Security Valuation and Transactions

A Fund’s portfolio securities are valued generally on the basis of market quotations. Equity securities generally are valued at the last reported sales price on the primary market in which they are traded. Portfolio securities listed on NASDAQ are valued using the NASDAQ Official Closing Price, which may not necessarily represent the last sale price. Level 1 securities primarily include publicly-traded equity securities. If no sales occurred on the exchange or NASDAQ that day, the portfolio security generally is valued using the last reported bid price. In those circumstances the Fund classifies the investment securities in Level 2.

Debt securities (other than short-term securities described below) generally are valued at an evaluated bid as reported by an independent pricing service. Values obtained from pricing services are based on various factors such as market transactions, dealer supplied valuations, security characteristics and other market data. These securities are included in Level 2. In the absence of a reliable price from such a pricing service, debt securities may be valued based on dealer supplied valuations or quotations and would be classified in Level 3. A Fund’s written or purchased options are valued at the last sales price, or if no sales occurred that day, at the last reported bid price and are included in Level 2. Short-term investments of sufficient quality with remaining maturities of sixty days or less at the time of purchase are valued on the basis of amortized costs, which approximates market value and these are also included in Level 2.

All assets and liabilities of the Funds initially expressed in foreign currency values will be converted into U.S. dollars at the WM/Reuter exchange rate computed at 11:00 a.m., Eastern time.

If prices are not readily available for a portfolio security, or if it is believed that a price for a portfolio security does not represent its fair value, the security may be valued using procedures approved by the Funds’ Board of Trustees that are designed to establish its “fair” value. These securities would be classified in Level 3.

Foreign securities may be valued with the assistance of an independent fair value pricing service in circumstances where it is believed that they have been or would be materially affected by events occurring after the close of the portfolio security's primary market and before the close of regular trading on the NYSE. In those circumstances the Fund classifies the investment securities in Level 2. This independent fair value pricing service uses a computerized system to appraise affected securities and portfolios taking into consideration various factors and the fair value of such securities may be something other than the last available quotation or other market price.

GEAM may also separately monitor portfolio securities and, consistent with the Funds’ fair value procedures, apply a different value to a portfolio security than would be applied had it been priced using market quotations or by an independent fair value pricing service. In those circumstances the Fund classifies the investment securities in Level 3.

Determining the fair value of securities involves the application of both subjective and objective considerations. Security values may differ depending on the methodology used to determine their values, and may differ from the last quoted sale or closing price. No assurance can be given that use of these fair value procedures will always better represent the price at which a Fund could sell the affected portfolio security.

Security transactions are accounted for as of the trade date. Realized gains and losses on investments sold are recorded on the basis of identified cost for both financial statement and federal tax purposes.

Fair Value Disclosure

The Funds adopted ASC 820, Fair Valuation Measurements and Disclosures effective October 2008, for all financial instruments accounted for at fair value.

For financial assets and liabilities, fair value is the price the Funds would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction with a market participant at the measurement date. In the absence of active markets for the identical assets or liabilities, such measurements involve developing assumptions based on market observable data and, in the absence of such data internal information that is consistent with what market participants would use in a hypothetical transaction that occurs at the measurement date.


Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect our market assumptions. Preference is given to observable inputs. These two types of inputs create the following fair value hierarchy:

Level 1—Quoted prices for identical investments in active markets.

Level 2—Quoted prices for similar investments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar investments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable.

Level 3—Significant inputs to the valuation model are unobservable.

Other financial instruments are derivative instruments that are not reflected in Total Investments, such as futures, forwards, swaps, and written options contracts, which are valued based on the unrealized appreciation/depreciation of the instrument.

The following tables present the Funds’ investments measured at fair value on a recurring basis at September 30, 2010:
