Effective September 1, 2008, the Trust adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements" ("FAS 157"). FAS 157 clarifies the definition of fair value, establishes a
framework for measuring fair values and requires additional disclosures about the use of fair value measurements.
Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments, which are as follows:
Level 1 - price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical securities
Level 2 - other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in
markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active,
inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves,
volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated
inputs)
Level 3 - unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent
observable inputs are not available (including the Trust's own assumptions used 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. For information about the Trust's policy regarding valuation of investments
and other significant accounting policies, please refer to the Trust's most recent financial statements as contained
in its semi-annual report.
The following table summarizes the inputs used as of May 31, 2009 in determining the fair valuation of the Trust's
investments:
Valuation | Investments in |
Inputs | Securities |
Assets | |
Level 1 | $ 3,100,000 |
Level 2 | 41,019,520 |
