Notes to Financial Statements.” Zero Coupon/Pay-in-KindSecurities.The Trust may invest in securities not producing immediate cash income, including zero coupon securities or pay-in-kindsecurities, when their effective yield over comparable instruments producing cash income makes these investments attractive. Zero coupon securities are debt securities that do not entitle the holder to any periodic payment of interest prior to maturity or a specified date when the securities begin paying current interest. Pay-in-kindsecurities are debt securities that pay interest through the issuance of additional securities. Temporary Defensive Strategy.When market conditions dictate a more defensive investment strategy, the Trust may, on a temporary basis, hold cash or invest a portion or all of its assets in high-quality, short-term municipal securities. If such municipal securities are not available or, in the judgment of the Adviser, do not afford sufficient protection against adverse market conditions, the Trust may invest in taxable instruments. Such taxable securities may include securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government, its agencies or instrumentalities, other investment grade quality fixed income securities, prime commercial paper, certificates of deposit, bankers’ acceptances and other obligations of domestic banks, repurchase agreements and money market funds (including money market funds affiliated with the Adviser). In taking a defensive position, the Trust would temporarily not be pursuing its principal investment strategies and may not achieve its investment objective.

The risks associated with an investment in the Trust can increase during times of significant market volatility. The principal risks of investing in the Trust are: Market Risk.The market values of the Trust’s investments, and therefore the value of the Trust’s shares, will go up and down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. Market risk may affect a single issuer, industry or section of the economy, or it may affect the market as a whole. The value of the Trust’s investments may go up or down due to general market conditions that are not specifically related to the particular issuer, such as real or perceived adverse economic conditions, changes in the general outlook for revenues or corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates, regional or global instability, or adverse investor sentiment generally. The value of the Trust’s investments may also go up or down due to factors that affect an individual issuer or a particular industry or sector, such as changes in production costs and competitive conditions within an industry. In addition, natural or environmental disasters, widespread disease or other public health issues, war, military conflict, acts of terrorism
