Dear Shareholder

 

About this time one year ago, financial market activity was dominated by concerns about Europe’s debt crisis. Investors were also discouraged by gloomy economic reports from various parts of the world, particularly in China. As the outlook for the global economy worsened, however, investors grew increasingly optimistic that the world’s largest central banks would intervene to stimulate growth. This theme, along with the European Central Bank’s (“ECB’s”) firm commitment to preserve the euro currency bloc, drove most asset classes higher through the summer of 2012. In early September, the ECB announced its sovereign bond-buying program designed to support the region’s debt-laden countries. Days later, the US Federal Reserve announced its own much-anticipated stimulus package.

Although financial markets world-wide were buoyed by these aggressive policy actions, risk assets weakened in the fall of 2012. Global trade slowed as many European countries fell into recession and growth continued to decelerate in China. In the United States, stocks slid on lackluster corporate earnings and volatility rose in advance of the US Presidential election. In the post-election environment, investors became more concerned about the “fiscal cliff,” the automatic tax increases and spending cuts that had been scheduled to take effect at the beginning of 2013. High levels of global market volatility persisted through year-end due to fears that bipartisan gridlock would preclude a timely resolution, putting the US economy at high risk for recession. Ultimately, the worst of the fiscal cliff was averted with a last-minute tax deal, although decisions relating to spending cuts and the debt ceiling were postponed, leaving lingering uncertainty.

Investors shook off the nerve-wracking finale to 2012 and the New Year began with a powerful relief rally. Money that had been pulled to the sidelines amid year-end tax-rate uncertainty poured back into the markets in January. Key indicators signaling modest but broad-based improvements in the world’s major economies underpinned the rally. Underlying this aura of comfort was the absence of negative headlines out of Europe. Against this backdrop, global equities surged through January while rising US Treasury yields pressured high quality fixed income assets (as prices move in the opposite direction of yields).

However, bond markets regained strength in February (as yields once again dropped) when global economic momentum slowed and investors toned down their risk appetite. International stock markets weakened amid a resurgence of macro risk out of Europe. A stalemate presidential election in Italy was a reminder that political instability continued to plague the eurozone and a severe banking crisis in Cyprus underscored the fragility of the broader European banking system. In the United States, stocks continued to rise, but at a more moderate pace. Investors grew more cautious given uncertainty as to how long the central bank would continue its stimulus programs. How government spending cuts would impact the already slow economic recovery was another concern. But improving labor market data and rising home prices boosted sentiment in March, pushing major US stock indices to all-time highs. Investors scaled back their enthusiasm in April due to a series of disappointing economic reports. On the whole, US stocks have performed well thus far in 2013 as the US economy demonstrated enough resilience to allay fears of recession, but growth has remained slow enough to dissuade the US Federal Reserve from changing its stance.

Despite continued headwinds for global growth, risk assets have rallied, driven largely by investors seeking meaningful yields in the ongoing low-interest-rate environment. For the 6- and 12-month periods ended April 30, 2013, US and international stocks and high yield bonds posted strong gains. Emerging market equities lagged the rally as the uneven pace of global growth raised doubts that developing economies could thrive in the near term. US Treasury yields were highly volatile over the past 12 months, although they continue to remain low from a historical perspective. US Treasury and investment-grade bonds generated modest returns in this environment, while tax-exempt municipal bonds benefited from favorable supply-and-demand dynamics. Near-zero short term interest rates continued to keep yields on money market securities near their all-time lows.

Market conditions have improved over the past couple of years, but investors still remain highly uncertain and many of the old ways of investing no longer work. That’s why the new world of investing calls for a new approach. One that seeks out more opportunities in more places across a broader array of investments in a portfolio designed to move freely as the markets move up and down.

Municipal Market Overview     

 

For the Reporting Period Ended April 30, 2013      

Municipal Bonds Performed Well

Market conditions remained favorable even though supply picked up considerably in the past year. Total new issuance for the 12 months ended April 30, 2013 was $383 billion as compared to $337 billion in the prior 12-month period. However, it is important to note that a significant portion (roughly 60%) of the new supply during the most recent 12-month period was attributable to refinancing activity as issuers took advantage of lower interest rates to reduce their borrowing costs. More recently, municipal issuers have favored the taxable market, where issuance is up 139% year-over-year.

Increased supply was met with strong demand during the period as investors were starved for yield in the low-rate, low-return environment. Investors poured into municipal bond mutual funds, favoring long-duration and high-yield funds as they tend to provide higher levels of income. For the 12 months ended April 30, 2013, municipal bond fund inflows exceeded $39.7 billion (according to the Investment Company Institute).

A Closer Look at Yields

LOGO

From April 30, 2012 to April 30, 2013, muni yields declined by 41 basis points (“bps”) from 3.25% to 2.84% on AAA-rated 30-year municipal bonds, while falling 18 bps from 1.87% to 1.69% on 10-year bonds and dropping a modest 8 bps from 0.82% to 0.74% on 5-year issues (as measured by Thomson Municipal Market Data). (Bond prices rise as yields fall.) Overall, the municipal yield curve remained relatively steep, but flattened considerably over the 12-month period as the spread between 2- and 30-year maturities tightened by 39 bps and the spread between 2- and 10-year maturities tightened by 16 bps.

During the same time period, US Treasury rates fell by 23 bps on 30-year and 25 bps on 10-year bonds, while moving down 13 bps on 5-year issues. Accordingly, tax-exempt municipal bonds moderately underperformed Treasuries in the 5- and 10-year space, but significantly outperformed Treasury bonds on the long end of the curve. This outperformance was driven largely by a supply/demand imbalance within the municipal market while evidence of a recovering domestic economy coupled with the removal of certain political and tax policy uncertainties pushed interest rates higher. Additionally, as higher US tax rates began to appear imminent late in 2012, municipal bonds benefited from the increased appeal of tax-exempt investing. The municipal market has become an attractive avenue for investors seeking yield in the low-rate, low-return environment as the asset class is known for its lower volatility and preservation of principal with an emphasis on income as tax rates rise.

Financial Conditions of Municipal Issuers Continue to Improve

Austerity and de-leveraging have been the general themes across the country as states seek to balance their budgets, although a small number of states continue to rely on a “kick-the-can” approach to close their budget gaps. Broadly speaking, state governments have demonstrated better fiscal health as their revenues have steadily improved in recent years while they cut more than 700,000 jobs. Many local municipalities, however, continue to face increased health care and pension costs passed down from the state level. BlackRock maintains the view that municipal bond defaults will be minimal and remain in the periphery, and that the overall market is fundamentally sound. We continue to recognize that careful credit research, appropriate structure and security selection remain imperative amid uncertainty in this fragile economic environment.

The Benefits and Risks of Leveraging     

 

The Funds may utilize leverage to seek to enhance the yield and net asset value (“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”) (collectively, “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 Fund’s shareholders will benefit from the incremental net income.

The interest earned on securities purchased with the proceeds from leverage is paid to shareholders in the form of dividends, and the value of these portfolio holdings is reflected in the per share NAV. However, in order to benefit shareholders, the yield curve must be positively sloped; that is, short-term interest rates must be lower than long-term interest rates. If the yield curve becomes negatively sloped, meaning short-term interest rates exceed long-term interest rates, income to shareholders will be lower than if the Funds had not used leverage.

To illustrate these concepts, assume a Fund’s 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 Fund’s long-term investments, and therefore the holders of Common Shares (“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 Fund’s 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 discussed above.

The Funds may also leverage their assets through the use of tender option bond trusts (“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 Fund’s 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 Fund’s 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 Fund’s 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 Fund’s 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, while each Fund with VRDP Shares or VMTP Shares outstanding limits its economic leverage to 45% of its total managed assets. As of April 30, 2013, the Funds had economic leverage from Preferred Shares and/or TOBs as a percentage of their total managed assets as follows:

Derivative Financial Instruments     

 

The Funds may invest in various derivative financial instruments, including financial futures contracts and options, 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 advisor’s 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.

Fund Summary as of April 30, 2013    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 Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. or BBB or lower by Standard & Poor’s 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 Fund’s investment objective will be achieved.

 

Performance      
Ÿ  

For the 12-month period ended April 30, 2013, the Fund returned 12.22% based on market price and 12.70% based on NAV. For the same period, the closed-end Lipper High Yield Municipal Debt Funds category posted an average return of 10.40% based on market price and 12.70% based on NAV. All returns reflect reinvestment of dividends. The Fund’s 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.

 

Ÿ  

The Fund’s holdings of lower-quality investment grade, non-investment grade and non-rated bonds had a positive impact on performance as these segments benefited from the ongoing contraction in credit spreads. The Fund’s use of leverage enhanced results in the municipal market rally. A preference for securities with longer maturities proved beneficial as the yield curve flattened during the period (long-term rates fell more than short- and intermediate-term rates). Also contributing positively were the Fund’s concentrations in the strong-performing transportation, health and corporate sectors.

 

Ÿ  

The Fund’s below-average distribution yield represented an opportunity cost versus its more highly leveraged Lipper category peers. Additionally, the Fund held low exposure to the tobacco sector, which was the strongest-performing sector for the period. A greater commitment to this sector would have benefited the Fund’s performance.

Fund Summary as of April 30, 2013    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 Fund’s investment objective will be achieved.

 

Performance      
Ÿ  

For the 12-month period ended April 30, 2013, the Fund returned 14.69% based on market price and 10.16% based on NAV. For the same period, the closed-end Lipper General & Insured Municipal Debt Funds (Leveraged) category posted an average return of 8.05% based on market price and 10.61% 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.

 

Ÿ  

The Fund benefited from the accrual of income generated from coupon payments on its fully invested portfolio of tax-exempt municipal bonds. The Fund’s positive performance was also driven by the flattening of the municipal yield curve during the period (long-term municipal rates fell more than short- and intermediate-term rates) as well as the overall decline in tax-exempt interest rates (bond prices rise when interest rates fall) and the tightening of municipal credit spreads. Exposure to zero-coupon municipal bonds boosted results as these types of bonds perform particularly well amid declining interest rates and tightening spreads.

The views expressed reflect the opinions of BlackRock as of the date of this report and are subject to change based on changes in market, economic or other conditions. These views are not intended to be a forecast of future events and are no guarantee of future results.

Fund Summary as of April 30, 2013    BlackRock MuniHoldings Fund, Inc.

 

Fund Overview      

BlackRock MuniHoldings Fund, Inc.’s (MHD) (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 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 Fund’s investment objective will be achieved.

 

Performance      
Ÿ  

For the 12-month period ended April 30, 2013, the Fund returned 8.21% based on market price and 12.20% based on NAV. For the same period, the closed-end Lipper General & Insured Municipal Debt Funds (Leveraged) category posted an average return of 8.05% based on market price and 10.61% based on NAV. All returns reflect reinvestment of dividends. The Fund’s premium 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.

 

Ÿ  

During the period, the Fund benefited from its overall long duration bias (greater sensitivity to interest rates) and preference for longer-dated bonds as interest rates declined (bond prices rise when interest rates fall) and the yield curve flattened (long-term rates fell more than short- and intermediate-term rates). The Fund’s allocations to lower-quality investment grade, non-investment grade and non-rated bonds had a positive impact as these segments benefited from the ongoing contraction in credit spreads. Also contributing positively to results were the Fund’s concentrations in the strong-performing health, transportation and corporate sectors. Finally, the Fund’s holdings generated an above-average distribution yield, which in the aggregate, had a meaningful impact on returns.

 

Ÿ  

Conversely, the Fund held low exposure to the tobacco sector, which was the strongest-performing sector for the period. A greater commitment to this segment would have benefited the Fund’s performance.

Fund Summary as of April 30, 2013    BlackRock MuniHoldings Quality Fund, Inc.

 

Fund Overview      

BlackRock MuniHoldings Quality Fund, Inc.’s (MUS) (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 primarily in long-term, investment grade municipal obligations 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 80% of its assets in investment grade municipal obligations with remaining maturities of one year or more 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 Fund’s investment objective will be achieved.

 

Performance      
Ÿ  

For the 12-month period ended April 30, 2013, the Fund returned 8.90% based on market price and 11.06% based on NAV. For the same period, the closed-end Lipper General & Insured Municipal Debt Funds (Leveraged) category posted an average return of 8.05% based on market price and 10.61% based on NAV. All returns reflect reinvestment of dividends. The Fund’s 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.

 

Ÿ  

The Fund’s longer-dated holdings contributed positively to performance as the municipal yield curve flattened (i.e., longer-term interest rates fell more than shorter rates) and bond prices moved higher on the long end of the curve. The Fund’s holdings in the health, education and transportation sectors enhanced results. Particularly strong returns came from the Fund’s lower-quality holdings in those sectors, which benefited from strong demand as investors sought higher-yielding assets in the low interest rate environment.

 

Ÿ  

The Fund’s lack of zero-coupon holdings was a disadvantage as zeros were the strongest-performing coupon segment during the period.

Fund Summary as of April 30, 2013    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 Fund’s investment objective will be achieved.

 

Performance      
Ÿ  

For the 12-month period ended April 30, 3013, the Fund returned 4.09% based on market price and 8.78% based on NAV. For the same period, the closed-end Lipper Intermediate Municipal Debt Funds category posted an average return of 3.82% based on market price and 7.33% based on NAV. All returns reflect reinvestment of dividends. The Fund moved from a premium to NAV to a discount 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.

 

Ÿ  

The Fund benefited from its overall long duration bias (greater sensitivity to interest rates) and positioning in longer-dated maturities within the Fund’s intermediate duration mandate, with its heaviest concentrations in the 10- and 7-year duration buckets. These factors accounted for the majority of the Fund’s positive return as the municipal market rallied over the period and the yield curve flattened (long-term rates fell more than short and intermediate rates). Also contributing positively to results were the Fund’s large allocations to the strong—performing corporate and health sectors, as well as its heavy exposures to California, Florida and Illinois credits, which were among the top-performing states. Additionally, the tightening of credit spreads during the period bode particularly well for the Fund as it maintained a preference for lower-quality investment grade holdings.

 

Ÿ  

Although the Fund held only a small allocation to Puerto Rico and pre-refunded credits, these exposures represent an opportunity cost as these issues underperformed the broader market and the Fund would have been better served with the assets deployed elsewhere. Conversely, the Fund held low exposure to the tobacco sector, which was the strongest-performing sector for the period. A greater commitment to that sector would have benefited the Fund’s performance.

Fund Summary as of April 30, 2013    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 Fund’s investment objective will be achieved.

 

Performance      
Ÿ  

For the 12-month period ended April 30, 2013, the Fund returned 10.28% based on market price and 11.95% based on NAV. For the same period, the closed-end Lipper General & Insured Municipal Debt Funds (Leveraged) category posted an average return of 8.05% based on market price and 10.61% based on NAV. All returns reflect reinvestment of dividends. The Fund’s premium 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.

 

Ÿ  

During the period, the Fund benefited from its overall long duration bias (greater sensitivity to interest rates) and preference for longer-dated bonds as interest rates declined (bond prices rise when interest rates fall) and the yield curve flattened (long-term rates fell more than short- and intermediate-term rates). The Fund’s allocations to lower-quality investment grade, non-investment grade and non-rated bonds had a positive impact as these segments benefited from the ongoing contraction in credit spreads. Also contributing positively to results were the Fund’s concentrations in the strong-performing health, transportation and corporate sectors. Finally, the Fund’s holdings generated an above-average distribution yield, which in the aggregate, had a meaningful impact on returns.

 

Ÿ  

Conversely, the Fund held low exposure to the tobacco sector, which was the strongest-performing sector for the period. A greater commitment to this segment would have benefited the Fund’s performance.

Fair Value Measurements — Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments. These inputs to valuation techniques are categorized into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three broad levels for financial statement purposes as follows:

 

Ÿ  

Level 1 — unadjusted price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical assets and liabilities that the Fund has the ability to access

 

Ÿ  

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)

 

Ÿ  

Level 3 — unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the Fund’s own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments)

The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3. The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls in its entirety is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers into or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. In accordance with the Fund’s policy, transfers between different levels of the fair value disclosure hierarchy are deemed to have occurred as of the beginning of the reporting period. 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 Fund’s policy regarding valuation of investments and derivative financial instruments and other significant accounting policies, please refer to the Note 1 of the Notes to Financial Statements.
