Notes to Schedule of Investments:
     
*   Portfolio securities and other financial instruments for which market quotations are readily available are stated at market value. Market value is generally determined on the basis of last reported sales prices, or if no sales are reported, on the basis of quotes obtained from a quotation reporting system, established market makers, or independent pricing services.
 
    Portfolio securities and other financial instruments for which market quotations are not readily available, or for which a development/event occurs that may significantly impact the value of a security, are fair-valued, in good faith, pursuant to procedures established by the Board of Trustees, or persons acting at their discretion pursuant to procedures established by the Board of Trustees. The Fund’s investments are valued daily using prices supplied by an independent pricing service or dealer quotations, or by using the last sale price on the exchange that is the primary market for such securities, or the mean between the last quoted bid and ask price. Independent pricing services use information provided by market makers or estimates of market values obtained from yield data relating to investments or securities with similar characteristics. Securities purchased on a when-issued basis are marked to market daily until settlement at the forward settlement date. Short term securities maturing in 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, if their original term to maturity was 60 days or less, or by amortizing their value on the 61st day prior to maturity, if the original term to maturity exceeded 60 days.
 
    The prices used by the Fund to value securities may differ from the value that would be realized if the securities were sold and these differences could be material. The Fund’s net asset value is normally determined as of the close of regular trading (normally, 4:00 p.m. Eastern time) on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) on each day the NYSE is open for business.
 
(a)   Private Placement—Restricted as to resale and may not have a readily available market. Securities with an aggregate value of $8,213,261, representing 2.1% of total investments.
 
(b)   144A—Exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933. These securities may be resold in transactions exempt from registration, typically only to qualified institutional buyers. Unless otherwise indicated, these securities are not considered to be illiquid.
 
(c)   When-issued. To be settled after January 31, 2011.
 
(d)   Inverse Floater—The interest rate shown bears an inverse relationship to the interest rate on another security or the value of an index. The interest rate disclosed reflects the rate in effect on January 31, 2011.
 
(e)   Variable Rate Notes—Instruments whose interest rates change on specified date (such as a coupon date or interest payment date) and/or whose interest rates vary with changes in a designated base rate (such as the prime interest rate). The interest rate disclosed reflects the rate in effect on January 31, 2011.
 
(f)   Residual Interest Bonds held in Trust—Securities represent underlying bonds transferred to a separate securitization trust established in a tender option bond transaction in which the Fund acquired the residual interest certificates. These securities serve as collateral in a financing transaction.
 
(g)   Step Bond—Coupon is a fixed rate for an initial period then resets at a specific date and rate.
 
(h)   At January 31, 2011, the cost basis of investments for federal income tax purposes was $370,185,170. Aggregate gross unrealized appreciation for securities in which there was an excess value over tax cost was $4,570,859; aggregate gross unrealized depreciation for securities in which there was an excess of tax cost over value was $25,743,224; and net unrealized depreciation for federal income tax purposes was $21,172,365. The difference between book and tax cost was attributable to inverse floater transactions.

Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e. the “exit price”) in an orderly transaction between market participants. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
    Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical investments that the Fund has the ability to access
 
    Level 2 — valuations based on other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.) or quotes from inactive exchanges
 
    Level 3 — valuations based on significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
An investment asset’s or liability’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level input, individually or in the aggregate, that is significant to fair value measurement. The objective of fair value measurement remains the same even when there is a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for an asset or liability and regardless of the valuation technique used.
The valuation techniques used by the Fund to measure fair value during the nine months ended January 31, 2011 maximized the use of observable inputs and minimized the use of unobservable inputs.
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. The following are certain inputs and techniques that the Funds generally use to evaluate how to classify each major category of assets and liabilities in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.
Municipal Bonds and Variable Rate Notes — Municipal bonds and variable rate notes are valued by independent pricing services based on pricing models that take into account, among other factors, information received from market makers and broker-dealers, current trades, bid-want lists, offerings, market movements, the callability of the bond, state of issuance, benchmark yield curves, and bond insurance. To the extent that these inputs are observable, the values of municipal bonds and variable rate notes are categorized as Level 2. To the extent that these inputs are unobservable the values are categorized as Level 3.
Interest Rate Swaps — Interest rate swaps are valued by independent pricing services using pricing models that are based on real-time intraday snapshots of relevant interest rate curves that are built using the most actively traded securities for a given maturity. The pricing models also incorporate cash and money market rates. In addition, market data pertaining to interest rate swaps is monitored regularly to ensure that interest rates are properly depicting the current market rate. To the extent that these inputs are observable, the values of interest rate swaps are categorized as Level 2. To the extent that these inputs are unobservable the values are categorized as Level 3.
The Fund’s policy is to recognize transfers between levels at the end of the reporting period.
A summary of the inputs used at January 31, 2011 in valuing the Fund’s assets and liabilities is listed below:
                                 
            Level 2 -   Level 3 -    
            Other Significant   Significant    
    Level 1 -   Observable   Unobservable   Value at
