Investment Valuation – Securities are valued at their fair value. Equity securities that are traded on a national securities exchange, except for those traded on NASDAQ Global Market, NASDAQ Global Select Market and NASDAQ Capital Market exchanges (together, “NASDAQ”), for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the last reported sale price on the national securities exchange on which such securities are principally traded. Equity securities that are traded on NASDAQ are valued using the NASDAQ Official Closing Price (“NOCP”). Equity securities for which there were no transactions on a given day or securities not listed on a national securities exchange are valued at the most recent quoted bid price. Debt securities are valued at the bid price provided by an independent pricing service, which uses valuation methods such as matrix pricing and other analytical pricing models, as well as market transactions and other market inputs. Shares of underlying mutual funds are valued at their respective Net Asset Value (“NAV”). Deposit accounts are valued at acquisition cost, which approximates fair value. Exchange traded funds and closed-end funds are valued at the last reported sale price on the exchange on which the security is principally traded. Securities that are primarily traded on foreign exchanges generally are valued at the last sale price of such securities on their respective exchange. In the case of foreign securities, the occurrence of events after the close of the foreign markets, but prior to the time a Fund’s NAV is calculated, will result in a systematic fair value adjustment to the trading prices of foreign securities provided that there is a movement in the markets that exceeds a threshold established by the Board of Directors (the “Board”) and provided the fair value prices exceed a pre-established confidence level. The Funds will also value foreign securities at fair value using fair valuation procedures approved by the Board in the case of other significant events relating to a particular foreign issuer or market. In such cases, use of fair valuation can reduce an investor’s ability to seek to profit by estimating the Fund’s NAV in advance of the time the NAV is calculated. The Board has retained an independent fair value pricing service to assist in valuing foreign securities held by the Funds. In valuing assets, prices denominated in foreign currencies are converted to U.S. dollar equivalents at the current exchange rate, which approximates fair value. Any securities or other assets for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at their fair value as determined in good faith by the Adviser or a subadviser pursuant to guidelines established by the Board. The Board has appointed a Valuation Committee to assist the Board in its oversight of the Funds’ valuation procedures.

The Funds follow a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) and the Funds’ own market assumptions (unobservable inputs). These inputs are used in determining the value of each Fund’s investments and are summarized in the following fair value hierarchy:

Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities that the Funds have the ability to access
Level 2 — Evaluated prices based on other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, foreign security indices, foreign exchange rates, fair value estimates for foreign securities and changes in benchmark securities indices)
Level 3 — Significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining fair value of investments)

The following is a summary of inputs used to value the Funds’ securities as of September 30, 2021:

Tax Disclosure - Each Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and to make the requisite distributions of income and capital gains to its shareholders sufficient to relieve it from all or substantially all federal income taxes. Therefore, no federal income tax provision has been provided.

The Funds have adopted financial reporting rules regarding recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, as income tax expense on the Statements of Operations. During the period, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties. The Funds have reviewed all open tax years and concluded that there is no effect to any of the Fund’s financial positions or results of operations and no tax liability resulting from unrecognized tax benefits relating to uncertain income tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. The Funds have no examinations in progress.
