extent of significant Fund risks (including investment, compliance and valuation risks) that potentially could have a materially adverse impact on the business operations, investment performance or reputation of the relevant Fund, but relies upon
the Fund&#146;s management (including the Fund&#146;s portfolio managers) and Chief Compliance Officer, who reports directly to the Board of Trustees, and the Adviser to assist it in identifying and understanding the nature and extent of such risks
and determining whether, and to what extent, such risks may be eliminated or mitigated. In addition to reports and other information received from Fund management and the Adviser regarding the Fund&#146;s investment program and activities, the Board
of Trustees as part of its risk oversight efforts expects to meet at its regular meetings and as needed with the Fund&#146;s Chief Compliance Officer to discuss, among other things, risk issues and issues regarding the policies, procedures and
controls of the Fund. The Board of Trustees may be assisted in performing aspects of its role in risk oversight by the Audit Committee and such other standing or special committees as may be established from time to time by the Board of Trustees.
For example, the Audit Committee of the Board of Trustees will meet regularly with the Funds&#146; independent public accounting firm to review, among other things, reports on the Funds&#146; internal controls for financial reporting. </FONT></P>

is the responsibility of the Adviser to maintain appropriate systems for accounting and internal control, and the independent auditors&#146; responsibility to plan and carry out a proper audit. The independent accountant is ultimately accountable to
