for which market quotations are not readily available represent 0.1% of net assets.
These securities have been valued at their fair value under procedures approved
by the Fund’s Board of Directors. These securities are defined as Level 3 securities
due to the use of significant unobservable inputs in the determination of fair value. |

TAX INFORMATION: The cost of total investments for Federal income tax purposes was $387,104,512. At September 30, 2015, net unrealized depreciation for all securities was $11,783,023, consisting of aggregate gross unrealized appreciation of $64,114,285 and aggregate gross unrealized depreciation of $75,897,308. The primary difference between book and tax basis cost is the timing of the recognition of losses on securities sold.

| Valuation
of Investments: |
| --- |
| Investment
transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Securities are valued as of the
close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern
time) on the valuation date. Securities that trade on an exchange, and securities
traded on Nasdaq’s Electronic Bulletin Board, are valued at their last reported
sales price or Nasdaq official closing price taken from the primary market in which
each security trades or, if no sale is reported for such day, at their highest bid
price. Other over-the-counter securities for which market quotations are readily
available are valued at their highest bid price, except in the case of some bonds
and other fixed income securities which may be valued by reference to other securities
with comparable ratings, interest rates and maturities, using established independent
pricing services. The Fund values its non-U.S. dollar denominated securities in
U.S. dollars daily at the prevailing foreign currency exchange rates as quoted by
a major bank. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available are
valued at their fair value in accordance with the provisions of the 1940 Act, under
procedures approved by the Fund’s Board of Directors, and are reported as Level
3 securities. As a general principle, the fair value of a security is the amount
which the Fund might reasonably expect to receive for the security upon its current
sale. However, in light of the judgment involved in fair valuations, there can be
no assurance that a fair value assigned to a particular security will be the amount
which the Fund might be able to receive upon its current sale. In addition, if,
between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary
trading session on the NYSE, events occur that are significant and may make the
closing price unreliable, the Fund may fair value the security. The Fund uses an
independent pricing service to provide fair value estimates for relevant non-U.S.
equity securities on days when the U.S. market volatility exceeds a certain threshold.
This pricing service uses proprietary correlations it has developed between the
movement of prices of non-U.S. equity securities and indices of U.S.- traded securities,
futures contracts and other indications to estimate the fair value of relevant non-U.S.
securities. When fair value pricing is employed, the prices of securities used by
the Fund may differ from quoted or published prices for the same security. Investments
in money market funds are valued at net asset value per share. |
| Various inputs
are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments, as noted above.
These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels below: |

| Level 1 | – | quoted prices
in active markets for identical securities. |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Level 2 | – | other significant
observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, foreign securities
that may be fair valued and repurchase agreements). The table below includes all
Level 2 securities. Level 2 securities with values based on quoted prices for similar
securities are noted in the Schedule of Investments. |
| Level 3 | – | significant
unobservable inputs (including last trade price before trading was suspended, or
at a discount thereto for lack of marketability or otherwise, market price information
regarding other securities, information received from the company and/or published
documents, including SEC filings and financial statements, or other publicly available
information). |

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

| The following
is a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s investments as of September
30, 2015. For a detailed breakout of common stocks by sector classification, please

| Repurchase
Agreements: |
| --- |
| The Fund may
enter into repurchase agreements with institutions that the Fund’s investment
adviser has determined are creditworthy. The Fund restricts repurchase agreements
to maturities of no more than seven days. Securities pledged as collateral for repurchase
agreements, which are held until maturity of the repurchase agreements, are marked-to-market
daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase
agreement (including accrued interest). Repurchase agreements could involve certain
risks in the event of default or insolvency of the counter-party, including possible
delays or restrictions upon the ability of the Fund to dispose of its underlying
securities. |
| Borrowings: |
| The Fund has
entered into a revolving credit agreement (the credit agreement) with BNP Paribas
Prime Brokerage Inc. (BNPP). As of September 30, 2015, the Fund has outstanding
borrowings of $60,000,000. During the period ended September 30, 2015, the Fund borrowed
an average daily balance of $60,000,000. The Fund pays a commitment fee of 0.50%
per annum on the unused portion of the credit agreement. The credit agreement has
a 360-day rolling term that resets daily; however, if the Fund exceeds certain net
asset value triggers, the credit agreement may convert to a 60-day rolling term
that resets daily. The Fund is required to pledge portfolio securities as collateral
in an amount up to two times the loan balance outstanding and has granted a security
interest in the securities pledged to, and in favor of, BNPP as security for the
loan balance outstanding. If the Fund fails to meet certain requirements, or maintain
other financial covenants required under the credit agreement, the Fund may be required
to repay immediately, in part or in full, the loan balance outstanding under the
credit agreement necessitating the sale of portfolio securities at potentially inopportune
times. The credit agreement also permits, subject to certain conditions, BNPP to
rehypothecate portfolio securities pledged by the Fund up to the amount of the loan
balance outstanding. The Fund continues to receive payments in lieu of dividends
and interest on rehypothecated securities. The Fund also has the right under the
credit agreement to recall the rehypothecated securities from BNPP on demand. If
BNPP fails to deliver the recalled security in a timely manner, the Fund is compensated
by BNPP for any fees or losses related to the failed delivery or, in the event a
recalled security is not returned by BNPP, the Fund, upon notice to BNPP, may reduce
the loan balance outstanding by the amount of the recalled security failed to be
returned. The Fund receives a portion of the fees earned by BNPP in connection with
the rehypothecation of portfolio securities. |
