FIRST AMERICAN MORTGAGE FUNDS ½ 2013 QUARTERLY REPORT
Schedule of Investments ½ May 31, 2013 (unaudited)
American Strategic Income Portfolio (ASP)
¶ | The funds investments in whole loans (single family and commercial), are generally not traded in any organized market and therefore, market quotations are not readily available. These investments are valued at fair value according to procedures adopted by the funds board of directors, as further described below. |
Security valuations for the funds investments (other than whole loans) are generally furnished by an independent pricing service that has been approved by the funds board of directors. Investments in equity securities that are traded on a national securities exchange (or reported on the Nasdaq national market system) are stated at the last quoted sales price if readily available for such securities on each business day. For securities traded on the Nasdaq national market system, the fund utilizes the Nasdaq Official Closing Price which compares the last trade to the bid/ask price of a security. If the last trade falls within the bid/ask range, then that price will be the closing price. If the last trade is outside the bid/ask range, and falls above the ask, the ask price will be the closing price. If the last trade is below the bid, then the bid will be the closing price. Other equity securities traded in the over-the-counter market and listed equity securities for which no sale was reported on that date are stated at the last quoted bid price. Investments in open-end funds are valued at their net asset values on the valuation date.
Debt obligations exceeding 60 days to maturity are valued by an independent pricing service. Securities for which prices are not available from an independent pricing service, but where an active market exists, are valued using market quotations obtained from one or more dealers that make markets in the securities or from a widely-used quotation system. Debt obligations with 60 days or less remaining until maturity may be valued at their amortized cost which approximates market value.
The following investment vehicles, when held by the fund, are priced as follows: exchange listed futures and options on futures are priced at their last sale price on the exchange on which they are principally traded, as determined by U.S. Bancorp Asset Management, Inc. (USBAM) on the day the valuation is made. If there were no sales on that day, futures and options on futures will be valued at the last reported bid price. Options on securities and indices traded on Nasdaq or listed on a stock exchange are valued at the last sale price on Nasdaq or on any exchange on the day the valuation is made. If there were no sales on that day, the options will be valued at the last sale price on the previous valuation date. Last sale prices are obtained from an independent pricing service. Swaps and over-the-counter options on securities and indices are valued at the quotations received from an independent pricing service, if available.
When market quotations are not readily available, securities are internally valued at fair value as determined in good faith by procedures established and approved by the funds board of directors.
As of May 31, 2013, the fund held internally fair valued securities which are disclosed in footnote ¥.
¥ | Securities purchased as part of a private placement which have not been registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933 and which are considered to be illiquid. These securities are fair valued in accordance with the board approved valuation procedures. On May 31, 2013, the total fair value of these securities was $23,134,410 or 44.0% of total net assets. |
p | Interest rates on commercial and multifamily loans are the net coupon rates in effect (after reducing the coupon rate by any mortgage servicing fees paid to mortgage servicers) on May 31, 2013. Interest rates and maturity dates disclosed on single family loans represent the weighted average coupon and weighted average maturity for the underlying mortgage loans as of May 31, 2013. |
§ | Loan has matured or will mature in the next couple of months and the fund is anticipating payoff or refinancing. Unless disclosed otherwise, the loan continues to make monthly payments. |
¶ | Interest Only Represents securities that entitle holders to receive only interest payments on the mortgage. Principal balance on the loan is due at maturity. The interest rate disclosed represents the net coupon rate in effect as of May 31, 2013. |
¿ | Loan is currently in default with regards to scheduled interest and/or principal payments. |
x | Securities pledged as collateral for outstanding borrowings under a loan agreement with Bank of America, N.A. On May 31, 2013, securities valued at $30,277,470 were pledged as collateral for the following outstanding borrowings: |
Amount | Rate* | Accrued Interest | ||
$15,200,000 | 1.05% | $442 | ||
|
|
* | Interest rate as of May 31, 2013. Rate is based on one-month London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus 0.85%. |

Summary of Fair Value Exposure
Generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) require disclosures regarding the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value and any changes in valuation inputs or techniques. The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (i.e. the exit price). GAAP establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy for observable and unobservable inputs used in measuring fair value. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability and are based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the reporting entitys own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Unobservable inputs are based on the best information available in the circumstances. Fair value inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
Level 1 |
| Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. | ||
Level 2 |
| Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, with similar interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.). | ||
Level 3 |
| Significant unobservable inputs (including a funds own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments). Generally, the types of securities included in Level 3 of a fund are securities that are not traded in any organized market, or for which there are significant unobservable fair value inputs available such as the funds investments in whole loans. |
The fair value levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in these investments.
As of May 31, 2013, the funds investments were classified as follows:

Valuation Methodologies for Fair Value Measurements Categorized within Levels 2 and 3
U.S. Government Agency Mortgage-Backed Securities and Corporate Bonds
U.S. government agency mortgage-backed securities and corporate bonds are valued by an independent pricing service. The pricing service may employ methodologies that utilize actual market transactions, broker-dealer supplied valuations, or other formula-driven valuation techniques. These techniques generally consider such factors as yields or prices of bonds of comparable quality, type of issue, coupon, maturity, ratings, and general market conditions.
Commercial and Multifamily Whole Loans
Commercial and multifamily whole loans are analyzed using a pricing methodology designed to incorporate, among other things, the present value of the projected stream of cash flows on such investments (the discounted cash flow methodology). For commercial and multifamily whole loans, this pricing methodology takes into account a number of relevant factors, including changes in prevailing interest rates, yield spreads, the borrowers creditworthiness (i.e. the debt service coverage ratio), lien position, delinquency status, and the projected rate of prepayments. For first lien loans, if the resulting price from the discounted cash flow methodology is lower than the current average loss recovery on commercial mortgage-backed securities (the price floor), the loan will be fair valued at the price floor (the price floor methodology). In addition, for all loans, if the resulting price from the discounted cash flow methodology is above the loans par value plus any prepayment penalty (the price ceiling), the loan will be fair valued at the price ceiling (the anticipated recovery rate methodology). Newly purchased loans are fair valued at cost and subsequently analyzed using the discounted cash flow methodology. Loans with a pending short payoff will be fair valued at the anticipated recovery rate. Valuations of commercial and multifamily whole loans are determined no less frequently than weekly. Although USBAM believes the pricing methodologies to be reasonable and appropriate, the actual values that may be realized upon the sale of whole loans can only be determined in negotiations between the fund and third parties.
The significant unobservable inputs used in the determination of fair value using the discounted cash flow methodology for commercial and multifamily whole loans include yield spreads and debt service coverage ratios. Significant increases (decreases) in yield spreads would result in lower (higher) fair values. A significant decrease (increase) in the debt service coverage ratio of a loans borrower could result in lower (higher) fair values.
Single Family Whole Loans
Single family whole loans are analyzed using the discounted cash flow methodology. For single family whole loans, the pricing methodology takes into account a number of relevant factors, including changes in prevailing interest rates, yield spreads, delinquency status, loan to value, lien position, and prepayment speeds. If the resulting price from the discounted cash flow methodology is above 103% of the loans par value (the price ceiling), the loan will be fair valued at the price ceiling (the price ceiling methodology). Valuations of single family whole loans are determined no less frequently than weekly. Although USBAM believes the pricing methodologies to be reasonable and appropriate, the actual values that may be realized upon the sale of whole loans can only be determined in negotiations between the fund and third parties.
The significant unobservable input used in the determination of fair value using the discounted cash flow methodology for single family whole loans is the yield spread. Significant increases (decreases) in yield spreads would result in lower (higher) fair values.
Corporate Notes
Corporate notes are analyzed using the discounted cash flow methodology. For corporate notes, the pricing methodology takes into account changes in prevailing interest rates and yield spreads. If the resulting price from the discounted cash flow methodology is above the notes par value plus any prepayment penalty (the price ceiling), the note will be fair valued at the price ceiling (the price ceiling methodology). Currently all corporate notes are fair valued at the price ceiling. Valuations of corporate notes are determined no less frequently than weekly. Although USBAM believes the pricing methodologies to be reasonable and appropriate, the actual values that may be realized upon the sale of corporate notes can only be determined in negotiations between the fund and third parties.
The significant unobservable input used in the determination of fair value using the discounted cash flow methodology for corporate notes is the yield spread. Significant increases (decreases) in yield spreads would result in lower (higher) fair values.
For commercial, multifamily and single family whole loans and corporate notes, if USBAM concludes that the fundamentals of a loan or its underlying collateral do not support the use of the discounted cash flow, price ceiling or price floor methodologies, a fair value determination may be made by the USBAM valuation committee as described below.

Valuation Process for Fair Value Measurements Categorized within Level 3
The funds board of directors (the board) has adopted policies and procedures for the valuation of the funds investments (the valuation procedures). The valuation procedures establish a valuation committee consisting of representatives from USBAM investment management, legal, treasury and compliance departments (the valuation committee). The board has authorized the valuation committee to make fair value determinations in accordance with the valuation procedures. The audit committee of the board meets on a regular basis to, among other things, review fair value determinations made by the valuation committee, monitor the appropriateness of any previously determined fair value methodology, and approve in advance any proposed changes to such methodology, and present such changes for ratification by the board.
