Fair Value Measurements
U.S. generally accepted accounting
principles (U.S. GAAP) establishes a disclosure hierarchy that categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value assets and liabilities at measurement date. These inputs are summarized in the three broad
levels listed below:
Level 1 - quoted prices in active
markets for identical securities
Level 2 - other significant
observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
Level 3 - significant unobservable
inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
The inputs or methodologies used for
valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
The following table summarizes the
market value of the Fund's holdings as of June 30, 2024, based on the inputs used to value them:
