Fair Value Measurements
Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Funds investments, following the input prioritization hierarchy established by GAAP. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
· Level 1 quoted prices in active markets for identical securities
· Level 2 prices determined using other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk and others)
· Level 3 prices determined using significant unobservable inputs where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable or less reliable (including managements own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in pricing an investment)
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
Examples of the types of securities in which the Fund would typically invest and how they are classified within this hierarchy are as follows. Typical Level 1 securities include exchange traded domestic equities, mutual funds whose NAVs are published each day and exchange traded foreign equities that are not statistically fair valued. Typical Level 2 securities include exchange traded foreign equities that are statistically fair valued, forward foreign currency exchange contracts and short-term investments valued at amortized cost. Additionally, securities fair valued by the Valuation Committee of the Funds Board of Trustees that rely on significant observable inputs are also included in Level 2. Typical Level 3 securities include any security fair valued by the Funds Valuation Committee that relies on significant unobservable inputs.
The following table summarizes the inputs used, as of September 30, 2011, in valuing the Funds assets:

The Funds assets assigned to the Level 2 input category are generally valued using a market approach, in which a securitys value is determined through its correlation to prices and information from observable market transactions for similar or identical assets. Warrants which do not trade are valued as a percentage of the actively trading common stock using a model, based on Black Scholes.
There were no significant transfers of financial assets between levels 1 and 2 during the period.
The following table reconciles asset balances for the nine months ending September, 30, 2011, in which significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) were used in determining value:

Fair Value Measurements
Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Funds investments, following the input prioritization hierarchy established by GAAP. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
· Level 1 quoted prices in active markets for identical securities
· Level 2 prices determined using other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk and others)
· Level 3 prices determined using significant unobservable inputs where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable or less reliable (including managements own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in pricing an investment)
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
Examples of the types of securities in which the Fund would typically invest and how they are classified within this hierarchy are as follows. Typical Level 1 securities include exchange traded domestic equities, mutual funds whose NAVs are published each day and exchange traded foreign equities that are not statistically fair valued. Typical Level 2 securities include exchange traded foreign equities that are statistically fair valued, forward foreign currency exchange contracts and short-term investments valued at amortized cost. Additionally, securities fair valued by the Valuation Committee of the Funds Board of Trustees that rely on significant observable inputs are also included in Level 2. Typical Level 3 securities include any security fair valued by the Funds Valuation Committee that relies on significant unobservable inputs.
The following table summarizes the inputs used, as of September 30, 2011, in valuing the Funds assets:

The Funds assets assigned to the Level 2 input category are generally valued using a market approach, in which a securitys value is determined through its correlation to prices and information from observable market transactions for similar or identical assets. Foreign equities are generally valued at the last sales price on the foreign exchange or market on which they trade. The Fund may use a systematic fair valuation model provided by an independent third party to value securities principally traded in foreign markets in order to adjust for possible stale pricing that may occur between the close of the foreign exchanges and the time for valuation. These models take into account available market data including intraday index, ADR, and ETF movements. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are valued at the prevailing forward exchange rate of the underlying currencies. Securities acquired via private placement that have a holding period or an extended settlement period are valued at a discount to the same shares that are trading freely on the market. These discounts are determined by the advisers experience with similar securities or situations. Factors may include, but are not limited to, trade volume, shares outstanding and stock price.
Certain short-term obligations may be valued using amortized cost, an income approach which converts future cash flows to a present value based upon the discount or premium at purchase.
The Funds assets assigned to the Level 3 input category are valued at fair value as determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees. To determine fair value, management will utilize the valuation technique that they deem the most appropriate in the circumstances. Securities for which no market exist are valued based upon the market approach using some unobservable inputs which may include, but are not limited to, projected earnings, available cash, line of business, multiples, and consideration of the prioritization of the equity in a companys capital structure

Fair Value Measurements
Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Funds investments, following the input prioritization hierarchy established by GAAP. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
· Level 1 quoted prices in active markets for identical securities
· Level 2 prices determined using other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk and others)
· Level 3 prices determined using significant unobservable inputs where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable or less reliable (including managements own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in pricing an investment)
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
Examples of the types of securities in which the Fund would typically invest and how they are classified within this hierarchy are as follows. Typical Level 1 securities include exchange traded domestic equities, mutual funds whose NAVs are published each day and exchange traded foreign equities that are not statistically fair valued. Typical Level 2 securities include exchange traded foreign equities that are statistically fair valued, forward foreign currency exchange contracts and short-term investments valued at amortized cost. Additionally, securities fair valued by the Valuation Committee of the Funds Board of Trustees that rely on significant observable inputs are also included in Level 2. Typical Level 3 securities include any security fair valued by the Funds Valuation Committee that relies on significant unobservable inputs.
The following table summarizes the inputs used, as of September 30, 2011, in valuing the Funds assets:

The Funds assets assigned to the Level 2 input category are generally valued using a market approach, in which a securitys value is determined through its correlation to prices and information from observable market transactions for similar or identical assets. Foreign equities are generally valued at the last sales price on the foreign exchange or market on which they trade. The Fund may use a systematic fair valuation model provided by an independent third party to value securities principally traded in foreign markets in order to adjust for possible stale pricing that may occur between the close of the foreign exchanges and the time for valuation. These models take into account available market data including intraday index, ADR, and ETF movements. Securities acquired via private placement that have a holding period or an extended settlement period are valued at a discount to the same shares that are trading freely on the market. These discounts are determined by the advisers experience with similar securities or situations. Factors may include, but are not limited to, trade volume, shares outstanding and stock price. Warrants which do not trade are valued as a percentage of the actively trading common stock using a model, based on Black Scholes.
The Funds assets assigned to the Level 3 input category are valued at fair value as determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees. To determine fair value, management will utilize the valuation technique that they deem the most appropriate in the circumstances. Securities acquired via private placement that are not yet trading are valued using the market approach for which management has determined that the original transaction price is the best representation of fair value. The original cost may be adjusted for the market movement in an index, ETF or similar security during the period it does not trade.
The following table shows transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy:

Fair Value Measurements
Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Funds investments, following the input prioritization hierarchy established by GAAP. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
· Level 1 quoted prices in active markets for identical securities
· Level 2 prices determined using other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk and others)
· Level 3 prices determined using significant unobservable inputs where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable or less reliable (including managements own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in pricing an investment)
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
Examples of the types of securities in which the Fund would typically invest and how they are classified within this hierarchy are as follows. Typical Level 1 securities include exchange traded domestic equities, mutual funds whose NAVs are published each day and exchange traded foreign equities that are not statistically fair valued. Typical Level 2 securities include exchange traded foreign equities that are statistically fair valued, forward foreign currency exchange contracts and short-term investments valued at amortized cost. Additionally, securities fair valued by the Valuation Committee of the Funds Board of Trustees that rely on significant observable inputs are also included in Level 2. Typical Level 3 securities include any security fair valued by the Funds Valuation Committee that relies on significant unobservable inputs.
The following table summarizes the inputs used, as of September 30, 2011, in valuing the Funds assets:

The Funds assets assigned to the Level 2 input category are generally valued using a market approach, in which a securitys value is determined through its correlation to prices and information from observable market transactions for similar or identical assets. Foreign equities are generally valued at the last sales price on the foreign exchange or market on which they trade. The Fund may use a systematic fair valuation model provided by an independent third party to value securities principally traded in foreign markets in order to adjust for possible stale pricing that may occur between the close of the foreign exchanges and the time for valuation. These models take into account available market data including intraday index, ADR, and ETF movements. Securities acquired via private placements that have a holding period or extended settlement periods are valued at a discount to the same shares that are trading freely on the market. These discounts are determined by the advisers experience with similar securities or situations. Factors may include, but are not limited to, trade volume, shares outstanding and stock price.
The Funds assets assigned to the Level 3 input category are valued at fair value as determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees. To determine fair value, management will utilize the valuation technique that they deem the most appropriate in the circumstances. Securities for which no market exist are valued based upon the market approach using some unobservable inputs which may include, but are not limited to, projected earnings, available cash, line of business, multiples, and consideration of the prioritization of the equity in a companys capital structure.
There were no significant transfers of financial assets between levels 1 and 2 during the period.
The following table reconciles asset balances for the nine months ending September, 30, 2011, in which significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) were used in determining value:
