          The current net investment income is derived directly from the 
          accounting records which may be different than net investment income 
          for financial statement reporting purposes included in the Fund's 
          shareholder report. This represents a methodology change from prior 
          earnings releases that utilized adjusted net investment income for 
          financial statement reporting purposes. Therefore, prior reported 
          numbers may not be directly comparable to those noted above and 
          going forward.
