NOTES TO SCHEDULE OF INVESTMENTS (Unaudited)

September 30, 2010

 

Securities Valuation:

Investments in Securities

Investments in securities traded on national or international securities exchanges are valued at the last reported sales price prior to the time when assets are valued. Securities traded on the over-the-counter market are valued at the last reported sales price or if the last sales price is not available at the last reported bid price. The sale and bid prices or prices deemed best to reflect fair value quoted by dealers who make markets in these securities are obtained from independent pricing services. Debt securities maturing in more than 60 days are priced by an independent pricing service. The pricing service may use models that price securities based on current yields and relative security characteristics, such as coupon rate, maturity date, issuer credit quality, and prepayment speeds as applicable. When market quotations are not readily available, or when the Advisor becomes aware that a significant event impacting the value of a security or group of securities has occurred after the closing of the exchange on which the security or securities principally trade, but before the calculation of the daily net asset value, securities are valued at fair value as determined in good faith using procedures established by the Board of Directors. The procedures consider, among others, the following factors to determine a security’s fair value: the nature and pricing history (if any) of the security; whether any dealer quotations for the security are available; and possible valuation methodologies that could be used to determine the fair value of the security. Debt securities of sufficient credit quality maturing in less than 60 days when acquired, or which subsequently are within 60 days of maturity, are valued at amortized cost.

Fair Value Measurements

The inputs and valuations techniques used to measure fair value of the Funds’ net assets are summarized into three levels as described in the hierarchy below

 

• Level 1 –

 

quoted prices for active markets for identical securities. An active market for the security is a market in which transactions occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. A quoted price in an active market provides the most reliable evidence of fair value.

• Level 2 –

 

other significant observable inputs including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc. or quoted prices for identical or similar assets in markets that are not active. Inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data. An adjustment to any observable input that is significant to the fair value may render the measurement a Level 3 measurement.

• Level 3 –

 

significant unobservable inputs, including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments.

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

A summary of the levels for the Fund’s investments as of September 30, 2010 is included with the Funds’ schedule of investments.

At September 30, 2010, the gross unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments and cost of securities on a tax basis for federal income tax purposes are identical to book and are as follows:
