•Fair Value Measurements — Various inputs are used in determining the fair
value of investments and derivative financial instruments. These inputs
are summarized in three broad levels for financial reporting purposes as
follows:
•Level 1 — price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical
assets and liabilities
•Level 2 — other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted
prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted
prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not
active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the
assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities,
prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or
other market-corroborated inputs)
•Level 3 — unobservable inputs based on the best information available
in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available
(including the Fund's own assumptions used in determining the fair
value of investments and derivative financial instruments)
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily
an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. For
information about the Fund's policy regarding valuation of investments and
derivative financial instruments and other significant accounting policies,
please refer to the Fund’s most recent financial statements as contained in
its semi-annual report.
