accounts and the total assets in the accounts with respect to which the
advisory fee is based on the performance of the account; and
    d. A description of any material conflicts of interest that may
arise in connection with the Portfolio Manager's management of the
Registrant's investments, on the one hand, and the investments of the
other accounts included in response to Item 21.1.b, on the other. This
description would include, for example, material conflicts between the
investment strategy of the Registrant and the investment strategy of
other accounts managed by the Portfolio Manager and material conflicts
in allocation of investment opportunities between the Registrant and
other accounts managed by the Portfolio Manager.
    Instructions.
    1. Provide the information required by Item 21.1 as of the end of
the Registrant's most recently completed fiscal year, except that, in
the case of an initial registration statement or an update to the
Registrant's registration statement that discloses a new Portfolio
Manager, information with respect to any newly identified Portfolio
Manager must be provided as of the most recent practicable date.
Disclose the date as of which the information is provided.
    2. If a committee, team, or other group of persons that includes
the Portfolio Manager is jointly and primarily responsible for the day-

determine, the compensation of each Portfolio Manager required to be
identified in response to Item 9.1.c. For each type of compensation
(e.g., salary, bonus, deferred compensation, retirement plans and
arrangements), describe with specificity the criteria on which that
type of compensation is based, for example, whether compensation is
fixed, whether (and, if so, how) compensation is based on the
Registrant's pre- or after-tax performance over a certain time period,
and whether (and, if so, how) compensation is based on the value of
assets held in the Registrant's portfolio. For example, if compensation
is based solely or in part on performance, identify any benchmark used
to measure performance and state the length of the period over which
performance is measured.
    Instructions.

to determine, any compensation received by the Portfolio Manager from
the Registrant, the Registrant's investment adviser, or any other
source with respect to management of the Registrant and any other

clearly disclose any differences between the method used to determine
the Portfolio Manager's compensation with respect to the Registrant and
other accounts, e.g., if the Portfolio Manager receives part of an
advisory fee that is based on performance with respect to some accounts
but not the Registrant, this must be disclosed.
    3. Ownership of Securities. For each Portfolio Manager required to
be identified in response to Item 9.1.c, state the dollar range of
equity securities in the Registrant beneficially owned by the Portfolio
Manager using the following ranges: none; $1-$10,000; $10,001-$50,000;

    2. a. State the total dollar amount, if any, of brokerage
commissions paid by the Registrant during the three most recent fiscal
years to any broker that: (1) Is an affiliated person of the
Registrant; (2) is an affiliated person of an affiliated person of the
Registrant; or (3) has an affiliated person that is an affiliated
person of the Registrant, its investment adviser, or principal

whether or not the Registrant intends to use any brokers described in
this subparagraph, a. Identify each broker, and state the relationships
that cause the broker to be identified in this Item.
    b. State for each broker identified in response to paragraph 2.a of

research services is a factor considered in the selection of brokers,
specify the products and services.
    2. If the receipt of research services is a factor in selecting
brokers, identify the nature of the research services.
    3. State whether persons acting on behalf of the Registrant are
authorized to pay a broker a commission in excess of that which another
broker might have charged for effecting the same transaction because of
the value of brokerage or research services provided by the broker.
    4. If applicable, explain that research services furnished by
brokers through whom the Registrant effects securities transactions may
be used by the Registrant's investment adviser in servicing all of its
accounts and that not all the services may be used by the investment
adviser in connection with the Registrant; or, if other policies or
practices are applicable to the Registrant with respect to the
allocation of research services provided by brokers, concisely explain
the policies and practices.
    5. Registrants should refer to Rule 17e-1 under the Investment
Company Act [17 CFR 270.17e-1] with respect to securities transactions
executed by exchange members.
    4. If during the last fiscal year the Registrant or its investment

fifteen percent of its gross revenues from the business of a broker, a
dealer, an underwriter, or an investment adviser.

Item 23. Tax Status

    Provide information about the Registrant's tax status that is not
required to be in the prospectus but that the Registrant believes is of
interest to investors, including, but not limited to, an explanation of
the legal basis for the Registrant's tax status. If the Registrant is
qualified or intends to qualify under Subchapter M of the Internal
Revenue Code and has not disclosed that fact in the prospectus, then
disclosure of that fact will be sufficient. If not otherwise disclosed,
concisely describe any special or unusual tax aspects of the
Registrant, e.g., taxes resulting from foreign investment or from
status as a personal holding company, or any tax loss carry-forward to
which the Registrant may be entitled.

Item 24. Financial Statements

    Provide the financial statements of the Registrant.
    Instructions.

    1. a. Furnish, in a separate section following the responses to the
above items in Part B of the registration statement, the financial
statements and schedules required by Regulation S-X [17 CFR 210]. (See
Section 210.3-18 and Sections 210.6-01 through 210.6-10 of Regulation
S-X.)
    b. A business development company that has had at least one fiscal
year of operations need provide financial statements under Item 8.6.c
of Part A only. A business development company with less than one
fiscal year of operations should refer to Item 8.6.c of Part A and
Instructions 1 and 2 thereunder in responding to this Item 24.
    2. Notwithstanding the requirements of Instruction 1 above, the
following statements and schedules required by Regulation S-X may be
omitted from Part B and included in Part C of the registration
statement:
    a. The statement of any subsidiary that is not a majority-owned
subsidiary; and
    b. Columns C and D of Schedule III [17 CFR 210.12-14].
    3. In addition to the requirements of Rule 3-18 of Regulation S-X
[17 CFR 210.3-18], any company registered under the Investment Company
Act that has not previously had an effective registration statement
under the Securities Act shall include in its initial registration
statement under the Securities Act such additional financial statements
and financial highlights (which need not be audited) as are necessary
to make the financial statements and financial highlights included in
the registration statement as of a date within 90 days prior to the
date of filing.
    4. Every annual report to shareholders required by Section 30(e) of
the Investment Company Act and Rule 30e-1 thereunder shall contain the
following information:
    a. The audited financial statements required by Regulation S-X for
the periods specified by Regulation S-X, modified to permit the
omission of the statements and schedules that may be omitted from Part
B of the registration statement by Instruction 2 above and as permitted
by Instruction 7 below;
    b. the financial highlights required by Item 4.1 of this Form, for
the five most recent fiscal years, with at least the most recent year

    c. unless shown elsewhere in the report as part of the financial
statements required by a above, the aggregate remuneration paid by the
company during the period covered by the report (1) to all directors
and to all members of any advisory board for regular compensation; (2)
to each director and to each member of an advisory board for special
compensation; (3) to all officers; and (4) to each person of whom any
officer or director of the company is an affiliated person;
    d. the information concerning changes in and disagreements with
accountants and on accounting and financial disclosure required by Item
304 of Regulation S-K [17 CFR 229.304];
    e. the management information required by paragraph 1 of Item 18;
and
    f. a statement that the SAI includes additional information about
directors of the Registrant and is available, without charge, upon
request, and a toll-free (or collect) telephone number and email
address, if any, for shareholders to use to request the SAI.
    g. Management's Discussion of Fund Performance. Disclose the
following information:
    (1) Discuss the factors that materially affected the Fund's
performance during the most recently completed fiscal year, including
the relevant market conditions and the investment strategies and
techniques used by the Fund. The information presented may include
tables, charts, and other graphical depictions.
    (2) (A) Provide a line graph comparing the initial and subsequent
account values at the end of each of the most recently completed 10
fiscal years of the Fund (or for the life of the Fund, if shorter), but
only for periods subsequent to the effective date of the Fund's
registration statement. Assume a $10,000 initial investment at the
beginning of the first fiscal year in an appropriate broad-based
securities market index for the same period.
    1. Line Graph Computation.
    (a) Assume that the initial investment was made at the offering
price last calculated on the business day before the first day of the
first fiscal year.
    (b) Base subsequent account values on the market price (or, if
shares are not listed, the net asset value) of the Fund on the last
business day of the first and each subsequent fiscal year.
    (c) Calculate the final account value by assuming the account was
closed and sale was at the market price (or, if shares are not listed,
the net asset value) on the last business day of the most recent fiscal
year.
    (d) Base the line graph on the Fund's required minimum initial
investment if that amount exceeds $10,000.
    2. Multiple Class Funds. The Fund can select which Class to
include, consistent with the requirements of Instruction 3(a) to Item
4(b)(2) of Form N-1A [17 CFR 274.11A].
    (B) In a table placed within or next to the graph, provide the
Fund's average annual total returns for the 1-, 5-, and 10- year
periods as of the end of the last day of the most recent fiscal year
(or for the life of the Fund, if shorter), but only for periods
subsequent to the effective date of the Fund's registration statement.
Average annual total returns should be computed in accordance with Item
26(b)(1) of Form N-1A, except with respect to reinvestments of
dividends and distributions, which must be calculated consistent with
Item 4 of this Form. Include a statement accompanying the graph and
table to the effect that past performance does not predict future
performance and that the graph and table do not reflect the deduction
of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the sale
of fund shares.
    (C) Sales Load. Reflect any sales load (or any other fees charged
at the time of purchasing shares or opening an account) by beginning
the line graph at the amount that actually would be invested (i.e.,
assume that the maximum sales load, and other charges deducted from
payments, is deducted from the initial $10,000 investment). For a Fund
whose shares are subject to a contingent deferred sales load, assume
the deduction of the maximum deferred sales load (or other charges)
that would apply for a complete sale that received the market price
(or, if shares are not listed, the net asset value) on the last
business day of the most recent fiscal year. For any other deferred
sales load, repurchase fee, or withdrawal charge, assume that the
deduction is in the amount(s) and at the time(s) that the sales load,
repurchase fee, or withdrawal charge actually would have been deducted.
    (D) Dividends and Distributions. Assume reinvestment of all of the
Fund's dividends and distributions on the reinvestment dates during the
period, and reflect any sales load imposed upon reinvestment of
dividends or distributions or both.
    (E) Account Fees. Reflect recurring fees that are charged to all
accounts.
    1. For any account fees that vary with the size of the account,
assume a $10,000 account size.
    2. Reflect, as appropriate, any recurring fees charged to
shareholder accounts that are paid other than by sale of the Fund's
shares.
    3. Reflect an annual account fee that applies to more than one Fund
by allocating the fee in the following manner: Divide the total amount
of account fees collected during the year by the Funds' total average
market price, multiply the resulting percentage by the

average account value for each Fund and reduce the value of each
hypothetical account at the end of each fiscal year during which the
fee was charged.
    (F) Appropriate Index. For purposes of this Item, an ``appropriate
broad-based securities market index'' is one that is administered by an
organization that is not an affiliated person of the Fund, its
investment adviser, or principal underwriter, unless the index is
widely recognized and used. Adjust the index to reflect the
reinvestment of dividends on securities in the index, but do not
reflect the expenses of the Fund.
    (G) Additional Indexes. A Fund is encouraged to compare its
performance not only to the required broad-based index, but also to
other more narrowly based indexes that reflect the market sectors in
which the Fund invests. A Fund also may compare its performance to an
additional broad-based index, or to a non-securities index (e.g., the
Consumer Price Index), so long as the comparison is not misleading.
    (H) Change in Index. If the Fund uses an index that is different
from the one used for the immediately preceding fiscal year, explain
the reason(s) for the change and compare the Fund's annual change in
the value of an investment in the hypothetical account with the new and
former indexes.
    (I) Other Periods. The line graph may cover earlier fiscal years
and may compare the ending values of interim periods (e.g., monthly or
quarterly ending values), so long as those periods are after the
effective date of the Fund's registration statement.
    (J) Scale. The axis of the graph measuring dollar amounts may use
either a linear or a logarithmic scale.
    (K) New Funds. A New Fund is not required to include the
information specified by this Item in its prospectus (or annual
report), unless Form N-2 (or the annual report) contains audited
financial statements covering a period of at least 6 months.
    (L) Change in Investment Adviser. If the Fund has not had the same
investment adviser for the previous 10 fiscal years, the Fund may begin
the line graph on the date that the current adviser began to provide
advisory services to the Fund so long as:
    1. Neither the current adviser nor any affiliate is or has been in
``control'' of the previous adviser under Section 2(a)(9) of the
Investment Company Act;
    2. The current adviser employs no officer(s) of the previous
adviser or employees of the previous adviser who were responsible for
providing investment advisory or portfolio management services to the
Fund; and
    3. The graph is accompanied by a statement explaining that previous
periods during which the Fund was advised by another investment adviser
are not shown.
    (3) Discuss the effect of any policy or practice of maintaining a
specified level of distributions to shareholders on the Fund's
investment strategies and per share net asset value during the last
fiscal year. Also discuss the extent to which the Fund's distribution
policy resulted in distributions of capital.
    h. If the Registrant has filed a registration statement pursuant to
General Instruction A.2:
    (1) Senior Securities. Include the information required by Item
4.3.
    (2) Fee and Expense Table. Include the information required by Item
3.1.
    (3) Share Price Data. Include the information required by Item 8.5.
    (4) Unresolved Staff Comments. If the Registrant has received
written comments from the Commission staff regarding its periodic or
current reports under the Exchange Act or Investment Company Act or its
registration statement not less than 180 days before the end of its
fiscal period to which the annual report relates, and such comments
remain unresolved, disclose the substance of any such unresolved
comments that the Registrant believes are material. Such disclosure may
provide other information including the position of the Registrant with
respect to any such comment.
    5. Every report to shareholders required by Section 30(e) of the
Investment Company Act and Rule 30e-1 thereunder, except the annual
report, shall contain the following information (which need not be
audited):
    a. The financial statements required by Regulation S-X for the
period commencing either with (1) the beginning of the company's fiscal
year (or date of organization, if newly organized); or (2) a date not
later than the date after the close of the period included in the last
report conforming with the requirements of Rule 30e-1 and the most
recent preceding fiscal year, modified to permit the omission of the
statements and schedules that may be omitted from Part B of the
registration statement by Instruction 2 above and as permitted by
Instruction 7 below;
    b. the financial highlights required by Item 4.1 of this Form, for
the period of the report as specified by subparagraph a of this
instruction, and the most recent preceding fiscal year;
    c. unless shown elsewhere in the report as part of the financial
statements required by subparagraph a of this instruction, the
aggregate remuneration paid by the company during the period covered by
the report (1) to all directors and to all members of any advisory
board for regular compensation; (2) to each director and to each member
of an advisory board for special compensation; (3) to all officers; and
(4) to each person of whom an officer or director of the company is an
affiliated person; and
    d. the information concerning changes in and disagreements with
accountants and on accounting and financial disclosure required by Item
304 of Regulation S-K.
    6. Every annual and semi-annual report to shareholders required by
Section 30(e) of the Investment Company Act and Rule 30e-1 thereunder
shall contain the following information:
    a. One or more tables, charts, or graphs depicting the portfolio
holdings of the Registrant by reasonably identifiable categories (e.g.,
type of security, industry sector, geographic region, credit quality,
or maturity) showing the percentage of net asset value or total
investments attributable to each. The categories and the basis of
presentation (e.g., net asset value or total investments) should be
selected, and the presentation should be formatted, in a manner
reasonably designed to depict clearly the types of investments made by
the Fund, given its investment objectives. If the Fund depicts
portfolio holdings according to credit quality, it should include a
description of how the credit quality of the holdings were determined,
and if credit ratings, as defined in Section 3(a)(60) of the Exchange
Act, assigned by a credit rating agency, as defined in Section 3(a)(61)
of the Exchange Act, are used, explain how they were identified and
selected. This description should be included near, or as part of, the
graphical representation.
    b. Statement Regarding Availability of Quarterly Portfolio
Schedule. A statement that: (i) The Registrant files its complete
schedule of portfolio holdings with the SEC for the first and third
quarters of each fiscal year as an exhibit to its reports on Form N-
PORT [17 CFR 274.150]; (ii) the Registrant's Form N-PORT reports are
available on the Commission's website at http://www.sec.gov; (iii) if
the Registrant makes the information on Form N-PORT available to
shareholders on its website or upon request, a description of how the
information may be obtained from the Registrant.
    c. A statement that a description of the policies and procedures
that the Registrant uses to determine how to vote proxies relating to
portfolio securities is

available (1) without charge, upon request, by calling a specified
toll-free (or collect) telephone number or sending an email to a
specified email address, if any; (2) on the Registrant's website, if
applicable; and (3) on the Commission's website at http://www.sec.gov;
and
    d. A statement that information regarding how the Registrant voted
proxies relating to portfolio securities during the most recent 12-
month period ended June 30 is available (1) without charge, upon
request, by calling a specified toll-free (or collect) telephone
number; sending an email to a specified email address, if any; or on or
through the Registrant's website at a specified internet address; and
(2) on the Commission's website at http://www.sec.gov.
    e. If the Registrant's board of directors approved any investment
advisory contract during the Registrant's most recent fiscal half-year,
discuss in reasonable detail the material factors and the conclusions
with respect thereto that formed the basis for the board's approval.
Include the following in the discussion:
    (1) Factors relating to both the board's selection of the
investment adviser and approval of the advisory fee and any other
amounts to be paid by the Registrant under the contract. This would
include, but not be limited to, a discussion of the nature, extent, and
quality of the services to be provided by the investment adviser; the
investment performance of the Registrant and the investment adviser;
the costs of the services to be provided and profits to be realized by
the investment adviser and its affiliates from the relationship with
the Registrant; the extent to which economies of scale would be
realized as the Registrant grows; and whether fee levels reflect these
economies of scale for the benefit of the Registrant's investors. Also
indicate in the discussion whether the board relied upon comparisons of
the services to be rendered and the amounts to be paid under the
contract with those under other investment advisory contracts, such as
contracts of the same and other investment advisers with other
registered investment companies or other types of clients (e.g.,
pension funds and other institutional investors). If the board relied
upon such comparisons, describe the comparisons that were relied on and
how they assisted the board in concluding that the contract should be
approved; and
    (2) If applicable, any benefits derived or to be derived by the
investment adviser from the relationship with the Registrant such as
soft dollar arrangements by which brokers provide research to the
Registrant or its investment adviser in return for allocating the
Registrant's brokerage.
    f. Board approvals covered by Instruction 6.e to this Item include
both approvals of new investment advisory contracts and approvals of
contract renewals. Investment advisory contracts covered by Instruction
6.e include subadvisory contracts. Conclusory statements or a list of
factors will not be considered sufficient disclosure under Instruction
6.e. Relate the factors to the specific circumstances of the Registrant
and the investment advisory contract and state how the board evaluated
each factor. For example, it is not sufficient to state that the board
considered the amount of the investment advisory fee without stating
what the board concluded about the amount of the fee and how that
affected its decision to approve the contract. If any factor enumerated
in Instruction 6.e.(1) to this Item is not relevant to the board's
evaluation of an investment advisory contract, note this and explain
the reasons why the factor is not relevant.
    g. Include on the front cover page or at the beginning of the
annual or semi-annual report a statement to the following effect, if
applicable:
    Beginning on [date], as permitted by regulations adopted by the
Securities and Exchange Commission, paper copies of the Registrant's
shareholder reports like this one will no longer be sent by mail,
unless you specifically request paper copies of the reports from the
Registrant [or from your financial intermediary, such as a broker-
dealer or bank]. Instead, the reports will be made available on a
website, and you will be notified by mail each time a report is posted
and provided with a website link to access the report.
    If you already elected to receive shareholder reports
electronically, you will not be affected by this change and you need
not take any action. You may elect to receive shareholder reports and
other communications from the Registrant [or your financial
intermediary] electronically by [insert instructions].
    You may elect to receive all future reports in paper free of
charge. You can inform the Registrant [or your financial intermediary]
that you wish to continue receiving paper copies of your shareholder
reports by [insert instructions]. Your election to receive reports in
paper will apply to all funds held with [the fund complex/your
financial intermediary].
    7. Schedule IX--Summary schedule of investments in securities of
unaffiliated issuers [17 CFR 210.12-12C] may be included in the
financial statements required under Instructions 4.a and 5.a of this
Item in lieu of Schedule I--Investments in securities of unaffiliated
issuers [17 CFR 210.12-12] if:
    a. The Registrant states in the report that the Registrant's
complete schedule of investments in securities of unaffiliated issuers
is available (i) without charge, upon request, by calling a specified
toll-free (or collect) telephone number or sending an email to a
specified email address, if any; (ii) on the Registrant's website, if
applicable; and (iii) on the Commission's website at http://www.sec.gov; and
    b. whenever the Registrant (or financial intermediary through which
shares of the Registrant may be purchased or sold) receives a request
for the Registrant's schedule of investments in securities of
unaffiliated issuers, the Registrant (or financial intermediary) sends
a copy of Schedule I--Investments in securities of unaffiliated issuers
within 3 business days of receipt by first-class mail or other means
designed to ensure equally prompt delivery.
    8. a. When a Registrant (or financial intermediary through which
shares of the Registrant may be purchased or sold) receives a request
for a description of the policies and procedures that the Registrant
uses to determine how to vote proxies, the Registrant (or financial
intermediary) must send the information most recently disclosed in
response to Item 18.16 of this Form or Item 7 of Form N-CSR within 3
business days of receipt of the request, by first-class mail or other
means designed to ensure equally prompt delivery.
    b. If a Registrant discloses that the Registrant's proxy voting
record is available by calling a toll-free (or collect) telephone
number or sending an email to a specified email address, if any, and
the Registrant (or financial intermediary through which shares of the
Registrant may be purchased or sold) receives a request for this
information, the Registrant (or financial intermediary) must send the
information disclosed in the Registrant's most recently filed report on
Form N-PX, within 3 business days of receipt of the request, by first-
class mail or other means designed to ensure equally prompt delivery.
    c. If a Registrant discloses that the Registrant's proxy voting
record is available on or through its website, the Registrant must make
available free of charge the information disclosed in the Registrant's
most recently filed report

    r. Copies of any codes of ethics adopted under Rule 17j-1 under the

Market Fund).
    Instructions.
    1. Subject to the rules on incorporation by reference and
Instruction 2 below, the foregoing exhibits shall be filed as a part of
the registration statement. Exhibits required by paragraphs 2.h, 2.l,
2.n, and 2.o above need to be filed only as part of a Securities Act
registration statement. Exhibits shall be appropriately lettered or
numbered for convenient reference. Exhibits incorporated by reference
may bear the designation given in a previous filing. Where exhibits are
incorporated by reference, the reference shall be made in the list of
exhibits. The reference shall include the form, file number and date of
the previous filing, and the exhibit number (i.e., exhibit 2.a, 2.b,
etc.) under which the exhibit was previously filed.
    2. A Registrant need not file an exhibit as part of a post-
effective amendment, if the exhibit has been filed in the Registrant's
initial registration statement or in a previous post-effective
amendment, unless there has been a change in the exhibit, or unless the
exhibit is a copy of a consent required by Section 7 of the Securities
Act or is a financial statement omitted from Items 8.6 or 24. The
reference to this exhibit shall include the number of the previous
filing (e.g., pre-effective amendment No. 1) where such exhibit was
filed.
    3. If an exhibit to a registration statement (other than an opinion
or consent), filed in preliminary form, has been changed (1) only to
insert information as to interest, dividend or conversion rates,
redemption or conversion prices, purchase or offering prices,
underwriters' or dealers' commissions, names, addresses or
participation of underwriters or similar matters, which information
appears elsewhere in an amendment to the registration statement or a
prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act or
(2) to correct typographical errors, insert signatures or

make other similar immaterial changes, then, notwithstanding any
contrary requirement of any rule or form, the Registrant need not
refile the exhibit as so amended. Any incomplete exhibit may not,
however, be incorporated by reference into any subsequent filing under
any Act administered by the Commission. If an exhibit required to be
executed (e.g., an underwriting agreement) is filed in final form, a
copy of an executed copy shall be filed.
    4. Schedules (or similar attachments) to the exhibits required by
this Item are not required to be filed provided that they do not
contain information material to an investment or voting decision and
that information is not otherwise disclosed in the exhibit or the
disclosure document. Each exhibit filed must contain a list briefly
identifying the contents of all omitted schedules. Registrants need not
prepare a separate list of omitted information if such information is
already included within the exhibit in a manner that conveys the
subject matter of the omitted schedules and attachments. In addition,
the registrant must provide a copy of any omitted schedule to the
Commission or its staff upon request.
    5. The registrant may redact information from exhibits required to
be filed by this Item if disclosure of such information would
constitute a clearly unwarranted invasion of personal privacy (e.g.,
disclosure of bank account numbers, social security numbers, home
addresses and similar information).
    6. The registrant may redact provisions or terms of exhibits
required to be filed by paragraph k. of this Item if those provisions
or terms are both (1) not material and (2) would likely cause
competitive harm to the registrant if publicly disclosed. If it does
so, the registrant should mark the exhibit index to indicate that
portions of the exhibit or exhibits have been omitted and include a
prominent statement on the first page of the redacted exhibit that
certain identified information has been excluded from the exhibit
because it is both (1) not material and (2) would likely cause
competitive harm to the registrant if publicly disclosed. The
registrant also must indicate by brackets where the information is
omitted from the filed version of the exhibit.
    If requested by the Commission or its staff, the registrant must
promptly provide an unredacted copy of the exhibit on a supplemental
basis. The Commission staff also may request the registrant to provide
its materiality and competitive harm analyses on a supplemental basis.
Upon evaluation of the registrant's supplemental materials, the
Commission or its staff may request the registrant to amend its filing
to include in the exhibit any previously redacted information that is
not adequately supported by the registrant's materiality and
competitive harm analyses. The registrant may request confidential
treatment of the supplemental material pursuant to Rule 83 [17 CFR
200.83] while it is in the possession of the Commission or its staff.
After completing its review of the supplemental information, the
Commission or its staff will return or destroy it at the request of the
registrant, if the registrant complies with the procedures outlined in
Rule 418 [17 CFR 230.418].
    7. Each exhibit identified in the exhibit index (other than an
exhibit filed in eXtensible Business Reporting Language) must include
an active link to an exhibit that is filed with the registration
statement or, if the exhibit is incorporated by reference, an active
hyperlink to the exhibit separately filed on EDGAR. If the registration
statement is amended, each amendment must include active hyperlinks to
the exhibits required with the amendment.

Item 26. Marketing Arrangements

    Briefly describe any arrangements known to the Registrant or to any
person named in response to Item 5, or to any person specified in Item
19.2, made for any of the following purposes:
    1. to limit or restrict the sale of other securities of the same
class as those to be offered for the period of distribution;
    2. to stabilize the market for any of the securities to be offered;
or
    3. to hold each underwriter or dealer responsible for the
distribution of his or her participation.
    Instruction. If the answer to this Item is contained in an exhibit,
the Item may be answered by cross-reference to the relevant
paragraph(s) of the exhibit.

Item 27. Other Expenses of Issuance and Distribution

    Furnish a reasonably itemized statement of all expenses in
connection with the issuance and distribution of the securities being
registered, other than underwriting discounts and commissions. If any
of the securities being registered are to be offered for the account of
securityholders, indicate the portion of expenses to be borne by
securityholders.
    Instruction. Insofar as practicable, separately itemize
registration fees, federal taxes, state taxes and fees, trustees' and
transfer agents' fees, costs of printing and engraving, rating agency
fees, and legal and accounting fees. The information may be given
subject to future contingencies. Provide estimates if the amounts of
any items are not known.

Item 28. Persons Controlled by or Under Common Control

    Furnish a list or diagram of all persons directly or indirectly
controlled by, or under common control with, the Registrant, and as to
each of these persons indicate (1) if a company, the state or other
jurisdiction under whose laws it is organized, and (2) the percentage
of voting securities owned or other basis of control by the person, if
any, immediately controlling it.
    Instructions.
    1. The list or diagram shall include the Registrant and shall show
clearly the relationship of each company named to the Registrant and to
other companies named. If the company is controlled by the direct
ownership of its securities by two or more persons, so indicate by
appropriate cross-reference.
    2. Identify, by appropriate symbols: (1) Subsidiaries for which
separate financial statements are filed; (2) subsidiaries included in
the respective consolidated financial statements; (3) subsidiaries
included in the respective group financial statements filed for
unconsolidated subsidiaries; and (4) other subsidiaries, indicating
briefly why statements of these subsidiaries are not filed.

Item 29. Number of Holders of Securities

    State in substantially the tabular form indicated, as of a
specified date within 90 days prior to the date of filing, the number
of record holders of each class of securities of the Registrant.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

                     Title of class                       record holders
------------------------------------------------------------------------
(1)....................................................             (2)
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Item 30. Indemnification

    State the general effect of any contract, arrangement, or statute
under which any director, officer, underwriter, or affiliated person of
the Registrant is insured or indemnified in any manner against any
liability that may be incurred in such capacity, other than insurance
provided by any member of the board of directors, officer, underwriter,
or affiliated person for his or her own protection.
    Instruction. In responding to this Item, the Registrant should note
the requirements of Rules 461(c) and 484 under the Securities Act [17
CFR 230.461 and 230.484] and Section 17 of the Investment Company Act.
(See Investment Company Act Rel. No. 11330 (Sept. 4, 1980) [45 FR 62423
(Sept. 19,

1980)] and Investment Company Act Rel. No. 7221 (June 9, 1972) [37 FR
12790 (June 29, 1972)].)

Item 31. Business and Other Connections of Investment Adviser

    Describe briefly any other business, profession, vocation, or
employment of a substantial nature in which each investment adviser of
the Registrant, and each director, executive officer, or partner of any
such investment adviser, is or has been, at any time during the past
two fiscal years, engaged for his or her own account or in the capacity
of director, officer, employee, partner, or trustee.
    Instructions.
    1. State the name and principal business address of any company
with which any person specified above is connected in the capacity of
director, officer, employee, partner, or trustee and the nature of the
connection.
    2. The names of investment advisory clients need not be provided.
    3. For purposes of this Item, the term ``executive officer'' means
the investment adviser's president, any other officer who performs a
policy-making function for the investment adviser in connection with
its management of the closed-end fund, or any other person who performs
a similar policy-making function for the investment adviser. Executive
officers of subsidiaries of the investment adviser may be deemed
executive officers of the investment adviser, if they perform such
policy-making functions for the investment adviser.

Item 32. Location of Accounts and Records

    Furnish the name and address of each person maintaining physical
possession of each account, book, or other document required to be
maintained by Section 31(a) of the Investment Company Act and the rules
thereunder.
    Instruction. The Registrant may omit this information to the extent
it is provided in its most recent report on Form N-CEN [17 CFR
249.330].

Item 33. Management Services

    Furnish a summary of the substantive provisions of any management-
related service contract not discussed in Part A or B of the
registration statement (because the contract was not believed to be of
interest to a purchaser of the Registrant's securities), indicating the
parties to the contract, the total dollars paid, and by whom, for the
last three fiscal years.
    Instructions.
    1. The instructions to Item 20.4 of this Form shall also apply to
this Item.
    2. Information need not be provided for any service for which total
payments of less than $5,000 were made during each of the last three
fiscal years.

Item 34. Undertakings

    Furnish the following undertakings in substantially the following
form in all registration statements filed under the Securities Act, as
applicable:
    1. An undertaking to suspend the offering of shares until the
prospectus is amended if (1) subsequent to the effective date of its
registration statement, the net asset value declines more than ten
percent from its net asset value as of the effective date of the
registration statement or (2) the net asset value increases to an
amount greater than its net proceeds as stated in the prospectus.
    Provided, however, that this paragraph does not apply if the
registration statement is filed pursuant to General Instruction A.2 of
this Form to register an offering in reliance on Rule 415 under the
Securities Act.
    2. An undertaking to file a post-effective amendment with certified
financial statements showing the initial capital received before
accepting subscriptions from more than 25 persons, if the Registrant
proposes to raise its initial capital under Section 14(a)(3) of the
Investment Company Act.
    3. If the securities are being registered in reliance on Rule 415
under the Securities Act, an undertaking:
    a. to file, during any period in which offers or sales are being
made, a post-effective amendment to the registration statement:
    (1) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the
Securities Act;
    (2) to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events after the
effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-
effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate,
represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the
registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or
decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of
securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any
deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering
range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the
Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in
volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum
aggregate offering price set forth in the ``Calculation of Registration
Fee'' table in the effective registration statement.
    (3) to include any material information with respect to the plan of
distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or
any material change to such information in the registration statement.
    Provided, however, that paragraphs a(1), a(2), and a(3) of this
section do not apply if the registration statement is filed pursuant to
General Instruction A.2 of this Form and the information required to be
included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained
in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant
pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are
incorporated by reference into the registration statement, or is
contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is
part of the registration statement.
    b. that, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to
be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered
therein, and the offering of those securities at that time shall be
deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof;
    c. to remove from registration by means of a post-effective
amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at
the termination of the offering;
    d. that, for the purpose of determining liability under the
Securities Act to any purchaser:
    (1) if the Registrant is relying on Rule 430B [17 CFR 230.430B]:
    (A) Each prospectus filed by the Registrant pursuant to Rule
424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as
of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the
registration statement; and
    (B) Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule
424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in
reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule
415(a)(1)(i), (x), or (xi) for the purpose of providing the information
required by Section 10(a) of the Securities Act shall be deemed to be
part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of
the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or
the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering
described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability
purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an
underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of
the registration statement relating to the securities in

the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the
initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no
statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part
of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or
deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or
prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a
purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date,
supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration
statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or
made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date; or
    (2) if the Registrant is subject to Rule 430C [17 CFR 230.430C]:
each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act
as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than
registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses
filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and
included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used
after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a
registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration
statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by
reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of
the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of
contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any
statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus
that was part of the registration statement or made in any such
document immediately prior to such date of first use.
    e. that for the purpose of determining liability of the Registrant
under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution
of securities:
    The undersigned Registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of
securities of the undersigned Registrant pursuant to this registration
statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the
securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to
such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the
undersigned Registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be
considered to offer or sell such securities to the purchaser:
    (1) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned
Registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to
Rule 424 under the Securities Act;
    (2) free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or
on behalf of the undersigned Registrant or used or referred to by the
undersigned Registrants;
    (3) the portion of any other free writing prospectus or
advertisement pursuant to Rule 482 under the Securities Act [17 CFR
230.482] relating to the offering containing material information about
the undersigned Registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf
of the undersigned Registrant; and
    (4) any other communication that is an offer in the offering made
by the undersigned Registrant to the purchaser.
    4. If the Registrant is filing a registration statement permitted
by Rule 430A under the Securities Act, an undertaking that:
    a. for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act, the information omitted from the form of prospectus
filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A
and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the Registrant under
Rule 424(b)(1) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of
this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective;
and
    b. for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of
prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating
to the securities offered therein, and the offering of the securities
at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering
thereof.
    5. Filings Incorporating Subsequent Exchange Act Documents by
Reference. Include the following if the registration statement
incorporates by reference any Exchange Act document filed subsequent to
the effective date of the registration statement:
    The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing
of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section
15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that is incorporated by
reference into the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new
registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and
the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the
initial bona fide offering thereof.
    6. Request for acceleration of effective date or filing of
registration statement becoming effective upon filing. Include the
following if acceleration is requested of the effective date of the
registration statement pursuant to Rule 461 under the Securities Act,
or if a registration statement filed pursuant to General Instruction
A.2 of this Form will become effective upon filing with the Commission
pursuant to Rule 462(e) or (f) under the Securities Act, and:
    a. Any provision or arrangement exists whereby the Registrant may
indemnify a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant
against liabilities arising under the Securities Act, or
    b. The underwriting agreement contains a provision whereby the
Registrant indemnifies the underwriter or controlling persons of the
underwriter against such liabilities and a director, officer or
controlling person of the Registrant is such an underwriter or
controlling person thereof or a member of any firm which is such an
underwriter, and
    c. The benefits of such indemnification are not waived by such
persons:
    Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and
controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing
provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the
opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification
is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore,
unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against
such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses
incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the
Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding)
is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will,
unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by
controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction
the question whether such indemnification by it is against public
policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.
    7. An undertaking to send by first class mail or other means
designed to ensure equally prompt delivery, within two business days of
receipt of a written or oral request, any prospectus or Statement of
Additional Information.

Comment Info: =================

General Comment:Dear Mr. Zeller:
I am writing as an individual consumer to request an extension of the comment period for the Food and Drug Administration's ("FDA") Proposed Rule Deeming Tobacco Products to be Subject to the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, as amended by the Family Smoking and Prevention and Tobacco Control Act (the "Proposed Rule") published at 79 Fed. Reg. 23,142 and Federal Register No. 2014-09491. On behalf of myself, I am requesting that the comment period for the Proposed Rule be extended by the FDA for an additional 105 days, from its current 75-day period, to 180 days.
The Proposed Rule raises a number of significant issues and questions that are important and relevant to me, as a consumer of products that are proposed for regulation under the Proposed Rule. The Proposed Rule asks about a hundred different questions I might want to respond to. I want to provide my thoughts and comments on many of these issues, but my time to devote to researching and providing thoughtful comments on these important questions is limited. I have already spent many hours researching and dissecting these issues, but they take time. I know that the FDA took many years to even come up with the Proposed Rule, so I do not think it is at all unreasonable to allow the public a mere six months to comment on it. This is our only opportunity, as consumers, to provide our feedback.
I feel very strongly about e-cigarettes as an alternative to combustible cigarettes. Quite simply, I firmly believe that they saved my life. I wish to provide you with my personal story, as well as science- and evidence-based responses to your questions so that you can take my comment into account. I realize that the FDA has the authority under 21 CFR 10.40 to extend this time frame and that the FDA has exercised this authority on numerous occasions in the past. I would therefore ask that you do so here, so that all stakeholders have the opportunity to provide their comments on this proposed regulation.
I understand that there is a Real need to Regulate E-Cigarettes, but after Reading the 241 pages I find Little that will Help the Industry Grow. Besides Limiting by age and Childproof bottles I read these "Deeming Regulations" as  nothing more than a Take over by the People who Can afford to Apply for new Products.  I hope that you Do Listen to The Consumers that are effected by these and Not the  Industries that you are already involed with. CASAA speaks for me and SFATA  speaks for the Vendors I spend Money with and Create Jobs that are in Dire need in this Country. Please hear Us when we try to get Reasonable Standards that will Take the Smoking rate down in Large Chunks and Not Nibbles that have been in the Past Generation.
I appreciate your consideration of my request and am happy to discuss this issue with you further.
