Part X:Description of Uncertain Tax Positions Under FIN 48:Part X: Commencing for fiscal year 2010, the Fund adopted "Accounting for Uncertainties in Income Taxes" as prescribed by the Accounting Standards Codification, which provides guidance for financial statement recognition and measurement of uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return for open tax years (generally a period of three years from the later of each return's due date or the date filed) that remain subject to examination by the Fund's major tax jurisdictions. Adoption had no effect on the Fund's financial statements.
