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.
