Security Valuations

 

Security valuations for fund investments are furnished by independent pricing services that have been approved by the Fund’s Board of Directors (the Board). Investments in equity securities listed on an original exchange are stated at the last quoted sales price if readily available for such securities on each business day. Other equity securities traded in the over-the-counter market and listed equity securities for which no sale was reported on that date are stated at the last quoted bid price. Debt obligations with 60 days or less remaining until maturity may be valued at their amortized cost, which approximates market.

 

Securities for which prices are not available from an independent pricing service, but where an active market exists, are valued using market quotations obtained from one or more dealers that make markets in the securities or from a widely used quotation system. When market quotations are not readily available, or where the last quoted sale price is not considered representative of the value of the security if it were to be sold on that day, the security will be valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Fair Valuation Committee appointed by the Board, pursuant to procedures approved by the Board. Factors that may be considered in determining the fair value of a security are fundamental analytical data relating to the security; the nature and duration of any restrictions on the disposition of the security; and the forces influencing the market in which the security is purchased or sold. As of September 30, 2009, no securities in the Fund were valued using this method.

 

In preparing this financial statement, the Fund has evaluated events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure through November 25, 2009, the date the financial statement was available to be issued.

 

Valuation Measurements

 

The Fund has adopted authoritative fair valuation accounting standards which establish an authoritative definition of fair value and set out a hierarchy for measuring fair value.  These standards require additional disclosures about the various inputs and valuation techniques used to develop the measurements of fair value and a discussion in changes in valuation techniques and related inputs during the period.  These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

 

·                  Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.

 

·                  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 net assets as of September 30, 2009:
