investment

objectives.

The

Fund

may

use

foreign

currency

contracts

to

gain

exposure

to,

or

hedge

against

changes

in

the

value

of

foreign

currencies. The

Fund enters

into

forward

contracts

to

purchase

and

sell

foreign

currencies

at

a

specified

future

date

at

a

fixed

exchange

rate.

Forward

foreign

currency

contracts

are

valued

at

the

forward

rate,

and

are

marked-to-market

daily.

The

change

in

fair

value

is

recorded

by

the

Fund

as

an

unrealized

gain

or

loss.

When

the

contract

is

closed,

the

Fund

records

a

realized

gain

or

loss

equal

to

the

difference

between

the

value

of

the

contract

at

the

time

it

was

opened

and

the

value

at

the

time

it

was

closed.

The

use

of

forward

foreign

currency

contracts

does

not

eliminate

the

fluctuations

in

underlying

prices

of

the

Fund's

portfolio

securities,

but

it

does

establish

a

rate

of

exchange

that

can

be

achieved

in

the

future.

Although

forward

foreign

currency

contracts

limit

the

risk

of

loss

due

to

a

decline

in

the

value

of

the

hedged

currency,

they

also

limit

any

potential

gain

that

might

result

should

the

value

of

the

currency

increase.

In

addition,

the

Fund

could

be

exposed

to

risks

if

the

counterparties

to

the

contracts

are

unable

to

meet

the

terms

of

their

contracts

or

if

the

value

of

the

currency

changes

unfavorably

to

the

U.S.

dollar

or

other

respective

currency.
