Table of Contents

FAS 157 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)
The following is a summary of the inputs used as of March 31, 2009 in valuing the Trust’s investments carried at fair value:
