Fair

Valuation

of

Securities

For

the

Funds’

policies

regarding

the

valuation

of

investments

and

other

significant

accounting

policies,

please

refer

to

the

Notes

to

Financial

Statements.

The

Funds

are

required

to

disclose

information

regarding

the

fair

value

measurements

of

a

Fund’s

assets

and

liabilities.

Fair

value

is

the

price

that

would

be

received

to

sell

an

asset

or

paid

to

transfer

a

liability

in

an

orderly

transaction

between

market

participants

at

the

measurement

date.

The

measurement

requirements

established

a

three-tier

hierarchy

to

maximize

the

use

of

observable

market

data

and

minimize

the

use

of

unobservable

inputs

and

to

establish

classification

of

fair

value

measurements

for

disclosure

purposes.

Inputs

refer

broadly

to

the

assumptions

that

market

participants

would

use

in

pricing

the

asset

or

liability,

including

assumptions

about

risk,

for

example,

the

risk

inherent

in

a

particular

valuation

technique

used

to

measure

fair

value

including

such

a

pricing

model

and/or

the

risk

inherent

in

the

inputs

to

the

valuation

technique.

Inputs

may

be

observable

or

unobservable.

Observable

inputs

are

inputs

that

reflect

the

assumptions

market

participants

would

use

in

pricing

the

asset

or

liability

developed

based

on

market

data

obtained

from

sources

independent

of

the

reporting

entity.

Unobservable

inputs

are

inputs

that

reflect

the

reporting

entity’s

own

assumptions

about

the

assumptions

market

participants

would

use

in

pricing

the

asset

or

liability

developed

based

on

the

best

information

available

in

the

circumstances.

The

inputs

or

methodology

used

for

valuing

securities

are

not

necessarily

an

indication

of

the

risk

associated

with

investing

in

those

securities.

Because

of

the

inherent

uncertainties

of

valuation,

the

values

reflected

in

the

portfolios

may

materially

differ

from

the

values

received

upon

actual

sale

of

those

investments.

The

three

levels

defined

by

the

fair

value

hierarchy

are

as

follows:

Level

1

–

Quoted

prices

in

active

markets

for

identical

securities.

Level

2

–

Prices

determined

using

significant

other

observable

inputs

(including

quoted

prices

for

similar

securities,

interest

rates,

prepayment

speeds,

credit

risk,

etc.).

Short-term

securities

with

maturities

of

sixty

days

or

less

are

valued

at

amortized

cost,

which

approximates

market

value,

and

are

categorized

as

Level

2

in

the

hierarchy.

Municipal

securities,

long-

term

U.S.

government

obligations

and

corporate

debt

securities

are

valued

in

accordance

with

the

evaluated

price

supplied

by

a

pricing

service

and

generally

categorized

as

Level

2

in

the

hierarchy.

Other

securities

that

are

categorized

as

Level

2

in

the

hierarchy

include,

but

are

not

limited

to,

warrants

that

do

not

trade

on

an

exchange,

securities

valued

at

the

mean

between

the

last

reported

bid

and

ask

quotation

and

international

equity

securities

valued

by

an

independent

third

party

in

order

to

adjust

for

stale

pricing.

Level

3

–

Prices

determined

using

significant

unobservable

inputs

(including

the

Fund’s

own

assumptions).

For

restricted

equity

securities

and

private

placements

where

observable

inputs

are

limited,

assumptions

about

market

activity

and

risk

are

used

in

determining

fair

value.

The

majority

of

securities

classified

as

Level

3

are

private

companies.

The

initial

valuation

is

usually

cost,

which

is

then

adjusted

as

determined

by

the

Valuation

Committee

for

subsequent

known

market

transactions

and

evaluated

for

progress

against

anticipated

milestones

and

current

operations.

An

evaluation

that

the

holding

no

longer

meets

expectations

could

result

in

the

application

of

discounts

and

a

significantly

lower

fair

valuation.

For

certain

securities,

the

last

known

market

transaction

is

increased

or

decreased

by

changes

in

a

market

index

or

industry

peers

as

approved

by

the

Valuation

Committee.

Affiliated

Companies

The

of

the

outstanding

voting

securities.

The

following

is

a

summary

of

transactions

with

each

affiliated

company

during

the

period

ended

March

31,

2021.

At

the

the

of

in

was

Restricted

Securities

The

following

securities

are

subject

to

contractual

and

regulatory

restrictions

on

resale

or

transfer.

These

investments

may

involve

a

high

degree

of

business

and

financial

risk.

Because

of

the

thinly

traded

markets

for

these

investments,

a

Fund

may

be

unable

to

liquidate

its

securities

in

a

timely

manner,

especially

if

there

is

negative

news

regarding

the

specific

securities

or

the

markets

overall.

These

securities

could

decline

significantly

in

value

before

the

Fund

could

liquidate

these

securities.

The

issuer

bears

the

cost

of

registration,
