 judgment to make a fair and equitable allocation, which may include, among other things, consideration of allocating to underperforming accounts or accounts where smaller lot sizes would be reasonable. To the extent permitted by law and in accordance with procedures established by the Board, the Fund may engage in brokerage transactions with brokers that are affiliates of the Adviser. The Fund has adopted procedures which are reasonably designed to provide that commissions or other remuneration paid to affiliated brokers of the Adviser do not exceed the usual and customary broker’s commission. The following table sets forth the aggregate brokerage commissions paid on transactions in the Fund’s securities and the amounts of brokerage commission paid to broker-dealers for research services by the Fund for the last three fiscal years. The amount of brokerage commissions paid by the Fund may change from year to year because of, among other things, changes in asset levels, stockholder activity, and/or changes in portfolio turnover.

Portfolio Turnover Rate The Fund’s portfolio turnover rate may vary from year to year. Because it is difficult to predict accurately portfolio turnover rates, actual turnover may be higher or lower. A high portfolio turnover rate increases a fund’s transaction costs (including brokerage commissions and dealer costs), which would adversely impact a fund’s performance. Higher portfolio turnover may result in the realization of more short-term capital gains than if a fund had lower portfolio turnover. -44-
