Note 1. Portfolio Valuation
:
Investments in securities that are listed on the New York Stock Exchange are
valued, except as indicated below, at the last sale price reflected at the
close of the New York Stock Exchange on the business day as of which such value
is being determined. If there has been no sale on such day, the securities are
valued at the mean of the closing bid and asked prices for the day or, if no
asked price is available, at the bid price. Exchange traded options are valued
at their last sale price as of the close of options trading on applicable
exchanges. In the absence of a last sale, options are valued at the average of
the quoted bid and asked prices as of the close of business. Over-the-counter
options quotations are provided by the respective counterparty.
Securities not
listed on the New York Stock Exchange but listed on other domestic or foreign
securities exchanges or admitted to trading on the National Association of
Securities Dealers Automated Quotations, Inc. (Nasdaq) national market
system are valued in a similar manner. Securities traded on more than one
securities exchange are valued at the last sale price on the business day as of
which such value is being determined as reflected on the tape at the close of
the exchange representing the principal market for such securities.
Readily
marketable securities traded in the over-the-counter market, including listed
securities whose primary market is believed by the investment manager to be
over-the-counter, but excluding securities admitted to trading on the Nasdaq
National List, are valued at the official closing prices as reported by Nasdaq,
the National Quotation Bureau, or such other comparable sources as the Board of
Directors deem appropriate to reflect their fair market value. If there has
been no sale on such day, the securities are valued at the mean of the closing
bid and asked prices for the day, or if no asked price is available, at the bid
price. However, certain fixed-income securities may be valued on the basis of prices
provided by a pricing service when such prices are believed by the Board of
Directors to reflect the fair market value of such securities. Where securities
are traded on more than one exchange and also over-the-counter, the securities
will generally be valued using the quotations the Board of Directors believes
most closely reflect the value of such securities.
Securities for
which market prices are unavailable, or securities for which the investment
manager determines that bid and/or asked price does not reflect market value,
will be valued at fair value pursuant to procedures approved by the funds
Board of Directors. Circumstances in which market prices may be unavailable
include, but are not limited to, when trading in a security is suspended, the exchange
on which the security is traded is subject to an unscheduled close or
disruption or material events occur after the close of the exchange on which
the security is principally traded. In these circumstances, the fund determines
fair value in a manner that fairly reflects the market value of the security on
the valuation date based on consideration of any information or factors it
deems appropriate. These may include recent transactions in comparable
securities, information relating to the specific security and developments in
the markets.
The funds use
of fair value pricing may cause the net asset value of fund shares to differ
from the net asset value that would be calculated using market quotations. Fair
value pricing involves subjective judgments and it is possible that the fair
value determined for a security may be materially different than the value that
could be realized upon the sale of that security.
Short-term
debt securities, which have a maturity date of 60 days or less, are valued at
amortized cost, which approximates value.
The fund adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (FAS
157), effective January 1, 2008. In accordance with FAS 157, fair value is
defined as the price that the fund would receive to sell an investment or pay
to transfer a liability in a timely transaction with an independent buyer in
the principal market, or in the absence of a principal market the most
advantageous market for the investment or liability. FAS 157 establishes a
single definition of fair value, creates a three-tier hierarchy as a framework
for measuring fair value based on inputs used to value the funds investments,
and requires additional disclosure about fair value. The hierarchy of inputs is
summarized below.
·
Level 1quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
·
Level 2other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for
similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
·
Level 3significant unobservable inputs (including the funds own assumptions
in determining the fair value of investments)
The inputs or
methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of
the risk associated with investing in those securities.
The following
is a summary of the inputs used as of September 30, 2008 in valuing the
funds investments carried at value:
