* Certain investments that are measured at fair value using the net asset value per share (or its equivalent) practical expedient have not been categorized in the
fair value hierarchy included to reconcile to the amounts presented in the Portfolio of Investments.
** Value equals zero as of the end of the reporting period.
|
||||||
At the end of each quarter, management evaluates the classification of Levels 1, 2 and 3 assets and liabilities. Various factors are considered, such as changes in liquidity from the prior reporting period;
whether or not a broker is willing to execute at the quoted price; the depth and consistency of prices from third party pricing services; and the existence of contemporaneous, observable trades in the market. Additionally, management
evaluates the classification of Level 1, 2 and 3 assets and liabilities on a quarterly basis for changes in listings or delistings on national exchanges.
|
|||||
Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of investments that do not have a readily available market value, the fair value of the Fund’s investments may fluctuate from period to period.
Additionally, the fair value of investments may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market existed for such investments and may differ materially from the values the Fund may ultimately realize.
Further, such investments may be subject to legal and other restrictions on resale or otherwise less liquid than publicly traded securities.
|
For fair valuations using significant unobservable inputs, U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) requires the Fund to present a reconciliation of the beginning to ending balances for
reported market values that presents changes attributable to total realized and unrealized gains or losses, purchase and sales, and transfers in and out of Level 3 during the period. Transfers in and out between levels are based on values
at the end of the period. A reconciliation of Level 3 investments is presented only when the Fund had an amount of Level 3 investments at the end of the reporting period that was meaningful in relation to its net assets. The amounts and
reasons for all Level 3 transfers are disclosed if the Fund had an amount of tota Level 3 transfers during the reporting period that was meaningful in relation to its net assets as of the end of the reporting period.
|
|||||
For the period ended November 30, 2022, the Fund had no significant Level 3 transfers.
