Fair

Value

Measurements

The

Fund’s

investments

in

securities

are

recorded

at

their

estimated

fair

value

utilizing

valuation

methods

approved

by

the

Board

of

Directors/

Trustees.

Fair

value

is

defined

as

the

price

that

would

be

received

upon

selling

an

investment

or

transferring

a

liability

in

an

orderly

transaction

to

an

independent

buyer

in

the

principal

or

most

advantageous

market

for

the

investment.

U.S.

GAAP

establishes

the

three-tier

hierarchy

which

is

used

to

maximize

the

use

of

observable

market

data

and

minimize

the

use

of

unobservable

inputs

and

to

establish

classification

of

fair

value

measurements

for

disclosure

purposes.

Observable

inputs

reflect

the

assumptions

market

participants

would

use

in

pricing

the

asset

or

liability.

Observable

inputs

are

based

on

market

data

obtained

from

sources

independent

of

the

reporting

entity.

Unobservable

inputs

reflect

management’s

assumptions

about

the

assumptions

market

participants

would

use

in

pricing

the

asset

or

liability.

Unobservable

inputs

are

based

on

the

best

information

available

in

the

circumstances.

The

following

is

a

summary

of

the

three-tiered

hierarchy

of

valuation

input

levels.

Level

1

–

Inputs

are

unadjusted

and

prices

are

determined

using

quoted

prices

in

active

markets

for

identical

securities.

Level

2

–

Prices

are

determined

using

other

significant

observable

inputs

(including

quoted

prices

for

similar

securities,

interest

rates,

credit

spreads,

etc.).

Level

3

–

Prices

are

determined

using

significant

unobservable

inputs

(including

management’s

assumptions

in

determining

the

fair

value

of

investments).

The

summarizes

the

market

value

of

(g)

Senior

loans

generally

pay

interest

at

rates

which

are

periodically

adjusted

by

reference

to

a

base

short-term,

floating

lending

rate

(Reference

Rate)

plus

an

assigned

rate

(Spread).

These

floating

lending

rates

are

generally

(i)

the

lending

rate

referenced

by

the

London

Rate

("LIBOR"),

or

(ii)

the

rate

offered

one

or

more

major

Senior

may

be

considered

restricted

in

(h)

Senior

loans

generally

are

subject

to

mandatory

optional

prepayment.

Because

of

these

mandatory

prepayment

conditions

and

because

there

may

be

significant

economic

incentives

for

a

borrower

to

prepay,

prepayments

of

senior

may

occur.

As

a

result,

the

of

held

may

be

substantially

less

shown.
