Securities Valuation

The Funds utilize various methods to measure the fair value of most of its investments on a recurring basis. GAAP establishes a framework for measuring fair value and providing related disclosures. Broadly, the framework requires fair value to be determined based on the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In the absence of active markets for the identical assets or liabilities, such measurements involve developing assumptions based on market observable data and, in the absence of such data, internal information that is consistent with what market participants would use in a hypothetical transaction that occurs at the measurement date. It also establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy based upon observable and non-observable inputs.

Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect our market assumptions. Preference is given to observable inputs. These two types of inputs create the following fair value hierarchy:

Level 1—Quoted prices for identical investments in active markets.

Level 2—Quoted prices for similar investments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar investments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable.

Level 3—Significant inputs to the valuation model are unobservable.

Policies and procedures are maintained to value investments using the best and most relevant data available. In addition, pricing vendors are utilized to assist in valuing investments. GEAM performs periodic reviews of the methodologies used by independent pricing services including price validation of individual securities.


Fair Value Measurement

The following section describes the valuation methodologies the Funds use to measure different financial investments at fair value.

Debt securities (other than short-term securities described below) generally are valued at an evaluated bid price as reported by independent pricing services. The pricing services use various pricing models for each asset class. The inputs and assumptions to the model of the pricing services are derived from market observable sources, which may include: benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, benchmark securities, bids, offers and other market related data. Since many fixed income securities do not trade on a daily basis, the methodology of the pricing service may also use other available information such as benchmark curves, benchmarking of similar securities, sector groupings and matrix pricing, as applicable. Thus, certain securities may not be priced using market quotations, but rather determined from market observable information. These investments are included in Level 2 and are primarily comprised of corporate fixed income, government, mortgage and asset-backed securities. In the absence of a reliable bid price from such a pricing service, debt securities may be valued based on broker or dealer supplied valuations or quotations. In these infrequent circumstances, pricing services may provide the Funds with valuations that are based on significant unobservable inputs, and in those circumstances the investment securities are classified as Level 3.

A Fund may use non-binding broker or dealer quotes for valuation when there is limited or no relevant market activity for a specific investment or for other investments that share similar characteristics and a price is not provided by a pricing service or is deemed not to be reliable. The Funds have not adjusted the prices obtained. Investment securities priced using non-binding broker or dealer quotes are included in Level 3.

Short-term securities of sufficient credit quality with remaining maturities of sixty days or less at the time of purchase are typically valued on the basis of amortized cost which approximates fair value and these are included in Level 2. If it is determined that amortized cost does not approximate fair value, securities may be valued based on dealer supplied valuations or quotations. In these infrequent circumstances, pricing services may provide the Funds with valuations that are based on significant unobservable inputs, and in those circumstances the investment securities are classified in Level 3.

If prices are not readily available for a portfolio security, or if it is believed that a price for a portfolio security does not represent its fair value, the security may be valued using procedures approved by the Funds’ Board of Directors that are designed to establish its “fair” value. These securities are typically classified in Level 3. Those procedures require that the fair value of a security be established by a valuation committee of GEAM. The valuation committee follows different protocols for different types of investments and circumstances. The fair value procedures may be used to value any investment of any Fund in the appropriate circumstances.


Fair value determinations generally are used for securities whose value is affected by a significant event that will materially affect the value of a security and which occurs subsequent to the time of the close of the principal market on which such security trades but prior to the calculation of the Funds’ NAV.

The value established for such a portfolio security valued other than by use of a market quotation (as described above) may be different than what would be produced through the use of market quotations or another methodology. Portfolio securities that are valued using techniques other than market quotations, including “fair valued” securities, may be subject to greater fluctuation in their value from one day to the next than would be the case if market quotations were used. In addition, there is no assurance that a Fund could sell a portfolio security for the value established for it at any time and it is possible that a Fund would incur a loss because a portfolio security is sold at a discount to its established value.

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
