical investments that the Fund has the ability to access.
  • Level 2 — valuations based on other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.) or quotes from inactive exchanges.
  • Level 3 — valuations based on significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

An investment asset or liability's level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level input, individually or in the aggregate, that is significant to fair value measurement.

The valuation techniques used by the Fund to measure fair value during the three months ended May 31, 2009 maximized the use of observable inputs and minimized the use of unobservable inputs.

The inputs and methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

The following is a summary of the inputs used at May 31, 2009 in valuing the Fund's investments carried at value:

    Investments in    
  Valuation Inputs   Securities    
  Level 1 — Quoted Prices $72,338,910    
  Level 2 — Other Significant Observable Inputs 546,463,186    
  Level 3 — Significant Unobservable Inputs   23,441,562    
  Total   $642,243,658    

A roll forward of fair value measurement using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) at May 31, 2009, was as follows:

    Investments in    
      Securities    
  Beginning balance, February 28, 2009 $19,461,237
