Valuation of Investments
     
 
The following is a summary of the Fund’s pricing procedures. It is intended to be a general discussion and may not necessarily reflect all the pricing procedures followed by the Fund. Equity securities, including common stocks and real estate investment trusts (“REITS”) that are traded on a national securities exchange, except those listed on the NASDAQ Global Market®, NASDAQ Global Select Market® and the NASDAQ Capital Market® exchanges (collectively “NASDAQ”), are valued at the last reported sale price on that exchange on which the security is principally traded. Securities traded on NASDAQ will be valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price (“NOCP”). If, on a particular day, an exchange traded or NASDAQ security does not trade, then the mean between the most recent bid and asked prices will be used. All equity securities that are not traded on a listed exchange are valued at the last sale price in the over-the-counter market. If a non-exchange traded equity security does not trade on a particular day, then the mean between the last quoted closing bid and asked prices will be used. To the extent that these securities are actively traded and valuation adjustments are not applied, they are categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
 
               
 
Exchange-traded funds and closed-end funds are valued at the last reported sale price on the exchange on which the security is principally traded. If, on a particular day, an exchange-traded fund does not trade, then the mean between the most recent quoted bid and asked prices will be used. To the extent these securities are actively traded and valuation adjustments are not applied, they are categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

Investments in registered open-end investment companies (including money market funds), other than exchange-traded funds, are valued at their reported net asset values (“NAV”).

Exchange traded options are valued at the composite mean price, which calculates the mean of the highest bid price and lowest ask prices across the exchanges where the options are principally traded. If the composite mean price is not available, models such as Black-Scholes can be used to value the options. On the last trading day prior to expiration, expiring options may be priced at intrinsic value. These securities are categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price on the exchange on which they are principally traded. The settlement price is the average of the prices at which a future contract trades immediately before the close of trading for the day. Equity swap contract prices are determined by using the same methods used to price the underlying security. These securities are categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

 
 
All other assets of the Fund are valued in such a manner as the Valuation Committee under the supervision of the Board of Trustees, in good faith, deems appropriate to reflect their fair value.
 
             
 
The Fund has adopted authoritative fair value accounting standards which established an authoritative definition of fair value and set out a hierarchy for measuring fair value. These standards require additional disclosures about the various inputs and valuation techniques used to develop the measurements of fair value, a discussion in changes in valuation techniques and related inputs during the period and expanded disclosure of valuation levels for major security types. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
 
             
 
Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Fund has 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 on 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 Fund’s 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 inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
 

  The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s securities by level within the fair value hierarchy as of January 31, 2019:

(b)
There were no changes in the Registrant's internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 30a-3(d) under the 1940 Act) (17 CFR 270.30a-3(d)) that occurred during the Registrant's last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Registrant's internal control over financial reporting.

Separate certifications for each principal executive officer and principal financial officer of the Registrant as required by Rule 30a-2(a) under the 1940 Act (17 CFR 270.30a-2(a)) are filed herewith.
