Investment Company Status
7.  Investment Company Status
 
Effective January 1, 2014, the Partnership adopted ASU 2013-08, “Financial Services — Investment Companies (Topic 946): Amendments to the Scope, Measurement and Disclosure Requirements.” ASU 2013-08 changes the approach to the investment company assessment, requires non-controlling ownership interests in other investment companies to be measured at fair value, and requires additional disclosures about the investment company’s status as an investment company.   ASU 2013-08 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013.  The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Partnership’s financial statements.  Based on management’s assessment, the Partnership has been deemed to be an investment company since inception.  It has all of the fundamental and typical characteristics of an investment company.
