INVESTMENT VALUATION (UNAUDITED)
|
|||||
Equity securities and debt securities traded on a national securities exchange or national market, except those traded using the National Association of Securities Dealers’ Automated
Quotation System (“NASDAQ”), are valued at the latest sales price thereof, or if no sale was reported on that date, the mean between the most recent quoted bid and ask price is used. All equity securities that are traded using NASDAQ are
valued using the NASDAQ Official Closing Price (“NOCP”), which may not necessarily represent the last sales price. If there has been no sale on such exchange or on NASDAQ on such day, the security is valued at the mean between the most recent
quoted bid and ask price.
|
|||||
When market quotations are not readily available, any security or other asset is valued at its fair value as determined in good faith under procedures approved by the Board of Trustees
(the “Board”). If events occur that will affect the value of a Fund’s portfolio securities before the net asset value (“NAV”) has been calculated (a “significant event”), the security will generally be priced using a fair value procedure. The
Board has adopted specific procedures for valuing portfolio securities and delegated the responsibility of fair value determinations to the Valuation Committee. Some of the factors that may be considered by the Valuation Committee in
determining fair value are fundamental analytical data relating to the investment; the nature and duration of any restriction on the position; trading in similar securities of the same issuer or comparable companies; information from
broker-dealers; and an evaluation of the forces that influence the market in which the securities are purchased or sold. As of June 30, 2023, the Fund did not hold fair valued securities.
|
|||||
Debt securities with remaining maturities of 60 days or less are normally valued at the last reported sale price. If there is no trade on the particular day, then the security will be
priced at the mean between the most recent bid and ask prices.
|
|||||
Restricted securities include securities that have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and securities that are subject to restrictions on resale. The Funds
may invest in restricted securities that are consistent with the Funds’ investment objectives and investment strategies. In some cases, the issuer of restricted securities has agreed to register such securities for resale, at the issuer’s
expense either upon demand by the Funds or in connection with another registered offering of the securities. Investments in restricted securities are valued utilizing the Funds’ corporate bond valuation policies.
|
|||||
FOREIGN INVESTMENT RISK
|
|||||
Investing in securities of foreign corporations and governments involves additional risks relating to: political, social, religious and economic developments abroad; market instInvesting
in securities of foreign corporations and governments involves additional risks relating to: political, social, religious and economic developments abroad; market instability; fluctuations in foreign exchange rates; different regulatory
requirements, market practices, accounting standards and practices; and less publicly available information about foreign issuers. Additionally, these investments may be less liquid, carry higher brokerage commissions and other fees, and
procedures and regulations governing transactions and custody in foreign markets also may involve delays in payment, delivery or recovery of money or investments. Investments in common stocks of U.S. companies with international operations,
and the purchase of sponsored or unsponsored ADRs (American Depositary Receipt) carry similar risks. In addition to risks associated with investing in foreign securities, there are special risks associated with investments in China and Hong
Kong, including exposure to currency fluctuations, less liquidity, expropriation, confiscatory taxation, nationalization, exchange control regulations, differing legal standards and rapid fluctuations in inflation and interest rates. The
Chinese government could, at any time, alter or discontinue economic reform programs implemented since 1978.

Summary of Fair Value Exposure at June 30, 2023 (Unaudited)
|
|||||
In accordance with FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements (“ASC 820”), fair value is defined as the price that a Fund would receive to sell an investment or pay to transfer a liability in
an orderly transaction with an independent buyer in the principal market, or in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market for the investment or liability. ASC 820 establishes a three-tier hierarchy to distinguish between
(1) inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs) and (2) inputs that reflect
the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs) and to establish
classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Funds’ investments. The inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
|
|||||
Level 1 — Valuations based on quoted prices for investments in active markets that a Fund has the ability to access at the measurement date. Valuation adjustments are not applied to Level
1 investments.
|
|||||
Level 2 — Valuations based on other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.).
|
|||||
Level 3 —Valuations based on significant unobservable inputs (including a Fund’s own assumptions and judgment in determining the fair value of investments).
|
|||||
Inputs that are used in determining 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, and the volume and level of activity for that investment or similar investments in the
market place. The inputs will be considered by Kornitzer Capital Management (“Advisor”), along with any other relevant factors in the calculation of an investment’s fair value. The Funds use 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.
|
|||||
Non-U.S. equity securities actively traded in foreign markets may be reflected in Level 2 despite the availability of closing prices, because the Funds evaluate and determine whether
those closing prices reflect fair value at the close of the NYSE or require adjustment, as described above and in the Foreign Investment Risk note above.
|
|||||
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 made by the Valuation Committee. 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 necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
|
|||||
The following table provides the fair value measurement of applicable Fund assets and liabilities by level within the fair value hierarchy as of June 30, 2023. These assets are measured
on a recurring basis.

TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

Values of investments denominated in foreign currencies are converted into U.S. dollars using a spot market rate of exchange on the day of valuation. Purchases and
sales of investments and dividend and interest income are translated to U.S. dollars using a spot market rate of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. The portion of security gains or losses resulting from changes
in foreign exchange rates is included with net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments, as appropriate, for both financial reporting and tax purposes.

PURCHASED AND WRITTEN OPTIONS CONTRACTS

The Fund may purchase and write call or put options on securities and indices and enter into related closing transactions. As a holder of a call option, a Fund has
the right, but not the obligation, to purchase a security at the exercise price during the exercise period. As the writer of a call option, a Fund has the obligation to sell the security at the exercise price during the exercise period. The
Fund did not hold purchased or written call options as of June 30, 2023. The Fund’s maximum payout in the case of written call option contracts cannot be determined. As a holder of a put option, a Fund has the right, but not the obligation,
to sell a security at the exercise price during the exercise period. As the writer of a put option, a Fund has the obligation to buy the underlying security at the exercise price during the exercise period. The Fund did not hold any purchased
or written put options as of June 30, 2023. The premium that a Fund pays when purchasing an option or receives when writing an option will reflect, among other things, the market price of the security, the relationship of the exercise price
to the market price of the security, the relationship of the exercise price to the volatility of the security, the length of the option period and supply and demand factors. The premium is the market value of an option at the time of
purchase. A purchaser (holder) of a put option pays a non-refundable premium to the seller (writer) of a put option to obtain the right to sell a specified amount of a security at a fixed price (the exercise price) during a specified period
(exercise period). Conversely, the seller (writer) of a put option, upon payment by the holder of the premium, has the obligation to buy the security from the holder of the put option at the exercise price during the exercise period.
Exchange traded options are valued at the composite price, using the National Best Bid and Offer quotes (“NBBO”). NBBO consists of the highest bid prices and lowest ask prices across any of the exchanges on which an option is quoted, thus
providing a view across the entire U.S. options marketplace. Specifically, composite pricing looks at the last trades on the exchanges where the options are traded. If there are no trades for the option on a given business day, composite
option pricing calculates the mean of the highest bid price and lowest ask price across the exchanges where the option is traded. Non exchange traded options also will be valued at the mean between the last bid and ask quotations. For options
where market quotations are not readily available, a fair value shall be determined as set forth in the Fund’ fair valuation guidelines. The Fund may use options with the objective to generate income as a non-principal investment strategy. A
risk of using derivatives is that the counterparty to a derivative may fail to comply with their obligation to the Fund.
