Notes to Portfolio of Investments

Securities Valuation

The Registrant’s Board of Directors has adopted Pricing and Valuation Procedures (the “Procedures”) to be used in determining the value of the assets held by the Registrant. In accordance with the Procedures, investments are stated at value. Investments for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the last trade price on the date of determination as obtained from a pricing source. If no such trade price is available, such investments are valued at the quoted bid price or the mean between the quoted bid and asked price on the date of determination as obtained from a pricing source.

Short-term securities which mature in more than 60 days are valued at current market quotations. Short-term securities which mature in 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.

Securities for which market quotations are not readily available (including investments which are subject to limitations as to their sale) are to be valued at fair value. As a general rule, whether or not the Registrant is required to “fair value price” an asset is dependent on the ready availability of current market quotes or, even if readily available, the reliability of such quotes. Any assets for which market quotations are not readily available or for which available prices are not reliable, shall be determined in a manner that most fairly reflects the asset’s (or group of assets) “fair value” (i.e., the amount that the Registrant might reasonably expect to receive for the asset upon its current sale) on the valuation date, based on consideration of all available information.

The Procedures provide that in certain instances, including without limitation, if there is a “stale price” for a portfolio security, in an emergency situation, or if a significant event occurs after the close of trading of a portfolio security, but before the calculation of the Registrant’s net asset value, the security may be valued at its fair value.

Interest Rate and Currency Swaps

The Registrant may engage in certain swap transactions in order to obtain a desired return at a lower cost than if the Registrant had invested directly in the asset that yielded the desired return or to hedge the borrowings.

An interest rate swap is an agreement between two parties which involves the exchange of floating and fixed rate payments (an interest rate and currency swap involves the exchange of interest rate payments in another currency) for a specified period of time. Interest rate and currency swaps involve the accrual and exchange of payments between the parties. These payments are recorded as realized gain/(loss).

During the term of the swap, changes in the value of the swap are recognized as unrealized appreciation or depreciation by “marking-to-market” to reflect the fair market value of the swap. When the swap is terminated, the Registrant will record a realized gain/(loss) equal to the difference, if any, between the proceeds from (or cost of) the closing transaction and the Registrant’s basis in the contract. The Registrant is exposed to credit risk in the event of non-performance by the counterparty to the swap. However, the Registrant does not anticipate non-performance by any counterparty.

Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts

A forward foreign currency exchange contract (“Forward Contract”) involves an obligation to purchase and sell a specific currency at a future date, which may be any fixed number of days from the date of the contract agreed upon by the parties, at a price set at the time of the contract. The Forward Contract is marked-to-market daily and the change in market value is recorded by the Registrant as unrealized appreciation or depreciation. When the Forward Contract is closed, the Registrant records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. Risks arise from unanticipated movements in the value of the foreign currency relative to the functional currencies and from potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts.

Futures Contracts

A futures contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell a security for a set price on a future date. Upon entering into a contract, the Registrant deposits and maintains as collateral such initial margin as required by the exchange on which the transaction is effected. Pursuant to the contract, the Registrant agrees to receive from or pay to the broker an amount of cash equal to the daily fluctuation in the value of the contract. Such receipts or payments are known as variation margin and are recorded by the Registrant as unrealized appreciation or depreciation. When the contract is closed, the Registrant records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed.

Repurchase Agreements

In connection with transactions in repurchase agreements with U.S. financial institutions, it is the Registrant’s policy that its custodian/counterparty segregates the underlying collateral securities, the value of which exceeds the principal amount of the repurchase transaction, including accrued interest. To the extent that any repurchase transaction exceeds one business day, the collateral is valued on a daily basis to determine its adequacy. If the seller of the security defaults and the value of the collateral declines or if bankruptcy proceedings are commenced with respect to the seller of the security, realization of the collateral by the Registrant may be delayed or limited.

Foreign Currency Translation

Foreign currency amounts are translated into United States dollars on the following basis:

 

(i) market value of investment securities, other assets and liabilities – at the exchange rates at the end of the reporting period;

 

(ii) purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses – at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions.

The Registrant isolates that portion of the results of operations arising from changes in the foreign exchange rates due to fluctuations in the market prices of the securities held at the end of the reporting period. Similarly, the Registrant isolates the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates from the fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of portfolio securities sold during the reporting period.

Net realized foreign exchange gains/(losses) include realized foreign exchange gains/(losses) from sales and maturities of portfolio securities, sales of foreign currencies, currency gains/(losses) realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, the difference between the amounts of interest, discount and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Registrant’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange appreciation/(depreciation) include changes in the value of portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities arising as a result of changes in the exchange rate.

Accumulated net realized and unrealized foreign exchange gains/(losses) shown in the composition of net assets represent foreign exchange gains/(losses) for book purposes that may not have been recognized for tax purposes.

Foreign security and currency transactions may involve certain considerations and risks not typically associated with those of domestic origin, including unanticipated movements in the value of the foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar.
