Fair Value Measurements

 

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments, following the input prioritization hierarchy established by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (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 Valuation Committee (the Committee) of the Fund’s Board of Trustees (the Board) that rely on significant observable inputs are also included in Level 2. Typical Level 3 securities include any security fair valued by the Committee that relies on significant unobservable inputs.

 

Under the direction of the Board, the Committee is responsible for carrying out the valuation procedures approved by the Board.

 

The Committee meets as necessary, and no less frequently than quarterly, to determine fair values for securities for which market quotations are not readily available or for which the investment manager believes that available market quotations are unreliable, to review the appropriateness of the Trust’s Portfolio Pricing Policy and the pricing procedures of the investment manager (the Policies), and to review the continuing appropriateness of the current value of any security subject to the Policies. The Policies address, among other things: circumstances under which market quotations will be deemed readily available; selection of third party pricing vendors; appropriate pricing methodologies; events that require fair valuation and fair value techniques; and circumstances under which securities will be deemed to pose a potential for stale pricing, including when securities are illiquid, restricted, or in default. The Committee may also meet to discuss additional valuation matters, which may include review of back-testing results, review of time-sensitive information or approval of other valuation related actions, and to review the appropriateness of the Policies.

 

For investments categorized as Level 3, the significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Funds’ securities may include: (i) data specific to the issuer or comparable issuers, (ii) general market or specific sector news and (iii) quoted prices and specific or similar security transactions. The Committee considers this data and any changes from prior periods in order to assess the reasonableness of observable and unobservable inputs, any assumptions or internal models used to value those securities and changes in fair value. Significant changes in any of these factors could result in lower or higher fair value measurements. Various factors impact the frequency of monitoring (which may occur as often as daily), however the Committee may determine that changes to inputs, assumptions and models are not required with the same frequency.

The Fund’s assets assigned to the Level 2 input category are generally valued using a market approach, in which a security’s value is determined through its correlation to prices and information from observable market transactions for similar or identical assets. Foreign equities are generally valued at the last sale price on the foreign exchange or market on which they trade. The Fund may use a statistical fair valuation model, in accordance with the policy adopted by the Board, 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 investment manager’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 stock using a model, based on Black Scholes. Securities which have halted or temporarily stopped trading are valued at the last sale and adjusted by a premium or a discount to account for the anticipated re-opening price. These adjustments are determined by the investment manager’s experience with similar securities or situations.

 

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

 

The Fund does not hold any significant investments categorized as Level 3.

 

Certain common stock classified as Level 3 are valued at fair value, using a market approach, as determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Board. To determine fair value for these securities, for which no market exists, the Committee utilizes the valuation technique it deems most appropriate in the circumstances, using some unobservable inputs, which may include but are not limited to trades of similar securities, estimated earnings of the company, market multiples derived from a set of comparable companies, and the position of the security within the company’s capital structure. Significant increases or decreases to any of these inputs could result in a significantly lower or higher fair value measurement.

Fair Value Measurements

 

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments, following the input prioritization hierarchy established by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (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 Valuation Committee (the Committee) of the Fund’s Board of Trustees (the Board) that rely on significant observable inputs are also included in Level 2. Typical Level 3 securities include any security fair valued by the Committee that relies on significant unobservable inputs.

 

Under the direction of the Board, the Committee is responsible for carrying out the valuation procedures approved by the Board.

 

The Committee meets as necessary, and no less frequently than quarterly, to determine fair values for securities for which market quotations are not readily available or for which the investment manager believes that available market quotations are unreliable, to review the appropriateness of the Trust’s Portfolio Pricing Policy and the pricing procedures of the investment manager (the Policies), and to review the continuing appropriateness of the current value of any security subject to the Policies. The Policies address, among other things: circumstances under which market quotations will be deemed readily available; selection of third party pricing vendors; appropriate pricing methodologies; events that require fair valuation and fair value techniques; and circumstances under which securities will be deemed to pose a potential for stale pricing, including when securities are illiquid, restricted, or in default. The Committee may also meet to discuss additional valuation matters, which may include review of back-testing results, review of time-sensitive information or approval of other valuation related actions, and to review the appropriateness of the Policies.

 

For investments categorized as Level 3, the significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Funds’ securities may include: (i) data specific to the issuer or comparable issuers, (ii) general market or specific sector news and (iii) quoted prices and specific or similar security transactions. The Committee considers this data and any changes from prior periods in order to assess the reasonableness of observable and unobservable inputs, any assumptions or internal models used to value those securities and changes in fair value. Significant changes in any of these factors could result in lower or higher fair value measurements. Various factors impact the frequency of monitoring (which may occur as often as daily), however the Committee may determine that changes to inputs, assumptions and models are not required with the same frequency.

The Fund’s assets assigned to the Level 2 input category are generally valued using a market approach, in which a security’s value is determined through its correlation to prices and information from observable market transactions for similar or identical assets. Foreign equities are generally valued at the last sale price on the foreign exchange or market on which they trade. The Fund may use a statistical fair valuation model, in accordance with the policy adopted by the Board, 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 investment manager’s experience with similar securities or situations. Factors may include, but are not limited to, trade volume, shares outstanding and stock price.

 

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

Certain common stock classified as Level 3 are valued at fair value, using a market approach, as determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Board. To determine fair value for these securities, for which no market exists, the Committee utilizes the valuation technique it deems most appropriate in the circumstances, using some unobservable inputs, which may include but are not limited to trades of similar securities, estimated earnings of the company, market multiples derived from a set of comparable companies, and the position of the security within the company’s capital structure. Significant increases or decreases to any of these inputs could result in a significantly lower or higher fair value measurement

Fair Value Measurements

 

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments, following the input prioritization hierarchy established by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (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 Valuation Committee (the Committee) of the Fund’s Board of Trustees (the Board) that rely on significant observable inputs are also included in Level 2. Typical Level 3 securities include any security fair valued by the Committee that relies on significant unobservable inputs.

 

Under the direction of the Board, the Committee is responsible for carrying out the valuation procedures approved by the Board.

 

The Committee meets as necessary, and no less frequently than quarterly, to determine fair values for securities for which market quotations are not readily available or for which the investment manager believes that available market quotations are unreliable, to review the appropriateness of the Trust’s Portfolio Pricing Policy and the pricing procedures of the investment manager (the Policies), and to review the continuing appropriateness of the current value of any security subject to the Policies. The Policies address, among other things: circumstances under which market quotations will be deemed readily available; selection of third party pricing vendors; appropriate pricing methodologies; events that require fair valuation and fair value techniques; and circumstances under which securities will be deemed to pose a potential for stale pricing, including when securities are illiquid, restricted, or in default. The Committee may also meet to discuss additional valuation matters, which may include review of back-testing results, review of time-sensitive information or approval of other valuation related actions, and to review the appropriateness of the Policies.

 

For investments categorized as Level 3, the significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Funds’ securities may include: (i) data specific to the issuer or comparable issuers, (ii) general market or specific sector news and (iii) quoted prices and specific or similar security transactions. The Committee considers this data and any changes from prior periods in order to assess the reasonableness of observable and unobservable inputs, any assumptions or internal models used to value those securities and changes in fair value. Significant changes in any of these factors could result in lower or higher fair value measurements. Various factors impact the frequency of monitoring (which may occur as often as daily), however the Committee may determine that changes to inputs, assumptions and models are not required with the same frequency.

 

The following table summarizes the inputs used, as of March 31, 2013, in valuing the Fund’s assets:

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

 

The fund does not hold any significant investments categorized as Level 3.

 

Certain common stock classified as Level 3 are valued at fair value, using a market approach, as determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Board. To determine fair value for these securities, for which no market exists, the Committee utilizes the valuation technique it deems most appropriate in the circumstances, using some unobservable inputs, which may include but are not limited to trades of similar securities, estimated earnings of the company, market multiples derived from a set of comparable companies, and the position of the security within the company’s capital structure. Significant increases or decreases to any of these inputs could result in a significantly lower or higher fair value measurement.

Fair Value Measurements

 

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments, following the input prioritization hierarchy established by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (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 Valuation Committee (the Committee) of the Fund’s Board of Trustees (the Board) that rely on significant observable inputs are also included in Level 2. Typical Level 3 securities include any security fair valued by the Committee that relies on significant unobservable inputs.

 

Under the direction of the Board, the Committee is responsible for carrying out the valuation procedures approved by the Board.

 

The Committee meets as necessary, and no less frequently than quarterly, to determine fair values for securities for which market quotations are not readily available or for which the investment manager believes that available market quotations are unreliable, to review the appropriateness of the Trust’s Portfolio Pricing Policy and the pricing procedures of the investment manager (the Policies), and to review the continuing appropriateness of the current value of any security subject to the Policies. The Policies address, among other things: circumstances under which market quotations will be deemed readily available; selection of third party pricing vendors; appropriate pricing methodologies; events that require fair valuation and fair value techniques; and circumstances under which securities will be deemed to pose a potential for stale pricing, including when securities are illiquid, restricted, or in default. The Committee may also meet to discuss additional valuation matters, which may include review of back-testing results, review of time-sensitive information or approval of other valuation related actions, and to review the appropriateness of the Policies.

 


 


 

> Notes to Statement of Investments

 

For investments categorized as Level 3, the significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Funds’ securities may include: (i) data specific to the issuer or comparable issuers, (ii) general market or specific sector news and (iii) quoted prices and specific or similar security transactions. The Committee considers this data and any changes from prior periods in order to assess the reasonableness of observable and unobservable inputs, any assumptions or internal models used to value those securities and changes in fair value. Significant changes in any of these factors could result in lower or higher fair value measurements. Various factors impact the frequency of monitoring (which may occur as often as daily), however the Committee may determine that changes to inputs, assumptions and models are not required with the same frequency.

The Fund’s assets assigned to the Level 2 input category are generally valued using a market approach, in which a security’s value is determined through its correlation to prices and information from observable market transactions for similar or identical assets. Foreign equities are generally valued at the last sale price on the foreign exchange or market on which they trade. The Fund may use a statistical fair valuation model, in accordance with the policy adopted by the Board, 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 investment manager’s experience with similar securities or situations. Factors may include, but are not limited to, trade volume, shares outstanding and stock price.

 

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

 

The Fund does not hold any significant investments categorized as Level 3.

 

Certain common stock classified as Level 3 are valued at fair value, using a market approach, as determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Board. To determine fair value for these securities, for which no market exists, the Committee utilizes the valuation technique it deems most appropriate in the circumstances, using some unobservable inputs, which may include but are not limited to trades of similar securities, estimated earnings of the company, market multiples derived from a set of comparable companies, and the position of the security within the company’s capital structure. Significant increases or decreases to any of these inputs could result in a significantly lower or higher fair value measurement.

Fair Value Measurements

 

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments, following the input prioritization hierarchy established by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (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 Valuation Committee (the Committee) of the Fund’s Board of Trustees (the Board) that rely on significant observable inputs are also included in Level 2. Typical Level 3 securities include any security fair valued by the Committee that relies on significant unobservable inputs.

 

Under the direction of the Board, the Committee is responsible for carrying out the valuation procedures approved by the Board.

 

The Committee meets as necessary, and no less frequently than quarterly, to determine fair values for securities for which market quotations are not readily available or for which the investment manager believes that available market quotations are unreliable, to review the appropriateness of the Trust’s Portfolio Pricing Policy and the pricing procedures of the investment manager (the Policies), and to review the continuing appropriateness of the current value of any security subject to the Policies. The Policies address, among other things: circumstances under which market quotations will be deemed readily available; selection of third party pricing vendors; appropriate pricing methodologies; events that require fair valuation and fair value techniques; and circumstances under which securities will be deemed to pose a potential for stale pricing, including when securities are illiquid, restricted, or in default. The Committee may also meet to discuss additional valuation matters, which may include review of back-testing results, review of time-sensitive information or approval of other valuation related actions, and to review the appropriateness of the Policies.

 

For investments categorized as Level 3, the significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Funds’ securities may include: (i) data specific to the issuer or comparable issuers, (ii) general market or specific sector news and (iii) quoted prices and specific or similar security transactions. The Committee considers this data and any changes from prior periods in order to assess the reasonableness of observable and unobservable inputs, any assumptions or internal models used to value those securities and changes in fair value. Significant changes in any of these factors could result in lower or higher fair value measurements. Various factors impact the frequency of monitoring (which may occur as often as daily), however the Committee may determine that changes to inputs, assumptions and models are not required with the same frequency.

The Fund’s assets assigned to the Level 2 input category are generally valued using a market approach, in which a security’s value is determined through its correlation to prices and information from observable market transactions for similar or identical assets. Foreign equities are generally valued at the last sale price on the foreign exchange or market on which they trade. The Fund may use a statistical fair valuation model, in accordance with the policy adopted by the Board, 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 investment manager’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 stock using a model, based on Black Scholes. Securities which have halted or temporarily stopped trading are valued at the last sale and adjusted by a premium or a discount to account for the anticipated re-opening price. These adjustments are determined by the investment manager’s experience with similar securities or situations.

 

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

Certain common stock classified as Level 3 are valued at fair value, using a market approach, as determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Board. To determine fair value for these securities, for which no market exists, the Committee utilizes the valuation technique it deems most appropriate in the circumstances, using some unobservable inputs, which may include but are not limited to trades of similar securities, estimated earnings of the company, market multiples derived from a set of comparable companies, and the position of the security within the company’s capital structure. Significant increases or decreases to any of these inputs could result in a significantly lower or higher fair value measurement.

Fair Value Measurements

 

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments, following the input prioritization hierarchy established by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (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 mutual funds whose NAVs are published each day.

 

Under the direction of the Board, the Committee is responsible for carrying out the valuation procedures approved by the Board.

 

The Committee meets as necessary, and no less frequently than quarterly, to determine fair values for securities for which market quotations are not readily available or for which the investment manager believes that available market quotations are unreliable, to review the appropriateness of the Trust’s Portfolio Pricing Policy and the pricing procedures of the investment manager (the Policies), and to review the continuing appropriateness of the current value of any security subject to the Policies. The Policies address, among other things: circumstances under which market quotations will be deemed readily available; selection of third party pricing vendors; appropriate pricing methodologies; events that require fair valuation and fair value techniques; and circumstances under which securities will be deemed to pose a potential for stale pricing, including when securities are illiquid, restricted, or in default. The Committee may also meet to discuss additional valuation matters, which may include review of back-testing results, review of time-sensitive information or approval of other valuation related actions, and to review the appropriateness of the Policies.

 



 

> Notes to Statement of Investments

 

For investments categorized as Level 3, the significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Funds’ securities may include: (i) data specific to the issuer or comparable issuers, (ii) general market or specific sector news and (iii) quoted prices and specific or similar security transactions. The Committee considers this data and any changes from prior periods in order to assess the reasonableness of observable and unobservable inputs, any assumptions or internal models used to value those securities and changes in fair value. Significant changes in any of these factors could result in lower or higher fair value measurements. Various factors impact the frequency of monitoring (which may occur as often as daily), however the Committee may determine that changes to inputs, assumptions and models are not required with the same frequency.

 

The following table summarizes the inputs used, as of March 31, 2013, in valuing the Fund’s assets:

Fair Value Measurements

 

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments, following the input prioritization hierarchy established by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (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

Additionally, securities fair valued by the Valuation Committee (the Committee) of the Fund’s Board of Trustees (the Board) that rely on significant observable inputs are also included in Level 2. Typical Level 3 securities include any security fair valued by the Committee that relies on significant unobservable inputs.

 

Under the direction of the Board, the Committee is responsible for carrying out the valuation procedures approved by the Board.

 

The Committee meets as necessary, and no less frequently than quarterly, to determine fair values for securities for which market quotations are not readily available or for which the investment manager believes that available market quotations are unreliable, to review the appropriateness of the Trust’s Portfolio Pricing Policy and the pricing procedures of the investment manager (the Policies), and to review the continuing appropriateness of the current value of any security subject to the Policies. The Policies address, among other things: circumstances under which market quotations will be deemed readily available; selection of third party pricing vendors; appropriate pricing methodologies; events that require fair valuation and fair value techniques; and circumstances under which securities will be deemed to pose a potential for stale pricing, including when securities are illiquid, restricted, or in default. The Committee may also meet to discuss additional valuation matters, which may include review of back-testing results, review of time-sensitive information or approval of other valuation related actions, and to review the appropriateness of the Policies.

 

For investments categorized as Level 3, the significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Funds’ securities may include: (i) data specific to the issuer or comparable issuers, (ii) general market or specific sector news and (iii) quoted prices and specific or similar security transactions. The Committee considers this data and any changes from prior periods in order to assess the reasonableness of observable and unobservable inputs, any assumptions or internal models used to value those securities and changes in fair value. Significant changes in any of these factors could result in lower or higher fair value measurements. Various factors impact the frequency of monitoring (which may occur as often as daily), however the Committee may determine that changes to inputs, assumptions and models are not required with the same frequency.

The Fund’s assets assigned to the Level 2 input category are generally valued using a market approach, in which a security’s value is determined through its correlation to prices and information from observable market transactions for similar or identical assets. Foreign equities are generally valued at the last sale price on the foreign exchange or market on which they trade. The Fund may use a statistical fair valuation model, in accordance with the policy adopted by the Board, 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.

 

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

Fair Value Measurements

 

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments, following the input prioritization hierarchy established by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (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 Valuation Committee (the Committee) of the Fund’s Board of Trustees (the Board) that rely on significant observable inputs are also included in Level 2. Typical Level 3 securities include any security fair valued by the Committee that relies on significant unobservable inputs.

 

Under the direction of the Board, the Committee is responsible for carrying out the valuation procedures approved by the Board.

 

The Committee meets as necessary, and no less frequently than quarterly, to determine fair values for securities for which market quotations are not readily available or for which the investment manager believes that available market quotations are unreliable, to review the appropriateness of the Trust’s Portfolio Pricing Policy and the pricing procedures of the investment manager (the Policies), and to review the continuing appropriateness of the current value of any security subject to the Policies. The Policies address, among other things: circumstances under which market quotations will be deemed readily available; selection of third party pricing vendors; appropriate pricing methodologies; events that require fair valuation and fair value techniques; and circumstances under which securities will be deemed to pose a potential for stale pricing, including when securities are illiquid, restricted, or in default. The Committee may also meet to discuss additional valuation matters, which may include review of back-testing results, review of time-sensitive information or approval of other valuation related actions, and to review the appropriateness of the Policies.

 

For investments categorized as Level 3, the significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Funds’ securities may include: (i) data specific to the issuer or comparable issuers, (ii) general market or specific sector news and (iii) quoted prices and specific or similar security transactions. The Committee considers this data and any changes from prior periods in order to assess the reasonableness of observable and unobservable inputs, any assumptions or internal models used to value those securities and changes in fair value. Significant changes in any of these factors could result in lower or higher fair value measurements. Various factors impact the frequency of monitoring (which may occur as often as daily), however the Committee may determine that changes to inputs, assumptions and models are not required with the same frequency.
