(1) | Computed
using average shares outstanding. |
|

or market value with all distributions reinvested. Distributions are assumed to be reinvested
at prices obtained under the Fund’s dividend reinvestment plan. |

paid by the Fund. |

payable) from the Fund’s total assets, and dividing the result by the borrowings payable/notes
payable balance in thousands. |
|
(5) | Amount
is less than $0.005. |
|
(6) | Includes
a reduction by the investment adviser of a portion of its adviser fee due to the Fund’s
investment in the Liquidity Funds (equal to less than 0.005% of average daily net assets
for the years ended October 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022). |
|
(7) | Not
annualized. |
|
(8) | Annualized. |
|
(9) | For
the two months ended October 31, 2018. Effective September 1, 2018, the fiscal year-end of
the Fund changed from August 31 to October 31. |
