For information on the Fund’s policies regarding the valuation of investments and other significant accounting policies, please refer to the Fund’s most recent semi-annual or annual financial statements.

 

Fair Value Measurements

 

The following is a summary of the inputs used, as of March 31, 2023, in valuing the Fund’s assets and liabilities carried at fair value. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels. Level 1 includes quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. Level 2 includes other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds and credit risk). Level 3 includes significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments). The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities.
