#### Summary of Fair Value Disclosure as of December 31, 2025 (Unaudited)
The Trust characterizes its investments as Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3 based upon the various inputs or methodologies used to value the investments. Utilizing the valuation procedures, the Valuation Oversight Committee ("VOC") determines the level in which each investment is characterized. The VOC includes finance, operations, legal, risk and compliance members of the Trust's Adviser, and the Trust's Chief Legal Officer and Chief Compliance Officer. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that a Fund has the ability to access.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, to the extent relevant observable inputs are not available, representing a 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.

The VOC reviews the valuation procedure periodically (at least annually) to determine the appropriateness of the pricing methodologies used to value each Fund's investments. The VOC also periodically evaluates how the Trust's investments are characterized within the three-tier hierarchy and the appropriateness of third-party pricing sources. The VOC also periodically (at least annually) conducts back-testing of the value of various Level 2 and Level 3 investments to evaluate the effectiveness of the pricing methodologies including the unobservable inputs used to value those investments. Such back-testing includes comparing Level 2 and Level 3 investment values to subsequently available exchange traded prices, transaction prices, and/or observable vendor prices.

The inputs or methodologies used for characterizing each Fund's investments within the three-tier hierarchy are not necessarily an indication of the relative risks associated with investing in those investments. Foreign equity investments that are modified to reflect the estimates of a change in value from the time of the closing valuation in the foreign market until the time of the NYSE close, in accordance with information provided by a foreign fair value service are reflected as Level 2. Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers into or out of an assigned level within the hierarchy.

The following is a summary of the inputs used, as of December 31, 2025, in valuing the Funds' assets carried at fair value:
