This security is fair valued by the Advisor’s Pricing

as such are valued at $218,341,250 or 97.6% of net assets.

value between the foreign markets’ close and the New York
Stock Exchange close exceeding a certain threshold. On days
when this threshold is not exceeded, these securities are
typically valued at the last sale price on the exchange on
which they are principally traded.

(a)
Securities are issued in U.S. dollars unless otherwise
indicated in the security description.
(b)
This security is fair valued by the Advisor’s Pricing
Committee in accordance with procedures approved by the
Trust’s Board of Trustees, and in accordance with provisions
of the Investment Company Act of 1940 and rules
thereunder, as amended. At March 31, 2025, securities noted
as such are valued at $153,755,714 or 98.7% of net assets.
Certain of these securities are fair valued using a factor
provided by a third-party pricing service due to the change in
value between the foreign markets’ close and the New York
Stock Exchange close exceeding a certain threshold. On days
when this threshold is not exceeded, these securities are
typically valued at the last sale price on the exchange on
which they are principally traded.
(c)
All or a portion of this security is on loan for securities
lending. The remaining contractual maturity of all of the
securities lending transactions is overnight and continuous.
The aggregate value of such securities is $17,626,506 and the
total value of the collateral held by the Fund, including for
securities sold and pending settlement, is $18,913,657.

(a)
Securities are issued in U.S. dollars unless otherwise
indicated in the security description.
(b)
This security is fair valued by the Advisor’s Pricing
Committee in accordance with procedures approved by the
Trust’s Board of Trustees, and in accordance with provisions
of the Investment Company Act of 1940 and rules
thereunder, as amended. At March 31, 2025, securities noted
as such are valued at $62,821,412 or 97.5% of net assets.
Certain of these securities are fair valued using a factor
provided by a third-party pricing service due to the change in
value between the foreign markets’ close and the New York
Stock Exchange close exceeding a certain threshold. On days
when this threshold is not exceeded, these securities are
typically valued at the last sale price on the exchange on
which they are principally traded.
(c)
Rate shown reflects yield as of March 31, 2025.

as such are valued at $5,456,922 or 86.8% of net assets.
Certain of these securities are fair valued using a factor
provided by a third-party pricing service due to the change in

securities sold and pending settlement, is $104,302.
(h)
This security’s value was determined using significant
unobservable inputs (see Valuation Inputs in the Additional
Information section).

typically valued at the last sale price on the exchange on
which they are principally traded.

Valuation Inputs
The Funds are subject to fair value accounting standards that define fair value, establish the framework for measuring fair value and provide a three-level hierarchy for fair valuation based upon the inputs to the valuation as of the measurement date. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
• Level 1 – Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical investments.
• Level 2 – Level 2 inputs are observable inputs, either directly or indirectly. (Quoted prices for similar investments, valuations based on interest rates and yield curves, or valuations derived from observable market data.)
• Level 3 – Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs that may reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the investment.
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those investments.
