As of March 31, 2022       Highland/iBoxx Senior Loan ETF

 

(a)

Senior loans (also called bank loans, leveraged loans, or floating rate loans) in which the Highland/iBoxx Senior Loan ETF (the “Fund”) invests generally pay interest at rates which are periodically determined by reference to a base lending rate plus a spread. (Unless otherwise denoted as a fixed rate loan, all senior loans carry a variable interest rate.) These base lending rates are generally (i) the Prime Rate offered by one or more major United States banks, (ii) the lending rate offered by one or more European banks such as the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or (iii) the Certificate of Deposit rate. As of March 31, 2022, the LIBOR USD 1 Month, LIBOR USD 3 Month and LIBOR USD 6 Month rates were 0.452%, 0.962% and 1.470%, respectively. Senior loans, while exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), contain certain restrictions on resale and cannot be sold publicly. Senior secured floating rate loans often require prepayments from excess cash flow or permit the borrower to repay at its election. The degree to which borrowers repay, whether as a contractual requirement or at their election, cannot be predicted with accuracy and the actual remaining maturity may be substantially less than the stated maturity shown.

(b)

All or a portion of this position has not settled. Full contract rates do not take effect until settlement date.

(c)

The rate shown is the 7-day effective yield as of March 31, 2022.

NOTES TO INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO (unaudited)

 

As of March 31, 2022       Highland/iBoxx Senior Loan ETF

Organization

Highland Funds I (the “Trust”) was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on February 28, 2006. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The Trust is currently comprised of three funds, each of which is non-diversified. The financial statements herein are those of the Highland/iBoxx Senior Loan ETF (the “Fund”). The Fund is a non-diversified exchange-traded fund (“ETF”). The financial statements of the remaining funds of the Trust are presented separately.

Valuation of Investments

In computing the Fund’s net assets attributable to shares, securities with readily available market quotations on the New York Stock Exchange, National Association of Securities Dealers Automatic Quotation System (“NASDAQ”) or other nationally recognized exchange use the closing quotations on the respective exchange for valuation of those securities. Securities for which there are no readily available market quotations will be valued pursuant to policies adopted by the Fund’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”). Typically, such securities will be valued at the mean between the most recently quoted bid and ask prices provided by the principal market makers. If there is more than one such principal market maker, the value shall be the average of such means. Securities without a sale price or quotations from principal market makers on the valuation day may be priced by an independent pricing service. Investments in mutual funds are valued at their respective net asset values as determined by those mutual funds each business day. Generally, the Fund’s loan and bond positions are not traded on exchanges and consequently are valued based on a mean of the bid and ask price from the third-party pricing services or broker-dealer sources that Highland Capital Management Fund Advisors, L.P. (the “Investment Adviser”) has determined to have the capability to provide appropriate pricing services and have been approved by the Board.

Securities for which market quotations are not readily available, for which the Fund has determined the price received from a pricing service or broker-dealer is “stale” or otherwise does not represent fair value (such as when events materially affecting the value of securities occur between the time when market price is determined and calculation of the Fund’s NAV), will be valued by the Fund at fair value, as determined by the Board or its designee in good faith in accordance with procedures approved by the Board, taking into account factors reasonably determined to be relevant, including, among other things: (i) the fundamental analytical data relating to the investment; (ii) the nature and duration of restrictions on disposition of the securities; and (iii) an evaluation of the forces that influence the market in which these securities are purchased and sold. In these cases, the Fund’s NAV will reflect the affected portfolio securities’ fair value as determined in the judgment of the Board or its designee instead of being determined by the market. Determination of fair value is uncertain because it involves subjective judgments and estimates.

There can be no assurance that the Fund’s valuation of a security will not differ from the amount that it realizes upon the sale of such security. Those differences could have a material impact on the Fund.

The NAV shown in the Fund’s financial statements may vary from the NAV published by the Fund as of the end of the reporting period because portfolio securities transactions are accounted for on the trade date (rather than the day following the trade date) for financial statement purposes.

Fair Value Measurements

The Fund has performed an analysis of all existing investments to determine the significance and character of all inputs to their fair value determination. The levels of fair value inputs used to measure the Fund’s investments are characterized into a fair value hierarchy. Where inputs for an asset or liability fall into more than one level in the fair value hierarchy, the investment is classified in its entirety based on the lowest level input that is significant to that investment’s valuation. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:

 

Level 1    Quoted unadjusted prices for identical instruments in active markets to which the Fund has access at the date of measurement;
Level 2 —    Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, but are valued based on executed trades; broker quotations that constitute an executable price; and alternative pricing sources supported by observable inputs are classified within Level 2. Level 2 inputs are either directly or indirectly observable for the asset in connection with market data at the measurement date; and
Level 3    Model derived valuations in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable. In certain cases, investments classified within Level 3 may include securities for which the Fund has obtained indicative quotes from broker-dealers that do not necessarily represent prices the broker may be willing to trade on, as such quotes can be subject to material management judgment. Unobservable inputs are those inputs that reflect the Fund’s own assumptions that market participants would use to price the asset or liability based on the best available information.

The Investment Adviser has established policies and procedures, as described above and approved by the Board, to ensure that valuation methodologies for investments and financial instruments that are categorized within all levels of the fair value hierarchy are fair and consistent. A Pricing Committee has been established to provide oversight of the valuation policies, processes and procedures, and is comprised of personnel from the Investment Adviser. The Pricing Committee meets monthly to review the proposed valuations for investments and financial instruments and is responsible for evaluating the overall fairness and consistent application of established policies.

As of March 31, 2022, the Fund’s investments consisted of senior loans and cash equivalent. The fair value of the Fund’s loans is generally based on quotes received from brokers or independent pricing services. Loans with quotes that are based on actual trades with a sufficient level of activity on or near the measurement date are classified as Level 2 assets. Loans that are priced using quotes derived from implied values, indicative bids, or a limited number of actual trades are classified as Level 3 assets because the inputs used by the brokers and pricing services to derive the values are not readily observable.

At the end of each calendar quarter, management evaluates the Level 2 and 3 assets and liabilities for changes in liquidity, including but not limited to: whether a broker is willing to execute at the quoted price, the depth and consistency of prices from third party services, and the existence of contemporaneous, observable trades in the market. Additionally, management evaluates the Level 1 and 2 assets and liabilities on a quarterly basis for changes in listings or delistings on national exchanges.

Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of investments that do not have a readily available market value, the fair value of the Fund’s investments may fluctuate from period to period. Additionally, the fair value of investments may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market existed for such investments and may differ materially from the values the Fund may ultimately realize. Further, such investments may be subject to legal and other restrictions on resale or otherwise less liquid than publicly traded securities.
