A summary of financial instruments outstanding at February 28, 2009 is as follows:

 

Futures Contracts

Interest Rate Swaps

 

 

The effective date represents the date on which the Trust and the counterparty to the interest rate swap contract begin interest payment accruals.

 

At February 28, 2009, the Trust had sufficient cash and/or securities to cover commitments under these contracts.

 

The Trust is subject to interest rate risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. Because the Trust holds fixed-rate bonds, the value of these bonds may decrease if interest rates rise. To hedge against this risk, the Trust may enter into interest rate swap contracts. The Trust may also purchase and sell U.S. Treasury futures contracts to hedge against changes in interest rates.

 

At February 28, 2009, the aggregate fair value of derivative instruments in an asset position and in a liability position and whose primary underlying risk exposure is interest rate risk was $314,355 and $202,521, respectively.

 

The cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments of the Trust at February 28, 2009, as determined on a federal income tax basis, were as follows:

 

Aggregate cost		$	57,094,048
Gross unrealized appreciation		$	733,118
Gross unrealized depreciation			(5,889,661	)
Net unrealized depreciation		$	(5,156,543	)

 

Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 (FAS 157), “Fair Value Measurements”, established a three-tier hierarchy to prioritize the assumptions, referred to as inputs, used in valuation techniques to measure fair value. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized in the three broad levels listed below.

 

 

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

 

At February 28, 2009, the inputs used in valuing the Trust’s investments, which are carried at value, were as follows:

 

				Investments in				Other Financial
		Valuation Inputs		Securities				Instruments*
Level 1		Quoted Prices		$	—			$	314,355
Level 2		Other Significant Observable Inputs			55,972,505				(202,521	)
Level 3		Significant Unobservable Inputs			—				—
Total				$	55,972,505			$	111,834

 

 

The Trust held no investments or other financial instruments as of November 30, 2008 whose fair value was determined using Level 3 inputs.
