Security valuation. Investments are valued at the end of each month at a minimum. The fund invests primarily in senior loans. The Board of Trustees oversees the process of the fund’s valuation of its portfolio securities, assisted by the fund’s Pricing Committee (composed of officers of the Trust), which calculates fair value determinations pursuant to procedures adopted by the Board. Assets that are not publicly traded or whose market prices are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the fund’s Pricing Committee following procedures established by the Board of Trustees. In connection with that determination, portfolio valuations are prepared in accordance with the fund’s valuation policy using valuation obtained from independent valuation firms and/or proprietary models.

Valuation techniques include discounted cash flow models, comparison with similar instruments for which observable market prices exist and other valuation models. Assumptions and inputs used in valuation techniques include risk-free and benchmark interest rates, credit spreads and other inputs used in estimating discount rates. For senior loans, the fund uses valuations from independent valuation firms, which are based on models developed from recognized US generally accepted accounting principles valuation approaches under ASC 820. Some or all of the significant inputs into these models may be unobservable and are derived either from observable market prices or rates or are estimated based on unobservable assumptions. Valuation models that employ significant unobservable inputs require a higher degree of management judgment and estimation in the determination of fair value. Judgment and estimation are usually required for the selection of the appropriate valuation model to be used, determination of expected future cash flows on the financial instrument being valued, determination of the probability of counterparty default and prepayments and selection of appropriate discount rates.

The fund uses a three-tier hierarchy to prioritize the pricing assumptions, referred to as inputs, used in valuation techniques to measure fair value. Level 1 includes securities valued using quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. Level 2 includes securities valued using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds and credit risk. Prices for securities valued using these inputs are received from independent pricing vendors and brokers and are based on an evaluation of the inputs described. Level 3 includes securities valued using significant unobservable inputs when market prices are not readily available or reliable, including the fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments. Factors used in determining value may include market or issuer specific events or trends, changes in interest rates and credit quality. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. Changes in valuation techniques and related inputs may result in transfers into or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy.

Senior loan investments are measured at fair value based on the present value of the expected cash flows of the loans. There are no quoted prices in active markets. Assumptions and inputs used in the valuation of senior loan investments include prepayment estimates, determination of the discount rate based on the risk-free interest rate adjusted for credit risk (including estimation of probability of default), liquidity and any other adjustments that the independent valuation firm believes that a third-party market participant would take into account in pricing a transaction. Senior loan investment valuations rely primarily on the use of significant unobservable inputs, including credit assumptions, which require significant judgment and, accordingly, are classified as Level 3.

Other debt obligations are typically valued based on the evaluated prices provided by an independent pricing vendor. Independent pricing vendors utilize matrix pricing which takes into account factors such as institutional-size trading in similar groups of securities, yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics and other market data, as well as broker supplied prices. Other debt obligations are generally classified as Level 2.

Investments in open-end mutual funds are valued at their respective net asset values each business day and are generally classified as Level 1.

The following is a summary of the values by input classification of the fund’s investments as of March 31, 2021 by major security category or type:

	Total value at 3-31-21	Level 1 quoted price	Level 2 Significant observable inputs	Level 3 Significant unobservable inputs
Investments in securities:
Assets
Senior loans	$152,016,159	—	—	$152,016,159
Short-term investments	39,952,563	$39,952,563	—	—
Total investments in securities	$191,968,722	$39,952,563	—	$152,016,159

The following is a reconciliation of Level 3 assets for which significant unobservable inputs were used to determine fair value. There were no transfers into or out of Level 3 during the period.

	Senior loans
Balance as of 12-31-20	$143,251,998
Purchases	17,606,695
Sales	(9,994,075)
Realized gain (loss)	40,210
Net amortization of (premium) discount	121,673
Change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation)	989,658
Balance as of 3-31-21	$152,016,159
Change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) at period end*	$1,206,656

*Change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) attributable to Level 3 securities held at the period end.

The valuation techniques and significant amounts of unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the fund’s Level 3 securities are outlined in the table below.

	Fair Value at 3-31-21	Valuation technique	Significant unobservable inputs	Input/Range	Input weighted average*
Senior loans	$152,016,159	Discounted cash flow	Discount rate	2.96% - 8.14%	5.76%

*A weighted average is an average in which each input in the grouping is assigned a weighting before summing to a single average value. The weighting of the input is determined based on a security’s fair value as a percentage of the total fair value.

A change to unobservable inputs of the fund’s Level 3 securities as of March 31, 2021 could have resulted in changes to the fair value measurement, as follows:

Significant Unobservable Input	Impact to Valuation if input had increased	Impact to Valuation if input had decreased
Discount rate	Decrease	Increase

Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of Level 3 investments, the fair value of the investments may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for such securities existed and may differ materially from the values that may ultimately be received or settled. Further, such investments will generally be subject to legal and other restrictions, or otherwise will be less liquid than publicly traded instruments. If the fund is required to liquidate a portfolio investment in a forced or liquidation sale, the fund might realize significantly less than the value at which such investment will have been previously been recorded. The fund’s investments will be subject to market risk. Market risk is the potential for changes in the value due to market changes. Market risk is directly impacted by the volatility and liquidity in the markets in which the investments are traded.

As of March 31, 2021, the fund had the following unfunded commitments outstanding:
