reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements
for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles.&#160;&#160; A company&#8217;s internal control over financial reporting includes
those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records
that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and
dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance
that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial
statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and
that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance
with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide
reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized
acquisition, use or disposition of a company&#8217;s assets that could have a
material effect on the financial statements.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify;"><font face="Times New Roman" lang=EN-US style="font-size:11.0pt;">Because of inherent limitations,
internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect
misstatements.&#160;&#160; Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future
periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of
changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or
procedures may deteriorate.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify;"><font face="Times New Roman" lang=EN-US style="font-size:11.0pt;">A deficiency in internal control
over financial reporting exists when the design or operation of a control does
not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their
assigned functions, to prevent or detect misstatements on a timely basis.&#160;&#160; A
material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal
control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility
that a material misstatement of the company&#8217;s annual or interim financial
statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.</font></p>

internal control over financial reporting was for the limited purpose described
in the first paragraph and would not necessarily disclose all deficiencies in internal
control that might be material weaknesses under standards established by the
Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).&#160;&#160; However, we noted
no deficiencies in the Fund&#8217;s internal control over financial reporting and its
operation, including controls for safeguarding securities, which we consider to
be material weaknesses, as defined above, as of December 31, 2021.</font></p>
