Valuation of Securities:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Securities in which the Fund invests are valued at amortized cost.  Under the amortized cost method, a portfolio instrument is valued at cost and any premium or discount is amortized on a constant basis to maturity. Amortization of premium and accretion of market discount are charged to income.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Repurchase Agreements:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Fund may purchase securities from financial institutions subject to the seller's agreement to repurchase and the Fund's agreement to resell the securities at par.  The investment advisor only enters into repurchase agreements with financial institutions that are primary dealers and deemed to be creditworthy by the investment advisor in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees.  Securities purchased subject to repurchase agreements are maintained with a custodian of the Fund and must have, at all times, an aggregate market value plus accrued interest greater than or equal to the repurchase price.  If the market value of the underlying securities falls below 102% of the value of the repurchase price, the Fund will require the seller to deposit additional collateral by the next business day.  In the event that the seller under the agreement defaults on its repurchase obligation or fails to deposit sufficient collateral, the Fund has the contractual right, subject to the requirements of applicable bankruptcy and insolvency laws, to sell the underlying securities and may claim any resulting loss from the seller.

Fair Valuation Process - This team is composed of one or more representatives from each of the (i) Trust, (ii) administrator, and (iii) advisor and/or sub-advisor.  The applicable investments are valued collectively via inputs from each of these groups.  For example, fair value determinations are required for the following securities:  (i) securities for which market quotations are insufficient or not readily available on a particular business day (including securities for which there is a short and temporary lapse in the provision of a price by the regular pricing source), (ii) securities for which, in the judgment of the advisor or sub-advisor, the prices or values available do not represent the fair value of the instrument.  Factors which may cause the advisor or sub-advisor to make such a judgment include, but are not limited to, the following: only a bid price or an asked price is available; the spread between bid and asked prices is substantial; the frequency of sales; the thinness of the market; the size of reported trades; and actions of the securities markets, such as the suspension or limitation of trading; (iii) securities determined to be illiquid; (iv) securities with respect to which an event that will affect the value thereof has occurred since the closing prices were established on the principal exchange on which they are traded, but prior to the Fund’s calculation of its NAV.  Specifically, interests in commodity pools or managed futures pools are valued on a daily basis by reference to the closing market prices of each futures contract or other asset held by a pool, as adjusted for pool expenses.  Restricted or illiquid securities, such as private placements or non-traded securities are valued via inputs from the advisor or sub-advisor based upon the current bid for the security from two or more independent dealers or other parties reasonably familiar with the facts and circumstances of the security (who should take into consideration all relevant factors as may be appropriate under the circumstances).  If the advisor or sub-advisor is unable to obtain a current bid from such independent dealers or other independent parties, the fair value team shall determine the fair value of such security using the following factors: (i) the type of security; (ii) the cost at date of purchase; (iii) the size and nature of the Fund's holdings; (iv) the discount from market value of unrestricted securities of the same class at the time of purchase and subsequent thereto; (v) information as to any transactions or offers with respect to the security; (vi) the nature and duration of restrictions on disposition of the security and the existence of any registration rights; (vii) how the yield of the security compares to similar securities of companies of similar or equal creditworthiness; (viii) the level of recent trades of similar or comparable securities; (ix) the liquidity characteristics of the security; (x) current market conditions; and (xi) the market value of any securities into which the security is convertible or exchangeable.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Fund utilizes various methods to measure the fair value of all of its investments on a recurring basis.  GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation methods. The three levels of input are:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that the Funds have the ability to access.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Level  2 – Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.  These inputs may include quoted prices for the identical instrument in an inactive market, prices for similar instruments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, default rates and similar data.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Level  3 – Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, to the extent relevant observable inputs are not available, representing the Funds own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability, and would be based on the best information available.

The availability of observable inputs can vary from security to security and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of security, whether the security is new and not yet established in the marketplace, the liquidity of markets, and other characteristics particular to the security. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment.  Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy.  In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls in its entirety, is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.  The following tables summarize the inputs used as of August 31, 2014 for the Fund’s assets measured at fair value:
