The

availability

of

observable

inputs

can

vary

from

security

to

security

and

is

affected

by

a

wide

variety

of

factors,

including,

for

example,

the

type

of

security,

whether

the

security

is

new

and

not

yet

established

in

the

market

place,

and

other

characteristics

particular

to

the

transaction.

To

the

extent

that

valuation

is

based

on

models

or

inputs

that

are

less

observable

or

unobservable

in

the

market,

the

determination

of

fair

value

requires

more

judgment.

Accordingly,

the

degree

of

judgment

exercised

by

the

Fund

in

determining

fair

value

is

greatest

for

instruments

categorized

in

Level

3.

In

certain

cases,

the

inputs

used

to

measure

fair

value

may

fall

into

different

levels

of

the

fair

value

hierarchy.

In

such

cases,

for

disclosure

purposes,

the

level

in

the

fair

value

hierarchy

within

which

the

fair

value

measurement

in

its

entirety

falls

is

determined

based

on

the

lowest

level

input

that

is

significant

to

the

fair

value

measurement

in

its

entirety.

Fair

value

is

a

market-based

measure

considered

from

the

perspective

of

a

market

participant

who

holds

the

asset

rather

than

an

entity

specific

measure.

Therefore,

even

when

market

assumptions

are

not

readily

available,

the

Fund’s

own

assumptions

are

set

to

reflect

those

that

market

participants

would

use

in

pricing

the

asset

or

liability

at

the

measurement

date.

The

Fund

uses

prices

and

inputs

that

are

current

as

of

the

measurement

date,

when

available.
