For Trust compliance purposes, the Trust's industry classifications refer to any one or more of the industry sub-classifications used by one or more widely recognized market indexes or rating group indexes, and/or as defined by Trust management. These definitions may not apply for purposes of this report, which may combine such industry sub-classifications for reporting ease.

   
Fair Value Measurements - Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments. These inputs to valuation techniques are categorized into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three broad levels for financial reporting purposes as follows:
   
  Level 1 — unadjusted price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical assets and liabilities that the Trust has the ability to access
     
  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 Trust's own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments)

 

The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3. The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls in its entirety is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.
 
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers into or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. In accordance with the Trust's policy, transfers between different levels of the fair value disclosure hierarchy are deemed to have occurred as of the beginning of the reporting period. The categorization of a value determined for investments and derivative financial instruments is based on the pricing transparency of the investment and derivative financial instrument and is not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. For information about the Trust's policy regarding valuation of investments and derivative financial instruments and other significant accounting policies, please refer to the Trust's most recent financial statements as contained in its annual report.

1Transfers into and transfers out of Level 3 represent the values as of the beginning of the reporting period. As of August 31, 2012, the Trust used observable inputs in determining the value of certain investments. As of November 30, 2012, the Trust used significant unobservable inputs in determining the value on the same investments. As a result, investments with a beginning of period value of $21,662,704 transferred from Level 2 to Level 3 in the disclosure hierarchy. As of August 31, 2012, the Trust used significant unobservable inputs in determining the value of certain investments. As of November 30, 2012, the Trust used observable inputs in determining the value on the same investments. As a result, investments with a beginning of period value of $9,543,312 transferred from Level 3 to Level 2 in the disclosure hierarchy.
2The change in unrealized appreciation/depreciation on investments still held as of November 30, 2012 was $566,037.

 

 

The following table summarizes the valuation techniques used and unobservable inputs developed by the BlackRock Global Valuation Methodologies Committee (“Global Valuation Committee”) to determine the value of certain of the Trust’s Level 3 investments as of November 30, 2012. The table does not include Level 3 investments with values derived utilizing transaction prices from recent prior transactions or third party pricing information without adjustment for which such inputs are also unobservable. A significant change in third party pricing information could result in a significantly lower or higher value of Level 3 investments. The value of Level 3 investments derived using prices from prior transactions and/or third party pricing information is $60,569,989.

1A change to the unobservable input may result in a significant change to the value of the investment as follows:

 

Unobservable Input   Impact to Value if Input Increases   Impact to Value if Input Decreases
EBITDA Multiple Increase   Decrease
Forward EBITDA Multiple Increase   Decrease
Yield Decrease   Increase
Illiquidity Discount Decrease   Increase
       
           

 

2Unobservable inputs are weighted based on the value of the investments included in the range.
3The Trust fair values certain of its Level 3 investments using prior transaction prices (acquisition cost), although the transaction may not have occurred during the current reporting period. In such cases, these investments are generally privately held investments. There may not be a secondary market, and/or there are a limited number of investors. The determination to fair value such investments at cost is based upon factors consistent with the principles of fair value measurement that are reasonably available to the Global Valuation Committee, or its delegate. Valuations are reviewed utilizing available market information to determine if the carrying value should be adjusted. Such market data may include, but is not limited to, observations of the trading multiples of public companies considered comparable to the private companies being valued, financial or operational information released by the company, and/or news or corporate events that affect the investment. Valuations may be adjusted to account for company-specific issues, the lack of liquidity inherent in a nonpublic investment and the fact that comparable public companies are not identical to the investments being fair valued by the Trust.
