* 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. Mutual Funds and Exchange Traded Funds are valued at their closing net asset value as reported to NASDAQ.  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, following the input prioritization hierarchy established by GAAP. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

 

·                  Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

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

·                  Level 3 - prices determined using significant unobservable inputs where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable or less reliable (including management’s own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in pricing an investment)

 

The inputs or methodology 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 Fund 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, forward foreign currency exchange contracts and short-term investments valued at amortized cost. Additionally, securities fair valued by the Fund’s Valuation Committee that rely on significant observable inputs are also included in level 2. Typical Level 3 securities include any security fair valued by the Fund’s Valuation Committee that relies on significant unobservable inputs.

The Fund’s assets assigned to the Level 2 input category are generally valued using the market approach, in which a security’s value is determined through its correlation to prices and information from market transactions for similar or identical assets. Foreign equities are generally valued at the last sales price on the foreign exchange or market on which they trade. The Fund may use a systematic fair valuation model provided by an independent third party to value securities principally traded in foreign markets in order to adjust for possible stale pricing that may occur between the close of the foreign exchanges and the time for valuation. These models take into account available market data including intraday index, ADR, and ETF movements. Securities acquired via private placement that have a holding period or an extended settlement period are valued at a discount to the same shares that are trading freely on the market. These discounts are determined by the advisor’s experience with similar securities or situations. Factors may include, but are not limited to, trade volume, shares outstanding and stock price. Warrants which do not trade are valued as a percentage of the actively trading common stocks using a model, based on Black Scholes.

 

Certain short-term obligations may be valued using amortized cost, an income approach which converts future cash flows to a present value based upon the discount or premium at purchase.

 

The Fund’s assets assigned to the Level 3 input category are valued at fair value as determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees. To determine fair value, management will utilize the valuation technique that they deem the most appropriate in the circumstances. Securities for which no market exists are valued based upon the market approach using inputs from the investment team but ultimately decided by the Board of Trustees. These may include, but are not limited to, projected earnings, available cash, line of business, multiples, and consideration of the prioritization of the equity in a company’s capital structure.

 

There were no significant transfers of financial assets between levels 1 and 2 during the period.

 

The following table reconciles asset balances for the nine-month period ending September 30, 2010, in which significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) were used in determining value:

* 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. Mutual Funds and Exchange Traded Funds are valued at their closing net asset value as reported to NASDAQ. 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, following the input prioritization hierarchy established by GAAP. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

 

·                  Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

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

·                  Level 3 – prices determined using significant unobservable inputs where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable or less reliable (including management’s own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in pricing an investment)

 

The inputs or methodology 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 Fund 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, forward foreign currency exchange contracts and short-term investments valued at amortized cost. Additionally, securities fair valued by the Fund’s Valuation Committee that rely on significant observable inputs are also included in level 2. Typical Level 3 securities include any security fair valued by the Fund’s Valuation Committee that relies on significant unobservable inputs.

 

The following table summarizes the inputs used, as of September 30, 2010, in valuing the Fund’s assets:

The Fund’s assets assigned to the Level 2 input category are generally valued using the market approach, in which a security’s value is determined through its correlation to prices and information from market transactions for similar or identical assets. Foreign equities are generally valued at the last sales price on the foreign exchange or market on which they trade. The Fund may use a systematic fair valuation model provided by an independent third party to value securities principally traded in foreign markets in order to adjust for possible stale pricing that may occur between the close of the foreign exchanges and the time for valuation. These models take into account available market data including intraday index, ADR, and ETF movements. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are valued at the prevailing forward exchange rate of the underlying currencies. Securities acquired via private placement that have a holding period or an extended settlement period are valued at a discount to the same shares that are trading freely on the market. These discounts are determined by the advisor’s experience with similar securities or situations. Factors may include, but are not limited to, trade volume, shares outstanding and stock price.

 

Certain short-term obligations may be valued using amortized cost, an income approach which converts future cash flows to a present value based upon the discount or premium at purchase.

 

The Fund’s assets assigned to the Level 3 input category are valued at fair value as determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees. To determine fair value, management will utilize the valuation technique that they deem the most appropriate in the circumstances. Securities for which no market exists are valued based upon the market approach using inputs from the investment team but ultimately decided by the Board of Trustees. These may include, but are not limited to, projected earnings, available cash, line of business, multiples, and consideration of the prioritization of the equity in a company’s capital structure.

* 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. Mutual Funds and Exchange Traded Funds are valued at their closing net asset value as reported to NASDAQ. 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, following the input prioritization hierarchy established by GAAP. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

 

·      Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

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

·      Level 3 — prices determined using significant unobservable inputs where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable or less reliable (including management’s own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in pricing an investment)

 

The inputs or methodology 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 Fund 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, forward foreign currency exchange contracts and short-term investments valued at amortized cost. Additionally, securities fair valued by the Fund’s Valuation Committee that rely on significant observable inputs are also included in level 2. Typical Level 3 securities include any security fair valued by the Fund’s Valuation Committee that relies on significant unobservable inputs.

The Fund’s assets assigned to the Level 2 input category are generally valued using the market approach, in which a security’s value is determined through its correlation to prices and information from market transactions for similar or identical assets. Warrants which do not trade are valued as a percentage of the actively trading common stock using a model, based on Black Scholes.

 

Certain short-term obligations may be valued using amortized cost, an income approach which converts future cash flows to a present value based upon the discount or premium at purchase.

 

The Fund’s assets assigned to the Level 3 input category are valued at fair value as determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees. To determine fair value, management will utilize the valuation technique that they deem the most appropriate in the circumstances. Securities for which no market exists are valued based upon the market approach using inputs from the investment team but ultimately decided by the Board of Trustees. These may include, but are not limited to, projected earnings, available cash, line of business, multiples, and consideration of the prioritization of the equity in a company’s capital structure.

 

There were no significant transfers of financial assets between levels 1 and 2 during the period.

* 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. Mutual Funds and Exchange Traded Funds are valued at their closing net asset value as reported to NASDAQ.  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, following the input prioritization hierarchy established by GAAP. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

 

·                  Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

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

·                  Level 3 — prices determined using significant unobservable inputs where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable or less reliable (including management’s own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in pricing an investment)

 

The inputs or methodology 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 Fund 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, forward foreign currency exchange contracts and short-term investments valued at amortized cost. Additionally, securities fair valued by the Fund’s Valuation Committee that rely on significant observable inputs are also included in level 2. Typical Level 3 securities include any security fair valued by the Fund’s Valuation Committee that relies on significant unobservable inputs.

The Fund’s assets assigned to the Level 2 input category are generally valued using the market approach, in which a security’s value is determined through its correlation to prices and information from market transactions for similar or identical assets. Foreign equities are generally valued at the last sales price on the foreign exchange or market on which they trade. The Fund may use a systematic fair valuation model provided by an independent third party to value securities principally traded in foreign markets in order to adjust for possible stale pricing that may occur between the close of the foreign exchanges and the time for valuation. These models take into account available market data including intraday index, ADR, and ETF movements.

 

Certain short-term obligations may be valued using amortized cost, an income approach which converts future cash flows to a present value based upon the discount or premium at purchase.

 

There were no significant transfers of financial assets between levels 1 and 2 during the period.

* 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. Mutual Funds and Exchange Traded Funds are valued at their closing net asset value as reported to NASDAQ. 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, following the input prioritization hierarchy established by GAAP. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

 

·                  Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

 

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

 

·                  Level 3 — prices determined using significant unobservable inputs where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable or less reliable (including management’s own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in pricing an investment)

 

 

 

The inputs or methodology 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 Fund 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, forward foreign currency exchange contracts and short-term investments valued at amortized cost. Additionally, securities fair valued by the Fund’s Valuation Committee that rely on significant observable inputs are also included in level 2. Typical Level 3 securities include any security fair valued by the Fund’s Valuation Committee that relies on significant unobservable inputs.

The Fund’s assets assigned to the Level 2 input category are generally valued using the market approach, in which a security’s value is determined through its correlation to prices and information from market transactions for similar or identical assets. Foreign equities are generally valued at the last sales price on the foreign exchange or market on which they trade. The Fund may use a systematic fair valuation model provided by an independent third party to value securities principally traded in foreign markets in order to adjust for possible stale pricing that may occur between the close of the foreign exchanges and the time for valuation. These models take into account available market data including intraday index, ADR, and ETF movements. Securities acquired via private placement that have a holding period or an extended settlement period are valued at a discount to the same shares that are trading freely on the market. These discounts are determined by the advisor’s experience with similar securities or situations. Factors may include, but are not limited to, trade volume, shares outstanding and stock price. Warrants which do not trade are valued as a percentage of the actively trading common stocks using a model, based on Black Scholes.

 

Certain short-term obligations may be valued using amortized cost, an income approach which converts future cash flows to a present value based upon the discount or premium at purchase.

 

The Fund’s assets assigned to the Level 3 input category are valued at fair value as determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees. To determine fair value, management will utilize the valuation technique that they deem the most appropriate in the circumstances. Securities for which no market exists are valued based upon the market approach using inputs from the investment team but ultimately decided by the Board of Trustees. These may include, but are not limited to, projected earnings, available cash, line of business, multiples, and consideration of the prioritization of the equity in a company’s capital structure.

 

There were no significant transfers of financial assets between levels 1 and 2 during the period.

* Security Valuation:

 

Investments in portfolio funds are valued at their net asset values as reported by the portfolio funds. Short-term investments maturing in 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.

 

 

 

Various inputs are used in determining the value of each Fund’s investments, following the input prioritization hierarchy established by GAAP. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

 

·                  Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

 

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

 

·                  Level 3 — prices determined using significant unobservable inputs where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable or less reliable (including management’s own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in pricing an investment)

 

 

 

The inputs or methodology 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, forward foreign currency exchange contracts and short-term investments valued at amortized cost. Additionally, securities fair valued by the Fund’s Valuation Committee that rely on significant observable inputs are also included in level 2. Typical Level 3 securities include any security fair valued by the Funds’ Valuation Committee that relies on significant unobservable inputs.
