As of the date specified above, the Fund owned shares of one or more affiliated investment
companies. For purposes of this table, the affiliated investment company (other than an affiliated
money market mutual fund) is not treated as a single portfolio security, but rather the Fund is
treated as owning a pro rata portion of each security and each other asset and liability owned by
the affiliated investment company. Accordingly, the percentages of total net assets shown in the
table will differ from those presented on the Portfolio of Investments.

Based upon net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) or value of the derivative contracts as
applicable. Derivative contracts may consist of futures, forwards, options and swaps. The impact
of a derivative contract on the Fund’s performance may be larger than its unrealized
appreciation (depreciation) or value may indicate. In many cases, the notional value or amount of
a derivative contract may provide a better indication of the contract’s significance to the
portfolio. More complete information regarding the Fund’s direct investments in derivative
contracts, including unrealized appreciation (depreciation), value and notional values or amounts
of such contracts, can be found in the table at the end of the Portfolio of Investments included
in this Report.
