For Fund compliance purposes, the Funds sector classifications refer to any

Fair Value Measurements - Various inputs are used in determining the fair
value of investments, which are as follows:
Level 1 price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical assets
and liabilities
Level 2 other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted
prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted
prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not
active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or
liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment
speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-
corroborated inputs)
Level 3 unobservable inputs based on the best information available in
the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available
(including the Fund's own assumptions used in determining the fair value of
investments)
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an
indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. For
information about the Fund's policy regarding valuation of investments and
other significant accounting policies, please refer to the Funds most recent
financial statements as contained in its annual report.
The following table summarizes the inputs used as of October 31, 2010 in
