Summary of Fair Value Exposure at February 28, 2017 (Unaudited)
               
The Trust has performed an analysis of all existing investments to determine the significance and character of all inputs to their fair value determination. Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s 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 in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, model-derived  valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets, 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)
 
 
               
Inputs that are used in determining a fair value of an investment may include price information, credit data, volatility statistics, and other factors. These inputs can be either observable or unobservable. The availability of observable inputs can vary between investments, and is affected by various factors such as the type of investment or similar investments in the marketplace. The inputs will be considered by the Adviser, along with any other relevant factors in the calculation of an investment’s fair value. The Fund uses prices and inputs that are current as of the measurement date, which may include periods of market dislocations. During these periods, the availability of prices and inputs may be reduced for many investments. This condition could cause an investment to be reclassified between the various levels within the hierarchy.
               
Investments falling into the Level 3 category are primarily supported by quoted prices from brokers and dealers participating in the market for those investments. However, these may be classified as Level 3 investments due to lack of market transparency and corroboration to support these quoted prices. Additionally, valuation models may be used as the pricing source for any remaining investments classified as Level 3. These models rely on one or more significant unobservable inputs and/or significant assumptions by the Adviser. Inputs used in valuations may include, but are not limited to, financial statement analysis, capital account balances, discount rates and estimated cash flows, and comparable company data.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

There were no transfers into or out of Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3 fair value measurements during the reporting period for the Fund, as compared to their classification from the most recent annual report. It is the Fund’s policy to consider transfers into or out of Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3 as of the end of the reporting period.
               
Derivatives and Hedging Activities at February 28, 2017 (Unaudited)
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
The Trust has adopted an accounting standard involving disclosures of derivatives and hedging activities.  The standard is intended to improve financial reporting
for derivative instruments by requiring enhanced disclosure that enables investors to understand how and why an entity uses derivatives, how derivatives are
accounted for and how derivative instruments affect an entity's results of operations and financial position.  The standard does not have any impact on the Fund's 
financial disclosures because the Fund has not maintained any positions in derivative instruments or engaged in hedging activities.
 
In January, 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-01 “Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities” in GAAP and International Reporting Financial Standards (“IFRS”). ASU No. 2013-01 clarifies ASU No. 2011-11. Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities to increase comparability and reduce presentation differences between financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP and financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS. This requires increased disclosure about derivative instruments that are offset in a reporting entity’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities and derivative instruments that are subject to a master netting agreement (“MNA”).
Specifically, the ASU requires reporting entities to present separately for assets and liabilities. a) the gross amounts of those recognized assets and recognized liabilities, b) the amounts offset to determine the net amounts presented in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, c) The net amount presented in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, d) the amounts subject to an enforceable MNA not included in (b), and e) the net amount after deducting the amounts from (d) and (c). The effective date of the ASU is for interim and annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. There is no impact of the ASU on the financial statements of the Fund for the three months ended February 28, 2017.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15 — Presentation of Financial Statements — Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40). The pronouncement determines management’s responsibility regarding assessment of the Funds’ ability to continue as a going concern, even if the Funds’ liquidation is not imminent. Currently, no similar guidance exists. Under this guidance, during each period in which financial statements are prepared, management needs to evaluate whether there are conditions or events that, in the aggregate, raise substantial doubt about the Funds’ ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the financial statements are issued. Substantial doubt exists if these conditions or events indicate that the Funds will be unable to meet their obligations as they become due. If such conditions or events exist, management should develop a plan to mitigate or alleviate these conditions or events. Regardless of management’s plan to mitigate, certain disclosures must be made in the financial statements. ASU 2014-15 is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, however, early adoption is permitted. Management does not believe that the update will have an impact on the Funds’ financial statements.
