<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0"><FONT STYLE="color: #231F20">The Fund values its securities
</FONT>at current market value or fair value, consistent with regulatory requirements. &quot;Fair value&quot; is defined in the
Fund's Valuation and Liquidity Procedures as the price that could be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability
in an orderly transaction between willing market participants without a compulsion to transact at the measurement date.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">Equity securities that are traded on an exchange are valued
at the last quoted sale price on the principal exchange on which the security is traded at the &ldquo;Valuation Time&rdquo; subject
to application, when appropriate, of the valuation factors described in the paragraph below. Under normal circumstances, the Valuation
Time is as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (usually 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time). In the absence of a
sale price, the security is valued at the mean of the bid/ask price quoted at the close on the principal exchange on which the
security is traded. Securities traded on NASDAQ are valued at the NASDAQ official closing price. Closed-end funds and exchange-traded
funds (&quot;ETFs&quot;) are valued at the market price of the security at the Valuation Time. A security using any of these pricing
methodologies is determined to be a Level 1 investment.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">Foreign equity securities that are traded on foreign exchanges
that close prior to the Valuation Time are valued by applying valuation factors to the last sale price or the mean price as noted
above. Valuation factors are provided by an independent pricing service provider. These valuation factors are used when pricing
the Fund's portfolio holdings to estimate market movements between the time foreign markets close and the time the Fund values
such foreign securities. These valuation factors are based on inputs such as depositary receipts, indices, futures, sector indices/ETFs,
exchange rates, and local exchange opening and closing prices of each security. When prices with the application of valuation factors
are utilized, the value assigned to the foreign securities may not be the same as quoted or published prices of the securities
on their primary markets. A security that applies a valuation factor is determined to be a Level 2 investment because the exchange-traded
price has been adjusted. Valuation factors are not utilized if the independent pricing service provider is unable to provide a
valuation factor or if the valuation factor falls below a predetermined threshold; in such case, the security is determined to
be a Level 1 investment.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">Short-term investments are comprised of cash and cash equivalents
invested in short-term investment funds which are redeemable daily. The Fund sweeps available cash into the State Street Institutional
U.S. Government Money Market Fund, which has elected to qualify as a &ldquo;government money market fund&rdquo; pursuant to Rule
2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, and has an objective to maintain a $1.00 per share net asset value. Generally, these
investment types are categorized as Level 1 investments.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">In the event that a security&rsquo;s market quotations are
not readily available or are deemed unreliable (for reasons other than because the foreign exchange on which it trades closes
before the Valuation Time), the security is valued at fair value as determined by the Fund's Pricing Committee, taking into account
the relevant factors and surrounding circumstances using valuation policies and procedures approved by the Fund's Board of Directors.
A security that has been fair valued by the Fund's Pricing Committee may be classified as Level 2 or Level 3 depending on the
nature of the inputs.</P>
