Notes to Statements of Investments

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds in the preparation of their Statements of Investments. The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of the Statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts at the date of the Statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Security Valuation - Securities for which market quotations are readily available are valued at current market value as of “Valuation Time.” Valuation Time is as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (usually 4:00 p.m. Eastern time). Equity securities are valued at the last quoted sale price or, if there is no sale price, the last quoted bid price provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees (“Board of Trustees”). Securities traded on NASDAQ are valued at the NASDAQ official closing price. Prices are taken from the primary market or exchange in which each security trades. Investment companies are valued at net asset value as reported by such company.

Most securities listed on a foreign exchange are valued either at fair value (see description below) or at the last sale price at the close of the exchange on which the security is principally traded. Foreign securities, currencies, and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate of said currencies against the U.S. dollar, as of Valuation Time, as provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees.

Debt and other fixed-income securities (other than short-term obligations) are valued at the last quoted bid price and/or by using a combination of daily quotes and matrix evaluations provided by an independent pricing service, the use of which has been approved by the Board of Trustees. Short-term debt securities such as commercial paper and U.S. Treasury Bills, having a remaining maturity of 60 days or less at the time of purchase, are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.

Securities for which market quotations are not readily available, or for which an independent pricing service does not provide a value or provides a value that does not represent fair value in the judgment of the Funds’ investment adviser or designee, are valued at fair value under procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. In addition, fair value determinations are required for securities whose value is affected by a “significant” event that materially affects the value of a domestic or foreign security which occurs subsequent to the time of the close of the principal market on which such domestic or foreign security trades and before the Valuation Time (i.e., a “subsequent event”). Typically, this will involve events occurring after the close of a foreign market on which a security trades and before the next Valuation Time.

Shares of the Underlying Funds in which the Funds invest are valued at their respective net asset values as reported by the Underlying Funds or at the last sales price reflected at the close of the exchange on which the Underlying Funds are traded. The securities in the Underlying Funds are generally valued as of the close of business of the regular session of trading on the New York Stock Exchange. Underlying Funds generally value securities and assets at fair value.

The Funds holding foreign equity securities (the “Foreign Equity Funds”) value foreign securities at fair value in the circumstances described below. Generally, trading in foreign securities markets is completed each day at various times prior to the Valuation Time. For Funds that invest in foreign equity securities, “fair value” prices are automatically provided by an independent fair value service if such prices are available in accordance with fair value procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Fair value prices are intended to reflect more accurately the value of those securities at the time a Fund’s net asset value (“NAV”) is calculated. Fair value prices are used because many foreign markets operate at times that do not coincide with those of the major U.S. markets. Events that could affect the values of foreign portfolio holdings may occur between the close of the foreign market and the time of determining the NAV, and would not otherwise be reflected in the NAV. Due to the time differences between the closings of the relevant foreign securities exchanges and the Valuation Time for the Foreign Equity Funds, the Foreign Equity Funds will fair value their foreign investments when it is determined that the market


quotations for the foreign investments either are not readily available, are unreliable or may be affected by a significant event and therefore, do not represent fair value. When the fair value prices are utilized, the values assigned to the Foreign Equity Fund’s foreign investments may not be the quoted or published prices of the investments on their primary markets.

In 2009, the Funds adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 (“FAS157”), “Fair Value Measurements”. FAS 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. One key component of the implementation of FAS 157, included the development of a three-tier fair value hierarchy. The basis of the tiers is dependent upon the various “inputs” used to determine 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 assets.

 

   

Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayments 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, money market securities are valued using amortized cost, in accordance with rules under the 1940 Act. Generally, amortized cost approximates the current fair value of a security, but since the valuation 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’ investments as of July 31, 2009:

Repurchase AgreementsThe Funds may enter into repurchase agreements with an entity which is a member of the Federal Reserve System or certain non-bank dealers. The repurchase price generally equals the price paid by a Fund plus interest negotiated on the basis of current short-term rates, which may be more or less than the rate on the underlying portfolio securities. The seller under a repurchase agreement is required to maintain the value of the collateral held pursuant to the agreement at a market value equal to or greater than the repurchase price (including accrued interest). Collateral subject to repurchase agreements is held by the Funds’ custodian or another qualified sub-custodian or in the Federal Reserve/ Treasury book-entry system. If the counterparty defaults and the fair value of the collateral declines, realization of the collateral by the Funds may be delayed or limited. The Funds may transfer uninvested cash balances into a pooled cash account. These balances are invested in one or more repurchase agreements, which are fully collateralized by U.S. Government Agency Mortgages with the counterparty.

Short SalesCertain of the Funds are authorized to engage in short-selling of portfolio securities, which obligates the Funds to replace any security that the Funds have borrowed by purchasing the security at current market value sometime in the future. The Funds will incur a loss if the price of the security increases between the date of the short sale and the date on which the Funds replace the borrowed security. The Funds generally will realize a gain if the price of the security declines between these dates. Until the Funds replace the borrowed security, the Funds will segregate or earmark cash, other liquid assets and/or securities held long to sufficiently cover the Funds’ short position on a daily basis.

Foreign Currency Transactions – The accounting records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars at the current rate of exchange as of the Valuation Time to determine the value of investments, assets and liabilities. Purchases and sales of securities, and income and expenses are translated at the prevailing rate of exchange on the respective date of these transactions. The Funds do not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. These fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments and foreign currencies.


Forward Foreign Currency Contracts Certain Funds may enter into forward foreign currency exchange contracts in connection with planned purchases or sales of securities or to hedge the U.S. dollar value of portfolio securities denominated in a particular currency. The Funds could be exposed to risks if the counterparties to the contracts are unable to meet the terms of their contracts and from unanticipated movements in the value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar. Forward foreign currency contracts are valued at the current cost of covering these contracts, as provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees. The forward foreign currency contracts are adjusted by the daily exchange rate of the underlying currency and any gains or losses are recorded for financial statement purposes as unrealized gains or losses until the contract settlement date.

Futures ContractsCertain Funds may invest in financial futures contracts (“futures contracts”) for the purpose of hedging their existing portfolio securities or securities that the Funds intend to purchase against fluctuations in value caused by changes in prevailing market interest rates or prices. Futures contracts may also be entered into for non-hedging purposes; however, in those instances, the aggregate initial margin and premiums required to establish those Fund’s positions may not exceed 5% of the Fund’s net asset value after taking into account unrealized profits and unrealized losses on any such contract it has entered into. Upon entering into a futures contract, these Funds are required to pledge to the broker an amount of cash and/or other assets equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount (“initial margin deposit”). Subsequent payments, known as “variation margins,” payments, are made each day, depending on the daily fluctuations in the fair value/market value of the underlying assets. A gain or loss equal to the variation margin is recognized on a daily basis. Futures contracts are valued daily at their last quoted sale price. A “sale” of a futures contract means a contractual obligation to deliver the securities or foreign currency called for by the contract at a fixed price at a specified time in the future. A “purchase” of a futures contract means a contractual obligation to acquire the securities or foreign currency at a fixed price at a specified time in the future. Should market conditions change unexpectedly, a Fund may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the futures contracts and may realize a loss. The use of futures transactions for hedging purposes involves the risk of imperfect correlation in movements in the price of futures contracts, interest rates and the value/market value of the underlying hedged assets.

SwapsCertain Funds may enter into swap transactions. A swap is a contract between a Fund and another party in which the parties agree to exchange streams of payments at specified intervals based upon or calculated by reference to changes in specified prices or rates for a specified amount of any underlying asset or notional principal amount. Credit swaps involve the receipt of floating or fixed rate payments in exchange for assuming potential credit losses on an underlying security. Interest rate swaps involve the exchange by a Fund with another party of its respective commitments to pay or receive interest, such as an exchange of fixed-rate payments for floating rate payments. Currency swaps involve the exchange of the parties’ respective rights to make or receive payments in specified currencies.

Payments exchanged during the term of the swap transaction are recorded as realized gain or a loss. Changes in the value of the swap are recognized as unrealized appreciation or depreciation by “marking-to-market” to reflect the fair market value of the swap. When the swap is terminated, the Fund will record a realized gain or loss equal to the difference, if any, between the proceeds from (or cost of) the closing transaction and the Fund’s basis in the contract.

Notional amounts of swaps are used to express the extent of involvement in these transactions, although the risk of loss may exceed amounts recognized in the Fund’s financial statements. These risks include changes in the returns of the underlying instruments, failure of the counterparties to perform under the contracts’ terms and the possible lack of liquidity with respect to the contracts. A Fund is exposed to credit risk in the event of non-performance by the counterparty to the swap. The loss incurred by the failure of a counterparty is generally limited to the net payment to be received by the Fund, and/or the termination value at the end of the contract. Therefore, the Funds consider the creditworthiness of each counterparty to a swap contract in evaluating potential credit risk.


Equity-Linked NotesThe Asia Bond Institutional Fund may invest in credit linked securities, which are issued by a limited purpose trust or other vehicle that, in turn, invests in a derivative instrument or basket of derivative instruments, such as credit default swaps, interest rate swaps and other securities, in order to provide exposure to certain fixed income markets. For instance, the Fund may invest in credit linked securities as a cash management tool in order to gain exposure to a certain market and/or to remain fully invested when more traditional income producing securities are not available. Like an investment in a bond, investments in credit linked securities represent the right to receive periodic income payments (in the form of distributions) and payment of principal at the end of the term of the security. However, these payments are conditioned on the issuer’s receipt of payments from, and the issuer’s potential obligations to, the counterparties to the derivative instruments and other securities in which the issuer invests. For instance, the issuer may sell one or more credit default swaps, under which the issuer would receive a stream of payments over the term of the swap agreements provided that no event of default has occurred with respect to the referenced debt obligation upon which the swap is based. If a default occurs, the stream of payments may stop and the issuer would be obligated to pay the counterparty the par value (or other agreed upon value) of the referenced debt obligation. This, in turn, would reduce the amount of income and principal that the Fund would receive. The Fund’s investments in these instruments are indirectly subject to the risks associated with derivative instruments, including, among others, credit risk, default or similar event risk, counterparty risk, interest rate risk, leverage risk and management risk. It is also expected that the securities will be exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933. Accordingly, there may be no established trading market for the securities and they may constitute illiquid investments.

Mortgage Dollar Rolls Certain Funds may invest in mortgage dollar rolls. Mortgage dollar rolls are arrangements in which a Fund would sell mortgage-backed securities for delivery in the current month and simultaneously contract to purchase substantially similar (same type, coupon, and maturity) securities on a specified future date. During the roll period, the Fund foregoes principal and interest paid on the mortgage-backed securities. The Fund could potentially receive gains on the difference between the current sales price and the lower price for the future purchase as well as by any interest earned on the proceeds of the initial sale. At the time the Fund enters into a mortgage dollar roll, it would set aside permissible liquid assets in a segregated account to secure its obligation for the forward commitment to buy mortgage-backed securities. Depending on whether the segregated assets are cash equivalent or some other type of security, entering into mortgage dollar rolls may subject the Fund to additional interest rate sensitivity. Each mortgage dollar roll is treated as a financing transaction; therefore, any gain or loss is considered unrealized until the roll reaches completion. Mortgage dollar roll investments entail risks related to the potential inability of counterparties to complete the transaction, which may be heightened because of the delayed payment date.

Security Transactions Security transactions are accounted for on the date the security is purchased or sold (i.e., the “trade date”). Securities gains and losses are calculated on the identified cost basis.

New Accounting PronouncementsIn April 2009, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. 157-4, “Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying transactions That Are Not Orderly” (“FSP 157-4”). FSP 157-4 provides additional guidance for estimating fair value in accordance with FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“FAS 157”), when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased as well as guidance on identifying circumstances that indicate a transaction is not orderly. FSP 157-4 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods ending after June 15, 2009. Management has concluded that the adoption of FSP FAS 157-4 did not materially impact the financial statement amounts.

In March 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS 161”). SFAS 161 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. SFAS 161 requires enhanced disclosures about the Funds’ derivative and hedging activities, including how such activities are accounted for and their effect on the Funds’ financial position, performance and cash flows. Management is currently evaluating the implications of SFAS 161. The impact on the Fund’s financial statement disclosures, if any, is currently being assessed.
