MuniYield
Michigan
Insured
Fund, Inc.


www.mlim.ml.com




MuniYield Michigan Insured Fund, Inc. seeks to provide shareholders
with as high a level of current income exempt from Federal and
Michigan income taxes as is consistent with its investment policies
and prudent investment management by investing primarily in a
portfolio of long-term municipal obligations the interest on which,
in the opinion of bond counsel to the issuer, is exempt from Federal
and Michigan income taxes.

This report, including the financial information herein, is
transmitted to the shareholders of MuniYield Michigan Insured Fund,
Inc. for their information. It is not a prospectus. Past performance
results shown in this report should not be considered a
representation of future performance. The Fund has leveraged its
Common Stock and intends to remain leveraged by issuing Preferred
Stock to provide the Common Stock shareholders with a potentially
higher rate of return. Leverage creates risks for Common Stock
shareholders, including the likelihood of greater volatility of net
asset value and market price of the Common Stock, and the risk that
fluctuations in the short-term dividend rates of the Preferred Stock
may affect the yield to Common Stock shareholders. Statements and
other information herein are as dated and are subject to change.

MUNIYIELD MICHIGAN INSURED FUND, INC.

The Benefits
And Risks of
Leveraging

MuniYield Michigan Insured Fund, Inc. utilizes leveraging to seek to
enhance the yield and net asset value of its Common Stock. However,
these objectives cannot be achieved in all interest rate
environments. To leverage, the Fund issues Preferred Stock, which
pays dividends at prevailing short-term interest rates, and invests
the proceeds in long-term municipal bonds. The interest earned on
these investments is paid to Common Stock shareholders in the form
of dividends, and the value of these portfolio holdings is reflected
in the per share net asset value of the Fund's Common Stock.
However, in order to benefit Common Stock shareholders, the yield
curve must be positively sloped; that is, short-term interest rates
must be lower than long-term interest rates. At the same time, a
period of generally declining interest rates will benefit Common
Stock shareholders. If either of these conditions change, then the
risks of leveraging will begin to outweigh the benefits.

To illustrate these concepts, assume a fund's Common Stock
capitalization of $100 million and the issuance of Preferred Stock
for an additional $50 million, creating a total value of $150
million available for investment in long-term municipal bonds. If
prevailing short-term interest rates are approximately 3% and long-
term interest rates are approximately 6%, the yield curve has a
strongly positive slope. The fund pays dividends on the $50 million
of Preferred Stock based on the lower short-term interest rates. At
the same time, the fund's total portfolio of $150 million earns the
income based on long-term interest rates. Of course, increases in
short-term interest rates would reduce (and even eliminate) the
dividends on the Common Stock.

In this case, the dividends paid to Preferred Stock shareholders are
significantly lower than the income earned on the fund's long-term
investments, and therefore the Common Stock shareholders are the
beneficiaries of the incremental yield. However, if short-term
interest rates rise, narrowing the differential between short-term
and long-term interest rates, the incremental yield pickup on the
Common Stock will be reduced or eliminated completely. At the same
time, the market value of the fund's Common Stock (that is, its
price as listed on the New York Stock Exchange) may, as a result,
decline. Furthermore, if long-term interest rates rise, the Common
Stock's net asset value will reflect the full decline in the price
of the portfolio's investments, since the value of the fund's
Preferred Stock does not fluctuate. In addition to the decline in
net asset value, the market value of the fund's Common Stock may
also decline.

As a part of its investment strategy, the Fund may invest in certain
securities whose potential income return is inversely related to
changes in a floating interest rate ("inverse floaters"). In
general, income on inverse floaters will decrease when short-term
interest rates increase and increase when short-term interest rates
decrease. Investments in inverse floaters may be characterized as
derivative securities and may subject the Fund to the risks of
reduced or eliminated interest payments and losses of invested
principal. In addition, inverse floaters have the effect of
providing investment leverage and, as a result, the market value of
such securities will generally be more volatile than that of fixed-
rate, tax-exempt securities. To the extent the Fund invests in
inverse floaters, the market value of the Fund's portfolio and the
net asset value of the Fund's shares may also be more volatile than
if the Fund did not invest in such securities.


Swap
Agreements

The Fund may also invest in swap agreements, which are over-the-
counter contracts in which one party agrees to make periodic
payments based on the change in market value of a specified bond,
basket of bonds, or index in return for periodic payments based on a
fixed or variable interest rate or the change in market value of a
different bond, basket of bonds or index. Swap agreements may be
used to obtain exposure to a bond or market without owning or taking
physical custody of securities.

DEAR SHAREHOLDER

For the year ended October 31, 2002, the Common Stock of MuniYield
Michigan Insured Fund, Inc. earned $.943 per share income dividends,
which included earned and unpaid dividends of $.080. This represents
a net annualized yield of 5.95%, based on a year-end net asset value
of $15.74 per share. During the same period, the total investment
return on the Fund's Common Stock was +6.33%, based on a change in
per share net asset value from $15.81 to $15.74, and assuming
reinvestment of $.937 per share income dividends.

For the six-month period ended October 31, 2002, the total
investment return on the Fund's Common Stock was +5.47%, based on a
change in per share net asset value from $15.42 to $15.74, and
assuming reinvestment of $.477 per share income dividends.

For the six-month period ended October 31, 2002, the Fund's Auction
Market Preferred Stock had an average yield of 1.33% for Series A,
1.41% for Series B and 1.18% for Series C.

The Municipal Market Environment
During the six-month period ended October 31, 2002, the direction of
long-term fixed income interest rates was driven as much by volatile
U.S. equity markets and continued worldwide political tensions as by
economic fundamentals. After rising steadily early in 2002, bond
yields reversed course to move sharply lower throughout most of the
October period. Positive economic fundamentals repeatedly were
overwhelmed by falling equity valuations and declines in investor
confidence. U.S. gross domestic product (GDP) activity for the first
quarter of 2002 measured at 5%, considerably above the level of
economic growth seen at the end of 2001. During May and June, a
number of economic indicators, such as housing activity, consumer
spending and weekly unemployment claims, all pointed to at least a
modest economic recovery by the end of 2002. However, steady
dramatic declines in U.S. equity markets led the majority of
investors to conclude that the Federal Reserve Board was unlikely to
increase short-term interest rates for the remainder of the year.
U.S. Treasury issue prices were also boosted by erupting Middle East
and India/Pakistan conflicts that led many international investors
to seek the safe-haven status of U.S. Treasury securities. By the
end of June 2002, long-term U.S. Treasury bond yields had declined
to 5.50%, a decline of almost 35 basis points (.35%) from their
recent highs in mid-March.

In late July, second quarter U.S. GDP growth was initially estimated
at 1.1%. While subject to revision, this estimate suggested that
continued declines in U.S. equity prices were negatively affecting
not only consumer but business confidence as well and undermining
much of the economic growth witnessed earlier this year. Some
analysts extrapolated that recent weakness would continue, if not
accelerate. This brought about forecasts that the Federal Reserve
Board would soon be obliged to lower short-term interest rates both
to offset equity market declines and boost consumer and business
spending. The possibility of lower short-term interest rates helped
push longer-term bond yields lower still during July and August. The
dramatic decline in U.S. equity prices in late August and September
triggered a significant fixed income rally as investors again sought
the safe-haven status of U.S. Treasury securities. By the end of
September, U.S. Treasury bond yields fell to 4.66%.

Bolstered by an unexpected decline in the national unemployment rate
to 5.6% in early October, U.S. equity markets staged a strong rally
throughout much of the month. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index rose
more than 8% for the month, triggered by stronger-than-expected
earnings reports from a large number of companies, such as General
Electric Company, International Business Machines Corporation and
Microsoft Corporation. Bond prices continued to trade in an inverse
relationship to equity prices. Consequently, as stocks rallied, bond
yields rose in October, despite generally weak economic releases.
During October, the U.S. housing sector remained quite robust, but
retail sales and industrial production slowed. By October 31, 2002,
long-term U.S. Treasury bond yields rose to almost 5%, a monthly
increase of more than 30 basis points. During the past six months,
the yield on 30-year U.S. Treasury bonds declined over 60 basis
points.

For the six-month period ended October 31, 2002, municipal bond
prices also generally increased. Similar to their taxable
counterparts, municipal bond yields rose in early 2002, largely on
the expectation of short-term interest rate increases by the Federal
Reserve Board. By late March, long-term municipal revenue bond
yields, as measured by the Bond Buyer Revenue Bond Index, rose to
5.67%, their highest level in more than a year. During recent
months, tax-exempt bond yields have generally declined largely in
response to the positive fixed income environment engendered by
falling equity valuations. The municipal bond market's price
advances in tax-exempt issues, however, have not been able to keep
pace with U.S. Treasury issues as municipal bonds cannot offer
foreign investors the safe-haven status U.S. Treasury issues enjoy
in periods of economic and financial instability. The municipal bond
market's recent price advances have also been supported by the
continued improvement in the tax-exempt market's technical position.
Despite sizeable advances in the rate of new municipal bond
issuance, investor demand has increased, allowing tax-exempt bond
prices to rise. By the end of October 2002, long-term municipal
revenue bond yields stood at 5.20%, a decline of more than
30 basis points during the past six months.

Investor demand has remained very positive throughout the period.
The Investment Company Institute reported that thus far in 2002,
municipal bond fund net cash flows remained very strong at over
$17.5 billion, up nearly 80% compared to the same period in 2001.
Additionally, investors received from June to August 2002
approximately $75 billion from bond maturities, proceeds from early
redemptions and coupon income. Given the current weakness in U.S.
equity markets, much of these monies were likely reinvested in tax-
exempt products. Perhaps more importantly, short-term municipal
rates have continued to move lower in response to Federal Reserve
Board actions. In reaction to Federal Reserve Board interest rate
reductions, short-term municipal rates have declined to the 1% -
1.50% range. As interest rates have declined, investors have
extended maturities to take advantage of the steep municipal bond
yield curve. The significant income sacrifice incurred by remaining
in cash reserves has resulted in ongoing strong demand for municipal
securities, especially in the 5-year - 15-year maturity range.

Recent performance by the tax-exempt market has been even more
impressive considering the increase in new bond issuance seen thus
far in 2002. Nationwide, municipalities have used present low
interest rate levels both to refinance older debt and fund new
capital projects. Over the past six months, more than $200 billion
in new long-term municipal bonds was issued, an increase of nearly
40% compared to the same period in 2001. Nearly $100 billion in long-
term tax-exempt securities was underwritten during the October
quarter of 2002, an increase of over 40% compared to the October
quarter of 2001 level.

In the coming months, interest rates are likely to remain volatile,
with an expected upward bias. However, until equity market
conditions stabilize, interest rates should remain near their
current historically low levels. While recent stock market declines
appear to have negatively affected economic growth in recent months,
business activity is likely to accelerate going forward. While
governmental stimulus in response to the September 11, 2001 attacks
has been significant, the recent 50 basis point decrease in interest
rates by the Federal Reserve Board should provide additional
incentive to the sluggish U.S. economy. The ongoing U.S. military
response to worldwide terrorism has reduced a once-sizeable Federal
surplus to a material deficit. Further military action in early 2003
would likely result in higher Federal spending, deficits and
increased Treasury financing. Increased Federal borrowings can be
expected to put upward pressure on interest rates going forward.

Equity market declines helped push interest rates to lower levels
than economic fundamentals alone would support. When U.S. equity
markets stabilize and economic activity resumes, associated interest
rate increases should not be extreme. Inflationary pressures have
remained subdued, meaning that significant interest rate increases
are unlikely. As equity valuations are likely to only gradually
recover, U.S. economic recovery is also likely to be a moderate
process. This suggests that the pace of any interest rate increases
will be gradual. As the municipal bond market's strong technical
position can be expected to remain supportive in the coming months,
future tax-exempt rate increases should be more restrained than
their taxable counterparts.

Specific to Michigan, the state maintains the highest possible
credit ratings (Aaa/AAA) from Moody's and Standard & Poor's,
respectively, and is rated AA+ by Fitch. Michigan ranks 33rd in debt
per capita and 35th in debt as a percentage of personal income.
These ratios are quite low for a populous state and indicate
flexibility in responding to economic downturns relative to other
states. Nevertheless, tax revenue collections are exhibiting a
downward trend, in line with the national economy. Accordingly, the
state has resorted to drawing down on its Budget Stabilization Fund
as well as revenue enhancements, such as the sale of state property,
and expenditure reductions, including delaying capital projects, in
order to balance its current budget. Additional uncertainty
surrounding the credit outlook for Michigan came from the
gubernatorial election that took place on November 5, 2002 in which
a new candidate was elected governor. Voters approved only one of
three important referendums--the $1 billion in general obligation
bonding authority for water and sewer projects--while the
referendums for the right to collective bargaining for state
employees and diversion of revenues from the tobacco Master
Settlement Agreement to health care providers were defeated. Despite
these results, we expect that Michigan will remain among the highest-
rated states for credit because of its economic diversity, low debt
levels and strong reserves. Any ratings downgrade is likely to have
only a limited impact on the Fund's holdings as the Fund's insured
structure greatly insulates it from any downward price reaction to a
downgrade. It also should be noted that if a downgrade occurs, it is
likely to be to Aa+/AA+. Such a minor ratings adjustment, especially
given the current strong financial environment, is unlikely to
result in a significant price adjustment to state-supported issues.

Portfolio Strategy
During the six months ended October 31, 2002, we maintained the
Fund's neutral market position adopted earlier this year. While tax-
exempt bond yields declined more than anticipated, the Fund's
leveraged structure and fully invested position allowed it to
completely participate in the significant market appreciation seen
in recent months. The combination of the U.S. equity markets
decline, corporate disclosure issues and the prospect of further
military action have driven bond prices higher than economic
fundamentals alone would have supported in the past. As current tax-
exempt rates are at historically low levels, we will carefully
continue to monitor business conditions. Should signs of a renewed,
sustainable economic recovery appear, we will adopt a more defensive
portfolio strategy in an effort to preserve recent gains in the
Fund's net asset value. As we focused on further enchancing the
Fund's current high level of coupon income, we purchased lower-rated
investment-grade issues whenever they were attractively priced.
Recently, many corporate-backed municipal bond issues have come
under considerable pressure, creating a historically attractive
investment opportunity. The addition of these higher-yielding issues
should help the Fund continue to provide its current dividend going
forward. However, we were able to maintain the Fund's historically
high credit quality profile. At October 31, 2002, 83.1% of the
Fund's holdings were insured and rated AAA by at least one of the
major rating agencies.

Throughout the period, the Fund's borrowing costs remained in the 1%
- 1.25% range. These attractive funding levels, in combination with
a steep tax-exempt yield curve, generated a material income benefit
to the Fund's Common Stock shareholders. Further declines in the
Fund's borrowing costs would require significant easing of monetary
policy by the Federal Reserve Board. We expect the Fund's short-term
borrowing costs to remain near current levels for the remainder of
this year and into 2003. However, should the spread between short-
term and long-term interest rates narrow, the benefits of leverage
will decline and, as a result, reduce the yield paid on the Fund's
Common Stock. (For a more complete explanation of the risks and
benefits of leveraging, see page 1 of this report to shareholders.)

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Significant Accounting Policies:
MuniYield Michigan Insured Fund, Inc. (the "Fund") is registered
under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as a non-diversified,
closed-end management investment company. The Fund's financial
statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America, which may
require the use of management accruals and estimates. The Fund
determines and makes available for publication the net asset value
of its Common Stock on a weekly basis. The Fund's Common Stock is
listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol MIY. The
following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed
by the Fund.

(a) Valuation of investments--Municipal bonds are traded primarily
in the over-the-counter markets and are valued at the most recent
bid price or yield equivalent as obtained by the Fund's pricing
service from dealers that make markets in such securities. Financial
futures contracts and options thereon, which are traded on
exchanges, are valued at their closing prices as of the close of
such exchanges. Options written or purchased are valued at the last
sale price in the case of exchange-traded options. In the case of
options traded in the over-counter-market, valuation is the last
asked price (options written) or the last bid price (options
purchased). Securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or
less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.
Securities and assets for which market quotations are not readily
available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or
under the direction of the Board of Directors of the Fund, including
valuations furnished by a pricing service retained by the Fund,
which may utilize a matrix system for valuations. The procedures of
the pricing service and its valuations are reviewed by the officers
of the Fund under the general supervision of the Board of Directors.

(b) Derivative financial instruments--The Fund may engage in various
portfolio investment strategies to increase or decrease the level of
risk to which the Fund is exposed more quickly and efficiently than
transactions in other types of instruments. Losses may arise due to
changes in the value of the contract or if the counterparty does not
perform under the contract.

* Financial futures contracts--The Fund may purchase or sell
financial futures contracts and options on such futures contracts
for the purpose of hedging the market risk on existing securities or
the intended purchase of securities. Futures contracts are contracts
for delayed delivery of securities at a specific future date and at
a specific price or yield. Upon entering into a contract, the Fund
deposits and maintains as collateral such initial margin as required
by the exchange on which the transaction is effected. Pursuant to
the contract, the Fund agrees to receive from or pay to the broker
an amount of cash equal to the daily fluctuation in value of the
contract. Such receipts or payments are known as variation margin
and are recorded by the Fund as unrealized gains or losses. When the
contract is closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal
to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it
was opened and the value at the time it was closed.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (concluded)


* Options--The Fund is authorized to write covered call options and
purchase put options. When the Fund writes an option, an amount
equal to the premium received by the Fund is reflected as an asset
and an equivalent liability. The amount of the liability is
subsequently marked to market to reflect the current market value of
the option written.

When a security is purchased or sold through an exercise of an
option, the related premium paid (or received) is added to (or
deducted from) the basis of the security acquired, or deducted from
(or added to) the proceeds of the security sold. When an option
expires (or the Fund enters into a closing transaction), the Fund
realizes a gain or loss on the option to the extent of the premiums
received or paid (or gain or loss to the extent the cost of the
closing transaction exceeds the premium paid or received).

Written and purchased options are non-income producing investments.

(c) Income taxes--It is the Fund's policy to comply with the
requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated
investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its
taxable income to its shareholders. Therefore, no Federal income tax
provision is required.

(d) Security transactions and investment income--Security
transactions are recorded on the dates the transactions are entered
into (the trade dates). Realized gains and losses on security
transactions are determined on the identified cost basis. Interest
income is recognized on the accrual basis. As required, effective
November 1, 2001, the Fund has adopted the provisions of the AICPA
Audit and Accounting Guide for Investment Companies and began
amortizing all premiums and discounts on debt securities. The
cumulative effect of this accounting change had no impact on total
net assets of the Fund, but resulted in a $76,757 increase in cost
of securities (which, in turn, resulted in a corresponding $76,757
decrease in net unrealized appreciation and a corresponding $76,757
increase in undistributed net investment income), based on
securities held by the Fund as of October 31, 2001.

The effect of this change for the year ended October 31, 2002 was to
increase net investment income by $47,799, decrease net unrealized
depreciation by $115,654 and increase net realized capital losses by
$8,902. The statement of changes in net assets and financial
highlights for prior periods have not been restated to reflect this
change in presentation.

(e) Dividends and distributions--Dividends from net investment
income are declared and paid monthly. Distributions of capital gains
are recorded on the ex-dividend dates.

(f) Change in financial statement classification for Auction Market
Preferred Stock ("AMPS")--In accordance with the provisions of the
Financial Accounting Standards Board's Emerging Issues Task Force D-
98 ("EITF D-98"), "Classification and Measurement of Redeemable
Securities," effective for the current period, the Fund has
reclassified its AMPS outside of permanent equity in the Net Assets
section of the Statement of Net Assets. In addition, dividends to
Preferred Stock shareholders are now classified as a component of
the "Net Increase in Net Assets Resulting from Operations" on the
Statements of Operations and Changes in Net Assets and as a
component of the "Total from investment operations" in the Financial
Highlights. Prior year amounts presented have been reclassified to
conform to this period's presentation. The application of EITF D-98
related entirely to presentation and had no impact on net asset
value or the allocation of net investment income or net realized
capital gains or losses to Common Stock shareholders.

(g) Reclassification--Accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States of America require that certain components of net
assets be adjusted to reflect permanent differences between
financial and tax reporting. Accordingly, the current year's
permanent book/tax differences of $3,062,807 have been reclassified
between paid-in capital in excess of par and accumulated net
realized capital losses and $52,026 has been reclassified between
accumulated net realized capital losses and undistributed net
investment income. These reclassifications have no effect on net
assets or net asset value per share.


2. Investment Advisory Agreement and
Transactions with Affiliates:
The Fund has entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement with Fund
Asset Management, L.P. ("FAM"). The general partner of FAM is
Princeton Services, Inc. ("PSI"), an indirect, wholly-owned
subsidiary of Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc. ("ML & Co."), which is the
limited partner.

FAM is responsible for the management of the Fund's portfolio and
provides the necessary personnel, facilities, equipment and certain
other services necessary to the operations of the Fund. For such
services, the Fund pays a monthly fee at an annual rate of .50% of
the Fund's average weekly net assets, including proceeds from the
issuance of Preferred Stock.

For the year ended October 31, 2002, the Fund reimbursed FAM $15,287
for certain accounting services.

Certain officers and/or directors of the Fund are officers and/or
directors of FAM, PSI, and/or ML & Co.


3. Investments:
Purchases and sales of investments, excluding short-term securities,
for the year ended October 31, 2002 were $134,704,413 and
$139,319,924, respectively.

Net realized gains (losses) for the year ended October 31, 2002 and
net unrealized gains (losses) as of October 31, 2002 were as
follows:

                                     Realized        Unrealized
                                  Gains (Losses)   Gains (Losses)

Long-term investments             $  2,819,763     $ 31,438,220
Financial futures contracts        (4,528,305)        (662,812)
                                  ------------     ------------
Total                             $(1,708,542)     $ 30,775,408
                                  ============     ============


As of October 31, 2002, net unrealized appreciation for Federal
income tax purposes aggregated $31,553,875, of which $31,697,125
related to appreciated securities and $143,250 related to
depreciated securities. The aggregate cost of investments at October
31, 2002 for Federal income tax purposes was $384,939,223.


4. Stock Transactions:
The Fund is authorized to issue 200,000,000 shares of stock,
including Preferred Stock, par value $.10 per share, all of which
were initially classified as Common Stock. The Board of Directors is
authorized, however, to reclassify any unissued shares of stock
without approval of holders of Common Stock.

Common Stock
Shares issued and outstanding during the years ended October 31,
2002 and October 31, 2001 remained constant.

Preferred Stock
AMPS are redeemable shares of Preferred Stock of the Fund, with a
par value of $.05 per share and a liquidation preference of $25,000
per share plus accrued and unpaid dividends, that entitle their
holders to receive cash dividends at an annual rate that may vary
for the successive dividend periods. The yields in effect at October
31, 2002 were as follows: Series A, 1.65%, Series B, 1.65% and
Series C, 1.65%.

Shares issued and outstanding during the years ended October 31,
2002 and October 31, 2001 remained constant.

The Fund pays commissions to certain broker-dealers at the end of
each auction at an annual rate ranging from .25% to .375%,
calculated on the proceeds of each auction. For the year ended
October 31, 2002, Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith
Incorporated, an affiliate of FAM, earned $210,914 as commissions.

5. Distributions to Shareholders:
On November 7, 2002, a tax-exempt income dividend of $.079500
was declared. The dividend was paid on November 27, 2002, to
shareholders of record on November 14, 2002.

The tax character of distributions paid during the fiscal years
ended October 31, 2002 and October 31, 2001 was as follows:

                                    10/31/2002       10/31/2001
Distributions paid from:
   Tax-exempt income             $  18,972,649    $  19,127,758
                                 -------------    -------------
Total distributions              $  18,972,649    $  19,127,758
                                 =============    =============


As of October 31, 2002, the components of accumulated earnings
on a tax basis were as follows:

Undistributed tax-exempt income--net              $   3,593,523
Undistributed long-term capital gains--net                   --
                                                  -------------
Total undistributed earnings--net                     3,593,523
Capital loss carryforward                         (14,795,324)*
Unrealized gains--net                              26,796,027**
                                                  -------------
Total accumulated earnings--net                   $  15,594,226
                                                  =============


*On October 31, 2002, the Fund had a net capital loss carryforward
of $14,795,324, of which $746,473 expires in 2003; $1,458,638
expires in 2006; $3,974,932 expires in 2007; $7,490,629 expires in
2008 and $1,124,652 expires in 2010. This amount will be available
to offset like amounts of any future taxable gains.
**The difference between book-basis and tax-basis net unrealized
gains is attributable primarily to the tax deferral of losses on
straddles, the realization for tax purposes of unrealized gains
(losses) on certain futures contracts and the difference between
book and tax amortization methods for premiums and discounts on
fixed income securities.

MANAGED DIVIDEND POLICY

The Fund's dividend policy is to distribute all or a portion of its
net investment income to its shareholders on a monthly basis. In
order to provide shareholders with a more consistent yield to the
current trading price of Common Stock of the Fund, the Fund may at
times pay out less than the entire amount of net investment income
earned in any particular month and may at times in any month pay out
such accumulated but undistributed income in addition to net
investment income earned in that month. As a result, the dividends
paid by the Fund for any particular month may be more or less than
the amount of net investment income earned by the Fund during such
month. The Fund's current accumulated but undistributed net
investment income, if any, is disclosed in the Statement of Net
Assets, which comprises part of the Financial Information included
in this report.
