Security valuations for the fund’s investments (other than whole loans, participation mortgages, and mortgage servicing rights) are furnished by an independent pricing service that has been approved by the fund’s 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, 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-ended mutual funds are valued at their respective net asset values on the valuation date.
 
Debt obligations exceeding 60 days to maturity 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. 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 FAF Advisors, Inc. (“FAF Advisors”), 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, indices, and currencies traded on Nasdaq or listed on a stock exchange, whether domestic or foreign, 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. Forward contracts (other than currency forward contracts), swaps, and over-the-counter options on securities, indices, and currencies are valued at the quotations received from an independent pricing service, if available.
 
When market quotations are not readily available, securities are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by procedures established and approved by the fund’s board of directors. Some of the factors which may be considered in determining fair value are fundamental analytical data relating to the investment; the nature and duration of any restrictions on disposition; trading in similar securities of the same issuer or comparable companies; information from broker-dealers; and an evaluation of the forces that influence the market in which the security is purchased or sold. If events occur that materially affect the value of securities (including non-U.S. securities) between the close of trading in those securities and the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange, the securities will be valued at fair value.
 
The fund’s investments in whole loans (single family, multifamily, and commercial), participation mortgages, and mortgage servicing rights 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 fund’s board of directors. Pursuant to these procedures, whole loan investments are initially fair valued at cost and adjusted using a FAF Advisors pricing model designed to incorporate, among other things, the present value of the projected stream of cash flows on such investments. The pricing model takes into account a number of relevant factors including the projected rate of prepayments, the delinquency profile, the historical payment record, the expected yield at purchase, changes in prevailing interest rates, and changes in the real or perceived liquidity of whole loans, participation mortgages, and mortgage servicing rights as the case may be. The results of the pricing model may be further subject to price ceilings due to the illiquid nature of the loans. Changes in prevailing interest rates, real or perceived liquidity, yield spreads, and creditworthiness are factored into the pricing model each week.

Certain mortgage loan information is received once a month. This information includes, but is not limited to, the projected rate of prepayments, projected rate and severity of defaults, the delinquency profile, and the historical payment record. Valuations of whole loans, participation mortgages, and mortgage servicing rights are determined no less frequently than weekly. Although FAF Advisors believes the pricing model to be reasonable and appropriate, the actual values that may be realized upon the sale of whole loans, participation mortgages, and mortgage servicing rights can only be determined in negotiations between the fund and third parties.
 
In accordance with the valuation procedures adopted by the fund’s board of directors, real estate acquired through foreclosure, if any, is valued at estimated market value, as determined by independent third party appraisals, less estimated selling costs. As material capital improvements are made to the property, new market value appraisals are obtained.
 
As of November 30, 2008, the fund held fair valued securities with a value of $190,943,351 or 116.3% of total net assets.
 
Securities pledged as collateral for outstanding reverse repurchase agreements. On November 30, 2008, securities valued at $9,654,874 were pledged as collateral for the following outstanding reverse repurchase agreements:

Summary of Fair Value Exposure
 
The fund adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 157, Fair Value Measurements ("FAS 157"), on September 1, 2008. FAS 157 requires the fund to classify its securities based on valuation method, using the following three levels:
 
Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. Generally, the types of securities included within Level 1 of the fund are investments in mutual funds and preferred stocks with quoted prices.
 
Level 2 - Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, with similar interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.). Generally, the types of securities included in Level 2 of the fund are U.S. government securities.
 
Level 3 - Significant unobservable inputs (including the funds’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments). Generally, the types of securities included in Level 3 of the fund are whole loan and participation mortgages and corporate notes. These securities have limited observable fair value inputs available, and as such the fair value is determined through management's fair value procedures established by the board of directors. Pursuant to these procedures, whole loan investments are initially valued at cost and their values are subsequently monitored and adjusted using a FAF Advisors pricing model designed to incorporate, among other things, the present value of the projected stream of cash flows on such investments. The pricing model takes into account a number of relevant factors including the projected rate of prepayments, the prevailing interest rates, and changes in the real or perceived liquidity of whole loans and participation mortgages.
As of November 30, 2008, the fund's investments were classified as follows:

   
Investments in
 
   
Securities
 
Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets
  $ 22,801,761  
Level 2 – Other significant observable inputs
    5,942,479  
Level 3 – Significant unobservable inputs
    190,943,351  
Total
  $ 219,687,591  

 
The valuation levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in these securities. While uniformity of presentation is the objective of the standard, industry implementation has just begun and it is likely that there will be a range of practices utilized. It may be some period of time before industry practices become more uniform. For this reason, care should be exercised in interpreting this information and/or using it for comparison with other mutual funds.
 
The following is a reconciliation of Level 3 investments for which significant unobservable inputs were used in determining fair value:
