Notes to Schedule of Investments:

 

LIBOR - London Interbank Offered Rate

 



 

Portfolio valuation

 

Shares of the underlying funds and other mutual funds are generally valued at their net asset value.

 

Investments held by the underlying funds are valued as follows.  Securities listed on a securities exchange for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price on each business day, or if there is no such reported sale or official closing price, at the most recent quoted bid price, or broker bid (if the private market is more relevant in determining market value than the exchange).  Unlisted securities for which market quotations are readily available are generally valued at the most recent quoted bid price.  Debt instruments with a remaining maturity of sixty days or less are generally valued at amortized cost.  Shares of investment funds are generally valued at their net asset value.  Securities for which quotations are not readily available or whose values the Manager has determined to be unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Trustees or persons acting at their direction pursuant to procedures approved by the Trustees.  Although the goal of fair valuation is to determine the amount the owner of the securities might reasonably expect to receive upon their current sale, because of the uncertainty inherent in fair value pricing, the value determined for a particular security may be materially different than the value realized upon its sale.  For information about the pricing of some specific positions (e.g. swaps) see descriptions below.  Because many foreign equity securities markets and exchanges close prior to the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), closing prices for foreign securities in those markets or on those exchanges do not reflect the events that occur after that close but before the close of the NYSE.  As a result, the Fund generally values foreign equity securities as of the NYSE close using fair value prices, which are based on adjustments to closing prices supplied by a third party vendor using that vendor’s proprietary models.  As of May 31, 2009, 43.62% of the net assets of the Fund, through investments in the underlying funds, were valued using fair value prices based on models used by that third party vendor. Those underlying funds classify such securities under SFAS 157 (as defined below) as level 2.

 

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS 157”). While the adoption of SFAS 157 does not have an effect on the Fund’s net asset value, it does require additional disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 establishes a three-level hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements. The valuation hierarchy is based upon the reliability of inputs to the valuation of the Fund’s investments. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.  The three levels are defined as follows:

 

Level 1 – Valuations based on quoted prices for identical securities in active markets.

 

Level 2 – Valuations determined using other significant direct or indirect observable inputs.

 

Level 3 – Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant.

 

The following is a summary of the categorization of investments by inputs used as of May 31, 2009 in valuing the Fund’s investments:

The Fund held no investments or other financial instruments at either February 28, 2009 or May 31, 2009, whose fair value was determined using level 3 inputs.

 

Foreign currency translation

 

The market values of foreign securities, currency holdings and related assets and liabilities are translated to U.S. dollars based on the 4 p.m. New York time exchange rates each business day.  Income and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the 4 p.m. New York time exchange rates on the business day the income and expenses are accrued or incurred.  The Fund does not isolate realized and unrealized gains and losses attributable to changes in exchange rates from gains and losses that arise from changes in the market value of investments.  Such fluctuations are included with net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments.  Net realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions represent gains and losses on disposition of currencies and forward currency contracts, currency gains and losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amount of investment income and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s accounting records and the U.S. dollar equivalent amounts actually received or paid.

 

Forward currency contracts

 

The Fund may enter into forward currency contracts, including forward cross currency contracts.  A forward currency contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell a currency at a set price on a future date (or to pay or receive the amounts of the change in relative values of the two currencies).  The market value of a forward currency contract fluctuates with changes in forward currency exchange rates.  Forward currency contracts are marked to market daily using rates supplied by a quotation service and changes in value are recorded by the Fund as unrealized gains or losses.  Realized gains or losses on the contracts are 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.  These contracts involve market risk in excess of the unrealized gain or loss.  They expose the Fund to the risk of unfavorable movements in currency values and the risk that the counterparty will be unable or unwilling to meet the terms of the contracts.

 

Futures contracts

 

The Fund may purchase and sell futures contracts.  A futures contract is a contract that obligates the holder to buy or sell an asset at a predetermined delivery price during a specified future time period.  Some futures contracts are net (cash) settled. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to deposit cash, U.S. government and agency obligations, or other liquid assets with the futures clearing broker in accordance with the initial margin requirements of the broker or exchange.  Futures contracts are marked to market daily and an appropriate payable or receivable for the change in value (“variation margin”) is recorded by the Fund.  The payable or receivable is settled on the following business day.  Gains or losses are recognized but not considered realized until the contracts expire or are closed.  Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of the variation margin.  Under some circumstances, futures exchanges may establish daily limits on the amount that the price of a futures contract can vary from the previous day’s settlement price, thereby effectively preventing liquidation of unfavorable positions.  Losses may arise from changes in the value of the underlying instrument if the Fund is unable to liquidate a futures position due to an illiquid market for the contract, the imposition of price limits or the failure of counterparty to perform under the contract terms.  Futures contracts are generally valued at the settlement price established at the close of business each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded.  Because many foreign exchanges close prior to the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), closing prices for foreign futures in those markets or on those markets or on those exchanges do not reflect the events that occur after that close but before the close of the NYSE. As a result, the Fund generally values foreign futures using fair value prices, which are based on adjustments to closing prices supplied by a third party vendor based on that vendor’s proprietary models.

 

Options

 

The Fund may purchase put and call options.  A call option gives the holder the right to buy an asset; a put option gives the holder the right to sell an asset.  Purchasing options alters the Fund’s exposure to the underlying instrument by, in the case of a call option, entitling the Fund to purchase the underlying instrument at a set price from the writer of the option and, in the case of a put option, entitling the Fund to sell the underlying instrument at a set price to the writer of the option.  The Fund pays a premium for a purchased option.  That premium is disclosed in the Schedule of Investments and is subsequently marked to market to reflect the current value of the option.  Premiums paid for options that expire are treated as realized losses.  Premiums paid for options that are exercised or closed are deducted from the proceeds of the closing transaction to determine the realized gain or loss.  The risk associated with purchasing put and call options is limited to the premium paid.

 

The Fund may write (i.e., sell) call and put options.   Writing options alters the Fund’s exposure to the underlying instrument by, in the case of a call option, obligating the Fund to sell the underlying instrument at a set price to the option-holder and, in the case of a put option, obligating the Fund to purchase the underlying instrument at a set price from the option-holder. In some cases (e.g. index options), settlement will be in cash. When the Fund writes a call or put option, an amount equal to the premium received is recorded as a liability and subsequently marked to market to reflect the current value of the option written.  Premiums received from writing options that expire are

 



 

treated as realized gains.  Premiums received from writing options that are exercised or closed are deducted from the amounts paid on the underlying future, security or currency transaction to determine the realized gain or loss.  The Fund as a writer of an option has no control over whether the underlying future, security or currency may be sold (call) or purchased (put) and as a result bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the future, security or currency underlying the option.  In the event that the Fund writes call or put options without an offsetting exposure (e.g. call options on a security that the Fund does not own), it bears the risk of substantial losses if the price of the underlying asset increases (calls) or decreases (puts) during the term of the option.  Options expose the Fund to the risk the Fund may not be able to enter into a closing transaction because of an illiquid market.

 

The Fund values exchange traded options at the last sale price, or if no sale is reported, the last bid price for options it has purchased and the last ask price for options it has written.  The Fund values options traded over-the-counter using inputs provided by primary pricing sources and industry models.

 

Swap agreements

 

The Fund may enter into various types of swap agreements, including without limitation, swaps on securities and securities indices, interest rate swaps, total return swaps, credit default swaps, variance swaps, commodity swaps, inflation swaps and other types of available swaps.  A swap agreement is an agreement to exchange the return generated by one instrument for the return generated by another instrument.  Some swap contracts are net settled. When entering into a swap agreement, the Fund and/or the swap counterparty may post or receive cash or securities as collateral and will typically post or receive additional collateral as market values change.

 

Interest rate swap agreements involve an exchange by the parties of their respective commitments to pay or right to receive interest, e.g., an exchange of floating rate interest payments for fixed rate interest payments with respect to the notional amount of principal.

 

Total return swap agreements involve a commitment by one party to pay interest to the other party in exchange for a payment to it from the other party based on the return of a reference instrument (e.g., a security or basket of securities), both based on notional amounts. To the extent the return of the reference instrument exceeds or falls short of the interest payments, one party will receive a payment from or make a payment to the other party.

 

In a credit default swap agreement, one party makes payments to another party in exchange for the right to receive a specified return if a credit event occurs with respect to a referenced entity or entities.  Buying credit default protection reduces the buyer’s exposure (or increases negative exposure) in the event of an issuer’s default (e.g., it is intended to reduce risk where a party owns a security issued by or otherwise has exposure to the issuer).  Selling credit default protection subjects the seller to exposure to an issuer’s default or other credit events.  A seller of credit default protection receives payments in return for its obligation to pay the principal amount of a debt security (or other agreed-upon value) to the other party upon the occurrence of a credit event (e.g., issuer default or similar event).  If no credit event occurs, the seller has no payment obligations.  For credit default swap agreements on asset-backed securities, a credit event may be triggered by various events, which may include an issuer’s failure to pay interest or principal, a breach of a material representation or covenant, an agreement by the holders of an asset-backed security to a maturity extension, or a write-down on the collateral underlying the security.  For credit default swap agreements on corporate or sovereign issuers, a credit event may be triggered by such events as the issuer’s bankruptcy, failure to pay interest or principal, repudiation/moratorium or restructuring.

 

Variance swap agreements involve an agreement by two parties to exchange cash flows based on the measured variance (or square of volatility) of a specified underlying asset. One party agrees to exchange a “fixed rate” or strike price payment for the “floating rate” or realized price variance on the underlying asset with respect to the notional amount. At inception, the strike price chosen is generally fixed at a level such that the fair value of the swap is zero. As a result, no money changes hands at the initiation of the contract. At the expiration date, the amount paid by one party to the other is the difference between the realized price variance of the underlying asset and the strike price multiplied by the notional amount. A receiver of the realized price variance would receive a payment when the realized price variance of the underlying asset is greater than the strike price and would make a payment when that variance is less than the strike price. A payer of the realized price variance would make a payment when the realized price variance of the underlying asset is greater than the strike price and would receive a payment when that variance is less than the strike price. This type of agreement is essentially a forward contract on the future realized price variance of the underlying asset.

 

The Fund prices its swap agreements daily using models that may incorporate quotations from market makers and records the change in value, if any, as unrealized gain or loss.  Payments received or made on swap agreements are recorded as realized gain or loss.  Gains or losses are realized upon termination of the swap agreements, or reset dates as appropriate.

 

Swap agreements generally are not traded on financial markets. The values assigned to them may differ significantly from the values that would be realized upon termination, and the differences could be material. Entering into swap agreements involves counterparty credit, legal, and documentation risk that is generally not reflected in the models used to price the swap agreement.  Such risks include the possibility that the party with whom the Fund contracts may default on its obligations to perform or disagree as to the meaning of contractual terms, that the Fund has amounts on deposit in excess of amounts owed by the Fund, or that the collateral the other party posts may be insufficient or not timely received by the Fund.  Specifically, the amount shown as owed to the Fund under a swap agreement is not reduced if there is uncertainty about the counterparty’s willingness or ability to pay.  Credit risk is particularly acute in economic

 



 

environments in which financial services firms are exposed to systemic risks of the type evidenced by the insolvency of Lehman Brothers in 2008 and subsequent market disruptions.

 

Investment risks

 

The Fund is indirectly exposed to all of the risks associated with an investment in the underlying funds, including the risk that the underlying funds in which it invests will not perform as expected.  Some underlying funds may invest directly and/or indirectly in foreign securities.  The Fund is subject to risks involved in investing in foreign securities that are not presented by investments in U.S. securities. These risks may involve adverse political and economic developments, including expropriation and the possible imposition of capital controls or other foreign governmental laws or restrictions. In addition, the securities of some foreign companies and securities markets are less liquid and at times more volatile than securities of comparable U.S. companies and U.S. securities markets.  Also, fluctuations in exchange rates may adversely affect the U.S. dollar value of the Fund’s foreign currency holdings and investments denominated in foreign currency.  The risks described above apply to an even greater extent to investments in emerging countries. The securities markets of emerging countries are generally smaller, less developed, less liquid, and more volatile than the securities markets of the U.S. and developed foreign markets. Additionally, the investment risks associated with an investment in the underlying funds may be greater to the extent that the underlying funds engage in derivative transactions.

 

Among other trading agreements, the Fund is party to International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreements (“ISDA Agreements”) with select counterparties that generally govern over-the-counter derivative transactions entered into by the Fund. The ISDA Master Agreements typically include representations and warranties as well as contractual terms related to collateral, events of default, termination events, and other provisions. Termination events include the decline in the net assets of the Fund below a certain level over a specified period of time and entitle a counterparty to elect to terminate early with respect to some or all the transactions under the ISDA Agreement with that counterparty. Such an election by one or more of the counterparties could have a material adverse impact on the Fund’s operations.  Due to declines in the net assets of the Fund prior to May 31, 2009, one or more counterparties are entitled to terminate early but none has taken such action.

 

Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities–Effective March 1, 2009, the Fund adopted FASB Statement of Financial Standards No. 161 “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS 161”). This standard is an amendment to FASB Statement No. 133 (“FASB 133”), “Accounting for Derivative Instruments” which expands the disclosure requirements of FASB 133 regarding an entity’s derivative instruments and hedging activities.

^^ As the Fund values its derivatives at fair value and recognizes changes in fair value through the statement of operations, it does not qualify for hedge accounting under FASB 133. The Fund’s investments in derivatives may represent an economic hedge; however, they are considered to be non-hedge transactions for the purpose of SFAS 161 disclosure.

Portfolio valuation

 

Shares of the underlying funds and other mutual funds are generally valued at their net asset value.

 

Investments held by the underlying funds are valued as follows.  Securities listed on a securities exchange for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price on each business day, or if there is no such reported sale or official closing price, at the most recent quoted bid price, or broker bid (if the private market is more relevant in determining market value than the exchange).  Unlisted securities for which market quotations are readily available are generally valued at the most recent quoted bid price.  Debt instruments with a remaining maturity of sixty days or less are generally valued at amortized cost.  Shares of investment funds are generally valued at their net asset value.  Securities for which quotations are not readily available or whose values the Manager has determined to be unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Trustees or persons acting at their direction pursuant to procedures approved by the Trustees.  Although the goal of fair valuation is to determine the amount the owner of the securities might reasonably expect to receive upon their current sale, because of the uncertainty inherent in fair value pricing, the value determined for a particular security may be materially different than the value realized upon its sale. For information about the pricing of some specific positions (e.g. swaps) see descriptions below.

 

Typically the Fund and the underlying funds value debt instruments based on the most recent bid supplied by a single pricing source chosen by the Manager.  The Manager evaluates pricing sources on an ongoing basis, and may change a pricing source at any time.  The Manager normally does not evaluate the prices supplied by pricing sources on a day-to-day basis.  The Manager monitors erratic or unusual movements (including unusual inactivity) in the prices supplied for a security and has discretion to override a price supplied by a source (e.g., by taking a price supplied by another) when it believes that the price supplied is not reliable.  The prices provided by a pricing source may differ from the value that would be realized if the securities were sold, and the differences could be material. In addition, although alternative prices are available for other securities held by the Fund, those alternative sources would not necessarily confirm the security price used by the Fund. Therefore, the existence of those alternative sources does not necessarily provide greater certainty about the prices used by the Fund.  As of May 31, 2009, the total value of securities held directly and indirectly for which no alternative pricing source was available represented 12.24% of the net assets of the Fund.

 

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS 157”). While the adoption of SFAS 157 does not have an effect on the Fund’s net asset value, it does require additional disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 establishes a three-level hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements. The valuation hierarchy is based upon the reliability of inputs to the valuation of the Fund’s investments. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.  The three levels are defined as follows:

 

Level 1 – Valuations based on quoted prices for identical securities in active markets.

 

Level 2 – Valuations determined using other significant direct or indirect observable inputs.

 

Level 3 – Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant.

 

The following is a summary of the categorization of investments by inputs used as of May 31, 2009 in valuing the Fund’s investments:

Underlying funds are classified above as either level 1 or level 2. For the underlying funds’ summary of valuation inputs (including level 3 inputs, if any) please refer to the respective fund’s portfolio valuation note. The aggregate absolute value of the Fund’s indirect investments in securities and other financial instruments using level 3 inputs were 62.54% and 0.22% of total net assets, respectively.

 

The Fund held no investments or other financial instruments at either February 28, 2009 or May 31, 2009, whose fair value was determined using Level 3 inputs.

 

Foreign currency translation

 

The market values of foreign securities, currency holdings and related assets and liabilities are translated to U.S. dollars based on the 4 p.m. New York time exchange rates each business day.  Income and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the 4 p.m. New York time exchange rates on the business day the income and expenses are accrued or incurred.  The Fund does not isolate realized and unrealized gains and losses attributable to changes in exchange rates from gains and losses that arise from changes in the market value of investments.  Such fluctuations are included with net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments.  Net realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions represent gains and losses on disposition of currencies and forward currency contracts, currency gains and losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amount of investment income and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s accounting records and the U.S. dollar equivalent amounts actually received or paid.

 

Forward currency contracts

 

The Fund may enter into forward currency contracts, including forward cross currency contracts.  A forward currency contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell a currency at a set price on a future date (or to pay or receive the amounts of the change in relative values of the two currencies).  The market value of a forward currency contract fluctuates with changes in forward currency exchange rates.  Forward currency contracts are marked to market daily using rates supplied by a quotation service and changes in value are recorded by the Fund as unrealized gains or losses.  Realized gains or losses on the contracts are 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.  These contracts involve market risk in excess of the unrealized gain or loss.  They expose the Fund to the risk of unfavorable movements in currency values and the risk that the counterparty will be unable or unwilling to meet the terms of the contracts.

 

Futures contracts

 

The Fund may purchase and sell futures contracts.  A futures contract is a contract that obligates the holder to buy or sell an asset at a predetermined delivery price during a specified future time period.  Some futures contracts are net (cash) settled. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to deposit cash, U.S. government and agency obligations, or other liquid assets with the futures clearing broker in accordance with the initial margin requirements of the broker or exchange.  Futures contracts are marked to market daily and an appropriate payable or receivable for the change in value (“variation margin”) is recorded by the Fund.  The payable or receivable is settled on the following business day.  Gains or losses are recognized but not considered realized until the contracts expire or are closed.  Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of the variation margin.  Under some circumstances, futures exchanges may establish daily limits on the amount that the price of a futures contract can vary from the previous day’s settlement price, thereby effectively preventing liquidation of unfavorable positions.  Losses may arise from changes in the value of the underlying instrument if the Fund is unable to liquidate a futures position due to an illiquid market for the contract, the imposition of price limits or the failure of counterparty to perform under the contract terms.  Futures contracts are generally valued at the settlement price established at the close of business each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded.

 

Options

 

The Fund may purchase put and call options.  A call option gives the holder the right to buy an asset; a put option gives the holder the right to sell an asset.  Purchasing options alters the Fund’s exposure to the underlying instrument by, in the case of a call option, entitling the Fund to purchase the underlying instrument at a set price from the writer of the option and, in the case of a put option, entitling the Fund to sell the underlying instrument at a set price to the writer of the option.  The Fund pays a premium for a purchased option.  That premium is disclosed in the Schedule of Investments and is subsequently marked to market to reflect the current value of the option.  Premiums paid for options that expire are treated as realized losses.  Premiums paid for options that are exercised or closed are deducted from the proceeds of the closing transaction to determine the realized gain or loss.  The risk associated with purchasing put and call options is limited to the premium paid.

 



 

The Fund may write (i.e., sell) call and put options.   Writing options alters the Fund’s exposure to the underlying instrument by, in the case of a call option, obligating the Fund to sell the underlying instrument at a set price to the option-holder and, in the case of a put option, obligating the Fund to purchase the underlying instrument at a set price from the option-holder. In some cases (e.g. index options), settlement will be in cash. When the Fund writes a call or put option, an amount equal to the premium received is recorded as a liability and subsequently marked to market to reflect the current value of the option written.  Premiums received from writing options that expire are treated as realized gains.  Premiums received from writing options that are exercised or closed are deducted from the amounts paid on the underlying future, security or currency transaction to determine the realized gain or loss.  The Fund as a writer of an option has no control over whether the underlying future, security or currency may be sold (call) or purchased (put) and as a result bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the future, security or currency underlying the option.  In the event that the Fund writes call or put options without an offsetting exposure (e.g. call options on a security that the Fund does not own), it bears the risk of substantial losses if the price of the underlying asset increases (calls) or decreases (puts) during the term of the option.  Options expose the Fund to the risk the Fund may not be able to enter into a closing transaction because of an illiquid market.

 

The Fund values exchange traded options at the last sale price, or if no sale is reported, the last bid price for options it has purchased and the last ask price for options it has written.  The Fund values options traded over-the-counter using inputs provided by primary pricing sources and industry models.

 

Indexed securities

 

The Fund may invest in indexed securities.  Indexed securities are securities whose values and/or coupons are linked to the prices of a specific instrument, group of instruments or financial statistic.

 

Swap agreements

 

The Fund may enter into various types of swap agreements, including without limitation, swaps on securities and securities indices, interest rate swaps, total return swaps, credit default swaps, variance swaps, commodity swaps, inflation swaps and other types of available swaps.  A swap agreement is an agreement to exchange the return generated by one instrument for the return generated by another instrument.  Some swap contracts are net settled. When entering into a swap agreement, the Fund and/or the swap counterparty may post or receive cash or securities as collateral and will typically post or receive additional collateral as market values change.

 

Interest rate swap agreements involve an exchange by the parties of their respective commitments to pay or right to receive interest, e.g., an exchange of floating rate interest payments for fixed rate interest payments with respect to the notional amount of principal.

 

Total return swap agreements involve a commitment by one party to pay interest to the other party in exchange for a payment to it from the other party based on the return of a reference instrument (e.g., a security or basket of securities), both based on notional amounts. To the extent the return of the reference instrument exceeds or falls short of the interest payments, one party will receive a payment from or make a payment to the other party.

 

In a credit default swap agreement, one party makes payments to another party in exchange for the right to receive a specified return if a credit event occurs with respect to a referenced entity or entities.  Buying credit default protection reduces the buyer’s exposure (or increases negative exposure) in the event of an issuer’s default (e.g., it is intended to reduce risk where a party owns a security issued by or otherwise has exposure to the issuer).  Selling credit default protection subjects the seller to exposure to an issuer’s default or other credit events.  A seller of credit default protection receives payments in return for its obligation to pay the principal amount of a debt security (or other agreed-upon value) to the other party upon the occurrence of a credit event (e.g., issuer default or similar event).  If no credit event occurs, the seller has no payment obligations.  For credit default swap agreements on asset-backed securities, a credit event may be triggered by various events, which may include an issuer’s failure to pay interest or principal, a breach of a material representation or covenant, an agreement by the holders of an asset-backed security to a maturity extension, or a write-down on the collateral underlying the security.  For credit default swap agreements on corporate or sovereign issuers, a credit event may be triggered by such events as the issuer’s bankruptcy, failure to pay interest or principal, repudiation/moratorium or restructuring.

 

Variance swap agreements involve an agreement by two parties to exchange cash flows based on the measured variance (or square of volatility) of a specified underlying asset. One party agrees to exchange a “fixed rate” or strike price payment for the “floating rate” or realized price variance on the underlying asset with respect to the notional amount. At inception, the strike price chosen is generally fixed at a level such that the fair value of the swap is zero. As a result, no money changes hands at the initiation of the contract. At the expiration date, the amount paid by one party to the other is the difference between the realized price variance of the underlying asset and the strike price multiplied by the notional amount. A receiver of the realized price variance would receive a payment when the realized price variance of the underlying asset is greater than the strike price and would make a payment when that variance is less than the strike price. A payer of the realized price variance would make a payment when the realized price variance of the underlying asset is greater than the strike price and would receive a payment when that variance is less than the strike price. This type of agreement is essentially a forward contract on the future realized price variance of the underlying asset.

 



 

The Fund prices its swap agreements daily using models that may incorporate quotations from market makers and records the change in value, if any, as unrealized gain or loss.  Payments received or made on swap agreements are recorded as realized gain or loss.  Gains or losses are realized upon termination of the swap agreements, or reset dates as appropriate.

 

Swap agreements generally are not traded on financial markets. The values assigned to them may differ significantly from the values that would be realized upon termination, and the differences could be material. Entering into swap agreements involves counterparty credit, legal, and documentation risk that is generally not reflected in the models used to price the swap agreement.  Such risks include the possibility that the party with whom the Fund contracts may default on its obligations to perform or disagree as to the meaning of contractual terms, that the Fund has amounts on deposit in excess of amounts owed by the Fund, or that the collateral the other party posts may be insufficient or not timely received by the Fund.  Specifically, the amount shown as owed to the Fund under a swap agreement is not reduced if there is uncertainty about the counterparty’s willingness or ability to pay.  Credit risk is particularly acute in economic environments in which financial services firms are exposed to systemic risks of the type evidenced by the insolvency of Lehman Brothers in 2008 and subsequent market disruptions.

The Fund may enter into reverse repurchase agreements.  Under a reverse repurchase agreement the Fund sells portfolio assets subject to an agreement by the Fund to repurchase the same assets at a later date at a fixed price.  Also, if the buyer in a reverse repurchase agreement files for bankruptcy or becomes insolvent, the Fund may be unable to recover the securities it sold and as a result would realize a loss equal to the difference between the value of the securities and the payment it received for them.  This loss would be greater to the extent the buyer paid less than the value of the securities the Fund sold to it (e.g., a buyer may pay $95 for a bond with a market value of $100).  The Fund’s use of proceeds from the sale of its securities may be restricted while the other party or its trustee or receiver determines whether to honor the Fund’s right to repurchase the securities.

 

Investment risks

 

The Fund is subject to risks involved in investing in foreign securities that are not presented by investments in U.S. securities. These risks may involve adverse political and economic developments, including expropriation and the possible imposition of capital controls or other foreign governmental laws or restrictions. In addition, the securities of some foreign companies and securities markets are less liquid and at times may be more volatile than securities of comparable U.S. companies and U.S. securities markets. Also, fluctuations in exchange rates may adversely affect the U.S. dollar value of the Fund’s foreign currency holdings and investments denominated in foreign currency.  The risks described above apply to an even greater extent to investments in emerging countries. The securities markets of emerging countries are generally smaller, less developed, less liquid, and more volatile than the securities markets of the U.S. and developed foreign markets.  Additionally, the investment risks associated with an investment in the underlying funds may be greater to the extent that the underlying funds engage in derivative transactions.

 

The Fund invests (including through investment in underlying funds) in asset-backed securities, which may be backed in whole or in part by many types of assets, including pools of residential and commercial mortgages, automobile loans, educational loans, home equity loans, or credit-card receivables, which bring additional types of market risk.  Asset-backed securities also may be collateralized by the fees earned by service providers. They also may be backed by pools of corporate or sovereign bonds, bank loans made to corporations, or a combination of these bonds and loans (commonly referred to as “collateralized debt obligations”). Payment of interest on asset-backed securities and repayment of principal largely depend on the cash flows generated by the underlying assets backing the securities. The amount of market risk associated with asset-backed securities depends on many factors, including the deal structure (e.g., determination as to the amount of underlying assets or other support needed to produce the cash flows necessary to service interest and make principal payments), the quality of the underlying assets, the level of credit support, if any, provided for the securities, and the credit quality of the credit-support provider, if any.  Asset-backed securities involve risk of loss of principal if obligors of the underlying obligations default in payment of the obligations and the defaulted obligations exceed the credit support. The obligations of issuers (and obligors of underlying assets) also are subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, and other laws affecting the rights and remedies of creditors.  Many asset-backed securities are now rated below investment grade.

 

With the deterioration of worldwide economic and liquidity conditions that became acute in 2008, the markets for asset-backed securities became fractured and uncertainty about the creditworthiness of those securities (and underlying collateral) caused credit spreads (the difference between yields on the asset-backed securities and U.S. Government securities) to widen dramatically. Concurrently, systemic risks of the type evidenced by the insolvency of Lehman Brothers and subsequent market disruptions reduced the ability of financial institutions to make markets in many fixed income securities generally.  These events reduced liquidity for securitized credits and contributed to substantial declines in the value of asset-backed and other fixed income securities. There can be no assurance these conditions will not continue or that they will not deteriorate further. Also, government actions and proposals affecting the terms of underlying home and consumer loans, changes in demand for products (e.g., automobiles) financed by those loans, and the inability of borrowers to refinance existing loans (e.g., sub-prime mortgages), have had, and may continue to have, adverse valuation and liquidity effects on asset-backed securities. There can be no assurance that in the future the market for asset-backed securities will become more liquid.

 



 

The value of an asset-backed security may depend on the servicing of its underlying assets and is, therefore, subject to risks associated with the negligence or defalcation of its servicer. In some circumstances, the mishandling of related documentation also may affect the rights of security holders in and to the underlying collateral. The insolvency of entities that generate receivables or that utilize the assets may result in a decline in the value of the underlying assets, as well as costs and delays.  In addition, asset-backed securities representing diverse sectors (e.g., auto loans, student loans, sub-prime mortgages, and credit-card receivables) have become more highly correlated since the deterioration of worldwide economic and liquidity conditions referred to above. 

 

The Fund uses its cash balance to meet its derivative collateral obligations and for other purposes. There is no assurance that the Fund’s cash balance will be sufficient to meet its collateral obligations arising under its derivatives.  If it is not, the Fund would be required to liquidate other positions. That may include redeeming shares of GMO Short Duration Collateral Fund (“SDCF”) in which case the Fund would receive redemption proceeds in-kind from SDCF and would then be required to dispose of those assets (mostly asset-backed securities) in the current adverse market conditions.  To manage the Fund’s cash collateral needs in the current extraordinary market conditions, the Manager reserves the right to reduce or eliminate the Fund’s derivative exposures, including those that are intended to cause the Fund to track its benchmark more closely. A reduction in those exposures may tend to cause the performance of the Fund to track its benchmark less closely and make the Fund’s performance more dependent on the performance of the asset-backed securities it holds directly or indirectly.

 

To address in part the cash management issues described above, the Fund may effect nearly all significant redemptions of its shares in-kind. If redeeming shareholders from the Fund choose to sell assets received in-kind immediately and current adverse market conditions continue, they may experience difficulty selling the assets at favorable prices.  The Fund may establish de minimis amounts below which redemptions may be honored for cash. Amounts available for cash redemptions could be increased and/or redemption fees could be reduced if conditions in the bond market improve. These amounts can and will change without prior notice.

 

Among other trading agreements, the Fund is party to International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreements (“ISDA Agreements”) with select counterparties that generally govern over-the-counter derivative transactions entered into by the Fund. The ISDA Master Agreements typically include representations and warranties as well as contractual terms related to collateral, events of default, termination events, and other provisions. Termination events include the decline in the net assets of the Fund below a certain level over a specified period of time and entitle a counterparty to elect to terminate early with respect to some or all the transactions under the ISDA Agreement with that counterparty. Such an election by one or more of the counterparties could have a material adverse impact on the Fund’s operations.  Due to declines in the net assets of the Fund prior to May 31, 2009, one or more counterparties are entitled to terminate early but none has taken such action.

 

Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities–Effective March 1, 2009, the Fund adopted FASB Statement of Financial Standards No. 161 “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS 161”). This standard is an amendment to FASB Statement No. 133 (“FASB 133”), “Accounting for Derivative Instruments” which expands the disclosure requirements of FASB 133 regarding an entity’s derivative instruments and hedging activities.

^^ As the Fund values its derivatives at fair value and recognizes changes in fair value through the statement of operations, it does not qualify for hedge accounting under FASB 133. The Fund’s investments in derivatives may represent an economic hedge; however, they are considered to be non-hedge transactions for the purpose of SFAS 161 disclosure.

(c)       All or a portion of this security has been pledged to cover collateral requirements on reverse repurchase agreements.

(d)       Includes accretion since inception for zero coupon interest rate swaps.

 



 

Portfolio valuation

 

Shares of the underlying funds and other mutual funds are generally valued at their net asset value.

 

Investments held by the underlying funds are valued as follows.  Securities listed on a securities exchange for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price on each business day, or if there is no such reported sale or official closing price, at the most recent quoted bid price, or broker bid (if the private market is more relevant in determining market value than the exchange).  Unlisted securities for which market quotations are readily available are generally valued at the most recent quoted bid price.  Debt instruments with a remaining maturity of sixty days or less are generally valued at amortized cost.  Shares of investment funds are generally valued at their net asset value.  Securities for which quotations are not readily available or whose values the Manager has determined to be unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Trustees or persons acting at their direction pursuant to procedures approved by the Trustees.  Although the goal of fair valuation is to determine the amount the owner of the securities might reasonably expect to receive upon their current sale, because of the uncertainty inherent in fair value pricing, the value determined for a particular security may be materially different than the value realized upon its sale.  For information about the pricing of some specific positions (e.g. swaps) see descriptions below.

 

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS 157”). While the adoption of SFAS 157 does not have an effect on the Fund’s net asset value, it does require additional disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 establishes a three-level hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements. The valuation hierarchy is based upon the reliability of inputs to the valuation of the Fund’s investments. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.  The three levels are defined as follows:

 

Level 1 – Valuations based on quoted prices for identical securities in active markets.

 

Level 2 – Valuations determined using other significant direct or indirect observable inputs.

 

Level 3 – Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant.

The Fund held no investments or other financial instruments at either March 18, 2009 or May 31, 2009, whose fair value was determined using level 3 inputs.

 



 

Futures contracts

 

The Fund may purchase and sell futures contracts.  A futures contract is a contract that obligates the holder to buy or sell an asset at a predetermined delivery price during a specified future time period.  Some futures contracts are net (cash) settled. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to deposit cash, U.S. government and agency obligations, or other liquid assets with the futures clearing broker in accordance with the initial margin requirements of the broker or exchange.  Futures contracts are marked to market daily and an appropriate payable or receivable for the change in value (“variation margin”) is recorded by the Fund.  The payable or receivable is settled on the following business day.  Gains or losses are recognized but not considered realized until the contracts expire or are closed.  Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of the variation margin.  Under some circumstances, futures exchanges may establish daily limits on the amount that the price of a futures contract can vary from the previous day’s settlement price, thereby effectively preventing liquidation of unfavorable positions.  Losses may arise from changes in the value of the underlying instrument if the Fund is unable to liquidate a futures position due to an illiquid market for the contract, the imposition of price limits or the failure of counterparty to perform under the contract terms.  Futures contracts are generally valued at the settlement price established at the close of business each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded.

 

Options

 

The Fund may purchase put and call options.  A call option gives the holder the right to buy an asset; a put option gives the holder the right to sell an asset.  Purchasing options alters the Fund’s exposure to the underlying instrument by, in the case of a call option, entitling the Fund to purchase the underlying instrument at a set price from the writer of the option and, in the case of a put option, entitling the Fund to sell the underlying instrument at a set price to the writer of the option.  The Fund pays a premium for a purchased option.  That premium is disclosed in the Schedule of Investments and is subsequently marked to market to reflect the current value of the option.  Premiums paid for options that expire are treated as realized losses.  Premiums paid for options that are exercised or closed are deducted from the proceeds of the closing transaction to determine the realized gain or loss.  The risk associated with purchasing put and call options is limited to the premium paid.

 

The Fund may write (i.e., sell) call and put options.  Writing options alters the Fund’s exposure to the underlying instrument by, in the case of a call option, obligating the Fund to sell the underlying instrument at a set price to the option-holder and, in the case of a put option, obligating the Fund to purchase the underlying instrument at a set price from the option-holder. In some cases (e.g. index options), settlement will be in cash. When the Fund writes a call or put option, an amount equal to the premium received is recorded as a liability and subsequently marked to market to reflect the current value of the option written.  Premiums received from writing options that expire are treated as realized gains.  Premiums received from writing options that are exercised or closed are deducted from the amounts paid on the underlying future, security or currency transaction to determine the realized gain or loss.  The Fund as a writer of an option has no control over whether the underlying future, security or currency may be sold (call) or purchased (put) and as a result bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the future, security or currency underlying the option.  In the event that the Fund writes call or put options without an offsetting exposure (e.g. call options on a security that the Fund does not own), it bears the risk of substantial losses if the price of the underlying asset increases (calls) or decreases (puts) during the term of the option.  Options expose the Fund to the risk the Fund may not be able to enter into a closing transaction because of an illiquid market.

The Fund values exchange traded options at the last sale price, or if no sale is reported, the last bid price for options it has purchased and the last ask price for options it has written.  The Fund values options traded over-the-counter using inputs provided by primary pricing sources and industry models.

 

Swap agreements

 

The Fund may enter into various types of swap agreements, including without limitation, swaps on securities and securities indices, interest rate swaps, total return swaps, credit default swaps, variance swaps, commodity swaps, inflation swaps and other types of available swaps.  A swap agreement is an agreement to exchange the return generated by one instrument for the return generated by another instrument.  Some swap contracts are net settled. When entering into a swap agreement, the Fund and/or the swap counterparty may post or receive cash or securities as collateral and will typically post or receive additional collateral as market values change.

 

Interest rate swap agreements involve an exchange by the parties of their respective commitments to pay or right to receive interest, e.g., an exchange of floating rate interest payments for fixed rate interest payments with respect to the notional amount of principal.

 

Total return swap agreements involve a commitment by one party to pay interest to the other party in exchange for a payment to it from the other party based on the return of a reference instrument (e.g., a security or basket of securities), both based on notional amounts. To the extent the return of the reference instrument exceeds or falls short of the interest payments, one party will receive a payment from or make a payment to the other party.

 

In a credit default swap agreement, one party makes payments to another party in exchange for the right to receive a specified return if a credit event occurs with respect to a referenced entity or entities.  Buying credit default protection reduces the buyer’s exposure (or increases negative exposure) in the event of an issuer’s default (e.g., it is intended to reduce risk where a party owns a security issued by or otherwise has exposure to the issuer).  Selling credit default protection subjects the seller to exposure to an issuer’s default or other credit events.  A seller of credit default protection receives payments in return for its obligation to pay the principal amount of a debt security (or other agreed-upon value) to the other party upon the occurrence of a credit event (e.g., issuer default or similar event).  If no credit event occurs, the seller has no payment obligations.  For credit default swap agreements on asset-backed securities, a credit event may be triggered by various events, which may include an issuer’s failure to pay interest or principal, a breach of a material representation or covenant, an agreement by the holders of an asset-backed security to a maturity extension, or a write-down on the collateral underlying the security.  For credit default swap agreements on corporate or sovereign issuers, a credit event may be triggered by such events as the issuer’s bankruptcy, failure to pay interest or principal, repudiation/moratorium or restructuring.

 

Variance swap agreements involve an agreement by two parties to exchange cash flows based on the measured variance (or square of volatility) of a specified underlying asset. One party agrees to exchange a “fixed rate” or strike price payment for the “floating rate” or realized price variance on the underlying asset with respect to the notional amount. At inception, the strike price chosen is generally fixed at a level such that the fair value of the swap is zero. As a result, no money changes hands at the initiation of the contract. At the expiration date, the amount paid by one party to the other is the difference between the realized price variance of the underlying asset and the strike price multiplied by the notional amount. A receiver of the realized price variance would receive a payment when the realized price variance of the underlying asset is greater than the strike price and would make a payment when that variance is less than the strike price. A payer of the realized price variance would make a payment when the realized price variance of the underlying asset is greater than the strike price and would receive a payment when that variance is less than the strike price. This type of agreement is essentially a forward contract on the future realized price variance of the underlying asset.

 

The Fund prices its swap agreements daily using models that may incorporate quotations from market makers and records the change in value, if any, as unrealized gain or loss.  Payments received or made on swap agreements are recorded as realized gain or loss.  Gains or losses are realized upon termination of the swap agreements, or reset dates as appropriate.

 

Swap agreements generally are not traded on financial markets. The values assigned to them may differ significantly from the values that would be realized upon termination, and the differences could be material. Entering into swap agreements involves counterparty credit, legal, and documentation risk that is generally not reflected in the models used to price the swap agreement.  Such risks include the possibility that the party with whom the Fund contracts may default on its obligations to perform or disagree as to the meaning of contractual terms, that the Fund has amounts on deposit in excess of amounts owed by the Fund, or that the collateral the other party posts may be insufficient or not timely received by the Fund.  Specifically, the amount shown as owed to the Fund under a swap agreement is not reduced if there is uncertainty about the counterparty’s willingness or ability to pay.  Credit risk is particularly acute in economic environments in which financial services firms are exposed to systemic risks of the type evidenced by the insolvency of Lehman Brothers in 2008 and subsequent market disruptions.

 

Reverse repurchase agreements

 

The Fund may enter into reverse repurchase agreements.  Under a reverse repurchase agreement the Fund sells portfolio assets subject to an agreement by the Fund to repurchase the same assets at a later date at a fixed price.  Also, if the buyer in a reverse repurchase agreement files for bankruptcy or becomes

 



 

insolvent, the Fund may be unable to recover the securities it sold and as a result would realize a loss equal to the difference between the value of the securities and the payment it received for them.  This loss would be greater to the extent the buyer paid less than the value of the securities the Fund sold to it (e.g., a buyer may pay $95 for a bond with a market value of $100).  The Fund’s use of proceeds from the sale of its securities may be restricted while the other party or its trustee or receiver determines whether to honor the Fund’s right to repurchase the securities.  As of May 31, 2009, the Fund had entered into reverse repurchase agreements, plus accrued interest, amounting to $34,262,000, involving securities with a market value, plus accrued interest, of $34,443,720.

 

Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities–The Fund adopted FASB Statement of Financial Standards No. 161 “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS 161”). This standard is an amendment to FASB Statement No. 133 (“FASB 133”), “Accounting for Derivative Instruments” which expands the disclosure requirements of FASB 133 regarding an entity’s derivative instruments and hedging activities.

^^ As the Fund values its derivatives at fair value and recognizes changes in fair value through the statement of operations, it does not qualify for hedge accounting under FASB 133. The Fund’s investments in derivatives may represent an economic hedge; however, they are considered to be non-hedge transactions for the purpose of SFAS 161 disclosure.

(a)

 

Security valued at fair value using methods determined in good faith by or at the direction of the Trustees of GMO Trust.

 



 

Portfolio valuation

 

Shares of the underlying funds and other mutual funds are generally valued at their net asset value.

 

Investments held by the underlying funds are valued as follows.   Securities listed on a securities exchange for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price on each business day, or if there is no such reported sale or official closing price, at the most recent quoted bid price, or broker bid (if the private market is more relevant in determining market value than the exchange).  Unlisted securities for which market quotations are readily available are generally valued at the most recent quoted bid price.  Debt instruments with a remaining maturity of sixty days or less are generally valued at amortized cost.  Shares of investment funds are generally valued at their net asset value.  Securities for which quotations are not readily available or whose values the Manager has determined to be unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Trustees or persons acting at their direction pursuant to procedures approved by the Trustees.  Although the goal of fair valuation is to determine the amount the owner of the securities might reasonably expect to receive upon their current sale, because of the uncertainty inherent in fair value pricing, the value determined for a particular security may be materially different than the value realized upon its sale.  Because many foreign equity securities markets and exchanges close prior to the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), closing prices for foreign securities in those markets or on those exchanges do not reflect the events that occur after that close but before the close of the NYSE.  As a result, the Fund generally values foreign equity securities as of the NYSE close using fair value prices, which are based on adjustments to closing prices supplied by a third party vendor using that vendor’s proprietary models.  As of May 31, 2009, 23.86% of the net assets of the Fund, through investments in the underlying funds, were valued using fair value prices based on models used by that third party vendor. Those underlying funds classify such securities under SFAS 157 (as defined below) as level 2.

 

Typically the Fund and the underlying funds value debt instruments based on the most recent bid supplied by a single pricing source chosen by the Manager.  The Manager evaluates pricing sources on an ongoing basis, and may change a pricing source at any time.  The Manager normally does not evaluate the prices supplied by pricing sources on a day-to-day basis.  The Manager monitors erratic or unusual movements (including unusual inactivity) in the prices supplied for a security and has discretion to override a price supplied by a source (e.g., by taking a price supplied by another) when it believes that the price supplied is not reliable.  The prices provided by a pricing source may differ from the value that would be realized if the securities were sold, and the differences could be material. In addition, although alternative prices are available for other securities held by the Fund, those alternative sources would not necessarily confirm the security price used by the Fund. Therefore, the existence of those alternative sources does not necessarily provide greater certainty about the prices used by the Fund.  As of May 31, 2009, the total value of securities held directly and indirectly for which no alternative pricing source was available represented 3.61% of the net assets of the Fund.

 

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS 157”). While the adoption of SFAS 157 does not have an effect on the Fund’s net asset value, it does require additional disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 establishes a three-level hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements. The valuation hierarchy is based upon the reliability of inputs to the valuation of the Fund’s investments. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.  The three levels are defined as follows:

 

Level 1 – Valuations based on quoted prices for identical securities in active markets.

 

Level 2 – Valuations determined using other significant direct or indirect observable inputs.

 

Level 3 – Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant.  The Fund utilized the following fair value techniques on level 3 investments: The Fund valued debt securities using bids received from primary pricing sources.

 

The following is a summary of the categorization of investments by inputs used as of May 31, 2009 in valuing the Fund’s investments:

Underlying funds are classified above as either level 1 or level 2. For the underlying funds’ summary of valuation inputs ( including level 3 inputs, if any) please refer to the respective fund’s portfolio valuation note. The aggregate absolute values of the Fund’s direct and indirect investments in securities and other financial instruments using level 3 inputs were 6.14% and 0.03% of total net assets, respectively.

Investment risks

 

The Fund is indirectly exposed to all of the risks associated with an investment in the underlying funds, including the risk that the underlying funds in which it invests will not perform as expected.  Some underlying funds may invest in foreign securities and asset-backed securities. The Fund is subject to risks involved in investing in foreign securities that are not presented by investments in U.S. securities. These risks may involve adverse political and economic developments, including expropriation and the possible imposition of capital controls or other foreign governmental laws or restrictions. In addition, the securities of some foreign companies and securities markets are less liquid and at times more volatile than securities of comparable U.S. companies and U.S. securities markets. Also, fluctuations in exchange rates may adversely affect the U.S. dollar value of the Fund’s foreign currency holdings and investments denominated in foreign currency.  The risks described above apply to an even greater extent to investments in emerging countries. The securities markets of emerging countries are generally smaller, less developed, less liquid, and more volatile than the securities markets of the U.S. and developed foreign markets. Additionally, the investment risks associated with an investment in the underlying funds may be greater to the extent that the underlying funds engage in derivative transactions.

 

The Fund invests (including through investment in underlying funds) in asset-backed securities, which may be backed in whole or in part by many types of assets, including pools of residential and commercial mortgages, automobile loans, educational loans, home equity loans, or credit-card receivables, which bring additional types of market risk.  Asset-backed securities also may be collateralized by the fees earned by service providers. They also may be backed by pools of corporate or sovereign bonds, bank loans made to corporations, or a combination of these bonds and loans (commonly referred to as “collateralized debt obligations”). Payment of interest on asset-backed securities and repayment of principal largely depend on the cash flows generated by the underlying assets backing the securities. The amount of market risk associated with asset-backed securities depends on many factors, including the deal structure (e.g., determination as to the amount of underlying assets or other support needed to produce the cash flows necessary to service interest and make principal payments), the quality of the underlying assets, the level of credit support, if any, provided for the securities, and the credit quality of the credit-support provider, if any.  Asset-backed securities involve risk of loss of principal if obligors of the underlying obligations default in payment of the obligations and the defaulted obligations exceed the credit support. The obligations of issuers (and obligors of underlying assets) also are subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, and other laws affecting the rights and remedies of creditors.  Many asset-backed securities are now rated below investment grade.

 

With the deterioration of worldwide economic and liquidity conditions that became acute in 2008, the markets for asset-backed securities became fractured and uncertainty about the creditworthiness of those securities (and underlying collateral) caused credit spreads (the difference between yields on the asset-backed securities and U.S. Government securities) to widen dramatically. Concurrently, systemic risks of the type evidenced by the insolvency of Lehman Brothers and subsequent market disruptions reduced the ability of financial institutions to make markets in many fixed income securities generally. These events reduced liquidity for securitized credits and contributed to substantial declines in the value of asset-backed and other fixed income securities. There can be no assurance these conditions will not continue or that they will not deteriorate further. Also, government actions and proposals affecting the terms of underlying home and consumer loans, changes in demand for products (e.g., automobiles) financed by those loans, and the inability of borrowers to refinance existing loans (e.g., sub-prime mortgages), have had, and may continue to have, adverse valuation and liquidity effects on asset-backed securities. There can be no assurance that in the future the market for asset-backed securities will become more liquid.

 



 

The value of an asset-backed security may depend on the servicing of its underlying assets and is, therefore, subject to risks associated with the negligence or defalcation of its servicer. In some circumstances, the mishandling of related documentation also may affect the rights of security holders in and to the underlying collateral. The insolvency of entities that generate receivables or that utilize the assets may result in a decline in the value of the underlying assets, as well as costs and delays.  In addition, asset-backed securities representing diverse sectors (e.g., auto loans, student loans, sub-prime mortgages, and credit-card receivables) have become more highly correlated since the deterioration of worldwide economic and liquidity conditions referred to above.

 

Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities–Effective March 1, 2009, the Fund adopted FASB Statement of Financial Standards No. 161 “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS 161”). This standard is an amendment to FASB Statement No. 133 (“FASB 133”), “Accounting for Derivative Instruments” which expands the disclosure requirements of FASB 133 regarding an entity’s derivative instruments and hedging activities.

 

The Fund adopted SFAS 161 on March 1, 2009.  As of May 31, 2009, the Fund held no derivative contracts for the purposes of SFAS 161.

(1)

 

Implied credit spreads, represented in absolute terms, utilized in determining the market value of credit default swap agreements on the reference security, as of May 31, 2009, serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk and reflect the likelihood or risk of default for the credit derivative. The implied credit spread of a particular referenced entity reflects the cost of buying/selling protection and may include upfront payments required to be made to enter into the agreement. Wider (i.e. higher) credit spreads represent a deterioration of the referenced entity’s credit soundness and a greater likelihood or risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the agreement.

The maximum potential amount the Fund could be required to make as a seller of credit protection if a credit event occurs as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement.

Portfolio valuation

 

Securities listed on a securities exchange for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price on each business day, or if there is no such reported sale or official closing price, at the most recent quoted bid price, or broker bid (if the private market is more relevant in determining market value than the exchange).  Unlisted securities for which market quotations are readily available are generally valued at the most recent quoted bid price.  Debt instruments with a remaining maturity of sixty days or less are generally valued at amortized cost.  Shares of investment funds are generally valued at their net asset value.  Securities for which quotations are not readily available or whose values the Manager has determined to be unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Trustees or persons acting at their direction pursuant to procedures approved by the Trustees.  Although the goal of fair valuation is to determine the amount the owner of the securities might reasonably expect to receive upon their current sale, because of the uncertainty inherent in fair value pricing, the value determined for a particular security may be materially different than the value realized upon its sale.  For information about the pricing of some specific positions (e.g. swaps) see descriptions below.

 

Typically the Fund and the underlying funds value debt instruments based on the most recent bid supplied by a single pricing source chosen by the Manager.  The Manager evaluates pricing sources on an ongoing basis, and may change a pricing source at any time.  The Manager normally does not evaluate the prices supplied by pricing sources on a day-to-day basis.  The Manager monitors erratic or unusual movements (including unusual inactivity) in the prices supplied for a security and has discretion to override a price supplied by a source (e.g., by taking a price supplied by another) when it believes that the price supplied is not reliable.  The prices provided by a pricing source may differ from the value that would be realized if the securities were sold, and the differences could be material. In addition, although alternative prices are available for other securities held by the Fund, those alternative sources would not necessarily confirm the security price used by the Fund. Therefore, the existence of those alternative sources does not necessarily provide greater certainty about the prices used by the Fund.  As of May 31, 2009, the total value of securities held directly and indirectly for which no alternative pricing source was available represented 14.79% of the net assets of the Fund.

 

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS 157”). While the adoption of SFAS 157 does not have an effect on the Fund’s net asset value, it does require additional disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 establishes a three-level hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements. The valuation hierarchy is based upon the reliability of inputs to the valuation of the Fund’s investments. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.  The three levels are defined as follows:

 

Level 1 – Valuations based on quoted prices for identical securities in active markets.

 

Level 2 – Valuations determined using other significant direct or indirect observable inputs.

 

Level 3 – Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant. The Fund utilized the following fair value techniques on Level 3 investments: The Fund valued certain debt securities using indicative bids received from primary pricing sources. In addition, the Fund valued certain debt securities and preferred stocks using a specified spread above the LIBOR rate or U.S. Treasury yield. The Fund also valued certain credit default swaps using industry standard models and inputs from pricing vendors. The Fund considered certain bankrupt securities to be worthless.

 

The following is a summary of the categorization of investments by inputs used as of May 31, 2009 in valuing the Fund’s investments:

Foreign currency translation

 

The market values of foreign securities, currency holdings and related assets and liabilities are translated to U.S. dollars based on the 4 p.m. New York time exchange rates each business day.  Income and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the 4 p.m. New York time exchange rates on the business day the income and expenses are accrued or incurred.  The Fund does not isolate realized and unrealized gains and losses attributable to changes in exchange rates from gains and losses that arise from changes in the market value of investments.  Such fluctuations are included with net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments.  Net realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions represent gains and losses on disposition of currencies and forward currency contracts, currency gains and losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amount of investment income and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s accounting records and the U.S. dollar equivalent amounts actually received or paid.

 

Forward currency contracts

 

The Fund may enter into forward currency contracts, including forward cross currency contracts.  A forward currency contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell a currency at a set price on a future date (or to pay or receive the amounts of the change in relative values of the two currencies).  The market value of a forward currency contract fluctuates with changes in forward currency exchange rates.  Forward currency contracts are marked to market daily using rates supplied by a quotation service and changes in value are recorded by the Fund as unrealized gains or losses.  Realized gains or losses on the contracts are 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.  These contracts involve market risk in excess of the unrealized gain or loss.  They expose the Fund to the risk of unfavorable movements in currency values and the risk that the counterparty will be unable or unwilling to meet the terms of the contracts.

 

Futures contracts

 

The Fund may purchase and sell futures contracts.  A futures contract is a contract that obligates the holder to buy or sell an asset at a predetermined delivery price during a specified future time period.  Some futures contracts are net (cash) settled. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to deposit cash, U.S. government and agency obligations, or other liquid assets with the futures clearing broker in accordance with the initial margin requirements of the broker or exchange.  Futures contracts are marked to market daily and an appropriate payable or receivable for the change in value (“variation margin”) is recorded by the Fund.  The payable or receivable is settled on the following business day.  Gains or losses are recognized but not considered realized until the contracts expire or are closed.  Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of the variation margin.  Under some circumstances, futures exchanges may establish daily limits on the amount that the price of a futures contract can vary from the previous day’s settlement price, thereby effectively preventing liquidation of unfavorable positions.  Losses may arise from changes in the value of the underlying instrument if the Fund is unable to liquidate a futures position due to an illiquid market for the contract, the imposition of price limits or the failure of counterparty to perform under the contract terms.  Futures contracts are

 



 

generally valued at the settlement price established at the close of business each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded.

 

Options

 

The Fund may purchase put and call options.  A call option gives the holder the right to buy an asset; a put option gives the holder the right to sell an asset.  Purchasing options alters the Fund’s exposure to the underlying instrument by, in the case of a call option, entitling the Fund to purchase the underlying instrument at a set price from the writer of the option and, in the case of a put option, entitling the Fund to sell the underlying instrument at a set price to the writer of the option.  The Fund pays a premium for a purchased option.  That premium is disclosed in the Schedule of Investments and is subsequently marked to market to reflect the current value of the option.  Premiums paid for options that expire are treated as realized losses.  Premiums paid for options that are exercised or closed are deducted from the proceeds of the closing transaction to determine the realized gain or loss.  The risk associated with purchasing put and call options is limited to the premium paid.

 

The Fund may write (i.e., sell) call and put options.   Writing options alters the Fund’s exposure to the underlying instrument by, in the case of a call option, obligating the Fund to sell the underlying instrument at a set price to the option-holder and, in the case of a put option, obligating the Fund to purchase the underlying instrument at a set price from the option-holder. In some cases (e.g., index options), settlement will be in cash. When the Fund writes a call or put option, an amount equal to the premium received is recorded as a liability and subsequently marked to market to reflect the current value of the option written.  Premiums received from writing options that expire are treated as realized gains.  Premiums received from writing options that are exercised or closed are deducted from the amounts paid on the underlying future, security or currency transaction to determine the realized gain or loss.  The Fund as a writer of an option has no control over whether the underlying future, security or currency may be sold (call) or purchased (put) and as a result bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the future, security or currency underlying the option.  In the event that the Fund writes call or put options without an offsetting exposure (e.g., call options on a security that the Fund does not own), it bears the risk of substantial losses if the price of the underlying asset increases (calls) or decreases (puts) during the term of the option.  Options expose the Fund to the risk the Fund may not be able to enter into a closing transaction because of an illiquid market.

 

The Fund values exchange traded options at the last sale price, or if no sale is reported, the last bid price for options it has purchased and the last ask price for options it has written.  The Fund values options traded over-the-counter using inputs provided by primary pricing sources and industry models.

 

Indexed securities

 

The Fund may invest in indexed securities.  Indexed securities are securities whose values and/or coupons are linked to the prices of a specific instrument, group of instruments or financial statistic.

 

Swap agreements

 

The Fund may enter into various types of swap agreements, including without limitation, swaps on securities and securities indices, interest rate swaps, total return swaps, credit default swaps, variance swaps, commodity swaps, inflation swaps and other types of available swaps.  A swap agreement is an agreement to exchange the return generated by one instrument for the return generated by another instrument.  Some swap contracts are net settled. When entering into a swap agreement, the Fund and/or the swap counterparty may post or receive cash or securities as collateral and will typically post or receive additional collateral as market values change.

 

Interest rate swap agreements involve an exchange by the parties of their respective commitments to pay or right to receive interest, e.g., an exchange of floating rate interest payments for fixed rate interest payments with respect to the notional amount of principal.

 

Total return swap agreements involve a commitment by one party to pay interest to the other party in exchange for a payment to it from the other party based on the return of a reference instrument (e.g., a security or basket of securities), both based on notional amounts. To the extent the return of the reference instrument exceeds or falls short of the interest payments, one party will receive a payment from or make a payment to the other party.

 

In a credit default swap agreement, one party makes payments to another party in exchange for the right to receive a specified return if a credit event occurs with respect to a referenced entity or entities.  Buying credit default protection reduces the buyer’s exposure (or increases negative exposure) in the event of an issuer’s default (e.g., it is intended to reduce risk where a party owns a security issued by or otherwise has exposure to the issuer).  Selling credit default protection subjects the seller to exposure to an issuer’s default or other credit events.  A seller of credit default protection receives payments in return for its obligation to pay the principal amount of a debt security (or other agreed-upon value) to the other party upon the occurrence of a credit event (e.g., issuer default or similar event).  If no credit event occurs, the seller has no payment obligations.  For credit default swap agreements on asset-backed securities, a credit event may be triggered by various events, which may include an issuer’s failure to pay interest or principal, a breach of a material representation or covenant, an agreement by the holders of an asset-backed security to a maturity extension, or a write-down on the collateral underlying the security.  For credit default swap agreements on corporate or sovereign issuers, a credit event may be triggered by such events as the issuer’s bankruptcy, failure to pay interest or principal, repudiation/moratorium or restructuring.

 



 

Variance swap agreements involve an agreement by two parties to exchange cash flows based on the measured variance (or square of volatility) of a specified underlying asset. One party agrees to exchange a “fixed rate” or strike price payment for the “floating rate” or realized price variance on the underlying asset with respect to the notional amount. At inception, the strike price chosen is generally fixed at a level such that the fair value of the swap is zero. As a result, no money changes hands at the initiation of the contract. At the expiration date, the amount paid by one party to the other is the difference between the realized price variance of the underlying asset and the strike price multiplied by the notional amount. A receiver of the realized price variance would receive a payment when the realized price variance of the underlying asset is greater than the strike price and would make a payment when that variance is less than the strike price. A payer of the realized price variance would make a payment when the realized price variance of the underlying asset is greater than the strike price and would receive a payment when that variance is less than the strike price. This type of agreement is essentially a forward contract on the future realized price variance of the underlying asset.

 

The Fund prices its swap agreements daily using models that may incorporate quotations from market makers and records the change in value, if any, as unrealized gain or loss.  Payments received or made on swap agreements are recorded as realized gain or loss.  Gains or losses are realized upon termination of the swap agreements, or reset dates as appropriate.

 

Swap agreements generally are not traded on financial markets. The values assigned to them may differ significantly from the values that would be realized upon termination, and the differences could be material. Entering into swap agreements involves counterparty credit, legal, and documentation risk that is generally not reflected in the models used to price the swap agreement.  Such risks include the possibility that the party with whom the Fund contracts may default on its obligations to perform or disagree as to the meaning of contractual terms, that the Fund has amounts on deposit in excess of amounts owed by the Fund, or that the collateral the other party posts may be insufficient or not timely received by the Fund.  Specifically, the amount shown as owed to the Fund under a swap agreement is not reduced if there is uncertainty about the counterparty’s willingness or ability to pay.  Credit risk is particularly acute in economic environments in which financial services firms are exposed to systemic risks of the type evidenced by the insolvency of Lehman Brothers in 2008 and subsequent market disruptions.

 

Reverse repurchase agreements

 

The Fund may enter into reverse repurchase agreements.  Under a reverse repurchase agreement the Fund sells portfolio assets subject to an agreement by the Fund to repurchase the same assets at a later date at a fixed price.  Also, if the buyer in a reverse repurchase agreement files for bankruptcy or becomes insolvent, the Fund may be unable to recover the securities it sold and as a result would realize a loss equal to the difference between the value of the securities and the payment it received for them.  This loss would be greater to the extent the buyer paid less than the value of the securities the Fund sold to it (e.g., a buyer may pay $95 for a bond with a market value of $100).  The Fund’s use of proceeds from the sale of its securities may be restricted while the other party or its trustee or receiver determines whether to honor the Fund’s right to repurchase the securities.

 

Investment risks

 

The Fund is subject to risks involved in investing in foreign securities that are not presented by investments in U.S. securities. These risks may involve adverse political and economic developments, including expropriation and the possible imposition of capital controls or other foreign governmental laws or restrictions. In addition, the securities of some foreign companies and securities markets are less liquid and at times may be more volatile than securities of comparable U.S. companies and U.S. securities markets. Also, fluctuations in exchange rates may adversely affect the U.S. dollar value of the Fund’s foreign currency holdings and investments denominated in foreign currency.  The risks described above apply to an even greater extent to investments in emerging countries. The securities markets of emerging countries are generally smaller, less developed, less liquid, and more volatile than the securities markets of the U.S. and developed foreign markets.  Additionally, the investment risks associated with an investment in the underlying funds may be greater to the extent that the underlying funds engage in derivative transactions.

 

The Fund invests (including through investment in underlying funds) in asset-backed securities, which may be backed in whole or in part by many types of assets, including pools of residential and commercial mortgages, automobile loans, educational loans, home equity loans, or credit-card receivables, which bring additional types of market risk.  Asset-backed securities also may be collateralized by the fees earned by service providers. They also may be backed by pools of corporate or sovereign bonds, bank loans made to corporations, or a combination of these bonds and loans (commonly referred to as “collateralized debt obligations”). Payment of interest on asset-backed securities and repayment of principal largely depend on the cash flows generated by the underlying assets backing the securities. The amount of market risk associated with asset-backed securities depends on many factors, including the deal structure (e.g., determination as to the amount of underlying assets or other support needed to produce the cash flows necessary to service interest and make principal payments), the quality of the underlying assets, the level of credit support, if any, provided for the securities, and the credit quality of the credit-support provider, if any.  Asset-backed securities involve risk of loss of principal if obligors of the underlying obligations default in payment of the obligations and the defaulted obligations exceed the credit support. The obligations of issuers (and obligors of underlying assets) also are subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, and other laws affecting the rights and remedies of creditors.  Many asset-backed securities are now rated below investment grade.

 



 

With the deterioration of worldwide economic and liquidity conditions that became acute in 2008, the markets for asset-backed securities became fractured and uncertainty about the creditworthiness of those securities (and underlying collateral) caused credit spreads (the difference between yields on the asset-backed securities and U.S. Government securities) to widen dramatically. Concurrently, systemic risks of the type evidenced by the insolvency of Lehman Brothers and subsequent market disruptions reduced the ability of financial institutions to make markets in many fixed income securities generally.  These events reduced liquidity for securitized credits and contributed to substantial declines in the value of asset-backed and other fixed income securities. There can be no assurance these conditions will not continue or that they will not deteriorate further. Also, government actions and proposals affecting the terms of underlying home and consumer loans, changes in demand for products (e.g., automobiles) financed by those loans, and the inability of borrowers to refinance existing loans (e.g., sub-prime mortgages), have had, and may continue to have, adverse valuation and liquidity effects on asset-backed securities. There can be no assurance that in the future the market for asset-backed securities will become more liquid.

 

The value of an asset-backed security may depend on the servicing of its underlying assets and is, therefore, subject to risks associated with the negligence or defalcation of its servicer. In some circumstances, the mishandling of related documentation also may affect the rights of security holders in and to the underlying collateral. The insolvency of entities that generate receivables or that utilize the assets may result in a decline in the value of the underlying assets, as well as costs and delays.  In addition, asset-backed securities representing diverse sectors (e.g., auto loans, student loans, sub-prime mortgages, and credit-card receivables) have become more highly correlated since the deterioration of worldwide economic and liquidity conditions referred to above.

 

The Fund uses its cash balance to meet its derivative collateral obligations and for other purposes. There is no assurance that the Fund’s cash balance will be sufficient to meet its collateral obligations arising under its derivatives.  If it is not, the Fund would be required to liquidate other positions. That may include redeeming shares of GMO Short Duration Collateral Fund (“SDCF”) and/or GMO World Opportunity Overlay Fund (“WOOF”), in which case the Fund would receive redemption proceeds in-kind from SDCF and/or WOOF and would then be required to dispose of those assets (mostly asset-backed securities) in the current adverse market conditions.  To manage the Fund’s cash collateral needs in the current extraordinary market conditions, the Manager reserves the right to reduce or eliminate the Fund’s derivative exposures, including those that are intended to cause the Fund to track its benchmark more closely. A reduction in those exposures may tend to cause the performance of the Fund to track its benchmark less closely and make the Fund’s performance more dependent on the performance of the asset-backed securities it holds directly or indirectly.

 

To address in part the cash management issues described above, the Fund may effect nearly all significant redemptions of its shares in-kind. If redeeming shareholders from the Fund choose to sell assets received in-kind immediately and current adverse market conditions continue, they may experience difficulty selling the assets at favorable prices.  The Fund may establish de minimis amounts below which redemptions may be honored for cash. Amounts available for cash redemptions could be increased and/or redemption fees could be reduced if conditions in the bond market improve. These amounts can and will change without prior notice.

 

Among other trading agreements, the Fund is party to International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreements (“ISDA Agreements”) with select counterparties that generally govern over-the-counter derivative transactions entered into by the Fund. The ISDA Master Agreements typically include representations and warranties as well as contractual terms related to collateral, events of default, termination events, and other provisions. Termination events include the decline in the net assets of the Fund below a certain level over a specified period of time and entitle a counterparty to elect to terminate early with respect to some or all the transactions under the ISDA Agreement with that counterparty. Such an election by one or more of the counterparties could have a material adverse impact on the Fund’s operations.  Due to declines in the net assets of the Fund prior to May 31, 2009, one or more counterparties are entitled to terminate early but none has taken such action.

 

Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities–Effective March 1, 2009, the Fund adopted FASB Statement of Financial Standards No. 161 “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS 161”). This standard is an amendment to FASB Statement No. 133 (“FASB 133”), “Accounting for Derivative Instruments” which expands the disclosure requirements of FASB 133 regarding an entity’s derivative instruments and hedging activities.

^^ As the Fund values its derivatives at fair value and recognizes changes in fair value through the statement of operations, it does not qualify for hedge accounting under FASB 133. The Fund’s investments in derivatives may represent an economic hedge; however, they are considered to be non-hedge transactions for the purpose of SFAS 161 disclosure.

(1)

Implied credit spreads, represented in absolute terms, utilized in determining the market value of credit default swap agreements on the reference security, as of May 31, 2009, serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk and reflect the likelihood or risk of default for the credit derivative. The implied credit spread of a particular referenced entity reflects the cost of buying/selling protection and may include upfront payments required to be made to enter into the agreement. Wider (i.e. higher) credit spreads represent a deterioration of the referenced entity’s credit soundness and a greater likelihood or risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the agreement.

The maximum potential amount the Fund could be required to make as a seller of credit protection if a credit event occurs as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement.

Portfolio valuation

 

Securities listed on a securities exchange for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price on each business day, or if there is no such reported sale or official closing price, at the most recent quoted bid price, or broker bid (if the private market is more relevant in determining market value than the exchange).  Unlisted securities for which market quotations are readily available are generally valued at the most recent quoted bid price.  Debt instruments with a remaining maturity of sixty days or less are generally valued at amortized cost.  Shares of investment funds are generally valued at their net asset value.  Securities for which quotations are not readily available or whose values the Manager has determined to be unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Trustees or persons acting at their direction pursuant to procedures approved by the Trustees.  Although the goal of fair valuation is to determine the amount the owner of the securities might reasonably expect to receive upon their current sale, because of the uncertainty inherent in fair value pricing, the value determined for a particular security may be materially different than the value realized upon its sale.  For information about the pricing of some specific positions (e.g. swaps) see descriptions below.

 

Typically the Fund and the underlying funds value debt instruments based on the most recent bid supplied by a single pricing source chosen by the Manager.  The Manager evaluates pricing sources on an ongoing basis, and may change a pricing source at any time.  The Manager normally does not evaluate the prices supplied by pricing sources on a day-to-day basis.  The Manager monitors erratic or unusual movements (including unusual inactivity) in the prices supplied for a security and has discretion to override a price supplied by a source (e.g., by taking a price supplied by another) when it believes that the price supplied is not reliable.  The prices provided by a pricing source may differ from the value that would be realized if the securities were sold, and the differences could be material. In addition, although alternative prices are available for other securities held by the Fund, those alternative sources would not necessarily confirm the security price used by the Fund. Therefore, the existence of those alternative sources does not necessarily provide greater certainty about the prices used by the Fund.  As of May 31, 2009, the total value of securities held directly and indirectly for which no alternative pricing source was available represented 25.57% of the net assets of the Fund.

 

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS 157”). While the adoption of SFAS 157 does not have an effect on the Fund’s net asset value, it does require additional disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 establishes a three-level hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements. The valuation hierarchy is based upon the reliability of inputs to the valuation of the Fund’s investments. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.  The three levels are defined as follows:

 

Level 1 – Valuations based on quoted prices for identical securities in active markets.

 

Level 2 – Valuations determined using other significant direct or indirect observable inputs.

 

Level 3 – Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant. The Fund utilized the following fair value techniques on Level 3 investments: The Fund considered certain bankrupt securities to be worthless.

 

The following is a summary of the categorization of investments by inputs used as of May 31, 2009 in valuing the Fund’s investments:

For the underlying funds’ summary of valuation inputs (including level 3 inputs, if any) please refer to the respective fund’s portfolio valuation note. The aggregate absolute value of the Fund’s direct and indirect investments in securities and other financial instruments using level 3 inputs were 69.45% and 0.18% of total net assets, respectively.

Foreign currency translation

 

The market values of foreign securities, currency holdings and related assets and liabilities are translated to U.S. dollars based on the 4 p.m. New York time exchange rates each business day.  Income and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the 4 p.m. New York time exchange rates on the business day the income and expenses are accrued or incurred.  The Fund does not isolate realized and unrealized gains and losses attributable to changes in exchange rates from gains and losses that arise from changes in the market value of investments.  Such fluctuations are included with net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments.  Net realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions represent gains and losses on disposition of currencies and forward currency contracts, currency gains and losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amount of investment income and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s accounting records and the U.S. dollar equivalent amounts actually received or paid.

 

Forward currency contracts

 

The Fund may enter into forward currency contracts, including forward cross currency contracts.  A forward currency contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell a currency at a set price on a future date (or to pay or receive the amounts of the change in relative values of the two currencies).  The market value of a forward currency contract fluctuates with changes in forward currency exchange rates.  Forward currency contracts are marked to market daily using rates supplied by a quotation service and changes in value are recorded by the Fund as unrealized gains or losses.  Realized gains or losses on the contracts are 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.  These contracts involve market risk in excess of the unrealized gain or loss.  They expose the Fund to the risk of unfavorable movements in currency values and the risk that the counterparty will be unable or unwilling to meet the terms of the contracts.

 

Futures contracts

 

The Fund may purchase and sell futures contracts.  A futures contract is a contract that obligates the holder to buy or sell an asset at a predetermined delivery price during a specified future time period.  Some futures contracts are net (cash) settled. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to deposit cash, U.S. government and agency obligations, or other liquid assets with the futures clearing broker in accordance with the initial margin requirements of the broker or exchange.  Futures contracts are marked to market daily and an appropriate payable or receivable for the change in value (“variation margin”) is recorded by the Fund.  The payable or receivable is settled on the following business day.  Gains or losses are recognized but not considered realized until the contracts expire or are closed.  Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of the variation margin.  Under some circumstances, futures exchanges may establish daily limits on the amount that the price of a futures contract can vary from the previous day’s settlement price, thereby effectively preventing liquidation of unfavorable positions.  Losses may arise from changes in the value of the underlying instrument if the Fund is unable to liquidate a futures position due to an illiquid market for the contract, the imposition of price limits or the failure of counterparty to perform under the contract terms.  Futures contracts are generally valued at the settlement price established at the close of business each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded.

 



 

Options

 

The Fund may purchase put and call options.  A call option gives the holder the right to buy an asset; a put option gives the holder the right to sell an asset.  Purchasing options alters the Fund’s exposure to the underlying instrument by, in the case of a call option, entitling the Fund to purchase the underlying instrument at a set price from the writer of the option and, in the case of a put option, entitling the Fund to sell the underlying instrument at a set price to the writer of the option.  The Fund pays a premium for a purchased option.  That premium is disclosed in the Schedule of Investments and is subsequently marked to market to reflect the current value of the option.  Premiums paid for options that expire are treated as realized losses.  Premiums paid for options that are exercised or closed are deducted from the proceeds of the closing transaction to determine the realized gain or loss.  The risk associated with purchasing put and call options is limited to the premium paid.

 

The Fund may write (i.e., sell) call and put options.  Writing options alters the Fund’s exposure to the underlying instrument by, in the case of a call option, obligating the Fund to sell the underlying instrument at a set price to the option-holder and, in the case of a put option, obligating the Fund to purchase the underlying instrument at a set price from the option-holder. In some cases (e.g. index options), settlement will be in cash. When the Fund writes a call or put option, an amount equal to the premium received is recorded as a liability and subsequently marked to market to reflect the current value of the option written.  Premiums received from writing options that expire are treated as realized gains.  Premiums received from writing options that are exercised or closed are deducted from the amounts paid on the underlying future, security or currency transaction to determine the realized gain or loss.  The Fund as a writer of an option has no control over whether the underlying future, security or currency may be sold (call) or purchased (put) and as a result bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the future, security or currency underlying the option.  In the event that the Fund writes call or put options without an offsetting exposure (e.g. call options on a security that the Fund does not own), it bears the risk of substantial losses if the price of the underlying asset increases (calls) or decreases (puts) during the term of the option.  Options expose the Fund to the risk the Fund may not be able to enter into a closing transaction because of an illiquid market.

 

The Fund values exchange traded options at the last sale price, or if no sale is reported, the last bid price for options it has purchased and the last ask price for options it has written.  The Fund values options traded over-the-counter using inputs provided by primary pricing sources and industry models.

 

Loan agreements

 

The Fund may invest in loans to corporate, governmental, or other borrowers. The Fund’s investments in loans may be in the form of participations in loans or assignments of all or a portion of loans from third parties.  A loan is often administered by a bank or other financial institution (the “lender”) that acts as agent for all holders. The agent administers the terms of the loan, as specified in the loan agreement.  When investing in a loan participation, (i) the Fund has the right to receive payments of principal, interest and any fees to which it is entitled only from the lender selling the participation in the loan agreement and only upon receipt by the lender of payments from the borrower and (ii) the Fund generally has no right to enforce compliance by the borrower with the terms of the loan agreement. As a result, the Fund may be subject to the credit risk of both the borrower and the lender that has sold the participation in the loan agreement.  When the Fund purchases assignments from lenders, it acquires direct rights against the borrower on the loan.

 

Indexed securities

 

The Fund may invest in indexed securities.  Indexed securities are securities whose values and/or coupons are linked to the prices of a specific instrument, group of instruments or financial statistic.

 

Swap agreements

 

The Fund may enter into various types of swap agreements, including without limitation, swaps on securities and securities indices, interest rate swaps, total return swaps, credit default swaps, variance swaps, commodity swaps, inflation swaps and other types of available swaps.  A swap agreement is an agreement to exchange the return generated by one instrument for the return generated by another instrument.  Some swap contracts are net settled. When entering into a swap agreement, the Fund and/or the swap counterparty may post or receive cash or securities as collateral and will typically post or receive additional collateral as market values change.

 

Interest rate swap agreements involve an exchange by the parties of their respective commitments to pay or right to receive interest, e.g., an exchange of floating rate interest payments for fixed rate interest payments with respect to the notional amount of principal.

 

Total return swap agreements involve a commitment by one party to pay interest to the other party in exchange for a payment to it from the other party based on the return of a reference instrument (e.g., a security or basket of securities), both based on notional amounts. To the extent the return of the reference instrument exceeds or falls short of the interest payments, one party will receive a payment from or make a payment to the other party.

 

In a credit default swap agreement, one party makes payments to another party in exchange for the right to receive a specified return if a credit event occurs with respect to a referenced entity or entities.  Buying credit default protection reduces the buyer’s exposure (or increases negative exposure) in the event of an issuer’s default (e.g., it is intended to reduce risk where a party owns a security issued by or otherwise has exposure to the issuer).  Selling credit default protection subjects the seller to exposure to an issuer’s default or other credit

 



 

events.  A seller of credit default protection receives payments in return for its obligation to pay the principal amount of a debt security (or other agreed-upon value) to the other party upon the occurrence of a credit event (e.g., issuer default or similar event).  If no credit event occurs, the seller has no payment obligations.  For credit default swap agreements on asset-backed securities, a credit event may be triggered by various events, which may include an issuer’s failure to pay interest or principal, a breach of a material representation or covenant, an agreement by the holders of an asset-backed security to a maturity extension, or a write-down on the collateral underlying the security.  For credit default swap agreements on corporate or sovereign issuers, a credit event may be triggered by such events as the issuer’s bankruptcy, failure to pay interest or principal, repudiation/moratorium or restructuring.

 

Variance swap agreements involve an agreement by two parties to exchange cash flows based on the measured variance (or square of volatility) of a specified underlying asset. One party agrees to exchange a “fixed rate” or strike price payment for the “floating rate” or realized price variance on the underlying asset with respect to the notional amount. At inception, the strike price chosen is generally fixed at a level such that the fair value of the swap is zero. As a result, no money changes hands at the initiation of the contract. At the expiration date, the amount paid by one party to the other is the difference between the realized price variance of the underlying asset and the strike price multiplied by the notional amount. A receiver of the realized price variance would receive a payment when the realized price variance of the underlying asset is greater than the strike price and would make a payment when that variance is less than the strike price. A payer of the realized price variance would make a payment when the realized price variance of the underlying asset is greater than the strike price and would receive a payment when that variance is less than the strike price. This type of agreement is essentially a forward contract on the future realized price variance of the underlying asset.

 

The Fund prices its swap agreements daily using models that may incorporate quotations from market makers and records the change in value, if any, as unrealized gain or loss.  Payments received or made on swap agreements are recorded as realized gain or loss.  Gains or losses are realized upon termination of the swap agreements, or reset dates as appropriate.

 

Swap agreements generally are not traded on financial markets. The values assigned to them may differ significantly from the values that would be realized upon termination, and the differences could be material. Entering into swap agreements involves counterparty credit, legal, and documentation risk that is generally not reflected in the models used to price the swap agreement.  Such risks include the possibility that the party with whom the Fund contracts may default on its obligations to perform or disagree as to the meaning of contractual terms, that the Fund has amounts on deposit in excess of amounts owed by the Fund, or that the collateral the other party posts may be insufficient or not timely received by the Fund.  Specifically, the amount shown as owed to the Fund under a swap agreement is not reduced if there is uncertainty about the counterparty’s willingness or ability to pay.  Credit risk is particularly acute in economic environments in which financial services firms are exposed to systemic risks of the type evidenced by the insolvency of Lehman Brothers in 2008 and subsequent market disruptions.

 

Reverse repurchase agreements

 

The Fund may enter into reverse repurchase agreements.  Under a reverse repurchase agreement the Fund sells portfolio assets subject to an agreement by the Fund to repurchase the same assets at a later date at a fixed price.  Also, if the buyer in a reverse repurchase agreement files for bankruptcy or becomes insolvent, the Fund may be unable to recover the securities it sold and as a result would realize a loss equal to the difference between the value of the securities and the payment it received for them.  This loss would be greater to the extent the buyer paid less than the value of the securities the Fund sold to it (e.g., a buyer may pay $95 for a bond with a market value of $100).  The Fund’s use of proceeds from the sale of its securities may be restricted while the other party or its trustee or receiver determines whether to honor the Fund’s right to repurchase the securities.

 

Investment risks

 

The Fund is subject to risks involved in investing in foreign securities that are not presented by investments in U.S. securities. These risks may involve adverse political and economic developments, including expropriation and the possible imposition of capital controls or other foreign governmental laws or restrictions. In addition, the securities of some foreign companies and securities markets are less liquid and at times may be more volatile than securities of comparable U.S. companies and U.S. securities markets. Also, fluctuations in exchange rates may adversely affect the U.S. dollar value of the Fund’s foreign currency holdings and investments denominated in foreign currency.  The risks described above apply to an even greater extent to investments in emerging countries. The securities markets of emerging countries are generally smaller, less developed, less liquid, and more volatile than the securities markets of the U.S. and developed foreign markets.  Additionally, the investment risks associated with an investment in the underlying funds may be greater to the extent that the underlying funds engage in derivative transactions.

 

The Fund invests (including through investment in underlying funds) in asset-backed securities, which may be backed in whole or in part by many types of assets, including pools of residential and commercial mortgages, automobile loans, educational loans, home equity loans, or credit-card receivables, which bring additional types of market risk.  Asset-backed securities also may be collateralized by the fees earned by service providers. They also may be backed by pools of corporate or sovereign bonds, bank loans made to corporations, or a combination of these bonds and loans (commonly referred to as “collateralized debt obligations”). Payment of interest on asset-backed securities and repayment of principal largely depend on the cash flows generated by the underlying assets backing the securities. The

 



 

amount of market risk associated with asset-backed securities depends on many factors, including the deal structure (e.g., determination as to the amount of underlying assets or other support needed to produce the cash flows necessary to service interest and make principal payments), the quality of the underlying assets, the level of credit support, if any, provided for the securities, and the credit quality of the credit-support provider, if any.  Asset-backed securities involve risk of loss of principal if obligors of the underlying obligations default in payment of the obligations and the defaulted obligations exceed the credit support. The obligations of issuers (and obligors of underlying assets) also are subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, and other laws affecting the rights and remedies of creditors.  Many asset-backed securities are now rated below investment grade.

 

With the deterioration of worldwide economic and liquidity conditions that became acute in 2008, the markets for asset-backed securities became fractured and uncertainty about the creditworthiness of those securities (and underlying collateral) caused credit spreads (the difference between yields on the asset-backed securities and U.S. Government securities) to widen dramatically. Concurrently, systemic risks of the type evidenced by the insolvency of Lehman Brothers and subsequent market disruptions reduced the ability of financial institutions to make markets in many fixed income securities generally.  These events reduced liquidity for securitized credits and contributed to substantial declines in the value of asset-backed and other fixed income securities. There can be no assurance these conditions will not continue or that they will not deteriorate further. Also, government actions and proposals affecting the terms of underlying home and consumer loans, changes in demand for products (e.g., automobiles) financed by those loans, and the inability of borrowers to refinance existing loans (e.g., sub-prime mortgages), have had, and may continue to have, adverse valuation and liquidity effects on asset-backed securities. There can be no assurance that in the future the market for asset-backed securities will become more liquid.

 

The value of an asset-backed security may depend on the servicing of its underlying assets and is, therefore, subject to risks associated with the negligence or defalcation of its servicer. In some circumstances, the mishandling of related documentation also may affect the rights of security holders in and to the underlying collateral. The insolvency of entities that generate receivables or that utilize the assets may result in a decline in the value of the underlying assets, as well as costs and delays.  In addition, asset-backed securities representing diverse sectors (e.g., auto loans, student loans, sub-prime mortgages, and credit-card receivables) have become more highly correlated since the deterioration of worldwide economic and liquidity conditions referred to above. 

 

The Fund uses its cash balance to meet its derivative collateral obligations and for other purposes. There is no assurance that the Fund’s cash balance will be sufficient to meet its collateral obligations arising under its derivatives.  If it is not, the Fund would be required to liquidate other positions. That may include redeeming shares of GMO Short Duration Collateral Fund (“SDCF”) and/or GMO World Opportunity Overlay Fund (“WOOF”), in which case the Fund would receive redemption proceeds in-kind from SDCF and/or WOOF and would then be required to dispose of those assets (mostly asset-backed securities) in the current adverse market conditions.  To manage the Fund’s cash collateral needs in the current extraordinary market conditions, the Manager reserves the right to reduce or eliminate the Fund’s derivative exposures, including those that are intended to cause the Fund to track its benchmark more closely. A reduction in those exposures may tend to cause the performance of the Fund to track its benchmark less closely and make the Fund’s performance more dependent on the performance of the asset-backed securities it holds directly or indirectly.

 

To address in part the cash management issues described above, the Fund may effect nearly all significant redemptions of its shares in-kind. If redeeming shareholders from the Fund choose to sell assets received in-kind immediately and current adverse market conditions continue, they may experience difficulty selling the assets at favorable prices.  The Fund may establish de minimis amounts below which redemptions may be honored for cash. Amounts available for cash redemptions could be increased and/or redemption fees could be reduced if conditions in the bond market improve. These amounts can and will change without prior notice.

 

Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities–Effective March 1, 2009, the Fund adopted FASB Statement of Financial Standards No. 161 “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS 161”). This standard is an amendment to FASB Statement No. 133 (“FASB 133”), “Accounting for Derivative Instruments” which expands the disclosure requirements of FASB 133 regarding an entity’s derivative instruments and hedging activities.

^^ As the Fund values its derivatives at fair value and recognizes changes in fair value through the statement of operations, it does not qualify for hedge accounting under FASB 133. The Fund’s investments in derivatives may represent an economic hedge; however, they are considered to be non-hedge transactions for the purpose of SFAS 161 disclosure.

Notes to Schedule of Investments:

 

Portfolio valuation

 

Shares of the underlying funds and other mutual funds are generally valued at their net asset value.

 

Investments held by the underlying funds are valued as follows.  Securities listed on a securities exchange for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price on each business day, or if there is no such reported sale or official closing price, at the most recent quoted bid price, or broker bid (if the private market is more relevant in determining market value than the exchange).  Unlisted securities for which market quotations are readily available are generally valued at the most recent quoted bid price.  Debt instruments with a remaining maturity of sixty days or less are generally valued at amortized cost.  Shares of investment funds are generally valued at their net asset value.  Securities for which quotations are not readily available or whose values the Manager has determined to be unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Trustees or persons acting at their direction pursuant to procedures approved by the Trustees.  Although the goal of fair valuation is to determine the amount the owner of the securities might reasonably expect to receive upon their current sale, because of the uncertainty inherent in fair value pricing, the value determined for a particular security may be materially different than the value realized upon its sale.  For information about the pricing of some specific positions (e.g. swaps) see descriptions below.  Because many foreign equity securities markets and exchanges close prior to the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), closing prices for foreign securities in those markets or on those exchanges do not reflect the events that occur after that close but before the close of the NYSE.  As a result, the Fund generally values foreign equity securities as of the NYSE close using fair value prices, which are based on adjustments to closing prices supplied by a third party vendor using that vendor’s proprietary models.  As of May 31, 2009, 90.71% of the net assets of the Fund, through investments in the underlying funds, were valued using fair value prices based on models used by that third party vendor. Those underlying funds classify such securities under SFAS 157 (as defined below) as level 2.

 

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS 157”). While the adoption of SFAS 157 does not have an effect on the Fund’s net asset value, it does require additional disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 establishes a three-level hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements. The valuation hierarchy is based upon the reliability of inputs to the valuation of the Fund’s investments. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.  The three levels are defined as follows:

 

Level 1 – Valuations based on quoted prices for identical securities in active markets.

 

Level 2 – Valuations determined using other significant direct or indirect observable inputs.

 

Level 3 – Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant.

 

The following is a summary of the categorization of investments by inputs used as of May 31, 2009 in valuing the Fund’s investments:

The Fund held no investments or other financial instruments at either February 28, 2009 or May 31, 2009, whose fair value was determined using level 3 inputs.

 

Foreign currency translation

 

The market values of foreign securities, currency holdings and related assets and liabilities are translated to U.S. dollars based on the 4 p.m. New York time exchange rates each business day.  Income and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the 4 p.m. New York time exchange rates on the business day the income and expenses are accrued or incurred.  The Fund does not isolate realized and unrealized gains and losses attributable to changes in exchange rates from gains and losses that arise from changes in the market value of investments.  Such fluctuations are included with net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments.  Net realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions represent gains and losses on disposition of currencies and forward currency contracts, currency gains and losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amount of investment income and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s accounting records and the U.S. dollar equivalent amounts actually received or paid.

 

Forward currency contracts

 

The Fund may enter into forward currency contracts, including forward cross currency contracts.  A forward currency contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell a currency at a set price on a future date (or to pay or receive the amounts of the change in relative values of the two currencies).  The market value of a forward currency contract fluctuates with changes in forward currency exchange rates.  Forward currency contracts are marked to market daily using rates supplied by a quotation service and changes in value are recorded by the Fund as unrealized gains or losses.  Realized gains or losses on the contracts are 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.  These contracts involve market risk in excess of the unrealized gain or loss.  They expose the Fund to the risk of unfavorable movements in currency values and the risk that the counterparty will be unable or unwilling to meet the terms of the contracts.

 

Futures contracts

 

The Fund may purchase and sell futures contracts.  A futures contract is a contract that obligates the holder to buy or sell an asset at a predetermined delivery price during a specified future time period.  Some futures contracts are net (cash) settled. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to deposit cash, U.S. government and agency obligations, or other liquid assets with the futures clearing broker in accordance with the initial margin requirements of the broker or exchange.  Futures contracts are marked to market daily and an appropriate payable or receivable for the change in value (“variation margin”) is recorded by the Fund.  The payable or receivable is settled on the following business day.  Gains or losses are recognized but not considered realized until the contracts expire or are closed.  Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of the variation margin.  Under some circumstances, futures exchanges may establish daily limits on the amount that the price of a futures contract can vary from the previous day’s settlement price, thereby effectively preventing liquidation of unfavorable positions.  Losses may arise from changes in the value of the underlying instrument if the Fund is unable to liquidate a futures position due to an illiquid market for the contract, the imposition of price limits or the failure of counterparty to perform under the contract terms.  Futures contracts are generally valued at the settlement price established at the close of business each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded.  Because many foreign exchanges close prior to the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), closing prices for foreign futures in those markets or on those markets or on those exchanges do not reflect the events that occur after that close but before the close of the NYSE. As a result, the Fund generally values foreign futures using fair value prices, which are based on adjustments to closing prices supplied by a third party vendor based on that vendor’s proprietary models.

 

Options

 

The Fund may purchase put and call options.  A call option gives the holder the right to buy an asset; a put option gives the holder the right to sell an asset.  Purchasing options alters the Fund’s exposure to the underlying instrument by, in the case of a call option, entitling the Fund to purchase the underlying instrument at a set price from the writer of the option and, in the case of a put option, entitling the Fund to sell the underlying instrument at a set price to the writer of the option.  The Fund pays a premium for a purchased option.  That premium is disclosed in the Schedule of Investments and is subsequently marked to market to reflect the current value of the option.  Premiums paid for options that expire are treated as realized losses.  Premiums paid for options that are exercised or closed are deducted from the proceeds of the closing transaction to determine the realized gain or loss.  The risk associated with purchasing put and call options is limited to the premium paid.

 

The Fund may write (i.e., sell) call and put options.  Writing options alters the Fund’s exposure to the underlying instrument by, in the case of a call option, obligating the Fund to sell the underlying instrument at a set price to the option-holder and, in the case of a put option, obligating the Fund to purchase the underlying instrument at a set price from the option-holder. In some cases (e.g. index options), settlement will be in cash. When the Fund writes a call or put option, an amount equal to the premium received is recorded as a liability and subsequently marked to market to reflect the current value of the option written.  Premiums received from writing options that expire are

 



 

treated as realized gains.  Premiums received from writing options that are exercised or closed are deducted from the amounts paid on the underlying future, security or currency transaction to determine the realized gain or loss.  The Fund as a writer of an option has no control over whether the underlying future, security or currency may be sold (call) or purchased (put) and as a result bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the future, security or currency underlying the option.  In the event that the Fund writes call or put options without an offsetting exposure (e.g. call options on a security that the Fund does not own), it bears the risk of substantial losses if the price of the underlying asset increases (calls) or decreases (puts) during the term of the option.  Options expose the Fund to the risk the Fund may not be able to enter into a closing transaction because of an illiquid market.

 

The Fund values exchange traded options at the last sale price, or if no sale is reported, the last bid price for options it has purchased and the last ask price for options it has written.  The Fund values options traded over-the-counter using inputs provided by primary pricing sources and industry models.

 

Swap agreements

 

The Fund may enter into various types of swap agreements, including without limitation, swaps on securities and securities indices, interest rate swaps, total return swaps, credit default swaps, variance swaps, commodity swaps, inflation swaps and other types of available swaps.  A swap agreement is an agreement to exchange the return generated by one instrument for the return generated by another instrument.  Some swap contracts are net settled. When entering into a swap agreement, the Fund and/or the swap counterparty may post or receive cash or securities as collateral and will typically post or receive additional collateral as market values change.

 

Interest rate swap agreements involve an exchange by the parties of their respective commitments to pay or right to receive interest, e.g., an exchange of floating rate interest payments for fixed rate interest payments with respect to the notional amount of principal.

 

Total return swap agreements involve a commitment by one party to pay interest to the other party in exchange for a payment to it from the other party based on the return of a reference instrument (e.g., a security or basket of securities), both based on notional amounts. To the extent the return of the reference instrument exceeds or falls short of the interest payments, one party will receive a payment from or make a payment to the other party.

 

In a credit default swap agreement, one party makes payments to another party in exchange for the right to receive a specified return if a credit event occurs with respect to a referenced entity or entities.  Buying credit default protection reduces the buyer’s exposure (or increases negative exposure) in the event of an issuer’s default (e.g., it is intended to reduce risk where a party owns a security issued by or otherwise has exposure to the issuer).  Selling credit default protection subjects the seller to exposure to an issuer’s default or other credit events.  A seller of credit default protection receives payments in return for its obligation to pay the principal amount of a debt security (or other agreed-upon value) to the other party upon the occurrence of a credit event (e.g., issuer default or similar event).  If no credit event occurs, the seller has no payment obligations.  For credit default swap agreements on asset-backed securities, a credit event may be triggered by various events, which may include an issuer’s failure to pay interest or principal, a breach of a material representation or covenant, an agreement by the holders of an asset-backed security to a maturity extension, or a write-down on the collateral underlying the security.  For credit default swap agreements on corporate or sovereign issuers, a credit event may be triggered by such events as the issuer’s bankruptcy, failure to pay interest or principal, repudiation/moratorium or restructuring.

 

Variance swap agreements involve an agreement by two parties to exchange cash flows based on the measured variance (or square of volatility) of a specified underlying asset. One party agrees to exchange a “fixed rate” or strike price payment for the “floating rate” or realized price variance on the underlying asset with respect to the notional amount. At inception, the strike price chosen is generally fixed at a level such that the fair value of the swap is zero. As a result, no money changes hands at the initiation of the contract. At the expiration date, the amount paid by one party to the other is the difference between the realized price variance of the underlying asset and the strike price multiplied by the notional amount. A receiver of the realized price variance would receive a payment when the realized price variance of the underlying asset is greater than the strike price and would make a payment when that variance is less than the strike price. A payer of the realized price variance would make a payment when the realized price variance of the underlying asset is greater than the strike price and would receive a payment when that variance is less than the strike price. This type of agreement is essentially a forward contract on the future realized price variance of the underlying asset.

 

The Fund prices its swap agreements daily using models that may incorporate quotations from market makers and records the change in value, if any, as unrealized gain or loss.  Payments received or made on swap agreements are recorded as realized gain or loss.  Gains or losses are realized upon termination of the swap agreements, or reset dates as appropriate.

 

Swap agreements generally are not traded on financial markets. The values assigned to them may differ significantly from the values that would be realized upon termination, and the differences could be material. Entering into swap agreements involves counterparty credit, legal, and documentation risk that is generally not reflected in the models used to price the swap agreement.  Such risks include the possibility that the party with whom the Fund contracts may default on its obligations to perform or disagree as to the meaning of contractual terms, that the Fund has amounts on deposit in excess of amounts owed by the Fund, or that the collateral the other party posts may be insufficient or not timely received by the Fund.  Specifically, the amount shown as owed to the Fund under a swap agreement is not reduced if there is uncertainty about the counterparty’s willingness or ability to pay.  Credit risk is particularly acute in economic

 



 

environments in which financial services firms are exposed to systemic risks of the type evidenced by the insolvency of Lehman Brothers in 2008 and subsequent market disruptions.

 

Investment risks

 

The Fund is indirectly exposed to all of the risks associated with an investment in the underlying funds, including the risk that the underlying funds in which it invests will not perform as expected.  Some underlying funds may invest directly and/or indirectly in foreign securities.  The Fund is subject to risks involved in investing in foreign securities that are not presented by investments in U.S. securities. These risks may involve adverse political and economic developments, including expropriation and the possible imposition of capital controls or other foreign governmental laws or restrictions. In addition, the securities of some foreign companies and securities markets are less liquid and at times more volatile than securities of comparable U.S. companies and U.S. securities markets.  Also, fluctuations in exchange rates may adversely affect the U.S. dollar value of the Fund’s foreign currency holdings and investments denominated in foreign currency.  The risks described above apply to an even greater extent to investments in emerging countries. The securities markets of emerging countries are generally smaller, less developed, less liquid, and more volatile than the securities markets of the U.S. and developed foreign markets. Additionally, the investment risks associated with an investment in the underlying funds may be greater to the extent that the underlying funds engage in derivative transactions.

 

Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities–Effective March 1, 2009, the Fund adopted FASB Statement of Financial Standards No. 161 “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS 161”). This standard is an amendment to FASB Statement No. 133 (“FASB 133”), “Accounting for Derivative Instruments” which expands the disclosure requirements of FASB 133 regarding an entity’s derivative instruments and hedging activities.

 

The table below summarizes the fair values of derivatives held by the Fund at May 31, 2009 by risk category:

^^ As the Fund values its derivatives at fair value and recognizes changes in fair value through the statement of operations, it does not qualify for hedge accounting under FASB 133. The Fund’s investments in derivatives may represent an economic hedge; however, they are considered to be non-hedge transactions for the purpose of SFAS 161 disclosure.

Portfolio valuation

 

Securities listed on a securities exchange for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price on each business day, or if there is no such reported sale or official closing price, at the most recent quoted bid price, or broker bid (if the private market is more relevant in determining market value than the exchange).  Unlisted securities for which market quotations are readily available are generally valued at the most recent quoted bid price.  Debt instruments with a remaining maturity of sixty days or less are generally valued at amortized cost.  Shares of investment funds are generally valued at their net asset value.  Securities for which quotations are not readily available or whose values the Manager has determined to be unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Trustees or persons acting at their direction pursuant to procedures approved by the Trustees.  Although the goal of fair valuation is to determine the amount the owner of the securities might reasonably expect to receive upon their current sale, because of the uncertainty inherent in fair value pricing, the value determined for a particular security may be materially different than the value realized upon its sale.  For information about the pricing of some specific positions (e.g. swaps) see descriptions below.  Because many foreign equity securities markets and exchanges close prior to the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), closing prices for foreign securities in those markets or on those exchanges do not reflect the events that occur after that close but before the close of the NYSE.  As a result, the Fund generally values foreign equity securities as of the NYSE close using fair value prices, which are based on adjustments to closing prices supplied by a third party vendor using that vendor’s proprietary models.  As of May 31, 2009, 45.41% of the net assets of the Fund were valued using fair value prices based on models used by that third party vendor and are classified as using level 2 inputs in the table below.

 

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS 157”). While the adoption of SFAS 157 does not have an effect on the Fund’s net asset value, it does require additional disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 establishes a three-level hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements. The valuation hierarchy is based upon the reliability of inputs to the valuation of the Fund’s investments. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.  The three levels are defined as follows:

 

Level 1 – Valuations based on quoted prices for identical securities in active markets.

 

Level 2 – Valuations determined using other significant direct or indirect observable inputs.

 

Level 3 – Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant.

 

The following is a summary of the categorization of investments by inputs used as of May 31, 2009 in valuing the Fund’s investments:

The Fund held no investments or other financial instruments at either February 28, 2009 or May 31, 2009, whose fair value was determined using level 3 inputs.

 

Foreign currency translation

 

The market values of foreign securities, currency holdings and related assets and liabilities are translated to U.S. dollars based on the 4 p.m. New York time exchange rates each business day.  Income and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the 4 p.m. New York time exchange rates on the business day the income and expenses are accrued or incurred.  The Fund does not isolate realized

 



 

and unrealized gains and losses attributable to changes in exchange rates from gains and losses that arise from changes in the market value of investments.  Such fluctuations are included with net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments.  Net realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions represent gains and losses on disposition of currencies and forward currency contracts, currency gains and losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amount of investment income and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s accounting records and the U.S. dollar equivalent amounts actually received or paid.

 

Forward currency contracts

 

The Fund may enter into forward currency contracts, including forward cross currency contracts.  A forward currency contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell a currency at a set price on a future date (or to pay or receive the amounts of the change in relative values of the two currencies).  The market value of a forward currency contract fluctuates with changes in forward currency exchange rates.  Forward currency contracts are marked to market daily using rates supplied by a quotation service and changes in value are recorded by the Fund as unrealized gains or losses.  Realized gains or losses on the contracts are 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.  These contracts involve market risk in excess of the unrealized gain or loss.  They expose the Fund to the risk of unfavorable movements in currency values and the risk that the counterparty will be unable or unwilling to meet the terms of the contracts.

 

Rights and Warrants

 

A Fund may purchase or otherwise receive warrants or rights. Warrants and rights generally give the holder the right to receive, upon exercise, a security of the issuer at a stated price. Funds typically use warrants and rights in a manner similar to their use of options on securities, as described in Options below. Risks associated with the use of warrants and rights are generally similar to risks associated with the use of options. Unlike most options, however, warrants and rights are issued in specific amounts, and warrants generally have longer terms than options. Warrants and rights are not likely to be as liquid as exchange-traded options backed by a recognized clearing agency. In addition, the terms of warrants or rights may limit a Fund’s ability to exercise the warrants or rights at such time, or in such quantities, as the Fund would otherwise wish.

 

Futures contracts

 

The Fund may purchase and sell futures contracts.  A futures contract is a contract that obligates the holder to buy or sell an asset at a predetermined delivery price during a specified future time period.  Some futures contracts are net (cash) settled. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to deposit cash, U.S. government and agency obligations, or other liquid assets with the futures clearing broker in accordance with the initial margin requirements of the broker or exchange.  Futures contracts are marked to market daily and an appropriate payable or receivable for the change in value (“variation margin”) is recorded by the Fund.  The payable or receivable is settled on the following business day.  Gains or losses are recognized but not considered realized until the contracts expire or are closed.  Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of the variation margin.  Under some circumstances, futures exchanges may establish daily limits on the amount that the price of a futures contract can vary from the previous day’s settlement price, thereby effectively preventing liquidation of unfavorable positions.  Losses may arise from changes in the value of the underlying instrument if the Fund is unable to liquidate a futures position due to an illiquid market for the contract, the imposition of price limits or the failure of counterparty to perform under the contract terms.  Futures contracts are generally valued at the settlement price established at the close of business each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded.  Because many foreign exchanges close prior to the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), closing prices for foreign futures in those markets or on those markets or on those exchanges do not reflect the events that occur after that close but before the close of the NYSE. As a result, the Fund generally values foreign futures using fair value prices, which are based on adjustments to closing prices supplied by a third party vendor based on that vendor’s proprietary models.

 

Options

 

The Fund may purchase put and call options.  A call option gives the holder the right to buy an asset; a put option gives the holder the right to sell an asset.  Purchasing options alters the Fund’s exposure to the underlying instrument by, in the case of a call option, entitling the Fund to purchase the underlying instrument at a set price from the writer of the option and, in the case of a put option, entitling the Fund to sell the underlying instrument at a set price to the writer of the option.  The Fund pays a premium for a purchased option.  That premium is disclosed in the Schedule of Investments and is subsequently marked to market to reflect the current value of the option.  Premiums paid for options that expire are treated as realized losses.  Premiums paid for options that are exercised or closed are deducted from the proceeds of the closing transaction to determine the realized gain or loss.  The risk associated with purchasing put and call options is limited to the premium paid.

 

The Fund may write (i.e., sell) call and put options.   Writing options alters the Fund’s exposure to the underlying instrument by, in the case of a call option, obligating the Fund to sell the underlying instrument at a set price to the option-holder and, in the case of a put option, obligating the Fund to purchase the underlying instrument at a set price from the option-holder. In some cases (e.g. index options), settlement will be in cash. When the Fund writes a call or put option, an amount equal to the premium received is recorded as a liability and subsequently marked to market to reflect the current value of the option written.  Premiums received from writing options that expire are treated as realized gains.  Premiums received from writing options that are exercised or closed are deducted from the amounts paid on the underlying future, security or currency transaction to determine the realized gain or loss.  The Fund as a writer of an option has no control over whether the underlying future, security or currency may be sold (call) or purchased (put) and as a result bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the future, security or currency underlying the option.  In the event that the Fund writes call or put options without an offsetting exposure (e.g. call options on a security that the Fund does not own), it bears the risk of substantial losses if the price of the underlying asset increases (calls) or decreases (puts) during the term of the option.  Options expose the Fund to the risk the Fund may not be able to enter into a closing transaction because of an illiquid market.

 



 

The Fund values exchange traded options at the last sale price, or if no sale is reported, the last bid price for options it has purchased and the last ask price for options it has written.  The Fund values options traded over-the-counter using inputs provided by primary pricing sources and industry models.

 

Swap agreements

 

The Fund may enter into various types of swap agreements, including without limitation, swaps on securities and securities indicies, interest rate swaps, total return swaps, credit default swaps, variance swaps, commodity swaps, inflation swaps and other types of available swaps.  A swap agreement is an agreement to exchange the return generated by one instrument for the return generated by another instrument.  Some swap contracts are net settled. When entering into a swap agreement, the Fund and/or the swap counterparty may post or receive cash or securities as collateral and will typically post or receive additional collateral as market values change.

 

Interest rate swap agreements involve an exchange by the parties of their respective commitments to pay or right to receive interest, e.g., an exchange of floating rate interest payments for fixed rate interest payments with respect to the notional amount of principal.

 

Total return swap agreements involve a commitment by one party to pay interest to the other party in exchange for a payment to it from the other party based on the return of a reference instrument (e.g., a security or basket of securities), both based on notional amounts. To the extent the return of the reference instrument exceeds or falls short of the interest payments, one party will receive a payment from or make a payment to the other party.

 

In a credit default swap agreement, one party makes payments to another party in exchange for the right to receive a specified return if a credit event occurs with respect to a referenced entity or entities.  Buying credit default protection reduces the buyer’s exposure (or increases negative exposure) in the event of an issuer’s default (e.g., it is intended to reduce risk where a party owns a security issued by or otherwise has exposure to the issuer).  Selling credit default protection subjects the seller to exposure to an issuer’s default or other credit events.  A seller of credit default protection receives payments in return for its obligation to pay the principal amount of a debt security (or other agreed-upon value) to the other party upon the occurrence of a credit event (e.g., issuer default or similar event).  If no credit event occurs, the seller has no payment obligations.    For credit default swap agreements on asset-backed securities, a credit event may be triggered by various events, which may include an issuer’s failure to pay interest or principal, a breach of a material representation or covenant, an agreement by the holders of an asset-backed security to a maturity extension, or a write-down on the collateral underlying the security. For credit default swap agreements on corporate or sovereign issuers, a credit event may be triggered by such events as the issuer’s bankruptcy, failure to pay interest or principal, repudiation/moratorium or restructuring.

 

Variance swap agreements involve an agreement by two parties to exchange cash flows based on the measured variance (or square of volatility) of a specified underlying asset. One party agrees to exchange a “fixed rate” or strike price payment for the “floating rate” or realized price variance on the underlying asset with respect to the notional amount. At inception, the strike price chosen is generally fixed at a level such that the fair value of the swap is zero. As a result, no money changes hands at the initiation of the contract. At the expiration date, the amount paid by one party to the other is the difference between the realized price variance of the underlying asset and the strike price multiplied by the notional amount. A receiver of the realized price variance would receive a payment when the realized price variance of the underlying asset is greater than the strike price and would make a payment when that variance is less than the strike price. A payer of the realized price variance would make a payment when the realized price variance of the underlying asset is greater than the strike price and would receive a payment when that variance is less than the strike price. This type of agreement is essentially a forward contract on the future realized price variance of the underlying asset.

 

The Fund prices its swap agreements daily using models that may incorporate quotations from market makers and records the change in value, if any, as unrealized gain or loss.  Payments received or made on swap agreements are recorded as realized gain or loss.  Gains or losses are realized upon termination of the swap agreements, or reset dates as appropriate.

 

Swap agreements generally are not traded on financial markets. The values assigned to them may differ significantly from the values that would be realized upon termination, and the differences could be material. Entering into swap agreements involves counterparty credit, legal, and documentation risk that is generally not reflected in the models used to price the swap agreement.  Such risks include the possibility that the party with whom the Fund contracts may default on its obligations to perform or disagree as to the meaning of contractual terms, that the Fund has amounts on deposit in excess of amounts owed by the Fund, or that the collateral the other party posts may be insufficient or not timely received by the Fund.  Specifically, the amount shown as owed to the Fund under a swap agreement is not reduced if there is uncertainty about the counterparty’s willingness or ability to pay. Credit risk is particularly acute in economic environments in which financial services firms are exposed to systemic risks of the type evidenced by the insolvency of Lehman Brothers in 2008 and subsequent market disruptions.

 

Investment risks

 

The Fund is subject to risks involved in investing in foreign securities that are not presented by investments in U.S. securities. These risks may involve adverse political and economic developments, including expropriation and the possible imposition of capital controls or other foreign governmental laws or restrictions. In addition, the securities of some foreign companies and securities markets are less liquid and at times may be more volatile than securities of comparable U.S. companies and U.S. securities markets.

 



 

Among other trading agreements, the Fund is party to International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreements (“ISDA Agreements”) with select counterparties that generally govern over-the-counter derivative transactions entered into by the Fund. The ISDA Master Agreements typically include representations and warranties as well as contractual terms related to collateral, events of default, termination events, and other provisions. Termination events include the decline in the net assets of the Fund below a certain level over a specified period of time and entitle a counterparty to elect to terminate early with respect to some or all the transactions under the ISDA Agreement with that counterparty. Such an election by one or more of the counterparties could have a material adverse impact on the Fund’s operations.  Due to declines in the net assets of the Fund prior to May 31, 2009, one or more counterparties are entitled to terminate early but none has taken such action.

 

Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities–Effective March 1, 2009, the Fund adopted FASB Statement of Financial Standards No. 161 “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS 161”). This standard is an amendment to FASB Statement No. 133 (“FASB 133”), “Accounting for Derivative Instruments” which expands the disclosure requirements of FASB 133 regarding an entity’s derivative instruments and hedging activities.

^^ As the Fund values its derivatives at fair value and recognizes changes in fair value through the statement of operations, it does not qualify for hedge accounting under FASB 133. The Fund’s investments in derivatives may represent an economic hedge; however, they are considered to be non-hedge transactions for the purpose of SFAS 161 disclosure.

(1)

Implied credit spreads, represented in absolute terms, utilized in determining the market value of credit default swap agreements on the reference security, as of May 31, 2009, serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk and reflect the likelihood or risk of default for the credit derivative. The implied credit spread of a particular referenced entity reflects the cost of buying/selling protection and may include upfront payments required to be made to enter into the agreement. Wider (i.e. higher) credit spreads represent a deterioration of the referenced entity’s credit soundness and a greater likelihood or risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the agreement.

(2)

The maximum potential amount the Fund could be required to make as a seller of credit protection if a credit event occurs as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement.

 

As of May 31, 2009, for the swap contracts held, the Fund had sufficient cash and/or securities to cover any commitments or collateral requirements of the relevant broker or exchange.

Portfolio valuation

 

Securities listed on a securities exchange for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price on each business day, or if there is no such reported sale or official closing price, at the most recent quoted bid price, or broker bid (if the private market is more relevant in determining market value than the exchange).  Unlisted securities for which market quotations are readily available are generally valued at the most recent quoted bid price.  Debt instruments with a remaining maturity of sixty days or less are generally valued at amortized cost.  Shares of investment funds are generally valued at their net asset value.  Securities for which quotations are not readily available or whose values the Manager has determined to be unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Trustees or persons acting at their direction pursuant to procedures approved by the Trustees.  Although the goal of fair valuation is to determine the amount the owner of the securities might reasonably expect to receive upon their current sale, because of the uncertainty inherent in fair value pricing, the value determined for a particular security may be materially different than the value realized upon its sale.  For information about the pricing of some specific positions (e.g. swaps) see descriptions below.

 

Typically the Fund and the underlying funds value debt instruments based on the most recent bid supplied by a single pricing source chosen by the Manager.  The Manager evaluates pricing sources on an ongoing basis, and may change a pricing source at any time.  The Manager normally does not evaluate the prices supplied by pricing sources on a day-to-day basis.  The Manager monitors erratic or unusual movements (including unusual inactivity) in the prices supplied for a security and has discretion to override a price supplied by a source (e.g., by taking a price supplied by another) when it believes that the price supplied is not reliable.  The prices provided by a pricing source may differ from the value that would be realized if the securities were sold, and the differences could be material. In addition, although alternative prices are available for other securities held by the Fund, those alternative sources would not necessarily confirm the security price used by the Fund. Therefore, the existence of those alternative sources does not necessarily provide greater certainty about the prices used by the Fund.  As of May 31, 2009, the total value of securities held directly and indirectly for which no alternative pricing source was available represented 16.92% of the net assets of the Fund.

 

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS 157”). While the adoption of SFAS 157 does not have an effect on the Fund’s net asset value, it does require additional disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 establishes a three-level hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements. The valuation hierarchy is based upon the reliability of inputs to the valuation of the Fund’s investments. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.  The three levels are defined as follows:

 

Level 1 – Valuations based on quoted prices for identical securities in active markets.

 

Level 2 – Valuations determined using other significant direct or indirect observable inputs.

 

Level 3 – Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant. The Fund utilized the following fair value techniques on Level 3 investments: The Fund valued certain debt securities and preferred stocks using a specified spread above the LIBOR rate.  The Fund also considered certain bankrupt securities to be worthless.

 

The following is a summary of the categorization of investments by inputs used as of May 31, 2009 in valuing the Fund’s investments:

Futures contracts

 

The Fund may purchase and sell futures contracts.  A futures contract is a contract that obligates the holder to buy or sell an asset at a predetermined delivery price during a specified future time period.  Some futures contracts are net (cash) settled. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to deposit cash, U.S. government and agency obligations, or other liquid assets with the futures clearing broker in accordance with the initial margin requirements of the broker or exchange.  Futures contracts are marked to market daily and an appropriate payable or receivable for the change in value (“variation margin”) is recorded by the Fund.  The payable or receivable is settled on the following business day.  Gains or losses are recognized but not considered realized until the contracts expire or are closed.  Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of the variation margin.  Under some circumstances, futures exchanges may establish daily limits on the amount that the price of a futures contract can vary from the previous day’s settlement price, thereby effectively preventing liquidation of unfavorable positions.  Losses may arise from changes in the value of the underlying instrument if the Fund is unable to liquidate a futures position due to an illiquid market for the contract, the imposition of price limits or the failure of counterparty to perform under the contract terms.  Futures contracts are generally valued at the settlement price established at the close of business each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded.

 

Options

 

The Fund may purchase put and call options.  A call option gives the holder the right to buy an asset; a put option gives the holder the right to sell an asset.  Purchasing options alters the Fund’s exposure to the underlying instrument by, in the case of a call option, entitling the Fund to purchase the underlying instrument at a set price from the writer of the option and, in the case of a put option, entitling the Fund to sell the underlying instrument at a set price to the writer of the option.  The Fund pays a premium for a purchased option.  That premium is disclosed in the Schedule of Investments and is subsequently marked to market to reflect the current value of the option.  Premiums paid for options that expire are treated as realized losses.  Premiums paid for options that are exercised or closed are deducted from the proceeds of the closing transaction to determine the realized gain or loss.  The risk associated with purchasing put and call options is limited to the premium paid.

 

The Fund may write (i.e., sell) call and put options.   Writing options alters the Fund’s exposure to the underlying instrument by, in the case of a call option, obligating the Fund to sell the underlying instrument at a set price to the option-holder and, in the case of a put option, obligating the Fund to purchase the underlying instrument at a set price from the option-holder. In some cases (e.g. index options), settlement will be in cash. When the Fund writes a call or put option, an amount equal to the premium received is recorded as a liability and subsequently marked to market to reflect the current value of the option written.  Premiums received from writing options that expire are treated as realized gains.  Premiums received from writing options that are exercised or closed are deducted from the amounts paid on the underlying future, security or currency transaction to determine the realized gain or loss.  The Fund as a writer of an option has no control

 



 

over whether the underlying future, security or currency may be sold (call) or purchased (put) and as a result bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the future, security or currency underlying the option.  In the event that the Fund writes call or put options without an offsetting exposure (e.g. call options on a security that the Fund does not own), it bears the risk of substantial losses if the price of the underlying asset increases (calls) or decreases (puts) during the term of the option.  Options expose the Fund to the risk the Fund may not be able to enter into a closing transaction because of an illiquid market.

 

The Fund values exchange traded options at the last sale price, or if no sale is reported, the last bid price for options it has purchased and the last ask price for options it has written.  The Fund values options traded over-the-counter using inputs provided by primary pricing sources and industry models.

 

Indexed securities

 

The Fund may invest in indexed securities.  Indexed securities are securities whose values and/or coupons are linked to the prices of a specific instrument, group of instruments or financial statistic.

 

Swap agreements

 

The Fund may enter into various types of swap agreements, including without limitation, swaps on securities and securities indicies, interest rate swaps, total return swaps, credit default swaps, variance swaps, commodity swaps, inflation swaps and other types of available swaps.  A swap agreement is an agreement to exchange the return generated by one instrument for the return generated by another instrument.  Some swap contracts are net settled. When entering into a swap agreement, the Fund and/or the swap counterparty may post or receive cash or securities as collateral and will typically post or receive additional collateral as market values change.

 

Interest rate swap agreements involve an exchange by the parties of their respective commitments to pay or right to receive interest, e.g., an exchange of floating rate interest payments for fixed rate interest payments with respect to the notional amount of principal.

 

Total return swap agreements involve a commitment by one party to pay interest to the other party in exchange for a payment to it from the other party based on the return of a reference instrument (e.g., a security or basket of securities), both based on notional amounts. To the extent the return of the reference instrument exceeds or falls short of the interest payments, one party will receive a payment from or make a payment to the other party.

 

In a credit default swap agreement, one party makes payments to another party in exchange for the right to receive a specified return if a credit event occurs with respect to a referenced entity or entities.  Buying credit default protection reduces the buyer’s exposure (or increases negative exposure) in the event of an issuer’s default (e.g., it is intended to reduce risk where a party owns a security issued by or otherwise has exposure to the issuer).  Selling credit default protection subjects the seller to exposure to an issuer’s default or other credit events.  A seller of credit default protection receives payments in return for its obligation to pay the principal amount of a debt security (or other agreed-upon value) to the other party upon the occurrence of a credit event (e.g., issuer default or similar event).  If no credit event occurs, the seller has no payment obligations.    For credit default swap agreements on asset-backed securities, a credit event may be triggered by various events, which may include an issuer’s failure to pay interest or principal, a breach of a material representation or covenant, an agreement by the holders of an asset-backed security to a maturity extension, or a write-down on the collateral underlying the security. For credit default swap agreements on corporate or sovereign issuers, a credit event may be triggered by such events as the issuer’s bankruptcy, failure to pay interest or principal, repudiation/moratorium or restructuring.

 

Variance swap agreements involve an agreement by two parties to exchange cash flows based on the measured variance (or square of volatility) of a specified underlying asset. One party agrees to exchange a “fixed rate” or strike price payment for the “floating rate” or realized price variance on the underlying asset with respect to the notional amount. At inception, the strike price chosen is generally fixed at a level such that the fair value of the swap is zero. As a result, no money changes hands at the initiation of the contract. At the expiration date, the amount paid by one party to the other is the difference between the realized price variance of the underlying asset and the strike price multiplied by the notional amount. A receiver of the realized price variance would receive a payment when the realized price variance of the underlying asset is greater than the strike price and would make a payment when that variance is less than the strike price. A payer of the realized price variance would make a payment when the realized price variance of the underlying asset is greater than the strike price and would receive a payment when that variance is less than the strike price. This type of agreement is essentially a forward contract on the future realized price variance of the underlying asset.

 

The Fund prices its swap agreements daily using models that may incorporate quotations from market makers and records the change in value, if any, as unrealized gain or loss.  Payments received or made on swap agreements are recorded as realized gain or loss.  Gains or losses are realized upon termination of the swap agreements, or reset dates as appropriate.

 

Swap agreements generally are not traded on financial markets. The values assigned to them may differ significantly from the values that would be realized upon termination, and the differences could be material. Entering into swap agreements involves counterparty credit, legal, and documentation risk that is generally not reflected in the models used to price the swap agreement.  Such risks include the

 



 

possibility that the party with whom the Fund contracts may default on its obligations to perform or disagree as to the meaning of contractual terms, that the Fund has amounts on deposit in excess of amounts owed by the Fund, or that the collateral the other party posts may be insufficient or not timely received by the Fund.  Specifically, the amount shown as owed to the Fund under a swap agreement is not reduced if there is uncertainty about the counterparty’s willingness or ability to pay. Credit risk is particularly acute in economic environments in which financial services firms are exposed to systemic risks of the type evidenced by the insolvency of Lehman Brothers in 2008 and subsequent market disruptions.

 

Reverse repurchase agreements

 

The Fund may enter into reverse repurchase agreements.  Under a reverse repurchase agreement the Fund sells portfolio assets subject to an agreement by the Fund to repurchase the same assets at a later date at a fixed price.  Also, if the buyer in a reverse repurchase agreement files for bankruptcy or becomes insolvent, the Fund may be unable to recover the securities it sold and as a result would realize a loss equal to the difference between the value of the securities and the payment it received for them.  This loss would be greater to the extent the buyer paid less than the value of the securities the Fund sold to it (e.g., a buyer may pay $95 for a bond with a market value of $100).  The Fund’s use of proceeds from the sale of its securities may be restricted while the other party or its trustee or receiver determines whether to honor the Fund’s right to repurchase the securities.

 

Investment risks

 

The Fund is subject to risks involved in investing in foreign securities that are not presented by investments in U.S. securities. These risks may involve adverse political and economic developments, including expropriation and the possible imposition of capital controls or other foreign governmental laws or restrictions. In addition, the securities of some foreign companies and securities markets are less liquid and at times may be more volatile than securities of comparable U.S. companies and U.S. securities markets. Also, fluctuations in exchange rates may adversely affect the U.S. dollar value of the Fund’s foreign currency holdings and investments denominated in foreign currency.  The risks described above apply to an even greater extent to investments in emerging countries. The securities markets of emerging countries are generally smaller, less developed, less liquid, and more volatile than the securities markets of the U.S. and developed foreign markets.  Additionally, the investment risks associated with an investment in the underlying funds may be greater to the extent that the underlying funds engage in derivative transactions.

 

The Fund invests (including through investment in underlying funds) in asset-backed securities, which may be backed in whole or in part by many types of assets, including pools of residential and commercial mortgages, automobile loans, educational loans, home equity loans, or credit-card receivables, which bring additional types of market risk.  Asset-backed securities also may be collateralized by the fees earned by service providers. They also may be backed by pools of corporate or sovereign bonds, bank loans made to corporations, or a combination of these bonds and loans (commonly referred to as “collateralized debt obligations”). Payment of interest on asset-backed securities and repayment of principal largely depend on the cash flows generated by the underlying assets backing the securities. The amount of market risk associated with asset-backed securities depends on many factors, including the deal structure (e.g., determination as to the amount of underlying assets or other support needed to produce the cash flows necessary to service interest and make principal payments), the quality of the underlying assets, the level of credit support, if any, provided for the securities, and the credit quality of the credit-support provider, if any.  Asset-backed securities involve risk of loss of principal if obligors of the underlying obligations default in payment of the obligations and the defaulted obligations exceed the credit support. The obligations of issuers (and obligors of underlying assets) also are subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, and other laws affecting the rights and remedies of creditors.  Many asset-backed securities are now rated below investment grade.

 

With the deterioration of worldwide economic and liquidity conditions that became acute in 2008, the markets for asset-backed securities became fractured and uncertainty about the creditworthiness of those securities (and underlying collateral) caused credit spreads (the difference between yields on the asset-backed securities and U.S. Government securities) to widen dramatically. Concurrently, systemic risks of the type evidenced by the insolvency of Lehman Brothers and subsequent market disruptions reduced the ability of financial institutions to make markets in many fixed income securities generally.  These events reduced liquidity for securitized credits and contributed to substantial declines in the value of asset-backed and other fixed income securities. There can be no assurance these conditions will not continue or that they will not deteriorate further. Also, government actions and proposals affecting the terms of underlying home and consumer loans, changes in demand for products (e.g., automobiles) financed by those loans, and the inability of borrowers to refinance existing loans (e.g., sub-prime mortgages), have had, and may continue to have, adverse valuation and liquidity effects on asset-backed securities. There can be no assurance that in the future the market for asset-backed securities will become more liquid.

 

The value of an asset-backed security may depend on the servicing of its underlying assets and is, therefore, subject to risks associated with the negligence or defalcation of its servicer. In some circumstances, the mishandling of related documentation also may affect the rights of security holders in and to the underlying collateral. The insolvency of entities that generate receivables or that utilize the assets may result in a decline in the value of the underlying assets, as well as costs and delays. 

 



 

In addition, asset-backed securities representing diverse sectors (e.g., auto loans, student loans, sub-prime mortgages, and credit-card receivables) have become more highly correlated since the deterioration of worldwide economic and liquidity conditions referred to above.

 

The Fund uses its cash balance to meet its derivative collateral obligations and for other purposes. There is no assurance that the Fund’s cash balance will be sufficient to meet its collateral obligations arising under its derivatives.  If it is not, the Fund would be required to liquidate other positions. That may include redeeming shares of GMO Short Duration Collateral Fund (“SDCF”) in which case the Fund would receive redemption proceeds in-kind from SDCF and would then be required to dispose of those assets (mostly asset-backed securities) in the current adverse market conditions.  To manage the Fund’s cash collateral needs in the current extraordinary market conditions, the Manager reserves the right to reduce or eliminate the Fund’s derivative exposures, including those that are intended to cause the Fund to track its benchmark more closely. A reduction in those exposures may tend to cause the performance of the Fund to track its benchmark less closely and make the Fund’s performance more dependent on the performance of the asset-backed securities it holds directly or indirectly.

 

To address in part the cash management issues described above, the Fund may effect nearly all significant redemptions of its shares in-kind. If redeeming shareholders from the Fund choose to sell assets received in-kind immediately and current adverse market conditions continue, they may experience difficulty selling the assets at favorable prices.  The Fund may establish de minimis amounts below which redemptions may be honored for cash. Amounts available for cash redemptions could be increased and/or redemption fees could be reduced if conditions in the bond market improve. These amounts can and will change without prior notice.

 

Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities–Effective March 1, 2009, the Fund adopted FASB Statement of Financial Standards No. 161 “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS 161”). This standard is an amendment to FASB Statement No. 133 (“FASB 133”), “Accounting for Derivative Instruments” which expands the disclosure requirements of FASB 133 regarding an entity’s derivative instruments and hedging activities.

 

The table below summarizes the fair values of derivatives held by the Fund at May 31, 2009 by risk category:

^^ As the Fund values its derivatives at fair value and recognizes changes in fair value through the statement of operations, it does not qualify for hedge accounting under FASB 133. The Fund’s investments in derivatives may represent an economic hedge; however, they are considered to be non-hedge transactions for the purpose of SFAS 161 disclosure.

 



 

The amounts presented above correspond with amounts in the Schedule of Investment for “Swap Agreements”.

 

On March 19, 2009, the Trustees approved GMO’s plan to maximize the amount of cash distributed to shareholders that represents receipts on its portfolio holdings (including shares of the underlying funds) and from dispositions of those holdings. The plan was adopted in light of the requirements of Section 562 (b) of the Code and calls for the Fund to cease operations within 2 years. For purposes of meeting that timetable, the Fund may distribute securities (including shares of the underlying funds) in-kind.

Portfolio valuation

 

Securities listed on a securities exchange for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price on each business day, or if there is no such reported sale or official closing price, at the most recent quoted bid price, or broker bid (if the private market is more relevant in determining market value than the exchange).  Unlisted securities for which market quotations are readily available are generally valued at the most recent quoted bid price.  Debt instruments with a remaining maturity of sixty days or less are generally valued at amortized cost.  Shares of investment funds are generally valued at their net asset value.  Securities for which quotations are not readily available or whose values the Manager has determined to be unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Trustees or persons acting at their direction pursuant to procedures approved by the Trustees.  Although the goal of fair valuation is to determine the amount the owner of the securities might reasonably expect to receive upon their current sale, because of the uncertainty inherent in fair value pricing, the value determined for a particular security may be materially different than the value realized upon its sale. For information about the pricing of some specific positions (e.g. swaps) see descriptions below. Because many foreign equity securities markets and exchanges close prior to the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), closing prices for foreign securities in those markets or on those exchanges do not reflect the events that occur after that close but before the close of the NYSE.  As a result, the Fund generally values foreign equity securities as of the NYSE close using fair value prices, which are based on adjustments to closing prices supplied by a third party vendor using that vendor’s proprietary models.  As of May 31, 2009, 64.76% of the net assets of the Fund were valued using fair value prices based on models used by that third party vendor and are classified as using level 2 inputs in the table below.

 

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS 157”). While the adoption of SFAS 157 does not have an effect on the Fund’s net asset value, it does require additional disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 establishes a three-level hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements. The valuation hierarchy is based upon the reliability of inputs to the valuation of the Fund’s investments. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.  The three levels are defined as follows:

 

Level 1 – Valuations based on quoted prices for identical securities in active markets.

 

Level 2 – Valuations determined using other significant direct or indirect observable inputs.

 

Level 3 – Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant. The Fund utilized the following fair value techniques on Level 3 investments: The Fund’s securities in Thailand were subject to a premium adjustment upon exceeding foreign ownership limitations.

 

The following is a summary of the categorization of investments by inputs used as of May 31, 2009 in valuing the Fund’s investments:

Foreign currency translation

 

The market values of foreign securities, currency holdings and related assets and liabilities are translated to U.S. dollars based on the 4 p.m. New York time exchange rates each business day.  Income and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the 4 p.m. New York time exchange rates on the business day the income and expenses are accrued or incurred.  The Fund does not isolate realized and unrealized gains and losses attributable to changes in exchange rates from gains and losses that arise from changes in the market value of investments.  Such fluctuations are included with net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments.  Net realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions represent gains and losses on disposition of currencies and forward currency contracts, currency gains and losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amount of investment income and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s accounting records and the U.S. dollar equivalent amounts actually received or paid.

 

Forward currency contracts

 

The Fund may enter into forward currency contracts, including forward cross currency contracts.  A forward currency contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell a currency at a set price on a future date (or to pay or receive the amounts of the change in relative values of the two currencies).  The market value of a forward currency contract fluctuates with changes in forward currency exchange rates.  Forward currency contracts are marked to market daily using rates supplied by a quotation service and changes in value are recorded by the Fund as unrealized gains or losses.  Realized gains or losses on the contracts are 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.  These contracts involve market risk in excess of the unrealized gain or loss.  They expose the Fund to the risk of unfavorable movements in currency values and the risk that the counterparty will be unable or unwilling to meet the terms of the contracts.

 

Rights and Warrants

 

A Fund may purchase or otherwise receive warrants or rights. Warrants and rights generally give the holder the right to receive, upon exercise, a security of the issuer at a stated price. Funds typically use warrants and rights in a manner similar to their use of options on securities, as described in Options below. Risks associated with the use of warrants and rights are generally similar to risks associated with the use of options. Unlike most options, however, warrants and rights are issued in specific amounts, and warrants generally have longer terms than options. Warrants and rights are not likely to be as liquid as exchange-traded options backed by a recognized clearing agency. In addition, the terms of warrants or rights may limit a Fund’s ability to exercise the warrants or rights at such time, or in such quantities, as the Fund would otherwise wish.

 

Futures contracts

 

The Fund may purchase and sell futures contracts.  A futures contract is a contract that obligates the holder to buy or sell an asset at a predetermined delivery price during a specified future time period.  Some futures contracts are net (cash) settled. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to deposit cash, U.S. government and agency obligations, or other liquid assets with the futures clearing broker in accordance with the initial margin requirements of the broker or exchange.  Futures contracts are marked to market daily and an appropriate payable or receivable for the change in value (“variation margin”) is recorded by the Fund.  The payable or receivable is settled on the following business day.  Gains or losses are recognized but not considered realized until the contracts expire or are closed.  Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of the variation margin.  Under some circumstances, futures exchanges may establish daily limits on the amount that the price of a futures contract can vary from the previous day’s settlement price, thereby effectively preventing liquidation of unfavorable positions.  Losses may arise from changes in the value of the underlying instrument if the Fund is unable to liquidate a futures position due to an illiquid market for the contract, the imposition of price limits or the failure of counterparty to perform under the contract terms.  Futures contracts are generally valued at the settlement price established each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded. Because many foreign exchanges close prior to the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), closing prices for foreign futures in those markets or on those markets or on those exchanges do not reflect the events that occur after that close but before the close of the NYSE. As a result, the Fund generally values foreign futures using fair value prices, which are based on adjustments to closing prices supplied by a third party vendor based on that vendor’s proprietary models.

 

Options

 

The Fund may purchase put and call options.  A call option gives the holder the right to buy an asset; a put option gives the holder the right to sell an asset.  Purchasing options alters the Fund’s exposure to the underlying instrument by, in the case of a call option, entitling the Fund to purchase the underlying instrument at a set price from the writer of the option and, in the case of a put option, entitling the Fund to sell the underlying instrument at a set price to the writer of the option.  The Fund pays a premium for a purchased option.  That premium is disclosed in the Schedule of Investments and is subsequently marked to market to reflect the current value of the option.  Premiums paid for options that expire are treated as realized losses.  Premiums paid for options that are exercised or closed are deducted from the proceeds of the closing transaction to determine the realized gain or loss.  The risk associated with purchasing put and call options is limited to the premium paid.

 



 

The Fund may write (i.e., sell) call and put options.   Writing options alters the Fund’s exposure to the underlying instrument by, in the case of a call option, obligating the Fund to sell the underlying instrument at a set price to the option-holder and, in the case of a put option, obligating the Fund to purchase the underlying instrument at a set price from the option-holder. In some cases (e.g. index options), settlement will be in cash. When the Fund writes a call or put option, an amount equal to the premium received is recorded as a liability and subsequently marked to market to reflect the current value of the option written.  Premiums received from writing options that expire are treated as realized gains.  Premiums received from writing options that are exercised or closed are deducted from the amounts paid on the underlying future, security or currency transaction to determine the realized gain or loss.  The Fund as a writer of an option has no control over whether the underlying future, security or currency may be sold (call) or purchased (put) and as a result bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the future, security or currency underlying the option.  In the event that the Fund writes call or put options without an offsetting exposure (e.g. call options on a security that the Fund does not own), it bears the risk of substantial losses if the price of the underlying asset increases (calls) or decreases (puts) during the term of the option.  Options expose the Fund to the risk the Fund may not be able to enter into a closing transaction because of an illiquid market.

 

The Fund values exchange traded options at the last sale price, or if no sale is reported, the last bid price for options it has purchased and the last ask price for options it has written.  The Fund values options traded over-the-counter using inputs provided by primary pricing sources and industry models.

 

Indexed securities

 

The Fund may invest in indexed securities.  Indexed securities are securities whose values and/or coupons are linked to the prices of a specific instrument, group of instruments or financial statistic.

 

Swap agreements

 

The Fund may enter into various types of swap agreements, including without limitation, swaps on securities and securities indices, interest rate swaps, total return swaps, credit default swaps, variance swaps, commodity swaps, inflation swaps and other types of available swaps.  A swap agreement is an agreement to exchange the return generated by one instrument for the return generated by another instrument.  Some swap contracts are net settled. When entering into a swap agreement, the Fund and/or the swap counterparty may post or receive cash or securities as collateral and will typically post or receive additional collateral as market values change.

 

Interest rate swap agreements involve an exchange by the parties of their respective commitments to pay or right to receive interest, e.g., an exchange of floating rate interest payments for fixed rate interest payments with respect to the notional amount of principal.

 

Total return swap agreements involve a commitment by one party to pay interest to the other party in exchange for a payment to it from the other party based on the return of a reference instrument (e.g., a security or basket of securities), both based on notional amounts. To the extent the return of the reference instrument exceeds or falls short of the interest payments, one party will receive a payment from or make a payment to the other party.

 

In a credit default swap agreement, one party makes payments to another party in exchange for the right to receive a specified return if a credit event occurs with respect to a referenced entity or entities.  Buying credit default protection reduces the buyer’s exposure (or increases negative exposure) in the event of an issuer’s default (e.g., it is intended to reduce risk where a party owns a security issued by or otherwise has exposure to the issuer).  Selling credit default protection subjects the seller to exposure to an issuer’s default or other credit events.  A seller of credit default protection receives payments in return for its obligation to pay the principal amount of a debt security (or other agreed-upon value) to the other party upon the occurrence of a credit event (e.g., issuer default or similar event).  If no credit event occurs, the seller has no payment obligations.  For credit default swap agreements on asset-backed securities, a credit event may be triggered by various events, which may include an issuer’s failure to pay interest or principal, a breach of a material representation or covenant, an agreement by the holders of an asset-backed security to a maturity extension, or a write-down on the collateral underlying the security.  For credit default swap agreements on corporate or sovereign issuers, a credit event may be triggered by such events as the issuer’s bankruptcy, failure to pay interest or principal, repudiation/moratorium or restructuring.

 

Variance swap agreements involve an agreement by two parties to exchange cash flows based on the measured variance (or square of volatility) of a specified underlying asset. One party agrees to exchange a “fixed rate” or strike price payment for the “floating rate” or realized price variance on the underlying asset with respect to the notional amount. At inception, the strike price chosen is generally fixed at a level such that the fair value of the swap is zero. As a result, no money changes hands at the initiation of the contract. At the expiration date, the amount paid by one party to the other is the difference between the realized price variance of the underlying asset and the strike price multiplied by the notional amount. A receiver of the realized price variance would receive a payment when the realized price variance of the underlying asset is greater than the strike price and would make a payment when that variance is less than the strike price. A payer of the realized price variance would make a payment when the realized price variance of the underlying asset is greater than the strike price and would receive a payment when that variance is less than the strike price. This type of agreement is essentially a forward contract on the future realized price variance of the underlying asset.

 



 

The Fund prices its swap agreements daily using models that may incorporate quotations from market makers and records the change in value, if any, as unrealized gain or loss.  Payments received or made on swap agreements are recorded as realized gain or loss.  Gains or losses are realized upon termination of the swap agreements, or reset dates as appropriate.

 

Swap agreements generally are not traded on financial markets. The values assigned to them may differ significantly from the values that would be realized upon termination, and the differences could be material. Entering into swap agreements involves counterparty credit, legal, and documentation risk that is generally not reflected in the models used to price the swap agreement.  Such risks include the possibility that the party with whom the Fund contracts may default on its obligations to perform or disagree as to the meaning of contractual terms, that the Fund has amounts on deposit in excess of amounts owed by the Fund, or that the collateral the other party posts may be insufficient or not timely received by the Fund.  Specifically, the amount shown as owed to the Fund under a swap agreement is not reduced if there is uncertainty about the counterparty’s willingness or ability to pay.  Credit risk is particularly acute in economic environments in which financial services firms are exposed to systemic risks of the type evidenced by the insolvency of Lehman Brothers in 2008 and subsequent market disruptions.

 

Investment risks

 

Investments in securities of issuers in emerging countries present risks that are not presented by many other investments. Many emerging countries are subject to political and/or economic instability.  The securities markets of emerging countries are generally smaller and less developed than the securities markets of the U.S. and developed foreign markets. Further, countries may expropriate, or impose various types of foreign currency regulations or controls that impede the Fund’s ability to repatriate, amounts it receives.   Also, fluctuations in exchange rates may adversely affect the U.S. dollar value of the Fund’s foreign currency holdings and investments denominated in foreign currency.  These factors may result in significant volatility in the values of the Fund’s holdings. The markets in emerging countries are typically less liquid than those of developed markets.  Accordingly, the Fund may not be able to realize in an actual sale amounts approximating the values it has placed on its holdings.

 

Some non-U.S. markets require foreign investors to obtain a license to invest in such markets. A license to invest in such markets may be subject to various limitations, including maximum investment amounts. Once a license is obtained, a Fund’s ability to continue to invest directly in such markets is subject to the risk that the license will be terminated or suspended. If the license were terminated or suspended, the Fund would be required to seek exposure to the market through the purchase of American Depositary Receipts, Global Depository Receipts, shares of other funds that are licensed to invest directly, or derivative instruments. The receipt of a foreign license by one of GMO’s clients may preclude other clients, including a Fund, from obtaining a similar license, and this could limit the Fund’s investment opportunities. In addition, the activities of other GMO clients could cause the suspension or a revocation of such a license and could thereby limit the Funds’ investment opportunities.

 

Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities–Effective March 1, 2009, the Fund adopted FASB Statement of Financial Standards No. 161 “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS 161”). This standard is an amendment to FASB Statement No. 133 (“FASB 133”), which expands the disclosure requirements of FASB 133 regarding an entity’s derivative instruments and hedging activities.

 

The Fund adopted SFAS 161 on March 1, 2009. As of May 31, 2009, the Fund held no derivative contracts for the purposes of SFAS 161.

^

Receive - Fund receives premium and sells credit protection.

 

(Pay) - Fund pays premium and buys credit protection.

(1)

Implied credit spreads, represented in absolute terms, utilized in determining the market value of credit default swap agreements on the reference security, as of May 31, 2009, serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk and reflect the likelihood or risk of default for the credit derivative. The implied credit spread of a particular referenced entity reflects the cost of buying/selling protection and may include upfront payments required to be made to enter into the agreement. Wider (i.e. higher) credit spreads represent a deterioration of the referenced entity’s credit soundness and a greater likelihood or risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the agreement.

(2)

The maximum potential amount the Fund could be required to make as a seller of credit protection if a credit event occurs as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement.

*

Non-income producing security.

(a)

Security is in default.

 



 

(b)

Security valued at fair value using methods determined in good faith by or at the direction of the Trustees of GMO Trust.

(c)

Indexed security in which price and/or coupon is linked to the prices of a specific instrument or financial statistic.

(d)

In July 2005, the Fund entered into litigation against the Government of Argentina (“Argentina”) relating to Argentina’s failure to make payments on sovereign debt held by the Fund. That debt, which continues to be valued according to the Fund’s valuation policy, represents 1.23% of the net assets of the Fund as of May 31, 2009. Judgments were awarded in the Fund’s favor on September 24, 2007; however, the Fund’s ability to collect on those judgments remains uncertain and transfer of those judgements require court approval. Costs associated with this action are begin borne by the Fund.

(e)

All or a portion of this security has been pledged to cover margin requirements on open financial futures contracts and/or collateral on open swap contracts.

(f)

Non-performing. Borrower not currently paying interest.

(g)

Past due maturity payment.

(h)

Underlying investment represents interests in defaulted securities.

(i)

Although the Fund acquired the warrants between 2000 and 2002 (in connection with the Fund’s purchase of Venezuelan bonds), the warrants (and related payments on the warrants) have not been received in custody.  The Fund’s trading counterparties have acknowledged their delivery obligations.  However, because there can be no assurance that the Fund will receive the warrants (and related payments), the Fund values the warrants (and related payments) at a discount from their market value.

 



 

Portfolio valuation

 

Securities listed on a securities exchange for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price on each business day, or if there is no such reported sale or official closing price, at the most recent quoted bid price, or broker bid (if the private market is more relevant in determining market value than the exchange).  Unlisted securities for which market quotations are readily available are generally valued at the most recent quoted bid price.  Debt instruments with a remaining maturity of sixty days or less are generally valued at amortized cost.  Shares of investment funds are generally valued at their net asset value.  Securities for which quotations are not readily available or whose values the Manager has determined to be unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Trustees or persons acting at their direction pursuant to procedures approved by the Trustees.  Although the goal of fair valuation is to determine the amount the owner of the securities might reasonably expect to receive upon their current sale, because of the uncertainty inherent in fair value pricing, the value determined for a particular security may be materially different than the value realized upon its sale.  For information about the pricing of some specific positions (e.g. swaps) see descriptions below.

 

Typically the Fund and the underlying funds value debt instruments based on the most recent bid supplied by a single pricing source chosen by the Manager.  The Manager evaluates pricing sources on an ongoing basis, and may change a pricing source at any time.  The Manager normally does not evaluate the prices supplied by pricing sources on a day-to-day basis.  The Manager monitors erratic or unusual movements (including unusual inactivity) in the prices supplied for a security and has discretion to override a price supplied by a source (e.g., by taking a price supplied by another) when it believes that the price supplied is not reliable.  The prices provided by a pricing source may differ from the value that would be realized if the securities were sold, and the differences could be material. In addition, although alternative prices are available for other securities held by the Fund, those alternative sources would not necessarily confirm the security price used by the Fund. Therefore, the existence of those alternative sources does not necessarily provide greater certainty about the prices used by the Fund.  As of May 31, 2009, the total value of securities held directly and indirectly for which no alternative pricing source was available represented 27.25% of the net assets of the Fund.

 

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS 157”). While the adoption of SFAS 157 does not have an effect on the Fund’s net asset value, it does require additional disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 establishes a three-level hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements. The valuation hierarchy is based upon the reliability of inputs to the valuation of the Fund’s investments. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.  The three levels are defined as follows:

 

Level 1 – Valuations based on quoted prices for identical securities in active markets.

 

Level 2 – Valuations determined using other significant direct or indirect observable inputs.

 

Level 3 – Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant. The Fund utilized the following fair value techniques on level 3 investments: The Fund valued certain debt securities using a specified spread above the country specific LIBOR rate.  The Fund valued certain debt securities using bids received from primary pricing sources.  The Fund valued certain debt securities using bids received from primary pricing sources adjusted by a specified discount for liquidity considerations.  The Fund valued certain debt securities using comparable securities issued by the same country adjusted by a specified spread.  The Fund also valued certain credit default swaps using industry standard models (or non-conventional models to the extent industry standard models are not appropriate) and inputs from pricing vendors.

Foreign currency translation

 

The market values of foreign securities, currency holdings and related assets and liabilities are translated to U.S. dollars based on the 4 p.m. New York time exchange rates each business day.  Income and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the 4 p.m. New York time exchange rates on the business day the income and expenses are accrued or incurred.  The Fund does not isolate realized and unrealized gains and losses attributable to changes in exchange rates from gains and losses that arise from changes in the market value of investments.  Such fluctuations are included with net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments.  Net realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions represent gains and losses on disposition of currencies and forward currency contracts, currency gains and losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amount of investment income and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s accounting records and the U.S. dollar equivalent amounts actually received or paid.

 

Forward currency contracts

 

The Fund may enter into forward currency contracts, including forward cross currency contracts.  A forward currency contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell a currency at a set price on a future date (or to pay or receive the amounts of the change in relative values of the two currencies).  The market value of a forward currency contract fluctuates with changes in forward currency exchange rates.  Forward currency contracts are marked to market daily using rates supplied by a quotation service and changes in value are recorded by the Fund as unrealized gains or losses.  Realized gains or losses on the contracts are 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.  These contracts involve market risk in excess of the unrealized gain or loss.  They expose the Fund to the risk of unfavorable movements in currency values and the risk that the counterparty will be unable or unwilling to meet the terms of the contracts.

 

Rights and Warrants

 

A Fund may purchase or otherwise receive warrants or rights. Warrants and rights generally give the holder the right to receive, upon exercise, a security of the issuer at a stated price. Funds typically use warrants and rights in a manner similar to their use of options on securities, as described in Options below. Risks associated with the use of warrants and rights are generally similar to risks associated with the use of options. Unlike most options, however, warrants and rights are issued in specific amounts, and warrants generally have longer terms than options. Warrants and rights are not likely to be as liquid as exchange-traded options backed by a recognized clearing agency. In addition, the terms of warrants or rights may limit a Fund’s ability to exercise the warrants or rights at such time, or in such quantities, as the Fund would otherwise wish.

 

Futures contracts

 

The Fund may purchase and sell futures contracts.  A futures contract is a contract that obligates the holder to buy or sell an asset at a predetermined delivery price during a specified future time period.  Some futures contracts are net (cash) settled. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to deposit cash, U.S. government and agency obligations, or other liquid assets with the futures clearing broker in accordance with the initial margin requirements of the broker or exchange.  Futures contracts are marked to market daily and an appropriate payable or receivable for the change in value (“variation margin”) is recorded by the Fund.  The payable or receivable is settled on the following business day.  Gains or losses are recognized but not considered realized until the contracts expire or are closed.  Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of the variation margin.  Under some circumstances, futures exchanges may establish daily limits on the amount that the price of a futures contract can vary from the previous day’s settlement price, thereby effectively preventing liquidation of unfavorable positions.  Losses may arise from changes in the value of the underlying instrument if the Fund is unable to liquidate a futures position due to an illiquid market

 



 

for the contract, the imposition of price limits or the failure of counterparty to perform under the contract terms.  Futures contracts are generally valued at the settlement price established at the close of business each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded.

 

Options

 

The Fund may purchase put and call options.  A call option gives the holder the right to buy an asset; a put option gives the holder the right to sell an asset.  Purchasing options alters the Fund’s exposure to the underlying instrument by, in the case of a call option, entitling the Fund to purchase the underlying instrument at a set price from the writer of the option and, in the case of a put option, entitling the Fund to sell the underlying instrument at a set price to the writer of the option.  The Fund pays a premium for a purchased option.  That premium is disclosed in the Schedule of Investments and is subsequently marked to market to reflect the current value of the option.  Premiums paid for options that expire are treated as realized losses.  Premiums paid for options that are exercised or closed are deducted from the proceeds of the closing transaction to determine the realized gain or loss.  The risk associated with purchasing put and call options is limited to the premium paid.

 

The Fund may write (i.e., sell) call and put options.  Writing options alters the Fund’s exposure to the underlying instrument by, in the case of a call option, obligating the Fund to sell the underlying instrument at a set price to the option-holder and, in the case of a put option, obligating the Fund to purchase the underlying instrument at a set price from the option-holder. In some cases (e.g. index options), settlement will be in cash. When the Fund writes a call or put option, an amount equal to the premium received is recorded as a liability and subsequently marked to market to reflect the current value of the option written.  Premiums received from writing options that expire are treated as realized gains.  Premiums received from writing options that are exercised or closed are deducted from the amounts paid on the underlying future, security or currency transaction to determine the realized gain or loss.  The Fund as a writer of an option has no control over whether the underlying future, security or currency may be sold (call) or purchased (put) and as a result bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the future, security or currency underlying the option.  In the event that the Fund writes call or put options without an offsetting exposure (e.g. call options on a security that the Fund does not own), it bears the risk of substantial losses if the price of the underlying asset increases (calls) or decreases (puts) during the term of the option.  Options expose the Fund to the risk the Fund may not be able to enter into a closing transaction because of an illiquid market.

 

The Fund values exchange traded options at the last sale price, or if no sale is reported, the last bid price for options it has purchased and the last ask price for options it has written.  The Fund values options traded over-the-counter using inputs provided by primary pricing sources and industry models.

 

Loan agreements

 

The Fund may invest in loans to corporate, governmental, or other borrowers. The Fund’s investments in loans may be in the form of participations in loans or assignments of all or a portion of loans from third parties.  A loan is often administered by a bank or other financial institution (the “lender”) that acts as agent for all holders. The agent administers the terms of the loan, as specified in the loan agreement.  When investing in a loan participation, (i) the Fund has the right to receive payments of principal, interest and any fees to which it is entitled only from the lender selling the participation in the loan agreement and only upon receipt by the lender of payments from the borrower and (ii) the Fund generally has no right to enforce compliance by the borrower with the terms of the loan agreement. As a result, the Fund may be subject to the credit risk of both the borrower and the lender that has sold the participation in the loan agreement.  When the Fund purchases assignments from lenders, it acquires direct rights against the borrower on the loan.

 

Indexed securities

 

The Fund may invest in indexed securities.  Indexed securities are securities whose values and/or coupons are linked to the prices of a specific instrument, group of instruments or financial statistic.

 

Swap agreements

 

The Fund may enter into various types of swap agreements, including without limitation, swaps on securities and securities indices, interest rate swaps, total return swaps, credit default swaps, variance swaps, commodity swaps, inflation swaps and other types of available swaps.  A swap agreement is an agreement to exchange the return generated by one instrument for the return generated by another instrument.  Some swap contracts are net settled. When entering into a swap agreement, the Fund and/or the swap counterparty may post or receive cash or securities as collateral and will typically post or receive additional collateral as market values change.

 

Interest rate swap agreements involve an exchange by the parties of their respective commitments to pay or right to receive interest, e.g., an exchange of floating rate interest payments for fixed rate interest payments with respect to the notional amount of principal.

 

Total return swap agreements involve a commitment by one party to pay interest to the other party in exchange for a payment to it from the other party based on the return of a reference instrument (e.g., a security or basket of securities), both based on notional amounts. To the extent the return of the reference instrument exceeds or falls short of the interest payments, one party will receive a payment from or make a payment to the other party.

 



 

In a credit default swap agreement, one party makes payments to another party in exchange for the right to receive a specified return if a credit event occurs with respect to a referenced entity or entities.  Buying credit default protection reduces the buyer’s exposure (or increases negative exposure) in the event of an issuer’s default (e.g., it is intended to reduce risk where a party owns a security issued by or otherwise has exposure to the issuer).  Selling credit default protection subjects the seller to exposure to an issuer’s default or other credit events.  A seller of credit default protection receives payments in return for its obligation to pay the principal amount of a debt security (or other agreed-upon value) to the other party upon the occurrence of a credit event (e.g., issuer default or similar event).  If no credit event occurs, the seller has no payment obligations.  For credit default swap agreements on asset-backed securities, a credit event may be triggered by various events, which may include an issuer’s failure to pay interest or principal, a breach of a material representation or covenant, an agreement by the holders of an asset-backed security to a maturity extension, or a write-down on the collateral underlying the security.  For credit default swap agreements on corporate or sovereign issuers, a credit event may be triggered by such events as the issuer’s bankruptcy, failure to pay interest or principal, repudiation/moratorium or restructuring.

 

Variance swap agreements involve an agreement by two parties to exchange cash flows based on the measured variance (or square of volatility) of a specified underlying asset. One party agrees to exchange a “fixed rate” or strike price payment for the “floating rate” or realized price variance on the underlying asset with respect to the notional amount. At inception, the strike price chosen is generally fixed at a level such that the fair value of the swap is zero. As a result, no money changes hands at the initiation of the contract. At the expiration date, the amount paid by one party to the other is the difference between the realized price variance of the underlying asset and the strike price multiplied by the notional amount. A receiver of the realized price variance would receive a payment when the realized price variance of the underlying asset is greater than the strike price and would make a payment when that variance is less than the strike price. A payer of the realized price variance would make a payment when the realized price variance of the underlying asset is greater than the strike price and would receive a payment when that variance is less than the strike price. This type of agreement is essentially a forward contract on the future realized price variance of the underlying asset.

 

The Fund prices its swap agreements daily using models that may incorporate quotations from market makers and records the change in value, if any, as unrealized gain or loss.  Payments received or made on swap agreements are recorded as realized gain or loss.  Gains or losses are realized upon termination of the swap agreements, or reset dates as appropriate.

 

Swap agreements generally are not traded on financial markets. The values assigned to them may differ significantly from the values that would be realized upon termination, and the differences could be material. Entering into swap agreements involves counterparty credit, legal, and documentation risk that is generally not reflected in the models used to price the swap agreement.  Such risks include the possibility that the party with whom the Fund contracts may default on its obligations to perform or disagree as to the meaning of contractual terms, that the Fund has amounts on deposit in excess of amounts owed by the Fund, or that the collateral the other party posts may be insufficient or not timely received by the Fund.  Specifically, the amount shown as owed to the Fund under a swap agreement is not reduced if there is uncertainty about the counterparty’s willingness or ability to pay.  Credit risk is particularly acute in economic environments in which financial services firms are exposed to systemic risks of the type evidenced by the insolvency of Lehman Brothers in 2008 and subsequent market disruptions.

 

Reverse repurchase agreements

 

The Fund may enter into reverse repurchase agreements.  Under a reverse repurchase agreement the Fund sells portfolio assets subject to an agreement by the Fund to repurchase the same assets at a later date at a fixed price.  Also, if the buyer in a reverse repurchase agreement files for bankruptcy or becomes insolvent, the Fund may be unable to recover the securities it sold and as a result would realize a loss equal to the difference between the value of the securities and the payment it received for them.  This loss would be greater to the extent the buyer paid less than the value of the securities the Fund sold to it (e.g., a buyer may pay $95 for a bond with a market value of $100).  The Fund’s use of proceeds from the sale of its securities may be restricted while the other party or its trustee or receiver determines whether to honor the Fund’s right to repurchase the securities.  As of May 31, 2009, the Fund had entered into reverse repurchase agreements, plus accrued interest, amounting to $1,968,931, involving securities with a market value, plus accrued interest, of $2,000,000.

 

Investment risks

 

Investments in emerging country debt present risks that are not presented by many other securities.  Many emerging countries are subject to political and/or economic instability, which may result in the Fund’s inability to collect on a timely basis, or in full, principal and interest payments.  Further, countries may expropriate, or impose various types of foreign currency regulations or controls that impede the Fund’s ability to repatriate, amounts it receives.  These factors may result in significant volatility in the values of the Fund’s holdings.  The markets for emerging country debt are typically less liquid than those of developed markets.  In addition, fluctuations in exchange rates may adversely affect the U.S. dollar value of the Fund’s foreign currency holdings and investments denominated in foreign currency.

 

The Fund has exposure to many countries that subject it to a significant risk of default including through credit default swap contracts where the Fund has sold credit protection.  Its largest exposures are in Russia, the United States, the Philippines, Venezuela and Brazil. The Fund’s financial position could be adversely affected (depending on whether the Fund sold or bought the credit protection) in the event of a

 



 

default by any of these countries on obligations held by the Fund, obligations referenced in those credit default swaps or obligations issued by them generally.  The Fund also makes extensive use of derivatives, which rely on the creditworthiness of the counterparty.

 

The Fund invests (including through investment in underlying funds) in asset-backed securities, which may be backed in whole or in part by many types of assets, including pools of residential and commercial mortgages, automobile loans, educational loans, home equity loans, or credit-card receivables, which bring additional types of market risk.  Asset-backed securities also may be collateralized by the fees earned by service providers. They also may be backed by pools of corporate or sovereign bonds, bank loans made to corporations, or a combination of these bonds and loans (commonly referred to as “collateralized debt obligations”). Payment of interest on asset-backed securities and repayment of principal largely depend on the cash flows generated by the underlying assets backing the securities. The amount of market risk associated with asset-backed securities depends on many factors, including the deal structure (e.g., determination as to the amount of underlying assets or other support needed to produce the cash flows necessary to service interest and make principal payments), the quality of the underlying assets, the level of credit support, if any, provided for the securities, and the credit quality of the credit-support provider, if any.  Asset-backed securities involve risk of loss of principal if obligors of the underlying obligations default in payment of the obligations and the defaulted obligations exceed the credit support. The obligations of issuers (and obligors of underlying assets) also are subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, and other laws affecting the rights and remedies of creditors.  Many asset-backed securities are now rated below investment grade.

 

With the deterioration of worldwide economic and liquidity conditions that became acute in 2008, the markets for asset-backed securities became fractured and uncertainty about the creditworthiness of those securities (and underlying collateral) caused credit spreads (the difference between yields on the asset-backed securities and U.S. Government securities) to widen dramatically. Concurrently, systemic risks of the type evidenced by the insolvency of Lehman Brothers and subsequent market disruptions reduced the ability of financial institutions to make markets in many fixed income securities generally. These events reduced liquidity for securitized credits and contributed to substantial declines in the value of asset-backed and other fixed income securities. There can be no assurance these conditions will not continue or that they will not deteriorate further. Also, government actions and proposals affecting the terms of underlying home and consumer loans, changes in demand for products (e.g., automobiles) financed by those loans, and the inability of borrowers to refinance existing loans (e.g., sub-prime mortgages), have had, and may continue to have, adverse valuation and liquidity effects on asset-backed securities. There can be no assurance that in the future the market for asset-backed securities will become more liquid.

 

The value of an asset-backed security may depend on the servicing of its underlying assets and is, therefore, subject to risks associated with the negligence or defalcation of its servicer. In some circumstances, the mishandling of related documentation also may affect the rights of security holders in and to the underlying collateral. The insolvency of entities that generate receivables or that utilize the assets may result in a decline in the value of the underlying assets, as well as costs and delays.  In addition, asset-backed securities representing diverse sectors (e.g., auto loans, student loans, sub-prime mortgages, and credit-card receivables) have become more highly correlated since the deterioration of worldwide economic and liquidity conditions referred to above. 

 

The Fund uses its cash balance to meet its derivative collateral obligations and for other purposes. There is no assurance that the Fund’s cash balance will be sufficient to meet its collateral obligations arising under its derivatives.  If it is not, the Fund would be required to liquidate other positions. That may include redeeming shares of GMO Short Duration Collateral Fund (“SDCF”) and/or GMO World Opportunity Overlay Fund (“WOOF”), in which case the Fund would receive redemption proceeds in-kind from SDCF and/or WOOF and would then be required to dispose of those assets (mostly asset-backed securities) in the current adverse market conditions.  To manage the Fund’s cash collateral needs in the current extraordinary market conditions, the Manager reserves the right to reduce or eliminate the Fund’s derivative exposures, including those that are intended to cause the Fund to track its benchmark more closely. A reduction in those exposures may tend to cause the performance of the Fund to track its benchmark less closely and make the Fund’s performance more dependent on the performance of the asset-backed securities it holds directly or indirectly.

 

To address in part the cash management issues described above, the Fund may effect nearly all significant redemptions of its shares in-kind.  If redeeming shareholders from the Fund choose to sell assets received in-kind immediately and current adverse market conditions continue, they may experience difficulty selling the assets at favorable prices.  The Fund may establish de minimis amounts below which redemptions may be honored for cash. Amounts available for cash redemptions could be increased and/or redemption fees could be reduced if conditions in the bond market improve. These amounts can and will change without prior notice.

 



 

Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities–Effective March 1, 2009, the Fund adopted FASB Statement of Financial Standards No. 161 “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS 161”). This standard is an amendment to FASB Statement No. 133 (“FASB 133”), “Accounting for Derivative Instruments” which expands the disclosure requirements of FASB 133 regarding an entity’s derivative instruments and hedging activities.

 

The table below summarizes the fair values of derivatives held by the Fund at May 31, 2009 by risk category:

^^ As the Fund values its derivatives at fair value and recognizes changes in fair value through the statement of operations, it does not qualify for hedge accounting under FASB 133. The Fund’s investments in derivatives may represent an economic hedge; however, they are considered to be non-hedge transactions for the purpose of SFAS 161 disclosure.

 

The amounts above correspond with amounts in the Schedule of Investments for “Futures Contracts”, “Forward Currency Contracts”, “Swap Agreements” and “Options Purchased”.

Portfolio valuation

 

Securities listed on a securities exchange for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price on each business day, or if there is no such reported sale or official closing price, at the most recent quoted bid price, or broker bid (if the private market is more relevant in determining market value than the exchange).  Unlisted securities for which market quotations are readily available are generally valued at the most recent quoted bid price.  Debt instruments with a remaining maturity of sixty days or less are generally valued at amortized cost.  Shares of investment funds are generally valued at their net asset value.  Securities for which quotations are not readily available or whose values the Manager has determined to be unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Trustees or persons acting at their direction pursuant to procedures approved by the Trustees.  Although the goal of fair valuation is to determine the amount the owner of the securities might reasonably expect to receive upon their current sale, because of the uncertainty inherent in fair value pricing, the value determined for a particular security may be materially different than the value realized upon its sale.  For information about the pricing of some specific positions (e.g. swaps) see descriptions below.  Because many foreign equity securities markets and exchanges close prior to the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), closing prices for foreign securities in those markets or on those exchanges do not reflect the events that occur after that close but before the close of the NYSE.  As a result, the Fund generally values foreign equity securities as of the NYSE close using fair value prices, which are based on adjustments to closing prices supplied by a third party vendor using that vendor’s proprietary models.  As of May 31, 2009, 73.08% of the net assets of the Fund were valued using fair value prices based on models used by that third party vendor and are classified as using level 2 inputs in the table below.

 

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS 157”). While the adoption of SFAS 157 does not have an effect on the Fund’s net asset value, it does require additional disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 establishes a three-level hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements. The valuation hierarchy is based upon the reliability of inputs to the valuation of the Fund’s investments. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.  The three levels are defined as follows:

 

Level 1 – Valuations based on quoted prices for identical securities in active markets.

 

Level 2 – Valuations determined using other significant direct or indirect observable inputs.

 

Level 3 – Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant. The Fund utilized the following fair value techniques on Level 3 investments: The Fund’s securities in Thailand were subject to a premium adjustment upon exceeding foreign ownership limitations. The Fund valued various investment funds based on valuations provided by fund sponsors and adjusted the values for liquidity considerations as well as the timing of the receipt of information. The Fund valued certain private equity securities based on values of underlying securities to which the securities are linked, and certain other equity securities based on the last traded exchange price adjusted for the movement in a related index. The Fund considered certain bankrupt securities to be worthless.

Foreign currency translation

 

The market values of foreign securities, currency holdings and related assets and liabilities are translated to U.S. dollars based on the 4 p.m. New York time exchange rates each business day.  Income and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the 4 p.m. New York time exchange rates on the business day the income and expenses are accrued or incurred.  The Fund does not isolate realized and unrealized gains and losses attributable to changes in exchange rates from gains and losses that arise from changes in the market value of investments.  Such fluctuations are included with net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments.  Net realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions represent gains and losses on disposition of currencies and forward currency contracts, currency gains and losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amount of investment income and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s accounting records and the U.S. dollar equivalent amounts actually received or paid.

 

Forward currency contracts

 

The Fund may enter into forward currency contracts, including forward cross currency contracts.  A forward currency contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell a currency at a set price on a future date (or to pay or receive the amounts of the change in relative values of the two currencies).  The market value of a forward currency contract fluctuates with changes in forward currency exchange rates.  Forward currency contracts are marked to market daily using rates supplied by a quotation service and changes in value are recorded by the Fund as unrealized gains or losses.  Realized gains or losses on the contracts are 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.  These contracts involve market risk in excess of the unrealized gain or loss.  They expose the Fund to the risk of unfavorable movements in currency values and the risk that the counterparty will be unable or unwilling to meet the terms of the contracts.

 

Rights and Warrants

 

A Fund may purchase or otherwise receive warrants or rights. Warrants and rights generally give the holder the right to receive, upon exercise, a security of the issuer at a stated price. Funds typically use warrants and rights in a manner similar to their use of options on securities, as described in Options below. Risks associated with the use of warrants and rights are generally similar to risks associated with the use of options. Unlike most options, however, warrants and rights are issued in specific amounts, and warrants generally have longer terms than options. Warrants and rights are not likely to be as liquid as exchange-traded options backed by a recognized clearing agency. In addition, the terms of warrants or rights may limit a Fund’s ability to exercise the warrants or rights at such time, or in such quantities, as the Fund would otherwise wish.

 

Futures contracts

 

The Fund may purchase and sell futures contracts.  A futures contract is a contract that obligates the holder to buy or sell an asset at a predetermined delivery price during a specified future time period.  Some futures contracts are net (cash) settled. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to deposit cash, U.S. government and agency obligations, or other liquid assets with the futures clearing broker in accordance with the initial margin requirements of the broker or exchange.  Futures contracts are marked to market daily and an appropriate payable or receivable for the change in value (“variation margin”) is recorded by the Fund.  The payable or receivable is settled on the following business day.  Gains or losses are recognized but not considered realized until the contracts expire or are closed.  Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of the variation margin.  Under some circumstances, futures exchanges may establish daily limits on the amount that the price of a futures contract can vary from the previous day’s settlement price, thereby effectively preventing liquidation of unfavorable positions.  Losses may arise from changes in the value of the underlying instrument if the Fund is unable to liquidate a futures position due to an illiquid market for the contract, the imposition of price limits or the failure of counterparty to perform under the contract terms.  Futures contracts are generally valued at the settlement price established each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded. Because many foreign exchanges close prior to the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), closing prices for foreign futures in those markets or on those markets or on those exchanges do not reflect the events that occur after that close but before the close of the NYSE. As a result, the Fund generally values foreign futures using fair value prices, which are based on adjustments to closing prices supplied by a third party vendor based on that vendor’s proprietary models.

 

Options

 

The Fund may purchase put and call options.  A call option gives the holder the right to buy an asset; a put option gives the holder the right to sell an asset.  Purchasing options alters the Fund’s exposure to the underlying instrument by, in the case of a call option, entitling the Fund to purchase the underlying instrument at a set price from the writer of the option and, in the case of a put option, entitling the Fund to

 



 

sell the underlying instrument at a set price to the writer of the option.  The Fund pays a premium for a purchased option.  That premium is disclosed in the Schedule of Investments and is subsequently marked to market to reflect the current value of the option.  Premiums paid for options that expire are treated as realized losses.  Premiums paid for options that are exercised or closed are deducted from the proceeds of the closing transaction to determine the realized gain or loss.  The risk associated with purchasing put and call options is limited to the premium paid.

 

The Fund may write (i.e., sell) call and put options.   Writing options alters the Fund’s exposure to the underlying instrument by, in the case of a call option, obligating the Fund to sell the underlying instrument at a set price to the option-holder and, in the case of a put option, obligating the Fund to purchase the underlying instrument at a set price from the option-holder. In some cases (e.g. index options), settlement will be in cash. When the Fund writes a call or put option, an amount equal to the premium received is recorded as a liability and subsequently marked to market to reflect the current value of the option written.  Premiums received from writing options that expire are treated as realized gains.  Premiums received from writing options that are exercised or closed are deducted from the amounts paid on the underlying future, security or currency transaction to determine the realized gain or loss.  The Fund as a writer of an option has no control over whether the underlying future, security or currency may be sold (call) or purchased (put) and as a result bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the future, security or currency underlying the option.  In the event that the Fund writes call or put options without an offsetting exposure (e.g. call options on a security that the Fund does not own), it bears the risk of substantial losses if the price of the underlying asset increases (calls) or decreases (puts) during the term of the option.  Options expose the Fund to the risk the Fund may not be able to enter into a closing transaction because of an illiquid market.

 

The Fund values exchange traded options at the last sale price, or if no sale is reported, the last bid price for options it has purchased and the last ask price for options it has written.  The Fund values options traded over-the-counter using inputs provided by primary pricing sources and industry models.

 

Indexed securities

 

The Fund may invest in indexed securities.  Indexed securities are securities whose values and/or coupons are linked to the prices of a specific instrument, group of instruments or financial statistic.

 

Swap agreements

 

The Fund may enter into various types of swap agreements, including without limitation, swaps on securities and securities indices, interest rate swaps, total return swaps, credit default swaps, variance swaps, commodity swaps, inflation swaps and other types of available swaps.  A swap agreement is an agreement to exchange the return generated by one instrument for the return generated by another instrument.  Some swap contracts are net settled. When entering into a swap agreement, the Fund and/or the swap counterparty may post or receive cash or securities as collateral and will typically post or receive additional collateral as market values change.

 

Interest rate swap agreements involve an exchange by the parties of their respective commitments to pay or right to receive interest, e.g., an exchange of floating rate interest payments for fixed rate interest payments with respect to the notional amount of principal.

 

Total return swap agreements involve a commitment by one party to pay interest to the other party in exchange for a payment to it from the other party based on the return of a reference instrument (e.g., a security or basket of securities), both based on notional amounts. To the extent the return of the reference instrument exceeds or falls short of the interest payments, one party will receive a payment from or make a payment to the other party.

 

In a credit default swap agreement, one party makes payments to another party in exchange for the right to receive a specified return if a credit event occurs with respect to a referenced entity or entities.  Buying credit default protection reduces the buyer’s exposure (or increases negative exposure) in the event of an issuer’s default (e.g., it is intended to reduce risk where a party owns a security issued by or otherwise has exposure to the issuer).  Selling credit default protection subjects the seller to exposure to an issuer’s default or other credit events.  A seller of credit default protection receives payments in return for its obligation to pay the principal amount of a debt security (or other agreed-upon value) to the other party upon the occurrence of a credit event (e.g., issuer default or similar event).  If no credit event occurs, the seller has no payment obligations.  For credit default swap agreements on asset-backed securities, a credit event may be triggered by various events, which may include an issuer’s failure to pay interest or principal, a breach of a material representation or covenant, an agreement by the holders of an asset-backed security to a maturity extension, or a write-down on the collateral underlying the security.  For credit default swap agreements on corporate or sovereign issuers, a credit event may be triggered by such events as the issuer’s bankruptcy, failure to pay interest or principal, repudiation/moratorium or restructuring.

 

Variance swap agreements involve an agreement by two parties to exchange cash flows based on the measured variance (or square of volatility) of a specified underlying asset. One party agrees to exchange a “fixed rate” or strike price payment for the “floating rate” or realized price variance on the underlying asset with respect to the notional amount. At inception, the strike price chosen is generally fixed at a level such that the fair value of the swap is zero. As a result, no money changes hands at the initiation of the contract. At the expiration date, the amount paid by one party to the other is the difference between the realized price variance of the underlying asset and the strike price multiplied by the notional amount. A receiver of the realized price variance would receive a payment when the realized price variance of the underlying asset is greater than the strike price and would make a payment when that variance is less than the strike price. A payer of

 



 

the realized price variance would make a payment when the realized price variance of the underlying asset is greater than the strike price and would receive a payment when that variance is less than the strike price. This type of agreement is essentially a forward contract on the future realized price variance of the underlying asset.

 

The Fund prices its swap agreements daily using models that may incorporate quotations from market makers and records the change in value, if any, as unrealized gain or loss.  Payments received or made on swap agreements are recorded as realized gain or loss.  Gains or losses are realized upon termination of the swap agreements, or reset dates as appropriate.

 

Swap agreements generally are not traded on financial markets. The values assigned to them may differ significantly from the values that would be realized upon termination, and the differences could be material. Entering into swap agreements involves counterparty credit, legal, and documentation risk that is generally not reflected in the models used to price the swap agreement.  Such risks include the possibility that the party with whom the Fund contracts may default on its obligations to perform or disagree as to the meaning of contractual terms, that the Fund has amounts on deposit in excess of amounts owed by the Fund, or that the collateral the other party posts may be insufficient or not timely received by the Fund.  Specifically, the amount shown as owed to the Fund under a swap agreement is not reduced if there is uncertainty about the counterparty’s willingness or ability to pay.  Credit risk is particularly acute in economic environments in which financial services firms are exposed to systemic risks of the type evidenced by the insolvency of Lehman Brothers in 2008 and subsequent market disruptions.

 

Investment risks

 

Investments in securities of issuers in emerging countries present risks that are not presented by many other investments. Many emerging countries are subject to political and/or economic instability.  The securities markets of emerging countries are generally smaller and less developed than the securities markets of the U.S. and developed foreign markets. Further, countries may expropriate, or impose various types of foreign currency regulations or controls that impede the Fund’s ability to repatriate, amounts it receives.   Also, fluctuations in exchange rates may adversely affect the U.S. dollar value of the Fund’s foreign currency holdings and investments denominated in foreign currency.  These factors may result in significant volatility in the values of the Fund’s holdings. The markets in emerging countries are typically less liquid than those of developed markets.  Accordingly, the Fund may not be able to realize in an actual sale amounts approximating the values it has placed on its holdings.

 

Some non-U.S. markets require foreign investors to obtain a license to invest in such markets. A license to invest in such markets may be subject to various limitations, including maximum investment amounts. Once a license is obtained, a Fund’s ability to continue to invest directly in such markets is subject to the risk that the license will be terminated or suspended. If the license were terminated or suspended, the Fund would be required to seek exposure to the market through the purchase of American Depositary Receipts, Global Depository Receipts, shares of other funds that are licensed to invest directly, or derivative instruments. The receipt of a foreign license by one of GMO’s clients may preclude other clients, including a Fund, from obtaining a similar license, and this could limit the Fund’s investment opportunities. In addition, the activities of other GMO clients could cause the suspension or a revocation of such a license and could thereby limit the Funds’ investment opportunities.

 

Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities–Effective March 1, 2009, the Fund adopted FASB Statement of Financial Standards No. 161 “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS 161”). This standard is an amendment to FASB Statement No. 133 (“FASB 133”), which expands the disclosure requirements of FASB 133 regarding an entity’s derivative instruments and hedging activities.

 

The Fund adopted SFAS 161 on March 1, 2009. As of May 31, 2009, the Fund held no derivative contracts for the purposes of SFAS 161.

Portfolio valuation

 

Securities listed on a securities exchange for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price on each business day, or if there is no such reported sale or official closing price, at the most recent quoted bid price, or broker bid (if the private market is more relevant in determining market value than the exchange).  Unlisted securities for which market quotations are readily available are generally valued at the most recent quoted bid price.  Debt instruments with a remaining maturity of sixty days or less are generally valued at amortized cost.  Shares of investment funds are generally valued at their net asset value.  Securities for which quotations are not readily available or whose values the Manager has determined to be unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Trustees or persons acting at their direction pursuant to procedures approved by the Trustees.  Although the goal of fair valuation is to determine the amount the owner of the securities might reasonably expect to receive upon their current sale, because of the uncertainty inherent in fair value pricing, the value determined for a particular security may be materially different than the value realized upon its sale. Because many foreign equity securities markets and exchanges close prior to the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), closing prices for foreign securities in those markets or on those exchanges do not reflect the events that occur after that close but before the close of the NYSE.  As a result, the Fund generally values foreign equity securities as of the NYSE close using fair value prices, which are based on adjustments to closing prices supplied by a third party vendor using that vendor’s proprietary models.  As of May 31, 2009, 98.23% of the net assets of the Fund were valued using fair value prices based on models used by that third party vendor and are classified as using level 2 inputs in the table below.

 

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS 157”). While the adoption of SFAS 157 does not have an effect on the Fund’s net asset value, it does require additional disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 establishes a three-level hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements. The valuation hierarchy is based upon the reliability of inputs to the valuation of the Fund’s investments. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.  The three levels are defined as follows:

 

Level 1 – Valuations based on quoted prices for identical securities in active markets.

 

Level 2 – Valuations determined using other significant direct or indirect observable inputs.

 

Level 3 – Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant.

 

The following is a summary of the categorization of investments by inputs used as of May 31, 2009 in valuing the Fund’s investments:

Foreign currency translation

 

The market values of foreign securities, currency holdings and related assets and liabilities are translated to U.S. dollars based on the 4 p.m. New York time exchange rates each business day.  Income and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the 4 p.m. New York time exchange rates on the business day the income and expenses are accrued or incurred.  The Fund does not isolate realized and unrealized gains and losses attributable to changes in exchange rates from gains and losses that arise from changes in the market value of investments.  Such fluctuations are included with net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments.  Net realized gains and losses

 



 

on foreign currency transactions represent gains and losses on disposition of currencies and forward currency contracts, currency gains and losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amount of investment income and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s accounting records and the U.S. dollar equivalent amounts actually received or paid.

 

Forward currency contracts

 

The Fund may enter into forward currency contracts, including forward cross currency contracts.  A forward currency contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell a currency at a set price on a future date (or to pay or receive the amounts of the change in relative values of the two currencies).  The market value of a forward currency contract fluctuates with changes in forward currency exchange rates.  Forward currency contracts are marked to market daily using rates supplied by a quotation service and changes in value are recorded by the Fund as unrealized gains or losses.  Realized gains or losses on the contracts are 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.  These contracts involve market risk in excess of the unrealized gain or loss.  They expose the Fund to the risk of unfavorable movements in currency values and the risk that the counterparty will be unable or unwilling to meet the terms of the contracts.

 

Futures contracts

 

The Fund may purchase and sell futures contracts.  A futures contract is a contract that obligates the holder to buy or sell an asset at a predetermined delivery price during a specified future time period.  Some futures contracts are net (cash) settled. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to deposit cash, U.S. government and agency obligations, or other liquid assets with the futures clearing broker in accordance with the initial margin requirements of the broker or exchange.  Futures contracts are marked to market daily and an appropriate payable or receivable for the change in value (“variation margin”) is recorded by the Fund.  The payable or receivable is settled on the following business day.  Gains or losses are recognized but not considered realized until the contracts expire or are closed.  Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of the variation margin.  Under some circumstances, futures exchanges may establish daily limits on the amount that the price of a futures contract can vary from the previous day’s settlement price, thereby effectively preventing liquidation of unfavorable positions.  Losses may arise from changes in the value of the underlying instrument if the Fund is unable to liquidate a futures position due to an illiquid market for the contract, the imposition of price limits or the failure of counterparty to perform under the contract terms.  Futures contracts are generally valued at the settlement price established each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded. Because many foreign exchanges close prior to the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), closing prices for foreign futures in those markets or on those markets or on those exchanges do not reflect the events that occur after that close but before the close of the NYSE. As a result, the Fund generally values foreign futures using fair value prices, which are based on adjustments to closing prices supplied by a third party vendor based on that vendor’s proprietary models.

 

Options

 

The Fund may purchase put and call options.  A call option gives the holder the right to buy an asset; a put option gives the holder the right to sell an asset.  Purchasing options alters the Fund’s exposure to the underlying instrument by, in the case of a call option, entitling the Fund to purchase the underlying instrument at a set price from the writer of the option and, in the case of a put option, entitling the Fund to sell the underlying instrument at a set price to the writer of the option.  The Fund pays a premium for a purchased option.  That premium is disclosed in the Schedule of Investments and is subsequently marked to market to reflect the current value of the option.  Premiums paid for options that expire are treated as realized losses.  Premiums paid for options that are exercised or closed are deducted from the proceeds of the closing transaction to determine the realized gain or loss.  The risk associated with purchasing put and call options is limited to the premium paid.

 

The Fund may write (i.e., sell) call and put options.   Writing options alters the Fund’s exposure to the underlying instrument by, in the case of a call option, obligating the Fund to sell the underlying instrument at a set price to the option-holder and, in the case of a put option, obligating the Fund to purchase the underlying instrument at a set price from the option-holder. In some cases (e.g. index options), settlement will be in cash. When the Fund writes a call or put option, an amount equal to the premium received is recorded as a liability and subsequently marked to market to reflect the current value of the option written.  Premiums received from writing options that expire are treated as realized gains.  Premiums received from writing options that are exercised or closed are deducted from the amounts paid on the underlying future, security or currency transaction to determine the realized gain or loss.  The Fund as a writer of an option has no control over whether the underlying future, security or currency may be sold (call) or purchased (put) and as a result bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the future, security or currency underlying the option.  In the event that the Fund writes call or put options without an offsetting exposure (e.g. call options on a security that the Fund does not own), it bears the risk of substantial losses if the price of the underlying asset increases (calls) or decreases (puts) during the term of the option.  Options expose the Fund to the risk the Fund may not be able to enter into a closing transaction because of an illiquid market.

 

The Fund values exchange traded options at the last sale price, or if no sale is reported, the last bid price for options it has purchased and the last ask price for options it has written.  The Fund values options traded over-the-counter using inputs provided by primary pricing sources and industry models.

 



 

Swap agreements

 

The Fund may enter into various types of swap agreements, including without limitation, swaps on securities and securities indicies, interest rate swaps, total return swaps, credit default swaps, variance swaps, commodity swaps, inflation swaps and other types of available swaps.  A swap agreement is an agreement to exchange the return generated by one instrument for the return generated by another instrument.  Some swap contracts are net settled. When entering into a swap agreement, the Fund and/or the swap counterparty may post or receive cash or securities as collateral and will typically post or receive additional collateral as market values change.

 

Interest rate swap agreements involve an exchange by the parties of their respective commitments to pay or right to receive interest, e.g., an exchange of floating rate interest payments for fixed rate interest payments with respect to the notional amount of principal.

 

Total return swap agreements involve a commitment by one party to pay interest to the other party in exchange for a payment to it from the other party based on the return of a reference instrument (e.g., a security or basket of securities), both based on notional amounts. To the extent the return of the reference instrument exceeds or falls short of the interest payments, one party will receive a payment from or make a payment to the other party.

 

In a credit default swap agreement, one party makes payments to another party in exchange for the right to receive a specified return if a credit event occurs with respect to a referenced entity or entities.  Buying credit default protection reduces the buyer’s exposure (or increases negative exposure) in the event of an issuer’s default (e.g., it is intended to reduce risk where a party owns a security issued by or otherwise has exposure to the issuer).  Selling credit default protection subjects the seller to exposure to an issuer’s default or other credit events.  A seller of credit default protection receives payments in return for its obligation to pay the principal amount of a debt security (or other agreed-upon value) to the other party upon the occurrence of a credit event (e.g., issuer default or similar event).  If no credit event occurs, the seller has no payment obligations.    For credit default swap agreements on asset-backed securities, a credit event may be triggered by various events, which may include an issuer’s failure to pay interest or principal, a breach of a material representation or covenant, an agreement by the holders of an asset-backed security to a maturity extension, or a write-down on the collateral underlying the security. For credit default swap agreements on corporate or sovereign issuers, a credit event may be triggered by such events as the issuer’s bankruptcy, failure to pay interest or principal, repudiation/moratorium or restructuring.

 

Variance swap agreements involve an agreement by two parties to exchange cash flows based on the measured variance (or square of volatility) of a specified underlying asset. One party agrees to exchange a “fixed rate” or strike price payment for the “floating rate” or realized price variance on the underlying asset with respect to the notional amount. At inception, the strike price chosen is generally fixed at a level such that the fair value of the swap is zero. As a result, no money changes hands at the initiation of the contract. At the expiration date, the amount paid by one party to the other is the difference between the realized price variance of the underlying asset and the strike price multiplied by the notional amount. A receiver of the realized price variance would receive a payment when the realized price variance of the underlying asset is greater than the strike price and would make a payment when that variance is less than the strike price. A payer of the realized price variance would make a payment when the realized price variance of the underlying asset is greater than the strike price and would receive a payment when that variance is less than the strike price. This type of agreement is essentially a forward contract on the future realized price variance of the underlying asset.

 

The Fund prices its swap agreements daily using models that may incorporate quotations from market makers and records the change in value, if any, as unrealized gain or loss.  Payments received or made on swap agreements are recorded as realized gain or loss.  Gains or losses are realized upon termination of the swap agreements, or reset dates as appropriate.

 

Swap agreements generally are not traded on financial markets. The values assigned to them may differ significantly from the values that would be realized upon termination, and the differences could be material. Entering into swap agreements involves counterparty credit, legal, and documentation risk that is generally not reflected in the models used to price the swap agreement.  Such risks include the possibility that the party with whom the Fund contracts may default on its obligations to perform or disagree as to the meaning of contractual terms, that the Fund has amounts on deposit in excess of amounts owed by the Fund, or that the collateral the other party posts may be insufficient or not timely received by the Fund.  Specifically, the amount shown as owed to the Fund under a swap agreement is not reduced if there is uncertainty about the counterparty’s willingness or ability to pay. Credit risk is particularly acute in economic environments in which financial services firms are exposed to systemic risks of the type evidenced by the insolvency of Lehman Brothers in 2008 and subsequent market disruptions.

 

Investment risks

 

The Fund is subject to risks involved in investing in foreign securities that are not presented by investments in U.S. securities. These risks may involve adverse political and economic developments, including expropriation and the possible imposition of capital controls or other foreign governmental laws or restrictions. In addition, the securities of some foreign companies and securities markets are less liquid and at times may be more volatile than securities of comparable U.S. companies and U.S. securities markets.

 



 

Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities–Effective March 1, 2009, the Fund adopted FASB Statement of Financial Standards No. 161 “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS 161”). This standard is an amendment to FASB Statement No. 133 (“FASB 133”), “Accounting for Derivative Instruments” which expands the disclosure requirements of FASB 133 regarding an entity’s derivative instruments and hedging activities.

^^ As the Fund values its derivatives at fair value and recognizes changes in fair value through the statement of operations, it does not qualify for hedge accounting under FASB 133. The Fund’s investments in derivatives may represent an economic hedge; however, they are considered to be non-hedge transactions for the purpose of SFAS 161 disclosure.

 

The amounts above correspond with amounts in the Schedule of Investment for “Futures Contracts”.

Portfolio valuation

 

Securities listed on a securities exchange for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price on each business day, or if there is no such reported sale or official closing price, at the most recent quoted bid price, or broker bid (if the private market is more relevant in determining market value than the exchange).  Unlisted securities for which market quotations are readily available are generally valued at the most recent quoted bid price.  Debt instruments with a remaining maturity of sixty days or less are generally valued at amortized cost.  Shares of investment funds are generally valued at their net asset value.  Securities for which quotations are not readily available or whose values the Manager has determined to be unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Trustees or persons acting at their direction pursuant to procedures approved by the Trustees.  Although the goal of fair valuation is to determine the amount the owner of the securities might reasonably expect to receive upon their current sale, because of the uncertainty inherent in fair value pricing, the value determined for a particular security may be materially different than the value realized upon its sale. For information about the pricing of some specific positions (e.g. futures) see descriptions below. Because many foreign equity securities markets and exchanges close prior to the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), closing prices for foreign securities in those markets or on those exchanges do not reflect the events that occur after that close but before the close of the NYSE.  As a result, the Fund generally values foreign equity securities as of the NYSE close using fair value prices, which are based on adjustments to closing prices supplied by a third party vendor using that vendor’s proprietary models.  As of May 31, 2009, 95.19% of the net assets of the Fund were valued using fair value prices based on models used by that third party vendor and are classified as using level 2 inputs in the table below.

 

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS 157”). While the adoption of SFAS 157 does not have an effect on the Fund’s net asset value, it does require additional disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 establishes a three-level hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements. The valuation hierarchy is based upon the reliability of inputs to the valuation of the Fund’s investments. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.  The three levels are defined as follows:

 

Level 1 – Valuations based on quoted prices for identical securities in active markets.

 

Level 2 – Valuations determined using other significant direct or indirect observable inputs.

 

Level 3 – Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant. The Fund utilized the following fair value techniques on Level 3 investments: The Fund considered certain bankrupt securities to be worthless.

 

The following is a summary of the categorization of investments by inputs used as of May 31, 2009 in valuing the Fund’s investments:

Foreign currency translation

 

The market values of foreign securities, currency holdings and related assets and liabilities are translated to U.S. dollars based on the 4 p.m. New York time exchange rates each business day.  Income and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the 4 p.m. New York time exchange rates on the business day the income and expenses are accrued or incurred.  The Fund does not isolate realized and unrealized gains and losses attributable to changes in exchange rates from gains and losses that arise from changes in the market value of investments.  Such fluctuations are included with net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments.  Net realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions represent gains and losses on disposition of currencies and forward currency contracts, currency gains and losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amount of investment income and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s accounting records and the U.S. dollar equivalent amounts actually received or paid.

 

Forward currency contracts

 

The Fund may enter into forward currency contracts, including forward cross currency contracts.  A forward currency contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell a currency at a set price on a future date (or to pay or receive the amounts of the change in relative values of the two currencies).  The market value of a forward currency contract fluctuates with changes in forward currency exchange rates.  Forward currency contracts are marked to market daily using rates supplied by a quotation service and changes in value are recorded by the Fund as unrealized gains or losses.  Realized gains or losses on the contracts are 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.  These contracts involve market risk in excess of the unrealized gain or loss.  They expose the Fund to the risk of unfavorable movements in currency values and the risk that the counterparty will be unable or unwilling to meet the terms of the contracts.

 

Rights and Warrants

 

A Fund may purchase or otherwise receive warrants or rights. Warrants and rights generally give the holder the right to receive, upon exercise, a security of the issuer at a stated price. Funds typically use warrants and rights in a manner similar to their use of options on securities, as described in Options below. Risks associated with the use of warrants and rights are generally similar to risks associated with the use of options. Unlike most options, however, warrants and rights are issued in specific amounts, and warrants generally have longer terms than options. Warrants and rights are not likely to be as liquid as exchange-traded options backed by a recognized clearing agency. In addition, the terms of warrants or rights may limit a Fund’s ability to exercise the warrants or rights at such time, or in such quantities, as the Fund would otherwise wish.

 

Futures contracts

 

The Fund may purchase and sell futures contracts.  A futures contract is a contract that obligates the holder to buy or sell an asset at a predetermined delivery price during a specified future time period.  Some futures contracts are net (cash) settled. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to deposit cash, U.S. government and agency obligations, or other liquid assets with the futures clearing broker in accordance with the initial margin requirements of the broker or exchange.  Futures contracts are marked to market daily and an appropriate payable or receivable for the change in value (“variation margin”) is recorded by the Fund.  The payable or receivable is settled on the following business day.  Gains or losses are recognized but not considered realized until the contracts expire or are closed.  Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of the variation margin.  Under some circumstances, futures exchanges may establish daily limits on the amount that the price of a futures contract can vary from the previous day’s settlement price, thereby effectively preventing liquidation of unfavorable positions.  Losses may arise from changes in the value of the underlying instrument if the Fund is unable to liquidate a futures position due to an illiquid market for the contract, the imposition of price limits or the failure of counterparty to perform under the contract terms.  Futures contracts are generally valued at the settlement price established at the close of business each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded.  Because many foreign exchanges close prior to the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), closing prices for foreign futures in those markets or on those markets or on those exchanges do not reflect the events that occur after that close but before the close of the NYSE. As a result, the Fund generally values foreign futures using fair value prices, which are based on adjustments to closing prices supplied by a third party vendor based on that vendor’s proprietary models.

 

Options

 

The Fund may purchase put and call options.  A call option gives the holder the right to buy an asset; a put option gives the holder the right to sell an asset.  Purchasing options alters the Fund’s exposure to the underlying instrument by, in the case of a call option, entitling the Fund to purchase the underlying instrument at a set price from the writer of the option and, in the case of a put option, entitling the Fund to sell the underlying instrument at a set price to the writer of the option.  The Fund pays a premium for a purchased option.  That premium is disclosed in the Schedule of Investments and is subsequently marked to market to reflect the current value of the option.  Premiums paid for options that expire are treated as realized losses.  Premiums paid for options that are exercised or closed are deducted from the proceeds

 



 

of the closing transaction to determine the realized gain or loss.  The risk associated with purchasing put and call options is limited to the premium paid.

 

The Fund may write (i.e., sell) call and put options.   Writing options alters the Fund’s exposure to the underlying instrument by, in the case of a call option, obligating the Fund to sell the underlying instrument at a set price to the option-holder and, in the case of a put option, obligating the Fund to purchase the underlying instrument at a set price from the option-holder. In some cases (e.g. index options), settlement will be in cash. When the Fund writes a call or put option, an amount equal to the premium received is recorded as a liability and subsequently marked to market to reflect the current value of the option written.  Premiums received from writing options that expire are treated as realized gains.  Premiums received from writing options that are exercised or closed are deducted from the amounts paid on the underlying future, security or currency transaction to determine the realized gain or loss.  The Fund as a writer of an option has no control over whether the underlying future, security or currency may be sold (call) or purchased (put) and as a result bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the future, security or currency underlying the option.  In the event that the Fund writes call or put options without an offsetting exposure (e.g. call options on a security that the Fund does not own), it bears the risk of substantial losses if the price of the underlying asset increases (calls) or decreases (puts) during the term of the option.  Options expose the Fund to the risk the Fund may not be able to enter into a closing transaction because of an illiquid market.

 

The Fund values exchange traded options at the last sale price, or if no sale is reported, the last bid price for options it has purchased and the last ask price for options it has written.  The Fund values options traded over-the-counter using inputs provided by primary pricing sources and industry models.

 

Investment risks

 

The Fund is subject to risks involved in investing in foreign securities that are not presented by investments in U.S. securities. These risks may involve adverse political and economic developments, including expropriation and the possible imposition of capital controls or other foreign governmental laws or restrictions. In addition, the securities of some foreign companies and securities markets are less liquid and at times may be more volatile than securities of comparable U.S. companies and U.S. securities markets.

 

Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities–Effective March 1, 2009, the Fund adopted FASB Statement of Financial Standards No. 161 “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS 161”). This standard is an amendment to FASB Statement No. 133 (“FASB 133”), which expands the disclosure requirements of FASB 133 regarding an entity’s derivative instruments and hedging activities.

 

The Fund adopted SFAS 161 on March 1, 2009.  As of May 31, 2009, the Fund held no derivative contracts for the purposes of SFAS 161.

Portfolio valuation

 

Securities listed on a securities exchange for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price on each business day, or if there is no such reported sale or official closing price, at the most recent quoted bid price, or broker bid (if the private market is more relevant in determining market value than the exchange).  Unlisted securities for which market quotations are readily available are generally valued at the most recent quoted bid price.  Debt instruments with a remaining maturity of sixty days or less are generally valued at amortized cost.  Shares of investment funds are generally valued at their net asset value.  Securities for which quotations are not readily available or whose values the Manager has determined to be unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Trustees or persons acting at their direction pursuant to procedures approved by the Trustees.  Although the goal of fair valuation is to determine the amount the owner of the securities might reasonably expect to receive upon their current sale, because of the uncertainty inherent in fair value pricing, the value determined for a particular security may be materially different than the value realized upon its sale. For information about the pricing of some specific positions (e.g. futures) see descriptions below. Because many foreign equity securities markets and exchanges close prior to the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), closing prices for foreign securities in those markets or on those exchanges do not reflect the events that occur after that close but before the close of the NYSE.  As a result, the Fund generally values foreign equity securities as of the NYSE close using fair value prices, which are based on adjustments to closing prices supplied by a third party vendor using that vendor’s proprietary models.  As of May 31, 2009, 89.21% of the net assets of the Fund were valued using fair value prices based on models used by that third party vendor and are classified as using level 2 inputs in the table below.

 

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS 157”). While the adoption of SFAS 157 does not have an effect on the Fund’s net asset value, it does require additional disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 establishes a three-level hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements. The valuation hierarchy is based upon the reliability of inputs to the valuation of the Fund’s investments. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.  The three levels are defined as follows:

 

Level 1 – Valuations based on quoted prices for identical securities in active markets.

 

Level 2 – Valuations determined using other significant direct or indirect observable inputs.

 

Level 3 – Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant. The Fund utilized the following fair value techniques on Level 3 investments: The Fund’s securities in Thailand were subject to a premium adjustment upon exceeding foreign ownership limitations. The Fund also considered certain bankrupt securities to be worthless.

 

The following is a summary of the categorization of investments by inputs used as of May 31, 2009 in valuing the Fund’s investments:

Foreign currency translation

 

The market values of foreign securities, currency holdings and related assets and liabilities are translated to U.S. dollars based on the 4 p.m. New York time exchange rates each business day.  Income and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the 4 p.m. New York time exchange rates on the business day the income and expenses are accrued or incurred.  The Fund does not isolate realized and unrealized gains and losses attributable to changes in exchange rates from gains and losses that arise from changes in the market value of investments.  Such fluctuations are included with net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments.  Net realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions represent gains and losses on disposition of currencies and forward currency contracts, currency gains and losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amount of investment income and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s accounting records and the U.S. dollar equivalent amounts actually received or paid.

 

Forward currency contracts

 

The Fund may enter into forward currency contracts, including forward cross currency contracts.  A forward currency contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell a currency at a set price on a future date (or to pay or receive the amounts of the change in relative values of the two currencies).  The market value of a forward currency contract fluctuates with changes in forward currency exchange rates.  Forward currency contracts are marked to market daily using rates supplied by a quotation service and changes in value are recorded by the Fund as unrealized gains or losses.  Realized gains or losses on the contracts are 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.  These contracts involve market risk in excess of the unrealized gain or loss.  They expose the Fund to the risk of unfavorable movements in currency values and the risk that the counterparty will be unable or unwilling to meet the terms of the contracts.

 

Rights and Warrants

 

A Fund may purchase or otherwise receive warrants or rights. Warrants and rights generally give the holder the right to receive, upon exercise, a security of the issuer at a stated price. Funds typically use warrants and rights in a manner similar to their use of options on securities, as described in Options below. Risks associated with the use of warrants and rights are generally similar to risks associated with the use of options. Unlike most options, however, warrants and rights are issued in specific amounts, and warrants generally have longer terms than options. Warrants and rights are not likely to be as liquid as exchange-traded options backed by a recognized clearing agency. In addition, the terms of warrants or rights may limit a Fund’s ability to exercise the warrants or rights at such time, or in such quantities, as the Fund would otherwise wish.

 

Futures contracts

 

The Fund may purchase and sell futures contracts.  A futures contract is a contract that obligates the holder to buy or sell an asset at a predetermined delivery price during a specified future time period.  Some futures contracts are net (cash) settled. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to deposit cash, U.S. government and agency obligations, or other liquid assets with the futures clearing broker in accordance with the initial margin requirements of the broker or exchange.  Futures contracts are marked to market daily and an appropriate payable or receivable for the change in value (“variation margin”) is recorded by the Fund.  The payable or receivable is settled on the following business day.  Gains or losses are recognized but not considered realized until the contracts expire or are closed.  Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of the variation margin.  Under some circumstances, futures exchanges may establish daily limits on the amount that the price of a futures contract can vary from the previous day’s settlement price, thereby effectively preventing liquidation of unfavorable positions.  Losses may arise from changes in the value of the underlying instrument if the Fund is unable to liquidate a futures position due to an illiquid market for the contract, the imposition of price limits or the failure of counterparty to perform under the contract terms.  Futures contracts are generally valued at the settlement price established at the close of business each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded.  Because many foreign exchanges close prior to the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), closing prices for foreign futures in those markets or on those markets or on those exchanges do not reflect the events that occur after that close but before the close of the NYSE. As a result, the Fund generally values foreign futures using fair value prices, which are based on adjustments to closing prices supplied by a third party vendor based on that vendor’s proprietary models.

 

Options

 

The Fund may purchase put and call options.  A call option gives the holder the right to buy an asset; a put option gives the holder the right to sell an asset.  Purchasing options alters the Fund’s exposure to the underlying instrument by, in the case of a call option, entitling the Fund to purchase the underlying instrument at a set price from the writer of the option and, in the case of a put option, entitling the Fund to sell the underlying instrument at a set price to the writer of the option.  The Fund pays a premium for a purchased option.  That premium is disclosed in the Schedule of Investments and is subsequently marked to market to reflect the current value of the option.  Premiums paid for options that expire are treated as realized losses.  Premiums paid for options that are exercised or closed are deducted from the proceeds of the closing transaction to determine the realized gain or loss.  The risk associated with purchasing put and call options is limited to the premium paid.

 



 

The Fund may write (i.e., sell) call and put options.   Writing options alters the Fund’s exposure to the underlying instrument by, in the case of a call option, obligating the Fund to sell the underlying instrument at a set price to the option-holder and, in the case of a put option, obligating the Fund to purchase the underlying instrument at a set price from the option-holder. In some cases (e.g. index options), settlement will be in cash. When the Fund writes a call or put option, an amount equal to the premium received is recorded as a liability and subsequently marked to market to reflect the current value of the option written.  Premiums received from writing options that expire are treated as realized gains.  Premiums received from writing options that are exercised or closed are deducted from the amounts paid on the underlying future, security or currency transaction to determine the realized gain or loss.  The Fund as a writer of an option has no control over whether the underlying future, security or currency may be sold (call) or purchased (put) and as a result bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the future, security or currency underlying the option.  In the event that the Fund writes call or put options without an offsetting exposure (e.g. call options on a security that the Fund does not own), it bears the risk of substantial losses if the price of the underlying asset increases (calls) or decreases (puts) during the term of the option.  Options expose the Fund to the risk the Fund may not be able to enter into a closing transaction because of an illiquid market.

 

The Fund values exchange traded options at the last sale price, or if no sale is reported, the last bid price for options it has purchased and the last ask price for options it has written.  The Fund values options traded over-the-counter using inputs provided by primary pricing sources and industry models.

 

Investment risks

 

The Fund is subject to risks involved in investing in foreign securities that are not presented by investments in U.S. securities. These risks may involve adverse political and economic developments, including expropriation and the possible imposition of capital controls or other foreign governmental laws or restrictions. In addition, the securities of some foreign companies and securities markets are less liquid and at times may be more volatile than securities of comparable U.S. companies and U.S. securities markets.

 

Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities–Effective March 1, 2009, the Fund adopted FASB Statement of Financial Standards No. 161 “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS 161”). This standard is an amendment to FASB Statement No. 133 (“FASB 133”), “Accounting for Derivative Instruments” which expands the disclosure requirements of FASB 133 regarding an entity’s derivative instruments and hedging activities.

 

The Fund adopted SFAS 161 on March 1, 2009.  As of May 31, 2009, the Fund held no derivative contracts for the purposes of SFAS 161.

Investments held by the underlying funds are valued as follows.   Securities listed on a securities exchange for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price on each business day, or if there is no such reported sale or official closing price, at the most recent quoted bid price, or broker bid (if the private market is more relevant in determining market value than the exchange).  Unlisted securities for which market quotations are readily available are generally valued at the most recent quoted bid price.  Debt instruments with a remaining maturity of sixty days or less are generally valued at amortized cost.  Shares of investment funds are generally valued at their net asset value.  Securities for which quotations are not readily available or whose values the Manager has determined to be unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Trustees or persons acting at their direction pursuant to procedures approved by the Trustees.  Although the goal of fair valuation is to determine the amount the owner of the securities might reasonably expect to receive upon their current sale, because of the uncertainty inherent in fair value pricing, the value determined for a particular security may be materially different than the value realized upon its sale.  Because many foreign equity securities markets and exchanges close prior to the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), closing prices for foreign securities in those markets or on those exchanges do not reflect the events that occur after that close but before the close of the NYSE.  As a result, the Fund generally values foreign equity securities as of the NYSE close using fair value prices, which are based on adjustments to closing prices supplied by a third party vendor using that vendor’s proprietary models.  As of May 31, 2009, 49.69% of the net assets of the Fund, through investments in the underlying funds, were valued using fair value prices based on models used by that third party vendor. Those underlying funds classify such securities under SFAS 157 (as defined below) as level 2.

 

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS 157”). While the adoption of SFAS 157 does not have an effect on the Fund’s net asset value, it does require additional disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 establishes a three-level hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements. The valuation hierarchy is based upon the reliability of inputs to the valuation of the Fund’s investments. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.  The three levels are defined as follows:

 

Level 1 – Valuations based on quoted prices for identical securities in active markets.

 

Level 2 – Valuations determined using other significant direct or indirect observable inputs.

 

Level 3 – Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant. The Fund utilized the following fair value techniques on level 3 investments: The Fund considered interest in certain bankrupt securities to be worthless.

 

The following is a summary of the categorization of investments by inputs used as of May 31, 2009 in valuing the Fund’s investments:

Underlying funds are classified above as either level 1 or level 2 (except for GMO SPV I, LLC, which is a level 3). For the underlying funds’ summary of valuation inputs (including level 3 inputs, if any) please refer to the respective fund’s portfolio valuation note. The aggregate absolute value of the Fund’s direct and indirect investments in securities using level 3 inputs was 0.56% of total net assets.

Investment risks

 

The Fund is indirectly exposed to all of the risks associated with an investment in the underlying funds, including the risk that the underlying funds in which it invests will not perform as expected.  Some underlying funds may invest directly and/or indirectly in foreign securities.  The Fund is subject to risks involved in investing in foreign securities that are not presented by investments in U.S. securities. These risks may involve adverse political and economic developments, including expropriation and the possible imposition of capital controls or other foreign governmental laws or restrictions. In addition, the securities of some foreign companies and securities markets are less liquid and at times more volatile than securities of comparable U.S. companies and U.S. securities markets.  Also, fluctuations in exchange rates may adversely affect the U.S. dollar value of the Fund’s foreign currency holdings and investments denominated in foreign currency.  The risks described above apply to an even greater extent to investments in emerging countries. The securities markets of emerging countries are generally smaller, less developed, less liquid, and more volatile than the securities markets of the U.S. and developed foreign markets. Additionally, the investment risks associated with an investment in the underlying funds may be greater to the extent that the underlying funds engage in derivative transactions.

 

Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities–Effective March 1, 2009, the Fund adopted FASB Statement of Financial Standards No. 161 “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS 161”). This standard is an amendment to FASB Statement No. 133 (“FASB 133”), “Accounting for Derivative Instruments” which expands the disclosure requirements of FASB 133 regarding an entity’s derivative instruments and hedging activities.

 

The Fund adopted SFAS 161 on March 1, 2009.  As of May 31, 2009, the Fund held no derivative contracts for the purposes of SFAS 161.

Portfolio valuation

 

Shares of the underlying funds and other mutual funds are generally valued at their net asset value.

 

Investments held by the underlying funds are valued as follows.  Securities listed on a securities exchange for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price on each business day, or if there is no such reported sale or official closing price, at the most recent quoted bid price, or broker bid (if the private market is more relevant in determining market value than the exchange).  Unlisted securities for which market quotations are readily available are generally valued at the most recent quoted bid price.  Debt instruments with a remaining maturity of sixty days or less are generally valued at amortized cost.  Shares of investment funds are generally valued at their net asset value.  Securities for which quotations are not readily available or whose values the Manager has determined to be unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Trustees or persons acting at their direction pursuant to procedures approved by the Trustees.  Although the goal of fair valuation is to determine the amount the owner of the securities might reasonably expect to receive upon their current sale, because of the uncertainty inherent in fair value pricing, the value determined for a particular security may be materially different than the value realized upon its sale.  Because many foreign equity securities markets and exchanges close prior to the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), closing prices for foreign securities in those markets or on those exchanges do not reflect the events that occur after that close but before the close of the NYSE.  As a result, the Fund generally values foreign equity securities as of the NYSE close using fair value prices, which are based on adjustments to closing prices supplied by a third party vendor using that vendor’s proprietary models.  As of May 31, 2009, 33.44% of the net assets of the Fund, through investments in the underlying funds, were valued using fair value prices based on models used by that third party vendor. Those underlying funds classify such securities under SFAS 157 (as defined below) as level 2.

 

Typically the Fund and the underlying funds value debt instruments based on the most recent bid supplied by a single pricing source chosen by the Manager.  The Manager evaluates pricing sources on an ongoing basis, and may change a pricing source at any time.  The Manager normally does not evaluate the prices supplied by pricing sources on a day-to-day basis.  The Manager monitors erratic or unusual movements (including unusual inactivity) in the prices supplied for a security and has discretion to override a price supplied by a source (e.g., by taking a price supplied by another) when it believes that the price supplied is not reliable.  The prices provided by a pricing source may differ from the value that would be realized if the securities were sold, and the differences could be material. In addition, although alternative prices are available for other securities held by the Fund, those alternative sources would not necessarily confirm the security price used by the Fund. Therefore, the existence of those alternative sources does not necessarily provide greater certainty about the prices used by the Fund.  As of May 31, 2009, the total value of securities held directly and indirectly for which no alternative pricing source was available represented 2.97% of the net assets of the Fund.

 

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS 157”). While the adoption of SFAS 157 does not have an effect on the Fund’s net asset value, it does require additional disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 establishes a three-level hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements. The valuation hierarchy is based upon the reliability of inputs to the valuation of the Fund’s investments. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.  The three levels are defined as follows:

 

Level 1 – Valuations based on quoted prices for identical securities in active markets.

 

Level 2 – Valuations determined using other significant direct or indirect observable inputs.

 

Level 3 – Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant.  The Fund utilized the following fair value techniques on level 3 investments: The Fund valued debt securities using bids received from primary pricing sources.

 

The following is a summary of the categorization of investments by inputs used as of May 31, 2009 in valuing the Fund’s investments:

Underlying funds are classified above as either level 1 or level 2. For the underlying funds’ summary of valuation inputs (including level 3 inputs, if any) please refer to the respective fund’s portfolio valuation note.  The aggregate absolute values of the Fund’s direct and indirect investments in securities and other financial instruments using level 3 inputs were 11.16% and 0.02% of total net assets, respectively.

Foreign currency translation

 

The market values of foreign securities, currency holdings and related assets and liabilities are translated to U.S. dollars based on the 4 p.m. New York time exchange rates each business day.  Income and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the 4 p.m. New York time exchange rates on the business day the income and expenses are accrued or incurred.  The Fund does not isolate realized and unrealized gains and losses attributable to changes in exchange rates from gains and losses that arise from changes in the market value of investments.  Such fluctuations are included with net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments.  Net realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions represent gains and losses on disposition of currencies and forward currency contracts, currency gains and losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amount of investment income and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s accounting records and the U.S. dollar equivalent amounts actually received or paid.

 

Investment risks

 

The Fund is indirectly exposed to all of the risks associated with an investment in the underlying funds, including the risk that the underlying funds in which it invests will not perform as expected.  Some underlying funds may invest in foreign securities and asset-backed securities. The Fund is subject to risks involved in investing in foreign securities that are not presented by investments in U.S. securities. These risks may involve adverse political and economic developments, including expropriation and the possible imposition of capital controls or other foreign governmental laws or restrictions. In addition, the securities of some foreign companies and securities markets are less liquid and at times more volatile than securities of comparable U.S. companies and U.S. securities markets. Also, fluctuations in exchange rates may adversely affect the U.S. dollar value of the Fund’s foreign currency holdings and investments denominated in foreign currency.  The risks described above apply to an even greater extent to investments in emerging countries. The securities markets of emerging countries are generally smaller, less developed, less liquid, and more volatile than the securities markets of the U.S. and developed foreign markets. Additionally, the investment risks associated with an investment in the underlying funds may be greater to the extent that the underlying funds engage in derivative transactions.

 

The Fund invests (including through investment in underlying funds) in asset-backed securities, which may be backed in whole or in part by many types of assets, including pools of residential and commercial mortgages, automobile loans, educational loans, home equity loans, or credit-card receivables, which bring additional types of market risk.  Asset-backed securities also may be collateralized by the fees earned by service providers. They also may be backed by pools of corporate or sovereign bonds, bank loans made to corporations, or a combination of these bonds and loans (commonly referred to as “collateralized debt obligations”). Payment of interest on asset-backed securities and repayment of principal largely depend on the cash flows generated by the underlying assets backing the securities. The amount of market risk associated with asset-backed securities depends on many factors, including the deal structure (e.g., determination as to the amount of underlying assets or other support needed to produce the cash flows necessary to service interest and make principal payments), the quality of the underlying assets, the level of credit support, if any, provided for the securities, and the credit quality of the credit-support provider, if any.  Asset-backed securities involve risk of loss of principal if obligors of the underlying obligations default in payment of the obligations and the defaulted obligations exceed the credit support. The obligations of issuers (and obligors of underlying assets) also are subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, and other laws affecting the rights and remedies of creditors.  Many asset-backed securities are now rated below investment grade.

 

With the deterioration of worldwide economic and liquidity conditions that became acute in 2008, the markets for asset-backed securities became fractured and uncertainty about the creditworthiness of those securities (and underlying collateral) caused credit spreads (the

 



 

difference between yields on the asset-backed securities and U.S. Government securities) to widen dramatically. Concurrently, systemic risks of the type evidenced by the insolvency of Lehman Brothers and subsequent market disruptions reduced the ability of financial institutions to make markets in many fixed income securities generally. These events reduced liquidity for securitized credits and contributed to substantial declines in the value of asset-backed and other fixed income securities. There can be no assurance these conditions will not continue or that they will not deteriorate further. Also, government actions and proposals affecting the terms of underlying home and consumer loans, changes in demand for products (e.g., automobiles) financed by those loans, and the inability of borrowers to refinance existing loans (e.g., sub-prime mortgages), have had, and may continue to have, adverse valuation and liquidity effects on asset-backed securities. There can be no assurance that in the future the market for asset-backed securities will become more liquid.

 

The value of an asset-backed security may depend on the servicing of its underlying assets and is, therefore, subject to risks associated with the negligence or defalcation of its servicer. In some circumstances, the mishandling of related documentation also may affect the rights of security holders in and to the underlying collateral. The insolvency of entities that generate receivables or that utilize the assets may result in a decline in the value of the underlying assets, as well as costs and delays.  In addition, asset-backed securities representing diverse sectors (e.g., auto loans, student loans, sub-prime mortgages, and credit-card receivables) have become more highly correlated since the deterioration of worldwide economic and liquidity conditions referred to above.

 

Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities–Effective March 1, 2009, the Fund adopted FASB Statement of Financial Standards No. 161 “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS 161”). This standard is an amendment to FASB Statement No. 133 (“FASB 133”), “Accounting for Derivative Instruments” which expands the disclosure requirements of FASB 133 regarding an entity’s derivative instruments and hedging activities.

 

The Fund adopted SFAS 161 on March 1, 2009.  As of May 31, 2009, the Fund held no derivative contracts for the purposes of SFAS 161.

Receive - Fund receives premium and sells credit protection.

 

(Pay) - Fund pays premium and buys credit protection.

(1)

Implied credit spreads, represented in absolute terms, utilized in determining the market value of credit default swap agreements on the reference security, as of May 31, 2009, serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk and reflect the likelihood or risk of default for the credit derivative.  The implied credit spread of a particular referenced entity reflects the cost of buying/selling protection and may include upfront payments required to be made to enter into the agreement.  Wider (i.e. higher) credit spreads represent a deterioration of the referenced entity’s credit soundness and a greater likelihood or risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the agreement.

(2)

The maximum potential amount the Fund could be required to make as a seller of credit protection if a credit event occurs as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement.

 

As of May 31, 2009, for the futures and/or swap contracts held, the Fund had sufficient cash and/or securities to cover any commitments or margin requirements of the relevant broker or exchange.

 

Notes to Schedule of Investments:

 

(a)

All or a portion of this security has been pledged to cover margin requirements on open financial futures contracts and/or collateral on open swap contracts.

(b)

Indexed security in which price and/or coupon is linked to the prices of a specific instrument or financial statistic.

(c)

Underlying investment represents interests in defaulted securities.

(d)

Security valued at fair value using methods determined in good faith by or at the direction of the Trustees of GMO Trust.

 



 

Portfolio valuation

 

Securities listed on a securities exchange for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price on each business day, or if there is no such reported sale or official closing price, at the most recent quoted bid price, or broker bid (if the private market is more relevant in determining market value than the exchange).  Unlisted securities for which market quotations are readily available are generally valued at the most recent quoted bid price.  Debt instruments with a remaining maturity of sixty days or less are generally valued at amortized cost.  Shares of investment funds are generally valued at their net asset value.  Securities for which quotations are not readily available or whose values the Manager has determined to be unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Trustees or persons acting at their direction pursuant to procedures approved by the Trustees.  Although the goal of fair valuation is to determine the amount the owner of the securities might reasonably expect to receive upon their current sale, because of the uncertainty inherent in fair value pricing, the value determined for a particular security may be materially different than the value realized upon its sale.  For information about the pricing of some specific positions (e.g. swaps) see descriptions below.

 

Typically the Fund and the underlying funds value debt instruments based on the most recent bid supplied by a single pricing source chosen by the Manager.  The Manager evaluates pricing sources on an ongoing basis, and may change a pricing source at any time.  The Manager normally does not evaluate the prices supplied by pricing sources on a day-to-day basis.  The Manager monitors erratic or unusual movements (including unusual inactivity) in the prices supplied for a security and has discretion to override a price supplied by a source (e.g., by taking a price supplied by another) when it believes that the price supplied is not reliable.  The prices provided by a pricing source may differ from the value that would be realized if the securities were sold, and the differences could be material. In addition, although alternative prices are available for other securities held by the Fund, those alternative sources would not necessarily confirm the security price used by the Fund. Therefore, the existence of those alternative sources does not necessarily provide greater certainty about the prices used by the Fund.  As of May 31, 2009, the total value of securities held directly and indirectly for which no alternative pricing source was available represented 21.65% of the net assets of the Fund.

 

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS 157”). While the adoption of SFAS 157 does not have an effect on the Fund’s net asset value, it does require additional disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 establishes a three-level hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements. The valuation hierarchy is based upon the reliability of inputs to the valuation of the Fund’s investments. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.  The three levels are defined as follows:

 

Level 1 – Valuations based on quoted prices for identical securities in active markets.

 

Level 2 – Valuations determined using other significant direct or indirect observable inputs.

 

Level 3 – Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant. The Fund utilized the following fair value techniques on Level 3 investments: The Fund considered interest in certain bankrupt securities to be worthless.

 

The following is a summary of the categorization of investments by inputs used as of May 31, 2009 in valuing the Fund’s investments:

Underlying funds are classified above as either level 1 or level 2 (except for GMO special Purpose Holding Fund, which is a level 3).  For the underlying funds’ summary of valuation inputs (including level 3 inputs, if any) please refer to the respective fund’s portfolio valuation note.  The aggregate absolute value of the Fund’s direct and indirect investments in securities and other financial instruments using level 3 inputs were 68.36% and 0.20% of total net assets, respectively.

Foreign currency translation

 

The market values of foreign securities, currency holdings and related assets and liabilities are translated to U.S. dollars based on the 4 p.m. New York time exchange rates each business day.  Income and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the 4 p.m. New York time exchange rates on the business day the income and expenses are accrued or incurred.  The Fund does not isolate realized and unrealized gains and losses attributable to changes in exchange rates from gains and losses that arise from changes in the market value of investments.  Such fluctuations are included with net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments.  Net realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions represent gains and losses on disposition of currencies and forward currency contracts, currency gains and losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amount of investment income and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s accounting records and the U.S. dollar equivalent amounts actually received or paid.

 

Forward currency contracts

 

The Fund may enter into forward currency contracts, including forward cross currency contracts.  A forward currency contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell a currency at a set price on a future date (or to pay or receive the amounts of the change in relative values of the two currencies).  The market value of a forward currency contract fluctuates with changes in forward currency exchange rates.  Forward currency contracts are marked to market daily using rates supplied by a quotation service and changes in value are recorded by the Fund as unrealized gains or losses.  Realized gains or losses on the contracts are 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.  These contracts involve market risk in excess of the unrealized gain or loss.  They expose the Fund to the risk of unfavorable movements in currency values and the risk that the counterparty will be unable or unwilling to meet the terms of the contracts.

 

Futures contracts

 

The Fund may purchase and sell futures contracts.  A futures contract is a contract that obligates the holder to buy or sell an asset at a predetermined delivery price during a specified future time period.  Some futures contracts are net (cash) settled. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to deposit cash, U.S. government and agency obligations, or other liquid assets with the futures clearing broker in accordance with the initial margin requirements of the broker or exchange.  Futures contracts are marked to market daily and an appropriate payable or receivable for the change in value (“variation margin”) is recorded by the Fund.  The payable or receivable is settled on the following business day.  Gains or losses are recognized but not considered realized until the contracts expire or are closed.  Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of the variation margin.  Under some circumstances, futures exchanges may establish daily limits on the amount that the price of a futures contract can vary from the previous day’s settlement price, thereby effectively preventing liquidation of unfavorable positions.  Losses may arise from changes in the value of the underlying instrument if the Fund is unable to liquidate a futures position due to an illiquid market for the contract, the imposition of price limits or the failure of counterparty to perform under the contract terms.  Futures contracts are

 



 

generally valued at the settlement price established at the close of business each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded.

 

Options

 

The Fund may purchase put and call options.  A call option gives the holder the right to buy an asset; a put option gives the holder the right to sell an asset.  Purchasing options alters the Fund’s exposure to the underlying instrument by, in the case of a call option, entitling the Fund to purchase the underlying instrument at a set price from the writer of the option and, in the case of a put option, entitling the Fund to sell the underlying instrument at a set price to the writer of the option.  The Fund pays a premium for a purchased option.  That premium is disclosed in the Schedule of Investments and is subsequently marked to market to reflect the current value of the option.  Premiums paid for options that expire are treated as realized losses.  Premiums paid for options that are exercised or closed are deducted from the proceeds of the closing transaction to determine the realized gain or loss.  The risk associated with purchasing put and call options is limited to the premium paid.

 

The Fund may write (i.e., sell) call and put options.   Writing options alters the Fund’s exposure to the underlying instrument by, in the case of a call option, obligating the Fund to sell the underlying instrument at a set price to the option-holder and, in the case of a put option, obligating the Fund to purchase the underlying instrument at a set price from the option-holder. In some cases (e.g. index options), settlement will be in cash. When the Fund writes a call or put option, an amount equal to the premium received is recorded as a liability and subsequently marked to market to reflect the current value of the option written.  Premiums received from writing options that expire are treated as realized gains.  Premiums received from writing options that are exercised or closed are deducted from the amounts paid on the underlying future, security or currency transaction to determine the realized gain or loss.  The Fund as a writer of an option has no control over whether the underlying future, security or currency may be sold (call) or purchased (put) and as a result bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the future, security or currency underlying the option.  In the event that the Fund writes call or put options without an offsetting exposure (e.g. call options on a security that the Fund does not own), it bears the risk of substantial losses if the price of the underlying asset increases (calls) or decreases (puts) during the term of the option.  Options expose the Fund to the risk the Fund may not be able to enter into a closing transaction because of an illiquid market.

 

The Fund values exchange traded options at the last sale price, or if no sale is reported, the last bid price for options it has purchased and the last ask price for options it has written.  The Fund values options traded over-the-counter using inputs provided by primary pricing sources and industry models.

 

Indexed securities

 

The Fund may invest in indexed securities.  Indexed securities are securities whose values and/or coupons are linked to the prices of a specific instrument, group of instruments or financial statistic.

 

Swap agreements

 

The Fund may enter into various types of swap agreements, including without limitation, swaps on securities and securities indices, interest rate swaps, total return swaps, credit default swaps, variance swaps, commodity swaps, inflation swaps and other types of available swaps.  A swap agreement is an agreement to exchange the return generated by one instrument for the return generated by another instrument.  Some swap contracts are net settled. When entering into a swap agreement, the Fund and/or the swap counterparty may post or receive cash or securities as collateral and will typically post or receive additional collateral as market values change.

 

Interest rate swap agreements involve an exchange by the parties of their respective commitments to pay or right to receive interest, e.g., an exchange of floating rate interest payments for fixed rate interest payments with respect to the notional amount of principal.

 

Total return swap agreements involve a commitment by one party to pay interest to the other party in exchange for a payment to it from the other party based on the return of a reference instrument (e.g., a security or basket of securities), both based on notional amounts. To the extent the return of the reference instrument exceeds or falls short of the interest payments, one party will receive a payment from or make a payment to the other party.

 

In a credit default swap agreement, one party makes payments to another party in exchange for the right to receive a specified return if a credit event occurs with respect to a referenced entity or entities.  Buying credit default protection reduces the buyer’s exposure (or increases negative exposure) in the event of an issuer’s default (e.g., it is intended to reduce risk where a party owns a security issued by or otherwise has exposure to the issuer).  Selling credit default protection subjects the seller to exposure to an issuer’s default or other credit events.  A seller of credit default protection receives payments in return for its obligation to pay the principal amount of a debt security (or other agreed-upon value) to the other party upon the occurrence of a credit event (e.g., issuer default or similar event).  If no credit event occurs, the seller has no payment obligations.  For credit default swap agreements on asset-backed securities, a credit event may be triggered by various events, which may include an issuer’s failure to pay interest or principal, a breach of a material representation or covenant, an agreement by the holders of an asset-backed security to a maturity extension, or a write-down on the collateral underlying the security.  For credit default swap agreements on corporate or sovereign issuers, a credit event may be triggered by such events as the issuer’s bankruptcy, failure to pay interest or principal, repudiation/moratorium or restructuring.

 



 

Variance swap agreements involve an agreement by two parties to exchange cash flows based on the measured variance (or square of volatility) of a specified underlying asset. One party agrees to exchange a “fixed rate” or strike price payment for the “floating rate” or realized price variance on the underlying asset with respect to the notional amount. At inception, the strike price chosen is generally fixed at a level such that the fair value of the swap is zero. As a result, no money changes hands at the initiation of the contract. At the expiration date, the amount paid by one party to the other is the difference between the realized price variance of the underlying asset and the strike price multiplied by the notional amount. A receiver of the realized price variance would receive a payment when the realized price variance of the underlying asset is greater than the strike price and would make a payment when that variance is less than the strike price. A payer of the realized price variance would make a payment when the realized price variance of the underlying asset is greater than the strike price and would receive a payment when that variance is less than the strike price. This type of agreement is essentially a forward contract on the future realized price variance of the underlying asset.

 

The Fund prices its swap agreements daily using models that may incorporate quotations from market makers and records the change in value, if any, as unrealized gain or loss.  Payments received or made on swap agreements are recorded as realized gain or loss.  Gains or losses are realized upon termination of the swap agreements, or reset dates as appropriate.

 

Swap agreements generally are not traded on financial markets. The values assigned to them may differ significantly from the values that would be realized upon termination, and the differences could be material. Entering into swap agreements involves counterparty credit, legal, and documentation risk that is generally not reflected in the models used to price the swap agreement.  Such risks include the possibility that the party with whom the Fund contracts may default on its obligations to perform or disagree as to the meaning of contractual terms, that the Fund has amounts on deposit in excess of amounts owed by the Fund, or that the collateral the other party posts may be insufficient or not timely received by the Fund.  Specifically, the amount shown as owed to the Fund under a swap agreement is not reduced if there is uncertainty about the counterparty’s willingness or ability to pay.  Credit risk is particularly acute in economic environments in which financial services firms are exposed to systemic risks of the type evidenced by the insolvency of Lehman Brothers in 2008 and subsequent market disruptions.

 

Reverse repurchase agreements

 

The Fund may enter into reverse repurchase agreements.  Under a reverse repurchase agreement the Fund sells portfolio assets subject to an agreement by the Fund to repurchase the same assets at a later date at a fixed price.  Also, if the buyer in a reverse repurchase agreement files for bankruptcy or becomes insolvent, the Fund may be unable to recover the securities it sold and as a result would realize a loss equal to the difference between the value of the securities and the payment it received for them.  This loss would be greater to the extent the buyer paid less than the value of the securities the Fund sold to it (e.g., a buyer may pay $95 for a bond with a market value of $100).  The Fund’s use of proceeds from the sale of its securities may be restricted while the other party or its trustee or receiver determines whether to honor the Fund’s right to repurchase the securities.

 

Investment risks

 

The Fund is subject to risks involved in investing in foreign securities that are not presented by investments in U.S. securities. These risks may involve adverse political and economic developments, including expropriation and the possible imposition of capital controls or other foreign governmental laws or restrictions. In addition, the securities of some foreign companies and securities markets are less liquid and at times may be more volatile than securities of comparable U.S. companies and U.S. securities markets. Also, fluctuations in exchange rates may adversely affect the U.S. dollar value of the Fund’s foreign currency holdings and investments denominated in foreign currency.  The risks described above apply to an even greater extent to investments in emerging countries. The securities markets of emerging countries are generally smaller, less developed, less liquid, and more volatile than the securities markets of the U.S. and developed foreign markets.  Additionally, the investment risks associated with an investment in the underlying funds may be greater to the extent that the underlying funds engage in derivative transactions.

 

The Fund invests (including through investment in underlying funds) in asset-backed securities, which may be backed in whole or in part by many types of assets, including pools of residential and commercial mortgages, automobile loans, educational loans, home equity loans, or credit-card receivables, which bring additional types of market risk.  Asset-backed securities also may be collateralized by the fees earned by service providers. They also may be backed by pools of corporate or sovereign bonds, bank loans made to corporations, or a combination of these bonds and loans (commonly referred to as “collateralized debt obligations”). Payment of interest on asset-backed securities and repayment of principal largely depend on the cash flows generated by the underlying assets backing the securities. The amount of market risk associated with asset-backed securities depends on many factors, including the deal structure (e.g., determination as to the amount of underlying assets or other support needed to produce the cash flows necessary to service interest and make principal payments), the quality of the underlying assets, the level of credit support, if any, provided for the securities, and the credit quality of the credit-support provider, if any.  Asset-backed securities involve risk of loss of principal if obligors of the underlying obligations default in payment of the obligations and the defaulted obligations exceed the credit support. The obligations of issuers (and obligors of underlying assets) also are subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, and other laws affecting the rights and remedies of creditors.  Many asset-backed securities are now rated below investment grade.

 



 

With the deterioration of worldwide economic and liquidity conditions that became acute in 2008, the markets for asset-backed securities became fractured and uncertainty about the creditworthiness of those securities (and underlying collateral) caused credit spreads (the difference between yields on the asset-backed securities and U.S. Government securities) to widen dramatically. Concurrently, systemic risks of the type evidenced by the insolvency of Lehman Brothers and subsequent market disruptions reduced the ability of financial institutions to make markets in many fixed income securities generally.  These events reduced liquidity for securitized credits and contributed to substantial declines in the value of asset-backed and other fixed income securities. There can be no assurance these conditions will not continue or that they will not deteriorate further. Also, government actions and proposals affecting the terms of underlying home and consumer loans, changes in demand for products (e.g., automobiles) financed by those loans, and the inability of borrowers to refinance existing loans (e.g., sub-prime mortgages), have had, and may continue to have, adverse valuation and liquidity effects on asset-backed securities. There can be no assurance that in the future the market for asset-backed securities will become more liquid.

 

The value of an asset-backed security may depend on the servicing of its underlying assets and is, therefore, subject to risks associated with the negligence or defalcation of its servicer. In some circumstances, the mishandling of related documentation also may affect the rights of security holders in and to the underlying collateral. The insolvency of entities that generate receivables or that utilize the assets may result in a decline in the value of the underlying assets, as well as costs and delays.  In addition, asset-backed securities representing diverse sectors (e.g., auto loans, student loans, sub-prime mortgages, and credit-card receivables) have become more highly correlated since the deterioration of worldwide economic and liquidity conditions referred to above.

 

The Fund uses its cash balance to meet its derivative collateral obligations and for other purposes. There is no assurance that the Fund’s cash balance will be sufficient to meet its collateral obligations arising under its derivatives.  If it is not, the Fund would be required to liquidate other positions. That may include redeeming shares of GMO Short Duration Collateral Fund (“SDCF”) and/or GMO World Opportunity Overlay Fund (“WOOF”), in which case the Fund would receive redemption proceeds in-kind from SDCF and/or WOOF and would then be required to dispose of those assets (mostly asset-backed securities) in the current adverse market conditions.  To manage the Fund’s cash collateral needs in the current extraordinary market conditions, the Manager reserves the right to reduce or eliminate the Fund’s derivative exposures, including those that are intended to cause the Fund to track its benchmark more closely. A reduction in those exposures may tend to cause the performance of the Fund to track its benchmark less closely and make the Fund’s performance more dependent on the performance of the asset-backed securities it holds directly or indirectly.

 

To address in part the cash management issues described above, the Fund may effect nearly all significant redemptions of its shares in-kind. If redeeming shareholders from the Fund choose to sell assets received in-kind immediately and current adverse market conditions continue, they may experience difficulty selling the assets at favorable prices.  The Fund may establish de minimis amounts below which redemptions may be honored for cash. Amounts available for cash redemptions could be increased and/or redemption fees could be reduced if conditions in the bond market improve. These amounts can and will change without prior notice.

 

Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities–Effective March 1, 2009, the Fund adopted FASB Statement of Financial Standards No. 161 “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS 161”). This standard is an amendment to FASB Statement No. 133 (“FASB 133”), “Accounting for Derivative Instruments” which expands the disclosure requirements of FASB 133 regarding an entity’s derivative instruments and hedging activities.

Portfolio valuation

 

Securities listed on a securities exchange for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price on each business day, or if there is no such reported sale or official closing price, at the most recent quoted bid price, or broker bid (if the private market is more relevant in determining market value than the exchange).  Unlisted securities for which market quotations are readily available are generally valued at the most recent quoted bid price.  Debt instruments with a remaining maturity of sixty days or less are generally valued at amortized cost.  Shares of investment funds are generally valued at their net asset value.  Securities for which quotations are not readily available or whose values the Manager has determined to be unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Trustees or persons acting at their direction pursuant to procedures approved by the Trustees.  Although the goal of fair valuation is to determine the amount the owner of the securities might reasonably expect to receive upon their current sale, because of the uncertainty inherent in fair value pricing, the value determined for a particular security may be materially different than the value realized upon its sale.  For information about the pricing of some specific positions (e.g. swaps) see descriptions below.

 

Typically the Fund and the underlying funds value debt instruments based on the most recent bid supplied by a single pricing source chosen by the Manager.  The Manager evaluates pricing sources on an ongoing basis, and may change a pricing source at any time.  The Manager normally does not evaluate the prices supplied by pricing sources on a day-to-day basis.  The Manager monitors erratic or unusual movements (including unusual inactivity) in the prices supplied for a security and has discretion to override a price supplied by a source (e.g., by taking a price supplied by another) when it believes that the price supplied is not reliable.  The prices provided by a pricing source may differ from the value that would be realized if the securities were sold, and the differences could be material. In addition, although alternative prices are available for other securities held by the Fund, those alternative sources would not necessarily confirm the security price used by the Fund. Therefore, the existence of those alternative sources does not necessarily provide greater certainty about the prices used by the Fund.  As of May 31, 2009, the total value of securities held directly and indirectly for which no alternative pricing source was available represented 15.29% of the net assets of the Fund.

 

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS 157”). While the adoption of SFAS 157 does not have an effect on the Fund’s net asset value, it does require additional disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 establishes a three-level hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements. The valuation hierarchy is based upon the reliability of inputs to the valuation of the Fund’s investments. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.  The three levels are defined as follows:

 

Level 1 – Valuations based on quoted prices for identical securities in active markets.

 

Level 2 – Valuations determined using other significant direct or indirect observable inputs.

 

Level 3 – Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant. The Fund utilized the following fair value techniques on level 3 investments: The Fund considered interest in certain bankrupt securities to be worthless.

 

The following is a summary of the categorization of investments by inputs used as of May 31, 2009 in valuing the Fund’s investments:

The market values of foreign securities, currency holdings and related assets and liabilities are translated to U.S. dollars based on the 4 p.m. New York time exchange rates each business day.  Income and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the 4 p.m. New York time exchange rates on the business day the income and expenses are accrued or incurred.  The Fund does not isolate realized and unrealized gains and losses attributable to changes in exchange rates from gains and losses that arise from changes in the market value of investments.  Such fluctuations are included with net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments.  Net realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions represent gains and losses on disposition of currencies and forward currency contracts, currency gains and losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amount of investment income and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s accounting records and the U.S. dollar equivalent amounts actually received or paid.

 

Forward currency contracts

 

The Fund may enter into forward currency contracts, including forward cross currency contracts.  A forward currency contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell a currency at a set price on a future date (or to pay or receive the amounts of the change in relative values of the two currencies).  The market value of a forward currency contract fluctuates with changes in forward currency exchange rates.  Forward currency contracts are marked to market daily using rates supplied by a quotation service and changes in value are recorded by the Fund as unrealized gains or losses.  Realized gains or losses on the contracts are 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.  These contracts involve market risk in excess of the unrealized gain or loss.  They expose the Fund to the risk of unfavorable movements in currency values and the risk that the counterparty will be unable or unwilling to meet the terms of the contracts.

 

Futures contracts

 

The Fund may purchase and sell futures contracts.  A futures contract is a contract that obligates the holder to buy or sell an asset at a predetermined delivery price during a specified future time period.  Some futures contracts are net (cash) settled. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to deposit cash, U.S. government and agency obligations, or other liquid assets with the futures clearing broker in accordance with the initial margin requirements of the broker or exchange.  Futures contracts are marked to market daily and an appropriate payable or receivable for the change in value (“variation margin”) is recorded by the Fund.  The payable or receivable is settled on the following business day.  Gains or losses are recognized but not considered realized until the contracts expire or are closed.  Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of the variation margin.  Under some circumstances, futures exchanges may establish daily limits on the amount that the price of a futures contract can vary from the previous day’s settlement price, thereby effectively preventing liquidation of unfavorable positions.  Losses may arise from changes in the value of the underlying instrument if the Fund is unable to liquidate a futures position due to an illiquid market for the contract, the imposition of price limits or the failure of counterparty to perform under the contract terms.  Futures contracts are generally valued at the settlement price established at the close of business each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded.

 



 

Options

 

The Fund may purchase put and call options.  A call option gives the holder the right to buy an asset; a put option gives the holder the right to sell an asset.  Purchasing options alters the Fund’s exposure to the underlying instrument by, in the case of a call option, entitling the Fund to purchase the underlying instrument at a set price from the writer of the option and, in the case of a put option, entitling the Fund to sell the underlying instrument at a set price to the writer of the option.  The Fund pays a premium for a purchased option.  That premium is disclosed in the Schedule of Investments and is subsequently marked to market to reflect the current value of the option.  Premiums paid for options that expire are treated as realized losses.  Premiums paid for options that are exercised or closed are deducted from the proceeds of the closing transaction to determine the realized gain or loss.  The risk associated with purchasing put and call options is limited to the premium paid.

 

The Fund may write (i.e., sell) call and put options.  Writing options alters the Fund’s exposure to the underlying instrument by, in the case of a call option, obligating the Fund to sell the underlying instrument at a set price to the option-holder and, in the case of a put option, obligating the Fund to purchase the underlying instrument at a set price from the option-holder. In some cases (e.g. index options), settlement will be in cash. When the Fund writes a call or put option, an amount equal to the premium received is recorded as a liability and subsequently marked to market to reflect the current value of the option written.  Premiums received from writing options that expire are treated as realized gains.  Premiums received from writing options that are exercised or closed are deducted from the amounts paid on the underlying future, security or currency transaction to determine the realized gain or loss.  The Fund as a writer of an option has no control over whether the underlying future, security or currency may be sold (call) or purchased (put) and as a result bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the future, security or currency underlying the option.  In the event that the Fund writes call or put options without an offsetting exposure (e.g. call options on a security that the Fund does not own), it bears the risk of substantial losses if the price of the underlying asset increases (calls) or decreases (puts) during the term of the option.  Options expose the Fund to the risk the Fund may not be able to enter into a closing transaction because of an illiquid market.

 

The Fund values exchange traded options at the last sale price, or if no sale is reported, the last bid price for options it has purchased and the last ask price for options it has written.  The Fund values options traded over-the-counter using inputs provided by primary pricing sources and industry models.

 

Loan agreements

 

The Fund may invest in loans to corporate, governmental, or other borrowers. The Fund’s investments in loans may be in the form of participations in loans or assignments of all or a portion of loans from third parties.  A loan is often administered by a bank or other financial institution (the “lender”) that acts as agent for all holders. The agent administers the terms of the loan, as specified in the loan agreement.  When investing in a loan participation, (i) the Fund has the right to receive payments of principal, interest and any fees to which it is entitled only from the lender selling the participation in the loan agreement and only upon receipt by the lender of payments from the borrower and (ii) the Fund generally has no right to enforce compliance by the borrower with the terms of the loan agreement. As a result, the Fund may be subject to the credit risk of both the borrower and the lender that has sold the participation in the loan agreement.  When the Fund purchases assignments from lenders, it acquires direct rights against the borrower on the loan.

 

Indexed securities

 

The Fund may invest in indexed securities.  Indexed securities are securities whose values and/or coupons are linked to the prices of a specific instrument, group of instruments or financial statistic.

 

Swap agreements

 

The Fund may enter into various types of swap agreements, including without limitation, swaps on securities and securities indices, interest rate swaps, total return swaps, credit default swaps, variance swaps, commodity swaps, inflation swaps and other types of available swaps.  A swap agreement is an agreement to exchange the return generated by one instrument for the return generated by another instrument.  Some swap contracts are net settled. When entering into a swap agreement, the Fund and/or the swap counterparty may post or receive cash or securities as collateral and will typically post or receive additional collateral as market values change.

 

Interest rate swap agreements involve an exchange by the parties of their respective commitments to pay or right to receive interest, e.g., an exchange of floating rate interest payments for fixed rate interest payments with respect to the notional amount of principal.

 

Total return swap agreements involve a commitment by one party to pay interest to the other party in exchange for a payment to it from the other party based on the return of a reference instrument (e.g., a security or basket of securities), both based on notional amounts. To the extent the return of the reference instrument exceeds or falls short of the interest payments, one party will receive a payment from or make a payment to the other party.

 

In a credit default swap agreement, one party makes payments to another party in exchange for the right to receive a specified return if a credit event occurs with respect to a referenced entity or entities.  Buying credit default protection reduces the buyer’s exposure (or increases negative exposure) in the event of an issuer’s default (e.g., it is intended to reduce risk where a party owns a security issued by or otherwise has exposure to the issuer).  Selling credit default protection subjects the seller to exposure to an issuer’s default or other credit events.  A seller of credit default protection receives payments in return for its obligation to pay the principal amount of a debt security (or other agreed-upon value) to the other party upon the occurrence of a credit event (e.g., issuer default or similar event).  If no credit event

 



 

occurs, the seller has no payment obligations.  For credit default swap agreements on asset-backed securities, a credit event may be triggered by various events, which may include an issuer’s failure to pay interest or principal, a breach of a material representation or covenant, an agreement by the holders of an asset-backed security to a maturity extension, or a write-down on the collateral underlying the security.  For credit default swap agreements on corporate or sovereign issuers, a credit event may be triggered by such events as the issuer’s bankruptcy, failure to pay interest or principal, repudiation/moratorium or restructuring.

 

Variance swap agreements involve an agreement by two parties to exchange cash flows based on the measured variance (or square of volatility) of a specified underlying asset. One party agrees to exchange a “fixed rate” or strike price payment for the “floating rate” or realized price variance on the underlying asset with respect to the notional amount. At inception, the strike price chosen is generally fixed at a level such that the fair value of the swap is zero. As a result, no money changes hands at the initiation of the contract. At the expiration date, the amount paid by one party to the other is the difference between the realized price variance of the underlying asset and the strike price multiplied by the notional amount. A receiver of the realized price variance would receive a payment when the realized price variance of the underlying asset is greater than the strike price and would make a payment when that variance is less than the strike price. A payer of the realized price variance would make a payment when the realized price variance of the underlying asset is greater than the strike price and would receive a payment when that variance is less than the strike price. This type of agreement is essentially a forward contract on the future realized price variance of the underlying asset.

 

The Fund prices its swap agreements daily using models that may incorporate quotations from market makers and records the change in value, if any, as unrealized gain or loss.  Payments received or made on swap agreements are recorded as realized gain or loss.  Gains or losses are realized upon termination of the swap agreements, or reset dates as appropriate.

 

Swap agreements generally are not traded on financial markets. The values assigned to them may differ significantly from the values that would be realized upon termination, and the differences could be material. Entering into swap agreements involves counterparty credit, legal, and documentation risk that is generally not reflected in the models used to price the swap agreement.  Such risks include the possibility that the party with whom the Fund contracts may default on its obligations to perform or disagree as to the meaning of contractual terms, that the Fund has amounts on deposit in excess of amounts owed by the Fund, or that the collateral the other party posts may be insufficient or not timely received by the Fund.  Specifically, the amount shown as owed to the Fund under a swap agreement is not reduced if there is uncertainty about the counterparty’s willingness or ability to pay.  Credit risk is particularly acute in economic environments in which financial services firms are exposed to systemic risks of the type evidenced by the insolvency of Lehman Brothers in 2008 and subsequent market disruptions.

 

Reverse repurchase agreements

 

The Fund may enter into reverse repurchase agreements.  Under a reverse repurchase agreement the Fund sells portfolio assets subject to an agreement by the Fund to repurchase the same assets at a later date at a fixed price.  Also, if the buyer in a reverse repurchase agreement files for bankruptcy or becomes insolvent, the Fund may be unable to recover the securities it sold and as a result would realize a loss equal to the difference between the value of the securities and the payment it received for them.  This loss would be greater to the extent the buyer paid less than the value of the securities the Fund sold to it (e.g., a buyer may pay $95 for a bond with a market value of $100).  The Fund’s use of proceeds from the sale of its securities may be restricted while the other party or its trustee or receiver determines whether to honor the Fund’s right to repurchase the securities.

 

Investment risks

 

The Fund is subject to risks involved in investing in foreign securities that are not presented by investments in U.S. securities. These risks may involve adverse political and economic developments, including expropriation and the possible imposition of capital controls or other foreign governmental laws or restrictions. In addition, the securities of some foreign companies and securities markets are less liquid and at times may be more volatile than securities of comparable U.S. companies and U.S. securities markets. Also, fluctuations in exchange rates may adversely affect the U.S. dollar value of the Fund’s foreign currency holdings and investments denominated in foreign currency.  The risks described above apply to an even greater extent to investments in emerging countries. The securities markets of emerging countries are generally smaller, less developed, less liquid, and more volatile than the securities markets of the U.S. and developed foreign markets.  Additionally, the investment risks associated with an investment in the underlying funds may be greater to the extent that the underlying funds engage in derivative transactions.

 

The Fund invests (including through investment in underlying funds) in asset-backed securities, which may be backed in whole or in part by many types of assets, including pools of residential and commercial mortgages, automobile loans, educational loans, home equity loans, or credit-card receivables, which bring additional types of market risk.  Asset-backed securities also may be collateralized by the fees earned by service providers. They also may be backed by pools of corporate or sovereign bonds, bank loans made to corporations, or a combination of these bonds and loans (commonly referred to as “collateralized debt obligations”). Payment of interest on asset-backed securities and repayment of principal largely depend on the cash flows generated by the underlying assets backing the securities. The amount of market risk associated with asset-backed securities depends on many factors, including the deal structure (e.g., determination as to the amount of underlying assets or other support needed to produce the cash flows necessary to service interest and make principal

 



 

payments), the quality of the underlying assets, the level of credit support, if any, provided for the securities, and the credit quality of the credit-support provider, if any.  Asset-backed securities involve risk of loss of principal if obligors of the underlying obligations default in payment of the obligations and the defaulted obligations exceed the credit support. The obligations of issuers (and obligors of underlying assets) also are subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, and other laws affecting the rights and remedies of creditors.  Many asset-backed securities are now rated below investment grade.

 

With the deterioration of worldwide economic and liquidity conditions that became acute in 2008, the markets for asset-backed securities became fractured and uncertainty about the creditworthiness of those securities (and underlying collateral) caused credit spreads (the difference between yields on the asset-backed securities and U.S. Government securities) to widen dramatically. Concurrently, systemic risks of the type evidenced by the insolvency of Lehman Brothers and subsequent market disruptions reduced the ability of financial institutions to make markets in many fixed income securities generally.  These events reduced liquidity for securitized credits and contributed to substantial declines in the value of asset-backed and other fixed income securities. There can be no assurance these conditions will not continue or that they will not deteriorate further. Also, government actions and proposals affecting the terms of underlying home and consumer loans, changes in demand for products (e.g., automobiles) financed by those loans, and the inability of borrowers to refinance existing loans (e.g., sub-prime mortgages), have had, and may continue to have, adverse valuation and liquidity effects on asset-backed securities. There can be no assurance that in the future the market for asset-backed securities will become more liquid.

 

The value of an asset-backed security may depend on the servicing of its underlying assets and is, therefore, subject to risks associated with the negligence or defalcation of its servicer. In some circumstances, the mishandling of related documentation also may affect the rights of security holders in and to the underlying collateral. The insolvency of entities that generate receivables or that utilize the assets may result in a decline in the value of the underlying assets, as well as costs and delays.  In addition, asset-backed securities representing diverse sectors (e.g., auto loans, student loans, sub-prime mortgages, and credit-card receivables) have become more highly correlated since the deterioration of worldwide economic and liquidity conditions referred to above. 

 

The Fund uses its cash balance to meet its derivative collateral obligations and for other purposes. There is no assurance that the Fund’s cash balance will be sufficient to meet its collateral obligations arising under its derivatives.  If it is not, the Fund would be required to liquidate other positions. That may include redeeming shares of GMO Short Duration Collateral Fund (“SDCF”) and/or GMO World Opportunity Overlay Fund (“WOOF”), in which case the Fund would receive redemption proceeds in-kind from SDCF and/or WOOF and would then be required to dispose of those assets (mostly asset-backed securities) in the current adverse market conditions.  To manage the Fund’s cash collateral needs in the current extraordinary market conditions, the Manager reserves the right to reduce or eliminate the Fund’s derivative exposures, including those that are intended to cause the Fund to track its benchmark more closely. A reduction in those exposures may tend to cause the performance of the Fund to track its benchmark less closely and make the Fund’s performance more dependent on the performance of the asset-backed securities it holds directly or indirectly.

 

To address in part the cash management issues described above, the Fund may effect nearly all significant redemptions of its shares in-kind. If redeeming shareholders from the Fund choose to sell assets received in-kind immediately and current adverse market conditions continue, they may experience difficulty selling the assets at favorable prices.  The Fund may establish de minimis amounts below which redemptions may be honored for cash. Amounts available for cash redemptions could be increased and/or redemption fees could be reduced if conditions in the bond market improve. These amounts can and will change without prior notice.

 

Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities–Effective March 1, 2009, the Fund adopted FASB Statement of Financial Standards No. 161 “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS 161”). This standard is an amendment to FASB Statement No. 133 (“FASB 133”), “Accounting for Derivative Instruments” which expands the disclosure requirements of FASB 133 regarding an entity’s derivative instruments and hedging activities.

^^ As the Fund values its derivatives at fair value and recognizes changes in fair value through the statement of operations, it does not qualify for hedge accounting under FASB 133. The Fund’s investments in derivatives may represent an economic hedge; however, they are considered to be non-hedge transactions for the purpose of SFAS 161 disclosure.

Receive - Fund receives premium and sells credit protection.

 

(Pay) - Fund pays premium and buys credit protection.

(1)

Implied credit spreads, represented in absolute terms, utilized in determining the market value of credit default swap agreements on the reference security, as of May 31, 2009, serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk and reflect the likelihood or risk of default for the credit derivative. The implied credit spread of a particular referenced entity reflects the cost of buying/selling protection and may include upfront payments required to be made to enter into the agreement. Wider (i.e. higher) credit spreads represent a deterioration of the referenced entity’s credit soundness and a greater likelihood or risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the agreement.

(2)

The maximum potential amount the Fund could be required to make as a seller of credit protection if a credit event occurs as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement.

 

As of May 31, 2009, for the futures and/or swap contracts held, the Fund had sufficient cash and/or securities to cover any commitments or margin requirements of the relevant broker or exchange.

 

Notes to Schedule of Investments:

 

(a)       All or a portion of this security has been pledged to cover margin requirements on open financial futures contracts.

(b)       Indexed security in which price and/or coupon is linked to the prices of a specific instrument or financial statistic.

(c)       Security valued at fair value using methods determined in good faith by or at the direction of the Trustees of GMO Trust.

(d)       Underlying investment represents interests in defaulted securities.

 



 

Portfolio valuation

 

Securities listed on a securities exchange for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price on each business day, or if there is no such reported sale or official closing price, at the most recent quoted bid price, or broker bid (if the private market is more relevant in determining market value than the exchange).  Unlisted securities for which market quotations are readily available are generally valued at the most recent quoted bid price.  Debt instruments with a remaining maturity of sixty days or less are generally valued at amortized cost.  Shares of investment funds are generally valued at their net asset value.  Securities for which quotations are not readily available or whose values the Manager has determined to be unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Trustees or persons acting at their direction pursuant to procedures approved by the Trustees.  Although the goal of fair valuation is to determine the amount the owner of the securities might reasonably expect to receive upon their current sale, because of the uncertainty inherent in fair value pricing, the value determined for a particular security may be materially different than the value realized upon its sale.  For information about the pricing of some specific positions (e.g. swaps) see descriptions below.

 

Typically the Fund and the underlying funds value debt instruments based on the most recent bid supplied by a single pricing source chosen by the Manager.  The Manager evaluates pricing sources on an ongoing basis, and may change a pricing source at any time.  The Manager normally does not evaluate the prices supplied by pricing sources on a day-to-day basis.  The Manager monitors erratic or unusual movements (including unusual inactivity) in the prices supplied for a security and has discretion to override a price supplied by a source (e.g., by taking a price supplied by another) when it believes that the price supplied is not reliable.  The prices provided by a pricing source may differ from the value that would be realized if the securities were sold, and the differences could be material. In addition, although alternative prices are available for other securities held by the Fund, those alternative sources would not necessarily confirm the security price used by the Fund. Therefore, the existence of those alternative sources does not necessarily provide greater certainty about the prices used by the Fund.  As of May 31, 2009, the total value of securities held directly and indirectly for which no alternative pricing source was available represented 23.12% of the net assets of the Fund.

 

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS 157”). While the adoption of SFAS 157 does not have an effect on the Fund’s net asset value, it does require additional disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 establishes a three-level hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements. The valuation hierarchy is based upon the reliability of inputs to the valuation of the Fund’s investments. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.  The three levels are defined as follows:

 

Level 1 – Valuations based on quoted prices for identical securities in active markets.

 

Level 2 – Valuations determined using other significant direct or indirect observable inputs.

 

Level 3 – Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant. The Fund utilized the following fair value techniques on level 3 investments: The Fund considered interest in certain bankrupt securities to be worthless.

 

The following is a summary of the categorization of investments by inputs used as of May 31, 2009 in valuing the Fund’s investments:

Foreign currency translation

 

The market values of foreign securities, currency holdings and related assets and liabilities are translated to U.S. dollars based on the 4 p.m. New York time exchange rates each business day.  Income and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the 4 p.m. New York time exchange rates on the business day the income and expenses are accrued or incurred.  The Fund does not isolate realized and unrealized gains and losses attributable to changes in exchange rates from gains and losses that arise from changes in the market value of investments.  Such fluctuations are included with net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments.  Net realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions represent gains and losses on disposition of currencies and forward currency contracts, currency gains and losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amount of investment income and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s accounting records and the U.S. dollar equivalent amounts actually received or paid.

 

Forward currency contracts

 

The Fund may enter into forward currency contracts, including forward cross currency contracts.  A forward currency contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell a currency at a set price on a future date (or to pay or receive the amounts of the change in relative values of the two currencies).  The market value of a forward currency contract fluctuates with changes in forward currency exchange rates.  Forward currency contracts are marked to market daily using rates supplied by a quotation service and changes in value are recorded by the Fund as unrealized gains or losses.  Realized gains or losses on the contracts are 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.  These contracts involve market risk in excess of the unrealized gain or loss.  They expose the Fund to the risk of unfavorable movements in currency values and the risk that the counterparty will be unable or unwilling to meet the terms of the contracts.

 

Futures contracts

 

The Fund may purchase and sell futures contracts.  A futures contract is a contract that obligates the holder to buy or sell an asset at a predetermined delivery price during a specified future time period.  Some futures contracts are net (cash) settled. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to deposit cash, U.S. government and agency obligations, or other liquid assets with the futures clearing broker in accordance with the initial margin requirements of the broker or exchange.  Futures contracts are marked to market daily and an appropriate payable or receivable for the change in value (“variation margin”) is recorded by the Fund.  The payable or receivable is settled on the following business day.  Gains or losses are recognized but not considered realized until the contracts expire or are closed.  Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of the variation margin.  Under some circumstances, futures exchanges may establish daily limits on the amount that the price of a futures contract can vary from the previous day’s settlement price, thereby effectively preventing liquidation of unfavorable positions.  Losses may arise from changes in the value of the underlying instrument if the Fund is unable to liquidate a futures position due to an illiquid market for the contract, the imposition of price limits or the failure of counterparty to perform under the contract terms.  Futures contracts are

 



 

generally valued at the settlement price established at the close of business each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded.

 

Options

 

The Fund may purchase put and call options.  A call option gives the holder the right to buy an asset; a put option gives the holder the right to sell an asset.  Purchasing options alters the Fund’s exposure to the underlying instrument by, in the case of a call option, entitling the Fund to purchase the underlying instrument at a set price from the writer of the option and, in the case of a put option, entitling the Fund to sell the underlying instrument at a set price to the writer of the option.  The Fund pays a premium for a purchased option.  That premium is disclosed in the Schedule of Investments and is subsequently marked to market to reflect the current value of the option.  Premiums paid for options that expire are treated as realized losses.  Premiums paid for options that are exercised or closed are deducted from the proceeds of the closing transaction to determine the realized gain or loss.  The risk associated with purchasing put and call options is limited to the premium paid.

 

The Fund may write (i.e., sell) call and put options.   Writing options alters the Fund’s exposure to the underlying instrument by, in the case of a call option, obligating the Fund to sell the underlying instrument at a set price to the option-holder and, in the case of a put option, obligating the Fund to purchase the underlying instrument at a set price from the option-holder. In some cases (e.g. index options), settlement will be in cash. When the Fund writes a call or put option, an amount equal to the premium received is recorded as a liability and subsequently marked to market to reflect the current value of the option written.  Premiums received from writing options that expire are treated as realized gains.  Premiums received from writing options that are exercised or closed are deducted from the amounts paid on the underlying future, security or currency transaction to determine the realized gain or loss.  The Fund as a writer of an option has no control over whether the underlying future, security or currency may be sold (call) or purchased (put) and as a result bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the future, security or currency underlying the option.  In the event that the Fund writes call or put options without an offsetting exposure (e.g. call options on a security that the Fund does not own), it bears the risk of substantial losses if the price of the underlying asset increases (calls) or decreases (puts) during the term of the option.  Options expose the Fund to the risk the Fund may not be able to enter into a closing transaction because of an illiquid market.

 

The Fund values exchange traded options at the last sale price, or if no sale is reported, the last bid price for options it has purchased and the last ask price for options it has written.  The Fund values options traded over-the-counter using inputs provided by primary pricing sources and industry models.

 

Indexed securities

 

The Fund may invest in indexed securities.  Indexed securities are securities whose values and/or coupons are linked to the prices of a specific instrument, group of instruments or financial statistic.

 

Swap agreements

 

The Fund may enter into various types of swap agreements, including without limitation, swaps on securities and securities indices, interest rate swaps, total return swaps, credit default swaps, variance swaps, commodity swaps, inflation swaps and other types of available swaps.  A swap agreement is an agreement to exchange the return generated by one instrument for the return generated by another instrument.  Some swap contracts are net settled. When entering into a swap agreement, the Fund and/or the swap counterparty may post or receive cash or securities as collateral and will typically post or receive additional collateral as market values change.

 

Interest rate swap agreements involve an exchange by the parties of their respective commitments to pay or right to receive interest, e.g., an exchange of floating rate interest payments for fixed rate interest payments with respect to the notional amount of principal.

 

Total return swap agreements involve a commitment by one party to pay interest to the other party in exchange for a payment to it from the other party based on the return of a reference instrument (e.g., a security or basket of securities), both based on notional amounts. To the extent the return of the reference instrument exceeds or falls short of the interest payments, one party will receive a payment from or make a payment to the other party.

 

In a credit default swap agreement, one party makes payments to another party in exchange for the right to receive a specified return if a credit event occurs with respect to a referenced entity or entities.  Buying credit default protection reduces the buyer’s exposure (or increases negative exposure) in the event of an issuer’s default (e.g., it is intended to reduce risk where a party owns a security issued by or otherwise has exposure to the issuer).  Selling credit default protection subjects the seller to exposure to an issuer’s default or other credit events.  A seller of credit default protection receives payments in return for its obligation to pay the principal amount of a debt security (or other agreed-upon value) to the other party upon the occurrence of a credit event (e.g., issuer default or similar event).  If no credit event occurs, the seller has no payment obligations.  For credit default swap agreements on asset-backed securities, a credit event may be triggered by various events, which may include an issuer’s failure to pay interest or principal, a breach of a material representation or covenant, an agreement by the holders of an asset-backed security to a maturity extension, or a write-down on the collateral underlying the security.  For credit default swap agreements on corporate or sovereign issuers, a credit event may be triggered by such events as the issuer’s bankruptcy, failure to pay interest or principal, repudiation/moratorium or restructuring.

 



 

Variance swap agreements involve an agreement by two parties to exchange cash flows based on the measured variance (or square of volatility) of a specified underlying asset. One party agrees to exchange a “fixed rate” or strike price payment for the “floating rate” or realized price variance on the underlying asset with respect to the notional amount. At inception, the strike price chosen is generally fixed at a level such that the fair value of the swap is zero. As a result, no money changes hands at the initiation of the contract. At the expiration date, the amount paid by one party to the other is the difference between the realized price variance of the underlying asset and the strike price multiplied by the notional amount. A receiver of the realized price variance would receive a payment when the realized price variance of the underlying asset is greater than the strike price and would make a payment when that variance is less than the strike price. A payer of the realized price variance would make a payment when the realized price variance of the underlying asset is greater than the strike price and would receive a payment when that variance is less than the strike price. This type of agreement is essentially a forward contract on the future realized price variance of the underlying asset.

 

The Fund prices its swap agreements daily using models that may incorporate quotations from market makers and records the change in value, if any, as unrealized gain or loss.  Payments received or made on swap agreements are recorded as realized gain or loss.  Gains or losses are realized upon termination of the swap agreements, or reset dates as appropriate.

 

Swap agreements generally are not traded on financial markets. The values assigned to them may differ significantly from the values that would be realized upon termination, and the differences could be material. Entering into swap agreements involves counterparty credit, legal, and documentation risk that is generally not reflected in the models used to price the swap agreement.  Such risks include the possibility that the party with whom the Fund contracts may default on its obligations to perform or disagree as to the meaning of contractual terms, that the Fund has amounts on deposit in excess of amounts owed by the Fund, or that the collateral the other party posts may be insufficient or not timely received by the Fund.  Specifically, the amount shown as owed to the Fund under a swap agreement is not reduced if there is uncertainty about the counterparty’s willingness or ability to pay.  Credit risk is particularly acute in economic environments in which financial services firms are exposed to systemic risks of the type evidenced by the insolvency of Lehman Brothers in 2008 and subsequent market disruptions.

 

Reverse repurchase agreements

 

The Fund may enter into reverse repurchase agreements.  Under a reverse repurchase agreement the Fund sells portfolio assets subject to an agreement by the Fund to repurchase the same assets at a later date at a fixed price.  Also, if the buyer in a reverse repurchase agreement files for bankruptcy or becomes insolvent, the Fund may be unable to recover the securities it sold and as a result would realize a loss equal to the difference between the value of the securities and the payment it received for them.  This loss would be greater to the extent the buyer paid less than the value of the securities the Fund sold to it (e.g., a buyer may pay $95 for a bond with a market value of $100).  The Fund’s use of proceeds from the sale of its securities may be restricted while the other party or its trustee or receiver determines whether to honor the Fund’s right to repurchase the securities.

 

Investment risks

 

The Fund is subject to risks involved in investing in foreign securities that are not presented by investments in U.S. securities. These risks may involve adverse political and economic developments, including expropriation and the possible imposition of capital controls or other foreign governmental laws or restrictions. In addition, the securities of some foreign companies and securities markets are less liquid and at times may be more volatile than securities of comparable U.S. companies and U.S. securities markets. Also, fluctuations in exchange rates may adversely affect the U.S. dollar value of the Fund’s foreign currency holdings and investments denominated in foreign currency.  The risks described above apply to an even greater extent to investments in emerging countries. The securities markets of emerging countries are generally smaller, less developed, less liquid, and more volatile than the securities markets of the U.S. and developed foreign markets.  Additionally, the investment risks associated with an investment in the underlying funds may be greater to the extent that the underlying funds engage in derivative transactions.

 

The Fund invests (including through investment in underlying funds) in asset-backed securities, which may be backed in whole or in part by many types of assets, including pools of residential and commercial mortgages, automobile loans, educational loans, home equity loans, or credit-card receivables, which bring additional types of market risk.  Asset-backed securities also may be collateralized by the fees earned by service providers. They also may be backed by pools of corporate or sovereign bonds, bank loans made to corporations, or a combination of these bonds and loans (commonly referred to as “collateralized debt obligations”). Payment of interest on asset-backed securities and repayment of principal largely depend on the cash flows generated by the underlying assets backing the securities. The amount of market risk associated with asset-backed securities depends on many factors, including the deal structure (e.g., determination as to the amount of underlying assets or other support needed to produce the cash flows necessary to service interest and make principal payments), the quality of the underlying assets, the level of credit support, if any, provided for the securities, and the credit quality of the credit-support provider, if any.  Asset-backed securities involve risk of loss of principal if obligors of the underlying obligations default in payment of the obligations and the defaulted obligations exceed the credit support. The obligations of issuers (and obligors of underlying assets) also are subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, and other laws affecting the rights and remedies of creditors.  Many asset-backed securities are now rated below investment grade.

 



 

With the deterioration of worldwide economic and liquidity conditions that became acute in 2008, the markets for asset-backed securities became fractured and uncertainty about the creditworthiness of those securities (and underlying collateral) caused credit spreads (the difference between yields on the asset-backed securities and U.S. Government securities) to widen dramatically. Concurrently, systemic risks of the type evidenced by the insolvency of Lehman Brothers and subsequent market disruptions reduced the ability of financial institutions to make markets in many fixed income securities generally.  These events reduced liquidity for securitized credits and contributed to substantial declines in the value of asset-backed and other fixed income securities. There can be no assurance these conditions will not continue or that they will not deteriorate further. Also, government actions and proposals affecting the terms of underlying home and consumer loans, changes in demand for products (e.g., automobiles) financed by those loans, and the inability of borrowers to refinance existing loans (e.g., sub-prime mortgages), have had, and may continue to have, adverse valuation and liquidity effects on asset-backed securities. There can be no assurance that in the future the market for asset-backed securities will become more liquid.

 

The value of an asset-backed security may depend on the servicing of its underlying assets and is, therefore, subject to risks associated with the negligence or defalcation of its servicer. In some circumstances, the mishandling of related documentation also may affect the rights of security holders in and to the underlying collateral. The insolvency of entities that generate receivables or that utilize the assets may result in a decline in the value of the underlying assets, as well as costs and delays.  In addition, asset-backed securities representing diverse sectors (e.g., auto loans, student loans, sub-prime mortgages, and credit-card receivables) have become more highly correlated since the deterioration of worldwide economic and liquidity conditions referred to above. 

 

The Fund uses its cash balance to meet its derivative collateral obligations and for other purposes. There is no assurance that the Fund’s cash balance will be sufficient to meet its collateral obligations arising under its derivatives.  If it is not, the Fund would be required to liquidate other positions. That may include redeeming shares of GMO Short Duration Collateral Fund (“SDCF”) and/or GMO World Opportunity Overlay Fund (“WOOF”), in which case the Fund would receive redemption proceeds in-kind from SDCF and/or WOOF and would then be required to dispose of those assets (mostly asset-backed securities) in the current adverse market conditions.  To manage the Fund’s cash collateral needs in the current extraordinary market conditions, the Manager reserves the right to reduce or eliminate the Fund’s derivative exposures, including those that are intended to cause the Fund to track its benchmark more closely. A reduction in those exposures may tend to cause the performance of the Fund to track its benchmark less closely and make the Fund’s performance more dependent on the performance of the asset-backed securities it holds directly or indirectly.

 

To address in part the cash management issues described above, the Fund may effect nearly all significant redemptions of its shares in-kind. If redeeming shareholders from the Fund choose to sell assets received in-kind immediately and current adverse market conditions continue, they may experience difficulty selling the assets at favorable prices.  The Fund may establish de minimis amounts below which redemptions may be honored for cash. Amounts available for cash redemptions could be increased and/or redemption fees could be reduced if conditions in the bond market improve. These amounts can and will change without prior notice.

 

Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities–Effective March 1, 2009, the Fund adopted FASB Statement of Financial Standards No. 161 “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS 161”). This standard is an amendment to FASB Statement No. 133 (“FASB 133”), “Accounting for Derivative Instruments” which expands the disclosure requirements of FASB 133 regarding an entity’s derivative instruments and hedging activities.

Portfolio valuation

 

Securities listed on a securities exchange for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price on each business day, or if there is no such reported sale or official closing price, at the most recent quoted bid price, or broker bid (if the private market is more relevant in determining market value than the exchange).  Unlisted securities for which market quotations are readily available are generally valued at the most recent quoted bid price.  Debt instruments with a remaining maturity of sixty days or less are generally valued at amortized cost.  Shares of investment funds are generally valued at their net asset value.  Securities for which quotations are not readily available or whose values the Manager has determined to be unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Trustees or persons acting at their direction pursuant to procedures approved by the Trustees.  Although the goal of fair valuation is to determine the amount the owner of the securities might reasonably expect to receive upon their current sale, because of the uncertainty inherent in fair value pricing, the value determined for a particular security may be materially different than the value realized upon its sale.  For information about the pricing of some specific positions (e.g. swaps) see descriptions below.  Because many foreign equity securities markets and exchanges close prior to the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), closing prices for foreign securities in those markets or on those exchanges do not reflect the events that occur after that close but before the close of the NYSE.  As a result, the Fund generally values foreign equity securities as of the NYSE close using fair value prices, which are based on adjustments to closing prices supplied by a third party vendor using that vendor’s proprietary models.  As of May 31, 2009, 92.38% of the net assets of the Fund were valued using fair value prices based on models used by that third party vendor and are classified as using level 2 inputs in the table below.

 

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS 157”). While the adoption of SFAS 157 does not have an effect on the Fund’s net asset value, it does require additional disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 establishes a three-level hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements. The valuation hierarchy is based upon the reliability of inputs to the valuation of the Fund’s investments. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.  The three levels are defined as follows:

 

Level 1 — Valuations based on quoted prices for identical securities in active markets.

 

Level 2 — Valuations determined using other significant direct or indirect observable inputs.

 

Level 3 — Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant.

The Fund held no investments or other financial instruments at either February 28, 2009 or May 31, 2009, whose fair value was determined using Level 3 inputs.

 



 

Foreign currency translation

 

The market values of foreign securities, currency holdings and related assets and liabilities are translated to U.S. dollars based on the 4 p.m. New York time exchange rates each business day.  Income and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the 4 p.m. New York time exchange rates on the business day the income and expenses are accrued or incurred.  The Fund does not isolate realized and unrealized gains and losses attributable to changes in exchange rates from gains and losses that arise from changes in the market value of investments.  Such fluctuations are included with net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments.  Net realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions represent gains and losses on disposition of currencies and forward currency contracts, currency gains and losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amount of investment income and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s accounting records and the U.S. dollar equivalent amounts actually received or paid.

 

Forward currency contracts

 

The Fund may enter into forward currency contracts, including forward cross currency contracts.  A forward currency contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell a currency at a set price on a future date (or to pay or receive the amounts of the change in relative values of the two currencies).  The market value of a forward currency contract fluctuates with changes in forward currency exchange rates.  Forward currency contracts are marked to market daily using rates supplied by a quotation service and changes in value are recorded by the Fund as unrealized gains or losses.  Realized gains or losses on the contracts are 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.  These contracts involve market risk in excess of the unrealized gain or loss.  They expose the Fund to the risk of unfavorable movements in currency values and the risk that the counterparty will be unable or unwilling to meet the terms of the contracts.

 

Rights and Warrants

 

A Fund may purchase or otherwise receive warrants or rights. Warrants and rights generally give the holder the right to receive, upon exercise, a security of the issuer at a stated price. Funds typically use warrants and rights in a manner similar to their use of options on securities, as described in Options below. Risks associated with the use of warrants and rights are generally similar to risks associated with the use of options. Unlike most options, however, warrants and rights are issued in specific amounts, and warrants generally have longer terms than options. Warrants and rights are not likely to be as liquid as exchange-traded options backed by a recognized clearing agency. In addition, the terms of warrants or rights may limit a Fund’s ability to exercise the warrants or rights at such time, or in such quantities, as the Fund would otherwise wish.

 

Futures contracts

 

The Fund may purchase and sell futures contracts.  A futures contract is a contract that obligates the holder to buy or sell an asset at a predetermined delivery price during a specified future time period.  Some futures contracts are net (cash) settled. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to deposit cash, U.S. government and agency obligations, or other liquid assets with the futures clearing broker in accordance with the initial margin requirements of the broker or exchange.  Futures contracts are marked to market daily and an appropriate payable or receivable for the change in value (“variation margin”) is recorded by the Fund.  The payable or receivable is settled on the following business day.  Gains or losses are recognized but not considered realized until the contracts expire or are closed.  Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of the variation margin.  Under some circumstances, futures exchanges may establish daily limits on the amount that the price of a futures contract can vary from the previous day’s settlement price, thereby effectively preventing liquidation of unfavorable positions.  Losses may arise from changes in the value of the underlying instrument if the Fund is unable to liquidate a futures position due to an illiquid market for the contract, the imposition of price limits or the failure of counterparty to perform under the contract terms.  Futures contracts are generally valued at the settlement price established at the close of business each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded.  Because many foreign exchanges close prior to the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), closing prices for foreign futures in those markets or on those markets or on those exchanges do not reflect the events that occur after that close but before the close of the NYSE. As a result, the Fund generally values foreign futures using fair value prices, which are based on adjustments to closing prices supplied by a third party vendor based on that vendor’s proprietary models.

 

Options

 

The Fund may purchase put and call options.  A call option gives the holder the right to buy an asset; a put option gives the holder the right to sell an asset.  Purchasing options alters the Fund’s exposure to the underlying instrument by, in the case of a call option, entitling the Fund to purchase the underlying instrument at a set price from the writer of the option and, in the case of a put option, entitling the Fund to sell the underlying instrument at a set price to the writer of the option.  The Fund pays a premium for a purchased option.  That premium is disclosed in the Schedule of Investments and is subsequently marked to market to reflect the current value of the option.  Premiums paid for options that expire are treated as realized losses.  Premiums paid for options that are exercised or closed are deducted from the proceeds of the closing transaction to determine the realized gain or loss.  The risk associated with purchasing put and call options is limited to the premium paid.

 

The Fund may write (i.e., sell) call and put options.  Writing options alters the Fund’s exposure to the underlying instrument by, in the case of a call option, obligating the Fund to sell the underlying instrument at a set price to the option-holder and, in the case of a put option, obligating the Fund to purchase the underlying instrument at a set price from the option-holder. In some cases (e.g. index options), settlement will be in cash. When the Fund writes a call or put option, an amount equal to the premium received is recorded as a liability and subsequently marked to market to reflect the current value of the option written.  Premiums received from writing options that expire are treated as realized gains.  Premiums received from writing options that are exercised or closed are deducted from the amounts paid on the underlying future, security or currency transaction to determine the realized gain or loss.  The Fund as a writer of an option has no control over whether the underlying future, security or currency may be sold (call) or purchased (put) and as a result bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the future, security or currency underlying the option.  In the event that the Fund writes call or put options without an offsetting exposure (e.g. call options on a security that the Fund does not own), it bears the risk of substantial losses if

 



 

the price of the underlying asset increases (calls) or decreases (puts) during the term of the option.  Options expose the Fund to the risk the Fund may not be able to enter into a closing transaction because of an illiquid market.

 

The Fund values exchange traded options at the last sale price, or if no sale is reported, the last bid price for options it has purchased and the last ask price for options it has written.  The Fund values options traded over-the-counter using inputs provided by primary pricing sources and industry models.

 

Swap agreements

 

The Fund may enter into various types of swap agreements, including without limitation, swaps on securities and securities indices, interest rate swaps, total return swaps, credit default swaps, variance swaps, commodity swaps, inflation swaps and other types of available swaps.  A swap agreement is an agreement to exchange the return generated by one instrument for the return generated by another instrument.  Some swap contracts are net settled. When entering into a swap agreement, the Fund and/or the swap counterparty may post or receive cash or securities as collateral and will typically post or receive additional collateral as market values change.

 

Interest rate swap agreements involve an exchange by the parties of their respective commitments to pay or right to receive interest, e.g., an exchange of floating rate interest payments for fixed rate interest payments with respect to the notional amount of principal.

 

Total return swap agreements involve a commitment by one party to pay interest to the other party in exchange for a payment to it from the other party based on the return of a reference instrument (e.g., a security or basket of securities), both based on notional amounts. To the extent the return of the reference instrument exceeds or falls short of the interest payments, one party will receive a payment from or make a payment to the other party.

 

In a credit default swap agreement, one party makes payments to another party in exchange for the right to receive a specified return if a credit event occurs with respect to a referenced entity or entities.  Buying credit default protection reduces the buyer’s exposure (or increases negative exposure) in the event of an issuer’s default (e.g., it is intended to reduce risk where a party owns a security issued by or otherwise has exposure to the issuer).  Selling credit default protection subjects the seller to exposure to an issuer’s default or other credit events.  A seller of credit default protection receives payments in return for its obligation to pay the principal amount of a debt security (or other agreed-upon value) to the other party upon the occurrence of a credit event (e.g., issuer default or similar event).  If no credit event occurs, the seller has no payment obligations.  For credit default swap agreements on asset-backed securities, a credit event may be triggered by various events, which may include an issuer’s failure to pay interest or principal, a breach of a material representation or covenant, an agreement by the holders of an asset-backed security to a maturity extension, or a write-down on the collateral underlying the security.  For credit default swap agreements on corporate or sovereign issuers, a credit event may be triggered by such events as the issuer’s bankruptcy, failure to pay interest or principal, repudiation/moratorium or restructuring.

 

Variance swap agreements involve an agreement by two parties to exchange cash flows based on the measured variance (or square of volatility) of a specified underlying asset. One party agrees to exchange a “fixed rate” or strike price payment for the “floating rate” or realized price variance on the underlying asset with respect to the notional amount. At inception, the strike price chosen is generally fixed at a level such that the fair value of the swap is zero. As a result, no money changes hands at the initiation of the contract. At the expiration date, the amount paid by one party to the other is the difference between the realized price variance of the underlying asset and the strike price multiplied by the notional amount. A receiver of the realized price variance would receive a payment when the realized price variance of the underlying asset is greater than the strike price and would make a payment when that variance is less than the strike price. A payer of the realized price variance would make a payment when the realized price variance of the underlying asset is greater than the strike price and would receive a payment when that variance is less than the strike price. This type of agreement is essentially a forward contract on the future realized price variance of the underlying asset.

 

The Fund prices its swap agreements daily using models that may incorporate quotations from market makers and records the change in value, if any, as unrealized gain or loss.  Payments received or made on swap agreements are recorded as realized gain or loss.  Gains or losses are realized upon termination of the swap agreements, or reset dates as appropriate.

 

Swap agreements generally are not traded on financial markets. The values assigned to them may differ significantly from the values that would be realized upon termination, and the differences could be material. Entering into swap agreements involves counterparty credit, legal, and documentation risk that is generally not reflected in the models used to price the swap agreement.  Such risks include the possibility that the party with whom the Fund contracts may default on its obligations to perform or disagree as to the meaning of contractual terms, that the Fund has amounts on deposit in excess of amounts owed by the Fund, or that the collateral the other party posts may be insufficient or not timely received by the Fund.  Specifically, the amount shown as owed to the Fund under a swap agreement is not reduced if there is uncertainty about the counterparty’s willingness or ability to pay.  Credit risk is particularly acute in economic environments in which financial services firms are exposed to systemic risks of the type evidenced by the insolvency of Lehman Brothers in 2008 and subsequent market disruptions.

 



 

Investment risks

 

The Fund is subject to risks involved in investing in foreign securities that are not presented by investments in U.S. securities. These risks may involve adverse political and economic developments, including expropriation and the possible imposition of capital controls or other foreign governmental laws or restrictions. In addition, the securities of some foreign companies and securities markets are less liquid and at times may be more volatile than securities of comparable U.S. companies and U.S. securities markets.

 

Among other trading agreements, the Fund is party to International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreements (“ISDA Agreements”) with select counterparties that generally govern over-the-counter derivative transactions entered into by the Fund. The ISDA Master Agreements typically include representations and warranties as well as contractual terms related to collateral, events of default, termination events, and other provisions. Termination events include the decline in the net assets of the Fund below a certain level over a specified period of time and entitle a counterparty to elect to terminate early with respect to some or all the transactions under the ISDA Agreement with that counterparty. Such an election by one or more of the counterparties could have a material adverse impact on the Fund’s operations.  Due to declines in the net assets of the Fund prior to May 31, 2009, one or more counterparties are entitled to terminate early but none has taken such action.

 

Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities–Effective March 1, 2009, the Fund adopted FASB Statement of Financial Standards No. 161 “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS 161”). This standard is an amendment to FASB Statement No. 133 (“FASB 133”), “Accounting for Derivative Instruments” which expands the disclosure requirements of FASB 133 regarding an entity’s derivative instruments and hedging activities.

Notes to Schedule of Investments:

 



 

Portfolio valuation

 

Shares of the underlying funds and other mutual funds are generally valued at their net asset value.

 

Investments held by the underlying funds are valued as follows.   Securities listed on a securities exchange for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price on each business day, or if there is no such reported sale or official closing price, at the most recent quoted bid price, or broker bid (if the private market is more relevant in determining market value than the exchange).  Unlisted securities for which market quotations are readily available are generally valued at the most recent quoted bid price.  Debt instruments with a remaining maturity of sixty days or less are generally valued at amortized cost.  Shares of investment funds are generally valued at their net asset value.  Securities for which quotations are not readily available or whose values the Manager has determined to be unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Trustees or persons acting at their direction pursuant to procedures approved by the Trustees.  Although the goal of fair valuation is to determine the amount the owner of the securities might reasonably expect to receive upon their current sale, because of the uncertainty inherent in fair value pricing, the value determined for a particular security may be materially different than the value realized upon its sale.  Because many foreign equity securities markets and exchanges close prior to the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), closing prices for foreign securities in those markets or on those exchanges do not reflect the events that occur after that close but before the close of the NYSE.  As a result, the Fund generally values foreign equity securities as of the NYSE close using fair value prices, which are based on adjustments to closing prices supplied by a third party vendor using that vendor’s proprietary models.  As of May 31, 2009, 87.40% of the net assets of the Fund, through investments in the underlying funds, were valued using fair value prices based on models used by that third party vendor. Those underlying funds classify such securities under SFAS 157 (as defined below) as level 2.

 

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS 157”). While the adoption of SFAS 157 does not have an effect on the Fund’s net asset value, it does require additional disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 establishes a three-level hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements. The valuation hierarchy is based upon the reliability of inputs to the valuation of the Fund’s investments. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.  The three levels are defined as follows:

 

Level 1 – Valuations based on quoted prices for identical securities in active markets.

 

Level 2 – Valuations determined using other significant direct or indirect observable inputs.

 

Level 3 – Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant.

Underlying funds are classified above as either level 1 or level 2. For the underlying funds’ summary of valuation inputs (including level 3 inputs, if any) please refer to the respective fund’s portfolio valuation note. The aggregate absolute values of the Fund’s indirect investments in securities using level 3 inputs was 0.96% of total net assets.

 



 

The Fund held no investments or other financial instruments at either February 28, 2009 or May 31, 2009, whose fair value was determined using level 3 inputs.

 

Investment risks

 

The Fund is indirectly exposed to all of the risks associated with an investment in the underlying funds, including the risk that the underlying funds in which it invests will not perform as expected.  Some underlying funds may invest directly and/or indirectly in foreign securities.  The Fund is subject to risks involved in investing in foreign securities that are not presented by investments in U.S. securities. These risks may involve adverse political and economic developments, including expropriation and the possible imposition of capital controls or other foreign governmental laws or restrictions. In addition, the securities of some foreign companies and securities markets are less liquid and at times more volatile than securities of comparable U.S. companies and U.S. securities markets.  Also, fluctuations in exchange rates may adversely affect the U.S. dollar value of the Fund’s foreign currency holdings and investments denominated in foreign currency.  The risks described above apply to an even greater extent to investments in emerging countries. The securities markets of emerging countries are generally smaller, less developed, less liquid, and more volatile than the securities markets of the U.S. and developed foreign markets. Additionally, the investment risks associated with an investment in the underlying funds may be greater to the extent that the underlying funds engage in derivative transactions.

 

Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities–Effective March 1, 2009, the Fund adopted FASB Statement of Financial Standards No. 161 “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS 161”). This standard is an amendment to FASB Statement No. 133 (“FASB 133”), “Accounting for Derivative Instruments” which expands the disclosure requirements of FASB 133 regarding an entity’s derivative instruments and hedging activities.

 

The Fund adopted SFAS 161 on March 1, 2009.  As of May 31, 2009, the Fund held no derivative contracts for the purposes of SFAS 161.

Notes to Schedule of Investments:

 

REIT - Real Estate Investment Trust

*       Non-income producing security.

 



 

Portfolio valuation

 

Securities listed on a securities exchange for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price on each business day, or if there is no such reported sale or official closing price, at the most recent quoted bid price, or broker bid (if the private market is more relevant in determining market value than the exchange).  Unlisted securities for which market quotations are readily available are generally valued at the most recent quoted bid price.  Debt instruments with a remaining maturity of sixty days or less are generally valued at amortized cost.  Shares of investment funds are generally valued at their net asset value.  Securities for which quotations are not readily available or whose values the Manager has determined to be unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Trustees or persons acting at their direction pursuant to procedures approved by the Trustees.  Although the goal of fair valuation is to determine the amount the owner of the securities might reasonably expect to receive upon their current sale, because of the uncertainty inherent in fair value pricing, the value determined for a particular security may be materially different than the value realized upon its sale.  For information about the pricing of some specific positions (e.g. swaps) see descriptions below.  Because many foreign equity securities markets and exchanges close prior to the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), closing prices for foreign securities in those markets or on those exchanges do not reflect the events that occur after that close but before the close of the NYSE.  As a result, the Fund generally values foreign equity securities as of the NYSE close using fair value prices, which are based on adjustments to closing prices supplied by a third party vendor using that vendor’s proprietary models.  As of May 31, 2009, 90.21% of the net assets of the Fund were valued using fair value prices based on models used by that third party vendor and are classified as using level 2 inputs in the table below.

 

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS 157”). While the adoption of SFAS 157 does not have an effect on the Fund’s net asset value, it does require additional disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 establishes a three-level hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements. The valuation hierarchy is based upon the reliability of inputs to the valuation of the Fund’s investments. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.  The three levels are defined as follows:

 

Level 1 – Valuations based on quoted prices for identical securities in active markets.

 

Level 2 – Valuations determined using other significant direct or indirect observable inputs.

 

Level 3 – Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant.

 

The following is a summary of the categorization of investments by inputs used as of May 31, 2009 in valuing the Fund’s investments:

Foreign currency translation

 

The market values of foreign securities, currency holdings and related assets and liabilities are translated to U.S. dollars based on the 4 p.m. New York time exchange rates each business day.  Income and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the 4 p.m. New York time exchange rates on the business day the income and expenses are accrued or incurred.  The Fund does not isolate realized and unrealized gains and losses attributable to changes in exchange rates from gains and losses that arise from changes in the market value of investments.  Such fluctuations are included with net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments.  Net realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions represent gains and losses on disposition of currencies and forward currency contracts, currency gains and losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amount of investment income and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s accounting records and the U.S. dollar equivalent amounts actually received or paid.

 

Forward currency contracts

 

The Fund may enter into forward currency contracts, including forward cross currency contracts.  A forward currency contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell a currency at a set price on a future date (or to pay or receive the amounts of the change in relative values of the two currencies).  The market value of a forward currency contract fluctuates with changes in forward currency exchange rates.  Forward currency contracts are marked to market daily using rates supplied by a quotation service and changes in value are recorded by the Fund as unrealized gains or losses.  Realized gains or losses on the contracts are 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.  These contracts involve market risk in excess of the unrealized gain or loss.  They expose the Fund to the risk of unfavorable movements in currency values and the risk that the counterparty will be unable or unwilling to meet the terms of the contracts.

 

Futures contracts

 

The Fund may purchase and sell futures contracts.  A futures contract is a contract that obligates the holder to buy or sell an asset at a predetermined delivery price during a specified future time period.  Some futures contracts are net (cash) settled. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to deposit cash, U.S. government and agency obligations, or other liquid assets with the futures clearing broker in accordance with the initial margin requirements of the broker or exchange.  Futures contracts are marked to market daily and an appropriate payable or receivable for the change in value (“variation margin”) is recorded by the Fund.  The payable or receivable is settled on the following business day.  Gains or losses are recognized but not considered realized until the contracts expire or are closed.  Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of the variation margin.  Under some circumstances, futures exchanges may establish daily limits on the amount that the price of a futures contract can vary from the previous day’s settlement price, thereby effectively preventing liquidation of unfavorable positions.  Losses may arise from changes in the value of the underlying instrument if the Fund is unable to liquidate a futures position due to an illiquid market for the contract, the imposition of price limits or the failure of counterparty to perform under the contract terms.  Futures contracts are generally valued at the settlement price established at the close of business each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded.  Because many foreign exchanges close prior to the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), closing prices for foreign futures in those markets or on those markets or on those exchanges do not reflect the events that occur after that close but before the close of the NYSE. As a result, the Fund generally values foreign futures using fair value prices, which are based on adjustments to closing prices supplied by a third party vendor based on that vendor’s proprietary models.

The Fund may purchase put and call options.  A call option gives the holder the right to buy an asset; a put option gives the holder the right to sell an asset.  Purchasing options alters the Fund’s exposure to the underlying instrument by, in the case of a call option, entitling the Fund to purchase the underlying instrument at a set price from the writer of the option and, in the case of a put option, entitling the Fund to sell the underlying instrument at a set price to the writer of the option.  The Fund pays a premium for a purchased option.  That premium is disclosed in the Schedule of Investments and is subsequently marked to market to reflect the current value of the option.  Premiums paid for options that expire are treated as realized losses.  Premiums paid for options that are exercised or closed are deducted from the proceeds of the closing transaction to determine the realized gain or loss.  The risk associated with purchasing put and call options is limited to the premium paid.

 

The Fund may write (i.e., sell) call and put options.  Writing options alters the Fund’s exposure to the underlying instrument by, in the case of a call option, obligating the Fund to sell the underlying instrument at a set price to the option-holder and, in the case of a put option, obligating the Fund to purchase the underlying instrument at a set price from the option-holder. In some cases (e.g. index options), settlement will be in cash. When the Fund writes a call or put option, an amount equal to the premium received is recorded as a liability and subsequently marked to market to reflect the current value of the option written.  Premiums received from writing options that expire are treated as realized gains.  Premiums received from writing options that are exercised or closed are deducted from the amounts paid on the underlying future, security or currency transaction to determine the realized gain or loss.  The Fund as a writer of an option has no control over whether the underlying future, security or currency may be sold (call) or purchased (put) and as a result bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the future, security or currency underlying the option.  In the event that the Fund writes call or put options without an offsetting exposure (e.g. call options on a security that the Fund does not own), it bears the risk of substantial losses if

 



 

the price of the underlying asset increases (calls) or decreases (puts) during the term of the option.  Options expose the Fund to the risk the Fund may not be able to enter into a closing transaction because of an illiquid market.

 

The Fund values exchange traded options at the last sale price, or if no sale is reported, the last bid price for options it has purchased and the last ask price for options it has written.  The Fund values options traded over-the-counter using inputs provided by primary pricing sources and industry models.

 

Swap agreements

 

The Fund may enter into various types of swap agreements, including without limitation, swaps on securities and securities indices, interest rate swaps, total return swaps, credit default swaps, variance swaps, commodity swaps, inflation swaps and other types of available swaps.  A swap agreement is an agreement to exchange the return generated by one instrument for the return generated by another instrument.  Some swap contracts are net settled. When entering into a swap agreement, the Fund and/or the swap counterparty may post or receive cash or securities as collateral and will typically post or receive additional collateral as market values change.

 

Interest rate swap agreements involve an exchange by the parties of their respective commitments to pay or right to receive interest, e.g., an exchange of floating rate interest payments for fixed rate interest payments with respect to the notional amount of principal.

 

Total return swap agreements involve a commitment by one party to pay interest to the other party in exchange for a payment to it from the other party based on the return of a reference instrument (e.g., a security or basket of securities), both based on notional amounts. To the extent the return of the reference instrument exceeds or falls short of the interest payments, one party will receive a payment from or make a payment to the other party.

 

In a credit default swap agreement, one party makes payments to another party in exchange for the right to receive a specified return if a credit event occurs with respect to a referenced entity or entities.  Buying credit default protection reduces the buyer’s exposure (or increases negative exposure) in the event of an issuer’s default (e.g., it is intended to reduce risk where a party owns a security issued by or otherwise has exposure to the issuer).  Selling credit default protection subjects the seller to exposure to an issuer’s default or other credit events.  A seller of credit default protection receives payments in return for its obligation to pay the principal amount of a debt security (or other agreed-upon value) to the other party upon the occurrence of a credit event (e.g., issuer default or similar event).  If no credit event occurs, the seller has no payment obligations.  For credit default swap agreements on asset-backed securities, a credit event may be triggered by various events, which may include an issuer’s failure to pay interest or principal, a breach of a material representation or covenant, an agreement by the holders of an asset-backed security to a maturity extension, or a write-down on the collateral underlying the security.  For credit default swap agreements on corporate or sovereign issuers, a credit event may be triggered by such events as the issuer’s bankruptcy, failure to pay interest or principal, repudiation/moratorium or restructuring.

 

Variance swap agreements involve an agreement by two parties to exchange cash flows based on the measured variance (or square of volatility) of a specified underlying asset. One party agrees to exchange a “fixed rate” or strike price payment for the “floating rate” or realized price variance on the underlying asset with respect to the notional amount. At inception, the strike price chosen is generally fixed at a level such that the fair value of the swap is zero. As a result, no money changes hands at the initiation of the contract. At the expiration date, the amount paid by one party to the other is the difference between the realized price variance of the underlying asset and the strike price multiplied by the notional amount. A receiver of the realized price variance would receive a payment when the realized price variance of the underlying asset is greater than the strike price and would make a payment when that variance is less than the strike price. A payer of the realized price variance would make a payment when the realized price variance of the underlying asset is greater than the strike price and would receive a payment when that variance is less than the strike price. This type of agreement is essentially a forward contract on the future realized price variance of the underlying asset.

 

The Fund prices its swap agreements daily using models that may incorporate quotations from market makers and records the change in value, if any, as unrealized gain or loss.  Payments received or made on swap agreements are recorded as realized gain or loss.  Gains or losses are realized upon termination of the swap agreements, or reset dates as appropriate.

 

Swap agreements generally are not traded on financial markets. The values assigned to them may differ significantly from the values that would be realized upon termination, and the differences could be material. Entering into swap agreements involves counterparty credit, legal, and documentation risk that is generally not reflected in the models used to price the swap agreement.  Such risks include the possibility that the party with whom the Fund contracts may default on its obligations to perform or disagree as to the meaning of contractual terms, that the Fund has amounts on deposit in excess of amounts owed by the Fund, or that the collateral the other party posts may be insufficient or not timely received by the Fund.  Specifically, the amount shown as owed to the Fund under a swap agreement is not reduced if there is uncertainty about the counterparty’s willingness or ability to pay.  Credit risk is particularly acute in economic environments in which financial services firms are exposed to systemic risks of the type evidenced by the insolvency of Lehman Brothers in 2008 and subsequent market disruptions.

 



 

Investment risks

 

The Fund is subject to risks involved in investing in foreign securities that are not presented by investments in U.S. securities. These risks may involve adverse political and economic developments, including expropriation and the possible imposition of capital controls or other foreign governmental laws or restrictions. In addition, the securities of some foreign companies and securities markets are less liquid and at times may be more volatile than securities of comparable U.S. companies and U.S. securities markets.

 

Among other trading agreements, the Fund is party to International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreements (“ISDA Agreements”) with select counterparties that generally govern over-the-counter derivative transactions entered into by the Fund. The ISDA Master Agreements typically include representations and warranties as well as contractual terms related to collateral, events of default, termination events, and other provisions. Termination events include the decline in the net assets of the Fund below a certain level over a specified period of time and entitle a counterparty to elect to terminate early with respect to some or all the transactions under the ISDA Agreement with that counterparty. Such an election by one or more of the counterparties could have a material adverse impact on the Fund’s operations.  Due to declines in the net assets of the Fund prior to May 31, 2009, one or more counterparties are entitled to terminate early but none has taken such action.

 

Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities–Effective March 1, 2009, the Fund adopted FASB Statement of Financial Standards No. 161 “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS 161”). This standard is an amendment to FASB Statement No. 133 (“FASB 133”), “Accounting for Derivative Instruments” which expands the disclosure requirements of FASB 133 regarding an entity’s derivative instruments and hedging activities.

^^ As the Fund values its derivatives at fair value and recognizes changes in fair value through the statement of operations, it does not qualify for hedge accounting under FASB 133. The Fund’s investments in derivatives may represent an economic hedge; however, they are considered to be non-hedge transactions for the purpose of SFAS 161 disclosure.

Portfolio valuation

 

Securities listed on a securities exchange for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price on each business day, or if there is no such reported sale or official closing price, at the most recent quoted bid price, or broker bid (if the private market is more relevant in determining market value than the exchange).  Unlisted securities for which market quotations are readily available are generally valued at the most recent quoted bid price.  Debt instruments with a remaining maturity of sixty days or less are generally valued at amortized cost.  Shares of investment funds are generally valued at their net asset value.  Securities for which quotations are not readily available or whose values the Manager has determined to be unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Trustees or persons acting at their direction pursuant to procedures approved by the Trustees.  Although the goal of fair valuation is to determine the amount the owner of the securities might reasonably expect to receive upon their current sale, because of the uncertainty inherent in fair value pricing, the value determined for a particular security may be materially different than the value realized upon its sale.  For information about the pricing of some specific positions (e.g. swaps) see descriptions below.  Because many foreign equity securities markets and exchanges close prior to the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), closing prices for foreign securities in those markets or on those exchanges do not reflect the events that occur after that close but before the close of the NYSE.  As a result, the Fund generally values foreign equity securities as of the NYSE close using fair value prices, which are based on adjustments to closing prices supplied by a third party vendor using that vendor’s proprietary models.  As of May 31, 2009, 91.50% of the net assets of the Fund were valued using fair value prices based on models used by that third party vendor and are classified as using level 2 inputs in the table below.

 

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS 157”). While the adoption of SFAS 157 does not have an effect on the Fund’s net asset value, it does require additional disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 establishes a three-level hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements. The valuation hierarchy is based upon the reliability of inputs to the valuation of the Fund’s investments. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.  The three levels are defined as follows:

 

Level 1 – Valuations based on quoted prices for identical securities in active markets.

 

Level 2 – Valuations determined using other significant direct or indirect observable inputs.

 

Level 3 – Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant.

 

The following is a summary of the categorization of investments by inputs used as of May 31, 2009 in valuing the Fund’s investments:

The Fund held no investments or other financial instruments at either February 28, 2009 or May 31, 2009, whose fair value was determined using Level 3 inputs.

 



 

Foreign currency translation

 

The market values of foreign securities, currency holdings and related assets and liabilities are translated to U.S. dollars based on the 4 p.m. New York time exchange rates each business day.  Income and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the 4 p.m. New York time exchange rates on the business day the income and expenses are accrued or incurred.  The Fund does not isolate realized and unrealized gains and losses attributable to changes in exchange rates from gains and losses that arise from changes in the market value of investments.  Such fluctuations are included with net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments.  Net realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions represent gains and losses on disposition of currencies and forward currency contracts, currency gains and losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amount of investment income and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s accounting records and the U.S. dollar equivalent amounts actually received or paid.

 

Forward currency contracts

 

The Fund may enter into forward currency contracts, including forward cross currency contracts.  A forward currency contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell a currency at a set price on a future date (or to pay or receive the amounts of the change in relative values of the two currencies).  The market value of a forward currency contract fluctuates with changes in forward currency exchange rates.  Forward currency contracts are marked to market daily using rates supplied by a quotation service and changes in value are recorded by the Fund as unrealized gains or losses.  Realized gains or losses on the contracts are 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.  These contracts involve market risk in excess of the unrealized gain or loss.  They expose the Fund to the risk of unfavorable movements in currency values and the risk that the counterparty will be unable or unwilling to meet the terms of the contracts.

 

Rights and Warrants

 

A Fund may purchase or otherwise receive warrants or rights. Warrants and rights generally give the holder the right to receive, upon exercise, a security of the issuer at a stated price. Funds typically use warrants and rights in a manner similar to their use of options on securities, as described in Options below. Risks associated with the use of warrants and rights are generally similar to risks associated with the use of options. Unlike most options, however, warrants and rights are issued in specific amounts, and warrants generally have longer terms than options. Warrants and rights are not likely to be as liquid as exchange-traded options backed by a recognized clearing agency. In addition, the terms of warrants or rights may limit a Fund’s ability to exercise the warrants or rights at such time, or in such quantities, as the Fund would otherwise wish.

 

Futures contracts

 

The Fund may purchase and sell futures contracts.  A futures contract is a contract that obligates the holder to buy or sell an asset at a predetermined delivery price during a specified future time period.  Some futures contracts are net (cash) settled. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to deposit cash, U.S. government and agency obligations, or other liquid assets with the futures clearing broker in accordance with the initial margin requirements of the broker or exchange.  Futures contracts are marked to market daily and an appropriate payable or receivable for the change in value (“variation margin”) is recorded by the Fund.  The payable or receivable is settled on the following business day.  Gains or losses are recognized but not considered realized until the contracts expire or are closed.  Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of the variation margin.  Under some circumstances, futures exchanges may establish daily limits on the amount that the price of a futures contract can vary from the previous day’s settlement price, thereby effectively preventing liquidation of unfavorable positions.  Losses may arise from changes in the value of the underlying instrument if the Fund is unable to liquidate a futures position due to an illiquid market for the contract, the imposition of price limits or the failure of counterparty to perform under the contract terms.  Futures contracts are generally valued at the settlement price established each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded. Because many foreign exchanges close prior to the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), closing prices for foreign futures in those markets or on those markets or on those exchanges do not reflect the events that occur after that close but before the close of the NYSE. As a result, the Fund generally values foreign futures using fair value prices, which are based on adjustments to closing prices supplied by a third party vendor based on that vendor’s proprietary models.

 

Options

 

The Fund may purchase put and call options.  A call option gives the holder the right to buy an asset; a put option gives the holder the right to sell an asset.  Purchasing options alters the Fund’s exposure to the underlying instrument by, in the case of a call option, entitling the Fund to purchase the underlying instrument at a set price from the writer of the option and, in the case of a put option, entitling the Fund to sell the underlying instrument at a set price to the writer of the option.  The Fund pays a premium for a purchased option.  That premium is disclosed in the Schedule of Investments and is subsequently marked to market to reflect the current value of the option.  Premiums paid for options that expire are treated as realized losses.  Premiums paid for options that are exercised or closed are deducted from the proceeds of the closing transaction to determine the realized gain or loss.  The risk associated with purchasing put and call options is limited to the premium paid.

 

The Fund may write (i.e., sell) call and put options.   Writing options alters the Fund’s exposure to the underlying instrument by, in the case of a call option, obligating the Fund to sell the underlying instrument at a set price to the option-holder and, in the case of a put option, obligating the Fund to purchase the underlying instrument at a set price from the option-holder. In some cases (e.g. index options), settlement will be in cash. When the Fund writes a call or put option, an amount equal to the premium received is recorded as a liability and subsequently marked to market to reflect the current value of the option written.  Premiums received from writing options that expire are treated as realized gains.  Premiums received from writing options that are exercised or closed are deducted from the amounts paid on the underlying future, security or currency transaction to determine the realized gain or loss.  The Fund as a writer of an option has no control over whether the underlying future, security or currency may be sold (call) or purchased (put) and as a result bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the future, security or currency underlying the option.  In the event that the Fund writes call or put options without an offsetting exposure (e.g. call options on a security that the Fund does not own), it bears the risk of substantial losses if

 



 

the price of the underlying asset increases (calls) or decreases (puts) during the term of the option.  Options expose the Fund to the risk the Fund may not be able to enter into a closing transaction because of an illiquid market.

 

The Fund values exchange traded options at the last sale price, or if no sale is reported, the last bid price for options it has purchased and the last ask price for options it has written.  The Fund values options traded over-the-counter using inputs provided by primary pricing sources and industry models.

 

Swap agreements

 

The Fund may enter into various types of swap agreements, including without limitation, swaps on securities and securities indices, interest rate swaps, total return swaps, credit default swaps, variance swaps, commodity swaps, inflation swaps and other types of available swaps.  A swap agreement is an agreement to exchange the return generated by one instrument for the return generated by another instrument.  Some swap contracts are net settled. When entering into a swap agreement, the Fund and/or the swap counterparty may post or receive cash or securities as collateral and will typically post or receive additional collateral as market values change.

 

Interest rate swap agreements involve an exchange by the parties of their respective commitments to pay or right to receive interest, e.g., an exchange of floating rate interest payments for fixed rate interest payments with respect to the notional amount of principal.

 

Total return swap agreements involve a commitment by one party to pay interest to the other party in exchange for a payment to it from the other party based on the return of a reference instrument (e.g., a security or basket of securities), both based on notional amounts. To the extent the return of the reference instrument exceeds or falls short of the interest payments, one party will receive a payment from or make a payment to the other party.

 

In a credit default swap agreement, one party makes payments to another party in exchange for the right to receive a specified return if a credit event occurs with respect to a referenced entity or entities.  Buying credit default protection reduces the buyer’s exposure (or increases negative exposure) in the event of an issuer’s default (e.g., it is intended to reduce risk where a party owns a security issued by or otherwise has exposure to the issuer).  Selling credit default protection subjects the seller to exposure to an issuer’s default or other credit events.  A seller of credit default protection receives payments in return for its obligation to pay the principal amount of a debt security (or other agreed-upon value) to the other party upon the occurrence of a credit event (e.g., issuer default or similar event).  If no credit event occurs, the seller has no payment obligations.  For credit default swap agreements on asset-backed securities, a credit event may be triggered by various events, which may include an issuer’s failure to pay interest or principal, a breach of a material representation or covenant, an agreement by the holders of an asset-backed security to a maturity extension, or a write-down on the collateral underlying the security.  For credit default swap agreements on corporate or sovereign issuers, a credit event may be triggered by such events as the issuer’s bankruptcy, failure to pay interest or principal, repudiation/moratorium or restructuring.

 

Variance swap agreements involve an agreement by two parties to exchange cash flows based on the measured variance (or square of volatility) of a specified underlying asset. One party agrees to exchange a “fixed rate” or strike price payment for the “floating rate” or realized price variance on the underlying asset with respect to the notional amount. At inception, the strike price chosen is generally fixed at a level such that the fair value of the swap is zero. As a result, no money changes hands at the initiation of the contract. At the expiration date, the amount paid by one party to the other is the difference between the realized price variance of the underlying asset and the strike price multiplied by the notional amount. A receiver of the realized price variance would receive a payment when the realized price variance of the underlying asset is greater than the strike price and would make a payment when that variance is less than the strike price. A payer of the realized price variance would make a payment when the realized price variance of the underlying asset is greater than the strike price and would receive a payment when that variance is less than the strike price. This type of agreement is essentially a forward contract on the future realized price variance of the underlying asset.

 

The Fund prices its swap agreements daily using models that may incorporate quotations from market makers and records the change in value, if any, as unrealized gain or loss.  Payments received or made on swap agreements are recorded as realized gain or loss.  Gains or losses are realized upon termination of the swap agreements, or reset dates as appropriate.

 

Swap agreements generally are not traded on financial markets. The values assigned to them may differ significantly from the values that would be realized upon termination, and the differences could be material. Entering into swap agreements involves counterparty credit, legal, and documentation risk that is generally not reflected in the models used to price the swap agreement.  Such risks include the possibility that the party with whom the Fund contracts may default on its obligations to perform or disagree as to the meaning of contractual terms, that the Fund has amounts on deposit in excess of amounts owed by the Fund, or that the collateral the other party posts may be insufficient or not timely received by the Fund.  Specifically, the amount shown as owed to the Fund under a swap agreement is not reduced if there is uncertainty about the counterparty’s willingness or ability to pay.  Credit risk is particularly acute in economic environments in which financial services firms are exposed to systemic risks of the type evidenced by the insolvency of Lehman Brothers in 2008 and subsequent market disruptions.

 



 

Investment risks

 

The Fund is subject to risks involved in investing in foreign securities that are not presented by investments in U.S. securities. These risks may involve adverse political and economic developments, including expropriation and the possible imposition of capital controls or other foreign governmental laws or restrictions. In addition, the securities of some foreign companies and securities markets are less liquid and at times may be more volatile than securities of comparable U.S. companies and U.S. securities markets.

 

Among other trading agreements, the Fund is party to International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreements (“ISDA Agreements”) with select counterparties that generally govern over-the-counter derivative transactions entered into by the Fund. The ISDA Master Agreements typically include representations and warranties as well as contractual terms related to collateral, events of default, termination events, and other provisions. Termination events include the decline in the net assets of the Fund below a certain level over a specified period of time and entitle a counterparty to elect to terminate early with respect to some or all the transactions under the ISDA Agreement with that counterparty. Such an election by one or more of the counterparties could have a material adverse impact on the Fund’s operations.  Due to declines in the net assets of the Fund prior to May 31, 2009, one or more counterparties are entitled to terminate early but none has taken such action.

 

Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities–Effective March 1, 2009, the Fund adopted FASB Statement of Financial Standards No. 161 “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS 161”). This standard is an amendment to FASB Statement No. 133 (“FASB 133”), “Accounting for Derivative Instruments” which expands the disclosure requirements of FASB 133 regarding an entity’s derivative instruments and hedging activities.

Notes to Schedule of Investments:

 



 

Portfolio valuation

 

Shares of the underlying funds and other mutual funds are generally valued at their net asset value.

 

Investments held by the underlying funds are valued as follows.  Securities listed on a securities exchange for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price on each business day, or if there is no such reported sale or official closing price, at the most recent quoted bid price, or broker bid (if the private market is more relevant in determining market value than the exchange).  Unlisted securities for which market quotations are readily available are generally valued at the most recent quoted bid price.  Debt instruments with a remaining maturity of sixty days or less are generally valued at amortized cost.  Shares of investment funds are generally valued at their net asset value.  Securities for which quotations are not readily available or whose values the Manager has determined to be unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Trustees or persons acting at their direction pursuant to procedures approved by the Trustees.  Although the goal of fair valuation is to determine the amount the owner of the securities might reasonably expect to receive upon their current sale, because of the uncertainty inherent in fair value pricing, the value determined for a particular security may be materially different than the value realized upon its sale.  Because many foreign equity securities markets and exchanges close prior to the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), closing prices for foreign securities in those markets or on those exchanges do not reflect the events that occur after that close but before the close of the NYSE.  As a result, the Fund generally values foreign equity securities as of the NYSE close using fair value prices, which are based on adjustments to closing prices supplied by a third party vendor using that vendor’s proprietary models.  As of May 31, 2009, 91.02% of the net assets of the Fund, through investments in the underlying funds, were valued using fair value prices based on models used by that third party vendor. Those underlying funds classify such securities under SFAS 157 (as defined below) as level 2.

 

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS 157”). While the adoption of SFAS 157 does not have an effect on the Fund’s net asset value, it does require additional disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 establishes a three-level hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements. The valuation hierarchy is based upon the reliability of inputs to the valuation of the Fund’s investments. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.  The three levels are defined as follows:

 

Level 1 – Valuations based on quoted prices for identical securities in active markets.

 

Level 2 – Valuations determined using other significant direct or indirect observable inputs.

 

Level 3 – Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant.

 

The following is a summary of the categorization of investments by inputs used as of May 31, 2009 in valuing the Fund’s investments:

Investment risks

 

The Fund is indirectly exposed to all of the risks associated with an investment in the underlying funds, including the risk that the underlying funds in which it invests will not perform as expected.  Some underlying funds may invest directly and/or indirectly in foreign securities.  The Fund is subject to risks involved in investing in foreign securities that are not presented by investments in U.S. securities. These risks may involve adverse political and economic developments, including expropriation and the possible imposition of capital controls or other foreign governmental laws or restrictions. In addition, the securities of some foreign companies and securities markets are less liquid and at times more volatile than securities of comparable U.S. companies and U.S. securities markets.  Also, fluctuations in exchange rates may adversely affect the U.S. dollar value of the Fund’s foreign currency holdings and investments denominated in foreign currency.  The risks described above apply to an even greater extent to investments in emerging countries. The securities markets of emerging countries are generally smaller, less developed, less liquid, and more volatile than the securities markets of the U.S. and developed foreign markets. Additionally, the investment risks associated with an investment in the underlying funds may be greater to the extent that the underlying funds engage in derivative transactions.

 

Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities–Effective March 1, 2009, the Fund adopted FASB Statement of Financial Standards No. 161 “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS 161”). This standard is an amendment to FASB Statement No. 133 (“FASB 133”), which expands the disclosure requirements of FASB 133 regarding an entity’s derivative instruments and hedging activities.

 

The Fund adopted SFAS 161 on March 1, 2009.  As of May 31, 2009, the Fund held no derivative contracts for the purposes of SFAS 161.

Portfolio valuation

 

Securities listed on a securities exchange for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price on each business day, or if there is no such reported sale or official closing price, at the most recent quoted bid price, or broker bid (if the private market is more relevant in determining market value than the exchange).  Unlisted securities for which market quotations are readily available are generally valued at the most recent quoted bid price.  Debt instruments with a remaining maturity of sixty days or less are generally valued at amortized cost.  Shares of investment funds are generally valued at their net asset value.  Securities for which quotations are not readily available or whose values the Manager has determined to be unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Trustees or persons acting at their direction pursuant to procedures approved by the Trustees.  Although the goal of fair valuation is to determine the amount the owner of the securities might reasonably expect to receive upon their current sale, because of the uncertainty inherent in fair value pricing, the value determined for a particular security may be materially different than the value realized upon its sale.  For information about the pricing of some specific positions (e.g. swaps) see descriptions below.  Because many foreign equity securities markets and exchanges close prior to the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), closing prices for foreign securities in those markets or on those exchanges do not reflect the events that occur after that close but before the close of the NYSE.  As a result, the Fund generally values foreign equity securities as of the NYSE close using fair value prices, which are based on adjustments to closing prices supplied by a third party vendor using that vendor’s proprietary models.  As of May 31, 2009, 91.89% of the net assets of the Fund were valued using fair value prices based on models used by that third party vendor and are classified as using level 2 inputs in the table below.

 

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS 157”). While the adoption of SFAS 157 does not have an effect on the Fund’s net asset value, it does require additional disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 establishes a three-level hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements. The valuation hierarchy is based upon the reliability of inputs to the valuation of the Fund’s investments. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.  The three levels are defined as follows:

 

Level 1 – Valuations based on quoted prices for identical securities in active markets.

 

Level 2 – Valuations determined using other significant direct or indirect observable inputs.

 

Level 3 – Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant. The Fund utilized the following fair value techniques on level 3 investments: The Fund considered certain bankrupt securities to be worthless. The Fund also valued another certain security at the last traded price prior to the company filling for bankruptcy protection.

Foreign currency translation

 

The market values of foreign securities, currency holdings and related assets and liabilities are translated to U.S. dollars based on the 4 p.m. New York time exchange rates each business day.  Income and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the 4 p.m. New York time exchange rates on the business day the income and expenses are accrued or incurred.  The Fund does not isolate realized and unrealized gains and losses attributable to changes in exchange rates from gains and losses that arise from changes in the market value of investments.  Such fluctuations are included with net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments.  Net realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions represent gains and losses on disposition of currencies and forward currency contracts, currency gains and losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amount of investment income and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s accounting records and the U.S. dollar equivalent amounts actually received or paid.

 

Forward currency contracts

 

The Fund may enter into forward currency contracts, including forward cross currency contracts.  A forward currency contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell a currency at a set price on a future date (or to pay or receive the amounts of the change in relative values of the two currencies).  The market value of a forward currency contract fluctuates with changes in forward currency exchange rates.  Forward currency contracts are marked to market daily using rates supplied by a quotation service and changes in value are recorded by the Fund as unrealized gains or losses.  Realized gains or losses on the contracts are 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.  These contracts involve market risk in excess of the unrealized gain or loss.  They expose the Fund to the risk of unfavorable movements in currency values and the risk that the counterparty will be unable or unwilling to meet the terms of the contracts.

 

Rights and Warrants

 

A Fund may purchase or otherwise receive warrants or rights. Warrants and rights generally give the holder the right to receive, upon exercise, a security of the issuer at a stated price. Funds typically use warrants and rights in a manner similar to their use of options on securities, as described in Options below. Risks associated with the use of warrants and rights are generally similar to risks associated with the use of options. Unlike most options, however, warrants and rights are issued in specific amounts, and warrants generally have longer terms than options. Warrants and rights are not likely to be as liquid as exchange-traded options backed by a recognized clearing agency. In addition, the terms of warrants or rights may limit a Fund’s ability to exercise the warrants or rights at such time, or in such quantities, as the Fund would otherwise wish.

 

Futures contracts

 

The Fund may purchase and sell futures contracts.  A futures contract is a contract that obligates the holder to buy or sell an asset at a predetermined delivery price during a specified future time period.  Some futures contracts are net (cash) settled. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to deposit cash, U.S. government and agency obligations, or other liquid assets with the futures clearing broker in accordance with the initial margin requirements of the broker or exchange.  Futures contracts are marked to market daily and an appropriate payable or receivable for the change in value (“variation margin”) is recorded by the Fund.  The payable or receivable is settled on the following business day.  Gains or losses are recognized but not considered realized until the contracts expire or are closed.  Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of the variation margin.  Under some circumstances, futures exchanges may establish daily limits on the amount that the price of a futures contract can vary from the previous day’s settlement price, thereby effectively preventing liquidation of unfavorable positions.  Losses may arise from changes in the value of the underlying instrument if the Fund is unable to liquidate a futures position due to an illiquid market for the contract, the imposition of price limits or the failure of counterparty to perform under the contract terms.  Futures contracts are generally valued at the settlement price established at the close of business each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded.  Because many foreign exchanges close prior to the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), closing prices for foreign futures in those markets or on those markets or on those exchanges do not reflect the events that occur after that close but before the close of the NYSE. As a result, the Fund generally values foreign futures using fair value prices, which are based on adjustments to closing prices supplied by a third party vendor based on that vendor’s proprietary models.

 

Options

 

The Fund may purchase put and call options.  A call option gives the holder the right to buy an asset; a put option gives the holder the right to sell an asset.  Purchasing options alters the Fund’s exposure to the underlying instrument by, in the case of a call option, entitling the Fund to purchase the underlying instrument at a set price from the writer of the option and, in the case of a put option, entitling the Fund to sell the underlying instrument at a set price to the writer of the option.  The Fund pays a premium for a purchased option.  That premium is disclosed in the Schedule of Investments and is subsequently marked to market to reflect the current value of the option.  Premiums paid

 



 

for options that expire are treated as realized losses.  Premiums paid for options that are exercised or closed are deducted from the proceeds of the closing transaction to determine the realized gain or loss.  The risk associated with purchasing put and call options is limited to the premium paid.

 

The Fund may write (i.e., sell) call and put options.   Writing options alters the Fund’s exposure to the underlying instrument by, in the case of a call option, obligating the Fund to sell the underlying instrument at a set price to the option-holder and, in the case of a put option, obligating the Fund to purchase the underlying instrument at a set price from the option-holder. In some cases (e.g. index options), settlement will be in cash. When the Fund writes a call or put option, an amount equal to the premium received is recorded as a liability and subsequently marked to market to reflect the current value of the option written.  Premiums received from writing options that expire are treated as realized gains.  Premiums received from writing options that are exercised or closed are deducted from the amounts paid on the underlying future, security or currency transaction to determine the realized gain or loss.  The Fund as a writer of an option has no control over whether the underlying future, security or currency may be sold (call) or purchased (put) and as a result bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the future, security or currency underlying the option.  In the event that the Fund writes call or put options without an offsetting exposure (e.g. call options on a security that the Fund does not own), it bears the risk of substantial losses if the price of the underlying asset increases (calls) or decreases (puts) during the term of the option.  Options expose the Fund to the risk the Fund may not be able to enter into a closing transaction because of an illiquid market.

 

The Fund values exchange traded options at the last sale price, or if no sale is reported, the last bid price for options it has purchased and the last ask price for options it has written.  The Fund values options traded over-the-counter using inputs provided by primary pricing sources and industry models.

 

Swap agreements

 

The Fund may enter into various types of swap agreements, including without limitation, swaps on securities and securities indices, interest rate swaps, total return swaps, credit default swaps, variance swaps, commodity swaps, inflation swaps and other types of available swaps.  A swap agreement is an agreement to exchange the return generated by one instrument for the return generated by another instrument.  Some swap contracts are net settled. When entering into a swap agreement, the Fund and/or the swap counterparty may post or receive cash or securities as collateral and will typically post or receive additional collateral as market values change.

 

Interest rate swap agreements involve an exchange by the parties of their respective commitments to pay or right to receive interest, e.g., an exchange of floating rate interest payments for fixed rate interest payments with respect to the notional amount of principal.

 

Total return swap agreements involve a commitment by one party to pay interest to the other party in exchange for a payment to it from the other party based on the return of a reference instrument (e.g., a security or basket of securities), both based on notional amounts. To the extent the return of the reference instrument exceeds or falls short of the interest payments, one party will receive a payment from or make a payment to the other party.

 

In a credit default swap agreement, one party makes payments to another party in exchange for the right to receive a specified return if a credit event occurs with respect to a referenced entity or entities.  Buying credit default protection reduces the buyer’s exposure (or increases negative exposure) in the event of an issuer’s default (e.g., it is intended to reduce risk where a party owns a security issued by or otherwise has exposure to the issuer).  Selling credit default protection subjects the seller to exposure to an issuer’s default or other credit events.  A seller of credit default protection receives payments in return for its obligation to pay the principal amount of a debt security (or other agreed-upon value) to the other party upon the occurrence of a credit event (e.g., issuer default or similar event).  If no credit event occurs, the seller has no payment obligations.  For credit default swap agreements on asset-backed securities, a credit event may be triggered by various events, which may include an issuer’s failure to pay interest or principal, a breach of a material representation or covenant, an agreement by the holders of an asset-backed security to a maturity extension, or a write-down on the collateral underlying the security.  For credit default swap agreements on corporate or sovereign issuers, a credit event may be triggered by such events as the issuer’s bankruptcy, failure to pay interest or principal, repudiation/moratorium or restructuring.

 

Variance swap agreements involve an agreement by two parties to exchange cash flows based on the measured variance (or square of volatility) of a specified underlying asset. One party agrees to exchange a “fixed rate” or strike price payment for the “floating rate” or realized price variance on the underlying asset with respect to the notional amount. At inception, the strike price chosen is generally fixed at a level such that the fair value of the swap is zero. As a result, no money changes hands at the initiation of the contract. At the expiration date, the amount paid by one party to the other is the difference between the realized price variance of the underlying asset and the strike price multiplied by the notional amount. A receiver of the realized price variance would receive a payment when the realized price variance of the underlying asset is greater than the strike price and would make a payment when that variance is less than the strike price. A payer of the realized price variance would make a payment when the realized price variance of the underlying asset is greater than the strike price and would receive a payment when that variance is less than the strike price. This type of agreement is essentially a forward contract on the future realized price variance of the underlying asset.

 



 

The Fund prices its swap agreements daily using models that may incorporate quotations from market makers and records the change in value, if any, as unrealized gain or loss.  Payments received or made on swap agreements are recorded as realized gain or loss.  Gains or losses are realized upon termination of the swap agreements, or reset dates as appropriate.

 

Swap agreements generally are not traded on financial markets. The values assigned to them may differ significantly from the values that would be realized upon termination, and the differences could be material. Entering into swap agreements involves counterparty credit, legal, and documentation risk that is generally not reflected in the models used to price the swap agreement.  Such risks include the possibility that the party with whom the Fund contracts may default on its obligations to perform or disagree as to the meaning of contractual terms, that the Fund has amounts on deposit in excess of amounts owed by the Fund, or that the collateral the other party posts may be insufficient or not timely received by the Fund.  Specifically, the amount shown as owed to the Fund under a swap agreement is not reduced if there is uncertainty about the counterparty’s willingness or ability to pay.  Credit risk is particularly acute in economic environments in which financial services firms are exposed to systemic risks of the type evidenced by the insolvency of Lehman Brothers in 2008 and subsequent market disruptions.

 

Investment risks

 

The Fund is subject to risks involved in investing in foreign securities that are not presented by investments in U.S. securities. These risks may involve adverse political and economic developments, including expropriation and the possible imposition of capital controls or other foreign governmental laws or restrictions. In addition, the securities of some foreign companies and securities markets are less liquid and at times may be more volatile than securities of comparable U.S. companies and U.S. securities markets.

 

Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities–Effective March 1, 2009, the Fund adopted FASB Statement of Financial Standards No. 161 “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS 161”). This standard is an amendment to FASB Statement No. 133 (“FASB 133”), “Accounting for Derivative Instruments” which expands the disclosure requirements of FASB 133 regarding an entity’s derivative instruments and hedging activities.

^^ As the Fund values its derivatives at fair value and recognizes changes in fair value through the statement of operations, it does not qualify for hedge accounting under FASB 133. The Fund’s investments in derivatives may represent an economic hedge; however, they are considered to be non-hedge transactions for the purpose of SFAS 161 disclosure.

Notes to Schedule of Investments:

 



 

Portfolio valuation

 

Securities listed on a securities exchange for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price on each business day, or if there is no such reported sale or official closing price, at the most recent quoted bid price, or broker bid (if the private market is more relevant in determining market value than the exchange).  Unlisted securities for which market quotations are readily available are generally valued at the most recent quoted bid price.  Debt instruments with a remaining maturity of sixty days or less are generally valued at amortized cost.  Shares of investment funds are generally valued at their net asset value.  Securities for which quotations are not readily available or whose values the Manager has determined to be unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Trustees or persons acting at their direction pursuant to procedures approved by the Trustees.  Although the goal of fair valuation is to determine the amount the owner of the securities might reasonably expect to receive upon their current sale, because of the uncertainty inherent in fair value pricing, the value determined for a particular security may be materially different than the value realized upon its sale.

 

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS 157”). While the adoption of SFAS 157 does not have an effect on the Fund’s net asset value, it does require additional disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 establishes a three-level hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements. The valuation hierarchy is based upon the reliability of inputs to the valuation of the Fund’s investments. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.  The three levels are defined as follows:

 

Level 1 – Valuations based on quoted prices for identical securities in active markets.

 

Level 2 – Valuations determined using other significant direct or indirect observable inputs.

 

Level 3 – Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant.

 

The following is a summary of the categorization of investments by inputs used as of May 31, 2009 in valuing the Fund’s investments:

The Fund held no investments or other financial instruments at either February 28, 2009 or May 31, 2009, whose fair value was determined using level 3 inputs.

 

Futures contracts

 

The Fund may purchase and sell futures contracts.  A futures contract is a contract that obligates the holder to buy or sell an asset at a predetermined delivery price during a specified future time period.  Some futures contracts are net (cash) settled. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to deposit cash, U.S. government and agency obligations, or other liquid assets with the futures clearing broker in accordance with the initial margin requirements of the broker or exchange.  Futures contracts are marked to market daily and an appropriate payable or receivable for the change in value (“variation margin”) is recorded by the Fund.  The payable or receivable is settled on the following business day.  Gains or losses are recognized but not considered realized until the contracts expire or are closed.  Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of the variation margin.  Under some circumstances, futures exchanges may establish daily limits on the amount that the price of a futures contract can vary from the previous day’s settlement price, thereby effectively preventing liquidation of unfavorable positions.  Losses may arise from changes in the value of the underlying instrument if the Fund is unable to liquidate a futures position due to an illiquid market

 



 

for the contract, the imposition of price limits or the failure of counterparty to perform under the contract terms.  Futures contracts are generally valued at the settlement price established at the close of business each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded.

 

Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities–Effective March 1, 2009, the Fund adopted FASB Statement of Financial Standards No. 161 “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS 161”). This standard is an amendment to FASB Statement No. 133 (“FASB 133”), “Accounting for Derivative Instruments” which expands the disclosure requirements of FASB 133 regarding an entity’s derivative instruments and hedging activities.

 

The Fund adopted SFAS 161 on March 1, 2009.  As of May 31, 2009, the Fund held no derivative contracts for the purposes of SFAS 161.

^

Receive - Fund receives premium and sells credit protection.

 

(Pay) - Fund pays premium and buys credit protection.

(1)

Implied credit spreads, represented in absolute terms, utilized in determining the market value of credit default swap agreements on the reference security, as of May 31, 2009, serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk and reflect the likelihood or risk of default for the credit derivative.  The implied credit spread of a particular referenced entity reflects the cost of buying/selling protection and may include upfront payments required to be made to enter into the agreement.  Wider (i.e. higher) credit spreads represent a deterioration of the referenced entity’s credit soundness and a greater likelihood or risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the agreement.

(2)

The maximum potential amount the Fund could be required to make as a seller of credit protection if a credit event occurs as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement.

 

As of May 31, 2009, for the swap contracts held, the Fund had sufficient cash and/or securities to cover any commitments or collateral requirements of the relevant broker or exchange.

Securities listed on a securities exchange for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price on each business day, or if there is no such reported sale or official closing price, at the most recent quoted bid price, or broker bid (if the private market is more relevant in determining market value than the exchange).  Unlisted securities for which market quotations are readily available are generally valued at the most recent quoted bid price.  Debt instruments with a remaining maturity of sixty days or less are generally valued at amortized cost.  Shares of investment funds are generally valued at their net asset value.  Securities for which quotations are not readily available or whose values the Manager has determined to be unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Trustees or persons acting at their direction pursuant to procedures approved by the Trustees.  Although the goal of fair valuation is to determine the amount the owner of the securities might reasonably expect to receive upon their current sale, because of the uncertainty inherent in fair value pricing, the value determined for a particular security may be materially different than the value realized upon its sale.  For information about the pricing of some specific positions (e.g. swaps) see descriptions below.

 

Typically the Fund values debt instruments based on the most recent bid supplied by a single pricing source chosen by the Manager.  The Manager evaluates pricing sources on an ongoing basis, and may change a pricing source at any time.  The Manager normally does not evaluate the prices supplied by pricing sources on a day-to-day basis.  The Manager monitors erratic or unusual movements (including unusual inactivity) in the prices supplied for a security and has discretion to override a price supplied by a source (e.g., by taking a price supplied by another) when it believes that the price supplied is not reliable.  The prices provided by a pricing source may differ from the value that would be realized if the securities were sold, and the differences could be material. In addition, although alternative prices are available for other securities held by the Fund, those alternative sources would not necessarily confirm the security price used by the Fund. Therefore, the existence of those alternative sources does not necessarily provide greater certainty about the prices used by the Fund.  As of May 31, 2009, the total value of securities held directly for which no alternative pricing source was available represented 19.34% of the net assets of the Fund.

 

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS 157”). While the adoption of SFAS 157 does not have an effect on the Fund’s net asset value, it does require additional disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 establishes a three-level hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements. The valuation hierarchy is based upon the reliability of inputs to the valuation of the Fund’s investments. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.  The three levels are defined as follows:

 

Level 1 – Valuations based on quoted prices for identical securities in active markets.

 

Level 2 – Valuations determined using other significant direct or indirect observable inputs.

 

Level 3 – Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant. The Fund utilized the following fair value techniques on Level 3 investments: The Fund valued certain debt securities using indicative bids received from primary pricing sources.  The Fund also valued certain credit default swaps using industry standard models and inputs from pricing vendors.

 

The following is a summary of the categorization of investments by inputs used as of May 31, 2009 in valuing the Fund’s investments:

Foreign currency translation

 

The market values of foreign securities, currency holdings and related assets and liabilities are translated to U.S. dollars based on the 4 p.m. New York time exchange rates each business day.  Income and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the 4 p.m. New York time exchange rates on the business day the income and expenses are accrued or incurred.  The Fund does not isolate realized and unrealized gains and losses attributable to changes in exchange rates from gains and losses that arise from changes in the market value of investments.  Such fluctuations are included with net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments.  Net realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions represent gains and losses on disposition of currencies and forward currency contracts, currency gains and losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amount of investment income and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s accounting records and the U.S. dollar equivalent amounts actually received or paid.

 

Forward currency contracts

 

The Fund may enter into forward currency contracts, including forward cross currency contracts.  A forward currency contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell a currency at a set price on a future date (or to pay or receive the amounts of the change in relative values of the two currencies).  The market value of a forward currency contract fluctuates with changes in forward currency exchange rates.  Forward currency contracts are marked to market daily using rates supplied by a quotation service and changes in value are recorded by the Fund as unrealized gains or losses.  Realized gains or losses on the contracts are 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.  These contracts involve market risk in excess of the unrealized gain or loss.  They expose the Fund to the risk of unfavorable movements in currency values and the risk that the counterparty will be unable or unwilling to meet the terms of the contracts.

 

Futures contracts

 

The Fund may purchase and sell futures contracts.  A futures contract is a contract that obligates the holder to buy or sell an asset at a predetermined delivery price during a specified future time period.  Some futures contracts are net (cash) settled. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to deposit cash, U.S. government and agency obligations, or other liquid assets with the futures clearing broker in accordance with the initial margin requirements of the broker or exchange.  Futures contracts are marked to market daily and an appropriate payable or receivable for the change in value (“variation margin”) is recorded by the Fund.  The payable or receivable is settled on the following business day.  Gains or losses are recognized but not considered realized until the contracts expire or are closed.  Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of the variation margin.  Under some circumstances, futures exchanges may establish daily limits on the amount that the price of a futures contract can vary from the previous day’s settlement price, thereby effectively preventing liquidation of unfavorable positions.  Losses may arise from changes in the value of the underlying instrument if the Fund is unable to liquidate a futures position due to an illiquid market for the contract, the imposition of price limits or the failure of counterparty to perform under the contract terms.  Futures contracts are generally valued at the settlement price established at the close of business each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded.

 

Options

 

The Fund may purchase put and call options.  A call option gives the holder the right to buy an asset; a put option gives the holder the right to sell an asset.  Purchasing options alters the Fund’s exposure to the underlying instrument by, in the case of a call option, entitling the Fund to purchase the underlying instrument at a set price from the writer of the option and, in the case of a put option, entitling the Fund to sell the underlying instrument at a set price to the writer of the option.  The Fund pays a premium for a purchased option.  That premium is disclosed in the Schedule of Investments and is subsequently marked to market to reflect the current value of the option.  Premiums paid

 



 

for options that expire are treated as realized losses.  Premiums paid for options that are exercised or closed are deducted from the proceeds of the closing transaction to determine the realized gain or loss.  The risk associated with purchasing put and call options is limited to the premium paid.

 

The Fund may write (i.e., sell) call and put options.   Writing options alters the Fund’s exposure to the underlying instrument by, in the case of a call option, obligating the Fund to sell the underlying instrument at a set price to the option-holder and, in the case of a put option, obligating the Fund to purchase the underlying instrument at a set price from the option-holder. In some cases (e.g. index options), settlement will be in cash. When the Fund writes a call or put option, an amount equal to the premium received is recorded as a liability and subsequently marked to market to reflect the current value of the option written.  Premiums received from writing options that expire are treated as realized gains.  Premiums received from writing options that are exercised or closed are deducted from the amounts paid on the underlying future, security or currency transaction to determine the realized gain or loss.  The Fund as a writer of an option has no control over whether the underlying future, security or currency may be sold (call) or purchased (put) and as a result bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the future, security or currency underlying the option.  In the event that the Fund writes call or put options without an offsetting exposure (e.g. call options on a security that the Fund does not own), it bears the risk of substantial losses if the price of the underlying asset increases (calls) or decreases (puts) during the term of the option.  Options expose the Fund to the risk the Fund may not be able to enter into a closing transaction because of an illiquid market.

 

The Fund values exchange traded options at the last sale price, or if no sale is reported, the last bid price for options it has purchased and the last ask price for options it has written.  The Fund values options traded over-the-counter using inputs provided by primary pricing sources and industry models.

 

Indexed securities

 

The Fund may invest in indexed securities.  Indexed securities are securities whose values and/or coupons are linked to the prices of a specific instrument, group of instruments or financial statistic.

 

Swap agreements

 

The Fund may enter into various types of swap agreements, including without limitation, swaps on securities and securities indicies, interest rate swaps, total return swaps, credit default swaps, variance swaps, commodity swaps, inflation swaps and other types of available swaps.  A swap agreement is an agreement to exchange the return generated by one instrument for the return generated by another instrument.  Some swap contracts are net settled. When entering into a swap agreement, the Fund and/or the swap counterparty may post or receive cash or securities as collateral and will typically post or receive additional collateral as market values change.

 

Interest rate swap agreements involve an exchange by the parties of their respective commitments to pay or right to receive interest, e.g., an exchange of floating rate interest payments for fixed rate interest payments with respect to the notional amount of principal.

 

Total return swap agreements involve a commitment by one party to pay interest to the other party in exchange for a payment to it from the other party based on the return of a reference instrument (e.g., a security or basket of securities), both based on notional amounts. To the extent the return of the reference instrument exceeds or falls short of the interest payments, one party will receive a payment from or make a payment to the other party.

 

In a credit default swap agreement, one party makes payments to another party in exchange for the right to receive a specified return if a credit event occurs with respect to a referenced entity or entities.  Buying credit default protection reduces the buyer’s exposure (or increases negative exposure) in the event of an issuer’s default (e.g., it is intended to reduce risk where a party owns a security issued by or otherwise has exposure to the issuer).  Selling credit default protection subjects the seller to exposure to an issuer’s default or other credit events.  A seller of credit default protection receives payments in return for its obligation to pay the principal amount of a debt security (or other agreed-upon value) to the other party upon the occurrence of a credit event (e.g., issuer default or similar event).  If no credit event occurs, the seller has no payment obligations.    For credit default swap agreements on asset-backed securities, a credit event may be triggered by various events, which may include an issuer’s failure to pay interest or principal, a breach of a material representation or covenant, an agreement by the holders of an asset-backed security to a maturity extension, or a write-down on the collateral underlying the security. For credit default swap agreements on corporate or sovereign issuers, a credit event may be triggered by such events as the issuer’s bankruptcy, failure to pay interest or principal, repudiation/moratorium or restructuring.

 

Variance swap agreements involve an agreement by two parties to exchange cash flows based on the measured variance (or square of volatility) of a specified underlying asset. One party agrees to exchange a “fixed rate” or strike price payment for the “floating rate” or realized price variance on the underlying asset with respect to the notional amount. At inception, the strike price chosen is generally fixed at a level such that the fair value of the swap is zero. As a result, no money changes hands at the initiation of the contract. At the expiration date, the amount paid by one party to the other is the difference between the realized price variance of the underlying asset and the strike price multiplied by the notional amount. A receiver of the realized price variance would receive a payment when the realized price variance of the underlying asset is greater than the strike price and would make a payment when that variance is less than the strike price. A payer of the realized price variance would make a payment when the realized price variance of the underlying asset is greater than the strike price

 



 

and would receive a payment when that variance is less than the strike price. This type of agreement is essentially a forward contract on the future realized price variance of the underlying asset.

 

The Fund prices its swap agreements daily using models that may incorporate quotations from market makers and records the change in value, if any, as unrealized gain or loss.  Payments received or made on swap agreements are recorded as realized gain or loss.  Gains or losses are realized upon termination of the swap agreements, or reset dates as appropriate.

 

Swap agreements generally are not traded on financial markets. The values assigned to them may differ significantly from the values that would be realized upon termination, and the differences could be material. Entering into swap agreements involves counterparty credit, legal, and documentation risk that is generally not reflected in the models used to price the swap agreement.  Such risks include the possibility that the party with whom the Fund contracts may default on its obligations to perform or disagree as to the meaning of contractual terms, that the Fund has amounts on deposit in excess of amounts owed by the Fund, or that the collateral the other party posts may be insufficient or not timely received by the Fund.  Specifically, the amount shown as owed to the Fund under a swap agreement is not reduced if there is uncertainty about the counterparty’s willingness or ability to pay. Credit risk is particularly acute in economic environments in which financial services firms are exposed to systemic risks of the type evidenced by the insolvency of Lehman Brothers in 2008 and subsequent market disruptions.

 

Reverse repurchase agreements

 

The Fund may enter into reverse repurchase agreements.  Under a reverse repurchase agreement the Fund sells portfolio assets subject to an agreement by the Fund to repurchase the same assets at a later date at a fixed price.  Also, if the buyer in a reverse repurchase agreement files for bankruptcy or becomes insolvent, the Fund may be unable to recover the securities it sold and as a result would realize a loss equal to the difference between the value of the securities and the payment it received for them.  This loss would be greater to the extent the buyer paid less than the value of the securities the Fund sold to it (e.g., a buyer may pay $95 for a bond with a market value of $100).  The Fund’s use of proceeds from the sale of its securities may be restricted while the other party or its trustee or receiver determines whether to honor the Fund’s right to repurchase the securities.

 

Investment risks

 

The Fund is subject to risks involved in investing in foreign securities that are not presented by investments in U.S. securities. These risks may involve adverse political and economic developments, including expropriation and the possible imposition of capital controls or other foreign governmental laws or restrictions. In addition, the securities of some foreign companies and securities markets are less liquid and at times may be more volatile than securities of comparable U.S. companies and U.S. securities markets. Also, fluctuations in exchange rates may adversely affect the U.S. dollar value of the Fund’s foreign currency holdings and investments denominated in foreign currency.  The risks described above apply to an even greater extent to investments in emerging countries. The securities markets of emerging countries are generally smaller, less developed, less liquid, and more volatile than the securities markets of the U.S. and developed foreign markets.

 

The Fund invests in asset-backed securities, which may be backed in whole or in part by many types of assets, including pools of residential and commercial mortgages, automobile loans, educational loans, home equity loans, or credit-card receivables, which bring additional types of market risk.  Asset-backed securities also may be collateralized by the fees earned by service providers. They also may be backed by pools of corporate or sovereign bonds, bank loans made to corporations, or a combination of these bonds and loans (commonly referred to as “collateralized debt obligations”). Payment of interest on asset-backed securities and repayment of principal largely depend on the cash flows generated by the underlying assets backing the securities. The amount of market risk associated with asset-backed securities depends on many factors, including the deal structure (e.g., determination as to the amount of underlying assets or other support needed to produce the cash flows necessary to service interest and make principal payments), the quality of the underlying assets, the level of credit support, if any, provided for the securities, and the credit quality of the credit-support provider, if any.  Asset-backed securities involve risk of loss of principal if obligors of the underlying obligations default in payment of the obligations and the defaulted obligations exceed the credit support. The obligations of issuers (and obligors of underlying assets) also are subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, and other laws affecting the rights and remedies of creditors.  Many asset-backed securities are now rated below investment grade.

 

With the deterioration of worldwide economic and liquidity conditions that became acute in 2008, the markets for asset-backed securities became fractured and uncertainty about the creditworthiness of those securities (and underlying collateral) caused credit spreads (the difference between yields on the asset-backed securities and U.S. Government securities) to widen dramatically. Concurrently, systemic risks of the type evidenced by the insolvency of Lehman Brothers and subsequent market disruptions reduced the ability of financial institutions to make markets in many fixed income securities generally.  These events reduced liquidity for securitized credits and contributed to substantial declines in the value of asset-backed and other fixed income securities. There can be no assurance these conditions will not continue or that they will not deteriorate further. Also, government actions and proposals affecting the terms of underlying home and consumer loans, changes in demand for products (e.g., automobiles) financed by those loans, and the inability of

 



 

borrowers to refinance existing loans (e.g., sub-prime mortgages), have had, and may continue to have, adverse valuation and liquidity effects on asset-backed securities. There can be no assurance that in the future the market for asset-backed securities will become more liquid.

 

The value of an asset-backed security may depend on the servicing of its underlying assets and is, therefore, subject to risks associated with the negligence or defalcation of its servicer. In some circumstances, the mishandling of related documentation also may affect the rights of security holders in and to the underlying collateral. The insolvency of entities that generate receivables or that utilize the assets may result in a decline in the value of the underlying assets, as well as costs and delays.  In addition, asset-backed securities representing diverse sectors (e.g., auto loans, student loans, sub-prime mortgages, and credit-card receivables) have become more highly correlated since the deterioration of worldwide economic and liquidity conditions referred to above.

 

The Fund uses its cash balance to meet its derivative collateral obligations and for other purposes. There is no assurance that the Fund’s cash balance will be sufficient to meet its collateral obligations arising under its derivatives.  If it is not, the Fund would be required to liquidate other positions.  To manage the Fund’s cash collateral needs in the current extraordinary market conditions, the Manager reserves the right to reduce or eliminate the Fund’s derivative exposures, including those that are intended to cause the Fund to track its benchmark more closely. A reduction in those exposures may tend to cause the performance of the Fund to track its benchmark less closely and make the Fund’s performance more dependent on the performance of the asset-backed securities it holds.

 

To address in part the cash management issues described above, the Fund may effect nearly all significant redemptions of its shares in-kind. If redeeming shareholders from the Fund choose to sell assets received in-kind immediately and current adverse market conditions continue, they may experience difficulty selling the assets at favorable prices.  The Fund may establish de minimis amounts below which redemptions may be honored for cash. Amounts available for cash redemptions could be increased and/or redemption fees could be reduced if conditions in the bond market improve. These amounts can and will change without prior notice.

 

Among other trading agreements, the Fund is party to International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreements (“ISDA Agreements”) with select counterparties that generally govern over-the-counter derivative transactions entered into by the Fund. The ISDA Master Agreements typically include representations and warranties as well as contractual terms related to collateral, events of default, termination events, and other provisions. Termination events include the decline in the net assets of the Fund below a certain level over a specified period of time and entitle a counterparty to elect to terminate early with respect to some or all the transactions under the ISDA Agreement with that counterparty. Such an election by one or more of the counterparties could have a material adverse impact on the Fund’s operations.  Due to declines in the net assets of the Fund prior to May 31, 2009, one or more counterparties are  entitled to terminate early but none has taken such action.

 

Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities–Effective March 1, 2009, the Fund adopted FASB Statement of Financial Standards No. 161 “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS 161”). This standard is an amendment to FASB Statement No. 133 (“FASB 133”), “Accounting for Derivative Instruments” which expands the disclosure requirements of FASB 133 regarding an entity’s derivative instruments and hedging activities.

Notes to Schedule of Investments:

 



 

Portfolio valuation

 

The Fund invests substantially all of its assets in GMO Short-Duration Collateral Fund (an arrangement often referred to as a “master-feeder” structure) (“SDCF”) and, to a limited extent, in cash and cash equivalents.

 

Shares of SDCF are generally valued at their net asset value.

 

Investments held by SDCF are valued as follows.  Securities listed on a securities exchange for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price on each business day, or if there is no such reported sale or official closing price, at the most recent quoted bid price, or broker bid (if the private market is more relevant in determining market value than the exchange).  Unlisted securities for which market quotations are readily available are generally valued at the most recent quoted bid price.  Debt instruments with a remaining maturity of sixty days or less are generally valued at amortized cost.  Shares of investment funds are generally valued at their net asset value.  Securities for which quotations are not readily available or whose values the Manager has determined to be unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Trustees or persons acting at their direction pursuant to procedures approved by the Trustees.  Although the goal of fair valuation is to determine the amount the owner of the securities might reasonably expect to receive upon their current sale, because of the uncertainty inherent in fair value pricing, the value determined for a particular security may be materially different than the value realized upon its sale.

 

Typically SDCF values debt instruments based on the most recent bid supplied by a single pricing source chosen by the Manager.  The Manager evaluates pricing sources on an ongoing basis, and may change a pricing source at any time.  The Manager normally does not evaluate the prices supplied by pricing sources on a day-to-day basis.  The Manager monitors erratic or unusual movements (including unusual inactivity) in the prices supplied for a security and has discretion to override a price supplied by a source (e.g., by taking a price supplied by another) when it believes that the price supplied is not reliable. The prices provided by a pricing source may differ from the value that would be realized if the securities were sold, and the differences could be material. In addition, although alternative prices are available for other securities held by the Fund, those alternative sources would not necessarily confirm the security price used by the Fund. Therefore, the existence of those alternative sources does not necessarily provide greater certainty about the prices used by the Fund. As of May 31, 2009, the total value of securities held indirectly for which no alternative pricing source was available represented 19.16% of the net assets of the Fund.

 

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS 157”). While the adoption of SFAS 157 does not have an effect on the Fund’s net asset value, it does require additional disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 establishes a three-level hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements. The valuation hierarchy is based upon the reliability of inputs to the valuation of the Fund’s investments. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.  The three levels are defined as follows:

 

Level 1 – Valuations based on quoted prices for identical securities in active markets.

 

Level 2 – Valuations determined using other significant direct or indirect observable inputs.

Underlying funds are classified above as either level 1 or level 2.  For the underlying fund’s summary of valuation inputs (including level 3 inputs, if any) please refer to SDCF’s portfolio valuation note.  The aggregate absolute value of the Fund’s indirect investments in securities and other financial instruments using level 3 inputs were 97.89% and 0.34% of total net assets, respectively.

 



 

The Fund held no investments or other financial instruments at either February 28, 2009 or May 31, 2009, whose fair value was determined using Level 3 inputs.

 

Investment risks

 

The Fund is indirectly exposed to all of the risks associated with an investment in SDCF, including the risk that SDCF will not perform as expected.  SDCF may invest in foreign securities and asset-backed securities. The Fund is subject to risks involved in investing in foreign securities that are not presented by investments in U.S. securities. These risks may involve adverse political and economic developments, including expropriation and the possible imposition of capital controls or other foreign governmental laws or restrictions. In addition, the securities of some foreign companies and securities markets are less liquid and at times more volatile than securities of comparable U.S. companies and U.S. securities markets. Also, fluctuations in exchange rates may adversely affect the U.S. dollar value of the Fund’s foreign currency holdings and investments denominated in foreign currency.  The risks described above apply to an even greater extent to investments in emerging countries. The securities markets of emerging countries are generally smaller, less developed, less liquid, and more volatile than the securities markets of the U.S. and developed foreign markets. Additionally, the investment risks associated with an investment in the underlying funds may be greater to the extent that the underlying funds engage in derivative transactions.

 

The Fund invests (through SDCF) in asset-backed securities, which may be backed in whole or in part by many types of assets, including pools of residential and commercial mortgages, automobile loans, educational loans, home equity loans, or credit-card receivables, which bring additional types of market risk.  Asset-backed securities also may be collateralized by the fees earned by service providers. They also may be backed by pools of corporate or sovereign bonds, bank loans made to corporations, or a combination of these bonds and loans (commonly referred to as “collateralized debt obligations”). Payment of interest on asset-backed securities and repayment of principal largely depend on the cash flows generated by the underlying assets backing the securities. The amount of market risk associated with asset-backed securities depends on many factors, including the deal structure (e.g., determination as to the amount of underlying assets or other support needed to produce the cash flows necessary to service interest and make principal payments), the quality of the underlying assets, the level of credit support, if any, provided for the securities, and the credit quality of the credit-support provider, if any.  Asset-backed securities involve risk of loss of principal if obligors of the underlying obligations default in payment of the obligations and the defaulted obligations exceed the credit support. The obligations of issuers (and obligors of underlying assets) also are subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, and other laws affecting the rights and remedies of creditors.  Many asset-backed securities are now rated below investment grade.

 

With the deterioration of worldwide economic and liquidity conditions that became acute in 2008, the markets for asset-backed securities became fractured and uncertainty about the creditworthiness of those securities (and underlying collateral) caused credit spreads (the difference between yields on the asset-backed securities and U.S. Government securities) to widen dramatically. Concurrently, systemic risks of the type evidenced by the insolvency of Lehman Brothers and subsequent market disruptions reduced the ability of financial institutions to make markets in many fixed income securities generally. These events reduced liquidity for securitized credits and contributed to substantial declines in the value of asset-backed and other fixed income securities. There can be no assurance these conditions will not continue or that they will not deteriorate further. Also, government actions and proposals affecting the terms of underlying home and consumer loans, changes in demand for products (e.g., automobiles) financed by those loans, and the inability of borrowers to refinance existing loans (e.g., sub-prime mortgages), have had, and may continue to have, adverse valuation and liquidity effects on asset-backed securities. There can be no assurance that in the future the market for asset-backed securities will become more liquid.

 

The value of an asset-backed security may depend on the servicing of its underlying assets and is, therefore, subject to risks associated with the negligence or defalcation of its servicer. In some circumstances, the mishandling of related documentation also may affect the rights of security holders in and to the underlying collateral. The insolvency of entities that generate receivables or that utilize the assets may result in a decline in the value of the underlying assets, as well as costs and delays.  In addition, asset-backed securities representing diverse sectors (e.g., auto loans, student loans, sub-prime mortgages, and credit-card receivables) have become more highly correlated since the deterioration of worldwide economic and liquidity conditions referred to above.

 

Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities–Effective March 1, 2009, the Fund adopted FASB Statement of Financial Standards No. 161 “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS 161”). This standard is an amendment to FASB Statement No. 133 (“FASB 133”), which expands the disclosure requirements of FASB 133 regarding an entity’s derivative instruments and hedging activities.

 

The Fund adopted SFAS 161 on March 1, 2009.  As of May 31, 2009, the Fund held no derivative contracts for the purposes of SFAS 161.

Portfolio valuation

 

Securities listed on a securities exchange for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price on each business day, or if there is no such reported sale or official closing price, at the most recent quoted bid price, or broker bid (if the private market is more relevant in determining market value than the exchange).  Unlisted securities for which market quotations are readily available are generally valued at the most recent quoted bid price.  Debt instruments with a remaining maturity of sixty days or less are generally valued at amortized cost.  Shares of investment funds are generally valued at their net asset value.  Securities for which quotations are not readily available or whose values the Manager has determined to be unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Trustees or persons acting at their direction pursuant to procedures approved by the Trustees.  Although the goal of fair valuation is to determine the amount the owner of the securities might reasonably expect to receive upon their current sale, because of the uncertainty inherent in fair value pricing, the value determined for a particular security may be materially different than the value realized upon its sale. For information about the pricing of some specific positions (e.g. swaps) see descriptions below.

 

Typically the Fund and the underlying funds value debt instruments based on the most recent bid supplied by a single pricing source chosen by the Manager.  The Manager evaluates pricing sources on an ongoing basis, and may change a pricing source at any time.  The Manager normally does not evaluate the prices supplied by pricing sources on a day-to-day basis.  The Manager monitors erratic or unusual movements (including unusual inactivity) in the prices supplied for a security and has discretion to override a price supplied by a source (e.g., by taking a price supplied by another) when it believes that the price supplied is not reliable.  The prices provided by a pricing source may differ from the value that would be realized if the securities were sold, and the differences could be material. In addition, although alternative prices are available for other securities held by the Fund, those alternative sources would not necessarily confirm the security price used by the Fund. Therefore, the existence of those alternative sources does not necessarily provide greater certainty about the prices used by the Fund.  As of May 31, 2009, the total value of securities held directly and indirectly for which no alternative pricing source was available represented 11.17% of the net assets of the Fund.

 

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS 157”). While the adoption of SFAS 157 does not have an effect on the Fund’s net asset value, it does require additional disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 establishes a three-level hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements. The valuation hierarchy is based upon the reliability of inputs to the valuation of the Fund’s investments. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.  The three levels are defined as follows:

 

Level 1 – Valuations based on quoted prices for identical securities in active markets.

 

Level 2 – Valuations determined using other significant direct or indirect observable inputs.

 

Level 3 – Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant. The Fund utilized the following fair value techniques on Level 3 investments: The Fund valued debt securities using a specified spread above the LIBOR rate.  The Fund also considered certain bankrupt securities to be worthless.

Indexed securities

 

The Fund may invest in indexed securities.  Indexed securities are securities whose values and/or coupons are linked to the prices of a specific instrument, group of instruments or financial statistic.

 

Investment risks

 

The Fund is subject to risks involved in investing in foreign securities that are not presented by investments in U.S. securities. These risks may involve adverse political and economic developments, including expropriation and the possible imposition of capital controls or other foreign governmental laws or restrictions. In addition, the securities of some foreign companies and securities markets are less liquid and at times may be more volatile than securities of comparable U.S. companies and U.S. securities markets. Also, fluctuations in exchange rates may adversely affect the U.S. dollar value of the Fund’s foreign currency holdings and investments denominated in foreign currency.  The risks described above apply to an even greater extent to investments in emerging countries. The securities markets of emerging countries are generally smaller, less developed, less liquid, and more volatile than the securities markets of the U.S. and developed foreign markets.  Additionally, the investment risks associated with an investment in the underlying funds may be greater to the extent that the underlying funds engage in derivative transactions.

 

The Fund invests (including through investment in underlying funds) in asset-backed securities, which may be backed in whole or in part by many types of assets, including pools of residential and commercial mortgages, automobile loans, educational loans, home equity loans, or credit-card receivables, which bring additional types of market risk.  Asset-backed securities also may be collateralized by the fees earned by service providers. They also may be backed by pools of corporate or sovereign bonds, bank loans made to corporations, or a combination of these bonds and loans (commonly referred to as “collateralized debt obligations”). Payment of interest on asset-backed securities and repayment of principal largely depend on the cash flows generated by the underlying assets backing the securities. The amount of market risk associated with asset-backed securities depends on many factors, including the deal structure (e.g., determination as to the amount of underlying assets or other support needed to produce the cash flows necessary to service interest and make principal payments), the quality of the underlying assets, the level of credit support, if any, provided for the securities, and the credit quality of the credit-support provider, if any.  Asset-backed securities involve risk of loss of principal if obligors of the underlying obligations default in payment of the obligations and the defaulted obligations exceed the credit support. The obligations of issuers (and obligors of underlying assets) also are subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, and other laws affecting the rights and remedies of creditors.  Many asset-backed securities are now rated below investment grade.

 

With the deterioration of worldwide economic and liquidity conditions that became acute in 2008, the markets for asset-backed securities became fractured and uncertainty about the creditworthiness of those securities (and underlying collateral) caused credit spreads (the difference between yields on the asset-backed securities and U.S. Government securities) to widen dramatically. Concurrently, systemic risks of the type evidenced by the insolvency of Lehman Brothers and subsequent market disruptions reduced the ability of financial institutions to make markets in many fixed income securities generally.  These events reduced liquidity for securitized credits and contributed to substantial declines in the value of asset-backed and other fixed income securities. There can be no assurance these conditions will not continue or that they will not deteriorate further. Also, government actions and proposals affecting the terms of underlying home and consumer loans, changes in demand for products (e.g., automobiles) financed by those loans, and the inability of borrowers to refinance existing loans (e.g., sub-prime mortgages), have had, and may continue to have, adverse valuation and liquidity effects on asset-backed securities. There can be no assurance that in the future the market for asset-backed securities will become more liquid.

 



 

The value of an asset-backed security may depend on the servicing of its underlying assets and is, therefore, subject to risks associated with the negligence or defalcation of its servicer. In some circumstances, the mishandling of related documentation also may affect the rights of security holders in and to the underlying collateral. The insolvency of entities that generate receivables or that utilize the assets may result in a decline in the value of the underlying assets, as well as costs and delays.  In addition, asset-backed securities representing diverse sectors (e.g., auto loans, student loans, sub-prime mortgages, and credit-card receivables) have become more highly correlated since the deterioration of worldwide economic and liquidity conditions referred to above.

 

The Fund uses its cash balance to meet its derivative collateral obligations and for other purposes. There is no assurance that the Fund’s cash balance will be sufficient to meet its collateral obligations arising under its derivatives.  If it is not, the Fund would be required to liquidate other positions. That may include redeeming shares of GMO Short Duration Collateral Fund (“SDCF”), in which case the Fund would receive redemption proceeds in-kind from SDCF and would then be required to dispose of those assets (mostly asset-backed securities) in the current adverse market conditions.  To manage the Fund’s cash collateral needs in the current extraordinary market conditions, the Manager reserves the right to reduce or eliminate the Fund’s derivative exposures, including those that are intended to cause the Fund to track its benchmark more closely. A reduction in those exposures may tend to cause the performance of the Fund to track its benchmark less closely and make the Fund’s performance more dependent on the performance of the asset-backed securities it holds directly or indirectly.

 

To address in part the cash management issues described above, the Fund may effect nearly all significant redemptions of its shares in-kind. If redeeming shareholders from the Fund choose to sell assets received in-kind immediately and current adverse market conditions continue, they may experience difficulty selling the assets at favorable prices.  The Fund may establish de minimis amounts below which redemptions may be honored for cash. Amounts available for cash redemptions could be increased and/or redemption fees could be reduced if conditions in the bond market improve. These amounts can and will change without prior notice.

 

Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities–Effective March 1, 2009, the Fund adopted FASB Statement of Financial Standards No. 161 “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS 161”). This standard is an amendment to FASB Statement No. 133 (“FASB 133”), which expands the disclosure requirements of FASB 133 regarding an entity’s derivative instruments and hedging activities.

 

The Fund adopted SFAS 161 on March 1, 2009.  As of May 31, 2009, the Fund held no derivative contracts for the purposes of SFAS 161.

Portfolio valuation

 

Securities listed on a securities exchange for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price on each business day, or if there is no such reported sale or official closing price, at the most recent quoted bid price, or broker bid (if the private market is more relevant in determining market value than the exchange).  Unlisted securities for which market quotations are readily available are generally valued at the most recent quoted bid price.  Debt instruments with a remaining maturity of sixty days or less are generally valued at amortized cost.  Shares of investment funds are generally valued at their net asset value.  Securities for which quotations are not readily available or whose values the Manager has determined to be unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Trustees or persons acting at their direction pursuant to procedures approved by the Trustees.  Although the goal of fair valuation is to determine the amount the owner of the securities might reasonably expect to receive upon their current sale, because of the uncertainty inherent in fair value pricing, the value determined for a particular security may be materially different than the value realized upon its sale.  For information about the pricing of some specific positions (e.g. swaps) see descriptions below.

 

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS 157”). While the adoption of SFAS 157 does not have an effect on the Fund’s net asset value, it does require additional disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 establishes a three-level hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements. The valuation hierarchy is based upon the reliability of inputs to the valuation of the Fund’s investments. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.  The three levels are defined as follows:

 

Level 1 – Valuations based on quoted prices for identical securities in active markets.

 

Level 2 – Valuations determined using other significant direct or indirect observable inputs.

 

Level 3 – Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant.

 

The following is a summary of the categorization of investments by inputs used as of May 31, 2009 in valuing the Fund’s investments:

The Fund held no investments or other financial instruments at either February 28, 2009 or May 31, 2009, whose fair value was determined using Level 3 inputs.

 

Foreign currency translation

 

The market values of foreign securities, currency holdings and related assets and liabilities are translated to U.S. dollars based on the 4 p.m. New York time exchange rates each business day.  Income and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the 4 p.m. New York time exchange rates on the business day the income and expenses are accrued or incurred.  The Fund does not isolate realized and unrealized gains and losses attributable to changes in exchange rates from gains and losses that arise from changes in the market value of investments.  Such fluctuations are included with net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments.  Net realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions represent gains and losses on disposition of currencies and forward currency contracts, currency gains and losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amount of investment

 



 

income and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s accounting records and the U.S. dollar equivalent amounts actually received or paid.

 

Forward currency contracts

 

The Fund may enter into forward currency contracts, including forward cross currency contracts.  A forward currency contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell a currency at a set price on a future date (or to pay or receive the amounts of the change in relative values of the two currencies).  The market value of a forward currency contract fluctuates with changes in forward currency exchange rates.  Forward currency contracts are marked to market daily using rates supplied by a quotation service and changes in value are recorded by the Fund as unrealized gains or losses.  Realized gains or losses on the contracts are 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.  These contracts involve market risk in excess of the unrealized gain or loss.  They expose the Fund to the risk of unfavorable movements in currency values and the risk that the counterparty will be unable or unwilling to meet the terms of the contracts.

 

Futures contracts

 

The Fund may purchase and sell futures contracts.  A futures contract is a contract that obligates the holder to buy or sell an asset at a predetermined delivery price during a specified future time period.  Some futures contracts are net (cash) settled. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to deposit cash, U.S. government and agency obligations, or other liquid assets with the futures clearing broker in accordance with the initial margin requirements of the broker or exchange.  Futures contracts are marked to market daily and an appropriate payable or receivable for the change in value (“variation margin”) is recorded by the Fund.  The payable or receivable is settled on the following business day.  Gains or losses are recognized but not considered realized until the contracts expire or are closed.  Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of the variation margin.  Under some circumstances, futures exchanges may establish daily limits on the amount that the price of a futures contract can vary from the previous day’s settlement price, thereby effectively preventing liquidation of unfavorable positions.  Losses may arise from changes in the value of the underlying instrument if the Fund is unable to liquidate a futures position due to an illiquid market for the contract, the imposition of price limits or the failure of counterparty to perform under the contract terms.  Futures contracts are generally valued at the settlement price established at the close of business each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded.

 

Options

 

The Fund may purchase put and call options.  A call option gives the holder the right to buy an asset; a put option gives the holder the right to sell an asset.  Purchasing options alters the Fund’s exposure to the underlying instrument by, in the case of a call option, entitling the Fund to purchase the underlying instrument at a set price from the writer of the option and, in the case of a put option, entitling the Fund to sell the underlying instrument at a set price to the writer of the option.  The Fund pays a premium for a purchased option.  That premium is disclosed in the Schedule of Investments and is subsequently marked to market to reflect the current value of the option.  Premiums paid for options that expire are treated as realized losses.  Premiums paid for options that are exercised or closed are deducted from the proceeds of the closing transaction to determine the realized gain or loss.  The risk associated with purchasing put and call options is limited to the premium paid.

 

The Fund may write (i.e., sell) call and put options.   Writing options alters the Fund’s exposure to the underlying instrument by, in the case of a call option, obligating the Fund to sell the underlying instrument at a set price to the option-holder and, in the case of a put option, obligating the Fund to purchase the underlying instrument at a set price from the option-holder. In some cases (e.g. index options), settlement will be in cash. When the Fund writes a call or put option, an amount equal to the premium received is recorded as a liability and subsequently marked to market to reflect the current value of the option written.  Premiums received from writing options that expire are treated as realized gains.  Premiums received from writing options that are exercised or closed are deducted from the amounts paid on the underlying future, security or currency transaction to determine the realized gain or loss.  The Fund as a writer of an option has no control over whether the underlying future, security or currency may be sold (call) or purchased (put) and as a result bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the future, security or currency underlying the option.  In the event that the Fund writes call or put options without an offsetting exposure (e.g. call options on a security that the Fund does not own), it bears the risk of substantial losses if the price of the underlying asset increases (calls) or decreases (puts) during the term of the option.  Options expose the Fund to the risk the Fund may not be able to enter into a closing transaction because of an illiquid market.

The Fund values exchange traded options at the last sale price, or if no sale is reported, the last bid price for options it has purchased and the last ask price for options it has written.  The Fund values options traded over-the-counter using inputs provided by primary pricing sources and industry models.

 

Indexed securities

 

The Fund may invest in indexed securities.  Indexed securities are securities whose values and/or coupons are linked to the prices of a specific instrument, group of instruments or financial statistic.

 

Swap agreements

 

The Fund may enter into various types of swap agreements, including without limitation, swaps on securities and securities indicies, interest rate swaps, total return swaps, credit default swaps, variance swaps, commodity swaps, inflation swaps and other types of available swaps.  A swap agreement is an agreement to exchange the return generated by one instrument for the return generated by another instrument.  Some swap contracts are net settled. When entering into a swap agreement, the Fund and/or the swap counterparty may post or receive cash or securities as collateral and will typically post or receive additional collateral as market values change.

 

Interest rate swap agreements involve an exchange by the parties of their respective commitments to pay or right to receive interest, e.g., an exchange of floating rate interest payments for fixed rate interest payments with respect to the notional amount of principal.

 

Total return swap agreements involve a commitment by one party to pay interest to the other party in exchange for a payment to it from the other party based on the return of a reference instrument (e.g., a security or basket of securities), both based on notional amounts. To the extent the return of the reference instrument exceeds or falls short of the interest payments, one party will receive a payment from or make a payment to the other party.

 

In a credit default swap agreement, one party makes payments to another party in exchange for the right to receive a specified return if a credit event occurs with respect to a referenced entity or entities.  Buying credit default protection reduces the buyer’s exposure (or increases negative exposure) in the event of an issuer’s default (e.g., it is intended to reduce risk where a party owns a security issued by or otherwise has exposure to the issuer).  Selling credit default protection subjects the seller to exposure to an issuer’s default or other credit events.  A seller of credit default protection receives payments in return for its obligation to pay the principal amount of a debt security (or other agreed-upon value) to the other party upon the occurrence of a credit event (e.g., issuer default or similar event).  If no credit event occurs, the seller has no payment obligations.    For credit default swap agreements on asset-backed securities, a credit event may be triggered by various events, which may include an issuer’s failure to pay interest or principal, a breach of a material representation or covenant, an agreement by the holders of an asset-backed security to a maturity extension, or a write-down on the collateral underlying the security. For credit default swap agreements on corporate or sovereign issuers, a credit event may be triggered by such events as the issuer’s bankruptcy, failure to pay interest or principal, repudiation/moratorium or restructuring.

 

Variance swap agreements involve an agreement by two parties to exchange cash flows based on the measured variance (or square of volatility) of a specified underlying asset. One party agrees to exchange a “fixed rate” or strike price payment for the “floating rate” or realized price variance on the underlying asset with respect to the notional amount. At inception, the strike price chosen is generally fixed at a level such that the fair value of the swap is zero. As a result, no money changes hands at the initiation of the contract. At the expiration date, the amount paid by one party to the other is the difference between the realized price variance of the underlying asset and the strike price multiplied by the notional amount. A receiver of the realized price variance would receive a payment when the realized price variance of the underlying asset is greater than the strike price and would make a payment when that variance is less than the strike price. A payer of the realized price variance would make a payment when the realized price variance of the underlying asset is greater than the strike price and would receive a payment when that variance is less than the strike price. This type of agreement is essentially a forward contract on the future realized price variance of the underlying asset.

 

The Fund prices its swap agreements daily using models that may incorporate quotations from market makers and records the change in value, if any, as unrealized gain or loss.  Payments received or made on swap agreements are recorded as realized gain or loss.  Gains or losses are realized upon termination of the swap agreements, or reset dates as appropriate.

 



 

Swap agreements generally are not traded on financial markets. The values assigned to them may differ significantly from the values that would be realized upon termination, and the differences could be material. Entering into swap agreements involves counterparty credit, legal, and documentation risk that is generally not reflected in the models used to price the swap agreement.  Such risks include the possibility that the party with whom the Fund contracts may default on its obligations to perform or disagree as to the meaning of contractual terms, that the Fund has amounts on deposit in excess of amounts owed by the Fund, or that the collateral the other party posts may be insufficient or not timely received by the Fund.  Specifically, the amount shown as owed to the Fund under a swap agreement is not reduced if there is uncertainty about the counterparty’s willingness or ability to pay. Credit risk is particularly acute in economic environments in which financial services firms are exposed to systemic risks of the type evidenced by the insolvency of Lehman Brothers in 2008 and subsequent market disruptions.

 

Reverse repurchase agreements

 

The Fund may enter into reverse repurchase agreements.  Under a reverse repurchase agreement the Fund sells portfolio assets subject to an agreement by the Fund to repurchase the same assets at a later date at a fixed price.  Also, if the buyer in a reverse repurchase agreement files for bankruptcy or becomes insolvent, the Fund may be unable to recover the securities it sold and as a result would realize a loss equal to the difference between the value of the securities and the payment it received for them.  This loss would be greater to the extent the buyer paid less than the value of the securities the Fund sold to it (e.g., a buyer may pay $95 for a bond with a market value of $100).  The Fund’s use of proceeds from the sale of its securities may be restricted while the other party or its trustee or receiver determines whether to honor the Fund’s right to repurchase the securities.

 

Investment risks

 

The Fund is subject to risks involved in investing in foreign securities that are not presented by investments in U.S. securities. These risks may involve adverse political and economic developments, including expropriation and the possible imposition of capital controls or other foreign governmental laws or restrictions. In addition, the securities of some foreign companies and securities markets are less liquid and at times may be more volatile than securities of comparable U.S. companies and U.S. securities markets.

 

Among other trading agreements, the Fund is party to International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreements (“ISDA Agreements”) with select counterparties that generally govern over-the-counter derivative transactions entered into by the Fund. The ISDA Master Agreements typically include representations and warranties as well as contractual terms related to collateral, events of default, termination events, and other provisions. Termination events include the decline in the net assets of the Fund below a certain level over a specified period of time and entitle a counterparty to elect to terminate early with respect to some or all the transactions under the ISDA Agreement with that counterparty. Such an election by one or more of the counterparties could have a material adverse impact on the Fund’s operations.  Due to declines in the net assets of the Fund prior to May 31, 2009, one or more counterparties are  entitled to terminate early but none has taken such action.

 

Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities–Effective March 1, 2009, the Fund adopted FASB Statement of Financial Standards No. 161 “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS 161”). This standard is an amendment to FASB Statement No. 133 (“FASB 133”), “Accounting for Derivative Instruments” which expands the disclosure requirements of FASB 133 regarding an entity’s derivative instruments and hedging activities.

^^ As the Fund values its derivatives at fair value and recognizes changes in fair value through the statement of operations, it does not qualify for hedge accounting under FASB 133. The Fund’s investments in derivatives may represent an economic hedge; however, they are considered to be non-hedge transactions for the purpose of SFAS 161 disclosure.

Portfolio valuation

 

Securities listed on a securities exchange for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price on each business day, or if there is no such reported sale or official closing price, at the most recent quoted bid price, or broker bid (if the private market is more relevant in determining market value than the exchange). Unlisted securities for which market quotations are readily available are generally valued at the most recent quoted bid price. Debt instruments with a remaining maturity of sixty days or less are generally valued at amortized cost. Shares of investment funds are generally valued at their net asset value. Securities for which quotations are not readily available or whose values the Manager has determined to be unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Trustees or persons acting at their direction pursuant to procedures approved by the Trustees. Although the goal of fair valuation is to determine the amount the owner of the securities might reasonably expect to receive upon their current sale, because of the uncertainty inherent in fair value pricing, the value determined for a particular security may be materially different than the value realized upon its sale. For information about the pricing of some specific positions (e.g. swaps) see descriptions below.

 

Typically the Fund and the underlying funds value debt instruments based on the most recent bid supplied by a single pricing source chosen by the Manager. The Manager evaluates pricing sources on an ongoing basis, and may change a pricing source at any time. The Manager normally does not evaluate the prices supplied by pricing sources on a day-to-day basis. The Manager monitors erratic or unusual movements (including unusual inactivity) in the prices supplied for a security and has discretion to override a price supplied by a source (e.g., by taking a price supplied by another) when it believes that the price supplied is not reliable. The prices provided by a pricing source may differ from the value that would be realized if the securities were sold, and the differences could be material. In addition, although alternative prices are available for other securities held by the Fund, those alternative sources would not necessarily confirm the security price used by the Fund. Therefore, the existence of those alternative sources does not necessarily provide greater certainty about the prices used by the Fund. As of May 31, 2009, the total value of securities held directly and indirectly for which no alternative pricing source was available represented 17.96% of the net assets of the Fund.

 

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS 157”). While the adoption of SFAS 157 does not have an effect on the Fund’s net asset value, it does require additional disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 establishes a three-level hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements. The valuation hierarchy is based upon the reliability of inputs to the valuation of the Fund’s investments. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. The three levels are defined as follows:

 

Level 1 – Valuations based on quoted prices for identical securities in active markets.

 

Level 2 – Valuations determined using other significant direct or indirect observable inputs.

 

Level 3 – Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant.

 

The following is a summary of the categorization of investments by inputs used as of May 31, 2009 in valuing the Fund’s investments:

Underlying funds are classified above as either level 1 or level 2. For the underlying funds’ summary of valuation inputs (including level 3 inputs, if any) please refer to the respective fund’s portfolio valuation note. The aggregate absolute value of the Fund’s indirect investments in securities and other financial instruments using level 3 inputs were 86.36% and 0.25% of total net assets, respectively.

 



 

The Fund held no investments or other financial instruments at either February 28, 2009 or May 31, 2009, whose fair value was determined using Level 3 inputs.

 

Foreign currency translation

 

The market values of foreign securities, currency holdings and related assets and liabilities are translated to U.S. dollars based on the 4 p.m. New York time exchange rates each business day.  Income and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the 4 p.m. New York time exchange rates on the business day the income and expenses are accrued or incurred.  The Fund does not isolate realized and unrealized gains and losses attributable to changes in exchange rates from gains and losses that arise from changes in the market value of investments.  Such fluctuations are included with net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments.  Net realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions represent gains and losses on disposition of currencies and forward currency contracts, currency gains and losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amount of investment income and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s accounting records and the U.S. dollar equivalent amounts actually received or paid.

 

Forward currency contracts

 

The Fund may enter into forward currency contracts, including forward cross currency contracts.  A forward currency contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell a currency at a set price on a future date (or to pay or receive the amounts of the change in relative values of the two currencies).  The market value of a forward currency contract fluctuates with changes in forward currency exchange rates.  Forward currency contracts are marked to market daily using rates supplied by a quotation service and changes in value are recorded by the Fund as unrealized gains or losses.  Realized gains or losses on the contracts are 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.  These contracts involve market risk in excess of the unrealized gain or loss.  They expose the Fund to the risk of unfavorable movements in currency values and the risk that the counterparty will be unable or unwilling to meet the terms of the contracts.

 

Futures contracts

 

The Fund may purchase and sell futures contracts.  A futures contract is a contract that obligates the holder to buy or sell an asset at a predetermined delivery price during a specified future time period.  Some futures contracts are net (cash) settled. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to deposit cash, U.S. government and agency obligations, or other liquid assets with the futures clearing broker in accordance with the initial margin requirements of the broker or exchange.  Futures contracts are marked to market daily and an appropriate payable or receivable for the change in value (“variation margin”) is recorded by the Fund.  The payable or receivable is settled on the following business day.  Gains or losses are recognized but not considered realized until the contracts expire or are closed.  Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of the variation margin.  Under some circumstances, futures exchanges may establish daily limits on the amount that the price of a futures contract can vary from the previous day’s settlement price, thereby effectively preventing liquidation of unfavorable positions.  Losses may arise from changes in the value of the underlying instrument if the Fund is unable to liquidate a futures position due to an illiquid market for the contract, the imposition of price limits or the failure of counterparty to perform under the contract terms.  Futures contracts are generally valued at the settlement price established at the close of business each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded.

 

Options

 

The Fund may purchase put and call options.  A call option gives the holder the right to buy an asset; a put option gives the holder the right to sell an asset.  Purchasing options alters the Fund’s exposure to the underlying instrument by, in the case of a call option, entitling the Fund to purchase the underlying instrument at a set price from the writer of the option and, in the case of a put option, entitling the Fund to sell the underlying instrument at a set price to the writer of the option.  The Fund pays a premium for a purchased option.  That premium is disclosed in the Schedule of Investments and is subsequently marked to market to reflect the current value of the option.  Premiums paid for options that expire are treated as realized losses.  Premiums paid for options that are exercised or closed are deducted from the proceeds of the closing transaction to determine the realized gain or loss.  The risk associated with purchasing put and call options is limited to the premium paid.

 

The Fund may write (i.e., sell) call and put options.  Writing options alters the Fund’s exposure to the underlying instrument by, in the case of a call option, obligating the Fund to sell the underlying instrument at a set price to the option-holder and, in the case of a put option, obligating the Fund to purchase the underlying instrument at a set price from the option-holder. In some cases (e.g. index options), settlement will be in cash. When the Fund writes a call or put option, an amount equal to the premium received is recorded as a liability and subsequently marked to market to reflect the current value of the option written.  Premiums received from writing options that expire are treated as realized gains.  Premiums received from writing options that are exercised or closed are deducted from the amounts paid on the underlying future, security or currency transaction to determine the realized gain or loss.  The Fund as a writer of an option has no control over whether the underlying future, security or currency may be sold (call) or purchased (put) and as a result bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the future, security or currency underlying the option.  In the event that the Fund writes call or put

 



 

options without an offsetting exposure (e.g. call options on a security that the Fund does not own), it bears the risk of substantial losses if the price of the underlying asset increases (calls) or decreases (puts) during the term of the option.  Options expose the Fund to the risk the Fund may not be able to enter into a closing transaction because of an illiquid market.

Loan agreements

 

The Fund may invest in loans to corporate, governmental, or other borrowers. The Fund’s investments in loans may be in the form of participations in loans or assignments of all or a portion of loans from third parties.  A loan is often administered by a bank or other financial institution (the “lender”) that acts as agent for all holders. The agent administers the terms of the loan, as specified in the loan agreement.  When investing in a loan participation, (i) the Fund has the right to receive payments of principal, interest and any fees to which it is entitled only from the lender selling the participation in the loan agreement and only upon receipt by the lender of payments from the borrower and (ii) the Fund generally has no right to enforce compliance by the borrower with the terms of the loan agreement. As a result, the Fund may be subject to the credit risk of both the borrower and the lender that has sold the participation in the loan agreement.  When the Fund purchases assignments from lenders, it acquires direct rights against the borrower on the loan.

 

Indexed securities

 

The Fund may invest in indexed securities.  Indexed securities are securities whose values and/or coupons are linked to the prices of a specific instrument, group of instruments or financial statistic.

 

Swap agreements

 

The Fund may enter into various types of swap agreements, including without limitation, swaps on securities and securities indices, interest rate swaps, total return swaps, credit default swaps, variance swaps, commodity swaps, inflation swaps and other types of available swaps.  A swap agreement is an agreement to exchange the return generated by one instrument for the return generated by another instrument.  Some swap contracts are net settled. When entering into a swap agreement, the Fund and/or the swap counterparty may post or receive cash or securities as collateral and will typically post or receive additional collateral as market values change.

 

Interest rate swap agreements involve an exchange by the parties of their respective commitments to pay or right to receive interest, e.g., an exchange of floating rate interest payments for fixed rate interest payments with respect to the notional amount of principal.

 

Total return swap agreements involve a commitment by one party to pay interest to the other party in exchange for a payment to it from the other party based on the return of a reference instrument (e.g., a security or basket of securities), both based on notional amounts. To the extent the return of the reference instrument exceeds or falls short of the interest payments, one party will receive a payment from or make a payment to the other party.

 

In a credit default swap agreement, one party makes payments to another party in exchange for the right to receive a specified return if a credit event occurs with respect to a referenced entity or entities.  Buying credit default protection reduces the buyer’s exposure (or increases negative exposure) in the event of an issuer’s default (e.g., it is intended to reduce risk where a party owns a security issued by or otherwise has exposure to the issuer).  Selling credit default protection subjects the seller to exposure to an issuer’s default or other credit events.  A seller of credit default protection receives payments in return for its obligation to pay the principal amount of a debt security (or other agreed-upon value) to the other party upon the occurrence of a credit event (e.g., issuer default or similar event).  If no credit event

 



 

occurs, the seller has no payment obligations.  For credit default swap agreements on asset-backed securities, a credit event may be triggered by various events, which may include an issuer’s failure to pay interest or principal, a breach of a material representation or covenant, an agreement by the holders of an asset-backed security to a maturity extension, or a write-down on the collateral underlying the security. For credit default swap agreements on corporate or sovereign issuers, a credit event may be triggered by such events as the issuer’s bankruptcy, failure to pay interest or principal, repudiation/moratorium or restructuring.

 

Variance swap agreements involve an agreement by two parties to exchange cash flows based on the measured variance (or square of volatility) of a specified underlying asset. One party agrees to exchange a “fixed rate” or strike price payment for the “floating rate” or realized price variance on the underlying asset with respect to the notional amount. At inception, the strike price chosen is generally fixed at a level such that the fair value of the swap is zero. As a result, no money changes hands at the initiation of the contract. At the expiration date, the amount paid by one party to the other is the difference between the realized price variance of the underlying asset and the strike price multiplied by the notional amount. A receiver of the realized price variance would receive a payment when the realized price variance of the underlying asset is greater than the strike price and would make a payment when that variance is less than the strike price. A payer of the realized price variance would make a payment when the realized price variance of the underlying asset is greater than the strike price and would receive a payment when that variance is less than the strike price. This type of agreement is essentially a forward contract on the future realized price variance of the underlying asset.

 

The Fund prices its swap agreements daily using models that may incorporate quotations from market makers and records the change in value, if any, as unrealized gain or loss.  Payments received or made on swap agreements are recorded as realized gain or loss.  Gains or losses are realized upon termination of the swap agreements, or reset dates as appropriate.

 

Swap agreements generally are not traded on financial markets. The values assigned to them may differ significantly from the values that would be realized upon termination, and the differences could be material. Entering into swap agreements involves counterparty credit, legal, and documentation risk that is generally not reflected in the models used to price the swap agreement.  Such risks include the possibility that the party with whom the Fund contracts may default on its obligations to perform or disagree as to the meaning of contractual terms, that the Fund has amounts on deposit in excess of amounts owed by the Fund, or that the collateral the other party posts may be insufficient or not timely received by the Fund.  Specifically, the amount shown as owed to the Fund under a swap agreement is not reduced if there is uncertainty about the counterparty’s willingness or ability to pay. Credit risk is particularly acute in economic environments in which financial services firms are exposed to systemic risks of the type evidenced by the insolvency of Lehman Brothers in 2008 and subsequent market disruptions.

 

Reverse repurchase agreements

 

The Fund may enter into reverse repurchase agreements.  Under a reverse repurchase agreement the Fund sells portfolio assets subject to an agreement by the Fund to repurchase the same assets at a later date at a fixed price.  Also, if the buyer in a reverse repurchase agreement files for bankruptcy or becomes insolvent, the Fund may be unable to recover the securities it sold and as a result would realize a loss equal to the difference between the value of the securities and the payment it received for them.  This loss would be greater to the extent the buyer paid less than the value of the securities the Fund sold to it (e.g., a buyer may pay $95 for a bond with a market value of $100).  The Fund’s use of proceeds from the sale of its securities may be restricted while the other party or its trustee or receiver determines whether to honor the Fund’s right to repurchase the securities.

 

Investment risks

 

The Fund is subject to risks involved in investing in foreign securities that are not presented by investments in U.S. securities. These risks may involve adverse political and economic developments, including expropriation and the possible imposition of capital controls or other foreign governmental laws or restrictions. In addition, the securities of some foreign companies and securities markets are less liquid and at times may be more volatile than securities of comparable U.S. companies and U.S. securities markets. Also, fluctuations in exchange rates may adversely affect the U.S. dollar value of the Fund’s foreign currency holdings and investments denominated in foreign currency.  The risks described above apply to an even greater extent to investments in emerging countries. The securities markets of emerging countries are generally smaller, less developed, less liquid, and more volatile than the securities markets of the U.S. and developed foreign markets.  Additionally, the investment risks associated with an investment in the underlying funds may be greater to the extent that the underlying funds engage in derivative transactions.

 

The Fund invests (including through investment in underlying funds) in asset-backed securities, which may be backed in whole or in part by many types of assets, including pools of residential and commercial mortgages, automobile loans, educational loans, home equity loans, or credit-card receivables, which bring additional types of market risk.  Asset-backed securities also may be collateralized by the fees earned by service providers. They also may be backed by pools of corporate or sovereign bonds, bank loans made to corporations, or a combination of these bonds and loans (commonly referred to as “collateralized debt obligations”). Payment of interest on asset-backed securities and repayment of principal largely depend on the cash flows generated by the underlying assets backing the securities. The amount of market risk associated with asset-backed securities depends on many factors, including the deal structure (e.g., determination as to the amount of underlying assets or other support needed to produce the cash flows necessary to service interest and make principal

 



 

payments), the quality of the underlying assets, the level of credit support, if any, provided for the securities, and the credit quality of the credit-support provider, if any.  Asset-backed securities involve risk of loss of principal if obligors of the underlying obligations default in payment of the obligations and the defaulted obligations exceed the credit support. The obligations of issuers (and obligors of underlying assets) also are subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, and other laws affecting the rights and remedies of creditors.  Many asset-backed securities are now rated below investment grade.

 

With the deterioration of worldwide economic and liquidity conditions that became acute in 2008, the markets for asset-backed securities became fractured and uncertainty about the creditworthiness of those securities (and underlying collateral) caused credit spreads (the difference between yields on the asset-backed securities and U.S. Government securities) to widen dramatically. Concurrently, systemic risks of the type evidenced by the insolvency of Lehman Brothers and subsequent market disruptions reduced the ability of financial institutions to make markets in many fixed income securities generally.  These events reduced liquidity for securitized credits and contributed to substantial declines in the value of asset-backed and other fixed income securities. There can be no assurance these conditions will not continue or that they will not deteriorate further. Also, government actions and proposals affecting the terms of underlying home and consumer loans, changes in demand for products (e.g., automobiles) financed by those loans, and the inability of borrowers to refinance existing loans (e.g., sub-prime mortgages), have had, and may continue to have, adverse valuation and liquidity effects on asset-backed securities. There can be no assurance that in the future the market for asset-backed securities will become more liquid.

 

The value of an asset-backed security may depend on the servicing of its underlying assets and is, therefore, subject to risks associated with the negligence or defalcation of its servicer. In some circumstances, the mishandling of related documentation also may affect the rights of security holders in and to the underlying collateral. The insolvency of entities that generate receivables or that utilize the assets may result in a decline in the value of the underlying assets, as well as costs and delays.  In addition, asset-backed securities representing diverse sectors (e.g., auto loans, student loans, sub-prime mortgages, and credit-card receivables) have become more highly correlated since the deterioration of worldwide economic and liquidity conditions referred to above.

 

The Fund uses its cash balance to meet its derivative collateral obligations and for other purposes. There is no assurance that the Fund’s cash balance will be sufficient to meet its collateral obligations arising under its derivatives.  If it is not, the Fund would be required to liquidate other positions. That may include redeeming shares of GMO Short Duration Collateral Fund (“SDCF”) and/or GMO World Opportunity Overlay Fund (“WOOF”), in which case the Fund would receive redemption proceeds in-kind from SDCF and/or WOOF and would then be required to dispose of those assets (mostly asset-backed securities) in the current adverse market conditions.  To manage the Fund’s cash collateral needs in the current extraordinary market conditions, the Manager reserves the right to reduce or eliminate the Fund’s derivative exposures, including those that are intended to cause the Fund to track its benchmark more closely. A reduction in those exposures may tend to cause the performance of the Fund to track its benchmark less closely and make the Fund’s performance more dependent on the performance of the asset-backed securities it holds directly or indirectly.

 

To address in part the cash management issues described above, the Fund may effect nearly all significant redemptions of its shares in-kind. If redeeming shareholders from the Fund choose to sell assets received in-kind immediately and current adverse market conditions continue, they may experience difficulty selling the assets at favorable prices.  The Fund may establish de minimis amounts below which redemptions may be honored for cash. Amounts available for cash redemptions could be increased and/or redemption fees could be reduced if conditions in the bond market improve. These amounts can and will change without prior notice.

 

Among other trading agreements, the Fund is party to International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreements (“ISDA Agreements”) with select counterparties that generally govern over-the-counter derivative transactions entered into by the Fund. The ISDA Master Agreements typically include representations and warranties as well as contractual terms related to collateral, events of default, termination events, and other provisions. Termination events include the decline in the net assets of the Fund below a certain level over a specified period of time and entitle a counterparty to elect to terminate early with respect to some or all the transactions under the ISDA Agreement with that counterparty. Such an election by one or more of the counterparties could have a material adverse impact on the Fund’s operations.  Due to declines in the net assets of the Fund prior to May 31, 2009, one or more counterparties are entitled to terminate early but none has taken such action.

 

Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities–Effective March 1, 2009, the Fund adopted FASB Statement of Financial Standards No. 161 “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS 161”). This standard is an amendment to FASB Statement No. 133 (“FASB 133”), “Accounting for Derivative Instruments” which expands the disclosure requirements of FASB 133 regarding an entity’s derivative instruments and hedging activities.

^^ As the Fund values its derivatives at fair value and recognizes changes in fair value through the statement of operations, it does not qualify for hedge accounting under FASB 133. The Fund’s investments in derivatives may represent an economic hedge; however, they are considered to be non-hedge transactions for the purpose of SFAS 161 disclosure.

On March 19, 2009, the Trustees approved GMO’s plan to maximize the amount of cash distributed to shareholders that represents receipts on its portfolio holdings (including shares of the underlying funds) and from dispositions of those holdings. The plan was adopted in light of the requirements of Section 562 (b) of the Code and calls for the Fund to cease operations within 2 years. For purposes of meeting that timetable, the Fund may distribute securities (including shares of the underlying funds) in-kind.

Portfolio valuation

 

Shares of the underlying funds and other mutual funds are generally valued at their net asset value.

 

Investments held by the underlying funds are valued as follows.   Securities listed on a securities exchange for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price on each business day, or if there is no such reported sale or official closing price, at the most recent quoted bid price, or broker bid (if the private market is more relevant in determining market value than the exchange).  Unlisted securities for which market quotations are readily available are generally valued at the most recent quoted bid price.  Debt instruments with a remaining maturity of sixty days or less are generally valued at amortized cost.  Shares of investment funds are generally valued at their net asset value.  Securities for which quotations are not readily available or whose values the Manager has determined to be unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Trustees or persons acting at their direction pursuant to procedures approved by the Trustees.  Although the goal of fair valuation is to determine the amount the owner of the securities might reasonably expect to receive upon their current sale, because of the uncertainty inherent in fair value pricing, the value determined for a particular security may be materially different than the value realized upon its sale.  Because many foreign equity securities markets and exchanges close prior to the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), closing prices for foreign securities in those markets or on those exchanges do not reflect the events that occur after that close but before the close of the NYSE.  As a result, the Fund generally values foreign equity securities as of the NYSE close using fair value prices, which are based on adjustments to closing prices supplied by a third party vendor using that vendor’s proprietary models.  As of May 31, 2009, 35.73% of the net assets of the Fund, through investments in the underlying funds, were valued using fair value prices based on models used by that third party vendor. Those underlying funds classify such securities under SFAS 157 (as defined below) as level 2.

 

Typically the Fund and the underlying funds value debt instruments based on the most recent bid supplied by a single pricing source chosen by the Manager.  The Manager evaluates pricing sources on an ongoing basis, and may change a pricing source at any time.  The Manager normally does not evaluate the prices supplied by pricing sources on a day-to-day basis.  The Manager monitors erratic or unusual movements (including unusual inactivity) in the prices supplied for a security and has discretion to override a price supplied by a source (e.g., by taking a price supplied by another) when it believes that the price supplied is not reliable.  The prices provided by a pricing source may differ from the value that would be realized if the securities were sold, and the differences could be material. In addition, although alternative prices are available for other securities held by the Fund, those alternative sources would not necessarily confirm the security price used by the Fund. Therefore, the existence of those alternative sources does not necessarily provide greater certainty about the prices used by the Fund.  As of May 31, 2009, the total value of securities held directly and indirectly for which no alternative pricing source was available represented 2.11% of the net assets of the Fund.

 

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS 157”). While the adoption of SFAS 157 does not have an effect on the Fund’s net asset value, it does require additional disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 establishes a three-level hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements. The valuation hierarchy is based upon the reliability of inputs to the valuation of the Fund’s investments. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.  The three levels are defined as follows:

 

Level 1 – Valuations based on quoted prices for identical securities in active markets.

 

Level 2 – Valuations determined using other significant direct or indirect observable inputs.

 

Level 3 – Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant.  The Fund utilized the following fair value techniques on level 3 investments: The Fund valued debt securities using bids received from primary pricing sources.

 

The following is a summary of the categorization of investments by inputs used as of May 31, 2009 in valuing the Fund’s investments:

Underlying funds are classified above as either level 1 or level 2. For the underlying funds’ summary of valuation inputs (including level 3 inputs, if any) please refer to the respective fund’s portfolio valuation note. The aggregate absolute values of the Fund’s direct and indirect investments in securities and other financial instruments using level 3 inputs were 7.39% and 0.01% of total net assets, respectively.

Foreign currency translation

 

The market values of foreign securities, currency holdings and related assets and liabilities are translated to U.S. dollars based on the 4 p.m. New York time exchange rates each business day.  Income and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the 4 p.m. New York time exchange rates on the business day the income and expenses are accrued or incurred.  The Fund does not isolate realized and unrealized gains and losses attributable to changes in exchange rates from gains and losses that arise from changes in the market value of investments.  Such fluctuations are included with net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments.  Net realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions represent gains and losses on disposition of currencies and forward currency contracts, currency gains and losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amount of investment income and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s accounting records and the U.S. dollar equivalent amounts actually received or paid.

 

Investment risks

 

The Fund is indirectly exposed to all of the risks associated with an investment in the underlying funds, including the risk that the underlying funds in which it invests will not perform as expected.  Some underlying funds may invest in foreign securities and asset-backed securities. The Fund is subject to risks involved in investing in foreign securities that are not presented by investments in U.S. securities. These risks may involve adverse political and economic developments, including expropriation and the possible imposition of capital controls or other foreign governmental laws or restrictions. In addition, the securities of some foreign companies and securities markets are less liquid and at times more volatile than securities of comparable U.S. companies and U.S. securities markets. Also, fluctuations in exchange rates may adversely affect the U.S. dollar value of the Fund’s foreign currency holdings and investments denominated in foreign currency.  The risks described above apply to an even greater extent to investments in emerging countries. The securities markets of emerging countries are generally smaller, less developed, less liquid, and more volatile than the securities markets of the U.S. and developed foreign markets. Additionally, the investment risks associated with an investment in the underlying funds may be greater to the extent that the underlying funds engage in derivative transactions.

 

The Fund invests (including through investment in underlying funds) in asset-backed securities, which may be backed in whole or in part by many types of assets, including pools of residential and commercial mortgages, automobile loans, educational loans, home equity loans, or credit-card receivables, which bring additional types of market risk.  Asset-backed securities also may be collateralized by the fees earned by service providers. They also may be backed by pools of corporate or sovereign bonds, bank loans made to corporations, or a combination of these bonds and loans (commonly referred to as “collateralized debt obligations”). Payment of interest on asset-backed securities and repayment of principal largely depend on the cash flows generated by the underlying assets backing the securities. The amount of market risk associated with asset-backed securities depends on many factors, including the deal structure (e.g., determination as to the amount of underlying assets or other support needed to produce the cash flows necessary to service interest and make principal payments), the quality of the underlying assets, the level of credit support, if any, provided for the securities, and the credit quality of the credit-support provider, if any.  Asset-backed securities involve risk of loss of principal if obligors of the underlying obligations default in payment of the obligations and the defaulted obligations exceed the credit support. The obligations of issuers (and obligors of underlying assets) also are subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, and other laws affecting the rights and remedies of creditors.  Many asset-backed securities are now rated below investment grade.

 

With the deterioration of worldwide economic and liquidity conditions that became acute in 2008, the markets for asset-backed securities became fractured and uncertainty about the creditworthiness of those securities (and underlying collateral) caused credit spreads (the

 



 

difference between yields on the asset-backed securities and U.S. Government securities) to widen dramatically. Concurrently, systemic risks of the type evidenced by the insolvency of Lehman Brothers and subsequent market disruptions reduced the ability of financial institutions to make markets in many fixed income securities generally. These events reduced liquidity for securitized credits and contributed to substantial declines in the value of asset-backed and other fixed income securities. There can be no assurance these conditions will not continue or that they will not deteriorate further. Also, government actions and proposals affecting the terms of underlying home and consumer loans, changes in demand for products (e.g., automobiles) financed by those loans, and the inability of borrowers to refinance existing loans (e.g., sub-prime mortgages), have had, and may continue to have, adverse valuation and liquidity effects on asset-backed securities. There can be no assurance that in the future the market for asset-backed securities will become more liquid.

 

The value of an asset-backed security may depend on the servicing of its underlying assets and is, therefore, subject to risks associated with the negligence or defalcation of its servicer. In some circumstances, the mishandling of related documentation also may affect the rights of security holders in and to the underlying collateral. The insolvency of entities that generate receivables or that utilize the assets may result in a decline in the value of the underlying assets, as well as costs and delays.  In addition, asset-backed securities representing diverse sectors (e.g., auto loans, student loans, sub-prime mortgages, and credit-card receivables) have become more highly correlated since the deterioration of worldwide economic and liquidity conditions referred to above. 

 

Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities–Effective March 1, 2009, the Fund adopted FASB Statement of Financial Standards No. 161 “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS 161”). This standard is an amendment to FASB Statement No. 133 (“FASB 133”), which expands the disclosure requirements of FASB 133 regarding an entity’s derivative instruments and hedging activities.

 

The Fund adopted SFAS 161 on March 1, 2009.  As of May 31, 2009, the Fund held no derivative contracts for the purposes of SFAS 161.

Portfolio valuation

 

Securities listed on a securities exchange for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price on each business day, or if there is no such reported sale or official closing price, at the most recent quoted bid price, or broker bid (if the private market is more relevant in determining market value than the exchange).  Unlisted securities for which market quotations are readily available are generally valued at the most recent quoted bid price.  Debt instruments with a remaining maturity of sixty days or less are generally valued at amortized cost.  Shares of investment funds are generally valued at their net asset value.  Securities for which quotations are not readily available or whose values the Manager has determined to be unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Trustees or persons acting at their direction pursuant to procedures approved by the Trustees.  Although the goal of fair valuation is to determine the amount the owner of the securities might reasonably expect to receive upon their current sale, because of the uncertainty inherent in fair value pricing, the value determined for a particular security may be materially different than the value realized upon its sale. For information about the pricing of some specific positions (e.g. swaps) see descriptions below. Because many foreign equity securities markets and exchanges close prior to the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), closing prices for foreign securities in those markets or on those exchanges do not reflect the events that occur after that close but before the close of the NYSE.  As a result, the Fund generally values foreign equity securities as of the NYSE close using fair value prices, which are based on adjustments to closing prices supplied by a third party vendor using that vendor’s proprietary models.  As of May 31, 2009, 96.15% of the net assets of the Fund were valued using fair value prices based on models used by that third party vendor and are classified as using level 2 inputs in the table below.

 

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS 157”). While the adoption of SFAS 157 does not have an effect on the Fund’s net asset value, it does require additional disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 establishes a three-level hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements. The valuation hierarchy is based upon the reliability of inputs to the valuation of the Fund’s investments. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.  The three levels are defined as follows:

 

Level 1 – Valuations based on quoted prices for identical securities in active markets.

 

Level 2 – Valuations determined using other significant direct or indirect observable inputs.

 

Level 3 – Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant. The Fund utilized the following fair value techniques on Level 3 investments: The Fund considered certain bankrupt securities to be worthless.

 

The following is a summary of the categorization of investments by inputs used as of May 31, 2009 in valuing the Fund’s investments:

Foreign currency translation

 

The market values of foreign securities, currency holdings and related assets and liabilities are translated to U.S. dollars based on the 4 p.m. New York time exchange rates each business day.  Income and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the 4 p.m. New York time exchange rates on the business day the income and expenses are accrued or incurred.  The Fund does not isolate realized and unrealized gains and losses attributable to changes in exchange rates from gains and losses that arise from changes in the market value of investments.  Such fluctuations are included with net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments.  Net realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions represent gains and losses on disposition of currencies and forward currency contracts, currency gains and losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amount of investment income and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s accounting records and the U.S. dollar equivalent amounts actually received or paid.

 

Forward currency contracts

 

The Fund may enter into forward currency contracts, including forward cross currency contracts.  A forward currency contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell a currency at a set price on a future date (or to pay or receive the amounts of the change in relative values of the two currencies).  The market value of a forward currency contract fluctuates with changes in forward currency exchange rates.  Forward currency contracts are marked to market daily using rates supplied by a quotation service and changes in value are recorded by the Fund as unrealized gains or losses.  Realized gains or losses on the contracts are 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.  These contracts involve market risk in excess of the unrealized gain or loss.  They expose the Fund to the risk of unfavorable movements in currency values and the risk that the counterparty will be unable or unwilling to meet the terms of the contracts.

 

Futures contracts

 

The Fund may purchase and sell futures contracts.  A futures contract is a contract that obligates the holder to buy or sell an asset at a predetermined delivery price during a specified future time period.  Some futures contracts are net (cash) settled. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to deposit cash, U.S. government and agency obligations, or other liquid assets with the futures clearing broker in accordance with the initial margin requirements of the broker or exchange.  Futures contracts are marked to market daily and an appropriate payable or receivable for the change in value (“variation margin”) is recorded by the Fund.  The payable or receivable is settled on the following business day.  Gains or losses are recognized but not considered realized until the contracts expire or are closed.  Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of the variation margin.  Under some circumstances, futures exchanges may establish daily limits on the amount that the price of a futures contract can vary from the previous day’s settlement price, thereby effectively preventing liquidation of unfavorable positions.  Losses may arise from changes in the value of the underlying instrument if the Fund is unable to liquidate a futures position due to an illiquid market for the contract, the imposition of price limits or the failure of counterparty to perform under the contract terms.  Futures contracts are generally valued at the settlement price established each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded. Because many foreign exchanges close prior to the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), closing prices for foreign futures in those markets or on those markets or on those exchanges do not reflect the events that occur after that close but before the close of the NYSE. As a result, the Fund generally values foreign futures using fair value prices, which are based on adjustments to closing prices supplied by a third party vendor based on that vendor’s proprietary models.

 

Options

 

The Fund may purchase put and call options.  A call option gives the holder the right to buy an asset; a put option gives the holder the right to sell an asset.  Purchasing options alters the Fund’s exposure to the underlying instrument by, in the case of a call option, entitling the Fund to purchase the underlying instrument at a set price from the writer of the option and, in the case of a put option, entitling the Fund to sell the underlying instrument at a set price to the writer of the option.  The Fund pays a premium for a purchased option.  That premium is

 



 

disclosed in the Schedule of Investments and is subsequently marked to market to reflect the current value of the option.  Premiums paid for options that expire are treated as realized losses.  Premiums paid for options that are exercised or closed are deducted from the proceeds of the closing transaction to determine the realized gain or loss.  The risk associated with purchasing put and call options is limited to the premium paid.

 

The Fund may write (i.e., sell) call and put options.   Writing options alters the Fund’s exposure to the underlying instrument by, in the case of a call option, obligating the Fund to sell the underlying instrument at a set price to the option-holder and, in the case of a put option, obligating the Fund to purchase the underlying instrument at a set price from the option-holder. In some cases (e.g. index options), settlement will be in cash. When the Fund writes a call or put option, an amount equal to the premium received is recorded as a liability and subsequently marked to market to reflect the current value of the option written.  Premiums received from writing options that expire are treated as realized gains.  Premiums received from writing options that are exercised or closed are deducted from the amounts paid on the underlying future, security or currency transaction to determine the realized gain or loss.  The Fund as a writer of an option has no control over whether the underlying future, security or currency may be sold (call) or purchased (put) and as a result bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the future, security or currency underlying the option.  In the event that the Fund writes call or put options without an offsetting exposure (e.g. call options on a security that the Fund does not own), it bears the risk of substantial losses if the price of the underlying asset increases (calls) or decreases (puts) during the term of the option.  Options expose the Fund to the risk the Fund may not be able to enter into a closing transaction because of an illiquid market.

 

The Fund values exchange traded options at the last sale price, or if no sale is reported, the last bid price for options it has purchased and the last ask price for options it has written.  The Fund values options traded over-the-counter using inputs provided by primary pricing sources and industry models.

 

Indexed securities

 

The Fund may invest in indexed securities.  Indexed securities are securities whose values and/or coupons are linked to the prices of a specific instrument, group of instruments or financial statistic.

 

Swap agreements

 

The Fund may enter into various types of swap agreements, including without limitation, swaps on securities and securities indicies, interest rate swaps, total return swaps, credit default swaps, variance swaps, commodity swaps, inflation swaps and other types of available swaps.  A swap agreement is an agreement to exchange the return generated by one instrument for the return generated by another instrument.  Some swap contracts are net settled. When entering into a swap agreement, the Fund and/or the swap counterparty may post or receive cash or securities as collateral and will typically post or receive additional collateral as market values change.

 

Interest rate swap agreements involve an exchange by the parties of their respective commitments to pay or right to receive interest, e.g., an exchange of floating rate interest payments for fixed rate interest payments with respect to the notional amount of principal.

 

Total return swap agreements involve a commitment by one party to pay interest to the other party in exchange for a payment to it from the other party based on the return of a reference instrument (e.g., a security or basket of securities), both based on notional amounts. To the extent the return of the reference instrument exceeds or falls short of the interest payments, one party will receive a payment from or make a payment to the other party.

 

In a credit default swap agreement, one party makes payments to another party in exchange for the right to receive a specified return if a credit event occurs with respect to a referenced entity or entities.  Buying credit default protection reduces the buyer’s exposure (or increases negative exposure) in the event of an issuer’s default (e.g., it is intended to reduce risk where a party owns a security issued by or otherwise has exposure to the issuer).  Selling credit default protection subjects the seller to exposure to an issuer’s default or other credit events.  A seller of credit default protection receives payments in return for its obligation to pay the principal amount of a debt security (or other agreed-upon value) to the other party upon the occurrence of a credit event (e.g., issuer default or similar event).  If no credit event occurs, the seller has no payment obligations.    For credit default swap agreements on asset-backed securities, a credit event may be triggered by various events, which may include an issuer’s failure to pay interest or principal, a breach of a material representation or covenant, an agreement by the holders of an asset-backed security to a maturity extension, or a write-down on the collateral underlying the security. For credit default swap agreements on corporate or sovereign issuers, a credit event may be triggered by such events as the issuer’s bankruptcy, failure to pay interest or principal, repudiation/moratorium or restructuring.

 

Variance swap agreements involve an agreement by two parties to exchange cash flows based on the measured variance (or square of volatility) of a specified underlying asset. One party agrees to exchange a “fixed rate” or strike price payment for the “floating rate” or realized price variance on the underlying asset with respect to the notional amount. At inception, the strike price chosen is generally fixed at a level such that the fair value of the swap is zero. As a result, no money changes hands at the initiation of the contract. At the expiration date, the amount paid by one party to the other is the difference between the realized price variance of the underlying asset and the strike price multiplied by the notional amount. A receiver of the realized price variance would receive a payment when the realized price variance

 



 

of the underlying asset is greater than the strike price and would make a payment when that variance is less than the strike price. A payer of the realized price variance would make a payment when the realized price variance of the underlying asset is greater than the strike price and would receive a payment when that variance is less than the strike price. This type of agreement is essentially a forward contract on the future realized price variance of the underlying asset.

 

The Fund prices its swap agreements daily using models that may incorporate quotations from market makers and records the change in value, if any, as unrealized gain or loss.  Payments received or made on swap agreements are recorded as realized gain or loss.  Gains or losses are realized upon termination of the swap agreements, or reset dates as appropriate.

 

Swap agreements generally are not traded on financial markets. The values assigned to them may differ significantly from the values that would be realized upon termination, and the differences could be material. Entering into swap agreements involves counterparty credit, legal, and documentation risk that is generally not reflected in the models used to price the swap agreement.  Such risks include the possibility that the party with whom the Fund contracts may default on its obligations to perform or disagree as to the meaning of contractual terms, that the Fund has amounts on deposit in excess of amounts owed by the Fund, or that the collateral the other party posts may be insufficient or not timely received by the Fund.  Specifically, the amount shown as owed to the Fund under a swap agreement is not reduced if there is uncertainty about the counterparty’s willingness or ability to pay. Credit risk is particularly acute in economic environments in which financial services firms are exposed to systemic risks of the type evidenced by the insolvency of Lehman Brothers in 2008 and subsequent market disruptions.

 

Investment risks

 

Investments in securities of issuers in emerging countries, such as Taiwan, present risks that are not presented by many other investments. Many emerging countries are subject to political and/or economic instability.  The securities markets of emerging countries are generally smaller and less developed than the securities markets of the U.S. and developed foreign markets. Further, countries may expropriate, or impose various types of foreign currency regulations or controls that impede the Fund’s ability to repatriate, amounts it receives.   Also, fluctuations in exchange rates may adversely affect the U.S. dollar value of the Fund’s foreign currency holdings and investments denominated in foreign currency.  These factors may result in significant volatility in the values of the Fund’s holdings. The markets in emerging countries are typically less liquid than those of developed markets.  Accordingly, the Fund may not be able to realize in an actual sale amounts approximating the values it has placed on its holdings.

 

The Manager is registered with the Securities and Futures Commission of Taiwan as a Qualified Foreign Institutional Investor (“QFII”) in Taiwan and is therefore authorized to invest directly in the Taiwanese securities market, subject to certain limitations including a maximum investment amount. The Fund is listed as a sub-account under the Manager’s QFII license and is authorized to invest directly in the Taiwanese securities market. The Fund’s ability to continue to invest directly in Taiwan is subject to the risk that the Manager’s QFII license or the Fund’s sub-account under the Manager’s QFII license may be terminated or suspended by the Securities and Futures Commission. If the license were terminated or suspended, the Fund could be required to liquidate or seek exposure to the Taiwanese market through the purchase of American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”) and Global Depository Receipts (“GDRs”), shares of other funds which are licensed to invest directly, or derivative instruments.

 

Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities–Effective March 1, 2009, the Fund adopted FASB Statement of Financial Standards No. 161 “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS 161”). This standard is an amendment to FASB Statement No. 133 (“FASB 133”), “Accounting for Derivative Instruments” which expands the disclosure requirements of FASB 133 regarding an entity’s derivative instruments and hedging activities.

 

The Fund adopted SFAS 161 on March 1, 2009.  As of May 31, 2009, the Fund held no derivative contracts for the purposes of SFAS 161.

Notes to Schedule of Investments:

*       Non-income producing security.

 



 

Portfolio valuation

 

Securities listed on a securities exchange for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price on each business day, or if there is no such reported sale or official closing price, at the most recent quoted bid price, or broker bid (if the private market is more relevant in determining market value than the exchange).  Unlisted securities for which market quotations are readily available are generally valued at the most recent quoted bid price.  Debt instruments with a remaining maturity of sixty days or less are generally valued at amortized cost.  Shares of investment funds are generally valued at their net asset value.  Securities for which quotations are not readily available or whose values the Manager has determined to be unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Trustees or persons acting at their direction pursuant to procedures approved by the Trustees.  Although the goal of fair valuation is to determine the amount the owner of the securities might reasonably expect to receive upon their current sale, because of the uncertainty inherent in fair value pricing, the value determined for a particular security may be materially different than the value realized upon its sale.  For information about the pricing of some specific positions (e.g. swaps) see descriptions below.  Because many foreign equity securities markets and exchanges close prior to the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), closing prices for foreign securities in those markets or on those exchanges do not reflect the events that occur after that close but before the close of the NYSE.  As a result, the Fund generally values foreign equity securities as of the NYSE close using fair value prices, which are based on adjustments to closing prices supplied by a third party vendor using that vendor’s proprietary models.  As of May 31, 2009, 93.48% of the net assets of the Fund were valued using fair value prices based on models used by that third party vendor and are classified as using level 2 inputs in the table below.

 

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS 157”). While the adoption of SFAS 157 does not have an effect on the Fund’s net asset value, it does require additional disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 establishes a three-level hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements. The valuation hierarchy is based upon the reliability of inputs to the valuation of the Fund’s investments. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.  The three levels are defined as follows:

 

Level 1 — Valuations based on quoted prices for identical securities in active markets.

 

Level 2 — Valuations determined using other significant direct or indirect observable inputs.

 

Level 3 — Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant.

 

The following is a summary of the categorization of investments by inputs used as of May 31, 2009 in valuing the Fund’s investments:

Foreign currency translation

 

The market values of foreign securities, currency holdings and related assets and liabilities are translated to U.S. dollars based on the 4 p.m. New York time exchange rates each business day.  Income and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the 4 p.m. New York time exchange rates on the business day the income and expenses are accrued or incurred.  The Fund does not isolate realized and unrealized gains and losses attributable to changes in exchange rates from gains and losses that arise from changes in the market value

 



 

of investments.  Such fluctuations are included with net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments.  Net realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions represent gains and losses on disposition of currencies and forward currency contracts, currency gains and losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amount of investment income and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s accounting records and the U.S. dollar equivalent amounts actually received or paid.

 

Forward currency contracts

 

The Fund may enter into forward currency contracts, including forward cross currency contracts.  A forward currency contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell a currency at a set price on a future date (or to pay or receive the amounts of the change in relative values of the two currencies).  The market value of a forward currency contract fluctuates with changes in forward currency exchange rates.  Forward currency contracts are marked to market daily using rates supplied by a quotation service and changes in value are recorded by the Fund as unrealized gains or losses.  Realized gains or losses on the contracts are 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.  These contracts involve market risk in excess of the unrealized gain or loss.  They expose the Fund to the risk of unfavorable movements in currency values and the risk that the counterparty will be unable or unwilling to meet the terms of the contracts.

 

Rights and Warrants

 

A Fund may purchase or otherwise receive warrants or rights. Warrants and rights generally give the holder the right to receive, upon exercise, a security of the issuer at a stated price. Funds typically use warrants and rights in a manner similar to their use of options on securities, as described in Options below. Risks associated with the use of warrants and rights are generally similar to risks associated with the use of options. Unlike most options, however, warrants and rights are issued in specific amounts, and warrants generally have longer terms than options. Warrants and rights are not likely to be as liquid as exchange-traded options backed by a recognized clearing agency. In addition, the terms of warrants or rights may limit a Fund’s ability to exercise the warrants or rights at such time, or in such quantities, as the Fund would otherwise wish.

 

Futures contracts

 

The Fund may purchase and sell futures contracts.  A futures contract is a contract that obligates the holder to buy or sell an asset at a predetermined delivery price during a specified future time period.  Some futures contracts are net (cash) settled. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to deposit cash, U.S. government and agency obligations, or other liquid assets with the futures clearing broker in accordance with the initial margin requirements of the broker or exchange.  Futures contracts are marked to market daily and an appropriate payable or receivable for the change in value (“variation margin”) is recorded by the Fund.  The payable or receivable is settled on the following business day.  Gains or losses are recognized but not considered realized until the contracts expire or are closed.  Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of the variation margin.  Under some circumstances, futures exchanges may establish daily limits on the amount that the price of a futures contract can vary from the previous day’s settlement price, thereby effectively preventing liquidation of unfavorable positions.  Losses may arise from changes in the value of the underlying instrument if the Fund is unable to liquidate a futures position due to an illiquid market for the contract, the imposition of price limits or the failure of counterparty to perform under the contract terms.  Futures contracts are generally valued at the settlement price established at the close of business each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded.  Because many foreign exchanges close prior to the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), closing prices for foreign futures in those markets or on those markets or on those exchanges do not reflect the events that occur after that close but before the close of the NYSE. As a result, the Fund generally values foreign futures using fair value prices, which are based on adjustments to closing prices supplied by a third party vendor based on that vendor’s proprietary models.

 

Options

 

The Fund may purchase put and call options.  A call option gives the holder the right to buy an asset; a put option gives the holder the right to sell an asset.  Purchasing options alters the Fund’s exposure to the underlying instrument by, in the case of a call option, entitling the Fund to purchase the underlying instrument at a set price from the writer of the option and, in the case of a put option, entitling the Fund to sell the underlying instrument at a set price to the writer of the option.  The Fund pays a premium for a purchased option.  That premium is disclosed in the Schedule of Investments and is subsequently marked to market to reflect the current value of the option.  Premiums paid for options that expire are treated as realized losses.  Premiums paid for options that are exercised or closed are deducted from the proceeds of the closing transaction to determine the realized gain or loss.  The risk associated with purchasing put and call options is limited to the premium paid.

 

The Fund may write (i.e., sell) call and put options.  Writing options alters the Fund’s exposure to the underlying instrument by, in the case of a call option, obligating the Fund to sell the underlying instrument at a set price to the option-holder and, in the case of a put option, obligating the Fund to purchase the underlying instrument at a set price from the option-holder. In some cases (e.g., index options), settlement will be in cash. When the Fund writes a call or put option, an amount equal to the premium received is recorded as a liability and subsequently marked to market to reflect the current value of the option written.  Premiums received from writing options that expire are treated as realized gains.  Premiums received from writing options that are exercised or closed are deducted from the amounts paid on the underlying future, security or currency transaction to determine the realized gain or loss.  The Fund as a writer of an option has no control over whether the underlying future, security or currency may be sold (call) or purchased (put) and as a result bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the future, security or currency underlying the option.  In the event that the Fund writes call or put options without an offsetting exposure (e.g. call options on a security that the Fund does not own), it bears the risk of substantial losses if the price of the underlying asset increases (calls) or decreases (puts) during the term of the option.  Options expose the Fund to the risk the Fund may not be able to enter into a closing transaction because of an illiquid market.

 



 

The Fund values exchange traded options at the last sale price, or if no sale is reported, the last bid price for options it has purchased and the last ask price for options it has written.  The Fund values options traded over-the-counter using inputs provided by primary pricing sources and industry models.

 

Swap agreements

 

The Fund may enter into various types of swap agreements, including without limitation, swaps on securities and securities indices, interest rate swaps, total return swaps, credit default swaps, variance swaps, commodity swaps, inflation swaps and other types of available swaps.  A swap agreement is an agreement to exchange the return generated by one instrument for the return generated by another instrument.  Some swap contracts are net settled. When entering into a swap agreement, the Fund and/or the swap counterparty may post or receive cash or securities as collateral and will typically post or receive additional collateral as market values change.

 

Interest rate swap agreements involve an exchange by the parties of their respective commitments to pay or right to receive interest, e.g., an exchange of floating rate interest payments for fixed rate interest payments with respect to the notional amount of principal.

 

Total return swap agreements involve a commitment by one party to pay interest to the other party in exchange for a payment to it from the other party based on the return of a reference instrument (e.g., a security or basket of securities), both based on notional amounts. To the extent the return of the reference instrument exceeds or falls short of the interest payments, one party will receive a payment from or make a payment to the other party.

 

In a credit default swap agreement, one party makes payments to another party in exchange for the right to receive a specified return if a credit event occurs with respect to a referenced entity or entities.  Buying credit default protection reduces the buyer’s exposure (or increases negative exposure) in the event of an issuer’s default (e.g., it is intended to reduce risk where a party owns a security issued by or otherwise has exposure to the issuer).  Selling credit default protection subjects the seller to exposure to an issuer’s default or other credit events.  A seller of credit default protection receives payments in return for its obligation to pay the principal amount of a debt security (or other agreed-upon value) to the other party upon the occurrence of a credit event (e.g., issuer default or similar event).  If no credit event occurs, the seller has no payment obligations.  For credit default swap agreements on asset-backed securities, a credit event may be triggered by various events, which may include an issuer’s failure to pay interest or principal, a breach of a material representation or covenant, an agreement by the holders of an asset-backed security to a maturity extension, or a write-down on the collateral underlying the security.  For credit default swap agreements on corporate or sovereign issuers, a credit event may be triggered by such events as the issuer’s bankruptcy, failure to pay interest or principal, repudiation/moratorium or restructuring.

 

Variance swap agreements involve an agreement by two parties to exchange cash flows based on the measured variance (or square of volatility) of a specified underlying asset. One party agrees to exchange a “fixed rate” or strike price payment for the “floating rate” or realized price variance on the underlying asset with respect to the notional amount. At inception, the strike price chosen is generally fixed at a level such that the fair value of the swap is zero. As a result, no money changes hands at the initiation of the contract. At the expiration date, the amount paid by one party to the other is the difference between the realized price variance of the underlying asset and the strike price multiplied by the notional amount. A receiver of the realized price variance would receive a payment when the realized price variance of the underlying asset is greater than the strike price and would make a payment when that variance is less than the strike price. A payer of the realized price variance would make a payment when the realized price variance of the underlying asset is greater than the strike price and would receive a payment when that variance is less than the strike price. This type of agreement is essentially a forward contract on the future realized price variance of the underlying asset.

 

The Fund prices its swap agreements daily using models that may incorporate quotations from market makers and records the change in value, if any, as unrealized gain or loss.  Payments received or made on swap agreements are recorded as realized gain or loss.  Gains or losses are realized upon termination of the swap agreements, or reset dates as appropriate.

 

Swap agreements generally are not traded on financial markets. The values assigned to them may differ significantly from the values that would be realized upon termination, and the differences could be material. Entering into swap agreements involves counterparty credit, legal, and documentation risk that is generally not reflected in the models used to price the swap agreement.  Such risks include the possibility that the party with whom the Fund contracts may default on its obligations to perform or disagree as to the meaning of contractual terms, that the Fund has amounts on deposit in excess of amounts owed by the Fund, or that the collateral the other party posts may be insufficient or not timely received by the Fund.  Specifically, the amount shown as owed to the Fund under a swap agreement is not reduced if there is uncertainty about the counterparty’s willingness or ability to pay.  Credit risk is particularly acute in economic environments in which financial services firms are exposed to systemic risks of the type evidenced by the insolvency of Lehman Brothers in 2008 and subsequent market disruptions.

 

Investment risks

 

The Fund is subject to risks involved in investing in foreign securities that are not presented by investments in U.S. securities. These risks may involve adverse political and economic developments, including expropriation and the possible imposition of capital controls or other foreign governmental laws or restrictions. In addition, the securities of some foreign companies and securities markets are less liquid and at times may be more volatile than securities of comparable U.S. companies and U.S. securities markets.

 



 

Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities–Effective March 1, 2009, the Fund adopted FASB Statement of Financial Standards No. 161 “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS 161”). This standard is an amendment to FASB Statement No. 133 (“FASB 133”), “Accounting for Derivative Instruments” which expands the disclosure requirements of FASB 133 regarding an entity’s derivative instruments and hedging activities.

^^ As the Fund values its derivatives at fair value and recognizes changes in fair value through the statement of operations, it does not qualify for hedge accounting under FASB 133. The Fund’s investments in derivatives may represent an economic hedge; however, they are considered to be non-hedge transactions for the purpose of SFAS 161 disclosure.

Portfolio valuation

 

Securities listed on a securities exchange for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price on each business day, or if there is no such reported sale or official closing price, at the most recent quoted bid price, or broker bid (if the private market is more relevant in determining market value than the exchange).  Unlisted securities for which market quotations are readily available are generally valued at the most recent quoted bid price.  Debt instruments with a remaining maturity of sixty days or less are generally valued at amortized cost.  Shares of investment funds are generally valued at their net asset value.  Securities for which quotations are not readily available or whose values the Manager has determined to be unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Trustees or persons acting at their direction pursuant to procedures approved by the Trustees.  Although the goal of fair valuation is to determine the amount the owner of the securities might reasonably expect to receive upon their current sale, because of the uncertainty inherent in fair value pricing, the value determined for a particular security may be materially different than the value realized upon its sale.  For information about the pricing of some specific positions (e.g. swaps) see descriptions below.

 

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS 157”). While the adoption of SFAS 157 does not have an effect on the Fund’s net asset value, it does require additional disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 establishes a three-level hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements. The valuation hierarchy is based upon the reliability of inputs to the valuation of the Fund’s investments. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.  The three levels are defined as follows:

 

Level 1 – Valuations based on quoted prices for identical securities in active markets.

 

Level 2 – Valuations determined using other significant direct or indirect observable inputs.

 

Level 3 – Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant.

 

The following is a summary of the categorization of investments by inputs used as of May 31, 2009 in valuing the Fund’s investments:

The Fund held no investments or other financial instruments at either February 28, 2009 or May 31, 2009, whose fair value was determined using level 3 inputs.

 

Futures contracts

 

The Fund may purchase and sell futures contracts.  A futures contract is a contract that obligates the holder to buy or sell an asset at a predetermined delivery price during a specified future time period.  Some futures contracts are net (cash) settled. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to deposit cash, U.S. government and agency obligations, or other liquid assets with the futures clearing broker in accordance with the initial margin requirements of the broker or exchange.  Futures contracts are marked to market daily and an appropriate payable or receivable for the change in value (“variation margin”) is recorded by the Fund.  The payable or receivable is settled on the following business day.  Gains or losses are recognized but not considered realized until the contracts expire or are closed.  Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of the variation margin.  Under some circumstances, futures exchanges may establish daily limits on the amount that the price of a futures contract can vary from the previous day’s settlement price, thereby effectively preventing liquidation of unfavorable positions.  Losses may arise from changes in the value of the underlying instrument if the Fund is unable to liquidate a futures position due to an illiquid market for the contract, the imposition of price limits or the failure of counterparty to perform under the contract terms.  Futures contracts are

 



 

generally valued at the settlement price established at the close of business each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded.

 

Swap agreements

 

The Fund may enter into various types of swap agreements, including without limitation, swaps on securities and securities indicies, interest rate swaps, total return swaps, credit default swaps, variance swaps, commodity swaps, inflation swaps and other types of available swaps.  A swap agreement is an agreement to exchange the return generated by one instrument for the return generated by another instrument.  Some swap contracts are net settled. When entering into a swap agreement, the Fund and/or the swap counterparty may post or receive cash or securities as collateral and will typically post or receive additional collateral as market values change.

 

Interest rate swap agreements involve an exchange by the parties of their respective commitments to pay or right to receive interest, e.g., an exchange of floating rate interest payments for fixed rate interest payments with respect to the notional amount of principal.

 

Total return swap agreements involve a commitment by one party to pay interest to the other party in exchange for a payment to it from the other party based on the return of a reference instrument (e.g., a security or basket of securities), both based on notional amounts. To the extent the return of the reference instrument exceeds or falls short of the interest payments, one party will receive a payment from or make a payment to the other party.

 

In a credit default swap agreement, one party makes payments to another party in exchange for the right to receive a specified return if a credit event occurs with respect to a referenced entity or entities.  Buying credit default protection reduces the buyer’s exposure (or increases negative exposure) in the event of an issuer’s default (e.g., it is intended to reduce risk where a party owns a security issued by or otherwise has exposure to the issuer).  Selling credit default protection subjects the seller to exposure to an issuer’s default or other credit events.  A seller of credit default protection receives payments in return for its obligation to pay the principal amount of a debt security (or other agreed-upon value) to the other party upon the occurrence of a credit event (e.g., issuer default or similar event).  If no credit event occurs, the seller has no payment obligations.    For credit default swap agreements on asset-backed securities, a credit event may be triggered by various events, which may include an issuer’s failure to pay interest or principal, a breach of a material representation or covenant, an agreement by the holders of an asset-backed security to a maturity extension, or a write-down on the collateral underlying the security. For credit default swap agreements on corporate or sovereign issuers, a credit event may be triggered by such events as the issuer’s bankruptcy, failure to pay interest or principal, repudiation/moratorium or restructuring.

 

Variance swap agreements involve an agreement by two parties to exchange cash flows based on the measured variance (or square of volatility) of a specified underlying asset. One party agrees to exchange a “fixed rate” or strike price payment for the “floating rate” or realized price variance on the underlying asset with respect to the notional amount. At inception, the strike price chosen is generally fixed at a level such that the fair value of the swap is zero. As a result, no money changes hands at the initiation of the contract. At the expiration date, the amount paid by one party to the other is the difference between the realized price variance of the underlying asset and the strike price multiplied by the notional amount. A receiver of the realized price variance would receive a payment when the realized price variance of the underlying asset is greater than the strike price and would make a payment when that variance is less than the strike price. A payer of the realized price variance would make a payment when the realized price variance of the underlying asset is greater than the strike price and would receive a payment when that variance is less than the strike price. This type of agreement is essentially a forward contract on the future realized price variance of the underlying asset.

 

The Fund prices its swap agreements daily using models that may incorporate quotations from market makers and records the change in value, if any, as unrealized gain or loss.  Payments received or made on swap agreements are recorded as realized gain or loss.  Gains or losses are realized upon termination of the swap agreements, or reset dates as appropriate.

 

Swap agreements generally are not traded on financial markets. The values assigned to them may differ significantly from the values that would be realized upon termination, and the differences could be material. Entering into swap agreements involves counterparty credit, legal, and documentation risk that is generally not reflected in the models used to price the swap agreement.  Such risks include the possibility that the party with whom the Fund contracts may default on its obligations to perform or disagree as to the meaning of contractual terms, that the Fund has amounts on deposit in excess of amounts owed by the Fund, or that the collateral the other party posts may be insufficient or not timely received by the Fund.  Specifically, the amount shown as owed to the Fund under a swap agreement is not reduced if there is uncertainty about the counterparty’s willingness or ability to pay. Credit risk is particularly acute in economic environments in which financial services firms are exposed to systemic risks of the type evidenced by the insolvency of Lehman Brothers in 2008 and subsequent market disruptions.

 

Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities–Effective March 1, 2009, the Fund adopted FASB Statement of Financial Standards No. 161 “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS 161”). This standard is an amendment to FASB Statement No. 133 (“FASB 133”), “Accounting for Derivative Instruments” which expands the disclosure requirements of FASB 133 regarding an entity’s derivative instruments and hedging activities.

 

The Fund adopted SFAS 161 on March 1, 2009.  As of May 31, 2009, the Fund held no derivative contracts for the purposes of SFAS 161.

Portfolio valuation

 

Securities listed on a securities exchange for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price on each business day, or if there is no such reported sale or official closing price, at the most recent quoted bid price, or broker bid (if the private market is more relevant in determining market value than the exchange).  Unlisted securities for which market quotations are readily available are generally valued at the most recent quoted bid price.  Debt instruments with a remaining maturity of sixty days or less are generally valued at amortized cost.  Shares of investment funds are generally valued at their net asset value.  Securities for which quotations are not readily available or whose values the Manager has determined to be unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Trustees or persons acting at their direction pursuant to procedures approved by the Trustees.  Although the goal of fair valuation is to determine the amount the owner of the securities might reasonably expect to receive upon their current sale, because of the uncertainty inherent in fair value pricing, the value determined for a particular security may be materially different than the value realized upon its sale.  For information about the pricing of some specific positions (e.g. swaps) see descriptions below.

 

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS 157”). While the adoption of SFAS 157 does not have an effect on the Fund’s net asset value, it does require additional disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 establishes a three-level hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements. The valuation hierarchy is based upon the reliability of inputs to the valuation of the Fund’s investments. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.  The three levels are defined as follows:

 

Level 1 – Valuations based on quoted prices for identical securities in active markets.

 

Level 2 – Valuations determined using other significant direct or indirect observable inputs.

 

Level 3 – Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant.

 

The following is a summary of the categorization of investments by inputs used as of May 31, 2009 in valuing the Fund’s investments:

The Fund held no investments or other financial instruments at either February 28, 2009 or May 31, 2009, whose fair value was determined using Level 3 inputs.

 

Futures contracts

 

The Fund may purchase and sell futures contracts.  A futures contract is a contract that obligates the holder to buy or sell an asset at a predetermined delivery price during a specified future time period.  Some futures contracts are net (cash) settled. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to deposit cash, U.S. government and agency obligations, or other liquid assets with the futures clearing broker in accordance with the initial margin requirements of the broker or exchange.  Futures contracts are marked to market daily and an appropriate payable or receivable for the change in value (“variation margin”) is recorded by the Fund.  The payable or receivable is settled on the following business day.  Gains or losses are recognized but not considered realized until the contracts expire or are closed.  Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of the

 



 

variation margin.  Under some circumstances, futures exchanges may establish daily limits on the amount that the price of a futures contract can vary from the previous day’s settlement price, thereby effectively preventing liquidation of unfavorable positions.  Losses may arise from changes in the value of the underlying instrument if the Fund is unable to liquidate a futures position due to an illiquid market for the contract, the imposition of price limits or the failure of counterparty to perform under the contract terms.  Futures contracts are generally valued at the settlement price established at the close of business each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded.

 

Swap agreements

 

The Fund may enter into various types of swap agreements, including without limitation, swaps on securities and securities indices, interest rate swaps, total return swaps, credit default swaps, variance swaps, commodity swaps, inflation swaps and other types of available swaps.  A swap agreement is an agreement to exchange the return generated by one instrument for the return generated by another instrument.  Some swap contracts are net settled. When entering into a swap agreement, the Fund and/or the swap counterparty may post or receive cash or securities as collateral and will typically post or receive additional collateral as market values change.

 

Interest rate swap agreements involve an exchange by the parties of their respective commitments to pay or right to receive interest, e.g., an exchange of floating rate interest payments for fixed rate interest payments with respect to the notional amount of principal.

 

Total return swap agreements involve a commitment by one party to pay interest to the other party in exchange for a payment to it from the other party based on the return of a reference instrument (e.g., a security or basket of securities), both based on notional amounts. To the extent the return of the reference instrument exceeds or falls short of the interest payments, one party will receive a payment from or make a payment to the other party.

 

In a credit default swap agreement, one party makes payments to another party in exchange for the right to receive a specified return if a credit event occurs with respect to a referenced entity or entities.  Buying credit default protection reduces the buyer’s exposure (or increases negative exposure) in the event of an issuer’s default (e.g., it is intended to reduce risk where a party owns a security issued by or otherwise has exposure to the issuer).  Selling credit default protection subjects the seller to exposure to an issuer’s default or other credit events.  A seller of credit default protection receives payments in return for its obligation to pay the principal amount of a debt security (or other agreed-upon value) to the other party upon the occurrence of a credit event (e.g., issuer default or similar event).  If no credit event occurs, the seller has no payment obligations.  For credit default swap agreements on asset-backed securities, a credit event may be triggered by various events, which may include an issuer’s failure to pay interest or principal, a breach of a material representation or covenant, an agreement by the holders of an asset-backed security to a maturity extension, or a write-down on the collateral underlying the security.  For credit default swap agreements on corporate or sovereign issuers, a credit event may be triggered by such events as the issuer’s bankruptcy, failure to pay interest or principal, repudiation/moratorium or restructuring.

 

Variance swap agreements involve an agreement by two parties to exchange cash flows based on the measured variance (or square of volatility) of a specified underlying asset. One party agrees to exchange a “fixed rate” or strike price payment for the “floating rate” or realized price variance on the underlying asset with respect to the notional amount. At inception, the strike price chosen is generally fixed at a level such that the fair value of the swap is zero. As a result, no money changes hands at the initiation of the contract. At the expiration date, the amount paid by one party to the other is the difference between the realized price variance of the underlying asset and the strike price multiplied by the notional amount. A receiver of the realized price variance would receive a payment when the realized price variance of the underlying asset is greater than the strike price and would make a payment when that variance is less than the strike price. A payer of the realized price variance would make a payment when the realized price variance of the underlying asset is greater than the strike price and would receive a payment when that variance is less than the strike price. This type of agreement is essentially a forward contract on the future realized price variance of the underlying asset.

 

The Fund prices its swap agreements daily using models that may incorporate quotations from market makers and records the change in value, if any, as unrealized gain or loss.  Payments received or made on swap agreements are recorded as realized gain or loss.  Gains or losses are realized upon termination of the swap agreements, or reset dates as appropriate.

 

Swap agreements generally are not traded on financial markets. The values assigned to them may differ significantly from the values that would be realized upon termination, and the differences could be material. Entering into swap agreements involves counterparty credit, legal, and documentation risk that is generally not reflected in the models used to price the swap agreement.  Such risks include the possibility that the party with whom the Fund contracts may default on its obligations to perform or disagree as to the meaning of contractual terms, that the Fund has amounts on deposit in excess of amounts owed by the Fund, or that the collateral the other party posts may be insufficient or not timely received by the Fund.  Specifically, the amount shown as owed to the Fund under a swap agreement is not reduced if there is uncertainty about the counterparty’s willingness or ability to pay.  Credit risk is particularly acute in economic environments in which financial services firms are exposed to systemic risks of the type evidenced by the insolvency of Lehman Brothers in 2008 and subsequent market disruptions.

 

Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities–Effective March 1, 2009, the Fund adopted FASB Statement of Financial Standards No. 161 “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS 161”). This standard is an amendment to FASB Statement No. 133 (“FASB 133”), “Accounting for Derivative Instruments” which expands the disclosure requirements of FASB 133 regarding an entity’s derivative instruments and hedging activities.

^^ As the Fund values its derivatives at fair value and recognizes changes in fair value through the statement of operations, it does not qualify for hedge accounting under FASB 133. The Fund’s investments in derivatives may represent an economic hedge; however, they are considered to be non-hedge transactions for the purpose of SFAS 161 disclosure.

 

The amounts above correspond with amounts in the Schedule of Investments for “Futures Contracts”.

Portfolio valuation

 

Securities listed on a securities exchange for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price on each business day, or if there is no such reported sale or official closing price, at the most recent quoted bid price, or broker bid (if the private market is more relevant in determining market value than the exchange).  Unlisted securities for which market quotations are readily available are generally valued at the most recent quoted bid price.  Debt instruments with a remaining maturity of sixty days or less are generally valued at amortized cost.  Shares of investment funds are generally valued at their net asset value.  Securities for which quotations are not readily available or whose values the Manager has determined to be unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Trustees or persons acting at their direction pursuant to procedures approved by the Trustees.  Although the goal of fair valuation is to determine the amount the owner of the securities might reasonably expect to receive upon their current sale, because of the uncertainty inherent in fair value pricing, the value determined for a particular security may be materially different than the value realized upon its sale.  For information about the pricing of some specific positions (e.g. swaps) see descriptions below.

 

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS 157”). While the adoption of SFAS 157 does not have an effect on the Fund’s net asset value, it does require additional disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 establishes a three-level hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements. The valuation hierarchy is based upon the reliability of inputs to the valuation of the Fund’s investments. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.  The three levels are defined as follows:

 

Level 1 – Valuations based on quoted prices for identical securities in active markets.

 

Level 2 – Valuations determined using other significant direct or indirect observable inputs.

 

Level 3 – Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant.

The Fund held no investments or other financial instruments at either February 28, 2009 or May 31, 2009, whose fair value was determined using Level 3 inputs.

 

Futures contracts

 

The Fund may purchase and sell futures contracts.  A futures contract is a contract that obligates the holder to buy or sell an asset at a predetermined delivery price during a specified future time period.  Some futures contracts are net (cash) settled. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to deposit cash, U.S. government and agency obligations, or other liquid assets with the futures clearing broker in accordance with the initial margin requirements of the broker or exchange.  Futures contracts are marked to market daily and an appropriate payable or receivable for the change in value (“variation margin”) is recorded by the Fund.  The payable or receivable is settled on the following business day.  Gains or losses are recognized but not considered realized until the contracts expire or are closed.  Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of the

 



 

variation margin.  Under some circumstances, futures exchanges may establish daily limits on the amount that the price of a futures contract can vary from the previous day’s settlement price, thereby effectively preventing liquidation of unfavorable positions.  Losses may arise from changes in the value of the underlying instrument if the Fund is unable to liquidate a futures position due to an illiquid market for the contract, the imposition of price limits or the failure of counterparty to perform under the contract terms.  Futures contracts are generally valued at the settlement price established at the close of business each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded.

 

Swap agreements

 

The Fund may enter into various types of swap agreements, including without limitation, swaps on securities and securities indices, interest rate swaps, total return swaps, credit default swaps, variance swaps, commodity swaps, inflation swaps and other types of available swaps.  A swap agreement is an agreement to exchange the return generated by one instrument for the return generated by another instrument.  Some swap contracts are net settled. When entering into a swap agreement, the Fund and/or the swap counterparty may post or receive cash or securities as collateral and will typically post or receive additional collateral as market values change.

 

Interest rate swap agreements involve an exchange by the parties of their respective commitments to pay or right to receive interest, e.g., an exchange of floating rate interest payments for fixed rate interest payments with respect to the notional amount of principal.

 

Total return swap agreements involve a commitment by one party to pay interest to the other party in exchange for a payment to it from the other party based on the return of a reference instrument (e.g., a security or basket of securities), both based on notional amounts. To the extent the return of the reference instrument exceeds or falls short of the interest payments, one party will receive a payment from or make a payment to the other party.

 

In a credit default swap agreement, one party makes payments to another party in exchange for the right to receive a specified return if a credit event occurs with respect to a referenced entity or entities.  Buying credit default protection reduces the buyer’s exposure (or increases negative exposure) in the event of an issuer’s default (e.g., it is intended to reduce risk where a party owns a security issued by or otherwise has exposure to the issuer).  Selling credit default protection subjects the seller to exposure to an issuer’s default or other credit events.  A seller of credit default protection receives payments in return for its obligation to pay the principal amount of a debt security (or other agreed-upon value) to the other party upon the occurrence of a credit event (e.g., issuer default or similar event).  If no credit event occurs, the seller has no payment obligations.  For credit default swap agreements on asset-backed securities, a credit event may be triggered by various events, which may include an issuer’s failure to pay interest or principal, a breach of a material representation or covenant, an agreement by the holders of an asset-backed security to a maturity extension, or a write-down on the collateral underlying the security.  For credit default swap agreements on corporate or sovereign issuers, a credit event may be triggered by such events as the issuer’s bankruptcy, failure to pay interest or principal, repudiation/moratorium or restructuring.

 

Variance swap agreements involve an agreement by two parties to exchange cash flows based on the measured variance (or square of volatility) of a specified underlying asset. One party agrees to exchange a “fixed rate” or strike price payment for the “floating rate” or realized price variance on the underlying asset with respect to the notional amount. At inception, the strike price chosen is generally fixed at a level such that the fair value of the swap is zero. As a result, no money changes hands at the initiation of the contract. At the expiration date, the amount paid by one party to the other is the difference between the realized price variance of the underlying asset and the strike price multiplied by the notional amount. A receiver of the realized price variance would receive a payment when the realized price variance of the underlying asset is greater than the strike price and would make a payment when that variance is less than the strike price. A payer of the realized price variance would make a payment when the realized price variance of the underlying asset is greater than the strike price and would receive a payment when that variance is less than the strike price. This type of agreement is essentially a forward contract on the future realized price variance of the underlying asset.

 

The Fund prices its swap agreements daily using models that may incorporate quotations from market makers and records the change in value, if any, as unrealized gain or loss.  Payments received or made on swap agreements are recorded as realized gain or loss.  Gains or losses are realized upon termination of the swap agreements, or reset dates as appropriate.

 

Swap agreements generally are not traded on financial markets. The values assigned to them may differ significantly from the values that would be realized upon termination, and the differences could be material. Entering into swap agreements involves counterparty credit, legal, and documentation risk that is generally not reflected in the models used to price the swap agreement.  Such risks include the possibility that the party with whom the Fund contracts may default on its obligations to perform or disagree as to the meaning of contractual terms, that the Fund has amounts on deposit in excess of amounts owed by the Fund, or that the collateral the other party posts may be insufficient or not timely received by the Fund.  Specifically, the amount shown as owed to the Fund under a swap agreement is not reduced if there is uncertainty about the counterparty’s willingness or ability to pay.  Credit risk is particularly acute in economic environments in which financial services firms are exposed to systemic risks of the type evidenced by the insolvency of Lehman Brothers in 2008 and subsequent market disruptions.

 

Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities—Effective March 1, 2009, the Fund adopted FASB Statement of Financial Standards No. 161 “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS 161”). This standard is an amendment to FASB Statement No. 133 (“FASB 133”), “Accounting for Derivative Instruments” which expands the disclosure requirements of FASB 133 regarding an entity’s derivative instruments and hedging activities.

^^ As the Fund values its derivatives at fair value and recognizes changes in fair value through the statement of operations, it does not qualify for hedge accounting under FASB 133.  The Fund’s investments in derivatives may represent an economic hedge; however, they are considered to be non-hedge transactions for the purpose of SFAS 161 disclosure.

 

The amounts above correspond with amounts in the Schedule of Investments for “Futures Contracts”.

Portfolio valuation

 

Securities listed on a securities exchange for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price on each business day, or if there is no such reported sale or official closing price, at the most recent quoted bid price, or broker bid (if the private market is more relevant in determining market value than the exchange).  Unlisted securities for which market quotations are readily available are generally valued at the most recent quoted bid price.  Debt instruments with a remaining maturity of sixty days or less are generally valued at amortized cost.  Shares of investment funds are generally valued at their net asset value.  Securities for which quotations are not readily available or whose values the Manager has determined to be unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Trustees or persons acting at their direction pursuant to procedures approved by the Trustees.  Although the goal of fair valuation is to determine the amount the owner of the securities might reasonably expect to receive upon their current sale, because of the uncertainty inherent in fair value pricing, the value determined for a particular security may be materially different than the value realized upon its sale.  For information about the pricing of some specific positions (e.g. swaps) see descriptions below.

 

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS 157”). While the adoption of SFAS 157 does not have an effect on the Fund’s net asset value, it does require additional disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 establishes a three-level hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements. The valuation hierarchy is based upon the reliability of inputs to the valuation of the Fund’s investments. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.  The three levels are defined as follows:

 

Level 1 – Valuations based on quoted prices for identical securities in active markets.

 

Level 2 – Valuations determined using other significant direct or indirect observable inputs.

 

Level 3 – Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant.

 

The following is a summary of the categorization of investments by inputs used as of May 31, 2009 in valuing the Fund’s investments:

The Fund held no investments or other financial instruments at either February 28, 2009 or May 31, 2009, whose fair value was determined using Level 3 inputs.

 

Futures contracts

 

The Fund may purchase and sell futures contracts.  A futures contract is a contract that obligates the holder to buy or sell an asset at a predetermined delivery price during a specified future time period.  Some futures contracts are net (cash) settled. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to deposit cash, U.S. government and agency obligations, or other liquid assets with the futures clearing broker in accordance with the initial margin requirements of the broker or exchange.  Futures contracts are marked to market daily and an appropriate payable or receivable for the change in value (“variation margin”) is recorded by the Fund.  The payable or receivable is settled on the following business day.  Gains or losses are recognized but not considered realized until the contracts expire or are closed.  Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of the

 



 

variation margin.  Under some circumstances, futures exchanges may establish daily limits on the amount that the price of a futures contract can vary from the previous day’s settlement price, thereby effectively preventing liquidation of unfavorable positions.  Losses may arise from changes in the value of the underlying instrument if the Fund is unable to liquidate a futures position due to an illiquid market for the contract, the imposition of price limits or the failure of counterparty to perform under the contract terms.  Futures contracts are generally valued at the settlement price established at the close of business each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded.

 

Swap agreements

 

The Fund may enter into various types of swap agreements, including without limitation, swaps on securities and securities indices, interest rate swaps, total return swaps, credit default swaps, variance swaps, commodity swaps, inflation swaps and other types of available swaps.  A swap agreement is an agreement to exchange the return generated by one instrument for the return generated by another instrument.  Some swap contracts are net settled. When entering into a swap agreement, the Fund and/or the swap counterparty may post or receive cash or securities as collateral and will typically post or receive additional collateral as market values change.

 

Interest rate swap agreements involve an exchange by the parties of their respective commitments to pay or right to receive interest, e.g., an exchange of floating rate interest payments for fixed rate interest payments with respect to the notional amount of principal.

 

Total return swap agreements involve a commitment by one party to pay interest to the other party in exchange for a payment to it from the other party based on the return of a reference instrument (e.g., a security or basket of securities), both based on notional amounts. To the extent the return of the reference instrument exceeds or falls short of the interest payments, one party will receive a payment from or make a payment to the other party.

 

In a credit default swap agreement, one party makes payments to another party in exchange for the right to receive a specified return if a credit event occurs with respect to a referenced entity or entities.  Buying credit default protection reduces the buyer’s exposure (or increases negative exposure) in the event of an issuer’s default (e.g., it is intended to reduce risk where a party owns a security issued by or otherwise has exposure to the issuer).  Selling credit default protection subjects the seller to exposure to an issuer’s default or other credit events.  A seller of credit default protection receives payments in return for its obligation to pay the principal amount of a debt security (or other agreed-upon value) to the other party upon the occurrence of a credit event (e.g., issuer default or similar event).  If no credit event occurs, the seller has no payment obligations.  For credit default swap agreements on asset-backed securities, a credit event may be triggered by various events, which may include an issuer’s failure to pay interest or principal, a breach of a material representation or covenant, an agreement by the holders of an asset-backed security to a maturity extension, or a write-down on the collateral underlying the security. For credit default swap agreements on corporate or sovereign issuers, a credit event may be triggered by such events as the issuer’s bankruptcy, failure to pay interest or principal, repudiation/moratorium or restructuring.

 

Variance swap agreements involve an agreement by two parties to exchange cash flows based on the measured variance (or square of volatility) of a specified underlying asset. One party agrees to exchange a “fixed rate” or strike price payment for the “floating rate” or realized price variance on the underlying asset with respect to the notional amount. At inception, the strike price chosen is generally fixed at a level such that the fair value of the swap is zero. As a result, no money changes hands at the initiation of the contract. At the expiration date, the amount paid by one party to the other is the difference between the realized price variance of the underlying asset and the strike price multiplied by the notional amount. A receiver of the realized price variance would receive a payment when the realized price variance of the underlying asset is greater than the strike price and would make a payment when that variance is less than the strike price. A payer of the realized price variance would make a payment when the realized price variance of the underlying asset is greater than the strike price and would receive a payment when that variance is less than the strike price. This type of agreement is essentially a forward contract on the future realized price variance of the underlying asset.

 

The Fund prices its swap agreements daily using models that may incorporate quotations from market makers and records the change in value, if any, as unrealized gain or loss.  Payments received or made on swap agreements are recorded as realized gain or loss.  Gains or losses are realized upon termination of the swap agreements, or reset dates as appropriate.

 

Swap agreements generally are not traded on financial markets. The values assigned to them may differ significantly from the values that would be realized upon termination, and the differences could be material. Entering into swap agreements involves counterparty credit, legal, and documentation risk that is generally not reflected in the models used to price the swap agreement.  Such risks include the possibility that the party with whom the Fund contracts may default on its obligations to perform or disagree as to the meaning of contractual terms, that the Fund has amounts on deposit in excess of amounts owed by the Fund, or that the collateral the other party posts may be insufficient or not timely received by the Fund.  Specifically, the amount shown as owed to the Fund under a swap agreement is not reduced if there is uncertainty about the counterparty’s willingness or ability to pay. Credit risk is particularly acute in economic environments in which financial services firms are exposed to systemic risks of the type evidenced by the insolvency of Lehman Brothers in 2008 and subsequent market disruptions.

 

Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities—Effective March 1, 2009, the Fund adopted FASB Statement of Financial Standards No. 161 “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS 161”). This standard is an amendment to FASB Statement No. 133 (“FASB 133”), “Accounting for Derivative Instruments” which expands the disclosure requirements of FASB 133 regarding an entity’s derivative instruments and hedging activities.

^^ As the Fund values its derivatives at fair value and recognizes changes in fair value through the statement of operations, it does not qualify for hedge accounting under FASB 133.  The Fund’s investments in derivatives may represent an economic hedge; however, they are considered to be non-hedge transactions for the purpose of SFAS 161 disclosure.

 

The amounts above correspond with amounts in the Schedule of Investments for “Futures Contracts”.

Portfolio valuation

 

Securities listed on a securities exchange for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price on each business day, or if there is no such reported sale or official closing price, at the most recent quoted bid price, or broker bid (if the private market is more relevant in determining market value than the exchange).  Unlisted securities for which market quotations are readily available are generally valued at the most recent quoted bid price.  Debt instruments with a remaining maturity of sixty days or less are generally valued at amortized cost.  Shares of investment funds are generally valued at their net asset value.  Securities for which quotations are not readily available or whose values the Manager has determined to be unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Trustees or persons acting at their direction pursuant to procedures approved by the Trustees.  Although the goal of fair valuation is to determine the amount the owner of the securities might reasonably expect to receive upon their current sale, because of the uncertainty inherent in fair value pricing, the value determined for a particular security may be materially different than the value realized upon its sale.

 

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS 157”). While the adoption of SFAS 157 does not have an effect on the Fund’s net asset value, it does require additional disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 establishes a three-level hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements. The valuation hierarchy is based upon the reliability of inputs to the valuation of the Fund’s investments. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.  The three levels are defined as follows:

 

Level 1 – Valuations based on quoted prices for identical securities in active markets.

 

Level 2 – Valuations determined using other significant direct or indirect observable inputs.

 

Level 3 – Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant.

 

The following is a summary of the categorization of investments by inputs used as of May 31, 2009 in valuing the Fund’s investments:

Rights and Warrants

 

A Fund may purchase or otherwise receive warrants or rights. Warrants and rights generally give the holder the right to receive, upon exercise, a security of the issuer at a stated price. Funds typically use warrants and rights in a manner similar to their use of options on securities, as described in Options below. Risks associated with the use of warrants and rights are generally similar to risks associated with the use of options. Unlike most options, however, warrants and rights are issued in specific amounts, and warrants generally have longer terms than options. Warrants and rights are not likely to be as liquid as exchange-traded options backed by a recognized clearing agency. In addition, the terms of warrants or rights may limit a Fund’s ability to exercise the warrants or rights at such time, or in such quantities, as the Fund would otherwise wish.

 

Futures contracts

 

The Fund may purchase and sell futures contracts.  A futures contract is a contract that obligates the holder to buy or sell an asset at a predetermined delivery price during a specified future time period.  Some futures contracts are net (cash) settled. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to deposit cash, U.S. government and agency obligations, or other liquid assets with the futures clearing broker in accordance with the initial margin requirements of the broker or exchange.  Futures contracts are marked to market daily and an appropriate payable or receivable for the change in value (“variation margin”) is recorded by the Fund.  The payable or receivable is settled on the following business day.  Gains or losses are recognized but not considered realized until the contracts expire or are closed.  Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of the variation margin.  Under some circumstances, futures exchanges may establish daily limits on the amount that the price of a futures contract can vary from the previous day’s settlement price, thereby effectively preventing liquidation of unfavorable positions.  Losses may arise from changes in the value of the underlying instrument if the Fund is unable to liquidate a futures position due to an illiquid market for the contract, the imposition of price limits or the failure of counterparty to perform under the contract terms.  Futures contracts are

 



 

generally valued at the settlement price established at the close of business each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded.

 

Swap agreements

 

The Fund may enter into various types of swap agreements, including without limitation, swaps on securities and securities indices, interest rate swaps, total return swaps, credit default swaps, variance swaps, commodity swaps, inflation swaps and other types of available swaps.  A swap agreement is an agreement to exchange the return generated by one instrument for the return generated by another instrument.  Some swap contracts are net settled. When entering into a swap agreement, the Fund and/or the swap counterparty may post or receive cash or securities as collateral and will typically post or receive additional collateral as market values change.

 

Interest rate swap agreements involve an exchange by the parties of their respective commitments to pay or right to receive interest, e.g., an exchange of floating rate interest payments for fixed rate interest payments with respect to the notional amount of principal.

 

Total return swap agreements involve a commitment by one party to pay interest to the other party in exchange for a payment to it from the other party based on the return of a reference instrument (e.g., a security or basket of securities), both based on notional amounts. To the extent the return of the reference instrument exceeds or falls short of the interest payments, one party will receive a payment from or make a payment to the other party.

 

In a credit default swap agreement, one party makes payments to another party in exchange for the right to receive a specified return if a credit event occurs with respect to a referenced entity or entities.  Buying credit default protection reduces the buyer’s exposure (or increases negative exposure) in the event of an issuer’s default (e.g., it is intended to reduce risk where a party owns a security issued by or otherwise has exposure to the issuer).  Selling credit default protection subjects the seller to exposure to an issuer’s default or other credit events.  A seller of credit default protection receives payments in return for its obligation to pay the principal amount of a debt security (or other agreed-upon value) to the other party upon the occurrence of a credit event (e.g., issuer default or similar event).  If no credit event occurs, the seller has no payment obligations.  For credit default swap agreements on asset-backed securities, a credit event may be triggered by various events, which may include an issuer’s failure to pay interest or principal, a breach of a material representation or covenant, an agreement by the holders of an asset-backed security to a maturity extension, or a write-down on the collateral underlying the security.  For credit default swap agreements on corporate or sovereign issuers, a credit event may be triggered by such events as the issuer’s bankruptcy, failure to pay interest or principal, repudiation/moratorium or restructuring.

 

Variance swap agreements involve an agreement by two parties to exchange cash flows based on the measured variance (or square of volatility) of a specified underlying asset. One party agrees to exchange a “fixed rate” or strike price payment for the “floating rate” or realized price variance on the underlying asset with respect to the notional amount. At inception, the strike price chosen is generally fixed at a level such that the fair value of the swap is zero. As a result, no money changes hands at the initiation of the contract. At the expiration date, the amount paid by one party to the other is the difference between the realized price variance of the underlying asset and the strike price multiplied by the notional amount. A receiver of the realized price variance would receive a payment when the realized price variance of the underlying asset is greater than the strike price and would make a payment when that variance is less than the strike price. A payer of the realized price variance would make a payment when the realized price variance of the underlying asset is greater than the strike price and would receive a payment when that variance is less than the strike price. This type of agreement is essentially a forward contract on the future realized price variance of the underlying asset.

 

The Fund prices its swap agreements daily using models that may incorporate quotations from market makers and records the change in value, if any, as unrealized gain or loss.  Payments received or made on swap agreements are recorded as realized gain or loss.  Gains or losses are realized upon termination of the swap agreements, or reset dates as appropriate.

 

Swap agreements generally are not traded on financial markets. The values assigned to them may differ significantly from the values that would be realized upon termination, and the differences could be material. Entering into swap agreements involves counterparty credit, legal, and documentation risk that is generally not reflected in the models used to price the swap agreement.  Such risks include the possibility that the party with whom the Fund contracts may default on its obligations to perform or disagree as to the meaning of contractual terms, that the Fund has amounts on deposit in excess of amounts owed by the Fund, or that the collateral the other party posts may be insufficient or not timely received by the Fund.  Specifically, the amount shown as owed to the Fund under a swap agreement is not reduced if there is uncertainty about the counterparty’s willingness or ability to pay.  Credit risk is particularly acute in economic environments in which financial services firms are exposed to systemic risks of the type evidenced by the insolvency of Lehman Brothers in 2008 and subsequent market disruptions.

 



 

Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities–Effective March 1, 2009, the Fund adopted FASB Statement of Financial Standards No. 161 “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS 161”). This standard is an amendment to FASB Statement No. 133 (“FASB 133”), “Accounting for Derivative Instruments” which expands the disclosure requirements of FASB 133 regarding an entity’s derivative instruments and hedging activities.

 

The Fund adopted SFAS 161 on March 1, 2009.  As of May 31, 2009, the Fund held no derivative contracts for the purposes of SFAS 161.

Portfolio valuation

 

Securities listed on a securities exchange for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price on each business day, or if there is no such reported sale or official closing price, at the most recent quoted bid price, or broker bid (if the private market is more relevant in determining market value than the exchange).  Unlisted securities for which market quotations are readily available are generally valued at the most recent quoted bid price.  Debt instruments with a remaining maturity of sixty days or less are generally valued at amortized cost.  Shares of investment funds are generally valued at their net asset value.  Securities for which quotations are not readily available or whose values the Manager has determined to be unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Trustees or persons acting at their direction pursuant to procedures approved by the Trustees.  Although the goal of fair valuation is to determine the amount the owner of the securities might reasonably expect to receive upon their current sale, because of the uncertainty inherent in fair value pricing, the value determined for a particular security may be materially different than the value realized upon its sale.  For information about the pricing of some specific positions (e.g. swaps) see descriptions below.  Because many foreign equity securities markets and exchanges close prior to the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), closing prices for foreign securities in those markets or on those exchanges do not reflect the events that occur after that close but before the close of the NYSE.  As a result, the Fund generally values foreign equity securities as of the NYSE close using fair value prices, which are based on adjustments to closing prices supplied by a third party vendor using that vendor’s proprietary models.  As of May 31, 2009, 3.41% of the net assets of the Fund were valued using fair value prices based on models used by that third party vendor and are classified as using level 2 inputs in the table below.

 

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS 157”). While the adoption of SFAS 157 does not have an effect on the Fund’s net asset value, it does require additional disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 establishes a three-level hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements. The valuation hierarchy is based upon the reliability of inputs to the valuation of the Fund’s investments. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.  The three levels are defined as follows:

 

Level 1 – Valuations based on quoted prices for identical securities in active markets.

 

Level 2 – Valuations determined using other significant direct or indirect observable inputs.

 

Level 3 – Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant.

 

The following is a summary of the categorization of investments by inputs used as of May 31, 2009 in valuing the Fund’s investments:

The Fund held no investments or other financial instruments at either February 28, 2009 or May 31, 2009, whose fair value was determined using Level 3 inputs.

 

Foreign currency translation

 

The market values of foreign securities, currency holdings and related assets and liabilities are translated to U.S. dollars based on the 4 p.m. New York time exchange rates each business day.  Income and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the 4 p.m. New York time exchange rates on the business day the income and expenses are accrued or incurred.  The Fund does not isolate realized and unrealized gains and losses attributable to changes in exchange rates from gains and losses that arise from changes in the market value

 



 

of investments.  Such fluctuations are included with net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments.  Net realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions represent gains and losses on disposition of currencies and forward currency contracts, currency gains and losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amount of investment income and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s accounting records and the U.S. dollar equivalent amounts actually received or paid.

 

Forward currency contracts

 

The Fund may enter into forward currency contracts, including forward cross currency contracts.  A forward currency contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell a currency at a set price on a future date (or to pay or receive the amounts of the change in relative values of the two currencies).  The market value of a forward currency contract fluctuates with changes in forward currency exchange rates.  Forward currency contracts are marked to market daily using rates supplied by a quotation service and changes in value are recorded by the Fund as unrealized gains or losses.  Realized gains or losses on the contracts are 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.  These contracts involve market risk in excess of the unrealized gain or loss.  They expose the Fund to the risk of unfavorable movements in currency values and the risk that the counterparty will be unable or unwilling to meet the terms of the contracts.

 

Futures contracts

 

The Fund may purchase and sell futures contracts.  A futures contract is a contract that obligates the holder to buy or sell an asset at a predetermined delivery price during a specified future time period.  Some futures contracts are net (cash) settled. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to deposit cash, U.S. government and agency obligations, or other liquid assets with the futures clearing broker in accordance with the initial margin requirements of the broker or exchange.  Futures contracts are marked to market daily and an appropriate payable or receivable for the change in value (“variation margin”) is recorded by the Fund.  The payable or receivable is settled on the following business day.  Gains or losses are recognized but not considered realized until the contracts expire or are closed.  Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of the variation margin.  Under some circumstances, futures exchanges may establish daily limits on the amount that the price of a futures contract can vary from the previous day’s settlement price, thereby effectively preventing liquidation of unfavorable positions.  Losses may arise from changes in the value of the underlying instrument if the Fund is unable to liquidate a futures position due to an illiquid market for the contract, the imposition of price limits or the failure of counterparty to perform under the contract terms.  Futures contracts are generally valued at the settlement price established at the close of business each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded.

 

Swap agreements

 

The Fund may enter into various types of swap agreements, including without limitation, swaps on securities and securities indicies, interest rate swaps, total return swaps, credit default swaps, variance swaps, commodity swaps, inflation swaps and other types of available swaps.  A swap agreement is an agreement to exchange the return generated by one instrument for the return generated by another instrument.  Some swap contracts are net settled. When entering into a swap agreement, the Fund and/or the swap counterparty may post or receive cash or securities as collateral and will typically post or receive additional collateral as market values change.

 

Interest rate swap agreements involve an exchange by the parties of their respective commitments to pay or right to receive interest, e.g., an exchange of floating rate interest payments for fixed rate interest payments with respect to the notional amount of principal.

 

Total return swap agreements involve a commitment by one party to pay interest to the other party in exchange for a payment to it from the other party based on the return of a reference instrument (e.g., a security or basket of securities), both based on notional amounts. To the extent the return of the reference instrument exceeds or falls short of the interest payments, one party will receive a payment from or make a payment to the other party.

 

In a credit default swap agreement, one party makes payments to another party in exchange for the right to receive a specified return if a credit event occurs with respect to a referenced entity or entities.  Buying credit default protection reduces the buyer’s exposure (or increases negative exposure) in the event of an issuer’s default (e.g., it is intended to reduce risk where a party owns a security issued by or otherwise has exposure to the issuer).  Selling credit default protection subjects the seller to exposure to an issuer’s default or other credit events.  A seller of credit default protection receives payments in return for its obligation to pay the principal amount of a debt security (or other agreed-upon value) to the other party upon the occurrence of a credit event (e.g., issuer default or similar event).  If no credit event occurs, the seller has no payment obligations.    For credit default swap agreements on asset-backed securities, a credit event may be triggered by various events, which may include an issuer’s failure to pay interest or principal, a breach of a material representation or covenant, an agreement by the holders of an asset-backed security to a maturity extension, or a write-down on the collateral underlying the security. For credit default swap agreements on corporate or sovereign issuers, a credit event may be triggered by such events as the issuer’s bankruptcy, failure to pay interest or principal, repudiation/moratorium or restructuring.

 

Variance swap agreements involve an agreement by two parties to exchange cash flows based on the measured variance (or square of volatility) of a specified underlying asset. One party agrees to exchange a “fixed rate” or strike price payment for the “floating rate” or

 



 

realized price variance on the underlying asset with respect to the notional amount. At inception, the strike price chosen is generally fixed at a level such that the fair value of the swap is zero. As a result, no money changes hands at the initiation of the contract. At the expiration date, the amount paid by one party to the other is the difference between the realized price variance of the underlying asset and the strike price multiplied by the notional amount. A receiver of the realized price variance would receive a payment when the realized price variance of the underlying asset is greater than the strike price and would make a payment when that variance is less than the strike price. A payer of the realized price variance would make a payment when the realized price variance of the underlying asset is greater than the strike price and would receive a payment when that variance is less than the strike price. This type of agreement is essentially a forward contract on the future realized price variance of the underlying asset.

 

The Fund prices its swap agreements daily using models that may incorporate quotations from market makers and records the change in value, if any, as unrealized gain or loss.  Payments received or made on swap agreements are recorded as realized gain or loss.  Gains or losses are realized upon termination of the swap agreements, or reset dates as appropriate.

 

Swap agreements generally are not traded on financial markets. The values assigned to them may differ significantly from the values that would be realized upon termination, and the differences could be material. Entering into swap agreements involves counterparty credit, legal, and documentation risk that is generally not reflected in the models used to price the swap agreement.  Such risks include the possibility that the party with whom the Fund contracts may default on its obligations to perform or disagree as to the meaning of contractual terms, that the Fund has amounts on deposit in excess of amounts owed by the Fund, or that the collateral the other party posts may be insufficient or not timely received by the Fund.  Specifically, the amount shown as owed to the Fund under a swap agreement is not reduced if there is uncertainty about the counterparty’s willingness or ability to pay. Credit risk is particularly acute in economic environments in which financial services firms are exposed to systemic risks of the type evidenced by the insolvency of Lehman Brothers in 2008 and subsequent market disruptions.

 

Investment risks

 

The Fund is subject to risks involved in investing in foreign securities that are not presented by investments in U.S. securities. These risks may involve adverse political and economic developments, including expropriation and the possible imposition of capital controls or other foreign governmental laws or restrictions. In addition, the securities of some foreign companies and securities markets are less liquid and at times may be more volatile than securities of comparable U.S. companies and U.S. securities markets.

 

Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities—Effective March 1, 2009, the Fund adopted FASB Statement of Financial Standards No. 161 “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS 161”). This standard is an amendment to FASB Statement No. 133 (“FASB 133”), “Accounting for Derivative Instruments” which expands the disclosure requirements of FASB 133 regarding an entity’s derivative instruments and hedging activities.

^^ As the Fund values its derivatives at fair value and recognizes changes in fair value through the statement of operations, it does not qualify for hedge accounting under FASB 133.  The Fund’s investments in derivatives may represent an economic hedge; however, they are considered to be non-hedge transactions for the purpose of SFAS 161 disclosure.

Portfolio valuation

 

Securities listed on a securities exchange for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price on each business day, or if there is no such reported sale or official closing price, at the most recent quoted bid price, or broker bid (if the private market is more relevant in determining market value than the exchange).  Unlisted securities for which market quotations are readily available are generally valued at the most recent quoted bid price.  Debt instruments with a remaining maturity of sixty days or less are generally valued at amortized cost.  Shares of investment funds are generally valued at their net asset value.  Securities for which quotations are not readily available or whose values the Manager has determined to be unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Trustees or persons acting at their direction pursuant to procedures approved by the Trustees.  Although the goal of fair valuation is to determine the amount the owner of the securities might reasonably expect to receive upon their current sale, because of the uncertainty inherent in fair value pricing, the value determined for a particular security may be materially different than the value realized upon its sale.  For information about the pricing of some specific positions (e.g. swaps) see descriptions below.

 

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS 157”). While the adoption of SFAS 157 does not have an effect on the Fund’s net asset value, it does require additional disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 establishes a three-level hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements. The valuation hierarchy is based upon the reliability of inputs to the valuation of the Fund’s investments. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.  The three levels are defined as follows:

 

Level 1 – Valuations based on quoted prices for identical securities in active markets.

 

Level 2 – Valuations determined using other significant direct or indirect observable inputs.

The Fund held no investments or other financial instruments at either February 28, 2009 or May 31, 2009, whose fair value was determined using Level 3 inputs.

 

Futures contracts

 

The Fund may purchase and sell futures contracts.  A futures contract is a contract that obligates the holder to buy or sell an asset at a predetermined delivery price during a specified future time period.  Some futures contracts are net (cash) settled. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to deposit cash, U.S. government and agency obligations, or other liquid assets with the futures clearing broker in accordance with the initial margin requirements of the broker or exchange.  Futures contracts are marked to market daily and an appropriate payable or receivable for the change in value (“variation margin”) is recorded by the Fund.  The payable or receivable is settled on the following business day.  Gains or losses are recognized but not

 



 

considered realized until the contracts expire or are closed.  Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of the variation margin.  Under some circumstances, futures exchanges may establish daily limits on the amount that the price of a futures contract can vary from the previous day’s settlement price, thereby effectively preventing liquidation of unfavorable positions.  Losses may arise from changes in the value of the underlying instrument if the Fund is unable to liquidate a futures position due to an illiquid market for the contract, the imposition of price limits or the failure of counterparty to perform under the contract terms.  Futures contracts are generally valued at the settlement price established at the close of business each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded.

 

Swap agreements

 

The Fund may enter into various types of swap agreements, including without limitation, swaps on securities and securities indices, interest rate swaps, total return swaps, credit default swaps, variance swaps, commodity swaps, inflation swaps and other types of available swaps.  A swap agreement is an agreement to exchange the return generated by one instrument for the return generated by another instrument.  Some swap contracts are net settled. When entering into a swap agreement, the Fund and/or the swap counterparty may post or receive cash or securities as collateral and will typically post or receive additional collateral as market values change.

 

Interest rate swap agreements involve an exchange by the parties of their respective commitments to pay or right to receive interest, e.g., an exchange of floating rate interest payments for fixed rate interest payments with respect to the notional amount of principal.

 

Total return swap agreements involve a commitment by one party to pay interest to the other party in exchange for a payment to it from the other party based on the return of a reference instrument (e.g., a security or basket of securities), both based on notional amounts. To the extent the return of the reference instrument exceeds or falls short of the interest payments, one party will receive a payment from or make a payment to the other party.

 

In a credit default swap agreement, one party makes payments to another party in exchange for the right to receive a specified return if a credit event occurs with respect to a referenced entity or entities.  Buying credit default protection reduces the buyer’s exposure (or increases negative exposure) in the event of an issuer’s default (e.g., it is intended to reduce risk where a party owns a security issued by or otherwise has exposure to the issuer).  Selling credit default protection subjects the seller to exposure to an issuer’s default or other credit events.  A seller of credit default protection receives payments in return for its obligation to pay the principal amount of a debt security (or other agreed-upon value) to the other party upon the occurrence of a credit event (e.g., issuer default or similar event).  If no credit event occurs, the seller has no payment obligations.  For credit default swap agreements on asset-backed securities, a credit event may be triggered by various events, which may include an issuer’s failure to pay interest or principal, a breach of a material representation or covenant, an agreement by the holders of an asset-backed security to a maturity extension, or a write-down on the collateral underlying the security.  For credit default swap agreements on corporate or sovereign issuers, a credit event may be triggered by such events as the issuer’s bankruptcy, failure to pay interest or principal, repudiation/moratorium or restructuring.

 

Variance swap agreements involve an agreement by two parties to exchange cash flows based on the measured variance (or square of volatility) of a specified underlying asset. One party agrees to exchange a “fixed rate” or strike price payment for the “floating rate” or realized price variance on the underlying asset with respect to the notional amount. At inception, the strike price chosen is generally fixed at a level such that the fair value of the swap is zero. As a result, no money changes hands at the initiation of the contract. At the expiration date, the amount paid by one party to the other is the difference between the realized price variance of the underlying asset and the strike price multiplied by the notional amount. A receiver of the realized price variance would receive a payment when the realized price variance of the underlying asset is greater than the strike price and would make a payment when that variance is less than the strike price. A payer of the realized price variance would make a payment when the realized price variance of the underlying asset is greater than the strike price and would receive a payment when that variance is less than the strike price. This type of agreement is essentially a forward contract on the future realized price variance of the underlying asset.

 

The Fund prices its swap agreements daily using models that may incorporate quotations from market makers and records the change in value, if any, as unrealized gain or loss.  Payments received or made on swap agreements are recorded as realized gain or loss.  Gains or losses are realized upon termination of the swap agreements, or reset dates as appropriate.

 

Swap agreements generally are not traded on financial markets. The values assigned to them may differ significantly from the values that would be realized upon termination, and the differences could be material. Entering into swap agreements involves counterparty credit, legal, and documentation risk that is generally not reflected in the models used to price the swap agreement.  Such risks include the possibility that the party with whom the Fund contracts may default on its obligations to perform or disagree as to the meaning of contractual terms, that the Fund has amounts on deposit in excess of amounts owed by the Fund, or that the collateral the other party posts may be insufficient or not timely received by the Fund.  Specifically, the amount shown as owed to the Fund under a swap agreement is not reduced if there is uncertainty about the counterparty’s willingness or ability to pay.  Credit risk is particularly acute in economic environments in which financial services firms are exposed to systemic risks of the type evidenced by the insolvency of Lehman Brothers in 2008 and subsequent market disruptions.

 



 

Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities–Effective March 1, 2009, the Fund adopted FASB Statement of Financial Standards No. 161 “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS 161”). This standard is an amendment to FASB Statement No. 133 (“FASB 133”), “Accounting for Derivative Instruments” which expands the disclosure requirements of FASB 133 regarding an entity’s derivative instruments and hedging activities.

 

The table below summarizes the fair values of derivatives held by the Fund at May 31, 2009 by risk category:

^^ As the Fund values its derivatives at fair value and recognizes changes in fair value through the statement of operations, it does not qualify for hedge accounting under FASB 133. The Fund’s investments in derivatives may represent an economic hedge; however, they are considered to be non-hedge transactions for the purpose of SFAS 161 disclosure.

 

The amounts above correspond with amounts in the Schedule of Investments for “Futures Contracts”.

Portfolio valuation

 

Securities listed on a securities exchange for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price on each business day, or if there is no such reported sale or official closing price, at the most recent quoted bid price, or broker bid (if the private market is more relevant in determining market value than the exchange).  Unlisted securities for which market quotations are readily available are generally valued at the most recent quoted bid price.  Debt instruments with a remaining maturity of sixty days or less are generally valued at amortized cost.  Shares of investment funds are generally valued at their net asset value.  Securities for which quotations are not readily available or whose values the Manager has determined to be unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Trustees or persons acting at their direction pursuant to procedures approved by the Trustees.  Although the goal of fair valuation is to determine the amount the owner of the securities might reasonably expect to receive upon their current sale, because of the uncertainty inherent in fair value pricing, the value determined for a particular security may be materially different than the value realized upon its sale.  For information about the pricing of some specific positions (e.g. swaps) see descriptions below.

 

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS 157”). While the adoption of SFAS 157 does not have an effect on the Fund’s net asset value, it does require additional disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 establishes a three-level hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements. The valuation hierarchy is based upon the reliability of inputs to the valuation of the Fund’s investments. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.  The three levels are defined as follows:

 

Level 1 – Valuations based on quoted prices for identical securities in active markets.

 

Level 2 – Valuations determined using other significant direct or indirect observable inputs.

 

Level 3 – Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant.

 

The following is a summary of the categorization of investments by inputs used as of May 31, 2009 in valuing the Fund’s investments:

The Fund held no investments or other financial instruments at either February 28, 2009 or May 31, 2009, whose fair value was determined using Level 3 inputs.

 

Futures contracts

 

The Fund may purchase and sell futures contracts.  A futures contract is a contract that obligates the holder to buy or sell an asset at a predetermined delivery price during a specified future time period.  Some futures contracts are net (cash) settled. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to deposit cash, U.S. government and agency obligations, or other liquid assets with the futures clearing broker in accordance with the initial margin requirements of the broker or exchange.  Futures contracts are marked to market daily and an appropriate payable or receivable for the change in value (“variation margin”) is recorded by the Fund.  The payable or receivable is settled on the following business day.  Gains or losses are recognized but not

 



 

considered realized until the contracts expire or are closed.  Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of the variation margin.  Under some circumstances, futures exchanges may establish daily limits on the amount that the price of a futures contract can vary from the previous day’s settlement price, thereby effectively preventing liquidation of unfavorable positions.  Losses may arise from changes in the value of the underlying instrument if the Fund is unable to liquidate a futures position due to an illiquid market for the contract, the imposition of price limits or the failure of counterparty to perform under the contract terms.  Futures contracts are generally valued at the settlement price established at the close of business each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded.

 

Swap agreements

 

The Fund may enter into various types of swap agreements, including without limitation, swaps on securities and securities indices, interest rate swaps, total return swaps, credit default swaps, variance swaps, commodity swaps, inflation swaps and other types of available swaps.  A swap agreement is an agreement to exchange the return generated by one instrument for the return generated by another instrument.  Some swap contracts are net settled. When entering into a swap agreement, the Fund and/or the swap counterparty may post or receive cash or securities as collateral and will typically post or receive additional collateral as market values change.

 

Interest rate swap agreements involve an exchange by the parties of their respective commitments to pay or right to receive interest, e.g., an exchange of floating rate interest payments for fixed rate interest payments with respect to the notional amount of principal.

 

Total return swap agreements involve a commitment by one party to pay interest to the other party in exchange for a payment to it from the other party based on the return of a reference instrument (e.g., a security or basket of securities), both based on notional amounts. To the extent the return of the reference instrument exceeds or falls short of the interest payments, one party will receive a payment from or make a payment to the other party.

 

In a credit default swap agreement, one party makes payments to another party in exchange for the right to receive a specified return if a credit event occurs with respect to a referenced entity or entities.  Buying credit default protection reduces the buyer’s exposure (or increases negative exposure) in the event of an issuer’s default (e.g., it is intended to reduce risk where a party owns a security issued by or otherwise has exposure to the issuer).  Selling credit default protection subjects the seller to exposure to an issuer’s default or other credit events.  A seller of credit default protection receives payments in return for its obligation to pay the principal amount of a debt security (or other agreed-upon value) to the other party upon the occurrence of a credit event (e.g., issuer default or similar event).  If no credit event occurs, the seller has no payment obligations.  For credit default swap agreements on asset-backed securities, a credit event may be triggered by various events, which may include an issuer’s failure to pay interest or principal, a breach of a material representation or covenant, an agreement by the holders of an asset-backed security to a maturity extension, or a write-down on the collateral underlying the security.  For credit default swap agreements on corporate or sovereign issuers, a credit event may be triggered by such events as the issuer’s bankruptcy, failure to pay interest or principal, repudiation/moratorium or restructuring.

 

Variance swap agreements involve an agreement by two parties to exchange cash flows based on the measured variance (or square of volatility) of a specified underlying asset. One party agrees to exchange a “fixed rate” or strike price payment for the “floating rate” or realized price variance on the underlying asset with respect to the notional amount. At inception, the strike price chosen is generally fixed at a level such that the fair value of the swap is zero. As a result, no money changes hands at the initiation of the contract. At the expiration date, the amount paid by one party to the other is the difference between the realized price variance of the underlying asset and the strike price multiplied by the notional amount. A receiver of the realized price variance would receive a payment when the realized price variance of the underlying asset is greater than the strike price and would make a payment when that variance is less than the strike price. A payer of the realized price variance would make a payment when the realized price variance of the underlying asset is greater than the strike price and would receive a payment when that variance is less than the strike price. This type of agreement is essentially a forward contract on the future realized price variance of the underlying asset.

 

The Fund prices its swap agreements daily using models that may incorporate quotations from market makers and records the change in value, if any, as unrealized gain or loss.  Payments received or made on swap agreements are recorded as realized gain or loss.  Gains or losses are realized upon termination of the swap agreements, or reset dates as appropriate.

 

Swap agreements generally are not traded on financial markets. The values assigned to them may differ significantly from the values that would be realized upon termination, and the differences could be material. Entering into swap agreements involves counterparty credit, legal, and documentation risk that is generally not reflected in the models used to price the swap agreement.  Such risks include the possibility that the party with whom the Fund contracts may default on its obligations to perform or disagree as to the meaning of contractual terms, that the Fund has amounts on deposit in excess of amounts owed by the Fund, or that the collateral the other party posts may be insufficient or not timely received by the Fund.  Specifically, the amount shown as owed to the Fund under a swap agreement is not reduced if there is uncertainty about the counterparty’s willingness or ability to pay.  Credit risk is particularly acute in economic environments in which financial services firms are exposed to systemic risks of the type evidenced by the insolvency of Lehman Brothers in 2008 and subsequent market disruptions.

 



 

Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities–Effective March 1, 2009, the Fund adopted FASB Statement of Financial Standards No. 161 “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS 161”). This standard is an amendment to FASB Statement No. 133 (“FASB 133”), “Accounting for Derivative Instruments” which expands the disclosure requirements of FASB 133 regarding an entity’s derivative instruments and hedging activities.

 

The table below summarizes the fair values of derivatives held by the Fund at May 31, 2009 by risk category:

^^ As the Fund values its derivatives at fair value and recognizes changes in fair value through the statement of operations, it does not qualify for hedge accounting under FASB 133. The Fund’s investments in derivatives may represent an economic hedge; however, they are considered to be non-hedge transactions for the purpose of SFAS 161 disclosure.

 

The amounts above correspond with amounts in the Schedule of Investments for “Futures Contracts.”

Portfolio valuation

 

Securities listed on a securities exchange for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price on each business day, or if there is no such reported sale or official closing price, at the most recent quoted bid price, or broker bid (if the private market is more relevant in determining market value than the exchange).  Unlisted securities for which market quotations are readily available are generally valued at the most recent quoted bid price.  Debt instruments with a remaining maturity of sixty days or less are generally valued at amortized cost.  Shares of investment funds are generally valued at their net asset value.  Securities for which quotations are not readily available or whose values the Manager has determined to be unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Trustees or persons acting at their direction pursuant to procedures approved by the Trustees.  Although the goal of fair valuation is to determine the amount the owner of the securities might reasonably expect to receive upon their current sale, because of the uncertainty inherent in fair value pricing, the value determined for a particular security may be materially different than the value realized upon its sale.

 

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS 157”). While the adoption of SFAS 157 does not have an effect on the Fund’s net asset value, it does require additional disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 establishes a three-level hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements. The valuation hierarchy is based upon the reliability of inputs to the valuation of the Fund’s investments. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.  The three levels are defined as follows:

 

Level 1 – Valuations based on quoted prices for identical securities in active markets.

 

Level 2 – Valuations determined using other significant direct or indirect observable inputs.

 

Level 3 – Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant.

Notes to Schedule of Investments:

 



 

Portfolio valuation

 

Shares of the underlying funds and other mutual funds are generally valued at their net asset value.

 

Investments held by the underlying funds are valued as follows.   Securities listed on a securities exchange for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price on each business day, or if there is no such reported sale or official closing price, at the most recent quoted bid price, or broker bid (if the private market is more relevant in determining market value than the exchange).  Unlisted securities for which market quotations are readily available are generally valued at the most recent quoted bid price.  Debt instruments with a remaining maturity of sixty days or less are generally valued at amortized cost.  Shares of investment funds are generally valued at their net asset value.  Securities for which quotations are not readily available or whose values the Manager has determined to be unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Trustees or persons acting at their direction pursuant to procedures approved by the Trustees.  Although the goal of fair valuation is to determine the amount the owner of the securities might reasonably expect to receive upon their current sale, because of the uncertainty inherent in fair value pricing, the value determined for a particular security may be materially different than the value realized upon its sale.  Because many foreign equity securities markets and exchanges close prior to the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), closing prices for foreign securities in those markets or on those exchanges do not reflect the events that occur after that close but before the close of the NYSE.  As a result, the Fund generally values foreign equity securities as of the NYSE close using fair value prices, which are based on adjustments to closing prices supplied by a third party vendor using that vendor’s proprietary models.  As of May 31, 2009, 42.89% of the net assets of the Fund, through investments in the underlying funds, were valued using fair value prices based on models used by that third party vendor. Those underlying funds classify such securities under SFAS 157 (as defined below) as level 2.

 

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS 157”). While the adoption of SFAS 157 does not have an effect on the Fund’s net asset value, it does require additional disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 establishes a three-level hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements. The valuation hierarchy is based upon the reliability of inputs to the valuation of the Fund’s investments. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.  The three levels are defined as follows:

Underlying funds are classified above as either level 1 or level 2.   For the underlying funds’ summary of valuation inputs (including level 3 inputs, if any) please refer to the respective fund’s portfolio valuation note.

 

The Fund held no investments or other financial instruments at either February 28, 2009 or May 31, 2009, whose fair value was determined using level 3 inputs.

 



 

Investment risks

 

The Fund is indirectly exposed to all of the risks associated with an investment in the underlying funds, including the risk that the underlying funds in which it invests will not perform as expected.  Some underlying funds may invest directly and/or indirectly in foreign securities.  The Fund is subject to risks involved in investing in foreign securities that are not presented by investments in U.S. securities. These risks may involve adverse political and economic developments, including expropriation and the possible imposition of capital controls or other foreign governmental laws or restrictions. In addition, the securities of some foreign companies and securities markets are less liquid and at times more volatile than securities of comparable U.S. companies and U.S. securities markets.  Also, fluctuations in exchange rates may adversely affect the U.S. dollar value of the Fund’s foreign currency holdings and investments denominated in foreign currency.  The risks described above apply to an even greater extent to investments in emerging countries. The securities markets of emerging countries are generally smaller, less developed, less liquid, and more volatile than the securities markets of the U.S. and developed foreign markets. Additionally, the investment risks associated with an investment in the underlying funds may be greater to the extent that the underlying funds engage in derivative transactions.

 

Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities–Effective March 1, 2009, the Fund adopted FASB Statement of Financial Standards No. 161 “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS 161”). This standard is an amendment to FASB Statement No. 133 (“FASB 133”), “Accounting for Derivative Instruments” which expands the disclosure requirements of FASB 133 regarding an entity’s derivative instruments and hedging activities.

 

The Fund adopted SFAS 161 on March 1, 2009.  As of May 31, 2009, the Fund held no derivative contracts for the purposes of SFAS 161.

Receive - Fund receives premium and sells credit protection.

 

(Pay) - Fund pays premium and buys credit protection.

(1)

Implied credit spreads, represented in absolute terms, utilized in determining the market value of credit default swap agreements on the reference security, as of May 31, 2009, serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk and reflect the likelihood or risk of default for the credit derivative. The implied credit spread of a particular referenced entity reflects the cost of buying/selling protection and may include upfront payments required to be made to enter into the agreement. Wider (i.e. higher) credit spreads represent a deterioration of the referenced entity’s credit soundness and a greater likelihood or risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the agreement.

(2)

The maximum potential amount the Fund could be required to make as a seller of credit protection if a credit event occurs as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement.

Portfolio valuation

 

Securities listed on a securities exchange for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price on each business day, or if there is no such reported sale or official closing price, at the most recent quoted bid price, or broker bid (if the private market is more relevant in determining market value than the exchange).  Unlisted securities for which market quotations are readily available are generally valued at the most recent quoted bid price.  Debt instruments with a remaining maturity of sixty days or less are generally valued at amortized cost.  Shares of investment funds are generally valued at their net asset value.  Securities for which quotations are not readily available or whose values the Manager has determined to be unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Trustees or persons acting at their direction pursuant to procedures approved by the Trustees.  Although the goal of fair valuation is to determine the amount the owner of the securities might reasonably expect to receive upon their current sale, because of the uncertainty inherent in fair value pricing, the value determined for a particular security may be materially different than the value realized upon its sale.  For information about the pricing of some specific positions (e.g. swaps) see descriptions below.

 

Typically the Fund values debt instruments based on the most recent bid supplied by a single pricing source chosen by the Manager.  The Manager evaluates pricing sources on an ongoing basis, and may change a pricing source at any time.  The Manager normally does not evaluate the prices supplied by pricing sources on a day-to-day basis.  The Manager monitors erratic or unusual movements (including unusual inactivity) in the prices supplied for a security and has discretion to override a price supplied by a source (e.g., by taking a price supplied by another) when it believes that the price supplied is not reliable.  The prices provided by a pricing source may differ from the value that would be realized if the securities were sold, and the differences could be material. In addition, although alternative prices are available for other securities held by the Fund, those alternative sources would not necessarily confirm the security price used by the Fund. Therefore, the existence of those alternative sources does not necessarily provide greater certainty about the prices used by the Fund.  As of May 31, 2009, the total value of securities held directly for which no alternative pricing source was available represented 18.51% of the net assets of the Fund.

 

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS 157”). While the adoption of SFAS 157 does not have an effect on the Fund’s net asset value, it does require additional disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 establishes a three-level hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements. The valuation hierarchy is based upon the reliability of inputs to the valuation of the Fund’s investments. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.  The three levels are defined as follows:

 

Level 1 – Valuations based on quoted prices for identical securities in active markets.

 

Level 2 – Valuations determined using other significant direct or indirect observable inputs.

 

Level 3  – Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant. The Fund utilized the following fair value techniques on Level 3 investments: The Fund valued certain debt securities using indicative bids received from primary pricing sources.  The Fund also valued certain credit default swaps using industry standard models and inputs from pricing vendors.

 

The following is a summary of the categorization of investments by inputs used as of May 31, 2009 in valuing the Fund’s investments:

Foreign currency translation

 

The market values of foreign securities, currency holdings and related assets and liabilities are translated to U.S. dollars based on the 4 p.m. New York time exchange rates each business day.  Income and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the 4 p.m. New York time exchange rates on the business day the income and expenses are accrued or incurred.  The Fund does not isolate realized and unrealized gains and losses attributable to changes in exchange rates from gains and losses that arise from changes in the market value of investments.  Such fluctuations are included with net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments.  Net realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions represent gains and losses on disposition of currencies and forward currency contracts, currency gains and losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amount of investment income and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s accounting records and the U.S. dollar equivalent amounts actually received or paid.

 

Forward currency contracts

 

The Fund may enter into forward currency contracts, including forward cross currency contracts.  A forward currency contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell a currency at a set price on a future date (or to pay or receive the amounts of the change in relative values of the two currencies).  The market value of a forward currency contract fluctuates with changes in forward currency exchange rates.  Forward currency contracts are marked to market daily using rates supplied by a quotation service and changes in value are recorded by the Fund as unrealized gains or losses.  Realized gains or losses on the contracts are 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.  These contracts involve market risk in excess of the unrealized gain or loss.  They expose the Fund to the risk of unfavorable movements in currency values and the risk that the counterparty will be unable or unwilling to meet the terms of the contracts.

 

Futures contracts

 

The Fund may purchase and sell futures contracts.  A futures contract is a contract that obligates the holder to buy or sell an asset at a predetermined delivery price during a specified future time period.  Some futures contracts are net (cash) settled. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to deposit cash, U.S. government and agency obligations, or other liquid assets with the futures clearing broker in accordance with the initial margin requirements of the broker or exchange.  Futures contracts are marked to market daily and an appropriate payable or receivable for the change in value (“variation margin”) is recorded by the Fund.  The payable or receivable is settled on the following business day.  Gains or losses are recognized but not considered realized until the contracts expire or are closed.  Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of the variation margin.  Under some circumstances, futures exchanges may establish daily limits on the amount that the price of a futures contract can vary from the previous day’s settlement price, thereby effectively preventing liquidation of unfavorable positions.  Losses may arise from changes in the value of the underlying instrument if the Fund is unable to liquidate a futures position due to an illiquid market for the contract, the imposition of price limits or the failure of counterparty to perform under the contract terms.  Futures contracts are generally valued at the settlement price established at the close of business each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded.

 



 

Options

 

The Fund may purchase put and call options.  A call option gives the holder the right to buy an asset; a put option gives the holder the right to sell an asset.  Purchasing options alters the Fund’s exposure to the underlying instrument by, in the case of a call option, entitling the Fund to purchase the underlying instrument at a set price from the writer of the option and, in the case of a put option, entitling the Fund to sell the underlying instrument at a set price to the writer of the option.  The Fund pays a premium for a purchased option.  That premium is disclosed in the Schedule of Investments and is subsequently marked to market to reflect the current value of the option.  Premiums paid for options that expire are treated as realized losses.  Premiums paid for options that are exercised or closed are deducted from the proceeds of the closing transaction to determine the realized gain or loss.  The risk associated with purchasing put and call options is limited to the premium paid.

 

The Fund may write (i.e., sell) call and put options.   Writing options alters the Fund’s exposure to the underlying instrument by, in the case of a call option, obligating the Fund to sell the underlying instrument at a set price to the option-holder and, in the case of a put option, obligating the Fund to purchase the underlying instrument at a set price from the option-holder. In some cases (e.g. index options), settlement will be in cash. When the Fund writes a call or put option, an amount equal to the premium received is recorded as a liability and subsequently marked to market to reflect the current value of the option written.  Premiums received from writing options that expire are treated as realized gains.  Premiums received from writing options that are exercised or closed are deducted from the amounts paid on the underlying future, security or currency transaction to determine the realized gain or loss.  The Fund as a writer of an option has no control over whether the underlying future, security or currency may be sold (call) or purchased (put) and as a result bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the future, security or currency underlying the option.  In the event that the Fund writes call or put options without an offsetting exposure (e.g. call options on a security that the Fund does not own), it bears the risk of substantial losses if the price of the underlying asset increases (calls) or decreases (puts) during the term of the option.  Options expose the Fund to the risk the Fund may not be able to enter into a closing transaction because of an illiquid market.

The Fund values exchange traded options at the last sale price, or if no sale is reported, the last bid price for options it has purchased and the last ask price for options it has written.  The Fund values options traded over-the-counter using inputs provided by primary pricing sources and industry models.

 

Indexed securities

 

The Fund may invest in indexed securities.  Indexed securities are securities whose values and/or coupons are linked to the prices of a specific instrument, group of instruments or financial statistic.

 

Swap agreements

 

The Fund may enter into various types of swap agreements, including without limitation, swaps on securities and securities indicies, interest rate swaps, total return swaps, credit default swaps, variance swaps, commodity swaps, inflation swaps and other types of available swaps.  A swap agreement is an agreement to exchange the return generated by one instrument for the return generated by another instrument.  Some swap contracts are net settled. When entering into a swap agreement, the Fund and/or the swap counterparty may post or receive cash or securities as collateral and will typically post or receive additional collateral as market values change.

 

Interest rate swap agreements involve an exchange by the parties of their respective commitments to pay or right to receive interest, e.g., an exchange of floating rate interest payments for fixed rate interest payments with respect to the notional amount of principal.

 



 

Total return swap agreements involve a commitment by one party to pay interest to the other party in exchange for a payment to it from the other party based on the return of a reference instrument (e.g., a security or basket of securities), both based on notional amounts. To the extent the return of the reference instrument exceeds or falls short of the interest payments, one party will receive a payment from or make a payment to the other party.

 

In a credit default swap agreement, one party makes payments to another party in exchange for the right to receive a specified return if a credit event occurs with respect to a referenced entity or entities.  Buying credit default protection reduces the buyer’s exposure (or increases negative exposure) in the event of an issuer’s default (e.g., it is intended to reduce risk where a party owns a security issued by or otherwise has exposure to the issuer).  Selling credit default protection subjects the seller to exposure to an issuer’s default or other credit events.  A seller of credit default protection receives payments in return for its obligation to pay the principal amount of a debt security (or other agreed-upon value) to the other party upon the occurrence of a credit event (e.g., issuer default or similar event).  If no credit event occurs, the seller has no payment obligations.    For credit default swap agreements on asset-backed securities, a credit event may be triggered by various events, which may include an issuer’s failure to pay interest or principal, a breach of a material representation or covenant, an agreement by the holders of an asset-backed security to a maturity extension, or a write-down on the collateral underlying the security. For credit default swap agreements on corporate or sovereign issuers, a credit event may be triggered by such events as the issuer’s bankruptcy, failure to pay interest or principal, repudiation/moratorium or restructuring.

 

Variance swap agreements involve an agreement by two parties to exchange cash flows based on the measured variance (or square of volatility) of a specified underlying asset. One party agrees to exchange a “fixed rate” or strike price payment for the “floating rate” or realized price variance on the underlying asset with respect to the notional amount. At inception, the strike price chosen is generally fixed at a level such that the fair value of the swap is zero. As a result, no money changes hands at the initiation of the contract. At the expiration date, the amount paid by one party to the other is the difference between the realized price variance of the underlying asset and the strike price multiplied by the notional amount. A receiver of the realized price variance would receive a payment when the realized price variance of the underlying asset is greater than the strike price and would make a payment when that variance is less than the strike price. A payer of the realized price variance would make a payment when the realized price variance of the underlying asset is greater than the strike price and would receive a payment when that variance is less than the strike price. This type of agreement is essentially a forward contract on the future realized price variance of the underlying asset.

 

The Fund prices its swap agreements daily using models that may incorporate quotations from market makers and records the change in value, if any, as unrealized gain or loss.  Payments received or made on swap agreements are recorded as realized gain or loss.  Gains or losses are realized upon termination of the swap agreements, or reset dates as appropriate.

 

Swap agreements generally are not traded on financial markets. The values assigned to them may differ significantly from the values that would be realized upon termination, and the differences could be material. Entering into swap agreements involves counterparty credit, legal, and documentation risk that is generally not reflected in the models used to price the swap agreement.  Such risks include the possibility that the party with whom the Fund contracts may default on its obligations to perform or disagree as to the meaning of contractual terms, that the Fund has amounts on deposit in excess of amounts owed by the Fund, or that the collateral the other party posts may be insufficient or not timely received by the Fund.  Specifically, the amount shown as owed to the Fund under a swap agreement is not reduced if there is uncertainty about the counterparty’s willingness or ability to pay. Credit risk is particularly acute in economic environments in which financial services firms are exposed to systemic risks of the type evidenced by the insolvency of Lehman Brothers in 2008 and subsequent market disruptions.

 

Reverse repurchase agreements

 

The Fund may enter into reverse repurchase agreements.  Under a reverse repurchase agreement the Fund sells portfolio assets subject to an agreement by the Fund to repurchase the same assets at a later date at a fixed price.  Also, if the buyer in a reverse repurchase agreement files for bankruptcy or becomes insolvent, the Fund may be unable to recover the securities it sold and as a result would realize a loss equal to the difference between the value of the securities and the payment it received for them.  This loss would be greater to the extent the buyer paid less than the value of the securities the Fund sold to it (e.g., a buyer may pay $95 for a bond with a market value of $100).  The Fund’s use of proceeds from the sale of its securities may be restricted while the other party or its trustee or receiver determines whether to honor the Fund’s right to repurchase the securities.  As of May 31, 2009, the Fund had entered into reverse repurchase agreements, plus accrued interest, amounting to $70,279,896, involving securities with a market value, plus accrued interest, of $69,536,258.

 

Investment risks

 

The Fund is subject to risks involved in investing in foreign securities that are not presented by investments in U.S. securities. These risks may involve adverse political and economic developments, including expropriation and the possible imposition of capital controls or other foreign governmental laws or restrictions. In addition, the securities of some foreign companies and securities markets are less liquid and at times may be more volatile than securities of comparable U.S. companies and U.S. securities markets. Also, fluctuations in exchange rates may adversely affect the U.S. dollar value of the Fund’s foreign currency holdings and investments denominated in foreign currency.  The

 



 

risks described above apply to an even greater extent to investments in emerging countries. The securities markets of emerging countries are generally smaller, less developed, less liquid, and more volatile than the securities markets of the U.S. and developed foreign markets.  Additionally, the investment risks associated with an investment in the underlying funds may be greater to the extent that the underlying funds engage in derivative transactions.

 

The Fund invests in asset-backed securities, which may be backed in whole or in part by many types of assets, including pools of residential and commercial mortgages, automobile loans, educational loans, home equity loans, or credit-card receivables, which bring additional types of market risk.  Asset-backed securities also may be collateralized by the fees earned by service providers. They also may be backed by pools of corporate or sovereign bonds, bank loans made to corporations, or a combination of these bonds and loans (commonly referred to as “collateralized debt obligations”). Payment of interest on asset-backed securities and repayment of principal largely depend on the cash flows generated by the underlying assets backing the securities. The amount of market risk associated with asset-backed securities depends on many factors, including the deal structure (e.g., determination as to the amount of underlying assets or other support needed to produce the cash flows necessary to service interest and make principal payments), the quality of the underlying assets, the level of credit support, if any, provided for the securities, and the credit quality of the credit-support provider, if any.  Asset-backed securities involve risk of loss of principal if obligors of the underlying obligations default in payment of the obligations and the defaulted obligations exceed the credit support. The obligations of issuers (and obligors of underlying assets) also are subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, and other laws affecting the rights and remedies of creditors.  Many asset-backed securities are now rated below investment grade.

 

With the deterioration of worldwide economic and liquidity conditions that became acute in 2008, the markets for asset-backed securities became fractured and uncertainty about the creditworthiness of those securities (and underlying collateral) caused credit spreads (the difference between yields on the asset-backed securities and U.S. Government securities) to widen dramatically. Concurrently, systemic risks of the type evidenced by the insolvency of Lehman Brothers and subsequent market disruptions reduced the ability of financial institutions to make markets in many fixed income securities generally.  These events reduced liquidity for securitized credits and contributed to substantial declines in the value of asset-backed and other fixed income securities. There can be no assurance these conditions will not continue or that they will not deteriorate further. Also, government actions and proposals affecting the terms of underlying home and consumer loans, changes in demand for products (e.g., automobiles) financed by those loans, and the inability of borrowers to refinance existing loans (e.g., sub-prime mortgages), have had, and may continue to have, adverse valuation and liquidity effects on asset-backed securities. There can be no assurance that in the future the market for asset-backed securities will become more liquid.

 

The value of an asset-backed security may depend on the servicing of its underlying assets and is, therefore, subject to risks associated with the negligence or defalcation of its servicer. In some circumstances, the mishandling of related documentation also may affect the rights of security holders in and to the underlying collateral. The insolvency of entities that generate receivables or that utilize the assets may result in a decline in the value of the underlying assets, as well as costs and delays.  In addition, asset-backed securities representing diverse sectors (e.g., auto loans, student loans, sub-prime mortgages, and credit-card receivables) have become more highly correlated since the deterioration of worldwide economic and liquidity conditions referred to above.

 

The Fund uses its cash balance to meet its derivative collateral obligations and for other purposes. There is no assurance that the Fund’s cash balance will be sufficient to meet its collateral obligations arising under its derivatives.  If it is not, the Fund would be required to liquidate other positions.  To manage the Fund’s cash collateral needs in the current extraordinary market conditions, the Manager reserves the right to reduce or eliminate the Fund’s derivative exposures, including those that are intended to cause the Fund to track its benchmark more closely. A reduction in those exposures may tend to cause the performance of the Fund to track its benchmark less closely and make the Fund’s performance more dependent on the performance of the asset-backed securities it holds.

 

To address in part the cash management issues described above, the Fund may effect nearly all significant redemptions of its shares in-kind. If redeeming shareholders from the Fund choose to sell assets received in-kind immediately and current adverse market conditions continue, they may experience difficulty selling the assets at favorable prices.  The Fund may establish de minimis amounts below which redemptions may be honored for cash. Amounts available for cash redemptions could be increased and/or redemption fees could be reduced if conditions in the bond market improve. These amounts can and will change without prior notice.

 

Among other trading agreements, the Fund is party to International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreements (“ISDA Agreements”) with select counterparties that generally govern over-the-counter derivative transactions entered into by the Fund. The ISDA Master Agreements typically include representations and warranties as well as contractual terms related to collateral, events of default, termination events, and other provisions. Termination events include the decline in the net assets of the Fund below a certain level over a specified period of time and entitle a counterparty to elect to terminate early with respect to some or all the transactions under the ISDA Agreement with that counterparty. Such an election by one or more of the counterparties could have a material adverse

 



 

impact on the Fund’s operations.  Due to declines in the net assets of the Fund prior to May 31, 2009, one or more counterparties are  entitled to terminate early but none has taken such action.

 

Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities–Effective March 1, 2009, the Fund adopted FASB Statement of Financial Standards No. 161 “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS 161”). This standard is an amendment to FASB Statement No. 133 (“FASB 133”), “Accounting for Derivative Instruments” which expands the disclosure requirements of FASB 133 regarding an entity’s derivative instruments and hedging activities.

^^ As the Fund values its derivatives at fair value and recognizes changes in fair value through the statement of operations, it does not qualify for hedge accounting under FASB 133. The Fund’s investments in derivatives may represent an economic hedge; however, they are considered to be non-hedge transactions for the purpose of SFAS 161 disclosure.
