Notes to Schedule of Investments (Unaudited)

Security Valuation
The Board of Directors of the Fund has adopted policies and procedures for the valuation of the Fund’s securities and assets, and has appointed the Fair Value Pricing Committee of the investment adviser, Great-West Capital Management, LLC, to complete valuation determinations under those policies and procedures.
The Fund generally values its securities based on market prices determined at the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) on each day the NYSE is open for trading. The net asset value of each class of the Fund's shares is determined by dividing the net assets attributable to each class of shares of the Fund by the number of issued and outstanding shares of each class of the Fund on each valuation date.
For securities that are traded on only one exchange, the last sale price as of the close of business of that exchange will be used. If the closing price is not available, the current bid as of the close of business will be used. For securities traded on more than one exchange, or upon one or more exchanges and in the over-the-counter (OTC) market, the last sale price as of the close of business on the market which the security is traded most extensively will be used. If the closing price is not available, the current bid as of the close of business will be used. For securities that principally trade on the NASDAQ National Market System, the NASDAQ official closing price will be used.
Short term securities purchased with less than 60 days remaining until maturity and all U.S. Treasury Bills are valued on the basis of amortized cost, which has been determined to approximate fair value. Short term securities purchased with more than 60 days remaining until maturity are valued using pricing services, or in the event a price is not available from a pricing service, may be priced using other methodologies approved by the Board of Directors, including model pricing or pricing on the basis of quotations from brokers or dealers, and will continue to be priced until final maturity.
Foreign equity securities are generally valued using an adjusted systematic fair value price from an independent pricing service. Foreign exchange rates are determined at a time that corresponds to the closing of the NYSE.
Independent pricing services are approved by the Board of Directors and are utilized for all investment types when available. In some instances valuations from independent pricing services are not available or do not reflect events in the market between the time the market closed and the valuation time and therefore fair valuation procedures are implemented. The fair value for some securities may be obtained from pricing services or other pricing sources. The inputs used by the pricing services are reviewed quarterly or when the pricing vendor issues updates to its pricing methodologies. Broker quotes are analyzed through an internal review process, which includes a review of known market conditions and other relevant data. Developments that might trigger fair value pricing could be natural disasters, government actions or fluctuations in domestic and foreign markets.
The following table provides examples of the inputs that are commonly used for valuing particular classes of securities. These classifications are not exclusive, and any inputs may be used to value any other security class.
Class Inputs
Common Stock Exchange traded close price, bids, evaluated bids, open and close price of the local exchange, exchange rates, fair values based on significant market movement and various index data.
Short Term Investments Maturity date, credit quality and interest rates.
The Fund classifies its valuations into three levels based upon the observability of inputs to the valuation of the Fund’s investments. The valuation levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with the underlying investment. Classification is based on the lowest level of input significant to the fair value measurement. The three levels are defined as follows:
Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices for identical securities in active markets.

September 30, 2016

 


Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable either directly or indirectly. These may include quoted prices for similar assets in active markets.
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs to the extent observable inputs are not available and may include prices obtained from single broker quotes. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions and would be based on the best information available under the circumstances.
As of September 30, 2016, the inputs used to value the Fund’s investments are detailed in the following table. More information regarding the sector and industry classifications, as applicable, are included in the Schedule of Investments. The Fund recognizes transfers between levels as of the beginning of the reporting period.  There were no transfers between Levels 1, 2 and 3 during the period.

Repurchase Agreements
The Fund may engage in repurchase agreement transactions with institutions that the Fund’s investment adviser has determined are creditworthy. The Fund will purchase securities at a specified price with an agreement to sell the securities to the same counterparty at a specified time, price and interest rate. The Fund’s custodian and/or securities lending agent receives delivery of the underlying securities collateralizing a repurchase agreement. Collateral is at least equal to the value of the repurchase obligation including interest. A repurchase agreement transaction involves certain risks in the event of default or insolvency of the counterparty. These risks include possible delays or restrictions upon a Fund’s ability to dispose of the underlying securities and a possible decline in the value of the underlying securities during the period while the Fund seeks to assert its rights.
Federal Income Taxes
The aggregate cost of securities and other investments and the composition of unrealized appreciation and depreciation for federal income tax purposes as of September 30, 2016 were as follows:
Federal tax cost of investments $230,084,996
Gross unrealized appreciation on investments 22,407,368
Gross unrealized depreciation on investments (19,884,036)
Net unrealized appreciation on investments $2,523,332

Notes to Schedule of Investments (Unaudited)

Security Valuation
The Board of Directors of the Fund has adopted policies and procedures for the valuation of the Fund’s securities and assets, and has appointed the Fair Value Pricing Committee of the investment adviser, Great-West Capital Management, LLC, to complete valuation determinations under those policies and procedures.
The Fund generally values its securities based on market prices determined at the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) on each day the NYSE is open for trading. The net asset value of each class of the Fund's shares is determined by dividing the net assets attributable to each class of shares of the Fund by the number of issued and outstanding shares of each class of the Fund on each valuation date.
Short term securities purchased with less than 60 days remaining until maturity and all U.S. Treasury Bills are valued on the basis of amortized cost, which has been determined to approximate fair value. Short term securities purchased with more than 60 days remaining until maturity are valued using pricing services, or in the event a price is not available from a pricing service, may be priced using other methodologies approved by the Board of Directors, including model pricing or pricing on the basis of quotations from brokers or dealers, and will continue to be priced until final maturity.
Fixed income investments are valued using evaluated bid prices from approved pricing services when available and appropriate based on the conditions of the market. If a price cannot be located from either the primary or secondary sources, or if the market is determined to be illiquid or inactive, other appropriate sources, which may include the use of an internally developed valuation model, another external pricing vendor or sourcing a price from a broker, may be used.
Foreign exchange rates are determined at a time that corresponds to the closing of the NYSE.
Independent pricing services are approved by the Board of Directors and are utilized for all investment types when available. In some instances valuations from independent pricing services are not available or do not reflect events in the market between the time the market closed and the valuation time and therefore fair valuation procedures are implemented. The fair value for some securities may be obtained from pricing services or other pricing sources. The inputs used by the pricing services are reviewed quarterly or when the pricing vendor issues updates to its pricing methodologies. Broker quotes are analyzed through an internal review process, which includes a review of known market conditions and other relevant data. Developments that might trigger fair value pricing could be natural disasters, government actions or fluctuations in domestic and foreign markets.
The following table provides examples of the inputs that are commonly used for valuing particular classes of securities. These classifications are not exclusive, and any inputs may be used to value any other security class.
Class Inputs
Asset-Backed Securities Benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided markets, benchmark securities, bids, evaluated bids, offers and reference data including market research publications. Inputs may also include new issue data, collateral performance, and monthly payment information.
Corporate Bonds and Notes, Foreign Government Bonds and Notes Benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided markets, benchmark securities, bids, evaluated bids, offers and reference data including market research publications. Inputs also may include observations of equity and credit default swap curves related to issuer.
Mortgage-Backed Securities Benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided markets, benchmark securities, bids, evaluated bids, offers and reference data including market

  research publications. Inputs may also include new issue data, collateral performance, TBA prices, monthly payment information and third party real estate analysis.
Municipal Bonds and Notes Benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided markets, benchmark securities, bids, evaluated bids, offers and reference data including market research publications. Inputs also may include reported trades, benchmark yields, new issue data, and material event notices.
U.S. Government Agency Bonds and Notes, U.S. Treasury Bonds and Notes Benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided markets, benchmark securities, bids, evaluated bids, offers and reference data including market research publications.
Short Term Investments Maturity date, credit quality and interest rates.
The Fund classifies its valuations into three levels based upon the observability of inputs to the valuation of the Fund’s investments. The valuation levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with the underlying investment. Classification is based on the lowest level of input significant to the fair value measurement. The three levels are defined as follows:
Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices for identical securities in active markets.
Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable either directly or indirectly. These may include quoted prices for similar assets in active markets.
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs to the extent observable inputs are not available and may include prices obtained from single broker quotes. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions and would be based on the best information available under the circumstances.
As of September 30, 2016, 100% of the Fund’s investments are valued using Level 2 inputs. More information regarding the sector and industry classifications, as applicable, are included in the Schedule of Investments. The Fund recognizes transfers between levels as of the beginning of the reporting period. There were no transfers between Levels 1, 2 and 3 during the period.
Restricted Securities
Investments in securities include issues that are restricted. A restricted security may have contractual restrictions on resale and is valued under methods approved by the Board of Directors reflecting fair value. Restricted securities are marked with an applicable footnote on the Schedule of Investments and are reported in a table following the Schedule of Investments.
Repurchase Agreements
The Fund may engage in repurchase agreement transactions with institutions that the Fund’s investment adviser has determined are creditworthy. The Fund will purchase securities at a specified price with an agreement to sell the securities to the same counterparty at a specified time, price and interest rate. The Fund’s custodian and/or securities lending agent receives delivery of the underlying securities collateralizing a repurchase agreement. Collateral is at least equal to the value of the repurchase obligation including interest. A repurchase agreement transaction involves certain risks in the event of default or insolvency of the counterparty. These risks include possible delays or restrictions upon a Fund’s ability to dispose of the underlying securities and a possible decline in the value of the underlying securities during the period while the Fund seeks to assert its rights.
To Be Announced Transactions
The Fund may invest in securities known as To Be Announced (TBA) securities. TBA’s are Federal National Mortgage Association, Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation or Government National Mortgage Association issued mortgage backed securities for forward settlement, in which the buyer and seller decide on trade parameters, but the exact pools are unknown until two days before settlement date. The transactions arise when securities are purchased or sold with payment and delivery taking place in the future in order to secure what is considered to be an advantageous price and yield at the time of entering into the transaction. TBA transactions generally settle monthly on a specified date.

September 30, 2016

 


Dollar Rolls
The Fund may enter into dollar roll transactions, pursuant to which it sells a mortgage-backed TBA or security and simultaneously agrees to purchase a similar, but not identical, TBA with the same issuer, rate, and terms on a later date at a set price from the same counterparty. The Fund may execute a “roll” to obtain better underlying mortgage securities or to enhance returns. The Fund generally enters into dollar roll transactions with the intention of taking possession of the underlying mortgage securities but may close a contract prior to settlement or “roll” settlement to a later date if deemed to be in the best interest of the Fund. Actual mortgages received by the Fund may be less favorable than those anticipated. The Fund accounts for dollar roll transactions as purchases and sales, which has the effect of increasing its portfolio turnover rate.
Federal Income Taxes
The aggregate cost of securities and other investments and the composition of unrealized appreciation and depreciation for federal income tax purposes as of September 30, 2016 were as follows:
Federal tax cost of investments $1,326,003,040
Gross unrealized appreciation on investments 39,437,891
Gross unrealized depreciation on investments (2,078,137)
Net unrealized appreciation on investments $37,359,754

GREAT-WEST FEDERATED BOND FUND
Notes to Schedule of Investments (Unaudited)

Security Valuation
The Board of Directors of the Fund has adopted policies and procedures for the valuation of the Fund’s securities and assets, and has appointed the Fair Value Pricing Committee of the investment adviser, Great-West Capital Management, LLC, to complete valuation determinations under those policies and procedures.
The Fund generally values its securities based on market prices determined at the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) on each day the NYSE is open for trading. The net asset value of each class of the Fund's shares is determined by dividing the net assets attributable to each class of shares of the Fund by the number of issued and outstanding shares of each class of the Fund on each valuation date.
For securities that are traded on only one exchange, the last sale price as of the close of business of that exchange will be used. If the closing price is not available, the current bid as of the close of business will be used. For securities traded on more than one exchange, or upon one or more exchanges and in the over-the-counter (OTC) market, the last sale price as of the close of business on the market which the security is traded most extensively will be used. If the closing price is not available, the current bid as of the close of business will be used. For securities that principally trade on the NASDAQ National Market System, the NASDAQ official closing price will be used.
Short term securities purchased with less than 60 days remaining until maturity and all U.S. Treasury Bills are valued on the basis of amortized cost, which has been determined to approximate fair value. Short term securities purchased with more than 60 days remaining until maturity are valued using pricing services, or in the event a price is not available from a pricing service, may be priced using other methodologies approved by the Board of Directors, including model pricing or pricing on the basis of quotations from brokers or dealers, and will continue to be priced until final maturity.
Fixed income investments are valued using evaluated bid prices from approved pricing services when available and appropriate based on the conditions of the market. If a price cannot be located from either the primary or secondary sources, or if the market is determined to be illiquid or inactive, other appropriate sources, which may include the use of an internally developed valuation model, another external pricing vendor or sourcing a price from a broker, may be used.
Foreign exchange rates are determined at a time that corresponds to the closing of the NYSE.
For derivatives that are traded on an exchange, the last sale price as of the close of business of the exchange will be used. For derivatives traded over-the-counter (OTC), independent pricing services will be utilized when possible. If a price cannot be located from the primary source, other appropriate sources, which may include the use of an internally developed valuation model, another external pricing vendor or sourcing a price from a broker, may be used.
Independent pricing services are approved by the Board of Directors and are utilized for all investment types when available. In some instances valuations from independent pricing services are not available or do not reflect events in the market between the time the market closed and the valuation time and therefore fair valuation procedures are implemented. The fair value for some securities may be obtained from pricing services or other pricing sources. The inputs used by the pricing services are reviewed quarterly or when the pricing vendor issues updates to its pricing methodologies. Broker quotes are analyzed through an internal review process, which includes a review of known market conditions and other relevant data. Developments that might trigger fair value pricing could be natural disasters, government actions or fluctuations in domestic and foreign markets.
The following table provides examples of the inputs that are commonly used for valuing particular classes of securities. These classifications are not exclusive, and any inputs may be used to value any other security class.
Class Inputs
Asset-Backed Securities Benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided markets, benchmark securities, bids, evaluated bids, offers and reference data including market research publications. Inputs may also include new issue data, collateral performance, and monthly payment information.

September 30, 2016

 


Corporate Bonds and Notes, Foreign Government Bonds and Notes Benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided markets, benchmark securities, bids, evaluated bids, offers and reference data including market research publications. Inputs also may include observations of equity and credit default swap curves related to issuer.
Mortgage-Backed Securities Benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided markets, benchmark securities, bids, evaluated bids, offers and reference data including market research publications. Inputs may also include new issue data, collateral performance, TBA prices, monthly payment information and third party real estate analysis.
U.S. Treasury Bonds and Notes Benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided markets, benchmark securities, bids, evaluated bids, offers and reference data including market research publications.
Exchange Traded Funds Exchange traded close price.
Short Term Investments Maturity date, credit quality and interest rates.
Futures Contracts Exchange traded close price.
The Fund classifies its valuations into three levels based upon the observability of inputs to the valuation of the Fund’s investments. The valuation levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with the underlying investment. Classification is based on the lowest level of input significant to the fair value measurement. The three levels are defined as follows:
Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices for identical securities in active markets.
Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable either directly or indirectly. These may include quoted prices for similar assets in active markets.
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs to the extent observable inputs are not available and may include prices obtained from single broker quotes. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions and would be based on the best information available under the circumstances.
As of September 30, 2016, the inputs used to value the Fund’s investments are detailed in the following table. More information regarding the sector and industry classifications, as applicable, are included in the Schedule of Investments. The Fund recognizes transfers between levels as of the beginning of the reporting period.  There were no transfers between Levels 1, 2 and 3 during the period.

Federal Income Taxes
The aggregate cost of securities and other investments and the composition of unrealized appreciation and depreciation for federal income tax purposes as of September 30, 2016 were as follows:
Federal tax cost of investments $399,878,197
Gross unrealized appreciation on investments 15,567,097
Gross unrealized depreciation on investments (1,905,353)
Net unrealized appreciation on investments $13,661,744
Futures Contracts
The Fund uses futures contracts to capitalize on expected changes in the shape of the yield curve and to control overall interest rate exposure. A futures contract is an agreement between two parties to buy or sell a specified underlying investment for a fixed price at a specified future date. Futures contracts are generally entered into on a regulated futures exchange and cleared through a clearinghouse associated with the exchange. The use of futures contracts may involve risks such as the possibility of illiquid markets or imperfect correlation between the value of the contracts and the underlying securities that comprise the index, or that the clearinghouse will fail to perform its obligations. The Fund held an average of 1,893 futures contracts for the reporting period.

GREAT-WEST FUNDS, INC.
GREAT-WEST GOLDMAN SACHS MID CAP VALUE FUND
Notes to Schedule of Investments (Unaudited)

Security Valuation
The Board of Directors of the Fund has adopted policies and procedures for the valuation of the Fund’s securities and assets, and has appointed the Fair Value Pricing Committee of the investment adviser, Great-West Capital Management, LLC, to complete valuation determinations under those policies and procedures.
The Fund generally values its securities based on market prices determined at the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) on each day the NYSE is open for trading. The net asset value of each class of the Fund's shares is determined by dividing the net assets attributable to each class of shares of the Fund by the number of issued and outstanding shares of each class of the Fund on each valuation date.
For securities that are traded on only one exchange, the last sale price as of the close of business of that exchange will be used. If the closing price is not available, the current bid as of the close of business will be used. For securities traded on more than one exchange, or upon one or more exchanges and in the over-the-counter (OTC) market, the last sale price as of the close of business on the market which the security is traded most extensively will be used. If the closing price is not available, the current bid as of the close of business will be used. For securities that principally trade on the NASDAQ National Market System, the NASDAQ official closing price will be used.
Short term securities purchased with less than 60 days remaining until maturity and all U.S. Treasury Bills are valued on the basis of amortized cost, which has been determined to approximate fair value. Short term securities purchased with more than 60 days remaining until maturity are valued using pricing services, or in the event a price is not available from a pricing service, may be priced using other methodologies approved by the Board of Directors, including model pricing or pricing on the basis of quotations from brokers or dealers, and will continue to be priced until final maturity.
Foreign equity securities are generally valued using an adjusted systematic fair value price from an independent pricing service. Foreign exchange rates are determined at a time that corresponds to the closing of the NYSE.
For derivatives that are traded on an exchange, the last sale price as of the close of business of the exchange will be used. For derivatives traded over-the-counter (OTC), independent pricing services will be utilized when possible. If a price cannot be located from the primary source, other appropriate sources, which may include the use of an internally developed valuation model, another external pricing vendor or sourcing a price from a broker, may be used.
Independent pricing services are approved by the Board of Directors and are utilized for all investment types when available. In some instances valuations from independent pricing services are not available or do not reflect events in the market between the time the market closed and the valuation time and therefore fair valuation procedures are implemented. The fair value for some securities may be obtained from pricing services or other pricing sources. The inputs used by the pricing services are reviewed quarterly or when the pricing vendor issues updates to its pricing methodologies. Broker quotes are analyzed through an internal review process, which includes a review of known market conditions and other relevant data. Developments that might trigger fair value pricing could be natural disasters, government actions or fluctuations in domestic and foreign markets.
The following table provides examples of the inputs that are commonly used for valuing particular classes of securities. These classifications are not exclusive, and any inputs may be used to value any other security class.
Class Inputs
Common Stock Exchange traded close price, bids, evaluated bids, open and close price of the local exchange, exchange rates, fair values based on significant market movement and various index data.
Short Term Investments Maturity date, credit quality and interest rates.
Futures Contracts Exchange traded close price.

The Fund classifies its valuations into three levels based upon the observability of inputs to the valuation of the Fund’s investments. The valuation levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with the underlying investment. Classification is based on the lowest level of input significant to the fair value measurement. The three levels are defined as follows:
Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices for identical securities in active markets.
Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable either directly or indirectly. These may include quoted prices for similar assets in active markets.
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs to the extent observable inputs are not available and may include prices obtained from single broker quotes. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions and would be based on the best information available under the circumstances.
As of September 30, 2016, the inputs used to value the Fund’s investments are detailed in the following table. More information regarding the sector and industry classifications, as applicable, are included in the Schedule of Investments. The Fund recognizes transfers between levels as of the beginning of the reporting period.  There were no transfers between Levels 1, 2 and 3 during the period.

(a) Futures Contracts are reported at the security’s unrealized appreciation (depreciation), which represents the change in the contract’s value from trade date.
Repurchase Agreements
The Fund may engage in repurchase agreement transactions with institutions that the Fund’s investment adviser has determined are creditworthy. The Fund will purchase securities at a specified price with an agreement to sell the securities to the same counterparty at a specified time, price and interest rate. The Fund’s custodian and/or securities lending agent receives delivery of the underlying securities collateralizing a repurchase agreement. Collateral is at least equal to the value of the repurchase obligation including interest. A repurchase agreement transaction involves certain risks in the event of default or insolvency of the counterparty. These risks include possible delays or restrictions upon a Fund’s ability to dispose of the underlying securities and a possible decline in the value of the underlying securities during the period while the Fund seeks to assert its rights.
Federal Income Taxes
The aggregate cost of securities and other investments and the composition of unrealized appreciation and depreciation for federal income tax purposes as of September 30, 2016 were as follows:
Federal tax cost of investments $545,514,809
Gross unrealized appreciation on investments 38,667,843
Gross unrealized depreciation on investments (14,844,355)
Net unrealized appreciation on investments $23,823,488

September 30, 2016

 


Futures Contracts
The Fund uses futures contracts in order for the Fund to hold cash but maintain index returns with the objective of minimizing tracking error versus the benchmark index. Index futures contracts which are most correlated to the benchmark index and exhibit sufficient liquidity are utilized. A futures contract is an agreement between two parties to buy or sell a specified underlying investment for a fixed price at a specified future date. Futures contracts are generally entered into on a regulated futures exchange and cleared through a clearinghouse associated with the exchange. The use of futures contracts may involve risks such as the possibility of illiquid markets or imperfect correlation between the value of the contracts and the underlying securities that comprise the index, or that the clearinghouse will fail to perform its obligations. The Fund held an average of 57 futures contracts for the reporting period.

GREAT-WEST FUNDS, INC.
GREAT-WEST INTERNATIONAL INDEX FUND
Notes to Schedule of Investments (Unaudited)

Security Valuation
The Board of Directors of the Fund has adopted policies and procedures for the valuation of the Fund’s securities and assets, and has appointed the Fair Value Pricing Committee of the investment adviser, Great-West Capital Management, LLC, to complete valuation determinations under those policies and procedures.
The Fund generally values its securities based on market prices determined at the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) on each day the NYSE is open for trading. The net asset value of each class of the Fund's shares is determined by dividing the net assets attributable to each class of shares of the Fund by the number of issued and outstanding shares of each class of the Fund on each valuation date.
For securities that are traded on only one exchange, the last sale price as of the close of business of that exchange will be used. If the closing price is not available, the current bid as of the close of business will be used. For securities traded on more than one exchange, or upon one or more exchanges and in the over-the-counter (OTC) market, the last sale price as of the close of business on the market which the security is traded most extensively will be used. If the closing price is not available, the current bid as of the close of business will be used. For securities that principally trade on the NASDAQ National Market System, the NASDAQ official closing price will be used.
Short term securities purchased with less than 60 days remaining until maturity and all U.S. Treasury Bills are valued on the basis of amortized cost, which has been determined to approximate fair value. Short term securities purchased with more than 60 days remaining until maturity are valued using pricing services, or in the event a price is not available from a pricing service, may be priced using other methodologies approved by the Board of Directors, including model pricing or pricing on the basis of quotations from brokers or dealers, and will continue to be priced until final maturity.
Foreign equity securities are generally valued using an adjusted systematic fair value price from an independent pricing service. Foreign exchange rates are determined at a time that corresponds to the closing of the NYSE.
For derivatives that are traded on an exchange, the last sale price as of the close of business of the exchange will be used. For derivatives traded over-the-counter (OTC), independent pricing services will be utilized when possible. If a price cannot be located from the primary source, other appropriate sources, which may include the use of an internally developed valuation model, another external pricing vendor or sourcing a price from a broker, may be used.
Independent pricing services are approved by the Board of Directors and are utilized for all investment types when available. In some instances valuations from independent pricing services are not available or do not reflect events in the market between the time the market closed and the valuation time and therefore fair valuation procedures are implemented. The fair value for some securities may be obtained from pricing services or other pricing sources. The inputs used by the pricing services are reviewed quarterly or when the pricing vendor issues updates to its pricing methodologies. Broker quotes are analyzed through an internal review process, which includes a review of known market conditions and other relevant data. Developments that might trigger fair value pricing could be natural disasters, government actions or fluctuations in domestic and foreign markets.

September 30, 2016

 


The following table provides examples of the inputs that are commonly used for valuing particular classes of securities. These classifications are not exclusive, and any inputs may be used to value any other security class.
Class Inputs
Common Stock Exchange traded close price, bids, evaluated bids, open and close price of the local exchange, exchange rates, fair values based on significant market movement and various index data.
Preferred Stock Benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided markets, benchmark securities, bids, evaluated bids, offers and reference data including market research publications. Inputs also may include exchange prices.
Short Term Investments Maturity date, credit quality and interest rates.
Futures Contracts Exchange traded close price.
Forward Foreign Currency Contracts Foreign currency spot and forward rates.
The Fund classifies its valuations into three levels based upon the observability of inputs to the valuation of the Fund’s investments. The valuation levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with the underlying investment. Classification is based on the lowest level of input significant to the fair value measurement. The three levels are defined as follows:
Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices for identical securities in active markets.
Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable either directly or indirectly. These may include quoted prices for similar assets in active markets.
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs to the extent observable inputs are not available and may include prices obtained from single broker quotes. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions and would be based on the best information available under the circumstances.
As of September 30, 2016, the inputs used to value the Fund’s investments are detailed in the following table. More information regarding the sector, industry or geography classifications, as applicable, are included in the Schedule of Investments.

(a) Forward Foreign Currency Contracts and Futures Contracts are reported at the security’s unrealized appreciation (depreciation), which represents the change in the contract’s value from trade date.
The Fund recognizes transfers between levels as of the beginning of the reporting period. As of September 30, 2016, the following transfers between levels were recognized between valuation levels.

September 30, 2016

 


Investments   Transfer from Level 1 to Level 2 (a)   Transfer from Level 2 to Level 1 (b)
Communications   $152,617  
Consumer, Cyclical   $230,216  
Consumer, Non-Cyclical   $4,908,346   $851,658
Financial   $1,187,589  
(a) Transferred from Level 1 to Level 2 due to utilizing a fair value price. As of the prior reporting period end, the security utilized a market closing price.
(b) Transferred from Level 2 to Level 1 due to utilizing a market closing price. As of the prior reporting period end, the security utilized a fair value price.
Repurchase Agreements
The Fund may engage in repurchase agreement transactions with institutions that the Fund’s investment adviser has determined are creditworthy. The Fund will purchase securities at a specified price with an agreement to sell the securities to the same counterparty at a specified time, price and interest rate. The Fund’s custodian and/or securities lending agent receives delivery of the underlying securities collateralizing a repurchase agreement. Collateral is at least equal to the value of the repurchase obligation including interest. A repurchase agreement transaction involves certain risks in the event of default or insolvency of the counterparty. These risks include possible delays or restrictions upon a Fund’s ability to dispose of the underlying securities and a possible decline in the value of the underlying securities during the period while the Fund seeks to assert its rights.
Federal Income Taxes
The aggregate cost of securities and other investments and the composition of unrealized appreciation and depreciation for federal income tax purposes as of September 30, 2016 were as follows:
Federal tax cost of investments $819,704,039
Gross unrealized appreciation on investments 114,391,710
Gross unrealized depreciation on investments (98,041,598)
Net unrealized appreciation on investments $16,350,112
Futures Contracts
The Fund uses futures contracts in order for the Fund to hold cash but maintain index returns with the objective of minimizing tracking error versus the benchmark index. Index futures contracts which are most correlated to the benchmark index and exhibit sufficient liquidity are utilized. A futures contract is an agreement between two parties to buy or sell a specified underlying investment for a fixed price at a specified future date. Futures contracts are generally entered into on a regulated futures exchange and cleared through a clearinghouse associated with the exchange. The use of futures contracts may involve risks such as the possibility of illiquid markets or imperfect correlation between the value of the contracts and the underlying securities that comprise the index, or that the clearinghouse will fail to perform its obligations. The Fund held an average of 153 futures contracts for the reporting period.
Forward Foreign Currency Contracts
The Fund enters into OTC forward foreign currency contracts (forward contracts) primarily to capture potential returns from changes in international exchange rates or to reduce the risk of undesired currency exposure. A forward contract is a commitment to purchase or sell a foreign currency at a future date at a negotiated rate. The Fund held an average notional value of $768,967 in forward contracts for the reporting period.

GREAT-WEST FUNDS, INC.
GREAT-WEST INVESCO SMALL CAP VALUE FUND
Notes to Schedule of Investments (Unaudited)

Security Valuation
The Board of Directors of the Fund has adopted policies and procedures for the valuation of the Fund’s securities and assets, and has appointed the Fair Value Pricing Committee of the investment adviser, Great-West Capital Management, LLC, to complete valuation determinations under those policies and procedures.
The Fund generally values its securities based on market prices determined at the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) on each day the NYSE is open for trading. The net asset value of each class of the Fund's shares is determined by dividing the net assets attributable to each class of shares of the Fund by the number of issued and outstanding shares of each class of the Fund on each valuation date.
For securities that are traded on only one exchange, the last sale price as of the close of business of that exchange will be used. If the closing price is not available, the current bid as of the close of business will be used. For securities traded on more than one exchange, or upon one or more exchanges and in the over-the-counter (OTC) market, the last sale price as of the close of business on the market which the security is traded most extensively will be used. If the closing price is not available, the current bid as of the close of business will be used. For securities that principally trade on the NASDAQ National Market System, the NASDAQ official closing price will be used.
Short term securities purchased with less than 60 days remaining until maturity and all U.S. Treasury Bills are valued on the basis of amortized cost, which has been determined to approximate fair value. Short term securities purchased with more than 60 days remaining until maturity are valued using pricing services, or in the event a price is not available from a pricing service, may be priced using other methodologies approved by the Board of Directors, including model pricing or pricing on the basis of quotations from brokers or dealers, and will continue to be priced until final maturity.
Foreign equity securities are generally valued using an adjusted systematic fair value price from an independent pricing service. Foreign exchange rates are determined at a time that corresponds to the closing of the NYSE.
For derivatives that are traded on an exchange, the last sale price as of the close of business of the exchange will be used. For derivatives traded over-the-counter (OTC), independent pricing services will be utilized when possible. If a price cannot be located from the primary source, other appropriate sources, which may include the use of an internally developed valuation model, another external pricing vendor or sourcing a price from a broker, may be used.
Independent pricing services are approved by the Board of Directors and are utilized for all investment types when available. In some instances valuations from independent pricing services are not available or do not reflect events in the market between the time the market closed and the valuation time and therefore fair valuation procedures are implemented. The fair value for some securities may be obtained from pricing services or other pricing sources. The inputs used by the pricing services are reviewed quarterly or when the pricing vendor issues updates to its pricing methodologies. Broker quotes are analyzed through an internal review process, which includes a review of known market conditions and other relevant data. Developments that might trigger fair value pricing could be natural disasters, government actions or fluctuations in domestic and foreign markets.
The following table provides examples of the inputs that are commonly used for valuing particular classes of securities. These classifications are not exclusive, and any inputs may be used to value any other security class.
Class Inputs
Common Stock Exchange traded close price, bids, evaluated bids, open and close price of the local exchange, exchange rates, fair values based on significant market movement and various index data.
Short Term Investments Maturity date, credit quality and interest rates.
Futures Contracts Exchange traded close price.

The Fund classifies its valuations into three levels based upon the observability of inputs to the valuation of the Fund’s investments. The valuation levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with the underlying investment. Classification is based on the lowest level of input significant to the fair value measurement. The three levels are defined as follows:
Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices for identical securities in active markets.
Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable either directly or indirectly. These may include quoted prices for similar assets in active markets.
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs to the extent observable inputs are not available and may include prices obtained from single broker quotes. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions and would be based on the best information available under the circumstances.
As of September 30, 2016, the inputs used to value the Fund’s investments are detailed in the following table. More information regarding the sector and industry classifications, as applicable, are included in the Schedule of Investments. The Fund recognizes transfers between levels as of the beginning of the reporting period.  There were no transfers between Levels 1, 2 and 3 during the period.

(a) Futures Contracts are reported at the security’s unrealized appreciation (depreciation), which represents the change in the contract’s value from trade date.
Repurchase Agreements
The Fund may engage in repurchase agreement transactions with institutions that the Fund’s investment adviser has determined are creditworthy. The Fund will purchase securities at a specified price with an agreement to sell the securities to the same counterparty at a specified time, price and interest rate. The Fund’s custodian and/or securities lending agent receives delivery of the underlying securities collateralizing a repurchase agreement. Collateral is at least equal to the value of the repurchase obligation including interest. A repurchase agreement transaction involves certain risks in the event of default or insolvency of the counterparty. These risks include possible delays or restrictions upon a Fund’s ability to dispose of the underlying securities and a possible decline in the value of the underlying securities during the period while the Fund seeks to assert its rights.
Federal Income Taxes
The aggregate cost of securities and other investments and the composition of unrealized appreciation and depreciation for federal income tax purposes as of September 30, 2016 were as follows:
Federal tax cost of investments $71,766,427
Gross unrealized appreciation on investments 11,839,071
Gross unrealized depreciation on investments (3,695,592)
Net unrealized appreciation on investments $8,143,479

September 30, 2016

 


Futures Contracts
The Fund uses futures contracts in order for the Fund to hold cash but maintain index returns with the objective of minimizing tracking error versus the benchmark index. Index futures contracts which are most correlated to the benchmark index and exhibit sufficient liquidity are utilized. A futures contract is an agreement between two parties to buy or sell a specified underlying investment for a fixed price at a specified future date. Futures contracts are generally entered into on a regulated futures exchange and cleared through a clearinghouse associated with the exchange. The use of futures contracts may involve risks such as the possibility of illiquid markets or imperfect correlation between the value of the contracts and the underlying securities that comprise the index, or that the clearinghouse will fail to perform its obligations. The Fund held an average of 10 futures contracts for the reporting period.

GREAT-WEST FUNDS, INC.
GREAT-WEST LOOMIS SAYLES BOND FUND
Notes to Schedule of Investments (Unaudited)

Security Valuation
The Board of Directors of the Fund has adopted policies and procedures for the valuation of the Fund’s securities and assets, and has appointed the Fair Value Pricing Committee of the investment adviser, Great-West Capital Management, LLC, to complete valuation determinations under those policies and procedures.
The Fund generally values its securities based on market prices determined at the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) on each day the NYSE is open for trading. The net asset value of each class of the Fund's shares is determined by dividing the net assets attributable to each class of shares of the Fund by the number of issued and outstanding shares of each class of the Fund on each valuation date.
For securities that are traded on only one exchange, the last sale price as of the close of business of that exchange will be used. If the closing price is not available, the current bid as of the close of business will be used. For securities traded on more than one exchange, or upon one or more exchanges and in the over-the-counter (OTC) market, the last sale price as of the close of business on the market which the security is traded most extensively will be used. If the closing price is not available, the current bid as of the close of business will be used. For securities that principally trade on the NASDAQ National Market System, the NASDAQ official closing price will be used.
Short term securities purchased with less than 60 days remaining until maturity and all U.S. Treasury Bills are valued on the basis of amortized cost, which has been determined to approximate fair value. Short term securities purchased with more than 60 days remaining until maturity are valued using pricing services, or in the event a price is not available from a pricing service, may be priced using other methodologies approved by the Board of Directors, including model pricing or pricing on the basis of quotations from brokers or dealers, and will continue to be priced until final maturity.
Fixed income investments are valued using evaluated bid prices from approved pricing services when available and appropriate based on the conditions of the market. If a price cannot be located from either the primary or secondary sources, or if the market is determined to be illiquid or inactive, other appropriate sources, which may include the use of an internally developed valuation model, another external pricing vendor or sourcing a price from a broker, may be used.
Foreign equity securities are generally valued using an adjusted systematic fair value price from an independent pricing service. Foreign exchange rates are determined at a time that corresponds to the closing of the NYSE.
Independent pricing services are approved by the Board of Directors and are utilized for all investment types when available. In some instances valuations from independent pricing services are not available or do not reflect events in the market between the time the market closed and the valuation time and therefore fair valuation procedures are implemented. The fair value for some securities may be obtained from pricing services or other pricing sources. The inputs used by the pricing services are reviewed quarterly or when the pricing vendor issues updates to its pricing methodologies. Broker quotes are analyzed through an internal review process, which includes a review of known market conditions and other relevant data. Developments that might trigger fair value pricing could be natural disasters, government actions or fluctuations in domestic and foreign markets.
The following table provides examples of the inputs that are commonly used for valuing particular classes of securities. These classifications are not exclusive, and any inputs may be used to value any other security class.
Class Inputs
Asset-Backed Securities Benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided markets, benchmark securities, bids, evaluated bids, offers and reference data including market research publications. Inputs may also include new issue data, collateral performance, and monthly payment information.

September 30, 2016

 


Corporate Bonds and Notes, Foreign Government Bonds and Notes Benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided markets, benchmark securities, bids, evaluated bids, offers and reference data including market research publications. Inputs also may include observations of equity and credit default swap curves related to issuer.
Convertible Bonds, Convertible Preferred Stock, Preferred Stock Benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided markets, benchmark securities, bids, evaluated bids, offers and reference data including market research publications. Inputs also may include exchange prices.
Mortgage-Backed Securities Benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided markets, benchmark securities, bids, evaluated bids, offers and reference data including market research publications. Inputs may also include new issue data, collateral performance, TBA prices, monthly payment information and third party real estate analysis.
Municipal Bonds and Notes Benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided markets, benchmark securities, bids, evaluated bids, offers and reference data including market research publications. Inputs also may include reported trades, benchmark yields, new issue data, and material event notices.
U.S. Treasury Bonds and Notes Benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided markets, benchmark securities, bids, evaluated bids, offers and reference data including market research publications.
Common Stock Exchange traded close price, bids, evaluated bids, open and close price of the local exchange, exchange rates, fair values based on significant market movement and various index data.
Warrants Exchange traded close price, bids and evaluated bids.
Short Term Investments Maturity date, credit quality and interest rates.
The Fund classifies its valuations into three levels based upon the observability of inputs to the valuation of the Fund’s investments. The valuation levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with the underlying investment. Classification is based on the lowest level of input significant to the fair value measurement. The three levels are defined as follows:
Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices for identical securities in active markets.
Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable either directly or indirectly. These may include quoted prices for similar assets in active markets.
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs to the extent observable inputs are not available and may include prices obtained from single broker quotes. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions and would be based on the best information available under the circumstances.
As of September 30, 2016, the inputs used to value the Fund’s investments are detailed in the following table. More information regarding the sector and industry classifications, as applicable, are included in the Schedule of Investments. The Fund recognizes transfers between levels as of the beginning of the reporting period.  There were no transfers between Levels 1, 2 and 3 during the period.

Restricted Securities
Investments in securities include issues that are restricted. A restricted security may have contractual restrictions on resale and is valued under methods approved by the Board of Directors reflecting fair value. Restricted securities are marked with an applicable footnote on the Schedule of Investments and are reported in a table following the Schedule of Investments.
Repurchase Agreements
The Fund may engage in repurchase agreement transactions with institutions that the Fund’s investment adviser has determined are creditworthy. The Fund will purchase securities at a specified price with an agreement to sell the securities to the same counterparty at a specified time, price and interest rate. The Fund’s custodian and/or securities lending agent receives delivery of the underlying securities collateralizing a repurchase agreement. Collateral is at least equal to the value of the repurchase obligation including interest. A repurchase agreement transaction involves certain risks in the event of default or insolvency of the counterparty. These risks include possible delays or restrictions upon a Fund’s ability to dispose of the underlying securities and a possible decline in the value of the underlying securities during the period while the Fund seeks to assert its rights.
Federal Income Taxes
The aggregate cost of securities and other investments and the composition of unrealized appreciation and depreciation for federal income tax purposes as of September 30, 2016 were as follows:
Federal tax cost of investments $768,332,917
Gross unrealized appreciation on investments 55,643,350
Gross unrealized depreciation on investments (45,869,417)
Net unrealized appreciation on investments $9,773,933

Security Valuation
The Board of Directors of the Fund has adopted policies and procedures for the valuation of the Fund’s securities and assets, and has appointed the Fair Value Pricing Committee of the investment adviser, Great-West Capital Management, LLC, to complete valuation determinations under those policies and procedures.
The Fund generally values its securities based on market prices determined at the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) on each day the NYSE is open for trading. The net asset value of each class of the Fund's shares is determined by dividing the net assets attributable to each class of shares of the Fund by the number of issued and outstanding shares of each class of the Fund on each valuation date.
For securities that are traded on only one exchange, the last sale price as of the close of business of that exchange will be used. If the closing price is not available, the current bid as of the close of business will be used. For securities traded on more than one exchange, or upon one or more exchanges and in the over-the-counter (OTC) market, the last sale price as of the close of business on the market which the security is traded most extensively will be used. If the closing price is not available, the current bid as of the close of business will be used. For securities that principally trade on the NASDAQ National Market System, the NASDAQ official closing price will be used.
Short term securities purchased with less than 60 days remaining until maturity and all U.S. Treasury Bills are valued on the basis of amortized cost, which has been determined to approximate fair value. Short term securities purchased with more than 60 days remaining until maturity are valued using pricing services, or in the event a price is not available from a pricing service, may be priced using other methodologies approved by the Board of Directors, including model pricing or pricing on the basis of quotations from brokers or dealers, and will continue to be priced until final maturity.
Foreign equity securities are generally valued using an adjusted systematic fair value price from an independent pricing service. Foreign exchange rates are determined at a time that corresponds to the closing of the NYSE.
Independent pricing services are approved by the Board of Directors and are utilized for all investment types when available. In some instances valuations from independent pricing services are not available or do not reflect events in the market between the time the market closed and the valuation time and therefore fair valuation procedures are implemented. The fair value for some securities may be obtained from pricing services or other pricing sources. The inputs used by the pricing services are reviewed quarterly or when the pricing vendor issues updates to its pricing methodologies. Broker quotes are analyzed through an internal review process, which includes a review of known market conditions and other relevant data. Developments that might trigger fair value pricing could be natural disasters, government actions or fluctuations in domestic and foreign markets.
The following table provides examples of the inputs that are commonly used for valuing particular classes of securities. These classifications are not exclusive, and any inputs may be used to value any other security class.
Class Inputs
Common Stock Exchange traded close price, bids, evaluated bids, open and close price of the local exchange, exchange rates, fair values based on significant market movement and various index data.
Short Term Investments Maturity date, credit quality and interest rates.
The Fund classifies its valuations into three levels based upon the observability of inputs to the valuation of the Fund’s investments. The valuation levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with the underlying investment. Classification is based on the lowest level of input significant to the fair value measurement. The three levels are defined as follows:
Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices for identical securities in active markets.

September 30, 2016

 


Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable either directly or indirectly. These may include quoted prices for similar assets in active markets.
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs to the extent observable inputs are not available and may include prices obtained from single broker quotes. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions and would be based on the best information available under the circumstances.
As of September 30, 2016, the inputs used to value the Fund’s investments are detailed in the following table. More information regarding the sector and industry classifications, as applicable, are included in the Schedule of Investments. The Fund recognizes transfers between levels as of the beginning of the reporting period.  There were no transfers between Levels 1, 2 and 3 during the period.

Repurchase Agreements
The Fund may engage in repurchase agreement transactions with institutions that the Fund’s investment adviser has determined are creditworthy. The Fund will purchase securities at a specified price with an agreement to sell the securities to the same counterparty at a specified time, price and interest rate. The Fund’s custodian and/or securities lending agent receives delivery of the underlying securities collateralizing a repurchase agreement. Collateral is at least equal to the value of the repurchase obligation including interest. A repurchase agreement transaction involves certain risks in the event of default or insolvency of the counterparty. These risks include possible delays or restrictions upon a Fund’s ability to dispose of the underlying securities and a possible decline in the value of the underlying securities during the period while the Fund seeks to assert its rights.
Federal Income Taxes
The aggregate cost of securities and other investments and the composition of unrealized appreciation and depreciation for federal income tax purposes as of September 30, 2016 were as follows:
Federal tax cost of investments $183,652,674
Gross unrealized appreciation on investments 69,244,460
Gross unrealized depreciation on investments (7,271,802)
Net unrealized appreciation on investments $61,972,658

Notes to Schedule of Investments (Unaudited)

Security Valuation
The Board of Directors of the Fund has adopted policies and procedures for the valuation of the Fund’s securities and assets, and has appointed the Fair Value Pricing Committee of the investment adviser, Great-West Capital Management, LLC, to complete valuation determinations under those policies and procedures.
The Fund generally values its securities based on market prices determined at the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) on each day the NYSE is open for trading. The net asset value of each class of the Fund's shares is determined by dividing the net assets attributable to each class of shares of the Fund by the number of issued and outstanding shares of each class of the Fund on each valuation date.
For securities that are traded on only one exchange, the last sale price as of the close of business of that exchange will be used. If the closing price is not available, the current bid as of the close of business will be used. For securities traded on more than one exchange, or upon one or more exchanges and in the over-the-counter (OTC) market, the last sale price as of the close of business on the market which the security is traded most extensively will be used. If the closing price is not available, the current bid as of the close of business will be used. For securities that principally trade on the NASDAQ National Market System, the NASDAQ official closing price will be used.
Short term securities purchased with less than 60 days remaining until maturity and all U.S. Treasury Bills are valued on the basis of amortized cost, which has been determined to approximate fair value. Short term securities purchased with more than 60 days remaining until maturity are valued using pricing services, or in the event a price is not available from a pricing service, may be priced using other methodologies approved by the Board of Directors, including model pricing or pricing on the basis of quotations from brokers or dealers, and will continue to be priced until final maturity.
Foreign equity securities are generally valued using an adjusted systematic fair value price from an independent pricing service. Foreign exchange rates are determined at a time that corresponds to the closing of the NYSE.
Independent pricing services are approved by the Board of Directors and are utilized for all investment types when available. In some instances valuations from independent pricing services are not available or do not reflect events in the market between the time the market closed and the valuation time and therefore fair valuation procedures are implemented. The fair value for some securities may be obtained from pricing services or other pricing sources. The inputs used by the pricing services are reviewed quarterly or when the pricing vendor issues updates to its pricing methodologies. Broker quotes are analyzed through an internal review process, which includes a review of known market conditions and other relevant data. Developments that might trigger fair value pricing could be natural disasters, government actions or fluctuations in domestic and foreign markets.
The following table provides examples of the inputs that are commonly used for valuing particular classes of securities. These classifications are not exclusive, and any inputs may be used to value any other security class.
Class Inputs
Common Stock Exchange traded close price, bids, evaluated bids, open and close price of the local exchange, exchange rates, fair values based on significant market movement and various index data.
Rights Exchange traded close price, bids and evaluated bids.
Short Term Investments Maturity date, credit quality and interest rates.
The Fund classifies its valuations into three levels based upon the observability of inputs to the valuation of the Fund’s investments. The valuation levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with the underlying investment. Classification is based on the lowest level of input significant to the fair value measurement. The three levels are defined as follows:
Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices for identical securities in active markets.

September 30, 2016

 


Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable either directly or indirectly. These may include quoted prices for similar assets in active markets.
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs to the extent observable inputs are not available and may include prices obtained from single broker quotes. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions and would be based on the best information available under the circumstances.
As of September 30, 2016, the inputs used to value the Fund’s investments are detailed in the following table. More information regarding the sector, industry or geography classifications, as applicable, are included in the Schedule of Investments. There were no transfers between Levels 1, 2 and 3 during the period.

Total Assets $ 47,354,302   $ 301,594,347   $ 0   $ 348,948,649
Repurchase Agreements
The Fund may engage in repurchase agreement transactions with institutions that the Fund’s investment adviser has determined are creditworthy. The Fund will purchase securities at a specified price with an agreement to sell the securities to the same counterparty at a specified time, price and interest rate. The Fund’s custodian and/or securities lending agent receives delivery of the underlying securities collateralizing a repurchase agreement. Collateral is at least equal to the value of the repurchase obligation including interest. A repurchase agreement transaction involves certain risks in the event of default or insolvency of the counterparty. These risks include possible delays or restrictions upon a Fund’s ability to dispose of the underlying securities and a possible decline in the value of the underlying securities during the period while the Fund seeks to assert its rights.
Federal Income Taxes
The aggregate cost of securities and other investments and the composition of unrealized appreciation and depreciation for federal income tax purposes as of September 30, 2016 were as follows:
Federal tax cost of investments $327,789,256
Gross unrealized appreciation on investments 47,106,880
Gross unrealized depreciation on investments (25,947,487)
Net unrealized appreciation on investments $21,159,393

Notes to Schedule of Investments (Unaudited)

Security Valuation
The Board of Directors of the Fund has adopted policies and procedures for the valuation of the Fund’s securities and assets, and has appointed the Fair Value Pricing Committee of the investment adviser, Great-West Capital Management, LLC, to complete valuation determinations under those policies and procedures.
The Fund generally values its securities based on market prices determined at the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) on each day the NYSE is open for trading. The net asset value of each class of the Fund's shares is determined by dividing the net assets attributable to each class of shares of the Fund by the number of issued and outstanding shares of each class of the Fund on each valuation date.
For securities that are traded on only one exchange, the last sale price as of the close of business of that exchange will be used. If the closing price is not available, the current bid as of the close of business will be used. For securities traded on more than one exchange, or upon one or more exchanges and in the over-the-counter (OTC) market, the last sale price as of the close of business on the market which the security is traded most extensively will be used. If the closing price is not available, the current bid as of the close of business will be used. For securities that principally trade on the NASDAQ National Market System, the NASDAQ official closing price will be used.
Short term securities purchased with less than 60 days remaining until maturity and all U.S. Treasury Bills are valued on the basis of amortized cost, which has been determined to approximate fair value. Short term securities purchased with more than 60 days remaining until maturity are valued using pricing services, or in the event a price is not available from a pricing service, may be priced using other methodologies approved by the Board of Directors, including model pricing or pricing on the basis of quotations from brokers or dealers, and will continue to be priced until final maturity.
Foreign equity securities are generally valued using an adjusted systematic fair value price from an independent pricing service. Foreign exchange rates are determined at a time that corresponds to the closing of the NYSE.
Independent pricing services are approved by the Board of Directors and are utilized for all investment types when available. In some instances valuations from independent pricing services are not available or do not reflect events in the market between the time the market closed and the valuation time and therefore fair valuation procedures are implemented. The fair value for some securities may be obtained from pricing services or other pricing sources. The inputs used by the pricing services are reviewed quarterly or when the pricing vendor issues updates to its pricing methodologies. Broker quotes are analyzed through an internal review process, which includes a review of known market conditions and other relevant data. Developments that might trigger fair value pricing could be natural disasters, government actions or fluctuations in domestic and foreign markets.
The following table provides examples of the inputs that are commonly used for valuing particular classes of securities. These classifications are not exclusive, and any inputs may be used to value any other security class.
Class Inputs
Common Stock Exchange traded close price, bids, evaluated bids, open and close price of the local exchange, exchange rates, fair values based on significant market movement and various index data.
Preferred Stock Benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided markets, benchmark securities, bids, evaluated bids, offers and reference data including market research publications. Inputs also may include exchange prices.
Short Term Investments Maturity date, credit quality and interest rates.
The Fund classifies its valuations into three levels based upon the observability of inputs to the valuation of the Fund’s investments. The valuation levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with the underlying investment. Classification is based on the lowest level of input significant to the fair value measurement. The three levels are defined as follows:

September 30, 2016

 


Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices for identical securities in active markets.
Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable either directly or indirectly. These may include quoted prices for similar assets in active markets.
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs to the extent observable inputs are not available and may include prices obtained from single broker quotes. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions and would be based on the best information available under the circumstances.
As of September 30, 2016, the inputs used to value the Fund’s investments are detailed in the following table. More information regarding the sector, industry or geography classifications, as applicable, are included in the Schedule of Investments.
  Level 1   Level 2   Level 3   Total
Assets              
Investments, at fair value:              
Common Stock $ 157,969,365   $ 760,864,268   $   $ 918,833,633
Preferred Stock   25,727,999     25,727,999
Short Term Investments   68,787,947     68,787,947
Total Assets $ 157,969,365   $ 855,380,214   $ 0   $ 1,013,349,579
The Fund recognizes transfers between levels as of the beginning of the reporting period. As of September 30, 2016, the following transfers between levels were recognized between valuation levels.
Investments   Transfer from Level 1 to Level 2 (a)   Transfer from Level 2 to Level 1 (b)
Financial   $2,380,341  
(a) Transferred from Level 1 to Level 2 due to utilizing a fair value price. As of the prior reporting period end, the security utilized a market closing price.
(b) Transferred from Level 2 to Level 1 due to utilizing a market closing price. As of the prior reporting period end, the security utilized a fair value price.
Repurchase Agreements
The Fund may engage in repurchase agreement transactions with institutions that the Fund’s investment adviser has determined are creditworthy. The Fund will purchase securities at a specified price with an agreement to sell the securities to the same counterparty at a specified time, price and interest rate. The Fund’s custodian and/or securities lending agent receives delivery of the underlying securities collateralizing a repurchase agreement. Collateral is at least equal to the value of the repurchase obligation including interest. A repurchase agreement transaction involves certain risks in the event of default or insolvency of the counterparty. These risks include possible delays or restrictions upon a Fund’s ability to dispose of the underlying securities and a possible decline in the value of the underlying securities during the period while the Fund seeks to assert its rights.
Federal Income Taxes
The aggregate cost of securities and other investments and the composition of unrealized appreciation and depreciation for federal income tax purposes as of September 30, 2016 were as follows:
Federal tax cost of investments $855,373,875
Gross unrealized appreciation on investments 191,104,711
Gross unrealized depreciation on investments (33,129,007)
Net unrealized appreciation on investments $157,975,704

Security Valuation
The Board of Directors of the Fund has adopted policies and procedures for the valuation of the Fund’s securities and assets, and has appointed the Fair Value Pricing Committee of the investment adviser, Great-West Capital Management, LLC, to complete valuation determinations under those policies and procedures.
The value of assets in the Fund is determined as of the close of trading on each valuation date. The net asset value of the Fund's shares is determined by dividing the net assets attributable to the Fund by the number of issued and outstanding shares of the Fund on each valuation date.
Investments held by the Fund are valued at the amortized cost method of valuation permitted in accordance with Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act and certain conditions therein. Under the amortized cost method, which does not take into account unrealized capital gains or losses, an instrument is initially valued at its cost and thereafter assumes a constant accretion/amortization to maturity of any discount or premium.
The Fund classifies its valuations into three levels based upon the observability of inputs to the valuation of the Fund’s investments. The valuation levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with the underlying investment. Classification is based on the lowest level of input significant to the fair value measurement. The three levels are defined as follows:
Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices for identical securities in active markets.
Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable either directly or indirectly. These may include quoted prices for similar assets in active markets.
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs to the extent observable inputs are not available and may include prices obtained from single broker quotes. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions and would be based on the best information available under the circumstances.
As of September 30, 2016, 100% of the Fund’s investments are valued using amortized cost. Amortized cost closely approximates a security’s current fair value, but since the value is not derived from a quoted price in an active market, amortized securities are considered to be valued using Level 2 inputs. More information regarding the sector and industry classifications, as applicable, are included in the Schedule of Investments. The Fund recognizes transfers between levels as of the beginning of the reporting period.  There were no transfers between Levels 1, 2 and 3 during the period.
Repurchase Agreements
The Fund may engage in repurchase agreement transactions with institutions that the Fund’s investment adviser has determined are creditworthy. The Fund will purchase securities at a specified price with an agreement to sell the securities to the same counterparty at a specified time, price and interest rate. The Fund’s custodian receives delivery of the underlying securities collateralizing a repurchase agreement. Collateral is at least equal to the value of the repurchase obligation including interest. A repurchase agreement transaction involves certain risks in the event of default or insolvency of the counterparty. These risks include possible delays or restrictions upon a Fund’s ability to dispose of the underlying securities and a possible decline in the value of the underlying securities during the period while the Fund seeks to assert its rights.

Security Valuation
The Board of Directors of the Fund has adopted policies and procedures for the valuation of the Fund’s securities and assets, and has appointed the Fair Value Pricing Committee of the investment adviser, Great-West Capital Management, LLC, to complete valuation determinations under those policies and procedures.
The Fund generally values its securities based on market prices determined at the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) on each day the NYSE is open for trading. The net asset value of each class of the Fund's shares is determined by dividing the net assets attributable to each class of shares of the Fund by the number of issued and outstanding shares of each class of the Fund on each valuation date.
For securities that are traded on only one exchange, the last sale price as of the close of business of that exchange will be used. If the closing price is not available, the current bid as of the close of business will be used. For securities traded on more than one exchange, or upon one or more exchanges and in the over-the-counter (OTC) market, the last sale price as of the close of business on the market which the security is traded most extensively will be used. If the closing price is not available, the current bid as of the close of business will be used. For securities that principally trade on the NASDAQ National Market System, the NASDAQ official closing price will be used.
Short term securities purchased with less than 60 days remaining until maturity and all U.S. Treasury Bills are valued on the basis of amortized cost, which has been determined to approximate fair value. Short term securities purchased with more than 60 days remaining until maturity are valued using pricing services, or in the event a price is not available from a pricing service, may be priced using other methodologies approved by the Board of Directors, including model pricing or pricing on the basis of quotations from brokers or dealers, and will continue to be priced until final maturity.
Foreign equity securities are generally valued using an adjusted systematic fair value price from an independent pricing service. Foreign exchange rates are determined at a time that corresponds to the closing of the NYSE.
Independent pricing services are approved by the Board of Directors and are utilized for all investment types when available. In some instances valuations from independent pricing services are not available or do not reflect events in the market between the time the market closed and the valuation time and therefore fair valuation procedures are implemented. The fair value for some securities may be obtained from pricing services or other pricing sources. The inputs used by the pricing services are reviewed quarterly or when the pricing vendor issues updates to its pricing methodologies. Broker quotes are analyzed through an internal review process, which includes a review of known market conditions and other relevant data. Developments that might trigger fair value pricing could be natural disasters, government actions or fluctuations in domestic and foreign markets.
The following table provides examples of the inputs that are commonly used for valuing particular classes of securities. These classifications are not exclusive, and any inputs may be used to value any other security class.
Class Inputs
Common Stock Exchange traded close price, bids, evaluated bids, open and close price of the local exchange, exchange rates, fair values based on significant market movement and various index data.
Short Term Investments Maturity date, credit quality and interest rates.
The Fund classifies its valuations into three levels based upon the observability of inputs to the valuation of the Fund’s investments. The valuation levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with the underlying investment. Classification is based on the lowest level of input significant to the fair value measurement. The three levels are defined as follows:
Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices for identical securities in active markets.

September 30, 2016

 


Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable either directly or indirectly. These may include quoted prices for similar assets in active markets.
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs to the extent observable inputs are not available and may include prices obtained from single broker quotes. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions and would be based on the best information available under the circumstances.
As of September 30, 2016, the inputs used to value the Fund’s investments are detailed in the following table. More information regarding the sector and industry classifications, as applicable, are included in the Schedule of Investments. The Fund recognizes transfers between levels as of the beginning of the reporting period.  There were no transfers between Levels 1, 2 and 3 during the period.

Repurchase Agreements
The Fund may engage in repurchase agreement transactions with institutions that the Fund’s investment adviser has determined are creditworthy. The Fund will purchase securities at a specified price with an agreement to sell the securities to the same counterparty at a specified time, price and interest rate. The Fund’s custodian and/or securities lending agent receives delivery of the underlying securities collateralizing a repurchase agreement. Collateral is at least equal to the value of the repurchase obligation including interest. A repurchase agreement transaction involves certain risks in the event of default or insolvency of the counterparty. These risks include possible delays or restrictions upon a Fund’s ability to dispose of the underlying securities and a possible decline in the value of the underlying securities during the period while the Fund seeks to assert its rights.
Federal Income Taxes
The aggregate cost of securities and other investments and the composition of unrealized appreciation and depreciation for federal income tax purposes as of September 30, 2016 were as follows:
Federal tax cost of investments $729,191,749
Gross unrealized appreciation on investments 108,275,672
Gross unrealized depreciation on investments (18,642,853)
Net unrealized appreciation on investments $89,632,819

Notes to Schedule of Investments (Unaudited)

Security Valuation
The Board of Directors of the Fund has adopted policies and procedures for the valuation of the Fund’s securities and assets, and has appointed the Fair Value Pricing Committee of the investment adviser, Great-West Capital Management, LLC, to complete valuation determinations under those policies and procedures.
The Fund generally values its securities based on market prices determined at the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) on each day the NYSE is open for trading. The net asset value of each class of the Fund's shares is determined by dividing the net assets attributable to each class of shares of the Fund by the number of issued and outstanding shares of each class of the Fund on each valuation date.
For securities that are traded on only one exchange, the last sale price as of the close of business of that exchange will be used. If the closing price is not available, the current bid as of the close of business will be used. For securities traded on more than one exchange, or upon one or more exchanges and in the over-the-counter (OTC) market, the last sale price as of the close of business on the market which the security is traded most extensively will be used. If the closing price is not available, the current bid as of the close of business will be used. For securities that principally trade on the NASDAQ National Market System, the NASDAQ official closing price will be used.
Short term securities purchased with less than 60 days remaining until maturity and all U.S. Treasury Bills are valued on the basis of amortized cost, which has been determined to approximate fair value. Short term securities purchased with more than 60 days remaining until maturity are valued using pricing services, or in the event a price is not available from a pricing service, may be priced using other methodologies approved by the Board of Directors, including model pricing or pricing on the basis of quotations from brokers or dealers, and will continue to be priced until final maturity.
Foreign equity securities are generally valued using an adjusted systematic fair value price from an independent pricing service. Foreign exchange rates are determined at a time that corresponds to the closing of the NYSE.
Independent pricing services are approved by the Board of Directors and are utilized for all investment types when available. In some instances valuations from independent pricing services are not available or do not reflect events in the market between the time the market closed and the valuation time and therefore fair valuation procedures are implemented. The fair value for some securities may be obtained from pricing services or other pricing sources. The inputs used by the pricing services are reviewed quarterly or when the pricing vendor issues updates to its pricing methodologies. Broker quotes are analyzed through an internal review process, which includes a review of known market conditions and other relevant data. Developments that might trigger fair value pricing could be natural disasters, government actions or fluctuations in domestic and foreign markets.
The following table provides examples of the inputs that are commonly used for valuing particular classes of securities. These classifications are not exclusive, and any inputs may be used to value any other security class.
Class Inputs
Common Stock Exchange traded close price, bids, evaluated bids, open and close price of the local exchange, exchange rates, fair values based on significant market movement and various index data.
Short Term Investments Maturity date, credit quality and interest rates.
The Fund classifies its valuations into three levels based upon the observability of inputs to the valuation of the Fund’s investments. The valuation levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with the underlying investment. Classification is based on the lowest level of input significant to the fair value measurement. The three levels are defined as follows:
Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices for identical securities in active markets.

September 30, 2016

 


Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable either directly or indirectly. These may include quoted prices for similar assets in active markets.
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs to the extent observable inputs are not available and may include prices obtained from single broker quotes. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions and would be based on the best information available under the circumstances.
As of September 30, 2016, the inputs used to value the Fund’s investments are detailed in the following table. More information regarding the sector and industry classifications, as applicable, are included in the Schedule of Investments. The Fund recognizes transfers between levels as of the beginning of the reporting period.  There were no transfers between Levels 1, 2 and 3 during the period.

Repurchase Agreements
The Fund may engage in repurchase agreement transactions with institutions that the Fund’s investment adviser has determined are creditworthy. The Fund will purchase securities at a specified price with an agreement to sell the securities to the same counterparty at a specified time, price and interest rate. The Fund’s custodian and/or securities lending agent receives delivery of the underlying securities collateralizing a repurchase agreement. Collateral is at least equal to the value of the repurchase obligation including interest. A repurchase agreement transaction involves certain risks in the event of default or insolvency of the counterparty. These risks include possible delays or restrictions upon a Fund’s ability to dispose of the underlying securities and a possible decline in the value of the underlying securities during the period while the Fund seeks to assert its rights.
Federal Income Taxes
The aggregate cost of securities and other investments and the composition of unrealized appreciation and depreciation for federal income tax purposes as of September 30, 2016 were as follows:
Federal tax cost of investments $58,039,970
Gross unrealized appreciation on investments 7,160,349
Gross unrealized depreciation on investments (3,365,821)
Net unrealized appreciation on investments $3,794,528

GREAT-WEST FUNDS, INC.
GREAT-WEST PUTNAM EQUITY INCOME FUND
Notes to Schedule of Investments (Unaudited)

Security Valuation
The Board of Directors of the Fund has adopted policies and procedures for the valuation of the Fund’s securities and assets, and has appointed the Fair Value Pricing Committee of the investment adviser, Great-West Capital Management, LLC, to complete valuation determinations under those policies and procedures.
The Fund generally values its securities based on market prices determined at the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) on each day the NYSE is open for trading. The net asset value of each class of the Fund's shares is determined by dividing the net assets attributable to each class of shares of the Fund by the number of issued and outstanding shares of each class of the Fund on each valuation date.
For securities that are traded on only one exchange, the last sale price as of the close of business of that exchange will be used. If the closing price is not available, the current bid as of the close of business will be used. For securities traded on more than one exchange, or upon one or more exchanges and in the over-the-counter (OTC) market, the last sale price as of the close of business on the market which the security is traded most extensively will be used. If the closing price is not available, the current bid as of the close of business will be used. For securities that principally trade on the NASDAQ National Market System, the NASDAQ official closing price will be used.
For private equity securities that are not traded on an exchange an appropriate source, which may include the use of an internally developed or approved valuation model, a different external pricing vendor, or sourcing a price from a broker will be used. Valuation of these securities will be reviewed regularly by the Fair Value Pricing Committee.
Short term securities purchased with less than 60 days remaining until maturity and all U.S. Treasury Bills are valued on the basis of amortized cost, which has been determined to approximate fair value. Short term securities purchased with more than 60 days remaining until maturity are valued using pricing services, or in the event a price is not available from a pricing service, may be priced using other methodologies approved by the Board of Directors, including model pricing or pricing on the basis of quotations from brokers or dealers, and will continue to be priced until final maturity.
Fixed income investments are valued using evaluated bid prices from approved pricing services when available and appropriate based on the conditions of the market. If a price cannot be located from either the primary or secondary sources, or if the market is determined to be illiquid or inactive, other appropriate sources, which may include the use of an internally developed valuation model, another external pricing vendor or sourcing a price from a broker, may be used.
Foreign equity securities are generally valued using an adjusted systematic fair value price from an independent pricing service. Foreign exchange rates are determined at a time that corresponds to the closing of the NYSE.
Independent pricing services are approved by the Board of Directors and are utilized for all investment types when available. In some instances valuations from independent pricing services are not available or do not reflect events in the market between the time the market closed and the valuation time and therefore fair valuation procedures are implemented. The fair value for some securities may be obtained from pricing services or other pricing sources. The inputs used by the pricing services are reviewed quarterly or when the pricing vendor issues updates to its pricing methodologies. Broker quotes are analyzed through an internal review process, which includes a review of known market conditions and other relevant data. Developments that might trigger fair value pricing could be natural disasters, government actions or fluctuations in domestic and foreign markets.

September 30, 2016

 


The following table provides examples of the inputs that are commonly used for valuing particular classes of securities. These classifications are not exclusive, and any inputs may be used to value any other security class.
Class Inputs
Convertible Bonds, Convertible Preferred Stock, Preferred Stock Benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided markets, benchmark securities, bids, evaluated bids, offers and reference data including market research publications. Inputs also may include exchange prices.
Common Stock Exchange traded close price, bids, evaluated bids, open and close price of the local exchange, exchange rates, fair values based on significant market movement and various index data.
Short Term Investments Maturity date, credit quality and interest rates.
The Fund classifies its valuations into three levels based upon the observability of inputs to the valuation of the Fund’s investments. The valuation levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with the underlying investment. Classification is based on the lowest level of input significant to the fair value measurement. The three levels are defined as follows:
Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices for identical securities in active markets.
Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable either directly or indirectly. These may include quoted prices for similar assets in active markets.
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs to the extent observable inputs are not available and may include prices obtained from single broker quotes. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions and would be based on the best information available under the circumstances.
As of September 30, 2016, the inputs used to value the Fund’s investments are detailed in the following table. More information regarding the sector and industry classifications, as applicable, are included in the Schedule of Investments. The Fund recognizes transfers between levels as of the beginning of the reporting period.  There were no transfers between Levels 1, 2 and 3 during the period.

Repurchase Agreements
The Fund may engage in repurchase agreement transactions with institutions that the Fund’s investment adviser has determined are creditworthy. The Fund will purchase securities at a specified price with an agreement to sell the securities to the same counterparty at a specified time, price and interest rate. The Fund’s custodian and/or securities lending agent receives delivery of the underlying securities collateralizing a repurchase agreement. Collateral is at least equal to the value of the repurchase obligation including interest. A repurchase agreement transaction involves certain risks in the event of default or insolvency of the counterparty. These risks include possible delays or restrictions upon a Fund’s ability to dispose of the underlying securities and a possible decline in the value of the underlying securities during the period while the Fund seeks to assert its rights.

Security Valuation
The Board of Directors of the Fund has adopted policies and procedures for the valuation of the Fund’s securities and assets, and has appointed the Fair Value Pricing Committee of the investment adviser, Great-West Capital Management, LLC, to complete valuation determinations under those policies and procedures.
The Fund generally values its securities based on market prices determined at the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) on each day the NYSE is open for trading. The net asset value of each class of the Fund's shares is determined by dividing the net assets attributable to each class of shares of the Fund by the number of issued and outstanding shares of each class of the Fund on each valuation date.
For securities that are traded on only one exchange, the last sale price as of the close of business of that exchange will be used. If the closing price is not available, the current bid as of the close of business will be used. For securities traded on more than one exchange, or upon one or more exchanges and in the over-the-counter (OTC) market, the last sale price as of the close of business on the market which the security is traded most extensively will be used. If the closing price is not available, the current bid as of the close of business will be used. For securities that principally trade on the NASDAQ National Market System, the NASDAQ official closing price will be used.
Short term securities purchased with less than 60 days remaining until maturity and all U.S. Treasury Bills are valued on the basis of amortized cost, which has been determined to approximate fair value. Short term securities purchased with more than 60 days remaining until maturity are valued using pricing services, or in the event a price is not available from a pricing service, may be priced using other methodologies approved by the Board of Directors, including model pricing or pricing on the basis of quotations from brokers or dealers, and will continue to be priced until final maturity.
Fixed income investments, including bank loans, are valued using evaluated bid prices from approved pricing services when available and appropriate based on the conditions of the market. If a price cannot be located from either the primary or secondary sources, or if the market is determined to be illiquid or inactive, other appropriate sources, which may include the use of an internally developed valuation model, another external pricing vendor or sourcing a price from a broker, may be used.
Foreign equity securities are generally valued using an adjusted systematic fair value price from an independent pricing service. Foreign exchange rates are determined at a time that corresponds to the closing of the NYSE.
For derivatives that are traded on an exchange, the last sale price as of the close of business of the exchange will be used. For derivatives traded over-the-counter (OTC), independent pricing services will be utilized when possible. If a price cannot be located from the primary source, other appropriate sources, which may include the use of an internally developed valuation model, another external pricing vendor or sourcing a price from a broker, may be used.
Independent pricing services are approved by the Board of Directors and are utilized for all investment types when available. In some instances valuations from independent pricing services are not available or do not reflect events in the market between the time the market closed and the valuation time and therefore fair valuation procedures are implemented. The fair value for some securities may be obtained from pricing services or other pricing sources. The inputs used by the pricing services are reviewed quarterly or when the pricing vendor issues updates to its pricing methodologies. Broker quotes are analyzed through an internal review process, which includes a review of known market conditions and other relevant data. Developments that might trigger fair value pricing could be natural disasters, government actions or fluctuations in domestic and foreign markets.

September 30, 2016

 


The following table provides examples of the inputs that are commonly used for valuing particular classes of securities. These classifications are not exclusive, and any inputs may be used to value any other security class.
Class Inputs
Bank Loans Broker quotes, Loan Syndications and Trading Association daily marks, loan analytics and market news.
Corporate Bonds and Notes Benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided markets, benchmark securities, bids, evaluated bids, offers and reference data including market research publications. Inputs also may include observations of equity and credit default swap curves related to issuer.
Convertible Bonds, Convertible Preferred Stock, Preferred Stock Benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided markets, benchmark securities, bids, evaluated bids, offers and reference data including market research publications. Inputs also may include exchange prices.
Common Stock Exchange traded close price, bids, evaluated bids, open and close price of the local exchange, exchange rates, fair values based on significant market movement and various index data.
Warrants Exchange traded close price, bids and evaluated bids.
Short Term Investments Maturity date, credit quality and interest rates.
Forward Foreign Currency Contracts Foreign currency spot and forward rates.
Credit Default Swaps Reported trades, credit spreads and curves, recovery rates, restructuring types and net present value of cashflows.
The Fund classifies its valuations into three levels based upon the observability of inputs to the valuation of the Fund’s investments. The valuation levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with the underlying investment. Classification is based on the lowest level of input significant to the fair value measurement. The three levels are defined as follows:
Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices for identical securities in active markets.
Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable either directly or indirectly. These may include quoted prices for similar assets in active markets.
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs to the extent observable inputs are not available and may include prices obtained from single broker quotes. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions and would be based on the best information available under the circumstances.
As of September 30, 2016, the inputs used to value the Fund’s investments are detailed in the following table. More information regarding the sector and industry classifications, as applicable, are included in the Schedule of Investments. The Fund recognizes transfers between levels as of the beginning of the reporting period.  There were no transfers between Levels 1, 2 and 3 during the period.

Restricted Securities
Investments in securities include issues that are restricted. A restricted security may have contractual restrictions on resale and is valued under methods approved by the Board of Directors reflecting fair value. Restricted securities are marked with an applicable footnote on the Schedule of Investments and are reported in a table following the Schedule of Investments.
Repurchase Agreements
The Fund may engage in repurchase agreement transactions with institutions that the Fund’s investment adviser has determined are creditworthy. The Fund will purchase securities at a specified price with an agreement to sell the securities to the same counterparty at a specified time, price and interest rate. The Fund’s custodian and/or securities lending agent receives delivery of the underlying securities collateralizing a repurchase agreement. Collateral is at least equal to the value of the repurchase obligation including interest. A repurchase agreement transaction involves certain risks in the event of default or insolvency of the counterparty. These risks include possible delays or restrictions upon a Fund’s ability to dispose of the underlying securities and a possible decline in the value of the underlying securities during the period while the Fund seeks to assert its rights.
Federal Income Taxes
The aggregate cost of securities and other investments and the composition of unrealized appreciation and depreciation for federal income tax purposes as of September 30, 2016 were as follows:
Federal tax cost of investments $322,659,069
Gross unrealized appreciation on investments 11,583,332
Gross unrealized depreciation on investments (12,791,413)
Net unrealized depreciation on investments $(1,208,081)

September 30, 2016

 


Forward Foreign Currency Contracts
The Fund enters into OTC forward foreign currency contracts (forward contracts) primarily to capture potential returns from changes in international exchange rates or to reduce the risk of undesired currency exposure. A forward contract is a commitment to purchase or sell a foreign currency at a future date at a negotiated rate. The Fund held an average notional value of $1,626,724 in forward contracts for the reporting period.
Credit Default Swaps
The Fund enters into credit default swap contracts to gain exposure on individual names and/or baskets of securities. A credit default swap is an agreement between the Fund and a counterparty that enables the Fund to buy or sell protection against a credit event related to a particular issuer. One party, acting as a protection buyer, makes periodic payments to the other party, a protection seller, in exchange for a promise by the protection seller to make a payment to the protection buyer if a negative credit event (such as a delinquent payment or default) occurs with respect to a referenced bond or group of bonds. Credit default swaps may also be structured based on the debt of a basket of issuers, rather than a single issuer, and may be customized with respect to the number of defaults event that triggers purchase or other factors (for example, the Nth default within a basket, or defaults by a particular combination of issuers within the basket, may trigger a payment obligation).
The Fund operates as a buyer of protection to take a synthetic long position in the underlying bond or bonds which provide credit protection to the buyer on the referenced obligations. Credit default swaps may involve greater risks than if the Fund had invested in the referenced obligation directly. The Fund held an average notional value of $6,184,200 in credit default swaps for the reporting period.

Notes to Schedule of Investments (Unaudited)

Security Valuation
The Board of Directors of the Fund has adopted policies and procedures for the valuation of the Fund’s securities and assets, and has appointed the Fair Value Pricing Committee of the investment adviser, Great-West Capital Management, LLC, to complete valuation determinations under those policies and procedures.
The Fund generally values its securities based on market prices determined at the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) on each day the NYSE is open for trading. The net asset value of each class of the Fund's shares is determined by dividing the net assets attributable to each class of shares of the Fund by the number of issued and outstanding shares of each class of the Fund on each valuation date.
For securities that are traded on only one exchange, the last sale price as of the close of business of that exchange will be used. If the closing price is not available, the current bid as of the close of business will be used. For securities traded on more than one exchange, or upon one or more exchanges and in the over-the-counter (OTC) market, the last sale price as of the close of business on the market which the security is traded most extensively will be used. If the closing price is not available, the current bid as of the close of business will be used. For securities that principally trade on the NASDAQ National Market System, the NASDAQ official closing price will be used.
Short term securities purchased with less than 60 days remaining until maturity and all U.S. Treasury Bills are valued on the basis of amortized cost, which has been determined to approximate fair value. Short term securities purchased with more than 60 days remaining until maturity are valued using pricing services, or in the event a price is not available from a pricing service, may be priced using other methodologies approved by the Board of Directors, including model pricing or pricing on the basis of quotations from brokers or dealers, and will continue to be priced until final maturity.
For derivatives that are traded on an exchange, the last sale price as of the close of business of the exchange will be used. For derivatives traded over-the-counter (OTC), independent pricing services will be utilized when possible. If a price cannot be located from the primary source, other appropriate sources, which may include the use of an internally developed valuation model, another external pricing vendor or sourcing a price from a broker, may be used.
Independent pricing services are approved by the Board of Directors and are utilized for all investment types when available. In some instances valuations from independent pricing services are not available or do not reflect events in the market between the time the market closed and the valuation time and therefore fair valuation procedures are implemented. The fair value for some securities may be obtained from pricing services or other pricing sources. The inputs used by the pricing services are reviewed quarterly or when the pricing vendor issues updates to its pricing methodologies. Broker quotes are analyzed through an internal review process, which includes a review of known market conditions and other relevant data. Developments that might trigger fair value pricing could be natural disasters, government actions or fluctuations in domestic and foreign markets.
The following table provides examples of the inputs that are commonly used for valuing particular classes of securities. These classifications are not exclusive, and any inputs may be used to value any other security class.
Class Inputs
Common Stock Exchange traded close price, bids, evaluated bids, open and close price of the local exchange, exchange rates, fair values based on significant market movement and various index data.
Short Term Investments Maturity date, credit quality and interest rates.
Futures Contracts Exchange traded close price.
The Fund classifies its valuations into three levels based upon the observability of inputs to the valuation of the Fund’s investments. The valuation levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with the underlying investment. Classification is based on the lowest level of input significant to the fair value measurement. The three levels are defined as follows:

September 30, 2016

 


Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices for identical securities in active markets.
Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable either directly or indirectly. These may include quoted prices for similar assets in active markets.
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs to the extent observable inputs are not available and may include prices obtained from single broker quotes. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions and would be based on the best information available under the circumstances.
As of September 30, 2016, the inputs used to value the Fund’s investments are detailed in the following table. More information regarding the sector and industry classifications, as applicable, are included in the Schedule of Investments. The Fund recognizes transfers between levels as of the beginning of the reporting period.  There were no transfers between Levels 1, 2 and 3 during the period.
  Level 1   Level 2   Level 3   Total

Total Assets $ 299,087,942   $ 4,970,679   $ 0   $ 304,058,621
(a) Futures Contracts are reported at the security’s unrealized appreciation (depreciation), which represents the change in the contract’s value from trade date.
Repurchase Agreements
The Fund may engage in repurchase agreement transactions with institutions that the Fund’s investment adviser has determined are creditworthy. The Fund will purchase securities at a specified price with an agreement to sell the securities to the same counterparty at a specified time, price and interest rate. The Fund’s custodian and/or securities lending agent receives delivery of the underlying securities collateralizing a repurchase agreement. Collateral is at least equal to the value of the repurchase obligation including interest. A repurchase agreement transaction involves certain risks in the event of default or insolvency of the counterparty. These risks include possible delays or restrictions upon a Fund’s ability to dispose of the underlying securities and a possible decline in the value of the underlying securities during the period while the Fund seeks to assert its rights.
Federal Income Taxes
The aggregate cost of securities and other investments and the composition of unrealized appreciation and depreciation for federal income tax purposes as of September 30, 2016 were as follows:
Federal tax cost of investments $273,962,300
Gross unrealized appreciation on investments 42,132,933
Gross unrealized depreciation on investments (12,064,717)
Net unrealized appreciation on investments $30,068,216

September 30, 2016

 


Futures Contracts
The Fund uses futures contracts in order for the Fund to hold cash but maintain index returns with the objective of minimizing tracking error versus the benchmark index. Index futures contracts which are most correlated to the benchmark index and exhibit sufficient liquidity are utilized. A futures contract is an agreement between two parties to buy or sell a specified underlying investment for a fixed price at a specified future date. Futures contracts are generally entered into on a regulated futures exchange and cleared through a clearinghouse associated with the exchange. The use of futures contracts may involve risks such as the possibility of illiquid markets or imperfect correlation between the value of the contracts and the underlying securities that comprise the index, or that the clearinghouse will fail to perform its obligations. The Fund held an average of 31 futures contracts for the reporting period.

Security Valuation
The Board of Directors of the Fund has adopted policies and procedures for the valuation of the Fund’s securities and assets, and has appointed the Fair Value Pricing Committee of the investment adviser, Great-West Capital Management, LLC, to complete valuation determinations under those policies and procedures.
The Fund generally values its securities based on market prices determined at the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) on each day the NYSE is open for trading. The net asset value of each class of the Fund's shares is determined by dividing the net assets attributable to each class of shares of the Fund by the number of issued and outstanding shares of each class of the Fund on each valuation date.
For securities that are traded on only one exchange, the last sale price as of the close of business of that exchange will be used. If the closing price is not available, the current bid as of the close of business will be used. For securities traded on more than one exchange, or upon one or more exchanges and in the over-the-counter (OTC) market, the last sale price as of the close of business on the market which the security is traded most extensively will be used. If the closing price is not available, the current bid as of the close of business will be used. For securities that principally trade on the NASDAQ National Market System, the NASDAQ official closing price will be used.
Short term securities purchased with less than 60 days remaining until maturity and all U.S. Treasury Bills are valued on the basis of amortized cost, which has been determined to approximate fair value. Short term securities purchased with more than 60 days remaining until maturity are valued using pricing services, or in the event a price is not available from a pricing service, may be priced using other methodologies approved by the Board of Directors, including model pricing or pricing on the basis of quotations from brokers or dealers, and will continue to be priced until final maturity.
Foreign equity securities are generally valued using an adjusted systematic fair value price from an independent pricing service. Foreign exchange rates are determined at a time that corresponds to the closing of the NYSE.
For derivatives that are traded on an exchange, the last sale price as of the close of business of the exchange will be used. For derivatives traded over-the-counter (OTC), independent pricing services will be utilized when possible. If a price cannot be located from the primary source, other appropriate sources, which may include the use of an internally developed valuation model, another external pricing vendor or sourcing a price from a broker, may be used.
Independent pricing services are approved by the Board of Directors and are utilized for all investment types when available. In some instances valuations from independent pricing services are not available or do not reflect events in the market between the time the market closed and the valuation time and therefore fair valuation procedures are implemented. The fair value for some securities may be obtained from pricing services or other pricing sources. The inputs used by the pricing services are reviewed quarterly or when the pricing vendor issues updates to its pricing methodologies. Broker quotes are analyzed through an internal review process, which includes a review of known market conditions and other relevant data. Developments that might trigger fair value pricing could be natural disasters, government actions or fluctuations in domestic and foreign markets.
The following table provides examples of the inputs that are commonly used for valuing particular classes of securities. These classifications are not exclusive, and any inputs may be used to value any other security class.
Class Inputs
Common Stock Exchange traded close price, bids, evaluated bids, open and close price of the local exchange, exchange rates, fair values based on significant market movement and various index data.
Short Term Investments Maturity date, credit quality and interest rates.
Futures Contracts Exchange traded close price.

The Fund classifies its valuations into three levels based upon the observability of inputs to the valuation of the Fund’s investments. The valuation levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with the underlying investment. Classification is based on the lowest level of input significant to the fair value measurement. The three levels are defined as follows:
Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices for identical securities in active markets.
Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable either directly or indirectly. These may include quoted prices for similar assets in active markets.
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs to the extent observable inputs are not available and may include prices obtained from single broker quotes. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions and would be based on the best information available under the circumstances.
As of September 30, 2016, the inputs used to value the Fund’s investments are detailed in the following table. More information regarding the sector and industry classifications, as applicable, are included in the Schedule of Investments. The Fund recognizes transfers between levels as of the beginning of the reporting period.  There were no transfers between Levels 1, 2 and 3 during the period.

(a) Futures Contracts are reported at the security’s unrealized appreciation (depreciation), which represents the change in the contract’s value from trade date.
Repurchase Agreements
The Fund may engage in repurchase agreement transactions with institutions that the Fund’s investment adviser has determined are creditworthy. The Fund will purchase securities at a specified price with an agreement to sell the securities to the same counterparty at a specified time, price and interest rate. The Fund’s custodian and/or securities lending agent receives delivery of the underlying securities collateralizing a repurchase agreement. Collateral is at least equal to the value of the repurchase obligation including interest. A repurchase agreement transaction involves certain risks in the event of default or insolvency of the counterparty. These risks include possible delays or restrictions upon a Fund’s ability to dispose of the underlying securities and a possible decline in the value of the underlying securities during the period while the Fund seeks to assert its rights.
Federal Income Taxes
The aggregate cost of securities and other investments and the composition of unrealized appreciation and depreciation for federal income tax purposes as of September 30, 2016 were as follows:
Federal tax cost of investments $1,792,827,108
Gross unrealized appreciation on investments 896,495,747
Gross unrealized depreciation on investments (97,032,393)
Net unrealized appreciation on investments $799,463,354

September 30, 2016

 


Futures Contracts
The Fund uses futures contracts in order for the Fund to hold cash but maintain index returns with the objective of minimizing tracking error versus the benchmark index. Index futures contracts which are most correlated to the benchmark index and exhibit sufficient liquidity are utilized. A futures contract is an agreement between two parties to buy or sell a specified underlying investment for a fixed price at a specified future date. Futures contracts are generally entered into on a regulated futures exchange and cleared through a clearinghouse associated with the exchange. The use of futures contracts may involve risks such as the possibility of illiquid markets or imperfect correlation between the value of the contracts and the underlying securities that comprise the index, or that the clearinghouse will fail to perform its obligations. The Fund held an average of 480 futures contracts for the reporting period.

Notes to Schedule of Investments (Unaudited)

Security Valuation
The Board of Directors of the Fund has adopted policies and procedures for the valuation of the Fund’s securities and assets, and has appointed the Fair Value Pricing Committee of the investment adviser, Great-West Capital Management, LLC, to complete valuation determinations under those policies and procedures.
The Fund generally values its securities based on market prices determined at the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) on each day the NYSE is open for trading. The net asset value of each class of the Fund's shares is determined by dividing the net assets attributable to each class of shares of the Fund by the number of issued and outstanding shares of each class of the Fund on each valuation date.
For securities that are traded on only one exchange, the last sale price as of the close of business of that exchange will be used. If the closing price is not available, the current bid as of the close of business will be used. For securities traded on more than one exchange, or upon one or more exchanges and in the over-the-counter (OTC) market, the last sale price as of the close of business on the market which the security is traded most extensively will be used. If the closing price is not available, the current bid as of the close of business will be used. For securities that principally trade on the NASDAQ National Market System, the NASDAQ official closing price will be used.
Short term securities purchased with less than 60 days remaining until maturity and all U.S. Treasury Bills are valued on the basis of amortized cost, which has been determined to approximate fair value. Short term securities purchased with more than 60 days remaining until maturity are valued using pricing services, or in the event a price is not available from a pricing service, may be priced using other methodologies approved by the Board of Directors, including model pricing or pricing on the basis of quotations from brokers or dealers, and will continue to be priced until final maturity.
Foreign equity securities are generally valued using an adjusted systematic fair value price from an independent pricing service. Foreign exchange rates are determined at a time that corresponds to the closing of the NYSE.
For derivatives that are traded on an exchange, the last sale price as of the close of business of the exchange will be used. For derivatives traded over-the-counter (OTC), independent pricing services will be utilized when possible. If a price cannot be located from the primary source, other appropriate sources, which may include the use of an internally developed valuation model, another external pricing vendor or sourcing a price from a broker, may be used.
Independent pricing services are approved by the Board of Directors and are utilized for all investment types when available. In some instances valuations from independent pricing services are not available or do not reflect events in the market between the time the market closed and the valuation time and therefore fair valuation procedures are implemented. The fair value for some securities may be obtained from pricing services or other pricing sources. The inputs used by the pricing services are reviewed quarterly or when the pricing vendor issues updates to its pricing methodologies. Broker quotes are analyzed through an internal review process, which includes a review of known market conditions and other relevant data. Developments that might trigger fair value pricing could be natural disasters, government actions or fluctuations in domestic and foreign markets.
The following table provides examples of the inputs that are commonly used for valuing particular classes of securities. These classifications are not exclusive, and any inputs may be used to value any other security class.
Class Inputs
Common Stock Exchange traded close price, bids, evaluated bids, open and close price of the local exchange, exchange rates, fair values based on significant market movement and various index data.
Short Term Investments Maturity date, credit quality and interest rates.
Futures Contracts Exchange traded close price.

September 30, 2016

 


The Fund classifies its valuations into three levels based upon the observability of inputs to the valuation of the Fund’s investments. The valuation levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with the underlying investment. Classification is based on the lowest level of input significant to the fair value measurement. The three levels are defined as follows:
Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices for identical securities in active markets.
Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable either directly or indirectly. These may include quoted prices for similar assets in active markets.
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs to the extent observable inputs are not available and may include prices obtained from single broker quotes. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions and would be based on the best information available under the circumstances.
As of September 30, 2016, the inputs used to value the Fund’s investments are detailed in the following table. More information regarding the sector and industry classifications, as applicable, are included in the Schedule of Investments. The Fund recognizes transfers between levels as of the beginning of the reporting period.  There were no transfers between Levels 1, 2 and 3 during the period.

(a) Futures Contracts are reported at the security’s unrealized appreciation (depreciation), which represents the change in the contract’s value from trade date.
Repurchase Agreements
The Fund may engage in repurchase agreement transactions with institutions that the Fund’s investment adviser has determined are creditworthy. The Fund will purchase securities at a specified price with an agreement to sell the securities to the same counterparty at a specified time, price and interest rate. The Fund’s custodian and/or securities lending agent receives delivery of the underlying securities collateralizing a repurchase agreement. Collateral is at least equal to the value of the repurchase obligation including interest. A repurchase agreement transaction involves certain risks in the event of default or insolvency of the counterparty. These risks include possible delays or restrictions upon a Fund’s ability to dispose of the underlying securities and a possible decline in the value of the underlying securities during the period while the Fund seeks to assert its rights.
Federal Income Taxes
The aggregate cost of securities and other investments and the composition of unrealized appreciation and depreciation for federal income tax purposes as of September 30, 2016 were as follows:
Federal tax cost of investments $705,614,768
Gross unrealized appreciation on investments 137,923,232
Gross unrealized depreciation on investments (50,647,971)
Net unrealized appreciation on investments $87,275,261

The Fund uses futures contracts in order for the Fund to hold cash but maintain index returns with the objective of minimizing tracking error versus the benchmark index. Index futures contracts which are most correlated to the benchmark index and exhibit sufficient liquidity are utilized. A futures contract is an agreement between two parties to buy or sell a specified underlying investment for a fixed price at a specified future date. Futures contracts are generally entered into on a regulated futures exchange and cleared through a clearinghouse associated with the exchange. The use of futures contracts may involve risks such as the possibility of illiquid markets or imperfect correlation between the value of the contracts and the underlying securities that comprise the index, or that the clearinghouse will fail to perform its obligations. The Fund held an average of 87 futures contracts for the reporting period.

Security Valuation
The Board of Directors of the Fund has adopted policies and procedures for the valuation of the Fund’s securities and assets, and has appointed the Fair Value Pricing Committee of the investment adviser, Great-West Capital Management, LLC, to complete valuation determinations under those policies and procedures.
The Fund generally values its securities based on market prices determined at the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) on each day the NYSE is open for trading. The net asset value of each class of the Fund's shares is determined by dividing the net assets attributable to each class of shares of the Fund by the number of issued and outstanding shares of each class of the Fund on each valuation date.
For securities that are traded on only one exchange, the last sale price as of the close of business of that exchange will be used. If the closing price is not available, the current bid as of the close of business will be used. For securities traded on more than one exchange, or upon one or more exchanges and in the over-the-counter (OTC) market, the last sale price as of the close of business on the market which the security is traded most extensively will be used. If the closing price is not available, the current bid as of the close of business will be used. For securities that principally trade on the NASDAQ National Market System, the NASDAQ official closing price will be used.
Short term securities purchased with less than 60 days remaining until maturity and all U.S. Treasury Bills are valued on the basis of amortized cost, which has been determined to approximate fair value. Short term securities purchased with more than 60 days remaining until maturity are valued using pricing services, or in the event a price is not available from a pricing service, may be priced using other methodologies approved by the Board of Directors, including model pricing or pricing on the basis of quotations from brokers or dealers, and will continue to be priced until final maturity.
Foreign equity securities are generally valued using an adjusted systematic fair value price from an independent pricing service. Foreign exchange rates are determined at a time that corresponds to the closing of the NYSE.
For derivatives that are traded on an exchange, the last sale price as of the close of business of the exchange will be used. For derivatives traded over-the-counter (OTC), independent pricing services will be utilized when possible. If a price cannot be located from the primary source, other appropriate sources, which may include the use of an internally developed valuation model, another external pricing vendor or sourcing a price from a broker, may be used.
Independent pricing services are approved by the Board of Directors and are utilized for all investment types when available. In some instances valuations from independent pricing services are not available or do not reflect events in the market between the time the market closed and the valuation time and therefore fair valuation procedures are implemented. The fair value for some securities may be obtained from pricing services or other pricing sources. The inputs used by the pricing services are reviewed quarterly or when the pricing vendor issues updates to its pricing methodologies. Broker quotes are analyzed through an internal review process, which includes a review of known market conditions and other relevant data. Developments that might trigger fair value pricing could be natural disasters, government actions or fluctuations in domestic and foreign markets.
The following table provides examples of the inputs that are commonly used for valuing particular classes of securities. These classifications are not exclusive, and any inputs may be used to value any other security class.
Class Inputs
Common Stock Exchange traded close price, bids, evaluated bids, open and close price of the local exchange, exchange rates, fair values based on significant market movement and various index data.
Short Term Investments Maturity date, credit quality and interest rates.
Futures Contracts Exchange traded close price.

The Fund classifies its valuations into three levels based upon the observability of inputs to the valuation of the Fund’s investments. The valuation levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with the underlying investment. Classification is based on the lowest level of input significant to the fair value measurement. The three levels are defined as follows:
Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices for identical securities in active markets.
Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable either directly or indirectly. These may include quoted prices for similar assets in active markets.
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs to the extent observable inputs are not available and may include prices obtained from single broker quotes. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions and would be based on the best information available under the circumstances.
As of September 30, 2016, the inputs used to value the Fund’s investments are detailed in the following table. More information regarding the sector and industry classifications, as applicable, are included in the Schedule of Investments. The Fund recognizes transfers between levels as of the beginning of the reporting period.  There were no transfers between Levels 1, 2 and 3 during the period.

(a) Futures Contracts are reported at the security’s unrealized appreciation (depreciation), which represents the change in the contract’s value from trade date.
Repurchase Agreements
The Fund may engage in repurchase agreement transactions with institutions that the Fund’s investment adviser has determined are creditworthy. The Fund will purchase securities at a specified price with an agreement to sell the securities to the same counterparty at a specified time, price and interest rate. The Fund’s custodian and/or securities lending agent receives delivery of the underlying securities collateralizing a repurchase agreement. Collateral is at least equal to the value of the repurchase obligation including interest. A repurchase agreement transaction involves certain risks in the event of default or insolvency of the counterparty. These risks include possible delays or restrictions upon a Fund’s ability to dispose of the underlying securities and a possible decline in the value of the underlying securities during the period while the Fund seeks to assert its rights.
Federal Income Taxes
The aggregate cost of securities and other investments and the composition of unrealized appreciation and depreciation for federal income tax purposes as of September 30, 2016 were as follows:
Federal tax cost of investments $773,889,631
Gross unrealized appreciation on investments 206,361,818
Gross unrealized depreciation on investments (73,116,966)
Net unrealized appreciation on investments $133,244,852

September 30, 2016

 


Futures Contracts
The Fund uses futures contracts in order for the Fund to hold cash but maintain index returns with the objective of minimizing tracking error versus the benchmark index. Index futures contracts which are most correlated to the benchmark index and exhibit sufficient liquidity are utilized. A futures contract is an agreement between two parties to buy or sell a specified underlying investment for a fixed price at a specified future date. Futures contracts are generally entered into on a regulated futures exchange and cleared through a clearinghouse associated with the exchange. The use of futures contracts may involve risks such as the possibility of illiquid markets or imperfect correlation between the value of the contracts and the underlying securities that comprise the index, or that the clearinghouse will fail to perform its obligations. The Fund held an average of 101 futures contracts for the reporting period.

Security Valuation
The Board of Directors of the Fund has adopted policies and procedures for the valuation of the Fund’s securities and assets, and has appointed the Fair Value Pricing Committee of the investment adviser, Great-West Capital Management, LLC, to complete valuation determinations under those policies and procedures.
The Fund generally values its securities based on market prices determined at the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) on each day the NYSE is open for trading. The net asset value of each class of the Fund's shares is determined by dividing the net assets attributable to each class of shares of the Fund by the number of issued and outstanding shares of each class of the Fund on each valuation date.
Short term securities purchased with less than 60 days remaining until maturity and all U.S. Treasury Bills are valued on the basis of amortized cost, which has been determined to approximate fair value. Short term securities purchased with more than 60 days remaining until maturity are valued using pricing services, or in the event a price is not available from a pricing service, may be priced using other methodologies approved by the Board of Directors, including model pricing or pricing on the basis of quotations from brokers or dealers, and will continue to be priced until final maturity.
Fixed income investments, including bank loans, are valued using evaluated bid prices from approved pricing services when available and appropriate based on the conditions of the market. If a price cannot be located from either the primary or secondary sources, or if the market is determined to be illiquid or inactive, other appropriate sources, which may include the use of an internally developed valuation model, another external pricing vendor or sourcing a price from a broker, may be used.
Foreign exchange rates are determined at a time that corresponds to the closing of the NYSE.
Independent pricing services are approved by the Board of Directors and are utilized for all investment types when available. In some instances valuations from independent pricing services are not available or do not reflect events in the market between the time the market closed and the valuation time and therefore fair valuation procedures are implemented. The fair value for some securities may be obtained from pricing services or other pricing sources. The inputs used by the pricing services are reviewed quarterly or when the pricing vendor issues updates to its pricing methodologies. Broker quotes are analyzed through an internal review process, which includes a review of known market conditions and other relevant data. Developments that might trigger fair value pricing could be natural disasters, government actions or fluctuations in domestic and foreign markets.
The following table provides examples of the inputs that are commonly used for valuing particular classes of securities. These classifications are not exclusive, and any inputs may be used to value any other security class.
Class Inputs
Asset-Backed Securities Benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided markets, benchmark securities, bids, evaluated bids, offers and reference data including market research publications. Inputs may also include new issue data, collateral performance, and monthly payment information.
Bank Loans Broker quotes, Loan Syndications and Trading Association daily marks, loan analytics and market news.
Corporate Bonds and Notes Benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided markets, benchmark securities, bids, evaluated bids, offers and reference data including market research publications. Inputs also may include observations of equity and credit default swap curves related to issuer.
Mortgage-Backed Securities Benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided markets, benchmark securities, bids, evaluated bids, offers and reference data including market

September 30, 2016

 


  research publications. Inputs may also include new issue data, collateral performance, TBA prices, monthly payment information and third party real estate analysis.
Short Term Investments Maturity date, credit quality and interest rates.
The Fund classifies its valuations into three levels based upon the observability of inputs to the valuation of the Fund’s investments. The valuation levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with the underlying investment. Classification is based on the lowest level of input significant to the fair value measurement. The three levels are defined as follows:
Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices for identical securities in active markets.
Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable either directly or indirectly. These may include quoted prices for similar assets in active markets.
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs to the extent observable inputs are not available and may include prices obtained from single broker quotes. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions and would be based on the best information available under the circumstances.
As of September 30, 2016, 100% of the Fund’s investments are valued using Level 2 inputs. More information regarding the sector and industry classifications, as applicable, are included in the Schedule of Investments. The Fund recognizes transfers between levels as of the beginning of the reporting period. There were no transfers between Levels 1, 2 and 3 during the period.
Repurchase Agreements
The Fund may engage in repurchase agreement transactions with institutions that the Fund’s investment adviser has determined are creditworthy. The Fund will purchase securities at a specified price with an agreement to sell the securities to the same counterparty at a specified time, price and interest rate. The Fund’s custodian and/or securities lending agent receives delivery of the underlying securities collateralizing a repurchase agreement. Collateral is at least equal to the value of the repurchase obligation including interest. A repurchase agreement transaction involves certain risks in the event of default or insolvency of the counterparty. These risks include possible delays or restrictions upon a Fund’s ability to dispose of the underlying securities and a possible decline in the value of the underlying securities during the period while the Fund seeks to assert its rights.
Federal Income Taxes
The aggregate cost of securities and other investments and the composition of unrealized appreciation and depreciation for federal income tax purposes as of September 30, 2016 were as follows:
Federal tax cost of investments $193,602,166
Gross unrealized appreciation on investments 1,005,163
Gross unrealized depreciation on investments (282,687)
Net unrealized appreciation on investments $722,476

GREAT-WEST FUNDS, INC.

Notes to Schedule of Investments (Unaudited)

Security Valuation
The Board of Directors of the Fund has adopted policies and procedures for the valuation of the Fund’s securities and assets, and has appointed the Fair Value Pricing Committee of the investment adviser, Great-West Capital Management, LLC, to complete valuation determinations under those policies and procedures.
The Fund generally values its securities based on market prices determined at the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) on each day the NYSE is open for trading. The net asset value of each class of the Fund's shares is determined by dividing the net assets attributable to each class of shares of the Fund by the number of issued and outstanding shares of each class of the Fund on each valuation date.
For securities that are traded on only one exchange, the last sale price as of the close of business of that exchange will be used. If the closing price is not available, the current bid as of the close of business will be used. For securities traded on more than one exchange, or upon one or more exchanges and in the over-the-counter (OTC) market, the last sale price as of the close of business on the market which the security is traded most extensively will be used. If the closing price is not available, the current bid as of the close of business will be used. For securities that principally trade on the NASDAQ National Market System, the NASDAQ official closing price will be used.
Short term securities purchased with less than 60 days remaining until maturity and all U.S. Treasury Bills are valued on the basis of amortized cost, which has been determined to approximate fair value. Short term securities purchased with more than 60 days remaining until maturity are valued using pricing services, or in the event a price is not available from a pricing service, may be priced using other methodologies approved by the Board of Directors, including model pricing or pricing on the basis of quotations from brokers or dealers, and will continue to be priced until final maturity.
Foreign equity securities are generally valued using an adjusted systematic fair value price from an independent pricing service. Foreign exchange rates are determined at a time that corresponds to the closing of the NYSE.
For derivatives that are traded on an exchange, the last sale price as of the close of business of the exchange will be used. For derivatives traded over-the-counter (OTC), independent pricing services will be utilized when possible. If a price cannot be located from the primary source, other appropriate sources, which may include the use of an internally developed valuation model, another external pricing vendor or sourcing a price from a broker, may be used.
Independent pricing services are approved by the Board of Directors and are utilized for all investment types when available. In some instances valuations from independent pricing services are not available or do not reflect events in the market between the time the market closed and the valuation time and therefore fair valuation procedures are implemented. The fair value for some securities may be obtained from pricing services or other pricing sources. The inputs used by the pricing services are reviewed quarterly or when the pricing vendor issues updates to its pricing methodologies. Broker quotes are analyzed through an internal review process, which includes a review of known market conditions and other relevant data. Developments that might trigger fair value pricing could be natural disasters, government actions or fluctuations in domestic and foreign markets.
The following table provides examples of the inputs that are commonly used for valuing particular classes of securities. These classifications are not exclusive, and any inputs may be used to value any other security class.
Class Inputs
Common Stock Exchange traded close price, bids, evaluated bids, open and close price of the local exchange, exchange rates, fair values based on significant market movement and various index data.
Short Term Investments Maturity date, credit quality and interest rates.
Futures Contracts Exchange traded close price.

The Fund classifies its valuations into three levels based upon the observability of inputs to the valuation of the Fund’s investments. The valuation levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with the underlying investment. Classification is based on the lowest level of input significant to the fair value measurement. The three levels are defined as follows:
Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices for identical securities in active markets.
Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable either directly or indirectly. These may include quoted prices for similar assets in active markets.
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs to the extent observable inputs are not available and may include prices obtained from single broker quotes. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions and would be based on the best information available under the circumstances.
As of September 30, 2016, the inputs used to value the Fund’s investments are detailed in the following table. More information regarding the sector and industry classifications, as applicable, are included in the Schedule of Investments. The Fund recognizes transfers between levels as of the beginning of the reporting period.  There were no transfers between Levels 1, 2 and 3 during the period.

(a) Futures Contracts are reported at the security’s unrealized appreciation (depreciation), which represents the change in the contract’s value from trade date.
Repurchase Agreements
The Fund may engage in repurchase agreement transactions with institutions that the Fund’s investment adviser has determined are creditworthy. The Fund will purchase securities at a specified price with an agreement to sell the securities to the same counterparty at a specified time, price and interest rate. The Fund’s custodian and/or securities lending agent receives delivery of the underlying securities collateralizing a repurchase agreement. Collateral is at least equal to the value of the repurchase obligation including interest. A repurchase agreement transaction involves certain risks in the event of default or insolvency of the counterparty. These risks include possible delays or restrictions upon a Fund’s ability to dispose of the underlying securities and a possible decline in the value of the underlying securities during the period while the Fund seeks to assert its rights.
Federal Income Taxes
The aggregate cost of securities and other investments and the composition of unrealized appreciation and depreciation for federal income tax purposes as of September 30, 2016 were as follows:
Federal tax cost of investments $177,381,040
Gross unrealized appreciation on investments 134,437,515
Gross unrealized depreciation on investments (17,923,918)
Net unrealized appreciation on investments $116,513,597

September 30, 2016

 


Futures Contracts
The Fund uses futures contracts in order for the Fund to hold cash but maintain index returns with the objective of minimizing tracking error versus the benchmark index. Index futures contracts which are most correlated to the benchmark index and exhibit sufficient liquidity are utilized. A futures contract is an agreement between two parties to buy or sell a specified underlying investment for a fixed price at a specified future date. Futures contracts are generally entered into on a regulated futures exchange and cleared through a clearinghouse associated with the exchange. The use of futures contracts may involve risks such as the possibility of illiquid markets or imperfect correlation between the value of the contracts and the underlying securities that comprise the index, or that the clearinghouse will fail to perform its obligations. The Fund held an average of 44 futures contracts for the reporting period.

GREAT-WEST FUNDS, INC.
GREAT-WEST T. ROWE PRICE EQUITY INCOME FUND
Notes to Schedule of Investments (Unaudited)

Security Valuation
The Board of Directors of the Fund has adopted policies and procedures for the valuation of the Fund’s securities and assets, and has appointed the Fair Value Pricing Committee of the investment adviser, Great-West Capital Management, LLC, to complete valuation determinations under those policies and procedures.
The Fund generally values its securities based on market prices determined at the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) on each day the NYSE is open for trading. The net asset value of each class of the Fund's shares is determined by dividing the net assets attributable to each class of shares of the Fund by the number of issued and outstanding shares of each class of the Fund on each valuation date.
For securities that are traded on only one exchange, the last sale price as of the close of business of that exchange will be used. If the closing price is not available, the current bid as of the close of business will be used. For securities traded on more than one exchange, or upon one or more exchanges and in the over-the-counter (OTC) market, the last sale price as of the close of business on the market which the security is traded most extensively will be used. If the closing price is not available, the current bid as of the close of business will be used. For securities that principally trade on the NASDAQ National Market System, the NASDAQ official closing price will be used.
Short term securities purchased with less than 60 days remaining until maturity and all U.S. Treasury Bills are valued on the basis of amortized cost, which has been determined to approximate fair value. Short term securities purchased with more than 60 days remaining until maturity are valued using pricing services, or in the event a price is not available from a pricing service, may be priced using other methodologies approved by the Board of Directors, including model pricing or pricing on the basis of quotations from brokers or dealers, and will continue to be priced until final maturity.
Fixed income investments are valued using evaluated bid prices from approved pricing services when available and appropriate based on the conditions of the market. If a price cannot be located from either the primary or secondary sources, or if the market is determined to be illiquid or inactive, other appropriate sources, which may include the use of an internally developed valuation model, another external pricing vendor or sourcing a price from a broker, may be used.
Foreign equity securities are generally valued using an adjusted systematic fair value price from an independent pricing service. Foreign exchange rates are determined at a time that corresponds to the closing of the NYSE.
Independent pricing services are approved by the Board of Directors and are utilized for all investment types when available. In some instances valuations from independent pricing services are not available or do not reflect events in the market between the time the market closed and the valuation time and therefore fair valuation procedures are implemented. The fair value for some securities may be obtained from pricing services or other pricing sources. The inputs used by the pricing services are reviewed quarterly or when the pricing vendor issues updates to its pricing methodologies. Broker quotes are analyzed through an internal review process, which includes a review of known market conditions and other relevant data. Developments that might trigger fair value pricing could be natural disasters, government actions or fluctuations in domestic and foreign markets.

September 30, 2016

 


The following table provides examples of the inputs that are commonly used for valuing particular classes of securities. These classifications are not exclusive, and any inputs may be used to value any other security class.
Class Inputs
Corporate Bonds and Notes Benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided markets, benchmark securities, bids, evaluated bids, offers and reference data including market research publications. Inputs also may include observations of equity and credit default swap curves related to issuer.
Common Stock Exchange traded close price, bids, evaluated bids, open and close price of the local exchange, exchange rates, fair values based on significant market movement and various index data.
Preferred Stock Benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided markets, benchmark securities, bids, evaluated bids, offers and reference data including market research publications. Inputs also may include exchange prices.
Short Term Investments Maturity date, credit quality and interest rates.
The Fund classifies its valuations into three levels based upon the observability of inputs to the valuation of the Fund’s investments. The valuation levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with the underlying investment. Classification is based on the lowest level of input significant to the fair value measurement. The three levels are defined as follows:
Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices for identical securities in active markets.
Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable either directly or indirectly. These may include quoted prices for similar assets in active markets.
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs to the extent observable inputs are not available and may include prices obtained from single broker quotes. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions and would be based on the best information available under the circumstances.
As of September 30, 2016, the inputs used to value the Fund’s investments are detailed in the following table. More information regarding the sector and industry classifications, as applicable, are included in the Schedule of Investments. The Fund recognizes transfers between levels as of the beginning of the reporting period.  There were no transfers between Levels 1, 2 and 3 during the period.

Repurchase Agreements
The Fund may engage in repurchase agreement transactions with institutions that the Fund’s investment adviser has determined are creditworthy. The Fund will purchase securities at a specified price with an agreement to sell the securities to the same counterparty at a specified time, price and interest rate. The Fund’s custodian and/or securities lending agent receives delivery of the underlying securities collateralizing a repurchase agreement. Collateral is at least equal to the value of the repurchase obligation including interest. A repurchase agreement transaction involves certain risks in the event of default or insolvency of the counterparty. These risks include possible delays or restrictions upon a Fund’s ability to dispose of the underlying securities and a possible decline in the value of the underlying securities during the period while the Fund seeks to assert its rights.

GREAT-WEST T. ROWE PRICE MID CAP GROWTH FUND
Notes to Schedule of Investments (Unaudited)

Security Valuation
The Board of Directors of the Fund has adopted policies and procedures for the valuation of the Fund’s securities and assets, and has appointed the Fair Value Pricing Committee of the investment adviser, Great-West Capital Management, LLC, to complete valuation determinations under those policies and procedures.
The Fund generally values its securities based on market prices determined at the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) on each day the NYSE is open for trading. The net asset value of each class of the Fund's shares is determined by dividing the net assets attributable to each class of shares of the Fund by the number of issued and outstanding shares of each class of the Fund on each valuation date.
For securities that are traded on only one exchange, the last sale price as of the close of business of that exchange will be used. If the closing price is not available, the current bid as of the close of business will be used. For securities traded on more than one exchange, or upon one or more exchanges and in the over-the-counter (OTC) market, the last sale price as of the close of business on the market which the security is traded most extensively will be used. If the closing price is not available, the current bid as of the close of business will be used. For securities that principally trade on the NASDAQ National Market System, the NASDAQ official closing price will be used.
For private equity securities that are not traded on an exchange an appropriate source, which may include the use of an internally developed or approved valuation model, a different external pricing vendor, or sourcing a price from a broker will be used. Valuation of these securities will be reviewed regularly by the Fair Value Pricing Committee.
Short term securities purchased with less than 60 days remaining until maturity and all U.S. Treasury Bills are valued on the basis of amortized cost, which has been determined to approximate fair value. Short term securities purchased with more than 60 days remaining until maturity are valued using pricing services, or in the event a price is not available from a pricing service, may be priced using other methodologies approved by the Board of Directors, including model pricing or pricing on the basis of quotations from brokers or dealers, and will continue to be priced until final maturity.
Foreign equity securities are generally valued using an adjusted systematic fair value price from an independent pricing service. Foreign exchange rates are determined at a time that corresponds to the closing of the NYSE.
Independent pricing services are approved by the Board of Directors and are utilized for all investment types when available. In some instances valuations from independent pricing services are not available or do not reflect events in the market between the time the market closed and the valuation time and therefore fair valuation procedures are implemented. The fair value for some securities may be obtained from pricing services or other pricing sources. The inputs used by the pricing services are reviewed quarterly or when the pricing vendor issues updates to its pricing methodologies. Broker quotes are analyzed through an internal review process, which includes a review of known market conditions and other relevant data. Developments that might trigger fair value pricing could be natural disasters, government actions or fluctuations in domestic and foreign markets.
The following table provides examples of the inputs that are commonly used for valuing particular classes of securities. These classifications are not exclusive, and any inputs may be used to value any other security class.
Class Inputs
Common Stock Exchange traded close price, bids, evaluated bids, open and close price of the local exchange, exchange rates, fair values based on significant market movement and various index data.
Convertible Preferred Stock Benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided markets, benchmark securities, bids, evaluated bids, offers and reference data including market research publications. Inputs also may include exchange prices.
Short Term Investments Maturity date, credit quality and interest rates.

September 30, 2016

 


The Fund classifies its valuations into three levels based upon the observability of inputs to the valuation of the Fund’s investments. The valuation levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with the underlying investment. Classification is based on the lowest level of input significant to the fair value measurement. The three levels are defined as follows:
Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices for identical securities in active markets.
Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable either directly or indirectly. These may include quoted prices for similar assets in active markets.
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs to the extent observable inputs are not available and may include prices obtained from single broker quotes. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions and would be based on the best information available under the circumstances.
As of September 30, 2016, the inputs used to value the Fund’s investments are detailed in the following table. More information regarding the sector and industry classifications, as applicable, are included in the Schedule of Investments. The Fund recognizes transfers between levels as of the beginning of the reporting period.  There were no transfers between Levels 1, 2 and 3 during the period.

Restricted Securities
Investments in securities include issues that are restricted. A restricted security may have contractual restrictions on resale and is valued under methods approved by the Board of Directors reflecting fair value. Restricted securities are marked with an applicable footnote on the Schedule of Investments and are reported in a table following the Schedule of Investments.
Repurchase Agreements
The Fund may engage in repurchase agreement transactions with institutions that the Fund’s investment adviser has determined are creditworthy. The Fund will purchase securities at a specified price with an agreement to sell the securities to the same counterparty at a specified time, price and interest rate. The Fund’s custodian and/or securities lending agent receives delivery of the underlying securities collateralizing a repurchase agreement. Collateral is at least equal to the value of the repurchase obligation including interest. A repurchase agreement transaction involves certain risks in the event of default or insolvency of the counterparty. These risks include possible delays or restrictions upon a Fund’s ability to dispose of the underlying securities and a possible decline in the value of the underlying securities during the period while the Fund seeks to assert its rights.
Federal Income Taxes
The aggregate cost of securities and other investments and the composition of unrealized appreciation and depreciation for federal income tax purposes as of September 30, 2016 were as follows:
Federal tax cost of investments $958,580,867
Gross unrealized appreciation on investments 268,310,656
Gross unrealized depreciation on investments (27,578,859)
Net unrealized appreciation on investments $240,731,797

GREAT-WEST FUNDS, INC.
GREAT-WEST TEMPLETON GLOBAL BOND FUND
Notes to Schedule of Investments (Unaudited)

Security Valuation
The Board of Directors of the Fund has adopted policies and procedures for the valuation of the Fund’s securities and assets, and has appointed the Fair Value Pricing Committee of the investment adviser, Great-West Capital Management, LLC, to complete valuation determinations under those policies and procedures.
The Fund generally values its securities based on market prices determined at the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) on each day the NYSE is open for trading. The net asset value of each class of the Fund's shares is determined by dividing the net assets attributable to each class of shares of the Fund by the number of issued and outstanding shares of each class of the Fund on each valuation date.
Short term securities purchased with less than 60 days remaining until maturity and all U.S. Treasury Bills are valued on the basis of amortized cost, which has been determined to approximate fair value. Short term securities purchased with more than 60 days remaining until maturity are valued using pricing services, or in the event a price is not available from a pricing service, may be priced using other methodologies approved by the Board of Directors, including model pricing or pricing on the basis of quotations from brokers or dealers, and will continue to be priced until final maturity.
Fixed income investments are valued using evaluated bid prices from approved pricing services when available and appropriate based on the conditions of the market. If a price cannot be located from either the primary or secondary sources, or if the market is determined to be illiquid or inactive, other appropriate sources, which may include the use of an internally developed valuation model, another external pricing vendor or sourcing a price from a broker, may be used.
Foreign exchange rates are determined at a time that corresponds to the closing of the NYSE.
For derivatives that are traded on an exchange, the last sale price as of the close of business of the exchange will be used. For derivatives traded over-the-counter (OTC), independent pricing services will be utilized when possible. If a price cannot be located from the primary source, other appropriate sources, which may include the use of an internally developed valuation model, another external pricing vendor or sourcing a price from a broker, may be used.
Independent pricing services are approved by the Board of Directors and are utilized for all investment types when available. In some instances valuations from independent pricing services are not available or do not reflect events in the market between the time the market closed and the valuation time and therefore fair valuation procedures are implemented. The fair value for some securities may be obtained from pricing services or other pricing sources. The inputs used by the pricing services are reviewed quarterly or when the pricing vendor issues updates to its pricing methodologies. Broker quotes are analyzed through an internal review process, which includes a review of known market conditions and other relevant data. Developments that might trigger fair value pricing could be natural disasters, government actions or fluctuations in domestic and foreign markets.
The following table provides examples of the inputs that are commonly used for valuing particular classes of securities. These classifications are not exclusive, and any inputs may be used to value any other security class.
Class Inputs
Foreign Government Bonds and Notes Benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided markets, benchmark securities, bids, evaluated bids, offers and reference data including market research publications. Inputs also may include observations of equity and credit default swap curves related to issuer.
Short Term Investments Maturity date, credit quality and interest rates.
Forward Foreign Currency Contracts Foreign currency spot and forward rates.
Interest Rate Swaps Interest rate curves, LIBOR curves, reported trades and swap curves.

September 30, 2016

 


The Fund classifies its valuations into three levels based upon the observability of inputs to the valuation of the Fund’s investments. The valuation levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with the underlying investment. Classification is based on the lowest level of input significant to the fair value measurement. The three levels are defined as follows:
Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices for identical securities in active markets.
Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable either directly or indirectly. These may include quoted prices for similar assets in active markets.
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs to the extent observable inputs are not available and may include prices obtained from single broker quotes. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions and would be based on the best information available under the circumstances.
As of September 30, 2016, 100% of the Fund’s investments are valued using Level 2 inputs. More information regarding the sector, industry or geography classifications, as applicable, are included in the Schedule of Investments. The Fund recognizes transfers between levels as of the beginning of the reporting period.  There were no transfers between Levels 1, 2 and 3 during the period.
Federal Income Taxes
The aggregate cost of securities and other investments and the composition of unrealized appreciation and depreciation for federal income tax purposes as of September 30, 2016 were as follows:
Federal tax cost of investments $275,127,232
Gross unrealized appreciation on investments 14,149,443
Gross unrealized depreciation on investments (18,318,776)
Net unrealized depreciation on investments $(4,169,333)
Forward Foreign Currency Contracts
The Fund enters into OTC forward foreign currency contracts (forward contracts) primarily to capture potential returns from changes in international exchange rates or to reduce the risk of undesired currency exposure. A forward contract is a commitment to purchase or sell a foreign currency at a future date at a negotiated rate. The Fund held an average notional value of $357,698,895 in forward contracts for the reporting period.
Interest Rate Swaps
The Fund enters into interest rate swap contracts primarily to manage interest rate risk. An interest rate swap is an agreement between two parties to exchange interest rate payment obligations. Typically, one is based on an interest rate fixed to maturity while the other is based on an interest rate that changes in accordance with changes in a designated benchmark (for example, the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR), prime rate, commercial paper rate, or other benchmarks). Each party’s payment obligation under an interest rate swap is determined by reference to a specified notional amount of money. Therefore, interest rate swaps generally do not involve the delivery of securities, other underlying instruments, or principal amounts; rather they entail the exchange of cash payments based on the application of the designated interest rates to the notional amount. These agreements may be privately negotiated in the over-the-counter market (OTC interest rate swaps) or may be executed on a registered exchange (centrally cleared interest rate swaps). The Fund held an average notional value of $72,290,000 in interest rate swaps for the reporting period.

Security Valuation
The Board of Directors of the Fund has adopted policies and procedures for the valuation of the Fund’s securities and assets, and has appointed the Fair Value Pricing Committee of the investment adviser, Great-West Capital Management, LLC, to complete valuation determinations under those policies and procedures.
The Fund generally values its securities based on market prices determined at the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) on each day the NYSE is open for trading. The net asset value of each class of the Fund's shares is determined by dividing the net assets attributable to each class of shares of the Fund by the number of issued and outstanding shares of each class of the Fund on each valuation date.
Short term securities purchased with less than 60 days remaining until maturity and all U.S. Treasury Bills are valued on the basis of amortized cost, which has been determined to approximate fair value. Short term securities purchased with more than 60 days remaining until maturity are valued using pricing services, or in the event a price is not available from a pricing service, may be priced using other methodologies approved by the Board of Directors, including model pricing or pricing on the basis of quotations from brokers or dealers, and will continue to be priced until final maturity.
Fixed income investments, including bank loans, are valued using evaluated bid prices from approved pricing services when available and appropriate based on the conditions of the market. If a price cannot be located from either the primary or secondary sources, or if the market is determined to be illiquid or inactive, other appropriate sources, which may include the use of an internally developed valuation model, another external pricing vendor or sourcing a price from a broker, may be used.
Independent pricing services are approved by the Board of Directors and are utilized for all investment types when available. In some instances valuations from independent pricing services are not available or do not reflect events in the market between the time the market closed and the valuation time and therefore fair valuation procedures are implemented. The fair value for some securities may be obtained from pricing services or other pricing sources. The inputs used by the pricing services are reviewed quarterly or when the pricing vendor issues updates to its pricing methodologies. Broker quotes are analyzed through an internal review process, which includes a review of known market conditions and other relevant data. Developments that might trigger fair value pricing could be natural disasters, government actions or fluctuations in domestic and foreign markets.
The following table provides examples of the inputs that are commonly used for valuing particular classes of securities. These classifications are not exclusive, and any inputs may be used to value any other security class.
Class Inputs
Asset-Backed Securities Benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided markets, benchmark securities, bids, evaluated bids, offers and reference data including market research publications. Inputs may also include new issue data, collateral performance, and monthly payment information.
Bank Loans Broker quotes, Loan Syndications and Trading Association daily marks, loan analytics and market news.
Corporate Bonds and Notes Benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided markets, benchmark securities, bids, evaluated bids, offers and reference data including market research publications. Inputs also may include observations of equity and credit default swap curves related to issuer.
Mortgage-Backed Securities Benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided markets, benchmark securities, bids, evaluated bids, offers and reference data including market research publications. Inputs may also include new issue data, collateral performance, TBA prices, monthly payment information and third party real estate analysis.

Short Term Investments Maturity date, credit quality and interest rates.
The Fund classifies its valuations into three levels based upon the observability of inputs to the valuation of the Fund’s investments. The valuation levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with the underlying investment. Classification is based on the lowest level of input significant to the fair value measurement. The three levels are defined as follows:
Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices for identical securities in active markets.
Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable either directly or indirectly. These may include quoted prices for similar assets in active markets.
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs to the extent observable inputs are not available and may include prices obtained from single broker quotes. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions and would be based on the best information available under the circumstances.
As of September 30, 2016, 100% of the Fund’s investments are valued using Level 2 inputs. More information regarding the sector and industry classifications, as applicable, are included in the Schedule of Investments. The Fund recognizes transfers between levels as of the beginning of the reporting period. There were no transfers between Levels 1, 2 and 3 during the period.
Repurchase Agreements
The Fund may engage in repurchase agreement transactions with institutions that the Fund’s investment adviser has determined are creditworthy. The Fund will purchase securities at a specified price with an agreement to sell the securities to the same counterparty at a specified time, price and interest rate. The Fund’s custodian and/or securities lending agent receives delivery of the underlying securities collateralizing a repurchase agreement. Collateral is at least equal to the value of the repurchase obligation including interest. A repurchase agreement transaction involves certain risks in the event of default or insolvency of the counterparty. These risks include possible delays or restrictions upon a Fund’s ability to dispose of the underlying securities and a possible decline in the value of the underlying securities during the period while the Fund seeks to assert its rights.
To Be Announced Transactions
The Fund may invest in securities known as To Be Announced (TBA) securities. TBA’s are Federal National Mortgage Association, Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation or Government National Mortgage Association issued mortgage backed securities for forward settlement, in which the buyer and seller decide on trade parameters, but the exact pools are unknown until two days before settlement date. The transactions arise when securities are purchased or sold with payment and delivery taking place in the future in order to secure what is considered to be an advantageous price and yield at the time of entering into the transaction. TBA transactions generally settle monthly on a specified date.
Dollar Rolls
The Fund may enter into dollar roll transactions, pursuant to which it sells a mortgage-backed TBA or security and simultaneously agrees to purchase a similar, but not identical, TBA with the same issuer, rate, and terms on a later date at a set price from the same counterparty. The Fund may execute a “roll” to obtain better underlying mortgage securities or to enhance returns. The Fund generally enters into dollar roll transactions with the intention of taking possession of the underlying mortgage securities but may close a contract prior to settlement or “roll” settlement to a later date if deemed to be in the best interest of the Fund. Actual mortgages received by the Fund may be less favorable than those anticipated. The Fund accounts for dollar roll transactions as purchases and sales, which has the effect of increasing its portfolio turnover rate.

Federal Income Taxes
The aggregate cost of securities and other investments and the composition of unrealized appreciation and depreciation for federal income tax purposes as of September 30, 2016 were as follows:
Federal tax cost of investments $381,269,501
Gross unrealized appreciation on investments 8,646,681
Gross unrealized depreciation on investments (263,525)
Net unrealized appreciation on investments $8,383,156

Security Valuation
The Board of Directors of the Funds has adopted policies and procedures for the valuation of each Fund's securities and assets, and has appointed the Fair Value Pricing Committee of the investment adviser, Great-West Capital Management, LLC, to complete valuation determinations under those policies and procedures.
Investments in shares of the underlying mutual funds are valued at the net asset value as reported by the underlying mutual fund, which may be obtained from pricing services or other pricing sources. The inputs used by the pricing services are reviewed quarterly or when the pricing vendor issues updates to its pricing methodologies. The net asset value of each class of the Fund's shares is determined by dividing the net assets attributable to each class of shares of the Fund by the number of issued and outstanding shares of each class of the Fund on each valuation date.
Investments in fixed interest contracts issued by Great-West Life & Annuity Insurance Company (GWL&A Contract) are valued at the amount of net deposits, determined on a daily basis. The GWL&A Contract is backed by the general account of Great-West Life & Annuity Insurance Company (GWL&A).
The Funds classify valuations into three levels based upon the observability of inputs to the valuation of each Fund’s investments. The valuation levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with the underlying investment. Classification is based on the lowest level of input significant to the fair value measurement. The three levels are defined as follows:
Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices for identical securities in active markets.
Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable either directly or indirectly. These may include quoted prices for similar assets in active markets.
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs to the extent observable inputs are not available. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions and would be based on the best information available under the circumstances.
As of September 30, 2016, each Fund’s investments in the underlying mutual funds are valued using Level 1 inputs. Each Fund’s investment in the GWL&A Contract is valued using Level 3 inputs. More information regarding each Fund’s sector classifications are included in the Schedule of Investments. The Funds recognize transfers between levels as of the beginning of the reporting period.  There were no transfers between Levels 1, 2 and 3 during the period.
The following is a reconciliation of change in Level 3 assets during the period ended September 30, 2016:

Level 3 securities include investments in the GWL&A Contract, the fair value of which has been determined with the use of an internal model. The internal model incorporates, among other observable inputs, the financial strength and credit risk of GWL&A and its ability to meet ongoing obligations to its policyholders (i.e., a credit risk input). The Funds consider the credit risk input to be a significant unobservable input. As of September 30, 2016, the credit risk input was negligible. If there were a significant decrease in GWL&A’s credit risk, it may result in a lower fair value measurement.

Fund-of-Funds Structure Risk
Since each Fund invests directly in underlying funds, all risks associated with the eligible underlying funds apply to each Fund. To the extent each Fund invests more of its assets in one underlying fund than another, each Fund will have greater exposure to the risks of that underlying fund.
Federal Income Taxes
The aggregate cost of investments and the composition of unrealized appreciation and depreciation for federal income tax purposes as of September 30, 2016 were as follows:

Transactions with Affiliates
Each Fund may invest in the GWL&A Contract pursuant to exemptive relief issued by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The GWL&A Contract has a stable principal value and accrues a fixed rate of interest, which is reflected in the daily valuation of the Funds. GWL&A calculates the interest rate in the same way it calculates guaranteed interest rates for similar contracts (on a calendar quarter or other periodic basis). As a result of GWL&A being an affiliated entity, the Funds are exposed to the risk of unanticipated industry conditions as well as risks specific to a single corporation. If GWL&A were to become insolvent, the GWL&A Contract would be settled commensurate with other policy holder obligations.
The amounts deposited will accrue interest at a declared rate of interest, adjustable on a calendar quarter or other periodic basis, guaranteed to be no less than 1.5%. The investment in the GWL&A Contract may be terminated by GWL&A or the Funds upon 7 days prior written notice. The guaranteed interest rate paid will be at least as favorable as the guaranteed interest rate paid on other similar products issued by GWL&A.
The following tables are a summary of the transactions for each underlying investment during the period ended September 30, 2016, in which the issuer was an affiliate of a Fund, as defined in the 1940 Act.

Security Valuation
The Board of Directors of the Funds has adopted policies and procedures for the valuation of each Fund's securities and assets, and has appointed the Fair Value Pricing Committee of the investment adviser, Great-West Capital Management, LLC, to complete valuation determinations under those policies and procedures.
Investments in shares of the underlying mutual funds are valued at the net asset value as reported by the underlying mutual fund, which may be obtained from pricing services or other pricing sources. The inputs used by the pricing services are reviewed quarterly or when the pricing vendor issues updates to its pricing methodologies. The net asset value of each class of the Fund's shares is determined by dividing the net assets attributable to each class of shares of the Fund by the number of issued and outstanding shares of each class of the Fund on each valuation date.
Investments in fixed interest contracts issued by Great-West Life & Annuity Insurance Company (GWL&A Contract) are valued at the amount of net deposits, determined on a daily basis. The GWL&A Contract is backed by the general account of Great-West Life & Annuity Insurance Company (GWL&A).
The Funds classify valuations into three levels based upon the observability of inputs to the valuation of each Fund’s investments. The valuation levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with the underlying investment. Classification is based on the lowest level of input significant to the fair value measurement. The three levels are defined as follows:
Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices for identical securities in active markets.
Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable either directly or indirectly. These may include quoted prices for similar assets in active markets.
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs to the extent observable inputs are not available. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions and would be based on the best information available under the circumstances.
As of September 30, 2016, each Fund’s investments in the underlying mutual funds are valued using Level 1 inputs. Each Fund’s investment in the GWL&A Contract is valued using Level 3 inputs. More information regarding each Fund’s sector classifications are included in the Schedule of Investments. The Funds recognize transfers between levels as of the beginning of the reporting period.  There were no transfers between Levels 1, 2 and 3 during the period.
The following is a reconciliation of change in Level 3 assets during the period ended September 30, 2016:

Level 3 securities include investments in the GWL&A Contract, the fair value of which has been determined with the use of an internal model. The internal model incorporates, among other observable inputs, the financial strength and credit risk of GWL&A and its ability to meet ongoing obligations to its policyholders (i.e., a credit risk input). The Funds consider the credit risk input to be a significant unobservable input. As of September 30, 2016, the credit risk input was negligible. If there were a significant decrease in GWL&A’s credit risk, it may result in a lower fair value measurement.

Fund-of-Funds Structure Risk
Since the Fund invests directly in underlying funds, all risks associated with the eligible underlying funds apply to the Fund. To the extent the Fund invests more of its assets in one underlying fund than another, the Fund will have greater exposure to the risks of that underlying fund.
Federal Income Taxes
The aggregate cost of investments and the composition of unrealized appreciation and depreciation for federal income tax purposes as of September 30, 2016 were as follows:

Transactions with Affiliates
Each Fund may invest in the GWL&A Contract pursuant to exemptive relief issued by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The GWL&A Contract has a stable principal value and accrues a fixed rate of interest, which is reflected in the daily valuation of the Funds. GWL&A calculates the interest rate in the same way it calculates guaranteed interest rates for similar contracts (on a calendar quarter or other periodic basis). As a result of GWL&A being an affiliated entity, the Funds are exposed to the risk of unanticipated industry conditions as well as risks specific to a single corporation. If GWL&A were to become insolvent, the GWL&A Contract would be settled commensurate with other policy holder obligations.
The amounts deposited will accrue interest at a declared rate of interest, adjustable on a calendar quarter or other periodic basis, guaranteed to be no less than 1.5%. The investment in the GWL&A Contract may be terminated by GWL&A or the Funds upon 7 days prior written notice. The guaranteed interest rate paid will be at least as favorable as the guaranteed interest rate paid on other similar products issued by GWL&A.
The following tables are a summary of the transactions for each underlying investment during the period ended September 30, 2016, in which the issuer was an affiliate of a Fund, as defined in the 1940 Act.

Security Valuation
The Board of Directors of the Funds has adopted policies and procedures for the valuation of each Fund's securities and assets,and has appointed the Fair Value Pricing Committee of the investment adviser, Great-West Capital Management, LLC, to complete valuation determinations under those policies and procedures.
Investments in shares of the underlying mutual funds are valued at the net asset value as reported by the underlying mutual fund, which may be obtained from pricing services or other pricing sources. The inputs used by the pricing services are reviewed quarterly or when the pricing vendor issues updates to its pricing methodologies. The net asset value of each class of the Fund's shares is determined by dividing the net assets attributable to each class of shares of the Fund by the number of issued and outstanding shares of each class of the Fund on each valuation date.
Investments in fixed interest contracts issued by Great-West Life & Annuity Insurance Company (GWL&A Contract) are valued at the amount of net deposits, determined on a daily basis. The GWL&A Contract is backed by the general account of Great-West Life & Annuity Insurance Company (GWL&A).
The Funds classify valuations into three levels based upon the observability of inputs to the valuation of each Fund’s investments. The valuation levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with the underlying investment. Classification is based on the lowest level of input significant to the fair value measurement. The three levels are defined as follows:
Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices for identical securities in active markets.
Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable either directly or indirectly. These may include quoted prices for similar assets in active markets.
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs to the extent observable inputs are not available. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions and would be based on the best information available under the circumstances.
As of September 30, 2016, each Fund’s investments in the underlying mutual funds are valued using Level 1 inputs. Each Fund’s investment in the GWL&A Contract is valued using Level 3 inputs. More information regarding each Fund’s sector classifications are included in the Schedule of Investments. The Funds recognize transfers between levels as of the beginning of the reporting period.  There were no transfers between Levels 1, 2 and 3 during the period.
The following is a reconciliation of change in Level 3 assets during the period ended September 30, 2016:

* Includes assets received as part of the Fund's reorganization.
Level 3 securities include investments in the GWL&A Contract, the fair value of which has been determined with the use of an internal model. The internal model incorporates, among other observable inputs, the financial strength and credit risk of GWL&A and its ability to meet ongoing obligations to its policyholders (i.e., a credit risk input). The Funds consider the credit risk input to be a significant unobservable input. As of September 30, 2016, the credit risk input was negligible. If there were a significant decrease in GWL&A’s credit risk, it may result in a lower fair value measurement.
Fund-of-Funds Structure Risk
Since each Fund invests directly in underlying funds, all risks associated with the eligible underlying funds apply to each Fund. To the extent each Fund invests more of its assets in one underlying fund than another, each Fund will have greater exposure to the risks of that underlying fund.
Federal Income Taxes
The aggregate cost of investments and the composition of unrealized appreciation and depreciation for federal income tax purposes as of September 30, 2016 were as follows:

Transactions with Affiliates
Each Fund may invest in the GWL&A Contract pursuant to exemptive relief issued by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The GWL&A Contract has a stable principal value and accrues a fixed rate of interest, which is reflected in the daily valuation of the Funds. GWL&A calculates the interest rate in the same way it calculates guaranteed interest rates for similar contracts (on a calendar quarter or other periodic basis). As a result of GWL&A being an affiliated entity, the Funds are exposed to the risk of unanticipated industry conditions as well as risks specific to a single corporation. If GWL&A were to become insolvent, the GWL&A Contract would be settled commensurate with other policy holder obligations.
The amounts deposited will accrue interest at a declared rate of interest, adjustable on a calendar quarter or other periodic basis, guaranteed to be no less than 1.5%. The investment in the GWL&A Contract may be terminated by GWL&A or the Funds upon 7 days prior written notice. The guaranteed interest rate paid will be at least as favorable as the guaranteed interest rate paid on other similar products issued by GWL&A.
The following tables are a summary of the transactions for each underlying investment during the period ended September 30, 2016, in which the issuer was an affiliate of a Fund, as defined in the 1940 Act.

Security Valuation
The Board of Directors of the Funds has adopted policies and procedures for the valuation of each Fund's securities and assets, and has appointed the Fair Value Pricing Committee of the investment adviser, Great-West Capital Management, LLC, to complete valuation determinations under those policies and procedures.
Investments in shares of the underlying mutual funds are valued at the net asset value as reported by the underlying mutual fund, which may be obtained from pricing services or other pricing sources. The inputs used by the pricing services are reviewed quarterly or when the pricing vendor issues updates to its pricing methodologies. The net asset value of each class of the Fund's shares is determined by dividing the net assets attributable to each class of shares of the Fund by the number of issued and outstanding shares of each class of the Fund on each valuation date.
Investments in fixed interest contracts issued by Great-West Life & Annuity Insurance Company (GWL&A Contract) are valued at the amount of net deposits, determined on a daily basis. The GWL&A Contract is backed by the general account of Great-West Life & Annuity Insurance Company (GWL&A).
The Funds classify valuations into three levels based upon the observability of inputs to the valuation of each Fund’s investments. The valuation levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with the underlying investment. Classification is based on the lowest level of input significant to the fair value measurement. The three levels are defined as follows:
Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices for identical securities in active markets.
Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable either directly or indirectly. These may include quoted prices for similar assets in active markets.
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs to the extent observable inputs are not available. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions and would be based on the best information available under the circumstances.
As of September 30, 2016, each Fund’s investments in the underlying mutual funds are valued using Level 1 inputs. Each Fund’s investment in the GWL&A Contract is valued using Level 3 inputs. More information regarding each Fund’s sector classifications are included in the Schedule of Investments. The Funds recognize transfers between levels as of the beginning of the reporting period.  There were no transfers between Levels 1, 2 and 3 during the period.
The following is a reconciliation of change in Level 3 assets during the period ended September 30, 2016:

Level 3 securities include investments in the GWL&A Contract, the fair value of which has been determined with the use of an internal model. The internal model incorporates, among other observable inputs, the financial strength and credit risk of GWL&A and its ability to meet ongoing obligations to its policyholders (i.e., a credit risk input). The Funds consider the credit risk input to be a significant unobservable input. As of September 30, 2016, the credit risk input was negligible. If there were a significant decrease in GWL&A’s credit risk, it may result in a lower fair value measurement.
Fund-of-Funds Structure Risk
Since each Fund invests directly in underlying funds, all risks associated with the eligible underlying funds apply to each Fund. To the extent each Fund invests more of its assets in one underlying fund than another, each Fund will have greater exposure to the risks of that underlying fund.
Federal Income Taxes
The aggregate cost of investments and the composition of unrealized appreciation and depreciation for federal income tax purposes as of September 30, 2016 were as follows:

Transactions with Affiliates
Each Fund may invest in the GWL&A Contract pursuant to exemptive relief issued by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The GWL&A Contract has a stable principal value and accrues a fixed rate of interest, which is reflected in the daily valuation of the Funds. GWL&A calculates the interest rate in the same way it calculates guaranteed interest rates for similar contracts (on a calendar quarter or other periodic basis). As a result of GWL&A being an affiliated entity, the Funds are exposed to the risk of unanticipated industry conditions as well as risks specific to a single corporation. If GWL&A were to become insolvent, the GWL&A Contract would be settled commensurate with other policy holder obligations.
The amounts deposited will accrue interest at a declared rate of interest, adjustable on a calendar quarter or other periodic basis, guaranteed to be no less than 1.5%. The investment in the GWL&A Contract may be terminated by GWL&A or the Funds upon 7 days prior written notice. The guaranteed interest rate paid will be at least as favorable as the guaranteed interest rate paid on other similar products issued by GWL&A.
The following tables are a summary of the transactions for each underlying investment during the period ended September 30, 2016, in which the issuer was an affiliate of a Fund, as defined in the 1940 Act.

Security Valuation
The Board of Directors of the Fund has adopted policies and procedures for the valuation of the Fund's securities and assets, and has appointed the Fair Value Pricing Committee of the investment adviser, Great-West Capital Management, LLC, to complete valuation determinations under those policies and procedures.
Investments in shares of the underlying mutual funds are valued at the net asset value as reported by the underlying mutual fund, which may be obtained from pricing services or other pricing sources. The inputs used by the pricing services are reviewed quarterly or when the pricing vendor issues updates to its pricing methodologies. The net asset value of each class of the Fund's shares is determined by dividing the net assets attributable to each class of shares of the Fund by the number of issued and outstanding shares of each class of the Fund on each valuation date.
Investments in fixed interest contracts issued by Great-West Life & Annuity Insurance Company (GWL&A Contract) are valued at the amount of net deposits, determined on a daily basis. The GWL&A Contract is backed by the general account of Great-West Life & Annuity Insurance Company (GWL&A).
The Fund classifies valuations into three levels based upon the observability of inputs to the valuation of the Fund’s investments. The valuation levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with the underlying investment. Classification is based on the lowest level of input significant to the fair value measurement. The three levels are defined as follows:
Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices for identical securities in active markets.
Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable either directly or indirectly. These may include quoted prices for similar assets in active markets.
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs to the extent observable inputs are not available. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions and would be based on the best information available under the circumstances.
As of September 30, 2016, the Fund’s investments in the underlying mutual funds are valued using Level 1 inputs. The Fund’s investment in the GWL&A Contract is valued using Level 3 inputs. More information regarding the Fund’s sector classifications are included in the Schedule of Investments. The Fund recognizes transfers between levels as of the beginning of the reporting period.  There were no transfers between Levels 1, 2 and 3 during the period.
The following is a reconciliation of change in Level 3 assets during the period ended September 30, 2016:
Beginning Balance, January 1, 2016 $ 13,001,206
Total interest received 186,932
Purchases 9,933,501
Sales (1,256,553)
Ending Balance, September 30, 2016 $21,865,086
Level 3 securities include investments in the GWL&A Contract, the fair value of which has been determined with the use of an internal model. The internal model incorporates, among other observable inputs, the financial strength and credit risk of GWL&A and its ability to meet ongoing obligations to its policyholders (i.e., a credit risk input). The Fund considers the credit risk input to be a significant unobservable input. As of September 30, 2016, the credit risk input was negligible. If there were a significant decrease in GWL&A’s credit risk, it may result in a lower fair value measurement.
Fund-of-Funds Structure Risk
Since the Fund invests directly in underlying funds, all risks associated with the eligible underlying funds apply to the Fund. To the extent the Fund invests more of its assets in one underlying fund than another, the Fund will have greater exposure to the risks of that underlying fund.

September 30, 2016

 


Federal Income Taxes
The aggregate cost of investments and the composition of unrealized appreciation and depreciation for federal income tax purposes as of September 30, 2016 were as follows:
Federal tax cost of investments $429,821,424
Gross unrealized appreciation on investments 12,819,548
Gross unrealized depreciation on investments (4,533,454)
Net unrealized appreciation on investments $8,286,094
Transactions with Affiliates
The Fund may invest in the GWL&A Contract pursuant to exemptive relief issued by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The GWL&A Contract has a stable principal value and accrues a fixed rate of interest, which is reflected in the daily valuation of the Fund. GWL&A calculates the interest rate in the same way it calculates guaranteed interest rates for similar contracts (on a calendar quarter or other periodic basis). As a result of GWL&A being an affiliated entity, the Fund is exposed to the risk of unanticipated industry conditions as well as risks specific to a single corporation. If GWL&A were to become insolvent, the GWL&A Contract would be settled commensurate with other policy holder obligations.
The amounts deposited will accrue interest at a declared rate of interest, adjustable on a calendar quarter or other periodic basis, guaranteed to be no less than 1.5%. The investment in the GWL&A Contract may be terminated by GWL&A or the Fund upon 7 days prior written notice. The guaranteed interest rate paid will be at least as favorable as the guaranteed interest rate paid on other similar products issued by GWL&A.
The following table is a summary of the transactions for each underlying investment during the period ended September 30, 2016, in which the issuer was an affiliate of a Fund, as defined in the 1940 Act.

Security Valuation
The Board of Directors of the Fund has adopted policies and procedures for the valuation of the Fund's securities and assets, and has appointed the Fair Value Pricing Committee of the investment adviser, Great-West Capital Management, LLC, to complete valuation determinations under those policies and procedures.
The Fund generally values its Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) based on market prices determined at the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) on each day the NYSE is open for trading. Investments in shares of the underlying mutual funds are valued at the net asset value as reported by the underlying mutual fund, which may be obtained from pricing services or other pricing sources. The net asset value of each class of the Fund's shares is determined by dividing the net assets attributable to each class of shares of the Fund by the number of issued and outstanding shares of each class of the Fund on each valuation date.
Short term securities purchased with less than 60 days remaining until maturity and all U.S. Treasury Bills are valued on the basis of amortized cost, which has been determined to approximate fair value. Short term securities purchased with more than 60 days remaining until maturity are valued using pricing services, or in the event a price is not available from a pricing service, may be priced using other methodologies approved by the Board of Directors, including model pricing or pricing on the basis of quotations from brokers or dealers, and will continue to be priced until final maturity.
Independent pricing services are approved by the Board of Directors and are utilized for all investment types when available. In some instances valuations from independent pricing services are not available or do not reflect events in the market between the time the market closed and the valuation time and therefore fair valuation procedures are implemented. The fair value for some securities may be obtained from pricing services or other pricing sources. The inputs used by the pricing services are reviewed quarterly or when the pricing vendor issues updates to its pricing methodologies. Developments that might trigger fair value pricing could be natural disasters, government actions or fluctuations in domestic and foreign markets.
The following table provides examples of the inputs that are commonly used for valuing particular classes of securities. These classifications are not exclusive, and any inputs may be used to value any other security class.
Class Inputs

Short Term Investments Maturity date, credit quality and interest rates
The Fund classifies its valuations into three levels based upon the observability of inputs to the valuation of the Fund’s investments. The valuation levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with the underlying investment. Classification is based on the lowest level of input significant to the fair value measurement. The three levels are defined as follows:
Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices for identical securities in active markets.
Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable either directly or indirectly. These may include quoted prices for similar assets in active markets.
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs to the extent observable inputs are not available. Unobservable inputs reflect the reporting Fund’s own assumptions and would be based on the best information available under the circumstances.

September 30, 2016

 


As of September 30, 2016, the Fund’s investments in the underlying ETFs and mutual funds are valued using Level 1 inputs. The Fund’s investments in short term securities are valued using Level 2 inputs. More information regarding the Fund’s sector classifications are included in the Schedule of Investments. The Fund recognizes transfers between levels as of the beginning of the reporting period. There were no transfers between Levels 1, 2 and 3 during the period.
Fund-of-Funds Structure Risk
Since the Fund invests directly in underlying funds, all risks associated with the eligible underlying funds apply to the Fund. To the extent the Fund invests more of its assets in one underlying fund than another, the Fund will have greater exposure to the risks of that underlying fund.
Repurchase Agreements
The Fund may engage in repurchase agreement transactions with institutions that the Fund’s investment adviser has determined are creditworthy. The Fund will purchase securities at a specified price with an agreement to sell the securities to the same counterparty at a specified time, price and interest rate. The Fund’s custodian and/or securities lending agent receives delivery of the underlying securities collateralizing a repurchase agreement. Collateral is at least equal to the value of the repurchase obligation including interest. A repurchase agreement transaction involves certain risks in the event of default or insolvency of the counterparty. These risks include possible delays or restrictions upon a Fund’s ability to dispose of the underlying securities and a possible decline in the value of the underlying securities during the period while the Fund seeks to assert its rights.
Federal Income Taxes
The aggregate cost of investments and the composition of unrealized appreciation and depreciation for federal income tax purposes as of September 30, 2016 were as follows:
Federal tax cost of investments $52,108,034
Gross unrealized appreciation on investments 4,410,232
Gross unrealized depreciation on investments (391,662)
Net unrealized appreciation on investments $4,018,570
