Sector classifications and the assignment of holdings to such sectors, are based upon
the
economic sector and/or revenue source of the underlying obligor, as determined by the Fund’s
Adviser. For securities that have been enhanced by a third-party guarantor, such as
bond insurers
and banks, sector classifications are based upon the economic sector and/or revenue
source of
the underlying obligor, as determined by the Fund’s Adviser. Pre-refunded securities are those
whose debt service is paid from escrowed assets, usually U.S. government securities.

|
For purposes of this table, sector classifications constitute 91.9% of the Fund’s total net assets.
Remaining sectors have been aggregated under the designation “Other.”
