* Implied credit spreads, represented in absolute terms, are utilized in determining the market value of credit default swaps agreements on corporate issues or sovereign issues, serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk and represent the likelihood or risk of default for the credit derivative. The implied credit spread of the particular referenced entity reflects the cost of buying/selling protection and may include upfront payments required to be made prior to entering into the agreement. For credit default swaps with asset-backed securities or credit indices as the underlying assets, the quoted market prices and resulting market values serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk. Wider credit spreads and increasing market values, in absolute terms when compared to the notional amount of the swap, represent a deterioration of the reference entity’s credit soundness and a greater likelihood or risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the agreement.

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Aberdeen Investment Funds (the “Trust”) in the preparation of their financial statements. (Each series of the Trust is also referred to herein as a “Fund” or collectively, the “Funds”.) The policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of income and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The books and records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. Dollars.

a. Security Valuation

The Funds value their securities at current market value or fair value consistent with the Funds’ valuation procedures (“Valuation Procedures”) and regulatory requirements.

Each Fund’s assets for which market quotations are readily available are valued at fair value on the basis of quotations furnished by a pricing service or provided by securities dealers. Equity investments are generally valued using the last sale price or official closing price taken from the primary market in which each security trades, or if no sales occurred during the day, at the mean of the current quoted bid and ask prices.

Foreign equity securities that are traded on foreign exchanges that close prior to 4:00 pm Eastern time (“Valuation Time”) are valued by applying valuation factors to the last sale price or the mean price as noted above. Valuation factors are provided by an independent pricing service provider. These valuation factors are used when pricing a Fund’s portfolio holdings to estimate market movements between the time foreign markets close and the time a Fund values such foreign securities. These valuation factors are based on inputs such as depositary receipts, indices, futures, sector indices/ETFs, exchange rates, and local exchange opening and closing prices of each security. When prices with the application of valuation factors are utilized, the value assigned to the foreign securities may not be the same as quoted or published prices of the securities on their primary markets. Valuation factors are not utilized if the independent pricing service provider is unable to provide a valuation factor or if the valuation factor falls below a predetermined threshold.

Fixed income securities are generally valued using prices provided directly by independent third party services or provided directly from one or more broker dealers or market makers, each in accordance with the Valuation Procedures approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”). The pricing services may use valuation models or matrix pricing, which consider yield or prices with respect to comparable bond quotations from bond dealers or by reference to other securities that are considered comparable in such characteristics as credit rating, interest rates and maturity date, to determine current fair value.

Derivative instruments are generally valued accordingly to the following procedures. For forward currency exchange contracts the market value is interpolated by the pricing agent by using forward spot points obtained from an authorized pricing service. Futures contracts are generally valued at the most recent settlement price as of net asset value (“NAV”) determination. Generally for swap agreements, if quotes are unavailable from authorized pricing services swap pricing is determined using a modeling tool which considers and forecasts the impact of cash flow projections, prevailing and expected interest rate movements, and potential credit events. Swap prices are generally evaluated based upon the latest available data provided by the counterparty and rely upon an industry accepted modeling tool.

Assets and liabilities initially expressed in foreign currency will be converted into U.S. Dollar values. Short-term debt securities (such as commercial paper and U.S. treasury bills) having a remaining maturity of 60 days or less are valued at the last quoted or evaluated bid price on the valuation date provided by an independent pricing service, or on the basis of amortized cost if it represents the best approximation for fair value. To the extent each Fund invests in other open-ended funds, the Fund will calculate its NAV based upon the NAV of the underlying funds in which it invests. The prospectuses of these underlying funds explain the circumstances under which they will use good faith fair value pricing and the effects of such fair value pricing.

When market quotations or exchange rates are not readily available, or if the Funds’ investment adviser, Aberdeen Asset Management Inc. (the “Adviser”), concludes that such market quotations do not accurately reflect fair value, the fair value of a Fund’s assets are determined in good faith in accordance with the Valuation Procedures. For options, swaps and warrants, a fair value price may be determined using readily available market quotations, prices provided by independent pricing services, or by using modeling tools

provided by industry accepted financial data service providers. Key inputs to such tools may include yield and prices from comparable or reference assets, maturity or expiration dates, ratings, and interest rates. In addition, the Adviser, through its pricing committee, may determine the fair value price in accordance with the Valuation Procedures approved by the Board.

In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures under GAAP, the Funds disclose the fair value of their investments using a three-level hierarchy that classifies the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure the fair value. The hierarchy assigns Level 1 measurements to valuations based upon unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets, Level 2 measurements to valuations based upon significant observable inputs, including adjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets, and Level 3 measurements to valuations based upon unobservable inputs that are significant to the valuation. Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk, for example, the risk inherent in a particular valuation technique used to measure fair value including a pricing model and/or the risk inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. Inputs may be observable or unobservable.

Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, which are 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. A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The three-level hierarchy of inputs is summarized below:

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

Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, and credit risk); or

Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including a Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).

For movements between the Levels with the fair value hierarchy, the Funds have adopted a policy of recognizing transfers at the end of each period. As described above, certain foreign securities are valued utilizing valuation factors provided by an independent pricing service to reflect any significant market movements between the time foreign markets close and the time the Fund values such foreign securities. The utilization of valuation factors may result in transfers between Level 1 and Level 2. During the period ended July 31, 2015, Aberdeen Select International Equity Fund, Aberdeen Select International Equity Fund II and Aberdeen Total Return Bond Fund had no transfers between levels.

The following is a summary of significant transfers during the period ended July 31, 2015:

Evaluated Pricing: In determining the fair value of the Common Stock as of July 31, 2015, the Aberdeen Global High Income Fund took an average of the values calculated using the Income Approach – Discounted Cash Flow Method and the Market Approach – Guideline Public Company Method, weighted equally, to derive an evaluated price.

Income Approach: A well-established technique used to estimate the equity value of a company through an analysis of projected income, such as using the Discounted Cash Flow Method. Using this analysis, value is indicated from all of the future cash flows attributable to the subject company discounted to present value at a required rate of return. If debt free cash flows are used, any long-term debt is deducted from the indicated value of the invested capital to determine equity value.

Market Approach: References actual transactions in the equity of the enterprise being valued or transactions in similar enterprises that are traded in private and public markets. Third-party transactions in the equity of an entity generally represent the best estimate of fair value if they are completed at arm’s length. The Guideline Public Company Method involves identifying and selecting publicly traded companies with financial and operating characteristics similar to the company being valued. Once publicly traded companies are identified, valuation multiples can be derived, adjusted for comparability, and then applied to the subject company to estimate the value of its equity or invested capital. Similarly, the Comparable Transactions Method analyzes transactions involving target companies operating in industries similar to the subject company. While it is known that no two companies are exactly alike, nor are any two transactions structured identically, consideration is given to comparisons of the capital structure, operations, size, and profitability, as well as other operating characteristics of the target companies. Once comparable transactions for reasonable targets are identified, valuation multiples can be derived, adjusted for comparability, and then applied to the subject company to estimate the value of its equity or invested capital.

b. Repurchase Agreements

The Funds may enter into repurchase agreements under the terms of a Master Repurchase Agreement. It is each Fund’s policy that its custodian/counterparty segregate the underlying collateral securities, consisting of government securities, the value of which exceeds the principal amount of the repurchase transaction, including accrued interest. The repurchase price generally equals the price paid by a Fund plus interest negotiated on the basis of current short-term rates. To the extent that any repurchase transaction exceeds one business day, the collateral is valued on a daily basis to determine its adequacy. If the counterparty defaults and the value of the collateral declines or if bankruptcy proceedings are commenced with respect to the counterparty of the security, realization of the collateral by the Funds may be delayed or limited. Repurchase agreements are subject to contractual netting arrangements with the counterparty, Fixed Income Clearing Corp. For additional information on individual repurchase agreements, see the Statements of Investments.
