The Trust invests primarily in debt securities issued by California municipalities.  The ability of the issuers of the debt securities to meet their obligations may be affected by economic developments in a specific industry or municipality. In order to reduce the risk associated with such economic developments, at August 31, 2008, 46.6% of total investments are backed by bond insurance of various financial institutions and financial guaranty assurance agencies. The aggregate percentage insured by an individual financial institution ranged from 0.5% to 21.3% of total investments.

 

(1)

Security represents the underlying municipal obligation of an inverse floating rate obligation held by the Trust.

(2)

Security exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933. These securities may be sold in transactions exempt from registration, normally to qualified institutional buyers. At August 31, 2008, the aggregate value of these securities is $3,750,436 or 3.8% of the Trust’s net assets applicable to common shares.

(3)

Security has been issued as a leveraged inverse floater bond. The stated interest rate represents the rate in effect at August 31, 2008.

(4)

Security (or a portion thereof) has been segregated to cover margin requirements on open financial futures contracts.

The Trust adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 (FAS 157), “Fair Value Measurements”, effective December 1, 2007. FAS 157 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.

 

·                  Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical investments

·                  Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)

·                  Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including a fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

 

At August 31, 2008, the inputs used in valuing the Trust’s investments, which are carried at value, were as follows:

* Other financial instruments include futures and interest rate swap contracts not reflected in the Portfolio of Investments, which are valued at the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on the instrument.

 

The Trust held no investments or other financial instruments as of May 31, 2008 whose fair value was determined using Level 3 inputs.

 

Municipal bonds and taxable obligations, if any, are generally valued on the basis of valuations furnished by a pricing vendor, as derived from such vendor’s pricing models.  Inputs to the models may include, but are not limited to, reported trades, executable bid and asked prices, broker/dealer quotations, benchmark curves or information pertaining to the issuer.  The pricing vendor may use a matrix approach, which considers information regarding securities with similar characteristics to determine the valuation for a security. Financial futures contracts and options on financial futures contracts listed on commodity exchanges are valued based on the closing price on the primary exchange on which such contracts trade. Interest rate swaps are normally valued using valuations provided by a pricing vendor.  Such vendor valuations are based on the present value of fixed and projected floating rate cash flows over the term of the swap contract.  Future cash flows are discounted to their present value using swap curves provided by electronic data services or by broker/dealers. Short-term obligations, maturing in sixty days or less, are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.
