NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)


NOTE 1 — General:


The Alger Portfolios (the “Fund”) is an open-end registered investment company organized as a business trust under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The Fund qualifies as an investment company as defined in Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification 946-Financial Services – Investment Companies. The Fund operates as a series company currently offering seven series of shares of beneficial interest: Alger Capital Appreciation Portfolio, Alger Large Cap Growth Portfolio, Alger Growth & Income Portfolio, Alger Mid Cap Growth Portfolio, Alger Weatherbie Specialized Growth Portfolio, Alger Small Cap Growth Portfolio and Alger Balanced Portfolio (collectively the “Portfolios” and individually a “Portfolio”). Alger Capital Appreciation Portfolio, Alger Large Cap Growth Portfolio, Alger Mid Cap Growth Portfolio, Alger Weatherbie Specialized Growth Portfolio and Alger Small Cap Growth Portfolio invest primarily in equity securities and each has an investment objective of long-term capital appreciation. Alger Growth & Income Portfolio’s investment objectives are capital appreciation and current income; and it also invests primarily in equity securities. Alger Balanced Portfolio’s investment objectives are current income and long-term capital appreciation which it seeks to achieve through investing in equity and fixed-income securities. Shares of the Portfolios are available to investment vehicles for variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies offered by separate accounts of life insurance companies, as well as qualified pension and retirement plans.

Alger Capital Appreciation Portfolio, Alger Large Cap Growth Portfolio and Alger Mid Cap Growth Portfolio offer Class I-2 shares and Class S shares; each class has identical rights to assets and earnings except that only Class S shares have a plan of distribution and bear the related expenses. Alger Growth & Income Portfolio, Alger Weatherbie Specialized Growth Portfolio, Alger Small Cap Growth Portfolio and Alger Balanced Portfolio offer only Class I-2 shares.

NOTE 2 — Significant Accounting Policies:


(a) Investment Valuation: The Portfolios value their financial instruments at fair value using independent dealers or pricing services under policies approved by the Fund’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”). Investments held by the Portfolios are valued on each day the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) is open, as of the close of the NYSE (normally 4:00
p.m. Eastern Time).

Investments in money market funds and short-term securities held by the Portfolios having a remaining maturity of sixty days or less are valued at amortized cost which approximates market value.

Equity securities, including traded rights, warrants and option contracts for which valuation information is readily available, are valued at the last quoted sales price or official closing price on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded as reported by an independent pricing service. In the absence of quoted sales, such securities are valued at the bid price or, in the absence of a recent bid price, the equivalent as obtained from one or more of the major market makers for the securities to be valued.

- 29 -

THE ALGER PORTFOLIOS
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued)


Debt securities generally trade in the over-the-counter market. Debt securities with remaining maturities of more than sixty days at the time of acquisition are valued on the basis of the last available bid prices or current market quotations provided by dealers or pricing services. In determining the value of a particular investment, pricing services may use certain information with respect to transactions in such investments, quotations from dealers, pricing matrixes, market transactions in comparable investments, various relationships observed in the market between investments and calculated yield measures based on valuation technology commonly employed in the market for such investments. Asset-backed and mortgage-backed securities are valued by independent pricing services using models that consider estimated cash flows of each tranche of the security, establish a benchmark yield and develop an estimated tranche-specific spread to the benchmark yield based on the unique attributes of the tranche. Debt securities with a remaining maturity of sixty days or less are valued at amortized cost which approximates market value.

Securities for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value, as determined in good faith pursuant to procedures established by the Board and described further herein.

Securities in which the Portfolios invest may be traded in foreign markets that close before the close of the NYSE. Developments that occur between the close of the foreign markets and the close of the NYSE may result in adjustments to the closing foreign prices to reflect what the Portfolios’ investment adviser, pursuant to policies established by the Board, believes to be the fair value of these securities as of the close of the NYSE. The Portfolios may also fair value securities in other situations, for example, when a particular foreign market is closed but the Portfolios are open.

FASB Accounting Standards Codification 820 – Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”) defines fair value as the price that the Portfolios would receive upon selling an investment in a timely transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market of the investment. ASC 820 established a three-tier hierarchy to maximize the use of observable market data and minimize the use of unobservable inputs and to establish classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability and may be observable or unobservable. Observable inputs are based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Portfolios. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Portfolios’ own assumptions based on the best information available in the circumstances. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized in the three broad Levels listed below.


Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical investments


Level 2 – significant other observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)


Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Portfolios’ own assump- tions in determining the fair value of investments)

THE ALGER PORTFOLIOS
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued)

 
The Portfolios’ valuation techniques are generally consistent with either the market or the income approach to fair value. The market approach considers prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets to measure fair value. The income approach converts future amounts to a current, or discounted, single amount. These fair value measurements are determined on the basis of the value indicated by current market expectations about such future events. Inputs for Level 1 include exchange-listed prices and broker quotes in an active market. Inputs for Level 2 include the last trade price in the case of a halted security, an exchange-listed price which has been adjusted for fair value factors, and prices of closely related securities. Additional Level 2 inputs include an evaluated price which is based upon a compilation of observable market information such as spreads for fixed income and preferred securities. Inputs for Level 3 include, but are not limited to, revenue multiples, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) multiples, discount rates, time to exit and the probabilities of success of certain outcomes. Such unobservable market information may be obtained from a company’s financial statements and from industry studies, market data, and market indicators such as benchmarks and indexes. Because of the inherent uncertainty and often limited markets for restricted securities, the valuations assigned to such securities by the Portfolios may significantly differ from the valuations that would have been assigned by the Portfolios had there been an active market for such securities.

Valuation processes are determined by a Valuation Committee (“Committee”) authorized by the Board and comprised of representatives of the Portfolios’ investment adviser and officers of the Portfolios. The Committee reports its fair valuation determinations and related valuation information to the Board. The Board is responsible for approving the valuation policy and procedures.

While the Committee meets on an as-needed basis, the Committee generally meets quarterly to review and evaluate the effectiveness of the procedures for making fair value determinations. The Committee considers, among other things, the results of quarterly back testing of the fair value model for foreign securities, pricing comparisons between primary and secondary price sources, the outcome of price challenges put to the Portfolios’ pricing vendor, and variances between transactional prices and the previous day’s price.

(b) Cash and Cash Equivalents: Cash and cash equivalents include U.S. dollars, foreign cash and overnight time deposits.

NOTE 3 — Fair Value Measurements:


The major categories of securities and their respective fair value inputs are detailed in the Portfolios’ Schedule of Investments. Based upon the nature, characteristics, and risks associated with its investments as of March 31, 2021, the Portfolios has determined that presenting them by security type and sector is appropriate.

The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Portfolios’ securities are revenue and EBITDA multiples, discount rates, and the probabilities of success of certain outcomes. Significant increases and decreases in these inputs in isolation and interrelationships between these inputs would have resulted in significantly higher or lower fair value measurements than those noted in the table above. Generally, all other things being equal, increases in revenue and EBITDA multiples, decreases in discount rates, and increases in the probabilities of success result in higher fair value measurements, whereas decreases in revenues and EBITDA multiples, increases in discount rates, and decreases in the probabilities of success result in lower fair value measurements.
 
Certain of the Portfolios’ assets and liabilities are held at carrying amount or face value, which approximates fair value for financial statements purposes. As of March 31, 2021, such assets were categorized within the ASC 820 disclosure hierarchy as follows:

THE ALGER PORTFOLIOS
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued)

NOTE 4 — Derivatives:

FASB Accounting Standards Codification 815 – Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”) requires qualitative disclosures about objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosures about fair value amounts of and gains and losses on derivative instruments, and disclosures about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative agreements.

Options—The Portfolios seek to capture the majority of the returns associated with equity market investments. To meet this investment goal, the Portfolios invest in a broadly diversified portfolio of common stocks and may also buy and sell call and put options on equities and equity indexes. The Portfolios may purchase call options to increase its exposure to the stock market and also provide diversification of risk. The Portfolios may purchase put options in order to protect from significant market declines that may occur over a short period of time. The Portfolios may write covered call and cash-secured put options to generate cash flows while reducing the volatility of the portfolios. The cash flows may be an important source of the Portfolios’ return, although written call options may reduce the Portfolios’ ability to profit from increases in the value of the underlying security or equity portfolio. The value of a call option generally increases as the price of the underlying stock increases and decreases as the stock decreases in price. Conversely, the value of a put option generally increases as the price of the underlying stock decreases and decreases as the stock increases in price. The combination of the diversified stock portfolio and the purchase and sale of options is intended to provide the Portfolios with the majority of the returns associated with equity market investments but with reduced volatility and returns that are augmented with the cash flows from the sale of options.

There were no options or other derivative instruments held by the Portfolios throughout the period or as of March 31, 2021.

NOTE 5 — Affiliated Securities:

The issuers of the securities listed below are deemed to be affiliates of the Portfolios because the Portfolios or their affiliates owned 5% or more of the issuer’s voting securities during all or part of the period ended March 31, 2021. Information regarding the Portfolios’ holdings of such securities is set forth in the following table:
