| A. | Fair Value Measurements. The Trust has adopted GAAP accounting principles related to fair value accounting standards which establish a definition of fair value and set out a hierarchy for measuring fair value. These standards require additional disclosures about the various inputs and valuation techniques used to develop the measurements of fair value and a discussion of changes in valuation techniques and related inputs during the period. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below: |
| Level 1—Fair value measurement within Level 1 should be based on an unadjusted quoted price in an active market that the Fund has the ability to access for the asset or liability at the measurement date. Because a quoted price alone forms the basis for the measurement, the access requirement within Level 1 limits discretion in pricing the asset or liability, including in situations in which there are multiple markets for the asset or liability with different prices and no single market represents a principal market for the asset or liability. Importantly, the FASB has indicated that when a quoted price in an active market for a security is available, that price should be used to measure fair value without regard to an entity’s intent to transact at that price. | |
| Level 2—Fair value measurement within Level 2 should be based on all inputs other than unadjusted quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability. Other significant observable market inputs include quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted adjusted prices in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar |
| instruments in markets that are not active, and model derived valuations in which the majority of significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets. | |
| Level 3—Fair value measurement within Level 3 should be based on unobservable inputs in such cases where markets do not exist or are illiquid. Significant unobservable inputs include model derived valuations in which the majority of significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable. Unobservable inputs are those inputs that reflect the Fund’s own assumptions that market participants would use to price the asset or liability based on the best available information. | |
| B. | Security Valuation. Fixed income securities including corporate, convertible and municipal bonds and notes, U.S. government agencies, U.S. Treasury obligations, sovereign issues, bank loans, convertible preferred securities and non-U.S. bonds are normally valued on the basis of quotes obtained from brokers and dealers or independent pricing services or sources. Independent pricing services typically use information provided by market makers or estimates of market values obtained from yield data relating to investments or securities with similar characteristics. The service providers’ internal models use inputs that are observable such as, among other things, issuer details, interest rates, yield curves, prepayment speeds, credit risks/ spreads, default rates and quoted prices for similar assets. Securities that use similar valuation techniques and inputs as described above are categorized as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. |
| Fixed income securities purchased on a delayed-delivery basis are typically marked to market daily until settlement at the forward settlement date. | |
| Repurchase agreements and demand notes, for which neither vendor pricing nor market maker prices are available, are valued at amortized cost on the day of valuation, unless Brandes Investment Partners, L.P. (the “Advisor”) determines that the use of amortized cost valuation on such day is not appropriate (in which case such instrument is fair valued in accordance with the fair value procedures of the Trust). | |
| Mortgage and asset-backed securities are usually issued as separate tranches, or classes, of securities within each package of underlying securities. These securities are also normally valued by pricing service providers that use broker-dealer quotations or valuation estimates from their internal pricing models. The pricing models for these securities usually consider tranche level attributes, estimated cash flows and market based yield spreads for each tranche, current market data and packaged collateral performance, as |
| available. Mortgage and asset-backed securities that use such valuation techniques and inputs are categorized as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy only if there are significant observable inputs used. | |
| Common stocks, exchange-traded fund shares and financial derivative instruments, such as futures contracts or options contracts that are traded on a national securities or commodities exchange, are valued at the last reported sales price, in the case of common stocks and exchange-traded fund shares, or, in the case of futures contracts or options contracts, the settlement price determined by the relevant exchange. Securities listed on the NASDAQ National Market System for which market quotations are readily available are valued using the NASDAQ Official Closing Price. To the extent these securities are actively traded and valuation adjustments are not applied, they are categorized as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. | |
| Valuation adjustments may be applied to certain securities that are solely traded on a foreign exchange to account for the market movement between the close of the foreign market and the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”). These securities are generally valued using pricing service providers that consider the correlation of the trading patterns of the foreign security to the intraday trading in the U.S. markets for investments. Securities using these valuation adjustments are categorized as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. None of the Fund’s securities were fair valued utilizing this method as of December 31, 2023. | |
| Investments in registered open-end management investment companies are valued based upon the Net Asset Values (“NAVs”) of such investments and are categorized as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. If, on a particular day, a share price of an investment company is not readily available, such securities are fair valued in accordance with the fair value procedures of the Trust. | |
| The Board of Trustees has designated the Advisor as the valuation designee pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act to perform fair value determinations relating to any or all Fund investments. Certain securities may be fair valued in accordance with the fair valuation procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. The Advisor is generally responsible for overseeing the day-to-day valuation processes and the Board of Trustees oversees the Advisor in its role as valuation designee in accordance with the requirements of Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act. The Advisor is authorized to make all necessary determinations of the fair value of portfolio securities and other assets for which market quotations are not readily available or if it is deemed that the prices obtained from brokers and dealers or independent pricing services are unreliable. The securities fair valued by the Advisor are indicated in the |
| Schedules of Investments and are categorized as Level 2 or Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Certain vendor priced securities may also be considered Level 3 if significant unobservable inputs are used by the vendors. | |
| In using fair value pricing, the Fund attempts to establish the price that it might reasonably have expected to receive upon a sale of the security at 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Valuing securities at fair value involves greater reliance on judgment than valuation of securities based on readily available market quotations. When using fair value to price securities, the Fund may value those securities higher or lower than another fund using market quotations or fair value to price the same securities. Further, there can be no assurance that the Fund could obtain the fair value assigned to a security if it were to sell the security at approximately the time at which the Fund determines its net asset value. |
