1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Aberdeen Investment Funds (the “Trust”) in the preparation of their financial statements. (Each series of the Trust are also referred to herein as a “Fund” or collectively, the “Funds”.) The policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of income and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The books and records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. Dollars.

 

a. Security Valuation

 

The Funds value their securities at current market value or fair value, consistent with the Funds' valuation procedures (the "Valuation Procedures") and regulatory requirements. Equity securities that are traded on an exchange are valued at the last quoted sale price on the principal exchange on which the security is traded at the “Valuation Time” subject to application, when appropriate, of the valuation factors described in the paragraph below. Under normal circumstances, the Valuation Time is as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (usually 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time).

 

Each Fund’s assets for which market quotations are readily available are valued at fair value on the basis of quotations furnished by a pricing service or provided by securities dealers. Equity investments are generally valued using the last sale price or official closing price taken from the primary market in which each security trades, or if no sales occurred during the day, at the mean of the current quoted bid and ask prices.

 

Foreign equity securities that are traded on foreign exchanges that close prior to 4:00 p.m. Eastern time are valued by applying valuation factors to the last sale price or the mean price as noted above. Valuation factors are provided by an independent pricing service provider. These valuation factors are used when pricing a Fund's portfolio holdings to estimate market movements between the time foreign markets close and the time a Fund values such foreign securities. These valuation factors are based on inputs such as depositary receipts, indices, futures, sector indices/ETFs, exchange rates, and local exchange opening and closing prices of each security. When prices with the application of valuation factors are utilized, the value assigned to the foreign securities may not be the same as quoted or published prices of the securities on their primary markets. Valuation factors are not utilized if the independent pricing service provider is unable to provide a valuation factor or if the valuation factor falls below a predetermined confidence threshold.

 

Per an amendment to the Valuation Procedures that became effective February 21, 2017, fixed income securities, which previously had been generally valued using the mean of bid and ask prices, are now generally valued using bid prices provided directly by independent third party services or provided directly from one or more broker dealers or market makers, each in accordance with the Valuation Procedures approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”). The pricing services may use valuation models or matrix pricing, which consider yield or prices with respect to comparable bond quotations from bond dealers or by reference to other securities that are considered comparable in such characteristics as credit rating, interest rates and maturity date, to determine current fair value. If there are no current day bids, the security is valued at the previously applied bid. Pricing services generally price debt securities assuming orderly transactions of an institutional “round lot” size, and strategies employed by the Funds’ investment adviser, Aberdeen Asset Management Inc. (the “Adviser”), generally trade in round lot sizes. In certain circumstances, fixed income securities may be held or transactions may be conducted in smaller “odd lot” sizes. Odd lots may trade at lower, or occasionally, higher prices than institutional round lot trades. Short-term fixed income securities (such as commercial paper and U.S. treasury bills) having a remaining maturity of 60 days or less are valued at the last quoted or evaluated bid price on the valuation date provided by an independent pricing service, or on the basis of amortized cost if it represents the best approximation for fair value.

 

Assets and liabilities initially expressed in foreign currency will be converted into U.S. Dollar values. Short-term debt securities (such as commercial paper and U.S. treasury bills) having a remaining maturity of 60 days or less are valued at the last quoted or evaluated bid price on the valuation date provided by an independent pricing service, or on the basis of amortized cost if it represents the best approximation for fair value. To the extent each Fund invests in other open-ended funds, the Fund will calculate its net asset value ("NAV") based upon the NAV of the underlying funds in which it invests. The prospectuses of these underlying funds explain the circumstances under which they will use good faith fair value pricing and the effects of such fair value pricing.

Short-term investments are comprised of cash and cash equivalents invested in short-term investment funds which are redeemable daily. The Funds sweep available cash into the State Street Institutional U.S. Government Money Market Fund, a “government money market fund” pursuant to Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act, which has an objective to maintain a $1.00 NAV, which is not guaranteed. Registered investment companies are valued at their net asset value as reported by such company. Generally, these investment types are categorized as Level 1 investments.

 

Derivative instruments are generally valued according to the following procedures. For forward currency exchange contracts the market value is interpolated by the pricing agent by using forward spot points obtained from an authorized pricing service. Futures contracts are generally valued at the most recent settlement price as of NAV determination. Generally for swap agreements, if quotes are unavailable from authorized pricing services swap pricing is determined using a modelling tool which considers and forecasts the impact of cash flow projections, prevailing and expected interest rate movements, and potential credit events. Swap prices are generally evaluated based upon the latest available data provided by the counterparty and rely upon an industry accepted modelling tool.

 

When market quotations or exchange rates are not readily available, or if the Adviser concludes that such market quotations do not accurately reflect fair value, the fair value of a Fund’s assets are determined in good faith in accordance with the Valuation Procedures. For options, swaps and warrants, a fair value price may be determined using readily available market quotations, prices provided by independent pricing services, or by using modeling tools provided by industry accepted financial data service providers. Key inputs to such tools may include yield and prices from comparable or reference assets, maturity or expiration dates, ratings and interest rates. In addition, the Adviser, through its pricing committee, may determine the fair value price in accordance with the Valuation Procedures approved by the Board.
