Restricted and Illiquid Securities

A restricted security cannot be resold to the general public without prior registration under the Securities Act of 1933. If the security is subsequently registered and resold, the issuer would typically bear the expense of all registrations at no cost to the Fund. Restricted and illiquid securities are valued according to the guidelines and procedures adopted by the Trust’s Board of Trustees.

Affiliated Issuers

If a Fund owns 5% or more of the outstanding voting shares of an issuer, the Fund’s investment represents an investment in an affiliated person as defined by the Investment Company Act of 1940. A summary of the Funds with transactions in the securities of affiliated issuers for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009, is listed below:

Fair Value Measurements

In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“FAS 157”), fair value is defined as the price that the Funds would receive upon selling an investment in a timely transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market of the investment. FAS 157 established a hierarchy to maximize the use of observable market data and minimize the use of unobservable inputs and to establish classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The hierarchy of inputs is summarized in the three broad levels listed below.

 

   

Level 1 — unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical investments

 

   

Level 2 — inputs other than unadjusted quoted prices that are observable either directly or indirectly (including adjusted quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.)

 

   

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

Inputs may include price information, volatility statistics, specific and broad credit data, liquidity statistics, and other factors. A security’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. However, the determination of what constitutes “observable” requires significant judgment by the Trust. The Trust considers observable data to be that market data which is readily available, regularly distributed or updated, reliable and verifiable, and provided by independent sources that are actively involved in the relevant market. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in, to or out of an investment’s assigned level within the hierarchy.

In determining a security’s placement within the hierarchy, the Trust separates the Funds’ investment portfolios into two categories: investments and financial instruments (e.g. futures).

Investments. Investments whose values are based on quoted market prices in active markets, and are therefore classified within level 1, include active listed equities, and certain fixed income securities. The Trust does not adjust the quoted price for such instruments, even in situations where the Funds hold a large position and a sale could reasonably impact the quoted price.

Investments that trade in markets that are not considered to be active, but are valued based on quoted market prices, dealer quotations or alternative pricing sources supported by observable inputs are classified within level 2. These include certain U.S. government and sovereign obligations, most government agency securities, investment-grade corporate bonds, certain mortgage products, state, municipal and provincial obligations, and certain foreign equity securities.

Investments classified within level 3 have significant unobservable inputs, as they trade infrequently or not at all. Level 3 investments include, among other things, private placement securities. When observable prices are not available for these securities, the Trust uses one or more valuation techniques (e.g., the market approach or the income approach) for which sufficient and reliable data is available. Within level 3, the use of the


Table of Contents

market approach generally consists of using comparable market transactions, while the use of the income approach generally consists of the net present value of estimated future cash flows, adjusted as appropriate for liquidity, credit, market and/or other risk factors.

The inputs used by the Trust in estimating the value of level 3 investments include the original transaction price, recent transactions in the same or similar instruments, completed or pending third-party transactions in the underlying investment or comparable issuers, subsequent rounds of financing, recapitalizations, and other transactions across the capital structure. Level 3 investments may also be adjusted to reflect illiquidity and/or non-transferability, with the amount of such discount estimated by the Trust in the absence of market information. Assumptions used by the Trust due to the lack of observable inputs may significantly impact the resulting fair value and therefore the Funds’ results of operations.

Financial Instruments. Exchange-traded derivatives, such as futures contracts and exchange traded option contracts, are typically classified within level 1 or level 2 of the fair value hierarchy depending on whether or not they are deemed to be actively traded. Certain derivatives, such as generic forwards, swaps and options, have inputs which can generally be corroborated by market data and are therefore classified within level 2.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

The Funds adopted FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (“FAS 161”), effective January 1, 2009. FAS 161 requires enhanced disclosures about the Funds’ derivative and hedging activities.

The following is a summary of the fair valuation of the Funds’ derivative instruments categorized by risk exposure at September 30, 2009. Please see the Funds’ prospectus for information on the Funds’ policy regarding the objectives and strategies for using financial futures contracts.
