** | The rate is an annualized seven-day yield at period end. | ||||
*** | Variable rate demand obligations (VRDOs) are payable upon demand within the same day for securities with daily liquidity or seven days for securities with weekly liquidity. | ||||
† | Where applicable, calculated using the highest rating of the three NRSRO. Percentages in this table do not include the Short-Term Investment. | ||||

Escrowed to Maturity bonds are bonds where money has been placed in the escrow account which is used to pay principal and interest through the bond's originally scheduled maturity date. Escrowed to Maturity are shown as ETM. All other securities in the category are pre-refunded. | ||||

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2023
(unaudited)
(a) | Securities valuation policies and other investment related disclosures are hereby incorporated by reference in the annual and semi-annual reports previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form N-CSR. |
(b) | At December 31, 2023, the net unrealized depreciation on investments, based on cost for federal income tax purposes of $287,644,108 amounted to $3,379,818, which consisted of aggregate gross unrealized appreciation of $2,299,602 and aggregate gross unrealized depreciation of $5,679,420. |
(c) | Fair Value Measurements: The Fund follows a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) and the Fund’s own market assumptions (unobservable inputs). These inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments and are summarized in the following fair value hierarchy: |
Level 1 – | Unadjusted quoted prices in inactive markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Fund has the ability to access. |
Level 2 – | Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These inputs may include quoted prices for the identical instrument on an inactive market, prices for similar instruments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, default rates and similar data. |
Level 3 – | Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, to the extent relevant observable inputs are not available, representing the Fund’s own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability, and would be based on the best information available. |
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
The following is a summary of the valuation inputs, representing 100% of the Fund’s investments, used to value the Fund’s net assets as of December 31, 2023:
Valuation Inputs+ | Investments in Securities | |
Level 1 – Quoted Prices- Short-Term Investment | $ | 4,421,942 |
