follows:

      The debt  instruments  in which the Fund may invest may be unrated  or, if
      rated,  in any rating  category,  provided that  investments in securities
      rated lower than  investment  grade ("Baa" by Moody's  Investors  Service,
      Inc.  ("Moody's") or "BBB" by Standard & Poor's  Corporation  ("Standard &
      Poor's"),  Fitch Investors Service,  L.P. ("Fitch") or Duff & Phelps, Inc.
      (Duff &  Phelps)  or  another  nationally  recognized  statistical  rating
      organization) may not exceed 50% of the Fund's total assets.
