are selected primarily based on fundamental analysis of instruments and their issuers in light of current market, economic, political, and regulatory conditions. Factors considered may include the instrument&#146;s credit quality, collateral
characteristics, and indenture provisions, and the issuer&#146;s management ability, capital structure, leverage, and ability to meet its current obligations. Quantitative analysis of the structure of the instrument and its features may also be
considered. </FONT></P>
