Table of Contents

U.S. generally accepted accounting principles establishes a single definition of fair value, creates a three-tier hierarchy as a framework for measuring fair value based on inputs used to value the Trust’s investments, and requires additional disclosure about fair value. The hierarchy of inputs is summarized below:
Level 1 — unadjusted 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 the Trust’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
For Level 1 inputs, the Fund uses unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for assets or liabilities with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information as the most reliable evidence of fair value. The Fund’s Level 2 valuation techniques include inputs other than quoted prices within Level 1 that are observable for an asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 observable inputs may include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active in which there are few transactions, the prices are not current, or price quotations vary substantially over time or among market participants. Inputs that are observable for the asset or liability in Level 2 include such factors as interest rates, yield curves, prepayment speeds, credit risk, and default rates for similar liabilities. For Level 3 valuation techniques, the Fund uses unobservable inputs that reflect assumptions market participants would be expected to use in pricing the asset or liability. Unobservable inputs are used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available and are developed based on the best information available under the circumstances. In developing unobservable inputs, market participant assumptions are used if they are reasonably available without undue cost and effort.
The inputs or 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 as of March 31, 2010 in valuing the Trust’s investments carried at fair value:
                         
    Level 1   Level 2   Level 3
Investments in Securities
                       
Common Stocks
  $ 684,048,521     $     $ 11,749,980  
Preferred Stocks

Total
  $ 684,048,521     $ 234,014,574     $ 11,749,980  
     
The following is a reconciliation of assets in which significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) were used in determining fair value:
         
    Common Stocks  
Balance as of December 31, 2009
  $ 11,749,980  
Realized gain (loss)
     
Change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation)
