                              File No. 811-05542

  Sub-Item No. 77Q2: Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

   Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act")
requires the Fund's Board Members, executive officers, persons who own more
than ten percent of a registered class of the Fund's common units, the Advisor
and certain officers of the Advisor (the "Section 16 insiders"), including in
some cases former Section 16 insiders for a period of up to 6 months, to file
reports on holdings of, and transactions in, Fund common units with the
Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and to furnish the Funds with copies
of all such reports.

   Based solely on a review of copies of such reports furnished to the Fund
during the Fund's most recent fiscal year and representations from these
Section 16 insiders with respect to the Fund's most recent fiscal year, the
Fund believes that its Section 16 insiders met all such applicable SEC filing
requirements for the Fund's most recently concluded fiscal year, except that
two Form 4 filings filed on behalf of Messrs. Matthew Kraeger and Ron Sion on
February 2, 2017 incorrectly reflected the number of securities beneficially
owned by each reporting person following his acquisition of securities on
January 31, 2017. Each Form 4 was amended on February 16, 2017 to reflect the
correct number of securities beneficially owned by the reporting person
following the reported acquisition of securities on January 31, 2017.
