Valuation of Investments: 

Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Securities are valued as of the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time) on the valuation date. Securities that trade on an exchange, and securities traded on Nasdaq’s Electronic Bulletin Board, are valued at their last reported sales price or Nasdaq official closing price taken from the primary market in which each security trades or, if no sale is reported for such day, at their highest bid price. Other over-the-counter securities for which market quotations are readily available are valued at their highest bid price, except in the case of some bonds and other fixed income securities which may be valued by reference to other securities with comparable ratings, interest rates and maturities, using established independent pricing services. The Funds value their non-U.S. dollar denominated securities in U.S. dollars daily at the prevailing foreign currency exchange rates as quoted by a major bank. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at their fair value in accordance with the provisions of the 1940 Act, under procedures approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees, and are reported as Level 3 securities. As a general principle, the fair value of a security is the amount which the Fund might reasonably expect to receive for the security upon its current sale. However, in light of the judgment involved in fair valuations, there can be no assurance that a fair value assigned to a particular security will be the amount which the Fund might be able to receive upon its current sale. In addition, if, between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, events occur that are significant and may make the closing price unreliable, a Fund may fair value the security. The Funds use an independent pricing service to provide fair value estimates for relevant non-U.S. equity securities on days when the U.S. market volatility exceeds a certain threshold. This pricing service uses proprietary correlations it has developed between the movement of prices of non-U.S. equity securities and indices of U.S.-traded securities, futures contracts and other indications to estimate the fair value of relevant non-U.S. securities. When fair value pricing is employed, the prices of securities used by a Fund may differ from quoted or published prices for the same security. Investments in money market funds are valued at net asset value per share.

 

Various inputs are used in determining the value of each Fund’s investments, as noted above. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels below: 

Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, foreign securities that may be fair valued and repurchase agreements). The table below includes all Level 2 securities. Level 2 securities with values based on quoted prices for similar securities and foreign securities that were fair valued are noted in the Schedules of Investments.
Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including last trade price before trading was suspended, or at a discount thereto for lack of marketability or otherwise, market price information regarding other securities, information received from the company and/or published documents, including SEC filings and financial statements, or other publicly available information).

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 each Fund’s investments as of September 30, 2021. For a detailed breakout of common stocks by sector classification or country, please refer to the Schedules of Investments.

Repurchase Agreements: 

The Funds may enter into repurchase agreements with institutions that the Funds’ investment adviser has determined are creditworthy. Each Fund restricts repurchase agreements to maturities of no more than seven days. Securities pledged as collateral for repurchase agreements, which are held until maturity of the repurchase agreements, are marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest). Repurchase agreements could involve certain risks in the event of default or insolvency of the counter-party, including possible delays or restrictions upon the ability of each Fund to dispose of its underlying securities. The remaining contractual maturities of repurchase agreements held by the Funds at September 30, 2021 are overnight and continuous.

 

Securities Lending: 

The Funds loan securities through a lending agent, State Street Bank and Trust Company, to qualified institutional investors for the purpose of earning additional income. The lending agent receives and holds collateral from such borrowers to secure their obligations to the Funds. Such loans must be secured at all times by collateral in an amount at least equal to the market value of the loaned securities. The market values of the loaned securities and the collateral fluctuate and are determined at the close of each business day by the lending agent. Borrowers are required to post additional collateral to the lending agent on the next succeeding business day in the event of a collateral shortfall. Counterparty risk is further reduced by loaning securities only to parties that participate in a Global Securities Lending Program organized and monitored by the lending agent and that are deemed by it to satisfy its requirements and by having the lending agent enter into securities lending agreements with such borrowers. The lending agent is not affiliated with Royce.

 

Collateral may be in the form of cash or U.S. Treasuries. Cash collateral is invested in certain money market pooled investment vehicles. The Funds record a liability in their respective Statements of Assets and Liabilities for the return of such cash collateral during periods in which securities are on loan. The Funds bear the risk of loss for any decrease in the market value of the loaned securities or the investments purchased with cash collateral received from the borrowers.

 

Pursuant to the agreement in place between the Funds and the lending agent, if a borrower fails to return loaned securities, and the cash collateral being maintained by the lending agent on behalf of such borrower is insufficient to cover the value of loaned securities and provided such collateral insufficiency is not the result of investment losses, the lending agent shall, at its option, either replace the loaned securities or pay the amount of the shortfall to the Funds. In the event of the bankruptcy of a borrower, the Funds could experience delay in recovering the loaned securities or only recover cash or a security of equivalent value.

 

Loans of securities generally do not have stated maturity dates, and the Funds may recall a security at any time. The Funds’ securities lending income consists of the income earned on investing cash collateral, plus any premium payments received for lending certain securities, less any rebates paid to borrowers and lending agent fees associated with the loan. Pursuant to the agreement in place between the Funds and the lending agent, the Funds are responsible for any shortfall in the event the value of the investments purchased with cash collateral is insufficient to pay the rebate fee to the borrower.

 

The following table presents cash collateral and the market value of securities on loan collateralized by cash collateral held by the Funds at September 30, 2021:
