THE CENTRAL EUROPE, RUSSIA AND TURKEY FUND, INC.STATEMENT OF INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE, POLICIES AND INVESTMENT RESTRICTIONS(unaudited) (continued)The Fund may engage in “conventional hedging,” which involves entering into forward currency contracts to sell fixedamounts of a foreign currency for fixed amounts of U.S. dollars in order to hedge the U.S. dollar value of the Fund’s portfolio.The Fund may also engage in “cross-hedging,” which involves entering into forward currency contracts to sell fixedamounts of a foreign security for fixed amounts of another foreign currency to which the Fund may seek exposure.The Fund may not position a hedge with respect to any currency to an extent greater than the aggregate market value (atthe time of making such sale) of the securities held in the Fund’s portfolio denominated or generally quoted in or currentlyconvertible into such currency. 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. If the value of the securities placed in the segregated account declines, additional cash or securities will beplaced in the account so that the value of the account will equal the amount of the Fund’s commitment with respect to thecontract.Investment Restrictions.
