() | Fund securities and other investments are valued at market value based on market quotations obtained or determined by independent pricing services recommended by the adviser and approved by the Board of Trustees. Fund securities and other investments for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the adviser pursuant to procedures approved by the Board of Trustees, as described below. Market value is determined as follows: |
Equity securities (including closed-end investment companies and exchange-traded funds) are valued at the last sale price quoted on the exchange or market where traded most extensively or, if there is no reported sale during the day, the closing bid quotation as reported by an independent pricing service. 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 an NOCP, at the most recent bid quotations on the applicable NASDAQ Market.
In some foreign markets, an official close price and a last sale price may be available from the foreign exchange or market. In those cases, the official close price is used.
Debt securities and unlisted equity securities are valued based on evaluated bids furnished to the Fund by an independent pricing service using market information, transactions for comparable securities and various relationships between securities, if available, or bid prices obtained from broker-dealers.
Broker-dealer bid prices may 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.
Fund securities and other investments for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the adviser pursuant to procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. The Fund may also value securities and other investments at fair value in other circumstances such as when extraordinary events occur after the close of a foreign market but prior to the close of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). This may include situations relating to a single issuer (such as a declaration of bankruptcy or a delisting of the issuers security from the primary market on which it has traded) as well as events affecting the securities markets in general (such as market disruptions or closings and significant fluctuations in U.S. and/or foreign markets). When fair valuing its securities or other investments, the Fund may, among other things, use modeling tools or other processes that may take into account factors such as securities or other market activity and/or significant events that occur after the close of the foreign market and before the time the Funds net asset value (NAV) is calculated. Fair value pricing may require subjective determinations about the value of a security, and fair values used to determine the Funds NAV may differ from quoted or published prices, or from prices that are used by others, for the same securities. In addition, the use of fair value pricing may not always result in adjustments to the prices of securities held by the Fund.
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 that will be made at the end of the Funds 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 February 28, 2015, the net unrealized appreciation on investments based on a cost of $30,041,672 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 |

(b) | All of this security has been designated to cover the Funds obligations under open outstanding options. |
(c) | A portion of this security has been pledged as collateral for outstanding options. |
(d) | Non-income producing security. |
(e) | Perpetual bond with no specified maturity date. |
(f) | Illiquid security. At February 28, 2015, the value of these securities amounted to $171,375 or 0.5% of net assets. Illiquid securities are deemed to be fair valued pursuant to the Funds pricing policies and procedures. |
(g) | The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements, under the terms of a Master Repurchase Agreement, under which the Fund acquires securities as collateral and agrees to resell the securities at an agreed upon time and at an agreed upon price. It is the Funds 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 the Funds ability to dispose of the underlying securities. As of February 28, 2015, the Fund had an investment in a repurchase agreement for which the value of the related collateral exceeded the value of the repurchase agreement. |
(h) | The Funds investment strategy makes use of 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 commissions, 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 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.
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 February 28, 2015, the value of Rule 144A holdings amounted to $360,750 or 1.1% of net assets. |
ADR | An American Depositary Receipt is a certificate issued by a custodian bank representing the right to receive securities of the foreign issuer described. The values of ADRs may be significantly influenced by trading on exchanges not located in the United States. |

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 Funds 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 Funds 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 Funds investments as of February 28, 2015, 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 contacts.
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, written call options and written put options for investment purposes. During the period ended February 28, 2015, 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 February 28, 2015:

The Funds derivatives do not qualify for hedge accounting under authoritative guidance for derivative instruments. The Funds investments in derivatives may represent an economic hedge; however, they are considered to be non-hedge transactions for the purpose of this disclosure.
Counterparty risk is managed based on policies and procedures established by the Funds adviser. Credit risk still exists with respect to initial margin/collateral that is pledged to the broker. In the event that a broker becomes insolvent or goes into bankruptcy and at that time there is a shortfall in the aggregate amount of margin held by (or on behalf of) the broker for all its clients, U.S. bankruptcy laws may allocate that shortfall on a pro rata basis across all of the brokers customers, potentially resulting in losses to the Fund. The maximum amount of loss due to credit risk that, based on the gross fair value of the financial instrument, the Fund would incur if parties to the relevant financial instruments failed completely to perform according to the terms of the contracts and the collateral or other security, if any, for the amount due proved to be of no value to the Fund, as of February 28, 2015, is $286,451.

() | Fund securities and other investments are valued at market value based on market quotations obtained or determined by independent pricing services recommended by the adviser and approved by the Board of Trustees. Fund securities and other investments for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the adviser pursuant to procedures approved by the Board of Trustees, as described below. Market value is determined as follows: |
Debt securities and unlisted equity securities are valued based on evaluated bids furnished to the Fund by an independent pricing service using market information, transactions for comparable securities and various relationships between securities, if available, or bid prices obtained from broker-dealers.
Senior loans are valued at bid prices supplied by an independent pricing service, if available.
Equity securities (including closed-end investment companies and exchange-traded funds) are valued at the last sale price quoted on the exchange or market where traded most extensively or, if there is no reported sale during the day, the closing bid quotation as reported by an independent pricing service. 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 an NOCP, at the most recent bid quotations on the applicable NASDAQ Market.
In some foreign markets, an official close price and a last sale price may be available from the foreign exchange or market. In those cases, the official close price is used.
Broker-dealer bid prices may 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 (including options on exchange-traded funds) are valued at the mean of the National Best Bid and Offer quotations.
Over-the-counter (OTC) options on exchange-traded funds (ETFs) are valued at the mid price (between the bid price and the ask price) supplied by an independent pricing service, if available. Options on ETFs not priced through an independent pricing service are valued based on quotations obtained from broker-dealers.
Forward foreign currency contracts are valued utilizing interpolated rates determined based on information provided by an independent pricing service.
Futures contracts are valued at the current settlement price on the exchange on which the adviser believes that, over time, they are traded most extensively.
Bilateral credit default swaps are valued based on mid prices (between the bid price and the ask price) supplied by an independent pricing service.
Fund securities and other investments for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the adviser pursuant to procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. The Fund may also value securities and other investments at fair value in other circumstances such as when extraordinary events occur after the close of a foreign market but prior to the close of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). This may include situations relating to a single issuer (such as a declaration of bankruptcy or a delisting of the issuers security from the primary market on which it has traded) as well as events affecting the securities markets in general (such as market disruptions or closings and significant fluctuations in U.S. and/or foreign markets). When fair valuing its securities or other investments, the Fund may, among other things, use modeling tools or other processes that may take into account factors such as securities or other market activity and/or significant events that occur after the close of the foreign market and before the time the Funds net asset value (NAV) is calculated. Fair value pricing may require subjective determinations about the value of a security, and fair values used to determine the Funds NAV may differ from quoted or published prices, or from prices that are used by others, for the same securities. In addition, the use of fair value pricing may not always result in adjustments to the prices of securities held by the Fund.
As of February 28, 2015, approximately 1% of the market value of investments was fair valued pursuant to procedures approved by the Board of Trustees as events occurring after the close of the foreign market were believed to materially affect the value of those securities or options.
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 that will be made at the end of the Funds 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 February 28, 2015, the net unrealized depreciation on investments based on a cost of $31,175,503 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 |

(c) | Variable rate security. Rate as of February 28, 2015 is disclosed. |
(d) | The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements, under the terms of a Master Repurchase Agreement, under which the Fund acquires securities as collateral and agrees to resell the securities at an agreed upon time and at an agreed upon price. It is the Funds 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 the Funds ability to dispose of the underlying securities. As of February 28, 2015, the Fund had an investment in a repurchase agreement for which the value of the related collateral exceeded the value of the repurchase agreement. |
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 February 28, 2015, the value of Rule 144A holdings amounted to $14,909,718 or 47.5% of net assets. |

Swap Agreements
The Fund may enter into credit default swaps. A credit default swap is an agreement between two parties (the protection buyer and protection seller) to exchange the credit risk of an issuer (reference obligation) for a specified time period. The reference obligation may be one or more debt securities or an index of such securities. The Fund may be either the protection buyer or the protection seller. As a protection buyer, the Fund has the ability to hedge the downside risk of an issuer or group of issuers. As a protection seller, the Fund has the ability to gain exposure to an issuer or group of issuers whose bonds are unavailable or in short supply in the cash bond market, as well as realize additional income in the form of fees paid by the protection buyer. The protection buyer is obligated to pay the protection seller a stream of payments (fees) over the term of the contract, provided that no credit event, such as a default or a downgrade in credit rating, occurs on the reference obligation. The Fund may also pay or receive upfront premiums. If a credit event occurs, the protection seller must pay the protection buyer the difference between the agreed upon notional value and market value of the reference obligation. Market value in this case is determined by a facilitated auction whereby a minimum number of allowable broker bids, together with a specified valuation method, are used to calculate the value. The maximum potential amount of undiscounted future payments that the Fund as the protection seller could be required to make under a credit default swap agreement would be an amount equal to the notional amount of the agreement.
An interest rate swap is an agreement with another party to receive or pay interest (e.g., an exchange of fixed rate payments for floating rate payments) to protect themselves from interest rate fluctuations. This type of swap is an agreement that obligates two parties to exchange a series of cash flows at specified intervals based upon or calculated by reference to a specified interest rate(s) for a specified amount. The payment flows are usually netted against each other, with the difference being paid by one party to the other.
Swap agreements are valued daily, and fluctuations in value are recorded as change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on swap agreements. Fees are accrued in accordance with the terms of the agreement and are recorded as fees receivable or payable. When received or paid, fees are recorded as realized gain or loss. Upfront premiums paid or received by the Fund are recorded as an asset or liability, respectively, and are amortized or accreted over the term of the agreement and recorded as realized gain or loss. Payments made or received by the Fund as a result of a credit event or termination of the agreement are recorded as realized gain or loss.
Swap agreements are privately negotiated in the over-the-counter market and may be entered into as a bilateral contract or centrally cleared (centrally cleared swaps). Bilateral swap agreements are traded between counterparties and, as such, are subject to the risk that a party to the agreement will not be able to meet its obligations. In a centrally cleared swap, immediately following execution of the swap agreement, the swap agreement is novated to a central counterparty (the CCP) and the Fund faces the CCP through a broker. Upon entering into a centrally cleared swap, the Fund is required to deposit initial margin with the broker in the form of cash or securities in an amount that varies depending on the size and risk profile of the particular swap. Subsequent payments, known as variation margin, are made or received by the Fund based on the daily change in the value of the centrally cleared swap agreement. For centrally cleared swaps, the Funds counterparty credit risk is reduced as the CCP stands between the Fund and the counterparty. The Fund covers its net obligations under outstanding swap agreements by segregating or earmarking cash or securities.
At February 28, 2015, the Fund had the following open bilateral credit default swap agreements:

^ | Implied credit spreads, represented in absolute terms, serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk and represent the likelihood or risk of default for the credit derivative. The implied credit spread of a particular reference entity reflects the cost of buying/selling protection and may include upfront payments required to be made to enter into the agreement. Wider credit spreads represent a deterioration of the reference entitys credit soundness and a greater likelihood or risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the agreement. |

Forward Foreign Currency Contracts
The Fund may enter into forward foreign currency contracts, including forward foreign cross currency contracts. Contracts to buy generally are used to acquire exposure to foreign currencies, while contracts to sell generally are used to hedge the Funds investments against currency fluctuation. Also, a contract to buy or sell can offset a previous contract. These contracts involve market risk in excess of the unrealized gain or loss. The U.S. dollar value of the currencies the Fund has committed to buy or sell represents the aggregate exposure to each currency the Fund has acquired or hedged through currency contracts outstanding at period end. Gains or losses are recorded for financial statement purposes as unrealized until settlement date. Risks may arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from unanticipated movements in the value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar. Certain contracts may require the movement of cash or securities as collateral for the Funds or counterpartys net obligations under the contracts.

Futures Contracts
The Fund may enter into futures contracts. Futures contracts are agreements between two parties to buy and sell a particular instrument or index for a specified price on a specified future date.
When the Fund enters into a futures contract, it is required to deposit with (or for the benefit of) its broker an amount of cash or short-term high-quality securities as initial margin. As the value of the contract changes, the value of the futures contract position increases or declines. Subsequent payments, known as variation margin, are made or received by the Fund depending on the price fluctuations in the fair value of the contract and the value of cash or securities on deposit with the broker. The aggregate principal amounts of the contracts are not recorded in the financial statements. Realized gain or loss on a futures position is equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed, minus brokerage commissions. When the Fund enters into a futures contract certain risks may arise, such as illiquidity in the futures market, which may limit the Funds ability to close out a futures contract prior to settlement date, and unanticipated movements in the value of securities or interest rates.
Futures contracts are exchange-traded. Exchange-traded futures contracts are standardized 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; however, in the event that a counterparty enters into bankruptcy, the Funds claim against initial/variation margin on deposit with the counterparty may be subject to terms of a final settlement in bankruptcy court.

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 Funds 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 Funds 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 Funds investments as of February 28, 2015, at value:

For the period ended February 28, 2015, there were no transfers among Levels 1, 2 and 3.
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 forward foreign currency contracts, futures contracts and swap agreements.
The Fund seeks to provide high total investment return through a combination of high current income and capital appreciation. The Fund pursues its objective by generally obtaining its long investment exposures through direct cash investments and derivatives and short investment exposures substantially through derivatives, including forward foreign currency contracts, futures contracts, option contracts and swap agreements. During the period ended February 28, 2015, the Fund used forward foreign currency contracts, futures contracts, credit default swap agreements (as a protection seller) and interest rate swap agreements to gain investment exposures in accordance with its objective.
The Fund is subject to the risk that changes in interest rates will affect the value of the Funds investments in fixed income securities. The Fund will be subject to increased interest rate risk to the extent that it invests in fixed-income securities with longer maturities or durations, as compared to investing in fixed-income securities with shorter maturities or durations. The Fund may use futures contracts to hedge against changes in interest rates and to manage duration without having to buy or sell portfolio securities. During the period ended February 28, 2015, the Fund engaged in futures contracts to manage duration.

The Funds derivatives do not qualify for hedge accounting under authoritative guidance for derivative instruments. The Funds investments in derivatives may represent an economic hedge; however, they are considered to be non-hedge transactions for the purpose of this disclosure.
Over-the-counter derivatives, including forward foreign currency contracts and swap agreements, are entered into pursuant to International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. (ISDA) agreements negotiated between the Fund and its counterparties. ISDA agreements typically contain, among other things, terms for the posting of collateral and master netting provisions in the event of a default or other termination event. Collateral is posted by the Fund or the counterparty to the extent of the net mark-to-market exposure to the other party of all open contracts under the agreement, subject to minimum transfer requirements. Master netting provisions allow the Fund and the counterparty, in the event of a default or other termination event, to offset amounts owed by each related to derivative contracts, including any posted collateral, to one net amount payable by either the Fund or the counterparty. The Funds ISDA agreements typically contain provisions that allow a counterparty to terminate open contracts early if the net asset value of the Fund declines beyond a certain threshold. As of February 28, 2015, the fair value of derivative positions subject to these provisions that are in a net liability position by counterparty, and the value of collateral pledged to counterparties for such contracts is as follows:
Counterparty |
Derivatives | Collateral Pledged | ||||||
Citibank, N.A. |
$ | (599,968 | ) | $ | 640,000 | |||
JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. |
(2,492 | ) | | |||||
UBS AG |
(8,300 | ) | |
Timing differences may exist between when contracts under the ISDA agreement are marked-to-market and when collateral moves. The ISDA agreements include tri-party control agreements under which collateral is held for the benefit of the secured party at a third party custodian, State Street Bank.
Counterparty risk is managed based on policies and procedures established by the Funds adviser. Such policies and procedures may include, but are not limited to, minimum counterparty credit rating requirements, monitoring of counterparty credit default swap spreads and posting of collateral. The Funds risk of loss from counterparty credit risk on over-the-counter derivatives is generally limited to the Funds aggregated unrealized gains and the amount of any collateral pledged to the counterparty, which may be offset by any collateral posted to the Fund by the counterparty. ISDA master agreements can help to manage counterparty risk by specifying collateral posting arrangements at pre-arranged exposure levels. Under these ISDA agreements, collateral is routinely transferred if the total net exposure in respect of certain transactions, net of existing collateral already in place, exceeds a specified amount (typically $250,000, depending on the counterparty). With exchange traded derivatives, there is minimal counterparty credit risk to the Fund because the exchanges clearinghouse, as counterparty to these instruments, stands between the buyer and the seller of the contract. Credit risk still exists in exchange traded derivatives with respect to initial and variation margin that is held in a brokers customer accounts. While brokers are required to segregate customer margin from their own assets, in the event that a broker becomes insolvent or goes into bankruptcy and at that time there is a shortfall in the aggregate amount of margin held by the broker for all its clients, U.S. bankruptcy laws will typically allocate that shortfall on a pro rata basis across all of the brokers customers, potentially resulting in losses to the Fund. The following table shows (i) the maximum amount of loss due to credit risk that, based on the gross fair value of the financial instrument, the Fund would incur if parties to the relevant financial instruments failed completely to perform according to the terms of the contracts and the collateral or other security, if any, for the amount due proved to be of no value to the Fund, and (ii) the amount of loss that the Fund would incur after taking into account master netting provisions pursuant to ISDA agreements, as of February 28, 2015:

() | Fund securities and other investments are valued at market value based on market quotations obtained or determined by independent pricing services recommended by the adviser and approved by the Board of Trustees. Fund securities and other investments for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the adviser pursuant to procedures approved by the Board of Trustees, as described below. Market value is determined as follows: |
Senior loans are valued at bid prices supplied by an independent pricing service, if available.
Debt securities and unlisted equity securities are valued based on evaluated bids furnished to the Fund by an independent pricing service using market information, transactions for comparable securities and various relationships between securities, if available, or bid prices obtained from broker-dealers.
Equity securities (including closed-end investment companies and exchange-traded funds) are valued at the last sale price quoted on the exchange or market where traded most extensively or, if there is no reported sale during the day, the closing bid quotation as reported by an independent pricing service. 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 an NOCP, at the most recent bid quotations on the applicable NASDAQ Market.
In some foreign markets, an official close price and a last sale price may be available from the foreign exchange or market. In those cases, the official close price is used.
Broker-dealer bid prices may be used to value debt and equity securities and senior loans 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.
Fund securities and other investments for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the adviser pursuant to procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. The Fund may also value securities and other investments at fair value in other circumstances such as when extraordinary events occur after the close of a foreign market but prior to the close of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). This may include situations relating to a single issuer (such as a declaration of bankruptcy or a delisting of the issuers security from the primary market on which it has traded) as well as events affecting the securities markets in general (such as market disruptions or closings and significant fluctuations in U.S. and/or foreign markets). When fair valuing its securities or other investments, the Fund may, among other things, use modeling tools or other processes that may take into account factors such as securities or other market activity and/or significant events that occur after the close of the foreign market and before the time the Funds net asset value (NAV) is calculated. Fair value pricing may require subjective determinations about the value of a security, and fair values used to determine the Funds NAV may differ from quoted or published prices, or from prices that are used by others, for the same securities. In addition, the use of fair value pricing may not always result in adjustments to the prices of securities held by the Fund.
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 that will be made at the end of the Funds 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 February 28, 2015, the net unrealized depreciation on investments based on a cost of $1,579,310,482 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 |
$ | 5,894,932 | ||
Aggregate gross unrealized depreciation for all investments in which there is an excess of tax cost over value |
(48,451,116 | ) | ||
|
|
|||
Net unrealized depreciation |
$ | (42,556,184 | ) | |
|

At November 30, 2014, the Fund had a short-term capital loss carryforward of $2,266,544 with no expiration date and a long-term capital loss carryforward of $1,942,803 with no expiration date. These amounts may be available to offset future realized capital gains, if any, to the extent provided by regulations.
(b) | Variable rate security. Rate as of February 28, 2015 is disclosed. |
(c) | Position is unsettled. Contract rate was not determined at February 28, 2015 and does not take effect until settlement date. Maturity date is not finalized until settlement date. |
(d) | Variable rate security. Rate shown represents the weighted average rate of underlying contracts at February 28, 2015. |
(e) | Unfunded loan commitment. Represents a contractual obligation for future funding at the option of the Borrower. The Fund receives a stated coupon rate until the borrower draws on the loan commitment, at which time the rate will become the stated rate in the loan agreement. |
(f) | Illiquid security. At February 28, 2015, the value of this security amounted to $5,410,000 or 0.4% of net assets. Illiquid securities are deemed to be fair valued pursuant to the Funds pricing policies and procedures. |
(g) | The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements, under the terms of a Master Repurchase Agreement, under which the Fund acquires securities as collateral and agrees to resell the securities at an agreed upon time and at an agreed upon price. It is the Funds 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 the Funds ability to dispose of the underlying securities. As of February 28, 2015, the Fund had investments in repurchase agreements for which the value of the related collateral exceeded the value of the repurchase agreement. |
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 February 28, 2015, the value of Rule 144A holdings amounted to $139,911,831 or 9.7% 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 Funds 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 Funds 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 Funds investments as of February 28, 2015, at value:

() | Fund securities and other investments are valued at market value based on market quotations obtained or determined by independent pricing services recommended by the adviser and subadviser and approved by the Board of Trustees. Fund securities and other investments for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the adviser or subadviser pursuant to procedures approved by the Board of Trustees, as described below. Market value is determined as follows: |
Equity securities (including closed-end investment companies and exchange-traded funds) are valued at the last sale price quoted on the exchange or market where traded most extensively or, if there is no reported sale during the day, the closing bid quotation as reported by an independent pricing service. 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 an NOCP, at the most recent bid quotations on the applicable NASDAQ Market.
In some foreign markets, an official close price and a last sale price may be available from the foreign exchange or market. In those cases, the official close price is used.
Debt securities and unlisted equity securities are valued based on evaluated bids furnished to the Fund by an independent pricing service using market information, transactions for comparable securities and various relationships between securities, if available, or bid prices obtained from broker-dealers.
Broker-dealer bid prices may 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.
Fund securities and other investments for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the adviser or subadviser pursuant to procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. The Fund may also value securities and other investments at fair value in other circumstances such as when extraordinary events occur after the close of a foreign market but prior to the close of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). This may include situations relating to a single issuer (such as a declaration of bankruptcy or a delisting of the issuers security from the primary market on which it has traded) as well as events affecting the securities markets in general (such as market disruptions or closings and significant fluctuations in U.S. and/or foreign markets). When fair valuing its securities or other investments, the Fund may, among other things, use modeling tools or other processes that may take into account factors such as securities or other market activity and/or significant events that occur after the close of the foreign market and before the time the Funds net asset value (NAV) is calculated. Fair value pricing may require subjective determinations about the value of a security, and fair values used to determine the Funds NAV may differ from quoted or published prices, or from prices that are used by others, for the same securities. In addition, the use of fair value pricing may not always result in adjustments to the prices of securities held by the Fund.
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 that will be made at the end of the Funds fiscal year for tax purposes. Such adjustments are primarily due to wash sales.): |
At February 28, 2015, the net unrealized appreciation on investments based on a cost of $68,619,323 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 |
$ | 9,879,804 | ||
Aggregate gross unrealized depreciation for all investments in which there is an excess of tax cost over value |
(1,089,645 | ) | ||
|
|

Net unrealized appreciation |
$ | 8,790,159 | ||

|
(b) | Non-income producing security. |
(c) | The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements, under the terms of a Master Repurchase Agreement, under which the Fund acquires securities as collateral and agrees to resell the securities at an agreed upon time and at an agreed upon price. It is the Funds 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 the Funds ability to dispose of the underlying securities. As of February 28, 2015, the Fund had an investment in a repurchase agreement for which the value of the related collateral exceeded the value of the repurchase agreement. |
ADR | An American Depositary Receipt is a certificate issued by a custodian bank representing the right to receive securities of the foreign issuer described. The values of ADRs may be significantly influenced by trading on exchanges not located in the United States. |
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 Funds 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 Funds 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 Funds investments as of February 28, 2015, at value:
