NOTES TO PORTFOLIO OF INVESTMENTS – January 31, 2021 – (unaudited)

Note 1. Basis for consolidation for the AIG Commodity Strategy Cayman Fund, Ltd.

The AIG Commodity Strategy Cayman Fund, Ltd. (the “Commodity Strategy Subsidiary”), a Cayman Islands exempted company, was incorporated on October 20, 2008, and is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Commodity Strategy Fund. The Commodity Strategy Subsidiary commenced operations on May 22, 2009 and was organized as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Commodity Strategy Fund in order to effect certain investments on behalf of the Commodity Strategy Fund consistent with the investment objectives and policies in the Commodity Strategy Fund’s prospectus and statement of additional information. With respect to its investments, the Commodity Strategy Subsidiary will generally be subject to the same fundamental, non-fundamental and certain other investment restrictions as the Commodity Strategy Fund; however, the Commodity Strategy Subsidiary (unlike the Commodity Strategy Fund) may invest without limitation in commodity-linked swap agreements and other commodity-linked derivative instruments that may otherwise be limited if purchased by the Commodity Strategy Fund due to federal tax requirements relating to qualifying income. The Commodity Strategy Fund and Commodity Strategy Subsidiary may test for compliance with certain investment restrictions on a consolidated basis, except that with respect to its investment in certain securities that may involve leverage, the Commodity Strategy Subsidiary will comply with asset segregation or “earmarking” requirements to the same extent as the Commodity Strategy Fund. The Commodity Strategy Fund may invest up to 25% of its assets in the Commodity Strategy Subsidiary. As of January 31, 2021, net assets of the Commodity Strategy Fund were $26,201,969 of which approximately $5,066,832, or approximately 19.3% represented the Commodity Strategy Fund’s ownership of all issued shares and voting rights of the Commodity Strategy Subsidiary.

Note 2. Security Valuation:

In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), the Funds disclose the fair value of their investments in a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure the fair value. In accordance with GAAP, fair value is defined as the price that the Funds would receive upon selling an asset or transferring a liability in a timely transaction to an independent third party in the principal or most advantageous market. GAAP establishes a three-tier hierarchy to provide more transparency around the inputs used to measure fair value and to establish classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk. Inputs may be observable or unobservable. Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The three-tiers are as follows:

Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

Level 2 - Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, referenced indices, quoted prices in inactive markets, adjusted quoted prices in active markets, adjusted quoted prices on foreign equity securities that were adjusted in accordance with pricing procedures approved by the Board of Trustees (the “Board”), etc.)

Level 3 - Significant unobservable inputs (includes inputs that reflect the Funds’ own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the security, developed based on the best information available under the circumstances)


Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned Level within the hierarchy. The methodology used for valuing investments is not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those investments and the determination of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and consideration of factors specific to each security.

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 recently issued 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 summary of the Funds’ assets and liabilities classified in the fair value hierarchy as of January 31, 2021 is reported on a schedule at the end of each Fund’s Portfolio of Investments.

Stocks are generally valued based upon closing sales prices reported on recognized securities exchanges on which the securities are principally traded and are generally categorized as Level 1. Stocks listed on the NASDAQ are valued using the NASDAQ Official Closing Price (“NOCP”). Generally, the NOCP will be the last sale price unless the reported trade for the stock is outside the range of the bid/ask price. In such cases, the NOCP will be normalized to the nearer of the bid or ask price. For listed securities having no sales reported and for unlisted securities, such securities will be valued based upon the last reported bid price.

As of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), securities traded primarily on security exchanges outside the United States are valued at the last sale price on such exchanges on the day of valuation, or if there is no sale on the day of valuation, at the last-reported bid price. If a security’s price is available from more than one exchange, the Funds use the exchange that is the primary market for the security. Such securities are generally categorized as Level 1. However, depending on the foreign market, closing prices may be up to 15 hours old when they are used to price a Fund’s shares, and a Fund may determine that certain closing prices do not reflect the fair value of the security. This determination will be based on the review of a number of factors, including developments in foreign markets, the performance of U.S. securities markets, and the performance of instruments trading in U.S. markets that represent foreign securities and baskets of foreign securities. If a Fund determines that closing prices do not reflect the fair value of the securities, the Fund will adjust the previous closing prices in accordance with pricing procedures approved by the Board to reflect what it believes to be the fair value of the securities as of the close of regular trading on the NYSE. The Funds may also fair value securities in other situations, for example, when a particular foreign market is closed but a Fund is open. For foreign equity securities and foreign equity futures contracts, the Funds use an outside pricing service to provide it with closing market prices and information used for adjusting those prices, and when so adjusted, such securities and futures are generally categorized as Level 2.

Bonds, debentures and other debt securities are valued at evaluated bid prices obtained for the day of valuation from a Board-approved pricing service and are generally categorized as Level 2. The pricing services may use valuation models or matrix pricing which considers information with respect to comparable bond and note transactions, quotations from bond dealers, or by reference to other securities that are considered comparable in such characteristics as rating, interest rate, maturity date, option adjusted spread models, prepayments projections, interest rate spreads, and yield curves to determine current value. If a price is unavailable from a Board-approved pricing service, the securities may be priced at the mean of two independent quotes obtained from brokers.

Investments in registered investment companies that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the end of day net asset value per share. Investments in registered investment companies that trade on an exchange are valued at the last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded. Investments in registered investment companies are generally categorized as Level 1.

Futures contracts traded on national securities exchanges are valued at the quoted daily settlement price established by the exchange on which they trade reported by a Board-approved pricing service, and are generally categorized as Level 1. Option contracts traded on national securities exchanges are valued at the mean of the last bid and ask price reported by a Board-approved pricing service as of the close of the exchange on which they are traded, and are generally categorized as Level 1.

Option contracts traded in the over-the-counter (“OTC”) market are valued at the mid valuation provided by a Board-approved pricing service, and are generally categorized as Level 2. Swap contracts traded on national securities exchanges are valued at the closing price of the exchange on which they are traded or if a closing price of the exchange is not available, the swap will be valued using a mid valuation provided by a Board-approved pricing service, and are generally categorized as Level 2. Swap contracts traded over the counter are valued at a mid valuation provided by a Board-approved pricing service, and are generally categorized as Level 2. Forward foreign currency contracts (“forward contracts”) are valued at the 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time forward rate and are generally categorized as Level 2.


Other securities are valued on the basis of last sale or bid price (if a last sale price is not available) which is, in the opinion of the Adviser, the broadest and most representative market, that may be either a securities exchange or OTC market, and are generally categorized as Level 1 or Level 2.

The Board is responsible for the share valuation process and has adopted policies and procedures (the “PRC Procedures”) for valuing the securities and other assets held by the Funds, including procedures for the fair valuation of securities and other assets for which market quotations are not readily available or are unreliable. The PRC Procedures provide for the establishment of a pricing review committee, which is responsible for, among other things, making certain determinations in connection with the Trust’s fair valuation procedures. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or the values of which may be significantly impacted by the occurrence of developments or significant events are generally categorized as Level 3. There is no single standard for making fair value determinations, which may result in prices that vary from those of other funds.

Derivative Instruments:

Futures: During the period, the Commodity Strategy Fund entered into futures transactions for investment purposes in order to provide exposure to commodities. The Small-Cap Quality Fund entered into futures transactions for investment purposes in order to provide exposure to U.S. and non-U.S. equity markets.

A futures contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell a financial instrument at a set price on a future date. Upon entering into a futures transaction, a Fund will be required to segregate an initial margin payment of cash or other liquid securities with the futures commission merchant (the “broker”). Subsequent payments are made or received by a Fund as a result of changes in the value of the contract and/or changes in the value of the initial margin requirement. When a contract is closed, a 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.

The primary risk to a Fund of entering into futures contracts is market risk. Market risk is the risk that there will be an unfavorable change in the interest rate, value or currency rate of the underlying security or securities. Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of the variation margin. There may also be trading restrictions or limitations imposed by an exchange, and government regulations may restrict trading in futures contracts. While a Fund will generally only purchase exchange-traded futures, due to market conditions, there may not always be a liquid secondary market for a futures contract and, as a result, the Fund may be unable to close out its futures contracts at a time which is advantageous. In addition, if a Fund has insufficient cash to meet margin requirements, the Fund may need to sell other investments, including at disadvantageous times. There is generally minimal counterparty credit risk to a Fund since exchange-traded futures contracts are centrally cleared.

Futures contracts outstanding at the end of the period, if any, are reported on a schedule at the end of each Fund’s Portfolio of Investments.

Forward Foreign Currency Contracts: A forward contract is an agreement between two parties to buy or sell currency at a set price on a future date. The market value of the contract will fluctuate with changes in currency exchange rates. The contract is marked-to-market daily using the forward rate and the cumulative change in market value is recorded by a Fund as unrealized appreciation or depreciation. On the settlement date, a Fund records either realized gains or losses 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.

For federal income tax purposes, the Income Explorer Fund has made an election to treat gains and losses from forward foreign currency contracts as capital gains and losses.

Risks to a Fund of entering into forward contracts include counterparty risk, market risk and illiquidity risk. Counterparty risk arises upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts. If the counterparty defaults, a Fund’s loss will generally consist of the net amount of contractual payments that the Fund has not yet received though the Fund’s maximum exposure due to counterparty risk could extend to the notional amount of the contract. Market risk is the risk that the value of the forward contract will depreciate due to unfavorable changes in the exchange rates. These contracts may involve market


risk in excess of the unrealized appreciation or depreciation reported on the Portfolio of Investments. Illiquidity risk arises because the secondary market for forwards may have less liquidity relative to markets for other securities. Currency transactions are also subject to risks different from those of other portfolio transactions. Because currency control is of great importance to the issuing governments and influences economic planning and policy, purchases and sales of currency and related instruments can be adversely affected by government exchange controls, limitations or restrictions on repatriation of currency, and manipulations or exchange restrictions imposed by governments.

Forward foreign currency contracts outstanding at the end of the period, if any, are reported on a schedule at the end of each Fund’s Portfolio of Investments.

Options: During the period, the Commodity Strategy Fund used options contracts to provide exposure to commodities.

An option is a contract conveying a right to buy or sell a financial instrument at a specified price during a stipulated period. When a Fund writes a call or a put option, it receives a premium which is equal to the current market value of the option written. If a Fund purchases a call or a put option, it pays a premium which reflects the current market value of the option. The option position is marked to market daily and its value fluctuates based upon the value of the underlying financial instrument, time to expiration, cost of borrowing funds, and volatility of the value of the underlying financial instrument. If an option which a Fund has written either expires on its stipulated expiration date, or if the Fund enters into a closing purchase transaction, the Fund realizes a gain (or loss if the cost of a closing purchase transaction exceeds the premium received when the option was written) without regard to any unrealized gain or loss on the underlying security, and the liability related to such options is extinguished. If a call option which a Fund has written is exercised, the Fund realizes a gain or loss from the sale of the underlying security and the proceeds from such sale are increased by the premium originally received. If a put option which a Fund has written is exercised, the amount of the premium originally received reduces the cost of the security which the Fund purchased upon exercise of the option. Options may be traded on a national securities exchange or in the OTC market.

Risks to the Funds of entering into option contracts include counterparty risk, market risk and, with respect to OTC options, illiquidity risk. Counterparty risk arises from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts. If the counterparty defaults, the Fund’s loss will consist of the net amount of contractual payments that the Fund has not yet received. Market risk is the risk that there will be an unfavorable change in the value of the underlying securities. There is also the risk a Fund may not be able to enter into a closing transaction because of an illiquid market. In addition, unlisted options are not traded on an exchange and may not be as actively traded as listed options, making the valuation of such securities more difficult. An unlisted option also entails a greater risk that the party on the other side of the option transaction may default, which would make it impossible to close out an unlisted option position in some cases, and profits related to the transaction lost thereby.

Option contracts outstanding at the end of the period, if any, are reported on a schedule at the end of each Fund’s Portfolio of Investments.

 


Swap Contracts: Certain Funds may enter into credit default, interest rate and/or total return swap contracts. Swap contracts are privately negotiated in the OTC market and may be entered into as a bilateral contract or a centrally cleared contract (“centrally cleared swaps”). In a centrally cleared swap, immediately following execution of the swap contract, the swap contract is novated to a central counterparty (the “CCP”) and a Fund faces the CCP through a broker. Upon entering into a centrally cleared swap, a Fund is required to deposit initial margin with the broker in the form of cash or securities in an amount that varies depending on the size and risk profile of the particular swap. Securities deposited as initial margin are designated on the Portfolio of Investments. Unlike a bilateral swap contract, for centrally cleared swaps, a Fund has no credit exposure to the counterparty as the CCP stands between the Fund and the counterparty. Swaps are marked-to-market daily and the changes in value are recorded as an unrealized gain (loss). The daily change in valuation of swap contracts, if any, is recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on swap contracts. When the swap is terminated, a Fund will record a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds from (or cost of) the closing transaction and the Fund’s basis in the contract, if any. Generally, the basis of the contracts is the premium received or paid. Upfront payments and receipts on swap contracts are amortized on a daily basis. Net periodic payments made or received by a Fund are included as part of realized gain (loss).

Total Return Swaps: During the period, the Commodity Strategy Fund used total return swaps for investment purposes in order to provide exposure to commodities.

Total return swaps give a Fund the right to receive the appreciation in the value of a specified security, index or other instrument

in return for a fee paid to the counterparty, which will typically be an agreed upon interest rate. If the underlying asset in a total

return swap declines in value over the term of the swap, a Fund may also be required to pay the dollar value of that decline to the counterparty.

The Fund will generally enter into total return swaps only on a net basis, which means that the two payment streams are netted against each other, with the Fund receiving or paying, as the case may be, only the net amount of the two payments. Payments may be made at the conclusion of a total return swap contract or periodically during its term. Total return swaps normally do not involve the delivery of securities or other underlying assets. Accordingly, the risk of loss with respect to total return swaps is normally limited to the net amount of payments that the Fund is contractually obligated to make. If the counterparty to a total return swap defaults, the Fund’s risk of loss consists of the net discounted amount of payments that the Fund is contractually entitled to receive, if any.

Total return swap contracts outstanding at the end of the period, if any, are reported on a schedule at the end of the Fund’s Portfolio of Investments.

Risks of Entering into Swap Agreements: Risks to a Fund of entering into credit default swaps, total return swaps and interest rate swaps, include credit risk, market risk, counterparty risk, liquidity risk and documentation risk. By entering into swap agreements, a Fund may be exposed to risk of potential loss due to unfavorable changes in interest rates, the price of the underlying security or index, or the underlying referenced asset’s perceived or actual credit, that the counterparty may default on its obligation to perform or the possibility that there is no liquid market for these agreements. There is also the risk that the parties may disagree as to the meaning of contractual terms in the swap agreement. In addition, to the extent that a subadviser does not accurately analyze and predict the underlying economic factors influencing the value of the swap, a Fund may suffer a loss.

Risks of Commodity-Linked Derivatives: Commodity-linked derivatives are derivative instruments, the value of which is primarily linked to the price movement of a commodity, commodity index or commodity futures or option contract. The commodity-linked derivative instruments in which certain of the Funds invest have substantial risks, including risk of loss of a significant portion of their principal value. Commodity-linked derivative instruments may be more volatile and less liquid than the underlying instruments and their value will be affected by the performance of the commodity markets, as well as economic and other regulatory or political developments, overall market movements and other factors. Typically, the return of the commodity-linked swaps will be based on some multiple of the performance of an index. The multiple (or leverage) will magnify the positive and negative return the Fund earns from these swaps as compared to the index.


Master Agreements: Certain Funds that hold derivative instruments and other financial instruments may be a party to ISDA (International Swap and Derivatives Association, Inc.) Master Agreements or similar agreements (“Master Agreements”) with certain counterparties that govern such instruments. Master Agreements may contain provisions regarding, among other things, the parties’ general obligations, representations, agreements, collateral requirements, events of default and early termination. Collateral can be in the form of cash or securities as agreed to by a Fund and applicable counterparty. Collateral requirements are generally determined based on a Fund’s net position with each counterparty. Master Agreements may also include certain provisions that require a Fund to post additional collateral upon the occurrence of certain events, such as when a Fund’s net assets fall below a specified level. In addition, Master Agreements typically specify certain standard termination events, such as failure of a party to pay or deliver, credit support defaults and other events of default. Termination events applicable to a Fund may also occur upon a decline in a Fund’s net assets below a specified level over a certain period of time. Additional termination events applicable to counterparties may occur upon a decline in a counterparty’s long-term and short-term credit ratings below a specified level, or upon a decline in the ratings of a counterparty’s credit support provider. Upon the occurrence of a termination event, the other party may elect to terminate early and cause settlement of all instruments outstanding pursuant to a particular Master Agreement, including the payment of any losses and costs resulting from such early termination, as reasonably determined by the terminating party. Any decision by one or more of a Fund’s counterparties to elect early termination could cause a Fund to accelerate the payment of liabilities, which settlement amounts could be in excess of the amount of assets that are already posted as collateral. Typically, the Master Agreement will permit a single net payment in the event of default. Note, however, that bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against the right of offset in bankruptcy, insolvency or other events. As a result, the early termination with respect to derivative instruments subject to Master Agreements that are in a net liability position could be material to a Fund’s financial statements.
