into

an

interest

rate

swap

contract

(and

beginning

on

the

effective

date

for

a

forward

interest

rate

swap

contract),

the

Fund

accrues

the

fixed

rate

payment

expected

to

be

paid

or

received

and

the

variable

rate

payment

expected

to

be

received

or

paid

on

the

interest

rate

swap

contracts

on

a

daily

basis,

and

recognizes

the

daily

change

in

the

fair

value

of

the

Fund’s

contractual

rights

and

obligations

under

the

contracts.

The

amount

of

the

payment

obligation

for

an

interest

rate

swap

is

based

on

the

notional

amount

and

the

termination

date

of

the

contract.

Interest

rate

swap

contracts

do

not

involve

the

delivery

of

securities

or

other

underlying

assets

or

principal.

Accordingly,

the

risk

of

loss

on

such

transactions

is

limited

to

the

net

amount

of

interest

payments

that

the

Fund

is

to

receive

from

the

counterparty.

Payments

paid

(received)

at

the

beginning

of

the

measurement

period

are

reflected

as

swap

premiums

paid

(received)

on

the

Statement

of

Assets

and

Liabilities,

when

applicable.

Interest

rate

swaps

can

be

settled

either

directly

with

the

counterparty

(“OTC”)

or

through

a

central

clearinghouse

(“centrally

cleared”).

For

OTC

swaps,

the

daily

change

in

the

market

value

of

the

swap

contract,

along

with

any

daily

interest

fees

accrued,

are

recognized

as

unrealized

appreciation

(depreciation)

on

interest

rate

swaps

contracts on

the

Statement

of

Assets

and

Liabilities.

Upon

execution

of
