* Security Valuation:

 

Securities of the Fund are valued at market value or, if a market quotation for a security is not readily available or is deemed not to be reliable because of events or circumstances that have occurred between the market quotation and the time as of which the security is to be valued, the security is valued at a fair value determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures established by the Board of Trustees.  A security traded on a securities exchange or in an over-the-counter market in which transaction prices are reported is valued at the last sales price at the time of valuation. A security traded principally on NASDAQ is valued at the NASDAQ official closing price. A security for which there is no reported sale on the valuation date is valued at the latest bid quotation. Short-term investments maturing in 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. A security for which a market quotation is not readily available and any other assets are valued at its fair value determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures established by the Board of Trustees. The Fund has retained an independent statistical fair value pricing service that employs a systematic methodology to assist in the fair valuation process for securities principally traded in a foreign market in order to adjust for possible changes in value that may occur between the close of the foreign exchange and the time as of which the securities are to be valued. If a security is valued at fair value, that value may be different from the last quoted market price for the security.

 

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 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

·                  Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk and others)

·                  Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including management’s own assumptions in determining the value of investments)

 

The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

 

Examples of the types of securities in which the Funds would typically invest and how they are classified within this hierarchy are as follows. Typical Level 1 securities include exchange traded domestic equities, mutual funds whose NAVs are published each day and exchange traded foreign equities that are not statistically fair valued. Typical Level 2 securities include exchange traded foreign equities that are statistically fair valued and short-term investments valued at amortized cost.

* Security Valuation:

 

Securities of the Fund are valued at market value or, if a market quotation for a security is not readily available or is deemed not to be reliable because of events or circumstances that have occurred between the market quotation and the time as of which the security is to be valued, the security is valued at a fair value determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures established by the Board of Trustees.  A security traded on a securities exchange or in an over-the-counter market in which transaction prices are reported is valued at the last sales price at the time of valuation. A security traded principally on NASDAQ is valued at the NASDAQ official closing price. A security for which there is no reported sale on the valuation date is valued at the latest bid quotation. Short-term investments maturing in 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. A security for which a market quotation is not readily available and any other assets are valued at its fair value determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures established by the Board of Trustees. The Fund has retained an independent statistical fair value pricing service that employs a systematic methodology to assist in the fair valuation process for securities principally traded in a foreign market in order to adjust for possible changes in value that may occur between the close of the foreign exchange and the time as of which the securities are to be valued. If a security is valued at fair value, that value may be different from the last quoted market price for the security.

 

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 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

·                  Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk and others)

·                  Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including management’s own assumptions in determining the value of investments)

 

The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

 

Examples of the types of securities in which the Funds would typically invest and how they are classified within this hierarchy are as follows. Typical Level 1 securities include exchange traded domestic equities, mutual funds whose NAVs are published each day and exchange traded foreign equities that are not statistically fair valued. Typical Level 2 securities include exchange traded foreign equities that are statistically fair valued and short-term investments valued at amortized cost. Typical Level 3 securities include any security fair valued by the Funds’ Valuation Committee that relies on significant unobservable inputs.

 

The following table summarizes the inputs used, as of September 30, 2009, in valuing the Fund’s assets:

* Security Valuation:

 

Securities of the Fund are valued at market value or, if a market quotation for a security is not readily available or is deemed not to be reliable because of events or circumstances that have occurred between the market quotation and the time as of which the security is to be valued, the security is valued at a fair value determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures established by the Board of Trustees.  A security traded on a securities exchange or in an over-the-counter market in which transaction prices are reported is valued at the last sales price at the time of valuation. A security traded principally on NASDAQ is valued at the NASDAQ official closing price. A security for which there is no reported sale on the valuation date is valued at the latest bid quotation. Short-term investments maturing in 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. A security for which a market quotation is not readily available and any other assets are valued at its fair value determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures established by the Board of Trustees. The Fund has retained an independent statistical fair value pricing service that employs a systematic methodology to assist in the fair valuation process for securities principally traded in a foreign market in order to adjust for possible changes in value that may occur between the close of the foreign exchange and the time as of which the securities are to be valued. If a security is valued at fair value, that value may be different from the last quoted market price for the security.

 

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 — quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

·  Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk and others)

·  Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including management’s own assumptions in determining the value of investments)

 

The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

 

Examples of the types of securities in which the Funds would typically invest and how they are classified within this hierarchy are as follows. Typical Level 1 securities include exchange traded domestic equities, mutual funds whose NAVs are published each day and exchange traded foreign equities that are not statistically fair valued. Typical Level 2 securities include exchange traded foreign equities that are statistically fair valued and short-term investments valued at amortized cost. Typical Level 3 securities include any security fair valued by the Funds’ Valuation Committee that relies on significant unobservable inputs.

 

The following table summarizes the inputs used, as of September 30, 2009, in valuing the Fund’s assets:

* Security Valuation:

 

Securities of the Fund are valued at market value or, if a market quotation for a security is not readily available or is deemed not to be reliable because of events or circumstances that have occurred between the market quotation and the time as of which the security is to be valued, the security is valued at a fair value determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures established by the Board of Trustees.  A security traded on a securities exchange or in an over-the-counter market in which transaction prices are reported is valued at the last sales price at the time of valuation. A security traded principally on NASDAQ is valued at the NASDAQ official closing price. A security for which there is no reported sale on the valuation date is valued at the latest bid quotation. Short-term investments maturing in 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. A security for which a market quotation is not readily available and any other assets are valued at its fair value determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures established by the Board of Trustees. The Fund has retained an independent statistical fair value pricing service that employs a systematic methodology to assist in the fair valuation process for securities principally traded in a foreign market in order to adjust for possible changes in value that may occur between the close of the foreign exchange and the time as of which the securities are to be valued. If a security is valued at fair value, that value may be different from the last quoted market price for the security.

 

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 — quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

·  Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk and others)

·  Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including management’s own assumptions in determining the value of investments)

 

The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

 

Examples of the types of securities in which the Funds would typically invest and how they are classified within this hierarchy are as follows. Typical Level 1 securities include exchange traded domestic equities, mutual funds whose NAVs are published each day and exchange traded foreign equities that are not statistically fair valued. Typical Level 2 securities include exchange traded foreign equities that are statistically fair valued and short-term investments valued at amortized cost. Typical Level 3 securities include any security fair valued by the Funds’ Valuation Committee that relies on significant unobservable inputs.

 

The following table summarizes the inputs used, as of September 30, 2009, in valuing the Fund’s assets:

* Security Valuation:

 

Securities of the Fund are valued at market value or, if a market quotation for a security is not readily available or is deemed not to be reliable because of events or circumstances that have occurred between the market quotation and the time as of which the security is to be valued, the security is valued at a fair value determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures established by the Board of Trustees.  A security traded on a securities exchange or in an over-the-counter market in which transaction prices are reported is valued at the last sales price at the time of valuation. A security traded principally on NASDAQ is valued at the NASDAQ official closing price. A security for which there is no reported sale on the valuation date is valued at the latest bid quotation. Short-term investments maturing in 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. A security for which a market quotation is not readily available and any other assets are valued at its fair value determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures established by the Board of Trustees. The Fund has retained an independent statistical fair value pricing service that employs a systematic methodology to assist in the fair valuation process for securities principally traded in a foreign market in order to adjust for possible changes in value that may occur between the close of the foreign exchange and the time as of which the securities are to be valued. If a security is valued at fair value, that value may be different from the last quoted market price for the security.

 

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 — quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

·  Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk and others)

·  Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including management’s own assumptions in determining the value of investments)

 

The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

 

Examples of the types of securities in which the Funds would typically invest and how they are classified within this hierarchy are as follows. Typical Level 1 securities include exchange traded domestic equities, mutual funds whose NAVs are published each day and exchange traded foreign equities that are not statistically fair valued. Typical Level 2 securities include exchange traded foreign equities that are statistically fair valued and short-term investments valued at amortized cost. Typical Level 3 securities include any security fair valued by the Funds’ Valuation Committee that relies on significant unobservable inputs.
