house gases” such as carbon dioxide, a by-product of burning fossil fuels, and methane, the major constituent of natural gas, which many scientists and policymakers believe contribute to global climate change. These measures, if adopted, could result in increased costs to certain companies in which the Fund invests to operate and maintain natural resources facilities and administer and manage a greenhouse gas emissions program.

In the wake of a Supreme Court decision holding that the EPA has some legal authority to deal with climate change under the Clean Air Act, the federal government announced on May 14, 2007 that the EPA and the Departments of Transportation, Energy, and Agriculture would jointly write regulations to cut gasoline use and control greenhouse gas emissions from cars and trucks. These measures if adopted could reduce demand for energy or raise prices, which may adversely affect the total return of certain of the Fund’s investments.

Environmental Risk. There is an inherent risk that midstream energy companies may incur environmental costs and liabilities due to the nature of their businesses and the substances they handle. For example, an accidental release from wells or gathering pipelines could subject them to substantial liabilities for environmental cleanup and restoration costs, claims made by neighboring landowners and other third parties for personal injury and property damage, and fines or penalties for related violations of environmental laws or regulations. Moreover, the possibility exists that stricter laws, regulations or enforcement policies could significantly increase the compliance costs of midstream energy companies, and the cost of any remediation that may become necessary. Midstream energy companies may not be able to recover these costs from insurance.

The types of regulations described above can change over time in both scope and intensity, may have adverse effects on midstream energy companies and may be implemented in unforeseen manners on an “emergency” basis in response to catastrophes or other events.

Affiliated Party Risk. Certain midstream energy companies are dependent on their parents or sponsors for a majority of their revenues. Any failure by a midstream energy company’s parents or sponsors to satisfy their payments or obligations would impact the midstream energy company’s revenues and cash flows and ability to
