At August 31, 2010, the concentration of the Trust’s investments in the various states, determined as a percentage of total investments, is as follows:
             
             
        New York   14.6%
        California   11.9%
        Others, representing less than 10% individually   73.5%
 
The Trust invests primarily in debt securities issued by municipalities. The ability of the issuers of the debt securities to meet their obligations may be affected by economic developments in a specific industry or municipality. In order to reduce the risk associated with such economic developments, at August 31, 2010, 34.9% of total investments are backed by bond insurance of various financial institutions and financial guaranty assurance agencies. The aggregate percentage insured by an individual financial institution ranged from 1.3% to 12.2% of total investments.

      Security represents the underlying municipal bond of an inverse floater.

                        $ (967,654 )
                             
 
The effective date represents the date on which the Trust and the counterparty to the interest rate swap contract begin interest payment accruals.
 
At August 31, 2010, the Trust had sufficient cash and/or securities to cover commitments under these contracts.
 
The Trust is subject to interest rate risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. Because the Trust holds fixed rate bonds, the value of these bonds may decrease if interest rates rise. To hedge against this risk, the Trust may enter into interest rate swap contracts.
 
At August 31, 2010, the aggregate fair value of derivative instruments (not considered to be hedging instruments for accounting disclosure purposes) in a liability position and whose primary underlying risk exposure is interest rate risk was $967,654.
 
The cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments of the Trust at August 31, 2010, as determined on a federal income tax basis, were as follows:
 
         
Aggregate cost
  $ 382,401,590  
         
Gross unrealized appreciation
  $ 36,862,058  
Gross unrealized depreciation
    (26,172,738 )
         
Net unrealized appreciation
  $ 10,689,320  
         
 
Under generally accepted accounting principles for fair value measurements, a three-tier hierarchy to prioritize the assumptions, referred to as inputs, is 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 August 31, 2010, the inputs used in valuing the Trust’s investments, which are carried at value, were as follows:
 
                                 
    Quoted Prices in
                   
    Active Markets for
    Significant Other
