                                      POWER OF ATTORNEY

	Know all by these presents, that the undersigned hereby constitutes and
appoints each of Jennifer Fromm, Ronnie D. Kryjak, Kathryn Santoro and Andra
Purkalitis as her true and lawful attorney-in-fact to:

	(1) execute for and on behalf of the undersigned, in the undersigned's
capacity as an officer and/or director of the registered investment company(ies)
listed on Schedule A hereto (each, a "Fund"), Forms 3, 4, and 5 in accordance
with Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the rules
thereunder, and any other forms or reports the undersigned may be required to
file in connection with the undersigned's ownership, acquisition, or disposition
of securities of the Fund or any other closed-end investment company affiliated
 with or under common control with the Fund;

	(2) do and perform any and all acts for and on behalf of the undersigned
which may be necessary or desirable to complete and execute any such Form 3, 4,
or 5, or other form or report, and timely file such form or report with the
United States Securities and Exchange Commission and any stock exchange or
similar authority; and

	(3) take any other action of any type whatsoever in connection with the
foregoing which, in the opinion of such attorney-in-fact, may be of benefit to,
in the best interest of, or legally required by, the undersigned, without
limitation, the completion and signing of any document, including the Form ID,
that may be required to obtain EDGAR codes or any other required filing codes
on behalf of the undersigned, it being understood that the documents executed
by such attorney-in-fact on behalf of the undersigned pursuant to the Power of
Attorney shall be in such form and shall contain such terms and conditions as
such attorney-in-fact may approve in such attorney-in-fact's discretion.

	The undersigned hereby grants to each such attorney-in-fact full power
and authority to do and perform any and every act and thing whatsoever
requisite, necessary, or proper to be done in the exercise of any of the rights
and powers herein granted, as fully to all intents and purposes as the
undersigned might or could do if personally present, with full power of
substitution or revocation, hereby ratifying and confirming all that such
attorney-in-fact, or such attorney-in-fact's substitute or substitutes, shall
lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue of this power of attorney and the
rights and powers herein granted. The undersigned acknowledges that the
foregoing attorneys-in-fact, in serving in such capacity at the request of the
undersigned, are not assuming, nor is the Fund assuming, any of the
undersigned's responsibilities to comply with Section 16 of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934.

	This Power of Attorney shall remain in full force and effect until the
undersigned is no longer required to file Forms 3, 4, and 5 with respect to the
undersigned's holdings of and transactions in securities issued by the Fund,
unless earlier revoked by the undersigned in a signed writing delivered to the
foregoing attorneys-in-fact.

      IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has caused this Power of Attorney to
