Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm



To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of
Virtus Global Multi-Sector Income Fund:


In planning and performing our audit of the financial
statements of Virtus Global Multi-Sector Income Fund, hereafter
referred to as ("the Fund") as of and for the period ended
November 30, 2016, in accordance with the standards of the
Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), we
considered the Fund's internal control over financial
reporting, including controls 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's internal control over financial reporting.  Accordingly,
we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund's
internal control over financial reporting.

The management of the Fund is responsible for establishing and
maintaining effective internal control over financial
reporting.  In fulfilling this responsibility, estimates and
judgments by management are required to assess the expected
benefits and related costs of controls.  A fund's internal
control over financial reporting is a process designed to
provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of
financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements
for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles.  A fund'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 fund; (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 fund are being made only in accordance with
authorizations of management and trustees of the fund; and (3)
provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely
detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of a
fund's assets that could have a material effect on the
financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over
financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.
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.

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.  A material weakness is a deficiency, or a
combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial
reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a
material misstatement of the Fund's annual or interim financial
statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

Our consideration of the Fund's 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 over financial reporting that might be
material weaknesses under standards established by the Public
Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  However,
we noted no deficiencies in the Fund's internal control over
financial reporting and its operation, including controls over
safeguarding securities, that we consider to be material
weaknesses as defined above as of November 30, 2016.

This report is intended solely for the information and use of
management and the Board of Trustees of Virtus Global Multi-
Sector Income Fund and the Securities and Exchange Commission
and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone
other than these specified parties.

a Delaware Statutory Trust

Amended and restated as of April 7, 2016.
Capitalized terms not specifically defined herein
shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Trust's
Amended and Restated Agreement and Declaration of Trust (the
"Declaration of Trust").

Virtus Global Multi-Sector Income Fund (the "Trust") shall be at
the offices of The Corporation Trust Company in the County of
New Castle, State of Delaware.
      Section 2.	Other Offices.  The Trust may also have offices
at such other places both within and without the State of
Delaware as the Board may from time to time determine or the
business of the Trust may require.
ARTICLE II
THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES
      Section 1.	Meetings of the Board.  The Board may hold
meetings, both regular and special, either within or without the
State of Delaware.  Meetings of the Board and any committee or
sub-committee thereof may be held in person or by telephonic or
other electronic means.
      Section 2.	Regular Meetings.  Regular meetings of the Board
shall be held without call at such time as shall from time to
time be fixed by the Board.  Such regular meetings may be held
without notice.
      Section 3.	Special Meetings. Special meetings of the Board
for any purpose or purposes may be called at any time by the
President or any Vice President or the Secretary or any two (2)
Trustees.  Such special meetings may be held without notice.
      Section 4.	Notice of Meetings.  Notice of the time, date,
and place of all meetings of the Board and any committee or sub-
committee thereof shall be given to each Trustee, committee
member or sub-committee member, as applicable, (i) by telephone,
facsimile, electronic-mail, or other electronic mechanism sent
to his or her home or business address at least twenty-four
hours in advance of the meeting or (ii) in person at another
meeting of the Board of Trustees or such committee or sub-
committee, as applicable, or (iii) by written notice mailed or
sent via overnight courier to his or her home or business
address at least seventy-two hours in advance of the meeting.
Notice need not be given to any Trustee, committee member or
sub-committee member who attends a meeting of the Board or any
committee or sub-committee thereof without objecting to the lack
of notice or who signs a waiver of notice either before or after
such meeting.  The notice need not specify the purpose of the
meeting or the place if the meeting is to be held at the
principal executive office of the Trust.
      Section 5.	Quorum.  At all meetings of the Board and any
committee or sub-committee thereof, one-third of the Trustees
then in office or one-third of the committee members or sub-
committee members (but in no event less than two Trustees,
committee members or sub-committee members), as applicable,
shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business.  The
act of a majority of the Trustees, committee members or sub-
committee members present at any meeting at which there is a
quorum shall be the act of the Board or such committee or sub-
committee, as applicable, except as may be otherwise
specifically provided by applicable law, by the Declaration of
Trust, by these Bylaws, or by a committee's  charter.  If a
quorum shall not be present at any meeting of the Board or any
committee or sub-committee thereof, the Trustees, committee
members or sub-committee members, as applicable, present thereat
may adjourn such meeting from time to time, without notice other
than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum shall be
present.
      Section 6.	Adjournment.  A majority of the Trustees present,
whether or not constituting a quorum, may adjourn any meeting to
another time and place.  Notice of the time and place of holding
an adjourned meeting need not be given unless the meeting is
adjourned for more than forty-eight (48) hours, in which case
notice of the time and place shall be given before the time of
the adjourned meeting to the Trustees who were present at the
time of the adjournment.
      Section 7.	Action Without a Meeting. Unless the 1940 Act
requires that a particular action be taken only at a meeting at
which the Trustees are present in person, any action to be taken
by the Board at a meeting may be taken without such meeting by
the written consent of a majority of the Trustees then in
office.  Any such written consent may be executed and given by
telecopy or similar electronic means.  Such written consents
shall be filed with the minutes of the proceedings of the Board.
If any action is so taken by the Board by the written consent of
less than all of the Trustees, prompt notice of the taking of
such action shall be furnished to each Trustee who did not
execute such written consent, provided that the effectiveness of
such action shall not be impaired by any delay or failure to
furnish such notice.
      Section 8.	Delegation of Power to Other Trustees. Any
Trustee may, by power of attorney, delegate his or her power for
a period not exceeding six (6) months at any one time to any
other Trustee or Trustees; provided that in no case shall fewer
than two (2) Trustees personally exercise the powers granted to
the Board, except as otherwise expressly provided herein or by
resolution of the Board.  Except where applicable law may
require a Trustee to be present in person, a Trustee represented
by another Trustee pursuant to such power of attorney shall be
deemed to be present for purposes of establishing a quorum and
satisfying the required vote of Trustees.
      Section 9.	Committees of Trustees. The Board may by
resolution designate one or more committees, each consisting of
two (2) or more Trustees, to serve at the pleasure of the Board.

members of any committee who may replace any absent member at
any meeting of the committee.  Any committee to the extent
provided in the resolution of the Board shall have the authority
of the Board, except with respect to:
            (a)	the approval of any action which under applicable
law requires approval by a majority of the entire authorized
number of Trustees or certain Trustees;
            (b)	the filling of vacancies of Trustees;
            (c)	the fixing of compensation of the Trustees for
services generally or as a member of any committee;
            (d)	the amendment or termination of the Declaration of
Trust or any Series or Class or amendment of the By-Laws or the
adoption of new By-Laws;
            (e)	the amendment or repeal of any resolution of the
Board which by its express terms is not so amendable or
repealable;
            (f)	a distribution to the Shareholders of the Trust,
except at a rate or in a periodic amount or within a designated
range determined by the Board; or
            (g)	the appointment of any other committees of the Board
or the              members of such new committees.
      Section 10.	Meetings and Action of Committees. Meetings and
action of committees shall be governed by and held and taken in
accordance with the provisions of these By-Laws, with such
changes in the context thereof as are necessary to substitute
the committee and its members for the Board generally, except
that the time of regular meetings of committees may be
determined either by resolution of the Board or by resolution of
the committee. Special meetings of committees may also be called
by resolution of the Board.  Alternate members shall be given
notice of meetings of committees and shall have the right to
attend all meetings of committees.  The Board may adopt rules
for the governance of any committee not inconsistent with the
provisions of these By-Laws.
      Section 11.	Chairman. The Board may elect a Chairman. The
Chairman, if such is elected, shall if present preside at
meetings of the Board and shall, subject to the control of the
Board, have general supervision, direction and control of the
business and the officers of the Trust and exercise and perform
such other powers and duties as may be from time to time
assigned to him by the Board or prescribed by the Declaration of
Trust or these By-Laws. The Chairman, if there be one, shall be
a Trustee and may but need not be a Shareholder.
ARTICLE III

the rights, if any, of an officer under any contract of
employment, any officer may be removed, either with or without

the absence of the Chairman.  He or she shall have the general
powers and duties of management usually vested in the office of
President of a corporation and shall have such other powers and
duties as may be prescribed by the Board, the Declaration of
Trust or these By-Laws.
      Section 7.	Vice Presidents. In the absence or disability of
the President, the Vice Presidents, if any, in order of their

President (who shall be considered first ranked) and such other
Vice Presidents as shall be designated by the Board, shall
perform all the duties of the President and when so acting shall
have all powers of and be subject to all the restrictions upon

other place as the Board may direct a book of minutes of all
meetings and actions of Trustees, committees of Board and
Shareholders with the time and place of holding, whether regular

the names of those present at Board's meetings or committee
meetings, the number of Shares present or represented at

of certificates issued for the same and the number and date of
cancellation of every certificate surrendered for cancellation.
The Secretary shall give or cause to be given notice of all
meetings of the Shareholders and of the Board (or committees
thereof) required to be given by these By-Laws or by applicable
law and shall have such other powers and perform such other
duties as may be prescribed by the Board or by these By-Laws.
      Section 9.	Chief Compliance Officer. The Chief Compliance
Officer shall be elected by a majority of the Trustees,
including a majority of the Trustees who are not interested
persons pursuant to Section 2(a)(19) of the Investment Company
Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act"), and otherwise in accordance with
Rule 38a-1 under the 1940 Act.  The Chief Compliance Officer
shall perform the duties and have the responsibilities outlined
in Rule 38a-1 of the 1940 Act and shall perform such other
duties and have such other responsibilities as from time to time
may be assigned to him by the Board. The Chief Compliance
Officer's compensation shall be determined by the Board. The
Chief Compliance Officer shall report directly to the Board or a
committee of the Board in carrying out his or her functions.

ARTICLE IV
MEETINGS OF SHAREHOLDERS
      Section 1.	Purpose.  All meetings of the Shareholders for
the election of Trustees shall be held at such place as may be
fixed from time to time by the Board, or at such other place
either within or without the State of Delaware as shall be
designated from time to time by the Board and stated in the
notice indicating that a meeting has been called for such
purpose.  Meetings of Shareholders may be held for any purpose
determined by the Board.  At all meetings of the Shareholders,
every Shareholder of record entitled to vote thereat shall be
entitled to vote at such meeting either in person or by written
proxy signed by the Shareholder or by his duly authorized
attorney in fact.  A Shareholder may duly authorize such
attorney in fact through written, electronic, telephonic,
computerized, facsimile, telecommunication, or oral
communication or by any other form of communication.  Unless a
proxy provides otherwise, such proxy is not valid more than
eleven months after its date.  A proxy with respect to shares
held in the name of two or more persons shall be valid if
executed by any one of them unless at or prior to exercise of
the proxy the Trust receives a specific written notice to the
contrary from any one of them.  A proxy purporting to be
executed by or on behalf of a Shareholder shall be deemed valid
unless challenged at or prior to its exercise and the burden of
proving invalidity shall rest on the challenger.
      Section 2.	Nomination of Trustees.
            (a)	Any Shareholder may submit names of individuals to
be considered by the Governance Committee if there shall be such
Committee so designated by the Board, or the Board for election
as trustees of the Trust, as applicable, provided that (i) such
person submits such names in a timely manner as set out in
Section 16 of Article IV hereof, (ii) such person was a
shareholder of record at the time of submission of such names
and is entitled to vote at the meeting, and (iii) the Governance
Committee or the Board, as applicable, shall make the final
determination of persons to be nominated.
            (b)	In addition to the process and procedures for the
nomination of persons for election or appointment as trustees of
the Trust by the Board, as set forth herein, any such nomination
must comply with such additional requirements as may be set
forth in the written Charter for the Governance Committee.
      Section 3.	Election of Trustees.  All meetings of
Shareholders for the purpose of electing Trustees shall be held
on such date and at such time as shall be designated from time
to time by the Board and stated in the notice of the meeting, at
which the Shareholders shall elect the number of Trustees as
provided in the Declaration of Trust and as the notice for such
meeting shall state are to be elected, and transact such other
business as may properly be brought before the meeting in
accordance with Section 1 of this Article IV.
      Section 4.	Notice of Meetings.  Written notice of any
meeting stating (a) the place, date, and hour of the meeting and
(b) the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called,
shall be given to each Shareholder entitled to vote at such
meeting not less than ten days before the date of the meeting in
accordance with Article V hereof.
      Section 5.	Special Meetings.
            (a)	Special meetings of the Shareholders, for any
purpose or purposes, unless otherwise prescribed by applicable
law or by the Declaration of Trust, may be called by the Chair
or by the Board.
            (b)	The Board shall promptly call a meeting of the
Shareholders solely for the purpose of removing one or more
Trustees, when requested in writing to do so by the record
holders of not less than ten percent (10%) of the outstanding
Shares of the Trust, provided that the Shareholders requesting
such meeting shall have paid the Trust the reasonably estimated
cost of preparing and mailing the notice thereof, which an
authorized officer of the Trust shall determine and specify to
such Shareholders.
            (c)	Unless requested by the holders of a majority of all
Shares entitled to be voted at such meeting, no meeting shall be
called upon the request of Shareholders to remove one or more
Trustees if substantially the same matter was voted upon at any
meeting of the Shareholders held during the preceding twelve
(12) months.  For purposes of this Section 5, the election of
Trustees shall be considered "substantially the same matter" as
a proposal to remove one or more Trustees.
      Section 6.	Conduct of Meeting.  Business transacted at any
meeting of Shareholders shall be limited to (a) the purpose
stated in the notice, (b) such other matters as are permitted to
be presented at the meeting in accordance with Section 16 of

      Section 7.	Quorum.  A majority of the Outstanding Shares
entitled to vote at a Shareholders' meeting, which are present
in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at
the Shareholders' meeting, except when a larger quorum is
required by applicable law or the requirements of any securities
exchange on which Shares are listed for trading, in which case
such quorum shall comply with such requirements.
      Section 8.	Organization of Meetings.
            (a)	Meetings of the Shareholders shall be presided over
by the Chair, or if the Chair shall not be present, by any Vice
Chair, or if a Vice Chair shall not be present or if there is no
Vice Chair, by the President, or if the President shall not be
present, by a Vice President, or if no Vice President is
present, by a chair appointed for such purpose by the Board or,
if not so appointed, by a chair appointed for such purpose by
the officers and Trustees present at the meeting.  The Secretary
of the Trust, if present, shall act as Secretary of such
meetings, or if the Secretary is not present, an Assistant
Secretary shall so act, and if no Assistant Secretary is

and if the Secretary has not designated a person, then the
meeting shall elect a secretary for the meeting.
            (b)	The Board shall be entitled to make such rules and
regulations for the conduct of meetings of Shareholders as it
shall deem necessary, appropriate or convenient.  Subject to any
rules and regulations of the Board, the chairman of the meeting
shall have the right and authority to prescribe such rules,
regulations and procedures and to do all such acts as, in the
judgment of such chairman, are necessary, appropriate or
convenient for the proper conduct of the meeting, including,
without limitation, establishing:  an agenda or order of
business for the meeting; rules and procedures for maintaining
order at the meeting and the safety of those present;

or the chairman of the meeting determines that a meeting of
Shareholders shall not be required to be held in accordance with
the rules of parliamentary procedure.
      Section 9.	Voting Standard.  When a quorum is present at any
meeting, a majority of the votes present and cast by the holders
of Shares entitled to vote on a proposal shall decide any such
proposal brought before such meeting, unless a different vote is
required by the express provision of applicable law, the
Declaration of Trust, these Bylaws, or applicable contract, in
which case such express provision shall govern and control the
decision of such question. Where a separate vote by classes is
required, the preceding sentence shall apply to such separate
votes by classes.
      Section 10.	Voting Procedure.  Each Shareholder of record as
of the record date established pursuant to Section 14 of this
Article IV shall be entitled to one vote for each whole Share
and a proportionate fractional vote for each fractional Share
owned of record on the record date by such Shareholder.  On any
matter submitted to a vote of the Shareholders, all Shares shall
be voted together, except when required by applicable law or
when the Board has determined that the matter affects the
interests of one or more classes, in which case only the
Shareholders of such classes shall be entitled to vote thereon.
      Section 11.	Action Without Meeting.  Unless otherwise
provided in the Declaration of Trust or applicable law, any
action required to be taken at any meeting of the Shareholders,
or any action which may be taken at any meeting of the
Shareholders, may be taken without a meeting, without prior
notice and without a vote, if a consent in writing, setting
forth the action so taken, shall be signed by the holders of
Outstanding Shares having not less than the minimum number of
votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action
at a meeting at which all Shares entitled to vote thereon were
present and voted.  Prompt notice of the taking of any such
action without a meeting by less than unanimous written consent
shall be given to those Shareholders who have not consented in
writing.
      Section 12.	Broker Non-Votes.  At any meeting of
Shareholders, the Trust will consider broker non-votes, if any,
as present for purposes of determining whether a quorum is
present at the meeting.  Broker non-votes will not count as
votes cast for or against any proposal.
      Section 13.	Abstentions.  At any meeting of Shareholders, the
Trust will consider abstentions, if any, as present for purposes
of determining whether a quorum is present at the meeting.
Abstentions will not count as votes cast for or against any
proposal.
      Section 14.	Record Date for Shareholder Meetings and
Consents.  In order that the Board may determine the
Shareholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of
Shareholders or any adjournment thereof, or to express consent
to action in writing without a meeting, the Board may fix a
record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon
which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the
Board, and which record date shall not be more than 120 nor less
than ten days before the original date upon which the meeting of
Shareholders is scheduled, nor more than ten days after the date
upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by
the Board for action by Shareholder consent in writing without a
meeting.  A determination of shareholders of record entitled to
notice of or to vote at a meeting of Shareholders shall apply to
any adjournment of the meeting; provided, however, that the
Board may fix a new record date for the adjourned meeting so
long as notice of the adjournment and the new record and meeting
dates are given to the Shareholders.
      Section 15.	Adjournments.
            (a)	If (1) a quorum is not present or represented at any
meeting of the Shareholders convened on the date for which it
was called, or (2) a quorum is present at a meeting of
Shareholders but sufficient votes to approve a proposal have not
been received, then the votes cast by the holders of a majority
of Shares present and entitled to vote at the meeting (even
though not constituting a quorum), or the chair of the meeting
in his or her discretion, shall have power to adjourn the
meeting from time to time without notice other than announcement
at the meeting.  At such adjourned meeting, provided a quorum is
present, any business may be transacted which might have been
transacted at the meeting as originally notified.
            (b)	A meeting of Shareholders may be adjourned from time
to time without further notice to Shareholders to a date not
more than 120 days after the original meeting date.  A meeting
of Shareholders may not be adjourned for more than 120 days
after the original meeting date without giving the Shareholders
notice of the adjournment and the new meeting date.
            (c)	In voting for adjournment, the persons named as
proxies may vote their proxies (including those marked
"withhold," "against" or "abstain") in favor of one or more
adjournments of the meeting, or the chair of the meeting may
call an adjournment, provided such persons determine that such
adjournment is reasonable and in the best interests of
Shareholders and the Trust, based on a consideration of such
factors as they may deem relevant, including (1) the nature of
the proposal, (2) the percentage of votes then cast, (3) the
percentage of "withhold" or "against" votes then cast, and (4)
any other reasons for further soliciting the votes of
Shareholders.
      Section 16.	Advance Notice of Shareholder Nominees for
Trustee and Other Shareholder Proposals.

            (a)	The matters to be considered and brought before any

entitled to vote at meetings of Shareholders through a
nominee or "street name" holder of record and can
demonstrate to the Trust such indirect ownership and such
Nominee Holder's entitlement to vote such securities, and
is a Nominee Holder at both the time of the giving of
notice provided for in this Section and at the time of
the meeting.
            (c)	In addition to any other requirements under
applicable law and the Declaration of Trust and Bylaws of the
Trust, nominations by Shareholders of persons to stand for
election as Trustees of the Trust and any other proposals by
Shareholders shall be properly brought before the meeting only
if notice of any such matter to be presented by a Shareholder at

the day on which public announcement of the Other Annual Meeting
Date is first made.
            (e)	Notwithstanding anything in these Bylaws to the
contrary, in the event that the number of Trustees to be is
increased and either all of the nominees for Trustee or the size
of the increased Board is not publicly announced or disclosed by
the Trust at least seventy (70) days prior to the first

by such increase, if it shall be delivered to the Secretary of
the Trust at the principal executive office of the Trust not
later than the close of business on the tenth (10th) day
following the first date all of such nominees or the size of the
increased Board shall have been publicly announced or disclosed.

ARTICLE V
NOTICES
      Section 1.	Methods of Giving Notice.  Whenever, under the
provisions of applicable law or of the Declaration of Trust or
of these Bylaws, notice is required to be given to any Trustee
or Shareholder, it shall not, unless otherwise provided herein,
be construed to mean personal notice, but such notice may be
given orally in person, or by telephone (promptly confirmed in
writing) or in writing, by mail addressed to such Trustee at his
or her last given address or to such Shareholder at his address
as it appears on the records of the Trust, with postage thereon
prepaid, and such notice shall be deemed to be given at the time
when the same shall be deposited in the United States mail.
Notice to Trustees or members of a committee or sub-committee
may also be given by facsimile, electronic-mail or via overnight
courier.  If sent by telex or facsimile, notice to a Trustee or
member of a committee or sub-committee shall be deemed to be
given upon transmittal; if sent by electronic-mail, notice to a

deemed to be given and shall be presumed valid when the Trust's
electronic-mail server reflects the electronic-mail message as
having been sent; and if sent via overnight courier, notice to a
Trustee or member of a committee or sub-committee shall be
deemed to be given when delivered against a receipt therefor.
      Section 2.	Written Waiver.  Whenever any notice is required
to be given under the provisions of applicable law or of the
Declaration of Trust or of these Bylaws, a waiver thereof in
writing, signed by the person or persons entitled to said

issue a certificate to any Shareholder, signed by, or in the
name of the Trust by, the President or any Vice President,
certifying the number of Shares owned by him, her or it in a
class of the Trust.  Except as otherwise required by applicable
law or the rules of any exchange on which the Trust is listed,
no Shareholder shall have the right to demand or require that a
certificate be issued to him, her or it.
      Section 2.	Countersignature.  Where a certificate is
countersigned (1) by a transfer agent other than the Trust or
its employee, or (2) by a registrar other than the Trust or its
employee, the signature of the President or any Vice President

      Section 3.	Lost Certificates.  The Board may direct a new
certificate or certificates to be issued in place of any
certificate or certificates theretofore issued by the Trust
alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making
of an affidavit of the fact by the person claiming the
certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed.  When authorizing
such issue of a new certificate or certificates, the Board may,
in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance
thereof, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed
certificate or certificates, or his legal representative, to
advertise the same in such manner as it shall require and/or to
give the Trust a bond in such sum as it may direct as indemnity
against any claim that may be made against the Trust with
respect to the certificate alleged to have been lost, stolen or
destroyed.
      Section 4.	Transfer of Shares.  The Board shall make such
rules as it considers appropriate for the transfer of Shares and
similar matters.  To the extent certificates are issued in
accordance with Section 1 of this Article VI, upon surrender to
the Trust or the transfer agent of the Trust of such certificate
for Shares duly endorsed or accompanied by proper evidence of
succession, assignment or authority to transfer, it shall be the
duty of the Trust to issue a new certificate to the person
entitled thereto, cancel the old certificate and record the
transaction upon its books.
      Section 5.	Shareholder Book.  The Trust shall keep or cause
to be kept a Shareholder book, which may be maintained by means
of computer systems, containing the names, alphabetically
arranged, of all persons who are Shareholders of the Trust,
showing their places of residence, the number and class of any
Shares held by them, respectively, and the dates when they
became the record owners thereof.
      Section 6.	Registered Shareholders.  The Trust shall be
entitled to recognize the exclusive right of a person registered
on its books as the owner of Shares to receive dividends, and to
vote as such owner, and shall not be bound to recognize any
equitable or other claim of interest in such Shares on the part
of any other person, whether or not it shall have express or
other notice hereof.
      Section 7.	Record Date for Receiving Dividends and Other
Actions.  In order that the Board may determine the Shareholders
entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other
distribution of allotment of any rights, or entitled to exercise
any rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of
Shares or for the purpose of any other lawful action (other than
the record date for meetings of shareholders as set forth in
Section 14 of Article IV), the Board may fix a record date,
which record date (i) shall be set forth in the resolution or
resolutions authorizing the payment of such dividend or other
lawful action and (ii) shall not precede the date upon which the
resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board.
ARTICLE VII
GENERAL PROVISIONS
      Section 1.	Seal.  The Trust is not required to have any
seal, and the adoption or use of a seal shall be purely
ornamental and be of no legal effect.  The seal, if any, of the
Trust may be affixed to any instrument, and the seal and its
attestation may be lithographed, engraved or otherwise printed
on any document with the same force and effect as if it had been
imprinted and affixed manually in the same manner and with the
same force and effect as if done by a Delaware business
corporation.  The presence or absences of a seal shall have no
effect on the validity, enforceability or binding nature of any
document or instrument that is otherwise duly authorized,
executed and delivered.
      Section 2.	Severability.  The provisions of these Bylaws are
severable.  If any provision hereof shall be held invalid or
unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity or
unenforceability shall attach only to such provision only in
such jurisdiction and shall not affect any other provision of
these Bylaws.
      Section 3.	Headings.  Headings are placed in these Bylaws
for convenience of reference only and in case of any conflict,
the text of these Bylaws rather than the headings shall control.
ARTICLE VIII
INDEMNIFICATION
      Section 1.	Agents, Proceedings, Expenses. For the purpose of
this Article, "agent" means any Person who is or was a Trustee,
officer, employee or other agent of the Trust or is or was
serving at the request of the Trust as a trustee, director,
officer, employee or agent of another organization in which the
Trust has any interest as a Shareholder, creditor or otherwise:
"proceeding" means any threatened, pending or completed claim,
action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative (including appeals); and
"expenses" includes, without limitation, accountant's and
attorneys' fees, costs, judgments, amounts paid in settlement,
fines, penalties and all other liabilities whatsoever.
      Section 2.	Indemnification. Subject to the exceptions and
limitations contained in Section 3 below, every agent shall be
indemnified by the Trust to the fullest extent permitted by law
against all liabilities and against all expenses reasonably
incurred or paid by him or her in connection with any proceeding
in which he or she becomes involved as a party or otherwise by
virtue of his or her being or having been an agent.
      Section 3.	Limitations, Settlements. No indemnification
shall be provided hereunder to an agent:
            (a)	who shall have been adjudicated by the court or
other body before which the proceeding was brought to be liable
to the Trust or its Shareholders by reason of willful
misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard
of the duties involved in the conduct of his or her office
(collectively, "disabling conduct"); or
            (b)	with respect to any proceeding disposed of (whether
by settlement, pursuant to a consent decree or otherwise)
without an adjudication by the court or other body before which
the proceeding was brought that such agent was liable to the
Trust or its Shareholders by reason of disabling conduct, unless
there has been a determination that such agent did not engage in
disabling conduct:
         (1)	by the court or other body before which the
proceeding was                     brought;
         (2)	(ii) by at least a majority of those Trustees
who are neither Interested Persons (within the meaning of
the 1940 Act) of the Trust nor are parties to the
proceeding based upon a review of readily available facts
(as opposed to a full trial-type inquiry); or
         (3)	by written opinion of independent legal counsel
based upon a review of readily available facts (as
opposed to a full trial-type inquiry);
provided, however, that indemnification shall be provided
hereunder to an agent with respect to any proceeding in the
event of (1) a final decision on the merits by the court or
other body before which the proceeding was brought that the
agent was not liable by reason of disabling conduct, or (2)
the dismissal of the proceeding by the court or other body
before which it was brought for insufficiency of evidence
of any disabling conduct with which such agent has been
charged.
      Section 4.	Insurance, Rights Not Exclusive. The rights of
indemnification herein provided may be insured against by
policies maintained by the Trust on behalf of any agent, shall
be severable, shall not be exclusive of or affect any other
rights to which any agent may now or hereafter be entitled and
shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and
administrators of any agent.
      Section 5.	Advance of Expenses. Expenses incurred by an
agent in connection with the preparation and presentation of a
defense to any proceeding may be paid by the Trust from time to
time prior to final disposition thereof upon receipt of an
undertaking by or on behalf of such agent that such amount will
be paid over by him or her to the Trust if it is ultimately
determined that he or she is not entitled to indemnification
under this Article VIII; provided, however, that (a) such agent
shall have provided appropriate security for such undertaking,
(b) the Trust is insured against losses arising out of any such
advance payments or (c) either a majority of the Trustees who
are neither Interested Persons of the Trust nor parties to the
proceeding, or independent legal counsel in a written opinion,
shall have determined, based upon a review of readily available
facts (as opposed to a trial-type inquiry or full
investigation), that there is reason to believe that such agent
will be found entitled to indemnification under this Article.
      Section 6.	Experts and Lead Independent Trustee. The
appointment, designation or identification of a Trustee as
Chairman or Co-Chairman of the Board, a member or chair of a
committee of the Board of Trustees, an expert on any topic or in
any area (including an audit committee financial expert), or the
lead independent Trustee, shall not (a) impose on that person
any duty, obligation or liability that is greater than the
duties, obligations and liabilities imposed on that person as a
Trustee in the absence of the appointment, designation or
identification or (b) affect in any way such Trustee's rights or
entitlement to indemnification in such absence, and no Trustee
who has special skills or expertise, or is appointed, designated
or identified as an expert as aforesaid, shall (x) be held to a
higher standard of care by virtue thereof or (y) be limited with
respect to indemnification to which such Trustee would otherwise
be entitled.
      Section 7.	Fiduciaries of Employee Benefit Plan. This
Article does not apply to any proceeding against any Trustee,
investment manager or other fiduciary of an employee benefit
plan in that person's capacity as such, even though that person
may also be an agent of this Trust as defined in Section 1 of
this Article.  Nothing contained in this Article shall limit any
right to indemnification to which such a Trustee, investment
manager, or other fiduciary may be entitled by contract or
otherwise which shall be enforceable to the extent permitted by
applicable law other than this Article.
ARTICLE IX

the Shareholders at any regular or special meeting of the Board
of Trustees without prior notice.
