Notes to Schedule of Investments
Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") accounting standards codification "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures" Topic 820 ("ASC 820"), establishes an authoritative definition of fair value and sets out a hierarchy for measuring fair value. ASC 820 requires additional disclosures about the various inputs used to develop the measurements of fair value. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
• | Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical investments. |
• | 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 of 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 Fund's 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 valuation techniques used by the Fund to measure fair value for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 maximized the use of observable inputs and minimized the use of unobservable inputs. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, no securities held by the Fund were deemed as Level 3.
The following is a summary of the inputs used as of September 30, 2018, in valuing the Fund's investments carried at fair value:
