The Fund 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 December 31, 2007, 83.0% 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 5.3% to 26.5% of total investments.
