Supplemental Information

 

GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) and the Fund’s own market assumptions (unobservable inputs). These inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments and are summarized in the following fair value hierarchy:

 

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. An investment’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input, both individually and in the aggregate, that is significant to the fair value measurement.

 

The following is a summary of the inputs used as of January 31, 2024, in valuing the Fund’s investments in securities:

 

Valuation Inputs  LEVEL 1   LEVEL 2   LEVEL 3   TOTAL 
ASSETS:                    
Investments in Securities:                    
Equity Investments(a)  $331,117,581    -    -   $331,117,581 
Short Term Investments(b)   -   $7,391,178    -   $7,391,178 
Total Investments in Securities  $331,117,581   $7,391,178    -   $338,508,759 

 

(a)For detailed industry descriptions, see the accompanying Schedule of Investments
(b)These assets consist of time deposits and repurchase agreements with maturities of one business day. They are classified as Level 2 solely as a result of the Fund’s valuation technique for short-term investments, using amortized cost which approximates fair value, instead of quoted prices in active markets, and thereby may not present any higher risk than Level 1 assets.

 

The following is a reconciliation of the change in value of Level 3 assets (for which significant unobservable inputs were used to determine fair value):

Securities
Balance as of 10/31/23 $ -
Realized gain (loss)   -
Change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation)   -
Net Purchases (Sales)   -
Transfers in and/or (out) of Level 3 $ -
