Notes to the Schedule of Investments

(Unaudited)

Investment Valuations —Investments in securities listed or traded on a securities exchange are valued at the last quoted sales price on the exchange where the security is primarily traded as of the close of business on the New York Stock Exchange, usually 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time, on the valuation date. Equity securities traded on the Nasdaq Stock Market are valued at the Nasdaq Official Closing Price (“NOCP”) provided by Nasdaq each business day. The NOCP is the most recently reported price as of 4:00:02 p.m. Eastern Time, unless that price is outside the range of the “inside” bid and asked price ( i.e. , the bid and asked prices that dealers quote to each other when trading for their own accounts); in that case, Nasdaq will adjust the price to equal the inside bid or asked price, whichever is closer. Because of delays in reporting trades, the NOCP may not be the last trade to occur before the market closes. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market and listed securities for which no sales were reported for that date are valued at the last-quoted bid price.

Equity and debt securities issued in private placements are valued on the bid side by a primary market dealer. Long-term debt securities (including U.S. government securities, listed corporate bonds, other debt and asset-backed securities, and unlisted securities and private placement securities) are generally valued at the latest price furnished by an independent pricing service or primary market dealer. Short-term debt securities with remaining maturities of more than 60 days for which market quotations are readily available are valued by an independent pricing service or primary market dealer. Short-term debt securities with remaining maturities of 60 days or less are valued at cost with interest accrued or discount accreted to the date of maturity, unless such valuation, in the judgment of Morgan Asset Management, Inc.’s (the “Adviser”) Valuation Committee, does not represent market value.

Investments in open-end registered investment companies, if any, are valued at net asset value as reported by those investment companies. Foreign securities denominated in foreign currencies, if any, are translated from the local currency into U.S. dollars using current exchange rates.

Investments for which market quotations are not readily available, or if available quotations are not believed to be reflective of market value, are valued at fair value as determined by the Adviser’s Valuation Committee using procedures established by and under the supervision of the Fund’s Board of Directors. The values assigned to fair valued investments are based on available information and do not necessarily represent amounts that might ultimately be realized, since such amounts depend on future developments inherent in long-term investments. Further, because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation, those estimated values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for the investments existed, and the differences could be material.

The Fund may use the fair value of a security to calculate its NAV when, for example, (1) a portfolio security is not traded in a public market or the principal market in which the security trades is closed, (2) trading in a portfolio security is suspended and not resumed prior to the normal market close, (3) a portfolio security is not traded in significant volume for a substantial period, or (4) the Adviser determines that the quotation or price for a portfolio security provided by a dealer or independent pricing services is inaccurate.

Among the more specific factors that are considered by the Valuation Committee in determining the fair value of a security are: (1) type of security; (2) financial statements of the issuer; (3) cost at date of purchase (generally used for initial valuation); (4) size of the Fund’s holding; (5) for restricted securities, the discount from market value of unrestricted securities of the same class at the time of purchase; (6) the existence of a shelf registration for restricted securities; (7) information as to any transactions or offers with respect to the security; (8) special reports prepared by analysts; (9) the existence of merger proposals, tender offers or similar events affecting the security; (10) the price and


extent of public trading in similar securities of the issuer or comparable companies; (11) the fundamental analytical data relating to the investment; (12) the nature and duration of restrictions on disposition of the securities; and (13) evaluation of the forces which influence the market in which these securities are purchased and sold.

There can be no assurance that the Fund could purchase or sell a portfolio security at the price used to calculate the Fund’s NAV. Changes in the fair valuation of portfolio securities may be less frequent and of greater magnitude than changes in the price of portfolio securities valued at their last sale price, by an independent pricing service, or based on market quotations.

 

Item 2. Controls and Procedures.

 

(a) Based on an evaluation of the disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 30a-3(c) under the 1940 Act), as of a date within 90 days of the filing date of this report, the Fund’s certifying officers have concluded that such disclosure controls and procedures are reasonably designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Fund on Form N-CSR and Form N-Q is accumulated and communicated to the Fund’s management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

(b) The Fund’s certifying officers are not aware of any changes in the Fund’s internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 30a-3(d) under the 1940 Act) that occurred during the Fund’s last fiscal quarter of the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Fund’s internal controls over financial reporting.

 

Item 3. Exhibits

The certifications required by Rule 30a-2(a) of the 1940 Act are attached hereto.
