Fair Valuation Measurements
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") established a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). Under
FASB Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, various inputs are used in determining the value of each Fund’s investments. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an
indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. The three Levels of inputs of the fair value hierarchy are defined as follows:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
|
|
|
Level 2 - Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These inputs may include quoted prices for the identical
instrument on an inactive market, prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, default rates and similar data.
|
|
Level 3 - Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, to the extent relevant observable inputs are not available; representing the Fund’s own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would
use in valuing the asset or liability, and would be based on the best information available.
|
|
A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
|
|
The availability of observable inputs can vary from security to security and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of security, whether the security is new and not yet
established in the marketplace, the liquidity of markets, and other characteristics particular to the security. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the
determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3.
|
|
The following is a summary of the inputs used to value each Fund's investments as of October 31, 2019:

are effective as of a date within 90 days of the filing date of the report that includes the disclosure required by this paragraph, based on the evaluation of these controls and procedures required by Rule 30a-3(b) under the 1940 Act (17

There were no changes in the Registrant's internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 30a-3(d) under the 1940 Act) (17 CFR 270.30a-3(d)) that occurred during the Registrant's last fiscal quarter that have
