Fair Value Measurements
 
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received upon selling an investment or transferring a liability in an orderly transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market for the investment. A three-tier hierarchy is used to maximize the use of observable market data and minimize the use of unobservable inputs and to establish classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Observable inputs are based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Unobservable inputs are based on the best information available in the circumstances. The following is a summary of the three-tiered hierarchy of valuation input levels.
 
Level 1 – Inputs are unadjusted and prices are determined using quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
 
Level 2 – Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
 
Level 3 – Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs (including management's assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).
 
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. The following is a summary of the Fund's fair value measurements as of the end of the reporting period:

Income Tax Information
 
The following information is presented on an income tax basis. Differences between amounts for financial statement and federal income tax purposes are primarily due to timing differences in recognizing taxable market discount, timing differences in recognizing certain gains and losses on investment transactions and the treatment of investments in inverse floating rate securities reflected as financing transactions, if any. To the extent that differences arise that are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities presented in the annual report, based on their federal tax basis treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification. Temporary and permanent differences do not impact the net asset value of the Fund.
 
As of February 28, 2015, the cost of investments (excluding investments in derivatives) was $343,611,286.
 
Gross unrealized appreciation and gross unrealized depreciation of investments (excluding investments in derivatives) as of February 28, 2015, were as follows:
   
Gross unrealized:
  
Appreciation
$27,226,210
Depreciation
(335,083)
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments
$26,891,127
 
(1)
  
All percentages shown in the Portfolio of Investments are based on net assets applicable to common shares
   
unless otherwise noted.
(2)
  
Optional Call Provisions: Dates (month and year) and prices of the earliest optional call or redemption. There
   
may be other call provisions at varying prices at later dates. Certain mortgage-backed securities may be
   
subject to periodic principal paydowns.
(3)
  
Ratings: Using the highest of Standard & Poor’s Group (“Standard & Poor’s”), Moody’s Investors Service, Inc.
   
(“Moody’s”) or Fitch, Inc. (“Fitch”) rating. Ratings below BBB by Standard & Poor’s, Baa by Moody’s or BBB
   
by Fitch are considered to be below investment grade. Holdings designated N/R are not rated by any of
   
these national rating agencies.
(4)
  
Backed by an escrow or trust containing sufficient U.S. Government or U.S. Government agency securities,
   
which ensure the timely payment of principal and interest. Certain bonds backed by U.S. Government or
   
agency securities are regarded as having an implied rating equal to the rating of such securities.
(5)
  
Variable Rate MuniFund Term Preferred Shares, at Liquidation Value as a percentage of Total Investments
   
is 33.7%.
(6)
  
Other assets less liabilities includes the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of the over-the-counter
   
derivatives as exchange-cleared and exchange-traded derivatives, when applicable.
(7)
  
The Fund entered into the credit default swaps to gain investment exposure to the referenced entity.
   
Selling protection has a similar credit risk position to owning the referenced entity. Buying protection has
   
a similar credit risk position to selling the referenced entity short.
(8)
  
The credit spread generally serves as an indication of the current status of the payment/performance risk
   
and therefore the likelihood of default of the credit derivative. The credit spread also reflects the cost of
   
buying/selling protection and may include upfront payments required to be made to enter into a credit
   
default swap contract. Higher credit spreads are indicative of higher likelihood of performance by the
   
seller of protection.
(ETM)
  
Escrowed to maturity.
