(the "Fund")<font style="DISPLAY: inline; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman">,</font> as of and for the year ended December 31, 2014, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), we considered the Fund&#8217;s internal control over financial reporting, including control activities over safeguarding securities, as a basis for designing our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the financial statements and to comply with the requirements of Form N-SAR, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund&#8217;s internal control over financial reporting.&#160;&#160;Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund's internal control over financial reporting.</font></div>

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></div>
