Notes to the Schedules of Investments (Unaudited)

September 30, 2015

 

1. Consolidation od Subsidiaries

 

The Consolidated Schedules of Investments of the ETF's listed below include the accounts of wholly owned subsidiaries. All inter-company accounts and transactions

have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

 

Funds Wholly Owned Subsidiary
AdvisorShares Gartman Gold/Euro ETF AdvisorShares Gartman Gold/Euro CFC
AdvisorShares Gartman Gold/Yen ETF AdvisorShares Gartman Gold/Yen CFC

  

2. Summary of Fair Value Disclosure

 

The Financial Accounting Standard Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, defines fair value, establishes an authoritative framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosure about fair value measurements. 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 — Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the company has 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 that relevant observable inputs are not available, representing the company’s own assumptions about the assumptions that a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability, and that would be based on the best information available.

 

Investments that use Level 2 or Level 3 inputs may include, but are not limited to: (i) an unlisted security related to corporate actions; (ii) a restricted security (e.g., one that may not be publicly sold without registration under the Securities Act of 1933 as amended); (iii) a security whose trading has been suspended or which has been de-listed from its primary trading exchange; (iv) a security that is thinly traded; (v) a security in default or bankruptcy proceedings for which there is no current market quotation; (vi) a security affected by currency controls or restrictions; and (vii) a security affected by a significant event (e.g., an event that occurs after the close of the markets on which the security is traded but before the time as of which a Fund’s net asset value is computed and that may materially affect the value of the Fund’s investment). Examples of events that may be “significant events” are government actions, natural disasters, armed conflicts and acts of terrorism. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

 

The following is a summary of the inputs used as of September 30, 2015 in valuing the Funds’ assets carried at fair value:
