The Fund's assets and liabilities are classified into the following three levels based on the inputs used to value the assets and liabilities:

 

Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical securities 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 speeds, 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 assumption about the assumptions a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability, and would be based on the best information available.

 

The inputs methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. For example, U.S. Government securities are reflected as Level 2 because the inputs used to determine fair value may not always be quoted prices in an active market.

 

The following is a summary, by category of Level, of inputs used to value the Fund's investments as of June 30, 2019:

 

   Level 1   Level 2   Level 3   Total 
Assets                    
Common Stocks*  $318,052,421   $-   $-   $318,052,421 
                     
Liabilities                    
Call Options Written  $-   $(6,048,963)  $-   $(6,048,963)

 

*The Portfolio of Investments provides information on the industry categorization for common stocks.

 

There were no transfers into or from Level 1 and Level 2 by the Fund for the period ended June 30, 2019. Transfers, if any, between Levels are recognized at the end of the reporting period.

The Fund's assets and liabilities are classified into the following three levels based on the inputs used to value the assets and liabilities:

 

Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical securities 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 speeds, 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 assumption about the assumptions a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability, and would be based on the best information available.

 

The inputs methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. For example, U.S. Government securities are reflected as Level 2 because the inputs used to determine fair value may not always be quoted prices in an active market.

 

The following is a summary, by category of Level, of inputs used to value the Fund's investments as of June 30, 2019:

 

   Level 1   Level 2   Level 3   Total

ADR American Depositary Receipts

 

At June 30, 2019, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes was $571,034,045. Accumulated net unrealized appreciation on investments was $77,173,546, consisting of $86,070,357 gross unrealized appreciation and $8,896,811 gross unrealized depreciation.

 

 

 

The Fund's assets and liabilities are classified into the following three levels based on the inputs used to value the assets and liabilities:

 

Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical securities 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 speeds, 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 assumption about the assumptions a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability, and would be based on the best information available.

 

The inputs methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. For example, U.S. Government securities are reflected as Level 2 because the inputs used to determine fair value may not always be quoted prices in an active market.

 

The following is a summary, by category of Level, of inputs used to value the Fund's investments as of June 30, 2019:

At June 30, 2019, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes was $1,218,471,986.  Accumulated net unrealized appreciation on investments was $471,161,063, consisting of $480,440,915 gross unrealized appreciation and $9,279,852 gross unrealized depreciation.

 

 

 

The Fund's assets and liabilities are classified into the following three levels based on the inputs used to value the assets and liabilities:

 

Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical securities 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 speeds, 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 assumption about the assumptions a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability, and would be based on the best information available.

 

The inputs methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. For example, U.S. Government securities are reflected as Level 2 because the inputs used to determine fair value may not always be quoted prices in an active market.

 

The following is a summary, by category of Level, of inputs used to value the Fund's investments as of June 30, 2019:

 

   Level 1   Level 2   Level 3   Total 
Common Stocks  $1,589,686,329   $-   $-   $1,589,686,329 
Short-Term U.S Government Obligations   -    99,946,720    -    99,946,720 
Total Investments in Securities*  $1,589,686,329   $99,946,720   $-   $1,689,633,049 

 

*The Portfolio of Investments provides information on the industry categorization for common stocks.

 

There were no transfers into or from Level 1 and Level 2 by the Fund for the period ended June 30, 2019. Transfers, if any, between Levels are recognized at the end of the reporting period.

The Fund's assets and liabilities are classified into the following three levels based on the inputs used to value the assets and liabilities:

 

Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical securities 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 speeds, 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 assumption about the assumptions a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability, and would be based on the best information available.

 

The inputs methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. For example, U.S. Government securities are reflected as Level 2 because the inputs used to determine fair value may not always be quoted prices in an active market.

 

The following is a summary, by category of Level, of inputs used to value the Fund's investments as of June 30, 2019:

*The Portfolio of Investments provides information on the industry categorization for common stocks and warrants.

 

**Other financial instruments are foreign exchange contracts and are considered derivative instruments, which are valued at the net unrealized depreciation on the instrument.

 

There were no transfers into or from Level 1 and Level 2 by the Fund for the period ended June 30, 2019. Transfers, if any, between Levels are recognized at the end of the reporting period.

Summary of Abbreviations:

ADR American Depositary Receipts

 

At June 30, 2019, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes was $319,971,854. Accumulated net unrealized appreciation on investments was $108,027,544, consisting of $109,623,985 gross unrealized appreciation and $1,596,441 gross unrealized depreciation.

 

 

 

The Fund's assets and liabilities are classified into the following three levels based on the inputs used to value the assets and liabilities:

 

Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical securities 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 speeds, 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 assumption about the assumptions a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability, and would be based on the best information available.

 

The inputs methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. For example, U.S. Government securities are reflected as Level 2 because the inputs used to determine fair value may not always be quoted prices in an active market.

 

The following is a summary, by category of Level, of inputs used to value the Fund's investments as of June 30, 2019:

The Fund's assets and liabilities are classified into the following three levels based on the inputs used to value the assets and liabilities:

 

Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical securities 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 speeds, 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 assumption about the assumptions a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability, and would be based on the best information available.

 

The inputs methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. For example, U.S. Government securities are reflected as Level 2 because the inputs used to determine fair value may not always be quoted prices in an active market.

 

The following is a summary, by category of Level, of inputs used to value the Fund's investments as of June 30, 2019:

 

   Level 1   Level 2   Level 3   Total 
Assets                    
Common Stocks*  $140,850,340   $-   $-   $140,850,340 
                     
Liabilities                    
Call Options Written  $-   $(26,932,964)  $-   $(26,932,964)

 

*The Portfolio of Investments provides information on the industry categorization for common stocks.

 

There were no transfers into or from Level 1 and Level 2 by the Fund for the period ended June 30, 2019. Transfers, if any, between Levels are recognized at the end of the reporting period.

At June 30, 2019, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes was $563,825,869. Accumulated net unrealized appreciation on investments was $119,117,327, consisting of $138,351,259 gross unrealized appreciation and $19,233,922 gross unrealized depreciation.

 

 

 

The Fund's assets and liabilities are classified into the following three levels based on the inputs used to value the assets and liabilities:

 

Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical securities 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 speeds, 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 assumption about the assumptions a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability, and would be based on the best information available.

 

The inputs methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. For example, U.S. Government securities are reflected as Level 2 because the inputs used to determine fair value may not always be quoted prices in an active market.

 

The following is a summary, by category of Level, of inputs used to value the Fund's investments as of June 30, 2019:

 

   Level 1   Level 2   Level 3   Total 
Common Stocks  $679,944,156   $-   $-   $679,944,156 
Short-Term U.S Government Obligations   -    2,999,040    -    2,999,040

At June 30, 2019, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes was $729,741,769. Accumulated net unrealized appreciation on investments was $142,594,267, consisting of $152,122,880 gross unrealized appreciation and $9,528,613 gross unrealized depreciation.

 

 

 

The Fund's assets and liabilities are classified into the following three levels based on the inputs used to value the assets and liabilities:

 

Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical securities 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 speeds, 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 assumption about the assumptions a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability, and would be based on the best information available.

 

The inputs methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. For example, U.S. Government securities are reflected as Level 2 because the inputs used to determine fair value may not always be quoted prices in an active market.

 

The following is a summary, by category of Level, of inputs used to value the Fund's investments as of June 30, 2019:

Security Valuation – Except as provided below, a security listed or traded on an exchange or the Nasdaq Stock Market is valued at its last sale price on the exchange or market where the security is principally traded, and lacking any sales, the security is valued at the mean between the closing bid and asked prices. Securities traded in the over-the-counter ("OTC") market (including securities listed on exchanges whose primary market is believed to be OTC) are valued at the mean between the last bid and asked prices based on quotes furnished by a market maker for such securities or an authorized pricing service. Fixed Income securities are priced based upon evaluated prices that are provided by a pricing service approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees (“the Board”). Other securities may also be priced based upon valuations that are provided by pricing services approved by the Board. The pricing services consider security type, rating, market condition and yield data as well as market quotations, prices provided by market makers and other available information in determining evaluated prices.

 

The Funds monitor for significant events occurring prior to the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange that could have a material impact on the value of any securities that are held by the Funds. Examples of such events include trading halts, natural disasters, political events and issuer-specific developments. If the Valuation Committee of Foresters Investment Management Company, Inc. (“FIMCO”) decides that such events warrant using fair value estimates, it will take such events into consideration in determining the fair values of such securities. If market quotations or prices are not readily available or are deemed to be unreliable, or do not appear to reflect significant events that have occurred prior to the time as of which the net assets value is calculated, the securities may be valued at fair value as determined in good faith pursuant to procedures adopted by the Board. The Funds also use evaluated prices from a pricing service to fair value foreign equity securities in the event that fluctuations in U.S. securities markets exceed a predetermined level or if a foreign market is closed. For valuation purposes, where applicable, quotations of foreign securities in foreign currency are translated to U.S. dollar equivalents using the foreign exchange quotation in effect. At June 30, 2019, the Hedged U.S. Equity Opportunities Fund held one security that was fair valued at a value of $x,xxx, representing 0% of the Fund’s net assets.

 

In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820”), investments held by the Funds are carried at “fair value”. As defined by ASC 820, fair value is the price that a fund would receive upon selling an investment in an orderly transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market for the investment under current market conditions. Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Funds’ investments.

 

In addition to defining fair value, ASC 820 established a three-tier hierarchy of inputs to establish a classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized in the three broad Levels listed below:

 

Level 1 –Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical securities 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 speeds, 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 assumption about the assumptions a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability, and would be based on the best information available.

 

Equity securities, options and futures contracts traded on an exchange or the Nasdaq Stock Market are categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy to the extent that they are actively traded and valuation adjustments are not applied. Foreign securities that are fair valued in the event that fluctuations in U.S. securities markets exceed a predetermined level or if a foreign market is closed are categorized in Level 2. Variable and floating rate, corporate, sovereign and municipal bonds, asset backed, U.S. Government and U.S. Government Agency securities, pass-through certificates loan participations and short-term notes are categorized in Level 2 to the extent that the inputs are observable and timely, otherwise they would be categorized as Level 3. Foreign exchange contracts that are considered derivative instruments and are valued at the net unrealized appreciation or depreciation on the instruments are categorized in Level 2. Securities that are fair valued by the Valuation Committee may be categorized in either Level 2 or Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy depending on the relative significance of the unobservable valuation inputs.

 

The aggregate value by input level, as of June 30, 2019, for each Fund’s investments is included at the end of each Fund’s schedule of investments.

 

Investments in securities issued on a when issued or delayed delivery basis are generally reflected in the assets of the Funds on the first business day following the date the securities are purchased and the Funds segregated assets for these transactions.

 

Derivatives—Some of the Funds may invest in various derivatives. A derivative is a financial instrument which has a value that is based on – or “derived from” – the values of other assets, reference rates, or indices. The Funds may invest in derivatives for hedging purposes.

 

Derivatives may relate to a wide variety of underlying references, such as commodities, stocks, bonds, interest rates, currency exchange rates, and related indices. Derivatives include futures contracts and options on futures contracts, forward-commitment transactions, options on securities, caps, floors, collars, swap contracts, and other financial instruments. Some derivatives, such as futures contracts and certain options, are traded on U.S. commodity and securities exchanges, while other derivatives, such as swap contracts, are privately negotiated and entered into in the over-the-counter market (“OTC”). The risks associated with the use of derivatives are different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities and other traditional investments.

 

The use of a derivative involves the risk that a loss may be sustained as a result of the insolvency or bankruptcy of the other party to the contract (usually referred to as a “counterparty”) or the failure of the counterparty to make required payments or otherwise comply with the terms of the contract. Additionally, the use of credit derivatives can result in losses if FIMCO, or the Fund’s subadviser, as applicable, does not correctly evaluate the creditworthiness of the issuer on which the credit derivative is based.

 

 

 

Derivatives may be subject to liquidity risk, which exists when a particular derivative is difficult to purchase or sell. If a derivative transaction is particularly large or if the relevant market is illiquid (as is the case with many OTC derivatives), it may not be possible to initiate a transaction or liquidate a position at an advantageous time or price.

 

Derivatives may be subject to pricing or “basis” risk, which exists when a particular derivative becomes extraordinarily expensive relative to historical prices or the prices of corresponding cash market instruments. Under certain market conditions, it may not be economically feasible to initiate a transaction or liquidate a position in time to avoid a loss or take advantage of an opportunity.

 

Because many derivatives have leverage or borrowing components, adverse changes in the value or level of the underlying asset, reference rate, or index can result in a loss substantially greater than the amount invested in the derivative itself. Certain derivatives have the potential for unlimited loss, regardless of the size of the initial investment.

 

Like most other investments, derivative instruments are subject to the risk that the market value of the instrument will change in a way detrimental to the Funds’ interest. The Funds bear the risk that FIMCO will incorrectly forecast future market trends or the values of assets, reference rates, indices, or other financial or economic factors in establishing derivative positions for the Funds. If FIMCOattempts to use a derivative as a hedge against, or as a substitute for, a portfolio investment, the Funds will be exposed to the risk that the derivative will have or will develop an imperfect or no correlation with the portfolio investment. This could cause substantial losses for the Funds. While hedging strategies involving derivative instruments can reduce the risk of loss, they can also reduce the opportunity for gain or even result in losses by offsetting favorable price movements in other investments. Many derivatives, in particular OTC derivatives, are complex and often valued subjectively. Improper valuations can result in increased cash payment requirements to counterparties or a loss of value to the Funds.

 

The following provides more information on specific types of derivatives and activity in the Funds. The use of derivative instruments by the Funds for the period ended June 30, 2019 was related to the use of written options, futures contracts and foreign exchange contracts.

 

Options Contracts – Some of the Funds may write covered call and put options on securities, derivative instruments, or currencies the Funds own or in which it may invest. Writing put options tends to increase the Funds’ exposure to the underlying instrument. Writing call options tends to decrease the Funds’ exposure to the underlying instrument. When a Fund writes a call or put option, an amount equal to the premium received is recorded as a liability and subsequently marked to market to reflect the current value of the option written. These liabilities are reflected as written options outstanding in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Payments received or made, if any, from writing options with premiums to be determined on a future date are reflected as such on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Premiums received from writing options which expire are treated as realized gains. Premiums received from writing options which are exercised or closed are added to the proceeds or offset against amounts paid on the underlying future, swap, security or currency transaction to determine the realized gain or loss. A Fund, as a writer of an option, has no control over whether the underlying future, swap, security or currency may be sold (call) or purchased (put) and, as a result, bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the future, swap, security or currency underlying the written option. The risk exists that the Funds may not be able to enter into a closing transaction because of an illiquid market.

 

 

 

Some of the Funds may also purchase put and call options. Purchasing call options tends to increase a Fund’s exposure to the underlying instrument. Purchasing put options tends to decrease a Fund’s exposure to the underlying instrument. A Fund pays a premium which is included in its Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an investment and subsequently marked to market to reflect the current value of the option. Premiums paid for purchasing options which expire are treated as realized losses. The risk associated with purchasing put and call options is limited to the premium paid. Premiums paid for purchasing options which are exercised or closed are added to the amounts paid or offset against the proceeds on the underlying future, swap, security or currency transaction to determine the realized gain or loss.

 

At June 30, 2019, the Covered Call Strategy, Hedged U.S. Equity Opportunities and Premium Income Funds had investments in options contracts, which are listed in their respective Portfolio of Investments.

 

Futures Contracts - The Funds may enter into futures contracts including interest rate futures contracts and index futures, including futures on equity market indices and debt market indices. A futures contract is an agreement between two parties to buy or sell a specified underlying instrument for a fixed price at a specified future date. The Funds may use futures contracts to manage exposure to the stock market. Upon entering into a futures contract, a fund is required to deposit either cash or securities (initial margin) with a clearing broker in an amount equal to a certain percentage of the face value of the contract. Futures contracts are marked-to-market daily and subsequent daily payments (variation margin) are made or received by a fund depending on the daily fluctuations in the value of the futures contracts and are recorded as unrealized appreciation or (depreciation). This receivable and/or payable, if any, is included in daily variation margin on futures contracts in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Realized gain or (loss) is recorded upon the expiration or closing of a futures contract. The net realized gain (loss) and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on futures contracts during the period is presented in the Statement of Operations. Any open futures contracts at period end are presented in the Schedule of Investments under the caption “Futures Contracts”. The notional amount at value reflects each contract’s exposure to the underlying instrument or index at period end.

 

The Funds may enter into interest rate futures contracts on U.S. Treasury obligations and options thereon that are traded on a U.S. exchange. An interest rate futures contract provides for the future sale by one party and the purchase by another party of a specified amount of a particular financial instrument (debt security) at a specified price, date, time and place. Such investments may be used for, among other purposes, the purpose of hedging against changes in the value of a Fund’s portfolio securities due to anticipated changes in interest rates and market conditions. A public market exists for interest rate futures contracts covering a number of debt securities, including long-term U.S. Treasury Bonds, 10-year U.S. Treasury Notes and three-month U.S. Treasury Bills. No price is paid upon entering into futures contracts. Instead, upon entering into a futures contract, a Fund is required to deposit with its custodian in a segregated account in the name of the futures broker through which the transaction is effected an amount of cash or U.S. Government securities generally equal to 3%-5% or less of the contract value. This amount is known as “initial margin.”

 

 

 

An option on an interest rate futures contract generally gives the purchaser the right, in return for the premium paid, to assume a position in a futures contract at a specified exercise price at any time prior to the expiration date of the option. The Funds may purchase put and call options on interest rate futures contracts on U.S. Treasury obligations which are traded on a U.S. exchange as a hedge against changes in interest rates, and may enter into closing transactions with respect to such options to terminate existing positions. There is no guarantee such closing transactions can be effected. When writing a call or put option on a futures contract, margin also must be deposited in accordance with applicable exchange rules. Initial margin on futures contracts is in the nature of a performance bond or good-faith deposit that is returned to a Fund upon termination of the transaction, assuming all obligations have been satisfied. Under certain circumstances, such as periods of high volatility, a Fund may be required by an exchange to increase the level of its initial margin payment. Subsequent payments, called “variation margin,” to and from the broker, are made on a daily basis as the value of the futures position varies, a process known as “marking to market.” Variation margin does not involve borrowing to finance the futures transactions, but rather represents a daily settlement of a Fund’s obligation to or from a clearing organization. A Fund is also obligated to make initial and variation margin payments when it writes options on futures contracts.

 

To the extent that a Fund participates in the futures or options markets, it will incur investment risks and transaction costs to which it would not be subject absent the use of these strategies. The use of these strategies involves certain special risks, including: (1) dependence on the ability of the Funds’ investment adviser, FIMCO, or a Fund’s subadviser, as applicable, to predict correctly movements in the direction of interest rates and securities prices; (2) imperfect correlation between the price of futures contracts and options thereon and movements in the prices of the securities or currencies being hedged; (3) the fact that skills needed to use these strategies are different from those needed to select portfolio securities; (4) the leverage (if any) that is created by investing in the option or futures contract; and (5) the possible absence of a liquid secondary market for any particular instrument at any time. If FIMCO’s, or a Fund’s subadviser, as applicable, prediction of movements in the direction of the securities and interest rate markets is inaccurate, the adverse consequences to that Fund may leave it in a worse position than if such strategies were not used. Derivatives may be difficult to sell, unwind or value.

 

At June 30, 2019, the Hedged U.S. Equity Opportunities Fund had investments in futures contracts, which are listed in its Portfolios of Investments.

 

 

 

Foreign Exchange Contracts—The Global Fund and Hedged U.S. Equity Opportunities Fund may enter into foreign exchange contracts for the purchase or sale of foreign currencies at negotiated rates at future dates. These contracts are considered derivative instruments and the Funds may invest in them in order to hedge their currency exposure or to gain currency exposure held by the Funds. The Funds could be exposed to risk if counterparties to the contracts are unable to meet the terms of their contracts or if the value of the foreign currency changes unfavorably. Foreign exchange contracts are “marked-to-market” daily at the applicable translation rate and the resulting unrealized gains and losses are reflected in the Funds’ assets. During the period, the Funds used currency forwards to hedge currency exposure from certain foreign securities as well as to gain currency exposure in certain countries.

 

At June 30, 2019, the Global Fund had no investments in foreign exchange contracts and the Hedged U.S. Equity Opportunities Fund had investments in foreign exchange contracts which are listed in its Portfolio of Investments.
