Overdistributed amounts may be funded by capital gains on portfolio securities or
through return of shareholder’s capital. Undistributed / (Overdistributed) Net Investment Income (“UNII”) (“ONII”) represents
the balance to date of a fund’s net investment income less its distributions. Includes prior year ONII of ($1,213,911) for the
fiscal year ended 7/31/17 and the UNII of $9,742,839 for the fiscal year ended 7/31/16. |
| (e) |
|
The UNII information provided treats amounts relating to foreign currency
transactions as net realized and unrealized gain (loss). However, these amounts are treated as net investment income (loss) for
federal income tax purposes. In accordance with federal income tax treatment, the UNII balances would have been $0 ($0.00 per
share), $0 ($0.00 per share), and $1,858,382 ($0.05 per share), as of the current quarter, prior quarter, and year ago quarter,
respectively. While not required to do so, the Fund may attempt to hedge its foreign currency exposure, which may offset all or
a portion of the foreign currency exposure included in the table above. As of the date of this press release, the Fund believes
that it has significantly hedged its foreign currency exposure. |
