represent
foreign
securities
and
baskets
of
foreign
securities. The
fund
uses
outside
pricing
services
to
provide
it
with
quoted
prices
and
information
to
evaluate
or
adjust
those
prices.
The
fund
cannot
predict
how
often
it
will
use
quoted
prices
and
how
often
it
will
determine
it
necessary
to
adjust
those
prices
to
reflect
fair
value.
Investments
denominated
in
foreign
currencies
are
translated
into
U.S.
dollar
values
each
day
at
the
prevailing
exchange
rate,
using
the
mean
of
the
bid
and
asked
prices
of
such
currencies
against
U.S.
dollars
as
provided
by
an
outside
pricing
service.
Investments
in
mutual
funds
are
valued
at
the
mutual
fund’s
closing
NAV
per
share
on
the
day
of
valuation.
Investments
for
which
market
quotations
or
market-based
valuations
are
not
readily
available
or
deemed
unreliable
are
valued
at
fair
value
as
determined
in
good
faith
by
the
Valuation
Committee,
in
accordance
with
fair
valuation
policies
and
procedures.
The
objective
of
any
fair
value
pricing
determination
is
to
arrive
at
a
price
that
could
reasonably
be
expected
from
a
current
sale.
Financial
instruments
fair
valued
by
the
Valuation
Committee
are
primarily
private
placements,
restricted
securities,
warrants,
rights,
and
other
securities
that
are
not
publicly
traded.
Factors
used
in
determining
fair
value
vary
by
type
of
investment
and
may
include
market
or
investment
specific
considerations.
The
Valuation
Committee
typically
will
afford
greatest
weight
to
actual
prices
in
arm’s
length
transactions,
to
the
extent
they
represent
orderly
transactions
between
market
participants,
transaction
information
can
be
reliably
obtained,
and
prices
are
deemed
representative
of
fair
value.
However,
the
Valuation
Committee
may
also
consider
other
valuation
methods
such
as
market-based
valuation
multiples;
a
discount
or
premium
from
market
value
of
a
similar,
freely
traded
security
of
the
same
issuer;
discounted
cash
flows;
yield
to
maturity;
or
some
combination.
Fair
value
determinations
are
reviewed
on
a
regular
basis
and
updated
as
information
becomes
available,
including
actual
purchase
and
sale
transactions
of
the
investment.
Because
any
fair
value
determination
involves
a
significant
amount
of
judgment,
there
is
a
degree
of
subjectivity
inherent
in
such
pricing
decisions,
and
fair
value
prices
determined
by
the
Valuation
Committee
could
differ
from
those
of
other
market
participants.
