NOTES TO PORTFOLIO OF INVESTMENTS
|
|
NOVEMBER 30, 2022 (UNAUDITED)
|
FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS — The inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value of the Fund’s investments are summarized into three levels as described in the
hierarchy below:
|
|||||
• Level 1 — Prices are determined using quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
|
|||||
• Level 2 — Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
|
|||||
• Level 3 — Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).
|
|||||
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
|
|||||
|
|||||
The following is a summary of the inputs used, as of November 30, 2022, in valuing the Fund's investments carried at fair value:
