     Note 1: Investment ratio is calculated by dividing each
          asset at its market value by the total Net Asset
          Value of the Fund.  The same applies hereinafter.
     Note 2: The exchange rate of U.S. Dollars ("dollar" or
          "$") into Japanese Yen is yen121.10 for one U.S.
          Dollar, which is the actual middle point between the
          selling and buying currency rate by telegraphic
          transfer of The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi, Ltd. on
          the end of June, 1999.  The same applies
          hereinafter.
     Note 3: In this report, money amounts and percentages
          have been rounded.  Therefore, there are cases in
          which the amount for the "total" column is not equal
          to the aggregate amount.  Also, conversion into
          other currencies is done simply by multiplying the
          corresponding amount by the conversion rate
          specified and rounded up when necessary.  As a
          result, in this report, there are cases in which
          figures for the same information differ from each
          other.
     Note 4: As of the end of June 1999, 73.71 %, 2.94 % and
          23.13 % of the total Net Assets of the Fund was
          invested in securities rated AAA (or its
          equivalent), AA (or its equivalent) and other
          securities, respectively.
