ITEM 2. Controls and Procedures

(a) As of October 5, 2015, an evaluation of the effectiveness of the registrant's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 30a-3(c) under the Investment Company Act of 1940) was performed by management with the participation of the registrant's President and Chief Executive Officer (who is the principal executive officer of the registrant) and the registrant’s Chief Financial Officer (who is the principal financial officer of the registrant).  Based on that evaluation, the registrant's President and Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the registrant's disclosure controls and procedures are effectively designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the registrant is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the Commission's rules and forms, and that information required to be disclosed by the registrant has been accumulated and communicated to the registrant's management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

(b) Fair Value Accounting—Accounting standards require certain assets and liabilities be reported at fair value in the financial statements and provides a framework for establishing that fair value.  The framework for determining fair value is based on a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value.

In general, fair values determined by Level 1 inputs use quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Fund has the ability to access.

Fair values determined by Level 2 inputs use other inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly.  These Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and other inputs such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals.

Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs, including inputs that are available in situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the related asset.  These level 3 fair value measurements are based primarily on management’s own estimates using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques taking into account the characteristics of the asset.
