Various inputs are used in determining the value of the fund's investments relating to Financial Accounting Standard No. 157 (FAS 157), Fair Value Measurements.

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 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 August 31, 2008 in valuing the fund's investments carried at fair value:

Valuation Inputs		Investments in Securities ($)		Other Financial Instruments* ($)
Level 1 - Quoted Prices		0				0
Level 2 - Other Significant Observable Inputs		595,626,751				0
Level 3 - Significant Unobservable Inputs		0				0
Total		595,626,751				0

*Other financial instruments include derivative instruments, such as futures, forward currency exchange contracts and swap contracts, which are valued at the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on the instrument.
