(‡) Principal Amount stated in U.S. dollars unless otherwise noted.
(†) Fund securities and other investments are valued at market value based on market quotations obtained or determined by independent pricing services recommended by the adviser and approved by the Board of Trustees. Fund securities and other investments for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the adviser pursuant to procedures approved by the Board of Trustees, as described below. Market value is determined as follows:

 

     Listed equity securities (including shares of closed-end investment companies and exchange-traded funds) are valued at the last sale price quoted on the exchange where they are traded most extensively or, if there is no reported sale during the day, the closing bid quotation as reported by an independent pricing service. Securities traded on the NASDAQ Global Select Market, NASDAQ Global Market and NASDAQ Capital Market are valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price (“NOCP”), or if lacking an NOCP, at the most recent bid quotations on the applicable NASDAQ Market. Unlisted equity securities (except unlisted preferred equity securities) are valued at the last sale price quoted in the market where they are traded most extensively or, if there is no reported sale during the day, the closing bid quotation as reported by an independent pricing service. If there is no last sale price or closing bid quotation available, unlisted equity securities will be valued using evaluated bids furnished by an independent pricing service, if available.

 

     In some foreign markets, an official close price and a last sale price may be available from the foreign exchange or market. In those cases, the official close price is used.

 

     Debt securities and unlisted preferred equity securities are valued based on evaluated bids furnished to the Fund by an independent pricing service or bid prices obtained from broker-dealers.

 

     Senior loans are valued at bid prices supplied by an independent pricing service, if available.

 

     Broker-dealer bid prices may be used to value debt and unlisted equity securities and senior loans where an independent pricing service is unable to price a security or where an independent pricing service does not provide a reliable price for the security. Forward foreign currency contracts are valued utilizing interpolated rates determined based on information provided by an independent pricing service.

 

     Fund securities and other investments for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the adviser pursuant to procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. The Fund may also value securities and other investments at fair value in other circumstances such as when extraordinary events occur after the close of a foreign market but prior to the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”). This may include situations relating to a single issuer (such as a declaration of bankruptcy or a delisting of the issuer’s security from the primary market on which it has traded) as well as events affecting the securities markets in general (such as market disruptions or closings and significant fluctuations in U.S. and/or foreign markets). When fair valuing its securities or other investments, the Fund may, among other things, use modeling tools or other processes that may take into account factors such as securities or other market activity and/or significant events that occur after the close of the foreign market and before the time the Fund’s net asset value (“NAV”) is calculated. Fair value pricing may require subjective determinations about the value of a security, and fair values used to determine the Fund’s NAV may differ from quoted or published prices, or from prices that are used by others, for the same securities. In addition, the use of fair value pricing may not always result in adjustments to the prices of securities held by the Fund.

 

     Illiquid securities for which market quotations are readily available and have been evaluated by the adviser are considered and classified as fair valued securities.

 

     As of December 31, 2016, securities of the Fund were fair valued as follows:

 

Equity

   Percentage of
Net Assets

$243,809,819    16.7%   $3,129,009    0.2%   $125,608    Less than 0.1%

 

     1 Certain foreign equity securities were fair valued pursuant to procedures approved by the Board of Trustees as events occurring after the close of the foreign market were believed to materially affect the value of those securities.

 

     The books and records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. The values of securities, currencies and other assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars are translated into U.S. dollars based upon foreign exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period.

(a) Federal Tax Information (Amounts exclude certain adjustments that will be made at the end of the Fund’s fiscal year for tax purposes. Such adjustments are primarily due to wash sales. Amortization of premium on debt securities is excluded for tax purposes.):

At December 31, 2016, the net unrealized appreciation on investments based on a cost of $1,306,065,579 for federal income tax purposes was as follows:

 

Aggregate gross unrealized appreciation for all investments in which there is an excess of value over tax cost

   $ 180,072,299  

Aggregate gross unrealized depreciation for all investments in which there is an excess of tax cost over value

     (31,688,583
  

 

 

 

Net unrealized appreciation

   $ 148,383,716  
  

 

 

 

At September 30, 2016, the Fund had a short-term capital loss carryforward of $5,511,225 with no expiration date. This amount may be available to offset future realized capital gains, to the extent provided by regulations.

 

(b) Non-income producing security.
(c) Fair valued by the Fund’s adviser. At December 31, 2016, the value of these securities amounted to $125,608 or less than 0.1% of net assets.

(e) Perpetual bond with no specified maturity date.
(f) Illiquid security.

(h) Variable rate security. Rate as of December 31, 2016 is disclosed.
(i) Treasury Inflation Protected Security (TIPS).
(j) Security (or a portion thereof) has been pledged as collateral for open derivative contracts.
(k) Coupon rate is a fixed rate for an initial period then resets at a specified date and rate.
(l) Position is unsettled. Contract rate was not determined at December 31, 2016 and does not take effect until settlement date. Maturity date is not finalized until settlement date.
(m) The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements, under the terms of a Master Repurchase Agreement, under which the Fund acquires securities as collateral and agrees to resell the securities at an agreed upon time and at an agreed upon price. It is the Fund’s policy that the market value of the collateral for repurchase agreements be at least equal to 102% of the repurchase price, including interest. Certain repurchase agreements are tri-party arrangements whereby the collateral is held in a segregated account for the benefit of the Fund and on behalf of the counterparty. Repurchase agreements could involve certain risks in the event of default or insolvency of the counterparty, including possible delays or restrictions upon the Fund’s ability to dispose of the underlying securities. As of December 31, 2016, the Fund had investments in repurchase agreements for which the value of the related collateral exceeded the value of the repurchase agreement.

 

144A All or a portion of these securities are exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933. These securities may be resold in transactions exempt from registration, normally to qualified institutional buyers. At December 31, 2016, the value of Rule 144A holdings amounted to $116,066,031 or 8.0% of net assets.

Forward Foreign Currency Contracts

The Fund may enter into forward foreign currency contracts, including forward foreign cross currency contracts, to acquire exposure to foreign currencies or to hedge the Fund’s investments against currency fluctuation. A contract can also be used to offset a previous contract. These contracts involve market risk in excess of the unrealized gain or loss. The U.S. dollar value of the currencies the Fund has committed to buy or sell represents the aggregate exposure to each currency the Fund has acquired or hedged through currency contracts outstanding at period end. Gains or losses are recorded for financial statement purposes as unrealized until settlement date. Contracts are traded over-the-counter directly with a counterparty. Risks may arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from unanticipated movements in the value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar. Certain contracts may require the movement of cash and/or securities as collateral for the Fund’s or counterparty’s net obligations under the contracts.

At December 31, 2016, the Fund had the following open forward foreign currency contracts:

Fair Value Measurements

In accordance with accounting standards related to fair value measurements and disclosures, the Fund has categorized the inputs utilized in determining the value of the Fund’s assets or liabilities. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

 

    Level 1—quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

 

    Level 2—prices determined using other significant inputs that are observable either directly, or indirectly through corroboration with observable market data (which could include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, interest rates, credit risk, etc.); and

 

    Level 3—prices determined using significant unobservable inputs when quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable such as when there is little or no market activity for an asset or liability (unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of assets or liabilities and would be based on the best information available).

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.


The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s investments as of December 31, 2016, at value:

* Details of the major categories of the Fund’s investments are reflected within the Portfolio of Investments.
(a) Fair valued by the Fund’s adviser.
(b) Valued using broker-dealer bid prices for which the inputs are unobservable to the Fund.

The Fund’s pricing policies and procedures are recommended by the adviser and approved by the Board of Trustees. Debt securities are valued based on evaluated bids furnished to the Fund by an independent pricing service. Broker-dealer bid prices may be used if an independent pricing service either is unable to price a security or does not provide a reliable price for a security. Broker-dealer bid prices for which the Fund does not have knowledge of the inputs used by the broker-dealer are categorized in Level 3. All security prices, including those obtained from an independent pricing service and broker-dealer bid prices, are reviewed on a daily basis by the adviser, subject to oversight by Fund management and the Board of Trustees. If the adviser, in good faith, believes that the price provided by an independent pricing service is unreliable, broker-dealer bid prices may be used until the price provided by the independent pricing service is considered to be reliable. Reliability of all security prices, including those obtained from an independent pricing service and broker-dealer bid prices, is tested in a variety of ways, including comparison to recent transaction prices and daily fluctuations, amongst other validation procedures in place. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Fund’s adviser pursuant to procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Fair valued securities may be categorized in Level 3.

The following is a reconciliation of Level 3 investments for which significant unobservable inputs were used to determine fair values as of September 30, 2016 and/or December 31, 2016:

A debt security valued at $19,723 was transferred from Level 2 to Level 3 during the period ended December 31, 2016. At September 30, 2016, this security was valued on the basis of evaluated bids furnished to the Fund by an independent pricing service in accordance with the Fund’s valuation policies. At December 31, 2016, this security was valued using broker-dealer bid prices based on inputs unobservable to the Fund as an independent pricing service did not provide a reliable price for the security.

Warrants valued at $3,776 was transferred from Level 3 to Level 1 during the period ended December 31, 2016. At September 30, 2016, this security was valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Fund’s investment adviser as an independent pricing service did not provide a reliable price for the security. At December 31, 2016, this security was valued at the last sale price in accordance with the Fund’s valuation policies.

All transfers are recognized as of the beginning of the reporting period.

Derivatives

Derivative instruments are defined as financial instruments whose value and performance are based on the value and performance of an underlying asset, reference rate or index. Derivative instruments that the Fund used during the period include forward foreign currency contracts.

The Fund is subject to the risk that changes in foreign currency exchange rates will have an unfavorable effect on the value of Fund assets denominated in foreign currencies. The Fund may enter into forward foreign currency contracts for hedging purposes to protect the value of the Fund’s holdings of foreign securities. The Fund may also use forward foreign currency contracts to gain exposure to foreign currencies, regardless of whether securities denominated in such currencies are held in the Fund. During the period ended December 31, 2016, the Fund engaged in forward foreign currency transactions for hedging purposes and to gain exposure to foreign currencies.

The following is a summary of derivative instruments for the Fund, as of December 31, 2016:

The Fund’s derivatives do not qualify for hedge accounting under authoritative guidance for derivative instruments. The Fund’s investments in derivatives may represent an economic hedge; however, they are considered to be non-hedge transactions for the purpose of this disclosure.

Over-the-counter derivatives, including forward foreign currency contracts, are entered into pursuant to International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. (“ISDA”) agreements negotiated between the Fund and its counterparties. ISDA agreements typically contain, among other things, terms for posting of collateral and master netting provisions in the event of a default or other termination event. Collateral is posted by the Fund or the counterparty to the extent of the net mark-to-market exposure to the other party of all open contracts under the agreement, subject to minimum transfer requirements. Master netting provisions allow the Fund and the counterparty, in the event of a default or other termination event, to offset amounts owed by each related to derivative contracts, including any posted collateral, to one net amount payable by either the Fund or the counterparty. The Fund’s ISDA agreements typically contain provisions that allow a counterparty to terminate open contracts early if the NAV of the Fund declines beyond a certain threshold. As of December 31, 2016, the fair value of derivative positions subject to these provisions that are in a net liability position by counterparty, and the value of collateral pledged to counterparties for such contracts is as follows:

 

Counterparty

   Derivatives      Collateral Pledged  

Citibank N.A.

   $ (1,997    $ —    

Morgan Stanley & Co.

     (509,108      808,078  

Timing differences may exist between when contracts under the ISDA agreement are marked-to-market and when collateral moves. The ISDA agreements include tri-party control agreements under which collateral is held for the benefit of the secured party at a third party custodian, State Street Bank.

Counterparty risk is managed based on policies and procedures established by the Fund’s adviser. Such policies and procedures may include, but are not limited to, minimum counterparty credit rating requirements, monitoring of counterparty credit default swap spreads and posting of collateral. The Fund’s risk of loss from counterparty credit risk on over-the-counter derivatives is generally limited to the Fund’s aggregated unrealized gains and the amount of any collateral pledged to the counterparty, which may be offset by any collateral posted to the Fund by the counterparty. ISDA master agreements can help to manage counterparty risk by specifying collateral posting arrangements at pre-arranged exposure levels. Under these ISDA agreements, collateral is routinely transferred if the total net exposure in respect of certain transactions, net of existing collateral already in place, exceeds a specified amount (typically $250,000, depending on the counterparty). With exchange-traded derivatives, there is minimal counterparty credit risk to the Fund because the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to these instruments, stands between the buyer and the seller of the contract. Credit risk still exists in exchange-traded derivatives with respect to initial and variation margin that is held in a broker’s customer accounts. While brokers are required to segregate customer margin from their own assets, in the event that a broker becomes insolvent or goes into bankruptcy and at that time there is a shortfall in the aggregate amount of margin held by the broker for all its clients, U.S. bankruptcy laws will typically allocate that shortfall on a pro rata basis across all of the broker’s customers, potentially resulting in losses to the Fund. The following table shows (i) the maximum amount of loss due to credit risk that, based on the gross fair value of the financial instrument, the Fund would incur if parties (including OTC derivative counterparties and brokers holding margin for exchange-traded derivatives) to the relevant financial instruments failed completely to perform according to the terms of the contracts and the collateral or other security, if any, for the amount due proved to be of no value to the Fund, and (ii) the amount of loss that the Fund would incur after taking into account master netting provisions pursuant to ISDA agreements, as of December 31, 2016:

 

Maximum Amount

of Loss - Gross

   Maximum Amount
of Loss - Net
 

$1,849,539

   $ 298,970  

These amounts include cash received as collateral of $430,000.

(†) Fund securities and other investments are valued at market value based on market quotations obtained or determined by independent pricing services recommended by the adviser and approved by the Board of Trustees. Fund securities and other investments for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the adviser pursuant to procedures approved by the Board of Trustees, as described below. Market value is determined as follows:

Listed equity securities (including shares of closed-end investment companies and exchange-traded funds) are valued at the last sale price quoted on the exchange where they are traded most extensively or, if there is no reported sale during the day, the closing bid quotation as reported by an independent pricing service. Securities traded on the NASDAQ Global Select Market, NASDAQ Global Market and NASDAQ Capital Market are valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price (“NOCP”), or if lacking an NOCP, at the most recent bid quotations on the applicable NASDAQ Market. Unlisted equity securities (except unlisted preferred equity securities) are valued at the last sale price quoted in the market where they are traded most extensively or, if there is no reported sale during the day, the closing bid quotation as reported by an independent pricing service. If there is no last sale price or closing bid quotation available, unlisted equity securities will be valued using evaluated bids furnished by an independent pricing service, if available.

Debt securities and unlisted preferred equity securities are valued based on evaluated bids furnished to the Fund by an independent pricing service or bid prices obtained from broker-dealers.

In some foreign markets, an official close price and a last sale price may be available from the foreign exchange or market. In those cases, the official close price is used.

Broker-dealer bid prices may be used to value debt and unlisted equity securities where an independent pricing service is unable to price a security or where an independent pricing service does not provide a reliable price for the security.

Fund securities and other investments for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the adviser pursuant to procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. The Fund may also value securities and other investments at fair value in other circumstances such as when extraordinary events occur after the close of a foreign market but prior to the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”). This may include situations relating to a single issuer (such as a declaration of bankruptcy or a delisting of the issuer’s security from the primary market on which it has traded) as well as events affecting the securities markets in general (such as market disruptions or closings and significant fluctuations in U.S. and/or foreign markets). When fair valuing its securities or other investments, the Fund may, among other things, use modeling tools or other processes that may take into account factors such as securities or other market activity and/or significant events that occur after the close of the foreign market and before the time the Fund’s net asset value (“NAV”) is calculated. Fair value pricing may require subjective determinations about the value of a security, and fair values used to determine the Fund’s NAV may differ from quoted or published prices, or from prices that are used by others, for the same securities. In addition, the use of fair value pricing may not always result in adjustments to the prices of securities held by the Fund.

The books and records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. The values of securities, currencies and other assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars are translated into U.S. dollars based upon foreign exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period.

 

(a) Federal Tax Information (Amounts exclude certain adjustments that will be made at the end of the Fund’s fiscal year for tax purposes. Such adjustments are primarily due to wash sales.):

At December 31, 2016, the net unrealized appreciation on investments based on a cost of $4,466,449,890 for federal income tax purposes was as follows:

 

Aggregate gross unrealized appreciation for all investments in which there is an excess of value over tax cost

   $ 450,231,370  

Aggregate gross unrealized depreciation for all investments in which there is an excess of tax cost over value

     (110,382,324
  

 

 

 

Net unrealized appreciation

   $ 339,849,046  
  

 

 

 

 

(b) Non-income producing security.
(c) The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements, under the terms of a Master Repurchase Agreement, under which the Fund acquires securities as collateral and agrees to resell the securities at an agreed upon time and at an agreed upon price. It is the Fund’s policy that the market value of the collateral for repurchase agreements be at least equal to 102% of the repurchase price, including interest. Certain repurchase agreements are tri-party arrangements whereby the collateral is held in a segregated account for the benefit of the Fund and on behalf of the counterparty. Repurchase agreements could involve certain risks in the event of default or insolvency of the counterparty, including possible delays or restrictions upon the Fund’s ability to dispose of the underlying securities. As of December 31, 2016, the Fund had an investment in a repurchase agreement for which the value of the related collateral exceeded the value of the repurchase agreement.


ADR    An American Depositary Receipt is a certificate issued by a custodian bank representing the right to receive securities
of the foreign issuer described. The values of ADRs may be significantly influenced by trading on exchanges not
located in the United States.

Fair Value Measurements

In accordance with accounting standards related to fair value measurements and disclosures, the Fund has categorized the inputs utilized in determining the value of the Fund’s assets or liabilities. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

 

    Level 1—quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

 

    Level 2—prices determined using other significant inputs that are observable either directly, or indirectly through corroboration with observable market data (which could include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, interest rates, credit risk, etc.); and

 

    Level 3—prices determined using significant unobservable inputs when quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable such as when there is little or no market activity for an asset or liability (unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of assets or liabilities and would be based on the best information available).

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s investments as of December 31, 2016, at value:

(†) Fund securities and other investments are valued at market value based on market quotations obtained or determined by independent pricing services recommended by the adviser and approved by the Board of Trustees. Fund securities and other investments for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the adviser pursuant to procedures approved by the Board of Trustees, as described below. Market value is determined as follows: Debt securities and unlisted preferred equity securities are valued based on evaluated bids furnished to the Fund by an independent pricing service or bid prices obtained from broker-dealers.

Senior loans are valued at bid prices supplied by an independent pricing service, if available.

Listed equity securities (including shares of closed-end investment companies and exchange-traded funds) are valued at the last sale price quoted on the exchange where they are traded most extensively or, if there is no reported sale during the day, the closing bid quotation as reported by an independent pricing service. Securities traded on the NASDAQ Global Select Market, NASDAQ Global Market and NASDAQ Capital Market are valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price (“NOCP”), or if lacking an NOCP, at the most recent bid quotations on the applicable NASDAQ Market. Unlisted equity securities (except unlisted preferred equity securities) are valued at the last sale price quoted in the market where they are traded most extensively or, if there is no reported sale during the day, the closing bid quotation as reported by an independent pricing service. If there is no last sale price or closing bid quotation available, unlisted equity securities will be valued using evaluated bids furnished by an independent pricing service, if available.

In some foreign markets, an official close price and a last sale price may be available from the foreign exchange or market. In those cases, the official close price is used.

Broker-dealer bid prices may be used to value debt and unlisted equity securities and senior loans where an independent pricing service is unable to price a security or where an independent pricing service does not provide a reliable price for the security. Forward foreign currency contracts are valued utilizing interpolated rates determined based on information provided by an independent pricing service.

Futures contracts are valued at the most recent settlement price on the exchange on which the adviser believes that, over time, they are traded most extensively.

Fund securities and other investments for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the adviser pursuant to procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. The Fund may also value securities and other investments at fair value in other circumstances such as when extraordinary events occur after the close of a foreign market but prior to the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”). This may include situations relating to a single issuer (such as a declaration of bankruptcy or a delisting of the issuer’s security from the primary market on which it has traded) as well as events affecting the securities markets in general (such as market disruptions or closings and significant fluctuations in U.S. and/or foreign markets). When fair valuing its securities or other investments, the Fund may, among other things, use modeling tools or other processes that may take into account factors such as securities or other market activity and/or significant events that occur after the close of the foreign market and before the time the Fund’s net asset value (“NAV”) is calculated. Fair value pricing may require subjective determinations about the value of a security, and fair values used to determine the Fund’s NAV may differ from quoted or published prices, or from prices that are used by others, for the same securities. In addition, the use of fair value pricing may not always result in adjustments to the prices of securities held by the Fund.

Illiquid securities for which market quotations are readily available and have been evaluated by the adviser are considered and classified as fair valued securities.

As of December 31, 2016, securities of the Fund included in net assets (reflected at absolute value) were fair valued as follows:

 

Securities classified as

   Percentage of
Net Assets

   1.2%   $1,019,137    0.6%

The books and records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. The values of securities, currencies and other assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars are translated into U.S. dollars based upon foreign exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period.

 

(††) Amount shown represents units. One unit represents a principal amount of 100.
(a) Federal Tax Information (Amounts exclude certain adjustments that will be made at the end of the Fund’s fiscal year for tax purposes. Such adjustments are primarily due to wash sales. Amortization of premium on debt securities is excluded for tax purposes.):


At December 31, 2016, the net unrealized depreciation on investments based on a cost of $171,263,381 for federal income tax purposes was as follows:

 

Aggregate gross unrealized appreciation for all investments in which there is an excess of value over tax cost

   $ 8,776,218  

Aggregate gross unrealized depreciation for all investments in which there is an excess of tax cost over value

     (12,877,376

   $ (4,101,158
  

 

 

 

At September 30, 2016, the Fund had a short-term capital loss carryforward of $251,066 with no expiration date and a long-term capital loss carryforward of $2,330,822 with no expiration date. These amounts may be available to offset future realized capital gains, if any, to the extent provided by regulations.

 

(b) Variable rate security. Rate as of December 31, 2016 is disclosed.
(c) Fair valued by the Fund’s adviser. At December 31, 2016, the value of these securities amounted to $1,019,137 or 0.6% of net assets.
(d) Security (or a portion thereof) has been designated to cover the Fund’s obligations under open derivative contracts.
(e) Payment-in-kind security for which the issuer has the option at each interest payment date of making interest payments in cash or additional debt securities. For the period ended December 31, 2016, interest payments were made in cash and additional debt securities.
(f) The issuer is in default with respect to interest and/or principal payments. Income is not being accrued.
(g) Illiquid security.
(h) Securities classified as fair valued pursuant to the Fund’s pricing policies and procedures. At December 31, 2016, the value of these securities amounted to $1,911,237 or 1.2% of net assets.
(i) Non-income producing security.
(j) Coupon rate is a fixed rate for an initial period then resets at a specified date and rate.
(k) Payment-in-kind security for which the issuer has the option at each interest payment date of making interest payments in cash or additional debt securities. For the period ended December 31, 2016, the issuer has not made any interest payments.
(l) Position is unsettled. Contract rate was not determined at December 31, 2016 and does not take effect until settlement date. Maturity date is not finalized until settlement date.
(m) The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements, under the terms of a Master Repurchase Agreement, under which the Fund acquires securities as collateral and agrees to resell the securities at an agreed upon time and at an agreed upon price. It is the Fund’s policy that the market value of the collateral for repurchase agreements be at least equal to 102% of the repurchase price, including interest. Certain repurchase agreements are tri-party arrangements whereby the collateral is held in a segregated account for the benefit of the Fund and on behalf of the counterparty. Repurchase agreements could involve certain risks in the event of default or insolvency of the counterparty, including possible delays or restrictions upon the Fund’s ability to dispose of the underlying securities. As of December 31, 2016, the Fund had an investment in repurchase agreements for which the value of the related collateral exceeded the value of the repurchase agreement.
(n) Interest rate represents discount rate at time of purchase; not a coupon rate.

 

144A All or a portion of these securities are exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933. These securities may be resold in transactions exempt from registration, normally to qualified institutional buyers. At December 31, 2016, the value of Rule 144A holdings amounted to $57,243,291 or 34.5% of net assets.

Forward Foreign Currency Contracts

The Fund may enter into forward foreign currency contracts, including forward foreign cross currency contracts, to acquire exposure to foreign currencies or to hedge the Fund’s investments against currency fluctuation. A contract can also be used to offset a previous contract. These contracts involve market risk in excess of the unrealized gain or loss. The U.S. dollar value of the currencies the Fund has committed to buy or sell represents the aggregate exposure to each currency the Fund has acquired or hedged through currency contracts outstanding at period end. Gains or losses are recorded for financial statement purposes as unrealized until settlement date. Contracts are traded over-the-counter directly with a counterparty. Risks may arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from unanticipated movements in the value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar. Certain contracts may require the movement of cash and/or securities as collateral for the Fund’s or counterparty’s net obligations under the contracts.

At December 31, 2016, the Fund had the following open forward foreign currency contracts:

Fair Value Measurements

In accordance with accounting standards related to fair value measurements and disclosures, the Fund has categorized the inputs utilized in determining the value of the Fund’s assets or liabilities. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

 

    Level 1—quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

 

    Level 2—prices determined using other significant inputs that are observable either directly, or indirectly through corroboration with observable market data (which could include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, interest rates, credit risk, etc.); and

 

    Level 3—prices determined using significant unobservable inputs when quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable such as when there is little or no market activity for an asset or liability (unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of assets or liabilities and would be based on the best information available).

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s investments as of December 31, 2016, at value:

* Details of the major categories of the Fund’s investments are reflected within the Portfolio of Investments.
(a) Fair valued by the Fund’s adviser.
(b) Valued using broker-dealer bid prices.
(c) Fair valued by the Fund’s adviser using broker-dealer bid prices for which the inputs are unobservable to the Fund.
(d) Includes a security fair valued at zero using Level 2 inputs.

The Fund’s pricing policies and procedures are recommended by the adviser and approved by the Board of Trustees. Debt securities are valued based on evaluated bids furnished to the Fund by an independent pricing service. Broker-dealer bid prices may be used if an independent pricing service either is unable to price a security or does not provide a reliable price for a security. Broker-dealer bid prices for which the Fund does not have knowledge of the inputs used by the broker-dealer are categorized in Level 3. All security prices, including those obtained from an independent pricing service and broker-dealer bid prices, are reviewed on a daily basis by the adviser, subject to oversight by Fund management and the Board of Trustees. If the adviser, in good faith, believes that the price provided by an independent pricing service is unreliable, broker-dealer bid prices may be used until the price provided by the independent pricing service is considered to be reliable. Reliability of all security prices, including those obtained from an independent pricing service and broker-dealer bid prices, is tested in a variety of ways, including comparison to recent transaction prices and daily fluctuations, amongst other validation procedures in place. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Fund’s adviser pursuant to procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Fair valued securities may be categorized in Level 3.

The following is a reconciliation of Level 3 investments for which significant unobservable inputs were used to determine fair value as of September 30, 2016 and/or December 31, 2016:

Derivatives

Derivative instruments are defined as financial instruments whose value and performance are based on the value and performance of an underlying asset, reference rate or index. Derivative instruments that the Fund used during the period include forward foreign currency contracts.

The Fund is subject to the risk that changes in foreign currency exchange rates will have an unfavorable effect on the value of Fund assets denominated in foreign currencies. The Fund may enter into forward foreign currency contracts for hedging purposes to protect the value of the Fund’s holdings of foreign securities. The Fund may also use forward foreign currency contracts to gain exposure to foreign currencies, regardless of whether securities denominated in such currencies are held in the Fund. During the period ended December 31, 2016, the Fund engaged in forward foreign currency transactions for hedging purposes.

The following is a summary of derivative instruments for the Fund, as of December 31, 2016:

The Fund’s derivatives do not qualify for hedge accounting under authoritative guidance for derivative instruments. The Fund’s investments in derivatives may represent an economic hedge; however, they are considered to be non-hedge transactions for the purpose of this disclosure.

Over-the-counter derivatives, including forward foreign currency contracts, are entered into pursuant to International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. (“ISDA”) agreements negotiated between the Fund and its counterparties. ISDA agreements typically contain, among other things, terms for the posting of collateral and master netting provisions in the event of a default or other termination event. Collateral is posted by the Fund or the counterparty to the extent of the net mark-to-market exposure to the other party of all open contracts under the agreement, subject to minimum transfer requirements. Master netting provisions allow the Fund and the counterparty, in the event of a default or other termination event, to offset amounts owed by each related to derivative contracts, including any posted collateral, to one net amount payable by either the Fund or the counterparty. The Fund’s ISDA agreements typically contain provisions that allow a counterparty to terminate open contracts early if the net asset value of the Fund declines beyond a certain threshold. As of December 31, 2016, the fair value of derivative positions subject to these provisions that are in a net liability position by counterparty.

Counterparty risk is managed based on policies and procedures established by the Fund’s adviser. Such policies and procedures may include, but are not limited to, minimum counterparty credit rating requirements, monitoring of counterparty credit default swap spreads and posting of collateral. The Fund’s risk of loss from counterparty credit risk on over-the-counter derivatives is generally limited to the Fund’s aggregated unrealized gains and the amount of any collateral pledged to the counterparty, which may be offset by any collateral posted to the Fund by the counterparty. ISDA master agreements can help to manage counterparty risk by specifying collateral posting arrangements at pre-arranged exposure levels. Under these ISDA agreements, collateral is routinely transferred if the total net exposure in respect of certain transactions, net of existing collateral already in place, exceeds a specified amount (typically $250,000, depending on the counterparty). With exchange-traded


derivatives, there is minimal counterparty credit risk to the Fund because the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to these instruments, stands between the buyer and the seller of the contract. Credit risk still exists in exchange-traded derivatives with respect to initial and variation margin that is held in a broker’s customer accounts. While brokers are required to segregate customer margin from their own assets, in the event that a broker becomes insolvent or goes into bankruptcy and at that time there is a shortfall in the aggregate amount of margin held by the broker for all its clients, U.S. bankruptcy laws will typically allocate that shortfall on a pro rata basis across all of the broker’s customers, potentially resulting in losses to the Fund. The following table shows (i) the maximum amount of loss due to credit risk that, based on the gross fair value of the financial instrument, the Fund would incur if parties to the relevant financial instruments failed completely to perform according to the terms of the contracts and the collateral or other security, if any, for the amount due proved to be of no value to the Fund, and (ii) the amount of loss that the Fund would incur after taking into account master netting provisions pursuant to ISDA agreements, as of December 31, 2016:

(†) Fund securities and other investments are valued at market value based on market quotations obtained or determined by independent pricing services recommended by the adviser and approved by the Board of Trustees. Fund securities and other investments for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the adviser pursuant to procedures approved by the Board of Trustees, as described below. Market value is determined as follows: Debt securities and unlisted preferred equity securities are valued based on evaluated bids furnished to the Fund by an independent pricing service or bid prices obtained from broker-dealers.

 

     Senior loans are valued at bid prices supplied by an independent pricing service, if available.

Listed equity securities (including shares of closed-end investment companies and exchange-traded funds) are valued at the last sale price quoted on the exchange where they are traded most extensively or, if there is no reported sale during the day, the closing bid quotation as reported by an independent pricing service. Securities traded on the NASDAQ Global Select Market, NASDAQ Global Market and NASDAQ Capital Market are valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price (“NOCP”), or if lacking an NOCP, at the most recent bid quotations on the applicable NASDAQ Market. Unlisted equity securities (except unlisted preferred equity securities) are valued at the last sale price quoted in the market where they are traded most extensively or, if there is no reported sale during the day, the closing bid quotation as reported by an independent pricing service. If there is no last sale price or closing bid quotation available, unlisted equity securities will be valued using evaluated bids furnished by an independent pricing service, if available.

In some foreign markets, an official close price and a last sale price may be available from the foreign exchange or market. In those cases, the official close price is used.

Broker-dealer bid prices may be used to value debt and unlisted equity securities and senior loans where an independent pricing service is unable to price a security or where an independent pricing service does not provide a reliable price for the security. Forward foreign currency contracts are valued utilizing interpolated rates determined based on information provided by an independent pricing service.

Fund securities and other investments for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the adviser pursuant to procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. The Fund may also value securities and other investments at fair value in other circumstances such as when extraordinary events occur after the close of a foreign market but prior to the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”). This may include situations relating to a single issuer (such as a declaration of bankruptcy or a delisting of the issuer’s security from the primary market on which it has traded) as well as events affecting the securities markets in general (such as market disruptions or closings and significant fluctuations in U.S. and/or foreign markets). When fair valuing its securities or other investments, the Fund may, among other things, use modeling tools or other processes that may take into account factors such as securities or other market activity and/or significant events that occur after the close of the foreign market and before the time the Fund’s net asset value (“NAV”) is calculated. Fair value pricing may require subjective determinations about the value of a security, and fair values used to determine the Fund’s NAV may differ from quoted or published prices, or from prices that are used by others, for the same securities. In addition, the use of fair value pricing may not always result in adjustments to the prices of securities held by the Fund.

Illiquid securities for which market quotations are readily available and have been evaluated by the adviser are considered and classified as fair valued securities.

As of December 31, 2016, securities of the Fund were fair valued as follows:

The books and records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. The values of securities, currencies and other assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars are translated into U.S. dollars based upon foreign exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period.

(a) Federal Tax Information (Amounts exclude certain adjustments that will be made at the end of the Fund’s fiscal year for tax purposes. Such adjustments are primarily due to wash sales. Amortization of premium on debt securities is excluded for tax purposes.):

At December 31, 2016, the net unrealized depreciation on investments based on a cost of $6,215,617,466 for federal income tax purposes was as follows:

 

Aggregate gross unrealized appreciation for all investments in which there is an excess of value over tax cost    $408,208,519
Aggregate gross unrealized depreciation for all investments in which there is an excess of tax cost over value    (563,650,114)
  

 

Net unrealized depreciation    $(155,441,595)
  

 

 

(b) Illiquid security.
(c) Securities classified as fair valued pursuant to the Fund’s pricing policies and procedures. At December 31, 2016, the value of these securities amounted to $158,245,335 or 2.6% of net assets.
(d) Variable rate security. Rate as of December 31, 2016 is disclosed.
(e) Coupon rate is a fixed rate for an initial period then resets at a specified date and rate.
(f) Perpetual bond with no specified maturity date.
(g) The issuer is in default with respect to interest and/or principal payments. Income is not being accrued.
(h) Payment-in-kind security for which the issuer has the option at each interest payment date of making interest payments in cash or additional debt securities.
(i) Fair valued by the Fund’s adviser. At December 31, 2016, the value of this security amounted to $676 or less than 0.1% of net assets.
(j) Non-income producing security.
(k) The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements, under the terms of a Master Repurchase Agreement, under which the Fund acquires securities as collateral and agrees to resell the securities at an agreed upon time and at an agreed upon price. It is the Fund’s policy that the market value of the collateral for repurchase agreements be at least equal to 102% of the repurchase price, including interest. Certain repurchase agreements are tri-party arrangements whereby the collateral is held in a segregated account for the benefit of the Fund and on behalf of the counterparty. Repurchase agreements could involve certain risks in the event of default or insolvency of the counterparty, including possible delays or restrictions upon the Fund’s ability to dispose of the underlying securities. As of December 31, 2016, the Fund had an investment in a repurchase agreement for which the value of the related collateral exceeded the value of the repurchase agreement.

 

144A All or a portion of these securities are exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933. These securities may be resold in transactions exempt from registration, normally to qualified institutional buyers. At December 31, 2016, the value of Rule 144A holdings amounted to $833,751,448 or 13.6% of net assets.

Fair Value Measurements

In accordance with accounting standards related to fair value measurements and disclosures, the Fund has categorized the inputs utilized in determining the value of the Fund’s assets or liabilities. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

 

    Level 1—quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

 

    Level 2—prices determined using other significant inputs that are observable either directly, or indirectly through corroboration with observable market data (which could include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, interest rates, credit risk, etc.); and

 

    Level 3—prices determined using significant unobservable inputs when quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable such as when there is little or no market activity for an asset or liability (unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of assets or liabilities and would be based on the best information available).

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s investments as of December 31, 2016, at value:

* Details of the major categories of the Fund’s investments are reflected within the Portfolio of Investments.
(a) Valued using broker-dealer bid prices.
(b) Fair valued by the Fund’s adviser.

The Fund’s pricing policies and procedures are recommended by the adviser and approved by the Board of Trustees. Debt securities are valued based on evaluated bids furnished to the Fund by an independent pricing service. Broker-dealer bid prices may be used if an independent pricing service either is unable to price a security or does not provide a reliable price for a security. Broker-dealer bid prices for which the Fund does not have knowledge of the inputs used by the broker-dealer are categorized in Level 3. All security prices, including those obtained from an independent pricing service and broker-dealer bid prices, are reviewed on a daily basis by the adviser, subject to oversight by Fund management


and the Board of Trustees. If the adviser, in good faith, believes that the price provided by an independent pricing service is unreliable, broker-dealer bid prices may be used until the price provided by the independent pricing service is considered to be reliable. Reliability of all security prices, including those obtained from an independent pricing service and broker-dealer bid prices, is tested in a variety of ways, including comparison to recent transaction prices and daily fluctuations, amongst other validation procedures in place. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Fund’s adviser pursuant to procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Fair valued securities may be categorized in Level 3.

The following is a reconciliation of Level 3 investments for which significant unobservable inputs were used to determine fair value as of September 30, 2016 and/or December 31, 2016:

(†) Fund securities and other investments are valued at market value based on market quotations obtained or determined by independent pricing services recommended by the adviser and approved by the Board of Trustees. Fund securities and other investments for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the adviser pursuant to procedures approved by the Board of Trustees, as described below. Market value is determined as follows: Debt securities and unlisted preferred equity securities are valued based on evaluated bids furnished to the Fund by an independent pricing service or bid prices obtained from broker-dealers.

Listed equity securities (including shares of closed-end investment companies and exchange-traded funds) are valued at the last sale price quoted on the exchange where they are traded most extensively or, if there is no reported sale during the day, the closing bid quotation as reported by an independent pricing service. Securities traded on the NASDAQ Global Select Market, NASDAQ Global Market and NASDAQ Capital Market are valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price (“NOCP”), or if lacking an NOCP, at the most recent bid quotations on the applicable NASDAQ Market. Unlisted equity securities (except unlisted preferred equity securities) are valued at the last sale price quoted in the market where they are traded most extensively or, if there is no reported sale during the day, the closing bid quotation as reported by an independent pricing service. If there is no last sale price or closing bid quotation available, unlisted equity securities will be valued using evaluated bids furnished by an independent pricing service, if available.

In some foreign markets, an official close price and a last sale price may be available from the foreign exchange or market. In those cases, the official close price is used.

Broker-dealer bid prices may be used to value debt and unlisted equity securities where an independent pricing service is unable to price a security or where an independent pricing service does not provide a reliable price for the security.

Fund securities and other investments for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the adviser pursuant to procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. The Fund may also value securities and other investments at fair value in other circumstances such as when extraordinary events occur after the close of a foreign market but prior to the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”). This may include situations relating to a single issuer (such as a declaration of bankruptcy or a delisting of the issuer’s security from the primary market on which it has traded) as well as events affecting the securities markets in general (such as market disruptions or closings and significant fluctuations in U.S. and/or foreign markets). When fair valuing its securities or other investments, the Fund may, among other things, use modeling tools or other processes that may take into account factors such as securities or other market activity and/or significant events that occur after the close of the foreign market and before the time the Fund’s net asset value (“NAV”) is calculated. Fair value pricing may require subjective determinations about the value of a security, and fair values used to determine the Fund’s NAV may differ from quoted or published prices, or from prices that are used by others, for the same securities. In addition, the use of fair value pricing may not always result in adjustments to the prices of securities held by the Fund.

Illiquid securities for which market quotations are readily available and have been evaluated by the adviser are considered and classified as fair valued securities.

As of December 31, 2016, securities of the Fund were fair valued as follows:

The books and records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. The values of securities, currencies and other assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars are translated into U.S. dollars based upon foreign exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period.

 

(a) Federal Tax Information (Amounts exclude certain adjustments that will be made at the end of the Fund’s fiscal year for tax purposes. Such adjustments are primarily due to wash sales. Amortization of premium on debt securities is excluded for tax purposes.):


At December 31, 2016, the net unrealized depreciation on investments based on a cost of $892,694,997 for federal income tax purposes was as follows:

 

Aggregate gross unrealized appreciation for all investments in which there is an excess of value over tax cost

At September 30, 2016, the Fund had a short-term capital loss carryforward of $848,283 with no expiration date and a long-term capital loss carryforward of $11,847,451 with no expiration date. These amounts may be available to offset future realized capital gains, if any, to the extent provided by regulations.

 

(b) Variable rate security. Rate as of December 31, 2016 is disclosed.
(c) Fair valued by the Fund’s adviser. At December 31, 2016, the value of these securities amounted to $965,128 or 0.1% of net assets.
(d) The Fund’s investment in mortgage related securities of Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, Federal National Mortgage Association and Government National Mortgage Association are interests in separate pools of mortgages. All separate investments in securities of each issuer which have the same coupon rate have been aggregated for the purpose of presentation in the Portfolio of Investments.
(e) Interest rate represents discount rate at time of purchase; not a coupon rate.
(f) The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements, under the terms of a Master Repurchase Agreement, under which the Fund acquires securities as collateral and agrees to resell the securities at an agreed upon time and at an agreed upon price. It is the Fund’s policy that the market value of the collateral for repurchase agreements be at least equal to 102% of the repurchase price, including interest. Certain repurchase agreements are tri-party arrangements whereby the collateral is held in a segregated account for the benefit of the Fund and on behalf of the counterparty. Repurchase agreements could involve certain risks in the event of default or insolvency of the counterparty, including possible delays or restrictions upon the Fund’s ability to dispose of the underlying securities. As of December 31, 2016, the Fund had an investment in a repurchase agreement for which the value of the related collateral exceeded the value of the repurchase agreement.

 

144A All or a portion of these securities are exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933. These securities may be resold in transactions exempt from registration, normally to qualified institutional buyers. At December 31, 2016, the value of Rule 144A holdings amounted to $55,987,357 or 6.5% of net assets.

Fair Value Measurements

In accordance with accounting standards related to fair value measurements and disclosures, the Fund has categorized the inputs utilized in determining the value of the Fund’s assets or liabilities. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

 

    Level 1—quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

 

    Level 2—prices determined using other significant inputs that are observable either directly, or indirectly through corroboration with observable market data (which could include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, interest rates, credit risk, etc.); and

 

    Level 3—prices determined using significant unobservable inputs when quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable such as when there is little or no market activity for an asset or liability (unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of assets or liabilities and would be based on the best information available).

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s investments as of December 31, 2016, at value:

* Details of the major categories of the Fund’s investments are reflected within the Portfolio of Investments.
(a) Valued using broker-dealer bid prices.
(b) Fair valued by the Fund’s adviser.


The Fund’s pricing policies and procedures are recommended by the adviser and approved by the Board of Trustees. Debt securities are valued based on evaluated bids furnished to the Fund by an independent pricing service. Broker-dealer bid prices may be used if an independent pricing service either is unable to price a security or does not provide a reliable price for a security. Broker-dealer bid prices for which the Fund does not have knowledge of the inputs used by the broker-dealer are categorized in Level 3. All security prices, including those obtained from an independent pricing service and broker-dealer bid prices, are reviewed on a daily basis by the adviser, subject to oversight by Fund management and the Board of Trustees. If the adviser, in good faith, believes that the price provided by an independent pricing service is unreliable, broker-dealer bid prices may be used until the price provided by the independent pricing service is considered to be reliable. Reliability of all security prices, including those obtained from an independent pricing service and broker-dealer bid prices, is tested in a variety of ways, including comparison to recent transaction prices and daily fluctuations, amongst other validation procedures in place. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Fund’s adviser pursuant to procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Fair valued securities may be categorized in Level 3.

The following is a reconciliation of Level 3 investments for which significant unobservable inputs were used to determine fair value as of September 30, 2016 and/or December 31, 2016:

A debt security valued at $400,000 was transferred from Level 3 to Level 2 during the period ended December 31, 2016. At September 30, 2016, this security was valued using broker-dealer bid prices based on inputs unobservable to the Fund as an independent pricing service did not provide a reliable price for the security. At December 31, 2016, this security was valued on the basis of evaluated bids furnished to the Fund by an independent pricing service in accordance with the Fund’s valuation policies.

All transfers are recognized as of the beginning of the reporting period.

(†) Fund securities and other investments are valued at market value based on market quotations obtained or determined by independent pricing services recommended by the adviser and approved by the Board of Trustees. Fund securities and other investments for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the adviser pursuant to procedures approved by the Board of Trustees, as described below. Market value is determined as follows:

Listed equity securities (including shares of closed-end investment companies and exchange-traded funds) are valued at the last sale price quoted on the exchange where they are traded most extensively or, if there is no reported sale during the day, the closing bid quotation as reported by an independent pricing service. Securities traded on the NASDAQ Global Select Market, NASDAQ Global Market and NASDAQ Capital Market are valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price (“NOCP”), or if lacking an NOCP, at the most recent bid quotations on the applicable NASDAQ Market. Unlisted equity securities (except unlisted preferred equity securities) are valued at the last sale price quoted in the market where they are traded most extensively or, if there is no reported sale during the day, the closing bid quotation as reported by an independent pricing service. If there is no last sale price or closing bid quotation available, unlisted equity securities will be valued using evaluated bids furnished by an independent pricing service, if available.

In some foreign markets, an official close price and a last sale price may be available from the foreign exchange or market. In those cases, the official close price is used.

Debt securities and unlisted preferred equity securities are valued based on evaluated bids furnished to the Fund by an independent pricing service or bid prices obtained from broker-dealers.

Broker-dealer bid prices may be used to value debt and unlisted equity securities where an independent pricing service is unable to price a security or where an independent pricing service does not provide a reliable price for the security.

Fund securities and other investments for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the adviser pursuant to procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. The Fund may also value securities and other investments at fair value in other circumstances such as when extraordinary events occur after the close of a foreign market but prior to the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”). This may include situations relating to a single issuer (such as a declaration of bankruptcy or a delisting of the issuer’s security from the primary market on which it has traded) as well as events affecting the securities markets in general (such as market disruptions or closings and significant fluctuations in U.S. and/or foreign markets). When fair valuing its securities or other investments, the Fund may, among other things, use modeling tools or other processes that may take into account factors such as securities or other market activity and/or significant events that occur after the close of the foreign market and before the time the Fund’s net asset value (“NAV”) is calculated. Fair value pricing may require subjective determinations about the value of a security, and fair values used to determine the Fund’s NAV may differ from quoted or published prices, or from prices that are used by others, for the same securities. In addition, the use of fair value pricing may not always result in adjustments to the prices of securities held by the Fund.

The books and records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. The values of securities, currencies and other assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars are translated into U.S. dollars based upon foreign exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period.

 

(a) Federal Tax Information (Amounts exclude certain adjustments that will be made at the end of the Fund’s fiscal year for tax purposes. Such adjustments are primarily due to wash sales.):

At December 31, 2016, the net unrealized appreciation on investments based on a cost of $878,340,398 for federal income tax purposes was as follows:

 

Aggregate gross unrealized appreciation for all investments in which there is an excess of value over tax cost

   $ 220,939,479  

Aggregate gross unrealized depreciation for all investments in which there is an excess of tax cost over value

     (19,584,476
  

 

 

 

Net unrealized appreciation

   $ 201,355,003  
  

 

 

 

At September 30, 2016, the Fund had a short-term capital loss carryforward of $7,329,238 with no expiration date. At September 30, 2016, late-year ordinary and post-October capital loss deferrals were $3,107,069. These amounts may be available to offset future realized capital gains, if any, to the extent provided by regulations.

 

(b) Non-income producing security.
(c) The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements, under the terms of a Master Repurchase Agreement, under which the Fund acquires securities as collateral and agrees to resell the securities at an agreed upon time and at an agreed upon price. It is the Fund’s policy that the market value of the collateral for repurchase agreements be at least equal to 102% of the repurchase price, including interest. Certain repurchase agreements are tri-party arrangements whereby the collateral is held in a segregated account for the benefit of the Fund and on behalf of the counterparty. Repurchase agreements could involve certain risks in the event of default or insolvency of the counterparty, including possible delays or restrictions upon the Fund’s ability to dispose of the underlying securities. As of December 31, 2016, the Fund had an investment in a repurchase agreement for which the value of the related collateral exceeded the value of the repurchase agreement.


ADR An American Depositary Receipt is a certificate issued by a custodian bank representing the right to receive securities of the foreign issuer described. The values of ADRs may be significantly influenced by trading on exchanges not located in the United States.

Fair Value Measurements

In accordance with accounting standards related to fair value measurements and disclosures, the Fund has categorized the inputs utilized in determining the value of the Fund’s assets or liabilities. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

 

    Level 1—quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

 

    Level 2—prices determined using other significant inputs that are observable either directly, or indirectly through corroboration with observable market data (which could include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, interest rates, credit risk, etc.); and

 

    Level 3—prices determined using significant unobservable inputs when quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable such as when there is little or no market activity for an asset or liability (unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of assets or liabilities and would be based on the best information available).

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s investments as of December 31, 2016, at value:

(†) Fund securities and other investments are valued at market value based on market quotations obtained or determined by independent pricing services recommended by the adviser and approved by the Board of Trustees. Fund securities and other investments for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the adviser pursuant to procedures approved by the Board of Trustees, as described below. Market value is determined as follows:

Listed equity securities (including shares of closed-end investment companies and exchange-traded funds) are valued at the last sale price quoted on the exchange where they are traded most extensively or, if there is no reported sale during the day, the closing bid quotation as reported by an independent pricing service. Securities traded on the NASDAQ Global Select Market, NASDAQ Global Market and NASDAQ Capital Market are valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price (“NOCP”), or if lacking an NOCP, at the most recent bid quotations on the applicable NASDAQ Market. Unlisted equity securities (except unlisted preferred equity securities) are valued at the last sale price quoted in the market where they are traded most extensively or, if there is no reported sale during the day, the closing bid quotation as reported by an independent pricing service. If there is no last sale price or closing bid quotation available, unlisted equity securities will be valued using evaluated bids furnished by an independent pricing service, if available.

In some foreign markets, an official close price and a last sale price may be available from the foreign exchange or market. In those cases, the official close price is used.

Debt securities and unlisted preferred equity securities are valued based on evaluated bids furnished to the Fund by an independent pricing service or bid prices obtained from broker-dealers.

Broker-dealer bid prices may be used to value debt and unlisted equity securities where an independent pricing service is unable to price a security or where an independent pricing service does not provide a reliable price for the security.

Fund securities and other investments for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the adviser pursuant to procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. The Fund may also value securities and other investments at fair value in other circumstances such as when extraordinary events occur after the close of a foreign market but prior to the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”). This may include situations relating to a single issuer (such as a declaration of bankruptcy or a delisting of the issuer’s security from the primary market on which it has traded) as well as events affecting the securities markets in general (such as market disruptions or closings and significant fluctuations in U.S. and/or foreign markets). When fair valuing its securities or other investments, the Fund may, among other things, use modeling tools or other processes that may take into account factors such as securities or other market activity and/or significant events that occur after the close of the foreign market and before the time the Fund’s net asset value (“NAV”) is calculated. Fair value pricing may require subjective determinations about the value of a security, and fair values used to determine the Fund’s NAV may differ from quoted or published prices, or from prices that are used by others, for the same securities. In addition, the use of fair value pricing may not always result in adjustments to the prices of securities held by the Fund.

The books and records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. The values of securities, currencies and other assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars are translated into U.S. dollars based upon foreign exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period.


(a) Federal Tax Information (Amounts exclude certain adjustments that will be made at the end of the Fund’s fiscal year for tax purposes. Such adjustments are primarily due to wash sales.):

At December 31, 2016, the net unrealized appreciation on investments based on a cost of $11,354,904 for federal income tax purposes was as follows:

 

Aggregate gross unrealized appreciation for all investments in which there is an excess of value over tax cost

   $ 1,690,145  

Aggregate gross unrealized depreciation for all investments in which there is an excess of tax cost over value

     (317,083
  

 

 

 

Net unrealized appreciation

   $ 1,373,062  
  

 

 

 

At September 30, 2016, the Fund had a short-term capital loss carryforward of $1,072,253 with no expiration date and a long-term capital loss carryforward of $29,020 with no expiration date. At September 30, 2016, late-year ordinary and post-October capital loss deferrals were $7,917. These amounts may be available to offset future realized capital gains, if any, to the extent provided by regulations.

 

(b) Non-income producing security.
(c) The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements, under the terms of a Master Repurchase Agreement, under which the Fund acquires securities as collateral and agrees to resell the securities at an agreed upon time and at an agreed upon price. It is the Fund’s policy that the market value of the collateral for repurchase agreements be at least equal to 102% of the repurchase price, including interest. Certain repurchase agreements are tri-party arrangements whereby the collateral is held in a segregated account for the benefit of the Fund and on behalf of the counterparty. Repurchase agreements could involve certain risks in the event of default or insolvency of the counterparty, including possible delays or restrictions upon the Fund’s ability to dispose of the underlying securities. As of December 31, 2016, the Fund had an investment in a repurchase agreement for which the value of the related collateral exceeded the value of the repurchase agreement.

Fair Value Measurements

In accordance with accounting standards related to fair value measurements and disclosures, the Fund has categorized the inputs utilized in determining the value of the Fund’s assets or liabilities. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

 

    Level 1—quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

 

    Level 2—prices determined using other significant inputs that are observable either directly, or indirectly through corroboration with observable market data (which could include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, interest rates, credit risk, etc.); and

 

    Level 3—prices determined using significant unobservable inputs when quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable such as when there is little or no market activity for an asset or liability (unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of assets or liabilities and would be based on the best information available).

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s investments as of December 31, 2016, at value:

(†) Fund securities and other investments are valued at market value based on market quotations obtained or determined by independent pricing services recommended by the adviser and approved by the Board of Trustees. Fund securities and other investments for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the adviser pursuant to procedures approved by the Board of Trustees, as described below. Market value is determined as follows: Debt securities and unlisted preferred equity securities are valued based on evaluated bids furnished to the Fund by an independent pricing service or bid prices obtained from broker-dealers.

Senior loans are valued at bid prices supplied by an independent pricing service, if available.

Listed equity securities (including shares of closed-end investment companies and exchange-traded funds) are valued at the last sale price quoted on the exchange where they are traded most extensively or, if there is no reported sale during the day, the closing bid quotation as reported by an independent pricing service. Securities traded on the NASDAQ Global Select Market, NASDAQ Global Market and NASDAQ Capital Market are valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price (“NOCP”), or if lacking an NOCP, at the most recent bid quotations on the applicable NASDAQ Market. Unlisted equity securities (except unlisted preferred equity securities) are valued at the last sale price quoted in the market where they are traded most extensively or, if there is no reported sale during the day, the closing bid quotation as reported by an independent pricing service. If there is no last sale price or closing bid quotation available, unlisted equity securities will be valued using evaluated bids furnished by an independent pricing service, if available.

In some foreign markets, an official close price and a last sale price may be available from the foreign exchange or market. In those cases, the official close price is used.

Broker-dealer bid prices may be used to value debt and unlisted equity securities and senior loans where an independent pricing service is unable to price a security or where an independent pricing service does not provide a reliable price for the security.

Fund securities and other investments for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the adviser pursuant to procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. The Fund may also value securities and other investments at fair value in other circumstances such as when extraordinary events occur after the close of a foreign market but prior to the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”). This may include situations relating to a single issuer (such as a declaration of bankruptcy or a delisting of the issuer’s security from the primary market on which it has traded) as well as events affecting the securities markets in general (such as market disruptions or closings and significant fluctuations in U.S. and/or foreign markets). When fair valuing its securities or other investments, the Fund may, among other things, use modeling tools or other processes that may take into account factors such as securities or other market activity and/or significant events that occur after the close of the foreign market and before the time the Fund’s net asset value (“NAV”) is calculated. Fair value pricing may require subjective determinations about the value of a security, and fair values used to determine the Fund’s NAV may differ from quoted or published prices, or from prices that are used by others, for the same securities. In addition, the use of fair value pricing may not always result in adjustments to the prices of securities held by the Fund.

Illiquid securities for which market quotations are readily available and have been evaluated by the adviser are considered and classified as fair valued securities.

As of December 31, 2016, securities of the Fund were fair valued as follows:

(j) Payment-in-kind security for which the issuer has the option at each interest payment date of making interest payments in cash or additional debt securities.
(k) Maturity has been extended under the terms of a plan of reorganization.
(l) The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements, under the terms of a Master Repurchase Agreement, under which the Fund acquires securities as collateral and agrees to resell the securities at an agreed upon time and at an agreed upon price. It is the Fund’s policy that the market value of the collateral for repurchase agreements be at least equal to 102% of the repurchase price, including interest. Certain repurchase agreements are tri-party arrangements whereby the collateral is held in a segregated account for the benefit of the Fund and on behalf of the counterparty. Repurchase agreements could involve certain risks in the event of default or insolvency of the counterparty, including possible delays or restrictions upon the Fund’s ability to dispose of the underlying securities. As of December 31, 2016, the Fund had investments in repurchase agreements for which the value of the related collateral exceeded the value of the repurchase agreement.
(m) Interest rate represents discount rate at time of purchase; not a coupon rate.

 

144A All or a portion of these securities are exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933. These securities may be resold in transactions exempt from registration, normally to qualified institutional buyers. At December 31, 2016, the value of Rule 144A holdings amounted to $1,876,161,095 or 17.5% of net assets.

Fair Value Measurements

In accordance with accounting standards related to fair value measurements and disclosures, the Fund has categorized the inputs utilized in determining the value of the Fund’s assets or liabilities. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

 

    Level 1—quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

 

    Level 2—prices determined using other significant inputs that are observable either directly, or indirectly through corroboration with observable market data (which could include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, interest rates, credit risk, etc.); and

 

    Level 3—prices determined using significant unobservable inputs when quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable such as when there is little or no market activity for an asset or liability (unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of assets or liabilities and would be based on the best information available).

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s investments as of December 31, 2016, at value:

* Details of the major categories of the Fund’s investments are reflected within the Portfolio of Investments.
(a) Fair valued by the Fund’s adviser using broker-dealer bid prices for which the inputs are unobservable to the Fund.
(b) Valued using broker-dealer bid prices.
(c) Fair valued by the Fund’s adviser.

The Funds’ pricing policies and procedures are recommended by the adviser and approved by the Board of Trustees. Debt securities are valued based on evaluated bids furnished to the Funds by an independent pricing service. Broker-dealer bid prices may be used if an independent pricing service either is unable to price a security or does not provide a reliable price for a security. Broker-dealer bid prices for which the Funds do not have knowledge of the inputs used by the broker-dealer are categorized in Level 3. All security prices, including those obtained from an independent pricing service and broker-dealer bid prices, are reviewed on a daily basis by the adviser, subject to oversight by Fund management and the Board of Trustees. If the adviser, in good faith, believes that the price provided by an independent pricing service is unreliable, broker-dealer bid prices may be used until the price provided by the independent pricing service is considered to be reliable. Reliability of all security prices, including those obtained from an independent pricing service and broker-dealer bid prices, is tested in a variety of ways, including comparison to recent transaction prices and daily fluctuations, amongst other validation procedures in place. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Funds’ adviser pursuant to procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Fair valued securities may be categorized in Level 3.

The following is a reconciliation of Level 3 investments for which significant unobservable inputs were used to determine fair value as of September 30, 2016 and/or December 31, 2016:

(†) Fund securities and other investments are valued at market value based on market quotations obtained or determined by independent pricing services recommended by the adviser and approved by the Board of Trustees. Fund securities and other investments for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the adviser pursuant to procedures approved by the Board of Trustees, as described below. Market value is determined as follows:

 

     Listed equity securities (including shares of closed-end investment companies and exchange-traded funds) are valued at the last sale price quoted on the exchange where they are traded most extensively or, if there is no reported sale during the day, the closing bid quotation as reported by an independent pricing service. Securities traded on the NASDAQ Global Select Market, NASDAQ Global Market and NASDAQ Capital Market are valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price (“NOCP”), or if lacking an NOCP, at the most recent bid quotations on the applicable NASDAQ Market. Unlisted equity securities (except unlisted preferred equity securities) are valued at the last sale price quoted in the market where they are traded most extensively or, if there is no reported sale during the day, the closing bid quotation as reported by an independent pricing service. If there is no last sale price or closing bid quotation available, unlisted equity securities will be valued using evaluated bids furnished by an independent pricing service, if available.

 

     In some foreign markets, an official close price and a last sale price may be available from the foreign exchange or market. In those cases, the official close price is used.

 

     Debt securities and unlisted preferred equity securities are valued based on evaluated bids furnished to the Fund by an independent pricing service or bid prices obtained from broker-dealers.

 

     Broker-dealer bid prices may be used to value debt and unlisted equity securities where an independent pricing service is unable to price a security or where an independent pricing service does not provide a reliable price for the security.

 

     Fund securities and other investments for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the adviser pursuant to procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. The Fund may also value securities and other investments at fair value in other circumstances such as when extraordinary events occur after the close of a foreign market but prior to the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”). This may include situations relating to a single issuer (such as a declaration of bankruptcy or a delisting of the issuer’s security from the primary market on which it has traded) as well as events affecting the securities markets in general (such as market disruptions or closings and significant fluctuations in U.S. and/or foreign markets). When fair valuing its securities or other investments, the Fund may, among other things, use modeling tools or other processes that may take into account factors such as securities or other market activity and/or significant events that occur after the close of the foreign market and before the time the Fund’s net asset value (“NAV”) is calculated. Fair value pricing may require subjective determinations about the value of a security, and fair values used to determine the Fund’s NAV may differ from quoted or published prices, or from prices that are used by others, for the same securities. In addition, the use of fair value pricing may not always result in adjustments to the prices of securities held by the Fund.

 

     The books and records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. The values of securities, currencies and other assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars are translated into U.S. dollars based upon foreign exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period.

 

(a) Federal Tax Information (Amounts exclude certain adjustments that will be made at the end of the Fund’s fiscal year for tax purposes. Such adjustments are primarily due to wash sales.):

 

     At December 31, 2016, the net unrealized appreciation on investments based on a cost of $919,532,936 (excludes proceeds received from short sales $102,513) for federal income tax purposes was as follows:

 

Aggregate gross unrealized appreciation for all investments in which there is an excess of value over tax cost

   $ 318,006,967  

Aggregate gross unrealized depreciation for all investments in which there is an excess of tax cost over value

Fair Value Measurements

In accordance with accounting standards related to fair value measurements and disclosures, the Fund has categorized the inputs utilized in determining the value of the Fund’s assets or liabilities. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

 

    Level 1—quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

 

    Level 2—prices determined using other significant inputs that are observable either directly, or indirectly through corroboration with observable market data (which could include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, interest rates, credit risk, etc.); and

 

    Level 3—prices determined using significant unobservable inputs when quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable such as when there is little or no market activity for an asset or liability (unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of assets or liabilities and would be based on the best information available).

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s investments as of December 31, 2016, at value:
