Fair Valuation Measurement

 

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels. Level 1 includes unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 includes 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 by securities dealers or third-party valuation sources as approved by the Board of Trustees, or quoted prices for the identical instrument in an inactive market, prices for similar securities, interest rates, credit risk, yield curves, default rates and similar data. Level 3 includes unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, to the extent relevant observable inputs are not available; representing a 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. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

 

The following table summarizes valuation of the Fund's investments under the fair value hierarchy levels as of January 31, 2020.

Fair Valuation Measurement

 

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels. Level 1 includes unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 includes 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 by securities dealers or third-party valuation sources as approved by the Board of Trustees, or quoted prices for the identical instrument in an inactive market, prices for similar securities, interest rates, credit risk, yield curves, default rates and similar data. Level 3 includes unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, to the extent relevant observable inputs are not available; representing a 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. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

 

The following table summarizes valuation of the Fund's investments under the fair value hierarchy levels as of January 31, 2020.

For information on the Fund’s policies regarding the valuation of investments and other significant accounting policies, please refer to the Fund’s most recent semi-annual or annual financial statements.

 

Fair Valuation Measurement

 

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels. Level 1 includes unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 includes 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 by securities dealers or third-party valuation sources as approved by the Board of Trustees, or quoted prices for the identical instrument in an inactive market, prices for similar securities, interest rates, credit risk, yield curves, default rates and similar data. Level 3 includes unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, to the extent relevant observable inputs are not available; representing a 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. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

 

The following table summarizes valuation of the Fund's investments under the fair value hierarchy levels as of January 31, 2020.
