WILL MY VOTE MAKE A DIFFERENCE? |
YES! Your vote is important and will make a difference in the governance of the Trust(s), no matter how many shares you own.
|
|
* |
WHO IS ASKING FOR YOUR VOTE? |
The enclosed proxy is solicited by the Board of each Trust for use at the Annual Meeting to be held on Tuesday, May 23, 2006, and, if the Annual Meeting is adjourned or postponed, at any later meetings, for the purposes stated in the Notice of Annual Meeting (see previous pages). The Notice of Annual Meeting, the proxy and this Proxy Statement are being mailed on or about April 19, 2006.
|
|
* |
HOW DO THE TRUSTS BOARDS RECOMMEND THAT SHAREHOLDERS VOTE ON THE PROPOSALS? |
Each Board unanimously recommends that you vote FOR each respective Proposal on which you are entitled to vote.
|
|
* |
WHO IS ELIGIBLE TO VOTE? |
Shareholders of record of each Trust at the close of business on February 28, 2006 are entitled to be present and to vote at the Annual Meeting or any adjourned or postponed meeting.
Each share is entitled to one vote. Shares represented by duly executed proxies will be voted in accordance with your instructions. If you sign the proxy, but dont fill in a vote, your shares will be voted in accordance with your Boards recommendation. If any other business is brought before your Trusts Annual Meeting, your shares will be voted at your Boards discretion.
|
|
* |
HOW MANY SHARES OF EACH TRUST WERE OUTSTANDING AS OF THE RECORD DATE? |
Appendix B sets forth the number of outstanding shares for each Trust at the close of business on February 28, 2006.
|
|
* |
WHAT IS A QUORUM FOR PURPOSES OF THE PROPOSALS BEING VOTED ON AT THE MEETING? |
The holders of a majority of outstanding common shares and preferred shares, taken together, present at the Annual Meeting in person or by proxy will constitute a quorum for (i) for the election of directors, other than Kathleen F. Feldstein and Frank J. Fabozzi, and (ii) Proposal 2.
The holders of a majority of outstanding preferred shares present at the Annual Meeting in person or by proxy will constitute a quorum for (i) the election of Kathleen F. Feldstein and Frank J. Fabozzi as directors elected by the owners of preferred shares, and (ii) Proposal 3.
|
|
* |
WHY DOES THIS PROXY STATEMENT LIST SEVERAL CLOSED-END FUNDS? |
|
|
The Trusts have similar proposals and it is cost-efficient to have a joint proxy statement and one annual meeting. In the event that any shareholder present at the Annual Meeting objects to the holding of a joint meeting and moves for an adjournment of his or her Trusts meeting to a time immediately after the Annual Meeting so that such Trusts meeting may be held separately, the persons named as proxies will vote in favor of such adjournment. Shareholders of each Trust will vote separately on the respective Proposals relating to their Trust. In any event, an unfavorable vote on any Proposal by the shareholders of one Trust will not affect the implementation of such Proposal by another Trust if the Proposal is approved by the shareholders of that Trust.

The Proposals
* FIRST PROPOSAL: TO ELECT DIRECTORS
WHO ARE THE NOMINEES FOR DIRECTORS?
The Directors of the Trusts are classified into three classes of Directors: Class I, Class II and Class III. Each class has a term of three years. The term of office of one class of Directors is expiring for each Trust and the Directors of the respective Trust whose terms are expiring are being nominated for election at the Annual Meeting.
Some of the Trusts have issued preferred shares. As required by the 1940 Act, owners of preferred shares, voting as a separate class, are entitled to elect two directors. Historically, Messrs. Cavanagh and Fabozzi have been the directors elected by the owners of preferred shares. The Governance Committee has recommended that Mr. Cavanagh resign from the role of preferred share director because it is anticipated that he will become the lead independent director when Dr. Brimmer retires and the committee believes it is more appropriate for the lead independent director to be elected by all of the shareholders. The Governance Committee has nominated Kathleen F. Feldstein to replace Mr. Cavanagh as the second director elected by owners of preferred shares. Accordingly, the Boards of those Trusts issuing preferred shares here nominated Kathleen F. Feldstein and Frank J. Fabozzi to be elected by the owners of preferred shares.
Mr. Cavanagh, a Class I Director, and Ms. Feldstein, a Class II Director, will each stand for election to the Board of each Trust schedule to vote for their respective class at the Annual Meeting. In addition, Mr. Cavanagh will stand for election to Board of each other Trust that has preferred shares outstanding, because the common shareholders of those Trusts previously have not had the opportunity to vote for him. Similarly, Ms. Feldstein will stand for election to the Board of each other Trust that has preferred shares outstanding, because the preferred shareholders of those Trusts, voting as a separate class, previously have not had the opportunity to vote for her as a preferred share Director.
The following table sets forth the class and nominees to be voted on by each Trust. Each nominees background is described in further detail below. Unless indicated by an asterisk, each Director will be voted on by holders of common shares and preferred shares voting together as a single class and the holders of any preferred shares will have equal voting rights with the holders of common shares (i.e., one vote per share).

DO THE TRUSTS HAVE ANY COMMITTEES?
Yes. The Trusts Directors have determined that the efficient conduct of the Trusts affairs makes it desirable to delegate responsibility for certain specific matters to committees of the Boards. The committees meet as often as necessary, either in conjunction with regular meetings of the Directors or otherwise. The Board has created a Governance Committee comprised of all of the Independent Directors. The Governance Committee appoints the members and chairperson of the Compliance Committee, Portfolio Review Committees and the chairperson of the Governance Committee. The Board appoints the members and chairperson of the Audit Committee.
GOVERNANCE COMMITTEE
Each of the Trusts has a Governance Committee, which also performs the functions normally performed by a nominating committee. The 1940 Act requires that the Trusts have a minimum proportion of directors who are not affiliated in any way with the investment manager, principal underwriter or any broker-dealer of the Trusts. These Independent Directors must vote separately to approve all financial arrangements and other agreements with the Trusts investment manager and other affiliated parties. Each Trusts Independent Directors meet regularly (at least quarterly) as a group in executive session as the Governance Committee. As part of its duties, the Governance Committee makes recommendations to the full Board of each Trust with respect to candidates for the Board and with respect to the compensation of Directors. The Governance Committee will consider director candidates recommended by shareholders. In considering candidates submitted by shareholders, the Governance Committee will take into consideration the needs of the Board and the qualifications of the candidate. The Governance Committee may also take into consideration the number of shares held by the recommending shareholder and the length of time that such shares have been held. To have a candidate considered by the Governance Committee, a shareholder must submit the recommendation in writing and must include:
|
|
|
|
|
The name of the shareholder and evidence of the persons ownership of shares of the applicable Trust(s), including the number of shares owned and the length of time of ownership; and |
|
|

The name of the candidate, the candidates resume or a listing of his or her qualifications to be a Director of the Trust(s) and the persons consent to be named as a Director if selected by the Governance Committee and nominated by the Board. |
The shareholder recommendation and information described above must be sent to the Corporate Secretary, c/o BlackRock, P.O. Box 4546, New York, New York 10163, and must be received by the Corporate Secretary not less than 120 days

prior to the anniversary date of the Trusts most recent annual meeting of shareholders (which deadline will be no later than January 23, 2007, for next years Annual Meeting). The Governance Committee believes that the minimum qualifications for serving as a Director of the Trust(s) are that a candidate demonstrate, by significant accomplishment in his or her field, an ability to make a meaningful contribution to the Boards oversight of the business and affairs of the Trust(s) and have an impeccable record and reputation for honest and ethical conduct in both his or her professional and personal activities. In addition, the Governance Committee examines a candidates specific experiences and skills, time availability in light of other commitments, potential conflicts of interest and independence from management and the Trust(s). The Governance Committee also seeks to have the Board represent a diversity of backgrounds and experience.
The Joint Governance Committee Charter of the Trusts is available at BlackRock, Inc.s (BlackRock s) website at http://www.blackrock.com/indiv/products/closedendfunds/corpgov.html.
AUDIT COMMITTEE
Each of the Trusts has an Audit Committee, composed of four of the Independent Directors, which is charged with selecting a firm of independent registered public accountants for its respective Trust and reviewing accounting matters with the accountants.
The Audit Committee of each Trust presents the following report:
The Audit Committee of each Trust has performed the following functions: (i) the Audit Committee reviewed and discussed the audited financial statements of each Trust with management of each respective Trust, (ii) the Audit Committee discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm the matters required to be discussed by the Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61, (iii) the Audit Committee received the written disclosures and the letter from the independent registered public accounting firm required by ISB Standard No. 1 and has discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm their independence and (iv) the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors of each Trust that the financial statements be included in each Trusts Annual Report for the past fiscal year.
The members of the Audit Committee of each Trust are Messrs. Brimmer (Chairman of the Audit Committee), Cavanagh, Dixon and Fabozzi, all of whom are Independent Directors. The Board of each Trust has determined that each Trust has three audit committee financial experts serving on its Audit Committee, Dr. Brimmer, Mr. Dixon and Mr. Fabozzi, all of whom are independent for the purpose of the definition of audit committee financial expert as applicable to the Trusts. The Audit Committee is governed by a written charter, which was revised on May 26, 2005 and re-approved in February 2006 and is attached hereto as Appendix C.
PORTFOLIO REVIEW COMMITTEES
In an effort to continue to improve the Boards oversight and governance of the Trusts, the Governance Committee created two portfolio review committees (the Portfolio Review Committees). The purposes of each Portfolio Review Committee are as follows: (1) to support the Independent Directors in acting independently of BlackRock in pursuing the best interests of the Trusts and their shareholders, (2) to review the investment objectives, policies and practices of each Trust under its oversight, (3) to review with respect to each Trust under its oversight: (a) whether such Trust has complied with its investment policies and restrictions as reflected in its prospectus and Statement of Additional Information, (b) appropriate benchmarks and competitive universes, (c) investment performance, (d) unusual or exceptional investment matters and (e) other matter bearing on such Trusts investment results.
Each Trusts Portfolio Review Committee was formed in November of 2005. The Taxable and Municipal Trusts Portfolio Review Committee is chaired by Richard E. Cavanagh, and Frank J. Fabozzi, Kathleen F. Feldstein, and Ralph L. Schlosstein are members. The Equity and High Yield Trusts Portfolio Review Committee is chaired by Kent Dixon, and R. Glenn Hubbard, and Robert S. Kapito are members. Andrew F. Brimmer is an ex officio member of each Portfolio Review Committee.
The Portfolio Review Committees may meet as a whole or separately and concurrently with each other. Portfolio reviews of particular Trusts will be allocated among the Portfolio Review Committees as determined by the Governance Committee in consultation with BlackRock.
7
COMPLIANCE COMMITTEE
Each Trust has a Compliance Committee that was formed in November of 2005. All members of the Compliance Committee are Independent Directors. The members and the chair of the Compliance Committee are determined annually by the Governance Committee. Dr. Andrew F. Brimmer is the chair of the Compliance Committee for each of the Trusts. Richard E. Cavanagh, Kathleen F. Feldstein and R. Glenn Hubbard, are members of the Compliance Committee.
The purposes of the Compliance Committee are to (1) support the Independent Directors in acting independently of the Adviser in pursuing the best interests of the Trusts and their shareholders, (2) receive information on and, where appropriate recommend policies concerning the Trusts compliance with applicable law, and (3) receive reports from and make recommendations in respect of the Trusts Chief Compliance Officer.
EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE
Each Trust has an Executive Committee composed of Messrs. Schlosstein and Kapito, which acts on behalf of the full Board on certain matters in the interval between meetings of the Board.

Represents the aggregate compensation earned by such persons during the calendar year ended December 31, 2005. Of this amount, Dr. Brimmer, Mr. Cavanagh, Mr. Dixon, Mr. Fabozzi, Ms. Feldstein and Mr. Hubbard deferred $50,000, $50,000, $50,000, $50,000, $30,000 and $190,000, respectively, pursuant to the Fund Complexs deferred compensation plan (described below). |
|
|

Dr. Brimmer serves as lead independent director for each Board in the Fund Complex. For his services as lead independent director, Dr. Brimmer was compensated in the amount of $50,000 per annum by the Fund Complex allocated among the |
9
|
|
|
Trusts in the Fund Complex based on each Trusts relative net assets. Dr. Brimmer received an additional $30,000 per annum from the Fund Complex for his service as the Audit Committee Chairman of the Fund Complex. |
|
|
(4) |
Messrs. Brimmer, Cavanagh, Dixon and Fabozzi serve on the Audit Committee of the Fund Complex and for their service received an additional $20,000 per annum, allocated among the Trusts in the Fund Complex based on their relative net assets. |
During the last fiscal year, each Independent Director received an annual fee calculated as follows: (i) $6,000 from each Trust in the Fund Complex and (ii) $1,000 for each meeting of each Board in the Fund Complex attended by such Independent Director. The total annual aggregate compensation for each Independent Director was capped at $190,000 per annum, except that Dr. Brimmer received an additional $50,000 per annum from the Fund Complex for acting as the lead independent director for each Board in the Fund Complex and an additional $30,000 per annum from the Fund Complex for acting as the Audit Committee Chairman of the Fund Complex and Messrs. Brimmer, Cavanagh, Dixon and Fabozzi received an additional $20,000 per annum, from the Fund Complex for their service on the Audit Committee of the Fund Complex. This additional compensation to Messrs. Brimmer, Cavanagh, Dixon and Fabozzi was allocated among the Trusts in the Fund Complex based on their relative net assets. In the event that the $190,000 cap was met with respect to an Independent Director, the amount of the Independent Directors fee borne by each Trust in the Fund Complex was reduced by reference to the net assets of the Trust relative to the other Trusts in the Fund Complex. In addition, the attendance fees of each Independent Director of the Trusts were reduced proportionately, based on each respective Trusts net assets, so that the aggregate per meeting fee for all meetings of the Boards of the Trusts (excluding the per annum Audit Committee fee) held on a single day did not exceed $15,834 for any Independent Director.
The following Directors fees were accrued by the following Trusts during their last fiscal year from January 1, 2005 to December 31, 2005. These amounts include fees accrued by Messrs. La Force and Mondale, who were members of the Board in 2005 and retired on February 23, 2006.

None of the Directors received any pension or retirement benefits. Under the deferred compensation plan (the Plan) approved by each Trusts Board, Independent Directors may elect to defer receipt of all or a portion of their annual compensation. As of January 1, 2003, the Board elected to require its Independent Directors to defer a portion of their annual compensation pursuant to the Plan. Deferred amounts earn an approximate return as though equivalent dollar amounts had been invested in common shares of certain BlackRock closed-end Trusts selected by the Directors. This has approximately the same economic effect for the Directors as if the Directors had invested the deferred amounts in such Trusts. The Plan is not funded and obligations thereunder represent general unsecured claims against the general assets of the Trust. Each Trust may, however, elect to invest in common shares of those Trusts selected by the Directors in order to match its deferred compensation obligations.
The Independent Directors deferred at least $30,000 of their $190,000 base fee pursuant to the Plan. Also, members of the Audit Committee of the Fund Complex deferred all of the $20,000 per annum fee they received for their services on the Audit Committee pursuant to the Plan.
None of the officers of the Trusts received any compensation, including pension or retirement benefits, from the Trusts for such period. Messrs. Schlosstein, Kapito, Gabbay, Klingert, Kong, Gary, Tritto, Battista, Kindelan and Ms. Ackerley, officers of the Trusts, are also affiliated with the Advisor or its affiliates, as such, they receive compensation from the Advisor or one of its affiliates. Under the terms of the investment advisory agreements a portion of Mr. Battistas compensation was reimbursed by the Trusts to the extent of his working time as chief compliance officer of the Trusts.
The Directors have adopted a new compensation structure for 2006. Under the new compensation structure, the Trusts anticipate that each Director will be compensated as follows:
|
|
|
New Fee |
Annual Board Retainer Fee (continue mandatory deferral of $30,000) |
$190,000 |
Anuual Board Meeting Fee (6 meetings including 2 telephonic) |
0 |
Sub Total Annual Board Retainer and Meeting Fees |
190,000 |
Annual Audit Committee Meeting Fee (6 meetings including 4 telephonic, which may or may not occur in conjunction with regularly scheduled board meetings) (continue mandatory deferral of $20,000) |
30,000 |
Annual Audit Committee Chair Fee |
30,000 |
Annual Lead Director Fee |
60,000 |
Each Board/Audit Committee Meeting Fee in excess of the 6 scheduled meetings (either in-person or telephonic, including organizational meetings for new funds other than meetings held in conjunction with regularly scheduled meetings) |
3,000 |
|
|

HOW LARGE A STAKE DO THE DIRECTORS HAVE IN THE TRUSTS? |
The Directors believe each Director should have a beneficial investment in the BlackRock closed-end Trusts. The Directors allocate their investments among the 56 active BlackRock closed-end Trusts based on their own investment needs. The table attached at Appendix E to this Proxy Statement sets forth the dollar range of equity securities beneficially owned and share equivalents held by each Director in all of the BlackRock closed-end Trusts represented in this Proxy Statement as of February 28, 2006.
11
* WHAT VOTE IS REQUIRED TO APPROVE THIS PROPOSAL?
The affirmative vote of a plurality of the shares present for each Trust at the Annual Meeting at which a quorum is present and entitled to vote on a Director is necessary to approve the respective Director nominated under Proposal 1 for each respective Trust.
* HOW DO THE DIRECTORS RECOMMEND I VOTE ON THIS PROPOSAL?
THE BOARD OF EACH TRUST HAS APPROVED SUBMITTING THIS PROPOSAL TO SHAREHOLDERS OF EACH TRUST. THE BOARD OF EACH TRUST, INCLUDING THE INDEPENDENT DIRECTORS, UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE FOR EACH OF THE DIRECTORS NOMINATED UNDER THIS PROPOSAL.
* * * * *
* SECOND PROPOSAL: FOR EACH OF BHY, BPS AND BSD, TO AMEND ITS DECLARATION OF TRUST TO EXPAND THE AUTHORITY OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES
The Declaration of Trust of each of BHY, BPS and BSD (the Proposal 2 Trusts) currently permits the following: The Trustees may designate an executive committee which shall have all the authority of the entire Board of Trustees except such committee cannot declare dividends and cannot authorize removal of a trustee or any merger, consolidation or sale of substantially all of the assets of the Trust.
The Directors believe that consistency among the Declarations of Trust for the Trusts organized as Delaware statutory trusts generally enhances efficiency in administering the various Trusts. To this end, the Directors believe that creating a uniform provision regarding delegation and committees for all of the Delaware statutory trusts is in the best interests of the shareholders of the Trusts, including the Proposal 2 Trusts. In order to achieve uniformity in the BlackRock closed-end Trusts family, it is necessary for each Proposal 2 Trust to revise the provision to allow as follows: The Trustees may designate one or more committees which shall have all or such lesser portion of the authority of the entire Board of Trustees as the Trustees shall determine from time to time, except to the extent action by the entire Board of Trustees or particular Trustees is required by the 1940 Act. The Directors believe that this amendment would increase the efficiency of the operation of the Proposal 2 Trusts, primarily by permitting the Executive Committee to declare dividends.
The affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of a Proposal 2 Trust is necessary to approve Proposal 2 for the respective Trust. Holders of common shares and preferred shares vote together as a single class with respect to this proposal.
THE BOARD OF EACH PROPOSAL 2 TRUST HAS APPROVED SUBMITTING THIS PROPOSAL TO SHAREHOLDERS OF THE RESPECTIVE PROPOSAL 2 TRUST. THE BOARD OF EACH PROPOSAL 2 TRUST, INCLUDING THE INDEPENDENT DIRECTORS, UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE FOR THIS PROPOSAL.
* * * * *
* THIRD PROPOSAL: FOR EACH OF THE PROPOSAL 3 TRUSTS, TO AMEND ITS RESPECTIVE CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATION OR STATEMENT OF PREFERENCES, AS APPROPRIATE, TO REVISE THE LANGUAGE REGARDING PREFERRED SHARES TO ALLOW THE TRUSTS TO FOLLOW THE MOST RECENT GUIDELINES OF S&P, MOODYS AND/OR FITCH, AS APPROPRIATE, FOR CREDIT RATING CRITERIA IN EFFECT FROM TIME TO TIME TO MAINTAIN A AAA RATING ON PREFERRED SHARES
The Certificate of Designation or Statement of Preferences, as appropriate, of each of RAA, RFA, RNJ, RNY, BKN, BFC, BRM, BLN, BSD, BRF and BMT (the Proposal 3 Trusts) currently imposes credit rating standards that were in effect for S&P, Moodys and/or Fitch, as appropriate, at the time the preferred shares were initially offered. In order to keep current the credit rating standards applicable to Proposal 3 Trusts, it is necessary to allow the Proposal 3 Trusts to follow the most recent credit rating criteria of S&P, Moodys and/or Fitch required to maintain a AAA rating on preferred shares. Revising such language will allow the Proposal 3 Trusts to follow the preferred share testing standards as the standards change over time. If the Third Proposal is approved by the shareholders of a Proposal 3 Trust, the Certificate of Designation or Statement of Preferences, as appropriate, of such Trust will be amended, accordingly.
12
The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding preferred shares of a Proposal 3 Trust is necessary to approve Proposal 3 for the respective Trust.
THE BOARD OF EACH PROPOSAL 3 TRUST HAS APPROVED SUBMITTING THIS PROPOSAL TO SHAREHOLDERS OF THE RESPECTIVE PROPOSAL 3 TRUST. THE BOARD OF EACH PROPOSAL 3 TRUST, INCLUDING THE INDEPENDENT DIRECTORS, UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE FOR THIS PROPOSAL.

FURTHER INFORMATION ABOUT VOTING AND THE ANNUAL MEETING
The cost of soliciting proxies will be borne by each Trust in proportion to the amount of proxies solicited on behalf of a Trust bears to the total proxies solicited on behalf of all of the Trusts. In addition, certain officers, directors and employees of each of the Trusts and the Advisor, located at 100 Bellevue Parkway, Wilmington, Delaware 19809 (none of whom will receive additional compensation therefor) may solicit proxies by telephone or mail. Also, certain of the Trusts may employ The Altman Group, Inc. pursuant to its standard contract as proxy solicitor, the cost of which will be borne proportionately by each of the Trusts and is estimated to be approximately $2,500 per Trust.
Abstentions will be counted as shares present at the Annual Meeting and will not affect the result of the vote on Proposal 1. Abstentions on Proposals 2 and 3 will have the same effect as a negative vote.
All properly executed proxies received prior to the Annual Meeting will be voted at the Annual Meeting in accordance with the instructions marked thereon or otherwise as provided therein. Shareholders may revoke their proxies at any time prior to the time they are voted by giving written notice to the Secretary of the Trust by delivering a subsequently dated proxy or by attending and voting at the Annual Meeting.
The Board of each Trust has fixed the close of business on February 28, 2006 as the record date for the determination of shareholders of each Trust entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Annual Meeting. Shareholders of each Trust on that date will be entitled to one vote on each matter to be voted on by that Trust for each share held and a fractional vote with respect to each fractional share held with no cumulative voting rights.

BlackRock manages assets on behalf of institutions and individual investors worldwide, through a variety of equity, fixed income, liquidity and alternative investment separate accounts and mutual funds, including the BlackRock Funds and BlackRock Liquidity Funds. In addition, BlackRock provides risk management and investment system services to a growing number of institutional investors under the BlackRock Solutions(R) name.

BlackRock, Inc. and Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc.

Merrill Lynch will have a 49.8% economic interest and a 45% voting interest in the combined company and PNC, which currently holds a majority interest in BlackRock, will have approximately a 34% economic and voting interest. The new company will operate under the BlackRock name and be governed by a board of directors with a
14
majority of independent members. Each of Merrill Lynch and PNC has agreed that it will vote all of its shares on all matters in accordance with the recommendation of BlackRocks board in order to assure its independence. Completion of the transaction is subject to various regulatory approvals, client consents, approval by BlackRock shareholders and customary conditions.

APPENDIX C
JOINT AUDIT COMMITTEE CHARTER
OF
THE BLACKROCK CLOSED-END FUNDS
(the Fund or Funds)
AS APPROVED BY THE BOARDS OF
TRUSTEES/DIRECTORS
FEBRUARY, 20061
I. THE MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE
Each Trust shall have an audit committee (the Committee) of its Board of Directors/Trustees (the Board). The Committee will be composed of at least three members of the Board, each of whom is independent (i.e. not an interested person of the Fund, as that term is defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the Investment Company Act of 1940). No member of the Committee shall directly or indirectly receive any compensation from the Fund, or any subsidiary thereof, if applicable, except compensation for services as a member of the Funds Board or a committee of the Board.2 Members shall have no relationships with the Fund or its investment adviser, administrator or custodian that may interfere with the exercise of their independence from management of the Fund. The members and the Committee chair shall be elected by the full Board.
Each member shall be financially literate as the Board interprets such qualification in its business judgment. At least one member shall have accounting or related financial management expertise, as the Board interprets such qualification in its business judgment. The Board shall determine annually whether any member of the Committee is an audit committee financial expert (ACFE) as defined in Item 3 of Form N-CSR. The Board may presume that an ACFE has the requisite accounting or related financial management expertise. The designation of a person as an ACFE shall not impose any greater responsibility or liability on that person than the responsibility or liability imposed on such person as a member of the Committee.
In the event a member simultaneously serves on the audit committees of more than three public companies, the Board shall determine whether such simultaneous service would impair the ability of such member to effectively serve on the Funds audit committee. The Board has determined that simultaneous service on the Committee of each Fund shall be deemed to be equivalent to service on the audit committee of a single public company for purposes of this requirement and that such service does not impair the ability of a member to effectively serve on the Committee of any single Fund.
II. PURPOSE OF THE COMMITTEE
The purpose of the Committee is to assist the Board in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities relating to the accounting and financial reporting policies and practices of the Fund, including:
|
|
|
the integrity of the
Funds financial statements; |
|
the Funds compliance with
legal and regulatory requirements; |
|
the qualifications and
independence of the Funds independent auditors; |
|
the performance of the
Funds internal audit function provided by its investment advisor,
administrator, pricing agent and other service providers; and |
|
preparing for each Fund the report required to be included in its annual proxy statement, if any, by the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1 |
This Joint Audit Committee Charter, if adopted, supercedes and replaces all prior versions that may have been adopted from time to time. |
|
|
|
|
2 |
For this purpose, compensation includes any compensation paid by a Fund or a subsidiary for services to a law firm, accounting firm, consulting firm, investment bank or financial advisory firm in which the Committee member is a partner, member, executive officer or holds a similar position. |
