in NAV including distributions paid and assuming reinvestment of
these distributions for the period November

While the NAV performance may be indicative of the Fund's
investment performance, it does not measure the value of a
shareholder's investment in the Fund. The value of a
shareholder's investment in the Fund is determined by the Fund's
market price, which is based on the supply and demand for the
Fund's shares in the open market. Shareholders should not draw
any conclusions about the Fund's investment performance from the
amount of this distribution or from the terms of the Fund's Managed
Distribution Plan.
Furthermore, the Board of Trustees reviews the amount of any
potential distribution and the income, capital gain or capital
available. The Board of Trustees will continue to monitor the
Fund's distribution level, taking into consideration the Fund's net
asset value and the financial market environment. The Fund's
distribution policy is subject to modification by the Board of
Trustees at any time. The distribution rate should not be
considered the dividend yield or total return on an investment in
the Fund.
