as
the
Funds’
valuation
designee
to
perform
any
fair
value
determinations
for
securities
and
other
assets
held
by
the
Funds.
The
Funds
are
required
to
disclose
information
regarding
the
fair
value
measurements
of
a
Fund’s
assets
and
liabilities.
Fair
value
is
the
price
that
would
be
received
to
sell
an
asset
or
paid
to
transfer
a
liability
in
an
orderly
transaction
between
market
participants
at
the
measurement
date.
The
measurement
requirements
established
a
three-tier
hierarchy
to
maximize
the
use
of
observable
market
data
and
minimize
the
use
of
unobservable
inputs
and
to
establish
classification
of
fair
value
measurements
for
disclosure
purposes.
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
such
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
developed
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.
The
inputs
or
methodology
used
for
valuing
securities
are
not
necessarily
an
indication
of
the
risk
associated
with
investing
in
those
securities.
Because
of
the
inherent
uncertainties
of
valuation,
the
values
reflected
in
the
portfolios
may
materially
differ
from
the
values
received
upon
actual
sale
of
those
investments.
The
three
levels
defined
by
the
fair
value
hierarchy
are
as
follows:
Level
1
Quoted
prices
in
active
markets
for
identical
securities.
Level
2
Prices
determined
using
significant
other
observable
inputs
(including
quoted
prices
for
similar
securities,
interest
rates,
prepayment
speeds,
credit
risk,
etc.).
Short-term
securities
with
maturities
of
sixty
days
or
less
are
valued
at
amortized
cost,
which
approximates
market
value,
and
are
categorized
as
Level
2
in
the
hierarchy.
Municipal
securities,
long-
term
U.S.
government
obligations
and
corporate
debt
securities
are
valued
in
accordance
with
the
evaluated
price
supplied
by
a
pricing
service
and
generally
categorized
as
Level
2
in
the
hierarchy.
Other
securities
that
are
categorized
as
Level
2
in
the
hierarchy
include,
but
are
not
limited
to,
warrants
that
do
not
trade
on
an
exchange,
securities
valued
at
the
mean
Notes

between
the
last
reported
bid
and
ask
quotation
and
international
equity
securities
valued
by
an
independent
third
party
in
order
to
adjust
for
stale
pricing.
Level
3
Prices
determined
using
significant
unobservable
inputs
(including
the
Fund’s
own
assumptions).
For
restricted
equity
securities
and
private
placements
where
observable
inputs
are
limited,
assumptions
about
market
activity
and
risk
are
used
in
determining
fair
value.

The
majority
of
securities
classified
as
Level
3
are
private
companies.
The
initial
valuation
is
usually
cost,
which
is
then
adjusted
as
determined
by
the
Valuation
Committee
for
subsequent
known
market
transactions
and
evaluated
for
progress
against
anticipated
milestones
and
current
operations.
An
evaluation
that
the
holding
no
longer
meets
expectations
could
result
in
the
application
of
discounts
and
a
significantly
lower
fair
valuation.
For
certain
securities,
the
last
known
market
transaction
is
increased
or
decreased
by
changes
in
a
market
index
or
industry
peers
as
approved
by
the
Valuation
Committee.
Affiliated
Companies
The

the
outstanding

securities.
The
following
is
a
summary
of
transactions
with
each
affiliated
company
during
the
year
ended
March
31,
2024.
At
March
31,
2024,
the
value
of
investments
in
affiliated
companies
was
$0,
representing
0%
