NOTES TO SCHEDULE OF INVESTMENTS:

*    Portfolio securities and other financial instruments for which market
     quotations are readily available are stated at market value. The Fund's
     investments are valued daily by an independent pricing service approved by
     the Board of Trustees, dealer quotations, or are valued at the last sale
     price on the exchange that is the primary market for such securities, or
     the last quoted bid price for those securities for which the
     over-the-counter market is the primary market or for listed securities in
     which there were no sales. Prices obtained from independent pricing
     services use information provided by market makers or estimates of market
     values obtained from yield data relating to investments or securities with
     similar characteristics. Short-term investments maturing in 60 days or less
     are valued at amortized cost, if their original maturity was 60 days or
     less, or by amortizing their value on the 61st day prior to maturity, if
     the original term to maturity exceeded 60 days. Exchange traded options are
     valued at the settlement price determined by the relevant exchange
     Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or if a
     development/event occurs that may significantly impact the value of the
     security, may be fair-valued in good faith pursuant to guidelines
     established by the Board of Trustees. The prices used by the Fund to value
     securities may differ from the value that would be realized if the
     securities were sold. The Fund's net asset value is determined daily at the
     close of regular trading (normally, 4:00 p.m. Eastern time) on the New York
     Stock Exchange.


(a)  144A security--Security exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the
     Securities Act of 1933. These securities may be resold in transactions
     exempt from registration, typically only to qualified institutional
     investors.

(b)  Private placement security.

(c)  Variable rate security. Interest rate disclosed reflects the rate in effect
     on April 30, 2005. 

(d)  Non-income producing.
