If the Fund
is a seller of protection and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap
agreement, the
Fund will either (i) pay to the buyer of protection an amount equal to the notional amount of the
swap and take
delivery of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index or (ii)
pay a net settlement
amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap less the
recovery value
of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index. |
2
|
The maximum
potential amount the Fund could be required to pay as a seller of credit protection or receive as a
buyer of credit
protection if a credit event occurs as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement. |
3
|
Implied credit
spreads, utilized in determining the market value of credit default swap agreements on corporate or
sovereign issues
as of period end, serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk and
represent the
likelihood or risk of default for the credit derivative. The implied credit spread of a particular
referenced entity
reflects the cost of buying/selling protection and may include upfront payments required to be
made to enter
into the agreement. Wider credit spreads represent a deterioration of the referenced entity’s credit
soundness and
a greater likelihood or risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of
the agreement.
A credit spread identified as “Defaulted” indicates a credit event has occurred for the referenced
entity or obligation.
|
4
|
If the Fund
is a buyer of protection and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap
agreement, the
Fund will either (i) receive from the seller of protection an amount equal to the notional amount of
the swap and
deliver the referenced obligation or the underlying securities comprising the referenced index or (ii)
receive a net
settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap less the
recovery value
of the referenced obligation or the underlying securities comprising the referenced index. |
