NOTES TO SCHEDULE OF INVESTMENTS
January 31, 2025 (unaudited)

 

 

NOTE A — SECURITY VALUATION

 

Security Valuation: Portfolio securities listed on recognized U.S. or foreign security exchanges are valued at the last quoted sales price in the principal market where they are traded. Listed securities with no such sales price and unlisted securities are valued at the mean between the current bid and asked prices, if any, from brokers. Short-term investments having maturities of sixty days or less are valued at amortized cost (original purchase cost as adjusted for amortization of premium or accretion of discount) which when combined with accrued interest approximates market value. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or are deemed unreliable are valued at fair value in good faith by or at the direction of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) in accordance with the Fund’s Valuation Procedures. For securities listed on non-North American exchanges, the Fund fair values those securities daily using fair value factors provided by a third-party pricing service if certain thresholds determined by the Board are met. Direct Investments and derivatives investments, if any, are valued at fair value as determined by or at the direction of the Board based on financial and other information supplied by the Direct Investment Manager or a third-party pricing service.

 

Factors used in determining fair value may include, but are not limited to, the type of security, the size of the holding, the initial cost of the security, the existence of any contractual restrictions on the security’s disposition, the price and extent of public trading in similar securities of the issuer or of comparable companies, the availability of quotations from broker-dealers, the availability of values of third parties other than the Investment Manager, information obtained from the issuer, analysts, and/or the appropriate stock exchange (if available), an analysis of the company’s financial statements, an evaluation of the forces that influence the issuer and the market(s) in which the security is purchased and sold and with respect to debt securities, the maturity, coupon, creditworthiness, currency denomination, and the movement of the market in which they trade.

 

The Fund has adopted fair valuation 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 — Inputs that reflect unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Fund has the ability to access at the measurement date;

 

Level 2 — Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly, including inputs in markets that are not considered to be active;

 

Level 3 — Inputs that are unobservable.

 

The following is a summary of the inputs used as of January 31, 2025 in valuing the Fund’s investments carried at value:
