Security valuations for the fund’s investments are generally furnished by an independent pricing service that has been approved by the fund’s board of directors. Investments in equity securities that are traded on a national securities exchange (or reported on the Nasdaq national market system) are stated at the last quoted sales price if readily available for such securities on each business day. For securities traded on the Nasdaq national market system, the fund utilizes the Nasdaq Official Closing Price which compares the last trade to the bid/ask price of a security. If the last trade falls within the bid/ask range, then that price will be the closing price. If the last trade is outside the bid/ask range, and falls above the ask, the ask price will be the closing price. If the last trade is below the bid, the bid will be the closing price. Other equity securities traded in the over-the-counter market and listed equity securities for which no sale was reported on that date are stated at the last quoted bid price.

Debt obligations exceeding 60 days to maturity are valued by an independent pricing service. Securities for which prices are not available from an independent pricing service, but where an active market exists, are valued using market quotations obtained from one or more dealers that make markets in the securities or from a widely-used quotation system. Debt obligations with 60 days or less remaining until maturity may be valued at their amortized cost, which approximates market value.

The following investment vehicles, when held by the fund, are priced as follows: exchange listed futures and options on futures are priced at their last sale price on the exchange on which they are principally traded, as determined by the fund’s investment advisor, U.S. Bancorp Asset Management, Inc. (“USBAM”), on the day the valuation is made. If there were no sales on that day, futures and options on futures will be valued at the last reported bid price. Options on securities, indices, and currencies traded on Nasdaq or listed on a stock exchange, whether domestic or foreign, are valued at the last sale price on Nasdaq or on any exchange on the day the valuation is made. If there were no sales on that day, the options will be valued at the last sale price on the previous valuation date. Last sale prices are obtained from an independent pricing service. Swaps and over-the-counter options on securities, indices, and currencies are valued at the quotations received from an independent pricing service, if available.

When market quotations are not readily available, securities are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by procedures established and approved by the fund’s board of directors.

As of May 31, 2013, the fund held no internally fair valued securities.

 

n Securities purchased within terms of a private placement memorandum, exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, which may be sold only to dealers in that program or other “qualified institutional buyers”. On May 31, 2013, the total fair value of these investments was $26,506,148 or 32.4% of total net assets.

Summary of Fair Value Exposure

Generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) require disclosures regarding the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value and any changes in valuation inputs or techniques. The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (i.e. the exit price). GAAP establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy for observable and unobservable inputs used in measuring fair value. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability and are based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Unobservable inputs are based on the best information available in the circumstances. Fair value inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

 

Level 1

      Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.

Level 2

      Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, with similar interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).

Level 3

      Significant unobservable inputs (including the fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments). Generally, the types of securities included in Level 3 of the fund are securities for which there is limited or no observable fair value inputs available, and as such the fair value is determined through independent broker quotations or management’s fair value procedures established by the fund’s board of directors.

The fair value levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in these investments.

Valuation Methodologies for Fair Value Measurements Categorized within Levels 2 and 3

Debt obligations

High Yield Corporate Bonds, U.S. Government Agency Mortgage-Backed Securities, Collateralized Mortgage Obligation — Private Mortgage-Backed Securities, Collateralized Mortgage Obligation — U.S. Agency Mortgage- Backed Securities, Commercial Mortgage-Backed Securities, Asset-Backed Securities, and Investment Grade Corporate Bonds are valued by an independent pricing service. The pricing service may employ methodologies that utilize actual market transactions, broker-dealer supplied valuations, or other formula-driven valuation techniques. These techniques generally consider such factors as yields or prices of bonds of comparable quality, type of issue, coupon, maturity, ratings, and general market conditions. When the price provided by a pricing service is based on a sole broker quote, the value is categorized as Level 3 by the fund.

Preferred Stocks

When the price provided by a pricing service for a preferred stock is based on a sole broker quote, the value is categorized as Level 3 by the fund.

Valuation Process for Fair Value Measurements Categorized within Level 3

The fund’s board of directors (the “board”) has adopted policies and procedures for the valuation of the fund’s investments (the “valuation procedures”). The valuation procedures established a valuation committee consisting of representatives from USBAM investment management, legal, treasury and compliance departments (the “valuation committee”). The board has authorized the valuation committee to make fair value determinations in accordance with the valuation procedures. The audit committee of the board meets on a regular basis to, among other things, review fair value determinations made by the valuation committee, monitor the appropriateness of any previously determined fair value methodology, and approve in advance any proposed changes to such methodology, and presents such changes for ratification by the board.
