VALUATION OF INVESTMENTS

Each Portfolio’s assets are valued primarily at market value on the basis of the last quoted sales price on the exchange or system on which they are principally traded. Equity securities traded on the Nasdaq National Market System are normally valued at the Nasdaq Official Closing Price provided by Nasdaq, usually as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time each business day. Equity securities that are not traded on a listed exchange or system are valued at the last sales price in the over-the-counter market. If there is no trading in an investment on a business day, the investment will be valued at the mean between its closing bid and asked prices on the exchange or system on which the security is principally traded. Short- and long-term debt securities, including U.S. government and agency securities, listed corporate bonds, other fixed income securities and unlisted securities, are generally valued at the latest price furnished by an independent pricing service. Gold and silver bullion are valued at the closing spot settlement price on the New York Commodity Exchange. Gold and silver coins are valued at the price furnished by an independent pricing service. Deposits of Swiss francs and Swiss government bonds will be valued each business day at prices (converted into U.S. dollars) quoted by an independent pricing service. Foreign securities traded on an exchange are valued on the basis of market quotations most recently available from that exchange. All investments denominated in foreign currencies are converted into U.S. dollars using exchange rates obtained from an independent pricing service. Investments for which bona fide market quotations are not readily available, or investments for which the Fund’s investment adviser determines that a quotation or a price for a portfolio security provided by a dealer or an independent pricing service is not believed to be reflective of market value, are valued by the Valuation Committee of the Fund’s investment adviser pursuant to fair value procedures approved by the Fund’s Board of Trustees.

The Fund has adopted authoritative fair value accounting standards which establish an authoritative definition of fair value and set out a hierarchy for measuring fair value. These standards require additional disclosures about the various inputs and valuation techniques used to develop the measurements of fair value, a discussion of changes in valuation techniques and related inputs during a reporting period and expanded disclosure of valuation levels for major security types. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below.

Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets

The Fund’s Level 1 valuation techniques use unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for assets or liabilities with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information as the most reliable evidence of fair value.

Level 2 — Significant other observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, credit risk, etc.)

The Fund’s Level 2 valuation techniques include inputs other than quoted prices within Level 1 that are observable for an asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Observable inputs may include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, in which there are few transactions, where prices may not be current, or where price quotations vary substantially over time or among market participants. Inputs that are observable for an asset or liability in Level 2 include such factors as interest rates, yield curves, foreign exchange rates, put or call provisions, credit risk and default rates for similar assets or liabilities.

Level 3 — Significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

The Fund’s Level 3 valuation techniques include the use of unobservable inputs that reflect assumptions market participants may use or could be expected to use in pricing an asset or liability. Unobservable inputs are used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available, and are developed based on the best information available under the circumstances. In developing unobservable inputs, market participant assumptions are used if they are reasonably available without undue cost and effort.

The Fund may record changes to valuations based on the amount that it might reasonably be expected to receive for an investment upon its current sale, consistent with the fair value measurement objective. Each determination is based on a consideration of all relevant factors, which are likely to vary from one pricing context to another. Examples of such factors may include, but are not limited to: (i) type of the investment; (ii) existence of any contractual restrictions on the investment’s disposition; (iii) price and extent of public trading in similar investments or of comparable investments; (iv) quotations or evaluated prices from broker-dealers and/or pricing services; (v) information obtained from the issuer, analysts, and/or the appropriate stock exchange (for exchange-traded securities); (vi) analysis of an issuer’s financial statements; (vii) evaluation of the forces that influence the issuer and the market(s) in which the investment is purchased and sold; and (viii) with respect to debt securities, maturity, coupon, creditworthiness, spread, currency denomination, and the movement of the market in which the security is normally traded. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value determined upon sale of those investments.
