THE ALGER FUNDS
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

 

NOTE 1 — General:

 

The Alger Funds (the “Trust”) is an open-end registered investment company organized as a business trust under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The Trust qualifies as an investment company as defined in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification 946 – Financial Services – Investment Companies. The Trust operates as a series company currently offering an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest in eleven series — Alger Capital Appreciation Fund, Alger 35 Fund, Alger Growth & Income Fund, Alger Mid Cap Growth Fund, Alger Mid Cap Focus Fund, Alger Weatherbie Enduring Growth Fund, Alger Weatherbie Specialized Growth Fund, Alger Small Cap Growth Fund, Alger Small Cap Focus Fund, Alger International Focus Fund and Alger Health Sciences Fund (collectively, the “Funds” or individually, each a “Fund”). Alger Capital Appreciation Fund, Alger 35 Fund, Alger Mid Cap Growth Fund, Alger Mid Cap Focus Fund, Alger Weatherbie Enduring Growth Fund, Alger Weatherbie Specialized Growth Fund, Alger Small Cap Growth Fund, Alger Small Cap Focus Fund, Alger International Focus Fund and Alger Health Sciences Fund normally invest primarily in equity securities and each has an investment objective of long-term capital appreciation. Alger Growth & Income Fund also normally invests primarily in equity securities and has an investment objective of both capital appreciation and current income.

 

Each Fund offers one or more of the following share classes: Class A, B, C, I, Y and Z. Class A shares are generally subject to an initial sales charge while Class B and C shares are generally subject to a deferred sales charge. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares eight years after the end of the calendar month in which the order to purchase was accepted. The conversion is completed without the imposition of any sales charges or other fees. Class C shares will automatically convert to Class A shares on the fifth business day of the month following the eighth anniversary of the purchase date of a shareholder’s Class C shares, without the imposition of any sales load, fee or other charge. Class C shares held at certain dealers may not convert to Class A shares or may be converted on a different schedule. At conversion, a proportionate amount of shares representing reinvested dividends and distributions will also be converted into Class A shares. Class I, Y and Z shares are sold to investors without an initial or deferred sales charge. Each class has identical rights to assets and earnings, except that each share class bears the pro rata allocation of the Fund’s expenses other than a class expense (not including advisory or custodial fees or other expenses related to the management of the Fund’s assets).

 

The Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board”) has authorized a partial closing of the Alger Small Cap Focus Fund effective July 31, 2019. Class A, C, I and Z shares are available for purchase by existing shareholders who maintain open accounts and new investors that utilize certain retirement record keeping platforms identified by Fred Alger & Company, LLC, the Fund’s distributor (the “Distributor” or “Alger LLC”). Class I shares are also available for purchase by investors who transact with certain brokers identified by the distributor. Class Y shares remain open to all qualifying investors and Class Y and Class Z Shares are generally subject to a minimum initial investment of $500,000.

 

Alger Weatherbie Enduring Growth Fund launched on December 17, 2021.

NOTE 2 — Significant Accounting Policies:

 

(a)   Investment Valuation: The Funds value their financial instruments at fair value using independent dealers or pricing services under policies approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”). Investments held by the Funds are valued on each day the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) is open, as of the close of the NYSE (normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time).

 

Investments in money market funds and short-term securities held by the Funds having a remaining maturity of sixty days or less are valued at amortized cost which approximates market value.

 

Equity securities, including traded rights, warrants and option contracts for which valuation information is readily available, are valued at the last quoted sales price or official closing price on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded as reported by an independent pricing service. In the absence of quoted sales, such securities are valued at the bid price or, in the absence of a recent bid price, the equivalent as obtained from one or more of the major market makers for the securities to be valued.

 

Securities for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value, as determined in good faith pursuant to procedures established by the Board and described further herein.

 

Securities in which the Funds invest may be traded in foreign markets that close before the close of the NYSE. Developments that occur between the close of the foreign markets and the close of the NYSE may result in adjustments to the closing prices to reflect what the Trust’s investment adviser, pursuant to policies established by the Board, believes to be the fair value of these securities as of the close of the NYSE. The Funds may also fair value securities in other situations, for example, when a particular foreign market is closed but the Funds are open.

 

FASB Accounting Standards Codification 820 – Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”) defines fair value as the price that the Funds would receive upon selling an investment in a timely transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market of the investment. ASC 820 established a three-tier hierarchy to maximize the use of observable market data and minimize the use of unobservable inputs and to establish classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability and may be observable or unobservable. Observable inputs are based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Funds. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Funds’ own assumptions based on the best information available in the circumstances. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized in the three broad Levels listed below.

 

Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical investments

 

Level 2 – significant other observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
- 38 -

THE ALGER FUNDS
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued)

 

Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

 

The Funds’ valuation techniques are generally consistent with either the market or the income approach to fair value. The market approach considers prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets to measure fair value. The income approach converts future amounts to a current, or discounted, single amount. These fair value measurements are determined on the basis of the value indicated by current market expectations about such future events. Inputs for Level 1 include exchange-listed prices and broker quotes in an active market. Inputs for Level 2 include the last trade price in the case of a halted security, an exchange-listed price which has been adjusted for fair value factors, and prices of closely related securities. Additional Level 2 inputs include an evaluated price which is based upon a compilation of observable market information such as spreads for fixed income and preferred securities. Inputs for Level 3 include, but are not limited to, revenue multiples, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) multiples, discount rates, time to exit and the probabilities of success of certain outcomes. Such unobservable market information may be obtained from a company’s financial statements and from industry studies, market data, and market indicators such as benchmarks and indexes. Because of the inherent uncertainty and often limited markets for restricted securities, the valuations assigned to such securities by the Funds may significantly differ from the valuations that would have been assigned by the Funds had there been an active market for such securities.

 

Valuation processes are determined by a Valuation Committee (“Committee”) authorized by the Board and comprised of representatives of the Trust’s investment adviser and officers of the Trust. The Committee reports its fair value determinations and related valuation information to the Board. The Board is responsible for approving the valuation policy and procedures.

 

While Committee meetings are held on an as-needed basis, the Committee generally meets quarterly to review and evaluate the effectiveness of the procedures for making fair value determinations. The Committee considers, among other things, the results of quarterly back testing of the fair value model for foreign securities, pricing comparisons between primary and secondary price sources, the outcome of price challenges put to the Funds’ pricing vendor, and variances between transactional prices and the previous day’s prices.

 

In December 2020, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) adopted Rule 2a-5 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), which is intended to address valuation practices and the role of the board of directors with respect to the fair value of the investments of a registered investment company. Among other things, Rule 2a-5 will permit the Board to designate the Funds’ investment adviser, Fred Alger Management, LLC (“Alger Management” or the “Investment Manager”), to perform the Funds’ fair value determinations, which will be subject to the Board’s oversight and certain reporting and other requirements intended to ensure that the Board receives the information it needs to oversee the Investment Manager’s fair value determinations. Compliance with Rule 2a-5 will not be required until September 2022. The Funds, the Board,

and the Investment Manager are currently in the process of implementing the requirements of Rule 2a-5 for compliance with these requirements by the September 2022 compliance deadline.

 

(b)   Cash and Cash Equivalents: Cash and cash equivalents include U.S. dollars, foreign cash and overnight time deposits.

 

NOTE 3 — Fair Value Measurements:

 

The following is a summary of the inputs used as of July 31, 2022, in valuing the Funds’ investments carried at fair value on a recurring basis. Based upon the nature, characteristics, and risks associated with their investments, the Funds have determined that presenting them by security type and sector is appropriate.

* Prosetta Biosciences, Inc., Series D shares are classified as a Level 3 investment and are fair valued at zero as of July 31, 2022.

 

The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of each Fund’s securities are revenue and EBITDA multiples, discount rates, and the probability of success of certain outcomes. Significant increases and decreases in these inputs in isolation and interrelationships between these inputs would have resulted in significantly higher or lower fair value measurements than those noted in the table above. Generally, all other things being equal, increases in revenue and EBITDA multiples, decreases in discount rates, and increases in the probability of success result in higher fair value measurements, whereas decreases in revenues and EBITDA multiples, increases in discount rates, and decreases in the probability of success result in lower fair value measurements.

 

Certain of the Funds’ assets and liabilities are held at carrying amount or face value, which approximates fair value for financial reporting purposes. As of July 31, 2022, such assets were categorized within the ASC 820 disclosure hierarchy as follows:
