If the Fund enters into a hedging transaction, the Fund’s custodian or subcustodian will placecash or United States government or other liquid securities in a segregated account in an amount equal to the value of theFund’s total assets committed to the consummation of the forward currency contract, which value will be adjusted on adaily basis.
