deemed

comparable

to

and

with

a

similar

expense

structure

to

the

Fund

selected

by

Broadridge

(Expense

Group).

Broadridge

fee

and

expense

data

is

based

upon

information

taken

from

each

fund’s

most

recent

annual

or

semi-annual

report,

which

reflects

historical

asset

levels

that

may

be

quite

different

from

those

currently

existing,

particularly

in

a

period

of

market

volatility.

While

recognizing

such

inherent

limitation

and

the

fact

that

expense

ratios

and

### Management
Rates

generally

increase

as

assets

decline

and

decrease

as

assets

grow,

the

Board

believed

the

independent

### analysis
conducted

by

Broadridge

to

be

an

appropriate

measure

of

comparative

fees

and

expenses.

The

charges

(as

applicable)

and

for

comparative

consistency,

was

shown

for

the

Fund

and

for

each

other

fund

the

Expense

Group.

The

Board

received

a

description

of

the

methodology

used

by

Broadridge

to

select

the

mutual

funds

included

in

the

Expense

Group.

The

Expense

Group

for

the

Fund

included

the

Fund

and

three

other

leveraged

emerging

markets

hard

currency

debt

closed-end

funds.

The

Board

noted

that

the

### Management
Rate

was

below

the

median

of

its

Expense

Group,

and

the

actual

total

expense

ratio

for

the

Fund

was

above

the

median

of

its

Expense

Group.

The

Board

also

noted

the

small

size

of

the

Fund’s

Expense

Group

(only

four

funds)

for

both

the

and

the

actual
