THE NORTH COUNTRY FUNDS
SCHEDULE OF INVESTMENTS (Unaudited)
August 31, 2020

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Trust in preparation of the Schedule of  Investments.  These policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP").  The Funds are investment companies and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standard Codification Topic 946 "Financial Services – Investment Companies."

 

Security Valuation- Securities which are traded on a national securities exchange are valued at the last quoted sale price.  NASDAQ traded securities are valued using the NASDAQ official closing price (“NOCP”).  Investments for which no sales are reported are valued at the mean between the current bid and ask prices on the day of valuation.  To the extent these securities are actively traded and valuation adjustments are not applied, they are categorized in level 1 of the fair value hierarchy described below.  When an equity security is valued by the independent pricing service using factors other than market quotations or the market is considered inactive, they will be categorized in level 2.   Short-term investments that mature in 60 days or less may be valued at amortized cost, provided such valuations represent fair value.  

 

Fixed income securities such as corporate bonds, municipal bonds, and U.S. government and agency obligations, when valued using market quotations in an active market, are categorized as level 1 securities.  However, fair value may be determined using an independent pricing service that considers market observable data such as reported sales of similar securities, broker quotes, yields, bids, offers, and other reference data. These securities would be categorized as level 2 securities.   The fair value of mortgage-backed securities is estimated by an independent pricing service which uses models that consider interest rate movements, new issue information and other security pertinent data. Evaluations of tranches (non-volatile, volatile, or credit sensitive) are based on interpretations of accepted Wall Street modeling and pricing conventions. Mortgage-backed securities are categorized in level 2 of the fair value hierarchy described below to the extent the inputs are observable and timely.

 

The Funds utilize various methods to measure the fair value of most of its investments on a recurring basis.  Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation methods. The three levels of input are:

 

Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that the Funds have the ability to access.

 

Level 2 – Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.  These inputs may include quoted prices for the identical instrument on an inactive market, prices for similar instruments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, default rates and similar data.

 

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, to the extent relevant observable inputs are not available, representing the Funds own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability, and would be based on the best information available.

 

The availability of observable inputs can vary from security to security and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of security, whether the security is new and not yet established in the marketplace, the liquidity of markets, and other characteristics particular to the security. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment.  Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3.

 

The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy.  In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls in its entirety, is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. 

 

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.  The following tables summarize the inputs used as of August 31, 2020 for the Funds' assets measured at fair value:
