Notes to Fund's investments (unaudited)

#### Security valuation. Investments are valued at the end of each month at a minimum.
In order to value the securities, the fund uses the following valuation techniques: Debt obligations are typically valued based on evaluated prices provided by an independent pricing vendor. Independent pricing vendors utilize matrix pricing, which takes into account factors such as institutional-size trading in similar groups of securities, yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics and other market data, as well as broker supplied prices. Investments by the fund in open-end mutual funds are valued at their respective NAVs each business day. Private loan investments, including special purpose vehicles, are measured at fair value based on the present value of the expected cash flows of the loans. There are no quoted prices in active markets. Assumptions and inputs used in the valuation of private loans include prepayment estimates, determination of the discount rate based on the risk-free interest rate adjusted for credit risk (including estimation of probability of default), liquidity and any other adjustments a third-party market participant would take into account in pricing a transaction. Private loans valuations rely primarily on the use of significant unobservable inputs, including credit assumptions, which require significant judgment. Futures contracts whose settlement prices are determined as of the close of the NYSE are typically valued based on the settlement price while other futures contracts are typically valued at the last traded price on the exchange on which they trade.

Other portfolio securities and assets, for which reliable market quotations are not readily available, are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Advisor's Pricing Committee following procedures established by the Advisor and adopted by the Board of Trustees. The frequency with which these fair valuation procedures are used cannot be predicted and fair value of securities may differ significantly from the value that would have been used had a ready market for such securities existed.

The fund uses a three-tier hierarchy to prioritize the pricing assumptions, referred to as inputs, used in valuation techniques to measure fair value. Level 1 includes securities valued using quoted prices in active markets for identical securities, including registered investment companies. Level 2 includes securities valued using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds and credit risk. Prices for securities valued using these inputs are received from independent pricing vendors and brokers and are based on an evaluation of the inputs described. Level 3 includes securities valued using significant unobservable inputs when market prices are not readily available or reliable, including the Advisor's assumptions in determining the fair value of investments. Factors used in determining value may include market or issuer specific events or trends, changes in interest rates and credit quality. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. Changes in valuation techniques and related inputs may result in transfers into or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy.

The following is a summary of the values by input classification of the fund's investments as of January 31, 2023, by major security category or type:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| **Significant Unobservable Input** | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Impact to Valuation<br> if input had increased** | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Impact to Valuation<br> if input had decreased** |
