(‡) Principal Amount stated in U.S. dollars unless otherwise noted.
(†) Equity securities, including shares of closed-end investment companies and exchange-traded funds, for which market quotations are readily available are valued at market value, as reported by independent pricing services recommended by the investment adviser and approved by the Board of Trustees. Such independent pricing services generally use the security’s last sale price on the exchange or market where the security is primarily traded or, if there is no reported sale during the day, the closing bid price. Securities traded on the NASDAQ Global Select Market, NASDAQ Global Market and NASDAQ Capital Market are valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price (“NOCP”), or if lacking a NOCP, at the most recent bid quotation on the applicable NASDAQ Market.

Debt securities (other than short-term obligations purchased with an original or remaining maturity of sixty days or less) and unlisted equity securities are generally valued on the basis of evaluated bids furnished to the Fund by an independent pricing service recommended by the investment adviser and approved by the Board of Trustees, which service determines valuations for normal, institutional-size trading units of such securities using market information, transactions for comparable securities and various relationships between securities which are generally recognized by institutional traders.

Broker-dealer bid prices may also be used to value debt and equity securities where an independent pricing service is unable to price a security or where an independent pricing service does not provide a reliable price for the security.

Domestic exchange-traded single equity option contracts are valued at the mean of the National Best Bid and Offer quotations.

Short-term obligations purchased with an original or remaining maturity of sixty days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.

Securities for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Fund’s investment adviser under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees.

The Fund may hold securities traded in foreign markets. Foreign securities are valued at the closing market price in the foreign market. However, if events occurring after the close of the foreign market (but before the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange) are believed to materially affect the value of those securities, such securities are fair valued on a daily basis pursuant to procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. When fair valuing securities, the Fund may, among other things, use modeling tools or other processes that may take into account factors such as securities market activity and/or significant events that occur after the close of the foreign market and before the Fund calculates its net asset value.

The books and records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. The values of securities, currencies and other assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars are translated into U.S. dollars based upon foreign exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period.

 

(a) Federal Tax Information (Amounts exclude certain adjustments made at the end of the Fund’s fiscal year for tax purposes. Such adjustments are primarily due to wash sales. Amortization of premium on debt securities is excluded for tax purposes.):

At August 31, 2013, the net unrealized appreciation on investments based on a cost of $21,500,658 for federal income tax purposes was as follows:

 

Aggregate gross unrealized appreciation for all investments in which there is an excess of value over tax cost

   $ 3,098,265   

Aggregate gross unrealized depreciation for all investments in which there is an excess of tax cost over value

     (332,631
  

 

 

 

Net unrealized appreciation

   $ 2,765,634   
  

 

 

 

 

(b) Non-income producing security.
(c) All or a portion of this security has been pledged as collateral for outstanding options.
(d) All or a portion of this security has been designated to cover the Fund’s obligations under open outstanding options.
(e) Illiquid security. At August 31, 2013, the value of these securities amounted to $190,875 or 0.8% of net assets.


(f) The Fund may enter into option contracts. When the Fund purchases an option, it pays a premium and the option is subsequently marked to market to reflect current value. Premiums paid for purchasing options which expire are treated as realized losses. Premiums paid for purchasing options which are exercised are added to the cost or deducted from the proceeds on the underlying instrument to determine the realized gain or loss. If the Fund enters into a closing sale transaction, the difference between the premium paid and the proceeds of the closing sale transaction is treated as a realized gain or loss. The risk associated with purchasing options is limited to the premium paid.

When the Fund writes an option, an amount equal to the net premium received (the premium less commission) is recorded as a liability and is subsequently adjusted to the current value. Net premiums received for written options which expire are treated as realized gains. Net premiums received for written options which are exercised are deducted from the cost or added to the proceeds on the underlying instrument to determine the realized gain or loss. If the Fund enters into a closing purchase transaction, the difference between the net premium received and any amount paid on effecting a closing purchase transaction, including commission, is treated as a realized gain or, if the net premium received is less than the amount paid, as a realized loss. The Fund, as writer of a written option, bears the risk of an unfavorable change in the market value of the instrument underlying the written option.

Exchange-traded options contracts are standardized contracts and are settled through a clearing house with fulfillment supported by the credit of the exchange. Therefore, counterparty credit risks to the Fund are reduced. Over-the-counter options are subject to the risk that the counterparty is unable or unwilling to meet its obligations under the option. For the period ended August 31, 2013, the Fund was not party to any over-the-counter options.

 

(g) It is the Fund’s policy that the market value of the collateral for repurchase agreements be at least equal to 102% of the repurchase price, including interest. Certain repurchase agreements are tri-party arrangements whereby the collateral is held in a segregated account for the benefit of the Fund and on behalf of the counterparty. Repurchase agreements could involve certain risks in the event of default or insolvency of the counterparty including possible delays or restrictions upon a Fund’s ability to dispose of the underlying securities.

 

144A All or a portion of these securities are exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933. These securities may be resold in transactions exempt from registration, normally to qualified institutional buyers. At August 31, 2013, the value of Rule 144A holdings amounted to $711,750 or 2.9% of net assets.

Fair Value Measurements

In accordance with accounting standards related to fair value measurements and disclosures, the Fund has categorized the inputs utilized in determining the value of the Fund’s assets or liabilities. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

•Level 1—quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

•Level 2—prices determined using other significant inputs that are observable either directly, or indirectly through corroboration with observable market data (which could include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, interest rates, credit risk, etc.); and

•Level 3—prices determined using significant unobservable inputs when quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable such as when there is little or no market activity for an asset or liability (unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of assets or liabilities and would be based on the best information available).

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 August 31, 2013, at value:

Derivatives

Derivative instruments are defined as financial instruments whose value and performance are based on the value and performance of another security or financial instrument. Derivative instruments that the Fund used during the period include option contracts.

The Fund is subject to the risk of unpredictable declines in the value of individual equity securities and periods of below average performance in individual securities or in the equity market as a whole. The Fund may use purchased put options and written call options to hedge against a decline in value of an equity security that it owns and may use written put options to offset the cost of options used for hedging purposes. The Fund may also use purchased call options and written put options for investment purposes. During the period ended August 31, 2013, the Fund engaged in written call option transactions for hedging purposes and written put option transactions for investment purposes.

The following is a summary of derivative instruments for the Fund as of August 31, 2013:

(†) Senior loans are priced at bid prices supplied by an independent pricing service recommended by the investment adviser and approved by the Board of Trustees, if available.

Debt securities (other than short-term obligations purchased with an original or remaining maturity of sixty days or less) and unlisted equity securities are generally valued on the basis of evaluated bids furnished to the Fund by an independent pricing service recommended by the investment adviser and approved by the Board of Trustees, which service determines valuations for normal, institutional-size trading units of such securities using market information, transactions for comparable securities and various relationships between securities which are generally recognized by institutional traders.

Broker-dealer bid prices may also be used to value senior loans and debt securities where an independent pricing service is unable to price a security or where an independent pricing service does not provide a reliable price for the security.

Investments in other open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each day.

Short-term obligations purchased with an original or remaining maturity of sixty days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.

Securities for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Fund’s investment adviser under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees.

The Fund may hold securities traded in foreign markets. Foreign securities are valued at the closing market price in the foreign market. However, if events occurring after the close of the foreign market (but before the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange) are believed to materially affect the value of those securities, such securities are fair valued on a daily basis pursuant to procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. When fair valuing securities, the Fund may, among other things, use modeling tools or other processes that may take into account factors such as securities market activity and/or significant events that occur after the close of the foreign market and before the Fund calculates its net asset value.

The books and records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. The values of securities, currencies and other assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars are translated into U.S. dollars based upon foreign exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period.

 

(a) Federal Tax Information (Amounts exclude certain adjustments made at the end of the Fund’s fiscal year for tax purposes. Such adjustments are primarily due to wash sales. Amortization of premium on debt securities is excluded for tax purposes.):

At August 31, 2013, the net unrealized depreciation on investments based on a cost of $1,242,447,468 for federal income tax purposes was as follows:

 

Aggregate gross unrealized appreciation for all investments in which there is an excess of value over tax cost

   $ 4,436,875   

Aggregate gross unrealized depreciation for all investments in which there is an excess of tax cost over value

     (10,023,320
  

 

 

 

Net unrealized depreciation

   $ (5,586,445
  

 

 

 

At November 30, 2012, late-year ordinary and post-October capital loss deferrals were $25,568. This amount may be available to offset future realized capital gains, if any, to the extent provided by regulations.

 

(b) Variable rate security. Rate as of August 31, 2013 is disclosed.
(c) Variable rate security. Rate shown represents the weighted average rate of underlying contracts at August 31, 2013.
(d) Position is unsettled. Contract rate was not determined at August 31, 2013 and does not take effect until settlement date.
(e) All or a portion of interest payment is paid-in-kind.
(f) It is the Fund’s policy that the market value of the collateral for repurchase agreements be at least equal to 102% of the repurchase price, including interest. Certain repurchase agreements are tri-party arrangements whereby the collateral is held in a segregated account for the benefit of the Fund and on behalf of the counterparty. Repurchase agreements could involve certain risks in the event of default or insolvency of the counterparty including possible delays or restrictions upon a Fund’s ability to dispose of the underlying securities.

 

144A All or a portion of these securities are exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933. These securities may be resold in transactions exempt from registration, normally to qualified institutional buyers. At August 31, 2013, the value of Rule 144A holdings amounted to $87,143,070 or 7.4% of net assets.

Fair Value Measurements

In accordance with accounting standards related to fair value measurements and disclosures, the Fund has categorized the inputs utilized in determining the value of the Fund’s assets or liabilities. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

•Level 1—quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

•Level 2—prices determined using other significant inputs that are observable either directly, or indirectly through corroboration with observable market data (which could include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, interest rates, credit risk, etc.); and

•Level 3—prices determined using significant unobservable inputs when quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable such as when there is little or no market activity for an asset or liability (unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of assets or liabilities and would be based on the best information available).

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 August 31, 2013, at value:

(†) Equity securities, including shares of closed-end investment companies and exchange-traded funds, for which market quotations are readily available are valued at market value, as reported by independent pricing services recommended by the investment adviser and subadviser and approved by the Board of Trustees. Such independent pricing services generally use the security’s last sale price on the exchange or market where the security is primarily traded or, if there is no reported sale during the day, the closing bid price. Securities traded on the NASDAQ Global Select Market, NASDAQ Global Market and NASDAQ Capital Market are valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price (“NOCP”), or if lacking a NOCP, at the most recent bid quotation on the applicable NASDAQ Market.

Debt securities (other than short-term obligations purchased with an original or remaining maturity of sixty days or less) and unlisted equity securities are generally valued on the basis of evaluated bids furnished to the Fund by an independent pricing service recommended by the investment adviser and subadviser and approved by the Board of Trustees, which service determines valuations for normal, institutional-size trading units of such securities using market information, transactions for comparable securities and various relationships between securities which are generally recognized by institutional traders.

Broker-dealer bid prices may also be used to value debt and equity securities where an independent pricing service is unable to price a security or where an independent pricing service does not provide a reliable price for the security.

Domestic exchange-traded single equity option contracts are valued at the mean of the National Best Bid and Offer quotations.

Short-term obligations purchased with an original or remaining maturity of sixty days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.

Securities for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Fund’s investment adviser or subadviser under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees.
