1. Security Valuation
The Fund utilizes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The Funds policy is to recognize transfers into or
out of Level 3 at the end of the reporting period.
|
|
|
Level 1quoted prices in active markets for identical securities (security types generally include listed equities).
|
|
|
|
Level 2prices determined using other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates,
prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.). |
|
|
|
Level 3prices determined using significant unobservable inputs (including the Valuation Committees own assumptions in determining the
fair value of investments). |
A description of the valuation techniques applied to a Funds major categories of assets
and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis is as follows:
Equity securities are valued at the official closing price
(typically last sale) on the exchange on which the securities are primarily traded or, if no closing price is available, at the last bid price and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. Restricted equity securities and private placements
that are illiquid, or are internally fair valued by the Valuation Committee, are generally categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.
Certain non-U.S. securities may be fair valued in cases where closing prices are not readily available or are
deemed not reflective of readily available market prices. For example, significant events (such as movement in the U.S. securities market, or other regional and local developments) may occur between the time that
non-U.S. markets close (where the security is principally traded) and the time that the Fund calculates its net asset value (NAV) at the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange
(NYSE) (generally 4 p.m. Eastern time) that may impact the value of securities traded in these non-U.S. markets. In such cases, the Funds fair value
non-U.S. securities using an independent pricing service which considers the correlation of the trading patterns of the non-U.S. security to the trading in the U.S.
markets for investments such as ADRs, financial futures, Exchange-traded funds (ETFs), and certain indexes, as well as prices for similar securities. Such fair valuations are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Because the
frequency of significant events is not predictable, fair valuation of certain non-U.S. common stocks may occur on a frequent basis.
Debt securities, including convertible bonds and restricted securities, are valued based on evaluated quotations received from independent pricing services or from dealers who make markets in such
securities. For most bond types, the pricing service utilizes matrix pricing that considers one or more of the following factors: yield or price of bonds of comparable quality, coupon, maturity, current cash flows, type, activity of the underlying
equities, and current day trade information, as well as dealer supplied prices. These valuations are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Structured debt instruments, such as mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities may also
incorporate collateral analysis and utilize cash flow models for valuation and are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Pricing services do not provide pricing for all securities and therefore indicative bids from dealers are
utilized which are based on pricing models used by market makers in the security and are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Debt securities that are internally fair valued by the Valuation Committee are generally categorized as
Level 3 in the hierarchy.
Listed derivatives, such as options and futures, that are actively traded are valued at the last posted
settlement price from the exchange where they are principally traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. Over-the-counter (OTC) derivative
contracts, which include forward currency contracts, swaps, swaptions, options and equity linked instruments, are valued based on model prices provided by independent pricing services or from dealer quotes. Depending on the derivative type and the
specific terms of the transaction, these models vary and include observable inputs in actively quoted markets including but not limited to: underlying reference entity details, indices, spreads, interest rates, yield curves, dividend and exchange
rates. These instruments are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Centrally cleared swaps listed or traded on a bilateral or trade facility platform, such as a registered exchange, are valued at the last posted settlement price
determined by the respective exchange. These securities are generally categorized as Level 2 within the hierarchy.
Investments in open-end mutual funds are valued at NAV. Investments in closed-end funds and ETFs are valued as of the close of regular trading on the NYSE each business day. Each is
categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.
The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Funds net assets by each major
security type. The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

Securities held by the Fund with an end of period value of $36,330 were transferred from Level 2 to Level 3 due to a
decrease in trading activities during the period.
Management has determined that the total value of Level 3 securities compared to total
net assets is not material; therefore, the rollforward of Level 3 securities and valuation inputs are not shown for the period ended April 30, 2021.
