1. Accounting Policies

Portfolio Valuation
— The net asset value per share (“NAV”) of each Fund is determined as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) (normally 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time) on each business day that the exchange is open for trading. Each Fund’s securities are valued at the last sale price on the securities exchange or national securities market on which such securities are primarily traded. Securities that are quoted by NASDAQ are valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price. Securities not listed on an exchange or national securities market, or securities in which there were no transactions, are valued at the average of the most recent bid and ask prices, except in the case of open short positions where the ask price is used for valuation purposes. The bid price is used when no ask price is available. Short-term investments are carried at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Restricted securities, as well as securities or other assets for which market quotations are not readily available, or are not valued by a pricing service approved by the Funds’ Board of Trustees (the “Board”), are valued at fair value in good faith by, or at the direction of, the Board.

Effective November 1, 2008, the Funds adopted Statement on Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” SFAS No. 157 establishes a single authoritative definition of fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value and requires additional disclosures about fair value measurements.

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Funds’ investments. These 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, 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)

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. For example, securities maturing within 60 days of the filing are valued using amortized cost, in accordance with rules under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Generally, amortized cost approximates the current fair value of a security, but since the value is not obtained from a quoted price in an active market, such securities are reflected as Level 2.



The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Funds’ net assets as of July 31, 2009:

    Level 1 – Quoted
Prices
  Level 2 – Other
Significant
Observable Inputs
  Level 3 – Significant
Unobservable Inputs

Investment Income — Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income, which includes the amortization of premium and accretion of discount, if any, is recorded on an accrual basis.

Security Transactions — Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Securities sold are determined on a specific identification basis.

Estimates — The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that may affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Repurchase Agreements — The Funds have agreed to purchase securities from financial institutions subject to the seller’s agreement to repurchase them at an agreed upon time and price (“repurchase agreement”). The financial institutions with whom each Fund enters into repurchase agreements are banks and broker/dealers which FBR Fund Advisers, Inc. (the “Adviser”) considers creditworthy pursuant to criteria approved by the Board. The seller under a repurchase agreement will be required to maintain the value of the securities as collateral, subject to the agreement at not less than the repurchase price plus accrued interest. The Adviser marks to market daily the value of the collateral, and, if necessary, requires the seller to maintain additional securities, to ensure that the value is not less than the repurchase price. Default by or bankruptcy of the seller would, however, expose each Fund to possible loss because of adverse market action or delays in connection with the disposition of the underlying securities.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements — In June 2009, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 168, “The FASB Accounting Standards CodificationTM and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles – a replacement of FASB Statement No 162” (“SFAS 168”). SFAS 168 replaces SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” and establishes the “FASB Accounting Standards CodificationTM” (“Codification”) as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. All guidance contained in the Codification carries an equal level of authority. On the effective date of SFAS 168, the Codification will supersede all then-existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. All other nongrandfathered non-SEC accounting literature not included in the Codification will become nonauthoritative. SFAS 168 is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The Fund is currently evaluating the impact of this new statement, but does not believe that it will have a significant impact on the determination or reporting of the Funds’ financial statements.



Other information regarding the Funds is available in the Funds’ most recent annual or semi-annual report to shareholders. This information is available on the Securities and Exchange Commission’s website at www.sec.gov.

2. Investments in Affiliates

Affiliated issuers, as defined by the Investment Company Act of 1940, are those in which a Fund’s holdings represent 5% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the issuer. A summary of each Fund’s investments in affiliates, if any, for the nine month period ended July 31, 2009, is noted below:

4. Subsequent Events

Effective as of June 16, 2009, FBR Capital Markets, Inc., the parent company of FBR Fund Advisers, Inc., is deemed to have been subject to a change in control for purposes of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), due to a change in the ownership of its outstanding voting securities. The change in control of FBR Capital Markets, Inc. is also deemed to have caused a change in control of FBR Fund Advisers, Inc., the investment adviser to the Funds, for purposes of the 1940 Act. In accordance with relevant provisions of the 1940 Act, the change in control of FBR Fund Advisers, Inc. resulted in the termination of the then-effective Investment Advisory Agreements between the Funds and FBR Fund Advisers, Inc. In connection with this development, the Board of Trustees of the Funds, pursuant to Rule 15a-4 under the 1940 Act, approved Interim Investment Advisory Agreements between the Funds and FBR Fund Advisers, Inc. which remain in effect until the earlier of: (1) the expiration of a 150 day period from June 16, 2009, or (2) until such time as shareholders of the Funds have approved proposed new Investment Advisory Agreements. Accordingly, a Special Meeting of the Shareholders of the Funds has been scheduled for October 23, 2009, at which shareholders are being asked to approve new Investment Advisory Agreements between the Funds and FBR Fund Advisers, Inc. There can be no assurance that shareholders will approve the proposed new Investment Advisory Agreements.

The Funds evaluated subsequent events from July 31, 2009, the date of this NQ through September 25, 2009, the date this NQ was issued and available. There were no subsequent events to report that would have a material impact on the Funds’ NQ.
