1According to the proxy statement filed with the

Commission by applicant in connection with the

reorganization, the board of trustees considered that

combining applicant with the Acquiring Fund

could produce economies of scale which may be

reflected in reduced costs per share. In addition, the

board of trustees concluded that the reorganization

would allow applicant’s shareholders to become

affiliated with a fund with similar investment

objectives and greater net assets.

It is therefore ordered, pursuant to

Section 19(b)(2) of the Act,25 that the

proposed rule change (SR–NYSE–95–

01), including Amendments Nos. 1 and

2, is approved.

For the Commission, by the Division of

Market Regulation, pursuant to delegated

authority.26
