Summary of Fair Value Exposure at July 31, 2017 (Unaudited)
The Fund utilizes various methods to measure the fair value of its investments on a recurring basis.  U.S. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation methods.  The three levels of inputs are:
• Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Fund has the ability to access.
• Level 2 - Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.  These inputs may include quoted prices for the identical instrument on an inactive market, prices for similar instruments, interest rates, prepayment spreads, credit risk, yield curves, default rates and similar data.
• Level 3 - Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, to the extent relevant observable inputs are not available, representing the Fund’s own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability, and would be based on the best information available.
           
The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s investments and securities sold short as of July 31, 2017. See the Schedule of Investments and Schedule of Securities Sold Short for the industry breakout.

The basis for recognizing and valuing transfers is as of the end of the period in which transfers occur. There were no transfers into or out of Levels 1, 2 or 3 during the period ended July 31, 2017.
 
   




The Fund has adopted financial reporting rules and regulations that require enhanced disclosure regarding derivatives and hedging activity intending to improve financial reporting of derivative instruments by enabling investors to understand how an entity uses derivatives, how derivatives are accounted for, and how derivative instruments affect an entity’s results of operations and financial position.
                         
The Fund may invest in options on equities, debt and stock indices (collectively, “options”). The Fund may also invest in futures contracts and options on futures contracts (collectively, “futures”). The Fund may make these investments as a substitute for a comparable market position in the underlying security, to attempt to hedge or limit the exposure of the Fund’s position, to create a synthetic money market position for certain tax-related purposes and to effect closing transactions. The Fund will not invest in futures for speculative purposes.
 
                         
The monthly average absolute value of options held by the Fund during the period was $8,309,955. The following table presents the fair value of derivative instruments, held long or written by the Fund at July 31, 2017:
