Summary of Fair Value Exposure
|
|||
The Fund has adopted authoritative fair value accounting standards which establish an authoritative definition of fair value and set out a hierarchy for measuring fair value. These standards require additional disclosures about the
various inputs and valuation techniques used to develop the measurements of fair value, a discussion in changes in valuation techniques and related inputs during the period and expanded disclosure of valuation levels for major security
types. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
|
|||
Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liablities that the Fund has the ability to access.
|
|||
Level 2 - 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 for the identical instrument on an inactive
market, prices for similar instruments, interest rates, prepayment speeds , credit risk, yield curves, default rates and similar data.
|
|||
Level 3 - Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, to the extent relevant observable inputs are not available, representing the 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.
|
As of July 31, 2021, the Fund's investments in securities were classified as follows:
