&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Securities are issued in U.S. dollars unless otherwise indicated in the security description.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Non-income producing security.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) All or a portion of this security is on loan for securities lending. The remaining contractual maturity of all of the securities lending transactions is overnight and continuous. The aggregate value of such securities is $17,888,629 and the total value of the collateral held by the Fund, including for securities sold and pending settlement, is $17,761,459. On November 30, 2025, the last business day of the period, there was sufficient collateral based on the end of day market value from the prior business day; however, as a result of market movement from November 29 to November 30, the value of the related securities loaned was above the collateral value received.

**Valuation Inputs**

The Fund is subject to fair value accounting standards that define fair value, establish the framework for measuring fair value and provide a three-level hierarchy for fair valuation based upon the inputs to the valuation as of the measurement date. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Level 1 – Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical investments.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Level 2 – Level 2 inputs are observable inputs, either directly or indirectly. (Quoted prices for similar investments, valuations based on interest rates and yield curves, or valuations derived from observable market data.)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Level 3 – Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs that may reflect the reporting entity's own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the investment.

The inputs or methodologies used for valuing investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those investments.

A summary of the inputs used to value the Fund's investments as of November 30, 2025 is as follows:
