The Funds utilizes various inputs in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:


Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical securities


Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)


Level 3 - significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)


The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.


The following is a summary of the inputs used as of September 30, 2012 in valuing the Funds’ assets carried at fair value:
