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.
