NOTE 2:

SECURITY VALUATION:

Equity securities that are traded on a national or foreign securities exchange and over-the-counter securities listed in the NASDAQ National Market System are valued a the last reported sales price or official closing price on the principal exchange on which they are traded on the date of determination as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), usually 4:00 p.m. Eastern time, each day that the NYSE is open for business. Foreign equity securities traded on a foreign securities exchange are subject to fair value pricing when appropriate, using valuations provided by an independent pricing service. Securities for which no sale was reported on the valuation date are valued at the mean between the last reported bid and asked prices. Over-the-counter securities not listed on the NASDAQ National Market System are valued at the mean of the current bid and asked prices. For Funds other than the Sentinel U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund, fixed-income securities with original maturities of greater than 60 days left to maturity, are valued on the basis of valuations provided by and independent pricing service. The mean between the bid and asked prices is generally used for valuation purposes.


Short-term securities with original maturities of less than 60 days are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. The value of short-term securities originally purchased with maturities greater than 60 days is determined based on an amortized value to par when they reach 60 days or less remaining to maturity. Securities held in the Sentinel U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund are valued at amortized cost regardless of days left to maturity, which approximates market value, in accordance with the terms of a rule adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The amortized cost method values a security at cost on the date of purchase and thereafter assumes a constant amortization to maturity of any discount or premium. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available, or whose values have been materially affected by events occurring before the Fund’s pricing time but after the close of the securities’ primary markets, will be fair valued under procedures adopted by the Funds’ board. The board has delegated this responsibility to a pricing committee, subject to its review and supervision.

NOTE 3:

     In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Statement No. 157 –Fair Value Measurements, that defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The Statement applies to fair value measurements that are already required or permitted by other accounting standards and is intended to increase consistency of those measurements. The Statement applies broadly to securities and other types of assets and liabilities. FASB 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Statement also establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes inputs or assumptions to valuation techniques. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

  • Level 1 – 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, etc.).
  • Level 3 – Significant unobservable inputs (including the Sentinel Pricing Committee’s 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, money market securities are normally valued using amortized cost, in accordance with rules under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. Generally, amortized cost approximates the current fair value of a security, but since this value is not obtained from a quoted price in an active market, such securities are reflected as Level 2. There have been no significant changes in valuation techniques during the last fiscal period. The fair value measurements as of August 31, 2008 were as follows:


            Other             
    Quoted Prices in Active    Significant         Significant
