Notes to the Schedules of Investments

July 31, 2019 (Unaudited)

 

Investment Valuation

Various inputs are used in determining the value of each Fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in three levels listed below:

 

   

Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets on the measurement date.

 

   

Level 2—Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).

 

   

Level 3—Significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. For example, short-term debt securities may be valued at amortized cost, as long as amortized cost approximates the current fair value of a security, but since the valuation is not obtained from a quoted price in an active market, such securities are reflected as Level 2.

The following is a summary of the valuations as of July 31, 2019 for each Fund based upon the three levels defined above. Please refer to the Schedules of Investments to view equity and debt securities segregated by industry type where applicable.
