|
Market value total return is calculated assuming an initial investment made at market value at the beginning of the period, reinvestment of all distributions at net asset value during the period and redemption on the last day of the period at market value.

Distributions to Shareholders. The Fund expects to declare and distribute all its net investment income, if any, to shareholders as dividends monthly. The Fund will distribute net realized capital gains, if any, at least annually. Distributions to shareholders are determined in accordance with income tax regulations and recorded on the ex-dividend date.
|
|
e)
|
Use of Estimates. The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statement and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
|
|
f)
|
Security Transactions and Income.Security transactions are recorded on trade date. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis and includes, where applicable, the amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Net realized gains and losses from sales of securities are determined using the specific identification method.
