(1)   Credit spreads are an indication of the seller’s performance risk, related to the likelihood of a credit event occurring that would require a seller to make payment to a buyer. Credit spreads are used to determine the value of swap contracts and reflect the cost of buying/selling protection, which may include upfront payments made to enter into the contract.

The Fund has a three-tier fair value hierarchy. The basis of the tiers is dependent upon the various “inputs” used to determine 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 assets
       
Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
       
Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
       
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
       
The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s investments and other financial instruments and liabilities as of June 30, 2015

(1) Credit spreads are an indication of the seller’s performance risk, related to the likelihood of a credit event occurring that would require a seller to make payment to a buyer. Credit spreads are used to determine the value of swap contracts and reflect the cost of buying/selling protection, which may include upfront payments made to enter into the contract.

ABSOLUTE STRATEGIES FUND
NOTES TO SCHEDULES OF INVESTMENTS, SECURITIES SOLD SHORT AND CALL AND PUT OPTIONS WRITTEN (Unaudited)
JUNE 30, 2015
 
Fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
 
Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical assets
 
Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
 
Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
 
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
 
The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s investments and other financial instruments and liabilities as of June 30, 2015.

The Fund has a three-tier fair value hierarchy. The basis of the tiers is dependent upon the various “inputs” used to determine 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 assets
 
Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
 
Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
 
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
 
The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s investments and other financial instruments and liabilities as of June 30, 2015.

The Fund has a three-tier fair value hierarchy. The basis of the tiers is dependent upon the various “inputs” used to determine 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 assets
 
Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
 
Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
 
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
 
The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s investments as of June 30, 2015.

The Fund has a three-tier fair value hierarchy. The basis of the tiers is dependent upon the various “inputs” used to determine 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 assets
Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s investments and liabilities as of June 30, 2015.

The Fund has a three-tier fair value hierarchy. The basis of the tiers is dependent upon the various “inputs” used to determine 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 assets
Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

The Fund has a three-tier fair value hierarchy. The basis of the tiers is dependent upon the various “inputs” used to determine 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 assets
 
Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
 
Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
 
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
 
The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s investments and other financial instruments as of June 30, 2015.

The Fund has a three-tier fair value hierarchy. The basis of the tiers is dependent upon the various “inputs” used to determine 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 assets
                                 
Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
                             
Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
                             
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
                             
The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s investments and other financial instruments as of June 30, 2015.
