APRIL 30, 2012 |

One year ago at this time, risk assets were in a broad retreat as political strife in Greece ignited fears about sovereign debt problems spreading across Europe and economic indicators signaled that the global recovery had slowed. Confidence was further shaken by the prolonged debt ceiling debate in Washington, DC. Early in August 2011, Standard & Poors downgraded the US governments credit rating and turmoil erupted in financial markets around the world. Extraordinary levels of volatility persisted in the months that followed as the European debt crisis intensified. Macro news flow became the dominant force in financial markets, driving asset prices up and down in lock step, in a risk on/risk off trading pattern. By the end of the third quarter in 2011, equity markets had fallen nearly 20% from their April peak while safe-haven assets such as US Treasuries and gold had rallied to historic highs.
October 2011 brought enough positive economic data to assuage fears of a global double-dip recession. Additionally, European leaders began making concerted efforts to stem the regions debt crisis. Investors began to reenter the markets, putting risk assets on the road to recovery. Improving sentiment carried over into early 2012 as a number of factors elicited greater optimism. Sovereign debt problems in Europe became less pressing. Greece secured its second bailout package and completed the restructuring of its national debt. The European Central Bank gave financial markets a boost by providing additional liquidity through its long-term refinancing operations. The outlook for the global economy grew less dim as stronger data from the United States, particularly from the labor market, lifted sentiment. Hopes for additional monetary stimulus from the US Federal Reserve and strong corporate earnings pushed risk assets (including stocks, commodities and high yield bonds) higher through the first two months of the year while rising Treasury yields pressured higher-quality fixed income assets. The risk rally softened in late March, however, due to renewed fears about slowing growth in China and Europes debt troubles. Equity markets staggered downward in April as Spains financial situation became increasingly severe and elections in Greece and France added to uncertainty about the future of the euro zone. In the United States, disappointing jobs reports in April revealed that the recent acceleration in the labor market had been a short-lived surge. Overall, US economic data signaled that the pace of the recovery had slowed, but not to the extent that warranted additional monetary stimulus.
Thanks in large part to an exceptionally strong first quarter of 2012, equities and high yield bonds posted solid returns for the 6-month period ended April 30, 2012. On a 12-month basis, US large-cap stocks and high yield bonds delivered positive results; however, small-cap stocks finished in negative territory. International and emerging equities, which experienced significant downturns in 2011, lagged the broader rebound. Fixed income securities, including corporate, government and municipal bonds, performed well despite recent yield volatility. US Treasury bonds finished strong, with an April rally erasing the effects of their broad sell-off during February and March. Continued low short-term interest rates kept yields on money market securities near their all-time lows.
Financial markets have regained a significant degree of stability since the period of turmoil we endured last year; however, considerable headwinds remain. Political uncertainty in Europe elevates concerns about additional flare ups in the debt crisis. Higher energy prices and slowing growth in China continue to pose risks for the global economy. Potential political leadership changes around the world create additional layers of uncertainty. But, we believe that with these challenges come opportunities. We remain committed to working with you and your financial professional to identify actionable ideas for your portfolio. We encourage you to visit www.blackrock.com/newworld for more information.

For the 12-Month Period Ended April 30, 2012 |
One year ago, the municipal bond market was steadily recovering from a difficult fourth quarter of 2010 that brought severe losses amid a steepening US Treasury yield curve and a flood of inflated headlines about municipal finance troubles. Retail investors had lost confidence in municipals and retreated from the market. Political uncertainty surrounding the midterm elections and tax policies exacerbated the situation. These conditions combined with seasonal illiquidity weakened willful market participation from the trading community. December 2010 brought declining demand with no comparable reduction in supply as issuers rushed their deals to market before the Build America Bond program was retired. This supply-demand imbalance led to wider quality spreads and higher yields for municipal bonds heading into 2011.
Demand is usually strong at the beginning of a new year, but retail investors continued to move away from municipal mutual funds in the first half of 2011. From the middle of November 2010, outflows persisted for 29 consecutive weeks, totaling $35.1 billion before the trend finally broke in June 2011. However, weak demand was counterbalanced by lower supply in 2011. According to Thomson Reuters, new issuance was down 32% in 2011 as compared to the prior year. While these technical factors were improving, municipalities were struggling to balance their budgets, although the late-2010 predictions for widespread municipal defaults did not materialize. Other concerns that resonated at the beginning of the year, such as rising interest rates, weakening credits and higher rates of inflation, abated as these scenarios also did not come to fruition.
On August 5, 2011, Standard & Poors (S&P) downgraded the US governments credit rating from AAA to AA+. While this led to the downgrade of approximately 11,000 municipal issues directly tied to the US debt rating, this represented a very small fraction of the municipal market and said nothing about the individual municipal credits themselves. In fact, demand for municipal bonds increased as severe volatility in US equities drove investors to more stable asset classes. The municipal market benefited from an exuberant Treasury market and continued muted new issuance. As supply remained constrained, demand from both traditional and non-traditional buyers was strong, pushing long-term municipal bond yields lower and sparking a curve-flattening trend that continued through year end. Ultimately, 2011 was one of the strongest performance years in municipal market history. The S&P Municipal Bond Index returned 10.62% in 2011, making municipal bonds a top-performing fixed income asset class for the year.
Municipal market supply-and-demand technicals typically strengthen considerably upon the conclusion of tax season as net negative supply takes hold. This theme remained intact for 2012. Overall, the municipal yield curve flattened during the period from April 30, 2011 to April 30, 2012. As measured by Thomson Municipal Market Data, yields declined by 133 basis points (bps) to 3.25% on AAA-rated 30-year municipal bonds and by 98 bps to 1.87% on 10-year bonds, while yields on 5-year issues fell 68 bps to 0.82%. While the entire municipal curve flattened over the 12-month time period, the spread between 2- and 30-year maturities tightened by 108 bps, and in the 2- to 10-year range, the spread tightened by 73 bps.
The fundamental picture for municipalities continues to improve. Austerity has been the general theme across the country, while a small number of states continue to rely on a kick-the-can approach to close their budget shortfalls, with aggressive revenue projections and accounting gimmicks. It has been well over a year since the fiscal problems plaguing state and local governments first became highly publicized. Thus far, the prophecy of widespread defaults across the municipal market has not materialized. Year-to-date through the end of April, less than $470 million in par value of municipal bonds have defaulted for the first time. This represents only 0.0125% in total municipal bonds outstanding, as compared to 0.065% for the full year 2011. (Data provided by Bank of America.) BlackRock maintains the view that municipal bond defaults will remain in the periphery and the overall market is fundamentally sound. We continue to recognize that careful credit research and security selection remain imperative amid uncertainty in this economic environment.

BlackRock MuniAssets Fund, Inc. |
|
|
|
Fund Overview |
BlackRock MuniAssets Fund, Inc.s (MUA) (the Fund) investment objective is to provide high current income exempt from federal income taxes by investing primarily in a portfolio of medium- to lower-grade or unrated municipal obligations, the interest on which, in the opinion of bond counsel to the issuer, is exempt from federal income taxes. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing, under normal market conditions, at least 80% of its assets in municipal bonds exempt from federal income taxes (except that the interest may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax). The Fund invests at least 65% of its assets in municipal bonds that are rated in the medium to lower categories by nationally recognized rating services (for example, Baa or lower by Moodys Investors Service, Inc. or BBB or lower by Standard & Poors Corporation) or non-rated securities which are of comparable quality. The Fund may invest directly in such securities or synthetically through the use of derivatives.
|
|
|
No assurance can be given that the Funds investment objective will be achieved. |
|
Performance |
For the 12 months ended April 30, 2012, the Fund returned 23.99% based on market price and 17.90% based on net asset value (NAV). For the same period, the closed-end Lipper High Yield Municipal Debt Funds category posted an average return of 25.16% based on market price and 21.21% based on NAV. All returns reflect reinvestment of dividends. The Funds discount to NAV, which narrowed during the period, accounts for the difference between performance based on price and performance based on NAV. The following discussion relates to performance based on NAV. The primary factors contributing to positive performance during the period were the Funds sector concentrations in transportation, utilities and health as well as a yield curve-flattening bias. The Fund has consistently emphasized longer-dated securities in order to benefit from long-term rates declining faster than short-term rates, a scenario that occurred during the period. Detracting from performance was security selection within various sectors. The distribution yield generated by the Funds holdings fell below the average of its Lipper category peers, causing a drag on the Funds total return for the period.

Fund Summary as of April 30, 2012 |
BlackRock MuniEnhanced Fund, Inc. |
|
|
Fund Overview |
BlackRock MuniEnhanced Fund, Inc.s (MEN) (the Fund) investment objective is to provide shareholders with as high a level of current income exempt from federal income taxes as is consistent with its investment policies and prudent investment management. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing at least 80% of its assets in municipal bonds exempt from federal income taxes (except that the interest may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax). Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests primarily in long-term municipal bonds rated investment grade quality at the time of investment and invests primarily in long-term municipal bonds with maturities of more than ten years at the time of investment. The Fund may invest directly in such securities or synthetically through the use of derivatives.
|
|
|
No assurance can be given that the Funds investment objective will be achieved. |
|
Performance |
For the 12 months ended April 30, 2012, the Fund returned 24.11% based on market price and 25.12% based on NAV. For the same period, the closed-end Lipper General & Insured Municipal Debt Funds (Leveraged) category posted an average return of 25.51% based on market price and 23.04% based on NAV. All returns reflect reinvestment of dividends. The Funds discount to NAV, which widened during the period, accounts for the difference between performance based on price and performance based on NAV. The following discussion relates to performance based on NAV. The largest drivers of Fund performance during the period were the decline in interest rates (bond prices rise when interest rates fall), the flattening of the yield curve (long-term interest rates fell more than short and intermediate rates) and tightening of credit spreads. The Funds exposure to zero-coupon bonds and the health sector contributed positively to performance as these bonds derived the greatest benefit from the declining interest rates and spread tightening during the period.

Performance |
For the 12 months ended April 30, 2012, the Fund returned 33.28% based on market price and 26.57% based on NAV. For the same period, the closed-end Lipper General & Insured Municipal Debt Funds (Leveraged) category posted an average return of 25.51% based on market price and 23.04% based on NAV. All returns reflect reinvestment of dividends. The Fund moved from a discount to NAV to a premium by period end, which accounts for the difference between performance based on price and performance based on NAV. The following discussion relates to performance based on NAV. The primary factors contributing to positive performance during the period were the Funds duration positioning (preference for securities with a higher sensitivity to interest rate movements) and yield curve-flattening bias. The Fund has consistently emphasized longer-dated securities in order to benefit from long-term rates declining faster than short-term rates, a scenario that occurred during the period. In addition, sector concentrations in health and transportation proved beneficial, as did the avoidance of pre-refunded and escrowed issues, which underperformed the broader market. The Funds holdings generated a high distribution yield, which in the aggregate, had a meaningful impact on returns. Detracting from performance was the Funds long-standing focus on corporate-related debt, which modestly underperformed the market during the period.

Fund Summary as of April 30, 2012 |
BlackRock MuniHoldings Fund II, Inc. |
|
Fund Overview |
BlackRock MuniHoldings Fund II, Inc.s (MUH) (the Fund) investment objective is to provide shareholders with current income exempt from federal income taxes. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing, under normal market conditions, at least 80% of its assets in municipal bonds exempt from federal income taxes (except that the interest may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax). The Fund invests, under normal market conditions, at least 75% of its assets in municipal bonds rated investment grade and invests primarily in long-term municipal bonds with a maturity of more than ten years at the time of investment. The Fund may invest directly in such securities or synthetically through the use of derivatives.
No assurance can be given that the Funds investment objective will be achieved.
|
Performance |
For the 12 months ended April 30, 2012, the Fund returned 31.60% based on market price and 26.08% based on NAV. For the same period, the closed-end Lipper General & Insured Municipal Debt Funds (Leveraged) category posted an average return of 25.51% based on market price and 23.04% based on NAV. All returns reflect reinvestment of dividends. The Fund moved from a discount to NAV to a premium by period end, which accounts for the difference between performance based on price and performance based on NAV. The following discussion relates to performance based on NAV. The primary factors contributing to positive performance during the period were the Funds duration positioning (preference for securities with a higher sensitivity to interest rate movements) and yield curve-flattening bias. The Fund has consistently emphasized longer-dated securities in order to benefit from long-term rates declining faster than short-term rates, a scenario that occurred during the period. In addition, sector concentrations in health and transportation proved beneficial, as did the avoidance of pre-refunded and escrowed issues, which underperformed the broader market. The Funds holdings generated a high distribution yield, which in the aggregate, had a meaningful impact on returns. Detracting from performance was the Funds long-standing focus on corporate-related debt, which modestly underperformed the market during the period.

The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing primarily in municipal obligations exempt from federal income taxes (except that the interest may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax).

The Fund may invest directly in such securities or synthetically through the use of derivatives.
|
|
|
No assurance can be given that the Funds investment objective will be achieved. |
Performance |
For the 12 months ended April 30, 2012, the Fund returned 25.90% based on market price and 24.96% based on NAV. For the same period, the closed-end Lipper General & Insured Municipal Debt Funds (Leveraged) category posted an average return of 25.51% based on market price and 23.04% based on NAV. All returns reflect reinvestment of dividends. The Funds discount to NAV, which narrowed during the period, accounts for the difference between performance based on price and performance based on NAV. The following discussion relates to performance based on NAV. The Funds exposure to bonds with longer-dated maturities had a positive impact on performance as the municipal yield curve flattened during the period. (Bond prices rise as their yields fall.) The Funds longer-dated holdings in the health, transportation and education sectors contributed most to the price appreciation in the Fund.

BlackRock Muni Intermediate Duration Fund, Inc. |
|
Fund Overview |
BlackRock Muni Intermediate Duration Fund, Inc.s (MUI) (the Fund) investment objective is to provide common shareholders with high current income exempt from federal income taxes. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing at least 80% of its assets in municipal bonds exempt from federal income taxes (except that the interest may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax). Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests at least 75% of its assets in municipal bonds rated investment grade and invests at least 80% of its assets in municipal bonds with a duration of three to ten years at the time of investment. The Fund may invest directly in such securities or synthetically through the use of derivatives.
|
|
|
No assurance can be given that the Funds investment objective will be achieved. |
|
Performance |
For the 12 months ended April 30, 2012, the Fund returned 27.56% based on market price and 18.74% based on NAV. For the same period, the closed-end Lipper Intermediate Municipal Debt Funds category posted an average return of 22.24% based on market price and 14.74% based on NAV. All returns reflect reinvestment of dividends. The Fund moved from a discount to NAV to a premium by period end, which accounts for the difference between performance based on price and performance based on NAV. The following discussion relates to performance based on NAV. The Fund benefited from its overall long duration bias (preference for securities with a higher sensitivity to interest rate movements) and its positioning toward the longer end of the municipal yield curve, within its intermediate duration mandate. These factors had the largest positive impact on returns as the municipal yield curve rallied lower (interest rates declined) and flattened (rates on the longer end of the curve fell the most) during the period. Also contributing positively to performance were the Funds heavy weightings in the tax-backed and health sectors.

Fund Summary as of April 30, 2012 |
BlackRock MuniVest Fund II, Inc. |
|
Fund Overview |
BlackRock MuniVest Fund II, Inc.s (MVT) (the Fund) investment objective is to provide shareholders with as high a level of current income exempt from federal income taxes as is consistent with its investment policies and prudent investment management. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing at least 80% of its assets in municipal bonds exempt from federal income taxes (except that the interest may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax). The Fund invests, under normal market conditions, at least 75% of its assets in municipal bonds rated investment grade and invests primarily in long-term municipal bonds with a maturity of more than ten years at the time of investment. The Fund may invest directly in such securities or synthetically through the use of derivatives.
No assurance can be given that the Funds investment objective will be achieved.

Performance |
For the 12 months ended April 30, 2012, the Fund returned 31.13% based on market price and 26.86% based on NAV. For the same period, the closed-end Lipper General & Insured Municipal Debt Funds (Leveraged) category posted an average return of 25.51% based on market price and 23.04% based on NAV. All returns reflect reinvestment of dividends. The Funds premium to NAV, which widened during the period, accounts for the difference between performance based on price and performance based on NAV. The following discussion relates to performance based on NAV. The primary factors contributing to positive performance during the period were the Funds duration positioning (preference for securities with a higher sensitivity to interest rate movements) and yield curve-flattening bias. The Fund has consistently emphasized longer-dated securities in order to benefit from long-term rates declining faster than short-term rates, a scenario that occurred during the period. In addition, sector concentrations in health and transportation proved beneficial, as did the avoidance of pre-refunded and escrowed issues, which underperformed the broader market. The Funds holdings generated a high distribution yield, which in the aggregate, had a meaningful impact on returns. Detracting from performance was the Funds long-standing focus on corporate-related debt, which modestly underperformed the market during the period.

The Funds may utilize leverage to seek to enhance the yield and NAV of their common shares (Common Shares). However, these objectives cannot be achieved in all interest rate environments.
To obtain leverage, the Funds, except MUA, issue Variable Rate Demand Preferred Shares (VRDP Shares) or Variable Rate Muni Term Preferred Shares (VMTP Shares) and previously issued and had outstanding Auction Market Preferred Shares (AMPS) (VRDP Shares, VMTP Shares, and as applicable AMPS, are collectively referred to as Preferred Shares). Preferred Shares pay dividends at prevailing short-term interest rates, and the Funds invest the proceeds in long-term municipal bonds. In general, the concept of leveraging is based on the premise that the financing cost of assets to be obtained from leverage, which will be based on short-term interest rates, will normally be lower than the income earned by each Fund on its longer-term portfolio investments. To the extent that the total assets of each Fund (including the assets obtained from leverage) are invested in higher-yielding portfolio investments, each Funds shareholders will benefit from the incremental net income.
To illustrate these concepts, assume a Funds Common Shares capitalization is $100 million and it issues Preferred Shares for an additional $50 million, creating a total value of $150 million available for investment in long-term municipal bonds. If prevailing short-term interest rates are 3% and long-term interest rates are 6%, the yield curve has a strongly positive slope. In this case, the Fund pays dividends on the $50 million of Preferred Shares based on the lower short-term interest rates. At the same time, the securities purchased by the Fund with assets received from Preferred Shares issuance earn income based on long-term interest rates. In this case, the dividends paid to holders of Preferred Shares (Preferred Shareholders) are significantly lower than the income earned on the Funds long-term investments, and therefore the Common Shareholders are the beneficiaries of the incremental net income.
If short-term interest rates rise, narrowing the differential between short-term and long-term interest rates, the incremental net income pickup will be reduced or eliminated completely. Furthermore, if prevailing short-term interest rates rise above long-term interest rates, the yield curve has a negative slope. In this case, the Fund pays higher short-term interest rates whereas the Funds total portfolio earns income based on lower long-term interest rates.
Furthermore, the value of the Funds portfolio investments generally varies inversely with the direction of long-term interest rates, although other factors can influence the value of portfolio investments. In contrast, the redemption value of the Funds Preferred Shares and/or debt securities does not fluctuate in relation to interest rates. As a result, changes in interest rates can influence the Funds NAVs positively or negatively in addition to the impact on Fund performance from leverage from Preferred Shares and borrowings discussed above.
The Funds may also leverage their assets through the use of TOBs, as described in Note 1 of the Notes to Financial Statements. TOB investments generally will provide the Funds with economic benefits in periods of declining short-term interest rates, but expose the Funds to risks during periods of rising short-term interest rates similar to those associated with Preferred Shares issued by the Funds, as described above. Additionally, fluctuations in the market value of municipal bonds deposited into the TOB trust may adversely affect each Funds NAV per share.
The use of leverage may enhance opportunities for increased income to the Funds and Common Shareholders, but as described above, it also creates risks as short- or long-term interest rates fluctuate. Leverage also will generally cause greater changes in the Funds NAVs, market prices and dividend rates than comparable portfolios without leverage. If the income derived from securities purchased with assets received from leverage exceeds the cost of leverage, the Funds net income will be greater than if leverage had not been used. Conversely, if the income from the securities purchased is not sufficient to cover the cost of leverage, each Funds net income will be less than if leverage had not been used, and therefore the amount available for distribution to Common Shareholders will be reduced. Each Fund may be required to sell portfolio securities at inopportune times or at distressed values in order to comply with regulatory requirements applicable to the use of leverage or as required by the terms of leverage instruments, which may cause a Fund to incur losses. The use of leverage may limit each Funds ability to invest in certain types of securities or use certain types of hedging strategies, such as in the case of certain restrictions imposed by rating agencies that rate the Preferred Shares issued by the Funds. Each Fund will incur expenses in connection with the use of leverage, all of which are borne by Common Shareholders and may reduce income to the Common Shares.
Under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), the Funds are permitted to issue senior securities in the form of equity securities (e.g., Preferred Shares) up to 50% of their total managed assets (each Funds total assets less the sum of its accrued liabilities). In addition, each Fund voluntarily limits its economic leverage to 50% of its total managed assets and 45% for Funds with VRDP Shares or VMTP Shares. As of April 30, 2012, the Funds had economic leverage from Preferred Shares and/or TOBs as a percentage of their total managed assets as follows:

The Funds may invest in various derivative financial instruments, including financial futures contracts as specified in Note 2 of the Notes to Financial Statements, which may constitute forms of economic leverage. Such derivative financial instruments are used to obtain exposure to a market without owning or taking physical custody of securities or to hedge market, interest rate and/or other risks. Derivative financial instruments involve risks, including the imperfect correlation between the value of a derivative financial instrument and the underlying asset, possible default of the counterparty to the transaction or illiquidity of the derivative financial instrument. The Funds ability to use a derivative financial instrument successfully depends on the investment advisors ability to predict pertinent market movements accurately, which cannot be assured. The use of derivative financial instruments may result in losses greater than if they had not been used, may require a Fund to sell or purchase portfolio investments at inopportune times or for distressed values, may limit the amount of appreciation a Fund can realize on an investment, may result in lower dividends paid to shareholders or may cause a Fund to hold an investment that it might otherwise sell. The Funds investments in these instruments are discussed in detail in the Notes to Financial Statements.

Fair Value Measurements Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments. These inputs are categorized into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three broad levels for financial statement purposes as follows: |
|
|
|
Level 1 unadjusted price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical assets and liabilities |
|
|
|
Level 2 other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs) |
|
|
|
Level 3 unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the Funds own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments) |
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers into or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The categorization of a value determined for investments and derivative financial instruments is based on the pricing transparency of the investment and derivative financial instrument and is not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. For information about the Funds policy regarding valuation of investments and derivative financial instruments and other significant accounting policies, please refer to Note 1 of the Notes to Financial Statements.

Fair Value Measurements Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments. These inputs are categorized into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three broad levels for financial statement purposes as follows: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Level 1 unadjusted price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical assets and liabilities |
|
|
|
|
|
Level 2 other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs) |
|
|
|
|
|
Level 3 unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the Funds own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments) |
|
|
|
|
Changes in valuation
techniques may result in transfers into or out of an assigned level within
the disclosure hierarchy. The categorization of a value determined for
investments and derivative financial instruments is based on the pricing
transparency of the investment and derivative financial instrument and is not
necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those
securities. For information about the Funds policy regarding valuation of
investments and derivative financial instruments and other significant
accounting policies, please refer to Note 1 of the Notes to Financial
Statements. |
