(1) | All percentages shown in the Portfolio of Investments are based on net assets applicable to Common | |
shares unless otherwise noted. | ||
(2) | Optional Call Provisions: Dates (month and year) and prices of the earliest optional call or redemption. There | |
may be other call provisions at varying prices at later dates. Certain mortgage-backed securities may be | ||
subject to periodic principal paydowns. | ||
(3) | Ratings: Using the higher of Standard & Poors Group (Standard & Poors) or Moodys Investor Service, Inc. | |
(Moodys) rating. Ratings below BBB by Standard & Poors or Baa by Moodys are considered to be below | ||
investment grade. | ||
The Portfolio of Investments reflects the ratings on certain bonds insured by AMBAC, CIFG, FGIC, MBIA | ||
and XLCA as of February 29, 2008. Subsequent to February 29, 2008, at least one rating agency reduced | ||
the rating for AMBAC-insured bonds to AA and at least one rating agency further reduced the ratings for | ||
CIFG-insured, FGIC-insured and XLCA-insured bonds. As of February 29, 2008, one or more rating agencies | ||
have placed each of these insurers on negative credit watch, which may presage one or more rating | ||
reductions for such insurer or insurers in the future. If one or more insurers ratings are reduced by these | ||
rating agencies, it would likely reduce the effective rating of many of the bonds insured by that insurer | ||
or insurers. | ||
(4) | Investment valued at fair value using methods determined in good faith by, or at the discretion of, the Board | |
of Trustees. | ||
(5) | Backed by an escrow or trust containing sufficient U.S. Government or U.S. Government agency securities | |
which ensure the timely payment of principal and interest. Such investments are normally considered to | ||
be equivalent to AAA rated securities. | ||
(6) | Preferred Shares, at Liquidation Value as a percentage of total investments is (35.3)%. | |
(7) | Effective date represents the date on which both the Fund and counterparty commence interest payment | |
accruals on each forward swap contract. | ||
N/R | Not rated. | |
(ETM) | Escrowed to maturity. |
Income Tax Information

Differences between amounts for financial statement and federal income tax purposes are primarily due to the treatment of paydown gains and losses, timing differences in recognizing taxable market discount and timing differences in recognizing certain gains and losses on investment transactions. To the extent that differences arise that are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities presented in the annual report, based on their federal tax basis treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification. Temporary and permanent differences do not impact the net asset value of the Fund.
