of these securities were pledged as collateral in connection with the Funds
revolving credit agreement at March 31, 2019. Total market value of pledged securities
at March 31, 2019, was $153,310,327. |
3 | At March 31,
2019, a portion of these securities were rehypothecated in connection with the Funds revolving credit agreement in the aggregate amount of $67,160,403. |

These securities are defined as Level 2 securities due to fair value being based
on quoted prices for similar securities. |
5 | At March 31,
2019, the Fund owned 5% or more of the Companys outstanding voting securities
thereby making the Company an Affiliated Company as that term is defined in the
Investment Company Act of 1940. |
6 | Securities
for which market quotations are not readily available represent 0.1% of net assets.
These securities have been valued at their fair value under procedures approved by
the Funds Board of Directors. These securities are defined as Level 3 securities
due to the use of significant unobservable inputs in the determination of fair value. |
TAX INFORMATION: The cost of total investments for Federal income tax purposes was $1,269,358,099. At March 31, 2019, net unrealized appreciation for all securities was $271,994,111, consisting of aggregate gross unrealized appreciation of $408,468,145 and aggregate gross unrealized depreciation of $136,474,034. The primary cause of the difference between book and tax basis cost is the timing of the recognition of losses on securities sold.
Valuation of Investments:
Investment
transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Securities are valued as of the
close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern
time) on the valuation date. Securities that trade on an exchange, and securities
traded on Nasdaqs Electronic Bulletin Board, are valued at their last reported
sales price or Nasdaq official closing price taken from the primary market in which
each security trades or, if no sale is reported for such day, at their highest bid
price. Other over-the-counter securities for which market quotations are readily
available are valued at their highest bid price, except in the case of some bonds
and other fixed income securities which may be valued by reference to other securities
with comparable ratings, interest rates and maturities, using established independent
pricing services. The Fund values its non-U.S. dollar denominated securities in
U.S. dollars daily at the prevailing foreign currency exchange rates as quoted by
a major bank. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available are
valued at their fair value in accordance with the provisions of the 1940 Act, under
procedures approved by the Funds Board of Directors, and are reported as Level
3 securities. As a general principle, the fair value of a security is the amount
which the Fund might reasonably expect to receive for the security upon its current
sale. However, in light of the judgment involved in fair valuations, there can be
no assurance that a fair value assigned to a particular security will be the amount
which the Fund might be able to receive upon its current sale. In addition, if,
between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary
trading session on the NYSE, events occur that are significant and may make the
closing price unreliable, the Fund may fair value the security. The Fund uses an
independent pricing service to provide fair value estimates for relevant non-U.S.
equity securities on days when the U.S. market volatility exceeds a certain threshold.
This pricing service uses proprietary correlations it has developed between the
movement of prices of non-U.S. equity securities and indices of U.S.-traded securities,
futures contracts and other indications to estimate the fair value of relevant non-U.S.
securities. When fair value pricing is employed, the prices of securities used by
the Fund may differ from quoted or published prices for the same security. Investments
in money market funds are valued at net asset value per share.
Level 1 | | quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. | |
Level 2 | | other significant
observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, foreign securities
that may be fair valued and repurchase agreements). The table below includes all
Level 2 securities. Level 2 securities with values based on quoted prices for similar
securities are noted in the Schedule of Investments. |
|
Level 3 | | significant
unobservable inputs (including last trade price before trading was suspended, or
at a discount thereto for lack of marketability or otherwise, market price information
regarding other securities, information received from the company and/or published
documents, including SEC filings and financial statements, or other publicly available
information). |
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. |

represents the directional change in the fair value of the Level 3 investments that
would result in an increase from the corresponding unobservable input. A decrease
to the unobservable input would have the opposite effect. Significant increases
and decreases in these unobservable inputs in isolation could result in significantly
higher or lower fair value measurements. |
Repurchase Agreements:
The Fund
may enter into repurchase agreements with institutions that the Funds investment
adviser has determined are creditworthy. The Fund restricts repurchase agreements
to maturities of no more than seven days. Securities pledged as collateral for repurchase
agreements, which are held until maturity of the repurchase agreements, are marked-to-market
daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase
agreement (including accrued interest). Repurchase agreements could involve certain
risks in the event of default or insolvency of the counter-party, including possible
delays or restrictions upon the ability of the Fund to dispose of its underlying
securities. The remaining contractual maturity of the repurchase agreement held
by the Fund at March 31, 2019 is overnight and continuous.
Borrowings:
The Fund is party
to a revolving credit agreement (the credit agreement) with BNP Paribas Prime Brokerage
International, Limited (BNPPI). As of March 31, 2019, the Fund has outstanding borrowings
of $70,000,000. During the period ended March 31, 2019, the Fund borrowed an average
daily balance of $69,722,222. The Fund pays a commitment fee of 0.50% per annum
on the unused portion of the credit agreement. The credit agreement has a 179-day
rolling term that resets daily; however, if the Fund exceeds certain net asset value
triggers, the credit agreement may convert to a 60-day rolling term that resets
daily. The Fund is required to pledge portfolio securities as collateral in an amount
up to two times the loan balance outstanding or as otherwise required by applicable
regulatory standards and has granted a security interest in the securities pledged
to, and in favor of, BNPPI as security for the loan balance outstanding. If the
Fund fails to meet certain requirements, or maintain other financial covenants required
under the credit agreement, the Fund may be required to repay immediately, in part
or in full, the loan balance outstanding under the credit agreement which may necessitate
the sale of portfolio securities at potentially inopportune times. BNPPI may terminate
the credit agreement upon certain ratings downgrades of its corporate parent, which
would result in the Funds entire loan balance becoming immediately due and
payable. The occurrence of such ratings downgrades may necessitate the sale of portfolio
securities at potentially inopportune times. The credit agreement also permits,
subject to certain conditions, BNPPI to rehypothecate portfolio securities pledged
by the Fund up to the amount of the loan balance outstanding. The Fund continues
to receive payments in lieu of dividends and interest on rehypothecated securities.
The Fund also has the right under the credit agreement to recall the rehypothecated
securities from BNPPI on demand. If BNPPI fails to deliver the recalled security
in a timely manner, the Fund is compensated by BNPPI for any fees or losses related
to the failed delivery or, in the event a recalled security is not returned by BNPPI,
the Fund, upon notice to BNPPI, may reduce the loan balance outstanding by the value
of the recalled security failed to be returned. The Fund receives a portion of the
fees earned by BNPPI in connection with the rehypothecation of portfolio securities.
Transactions in Affiliated Companies:
An Affiliated Company as defined in the Investment Company Act
of 1940, is a company in which a fund owns 5% or more of the companys outstanding
voting securities at any time during the period. The Fund held the following positions
