(a) All or part of this security is pledged as collateral for short sales. The market value of the securities pledged as collateral was $228,724,384.

(b) Non-income producing security.

(c) As described in the Fund’s prospectus, a company is considered to be anon-U.S. issuer if the company’s securities principally trade on a market outside of the United States, the company derives a majority of its revenues or profits outside of the United States, the company is not organized in the United States, or the company is significantly exposed to the economic fortunes and risks of regions outside the United States.

(d) Securities with a total aggregate value of $86,093,788, or 32.1% of net assets, were classified as Level 3 within the three-tier fair value hierarchy. Please see Notes to Investment Portfolio for an explanation of this hierarchy, as well as a list of unobservable inputs used in the valuation of these instruments.

(e) Represents fair value as determined by the Fund’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”), or its designee in good faith, pursuant to the policies and procedures approved by the Board. The Board considers fair valued securities to be securities for which market quotations are not readily available and these securities may be valued using a combination of observable and unobservable inputs. Securities with a total aggregate value of $86,093,788, or 32.1% of net assets, were fair valued under the Fund’s valuation procedures as of December 31, 2019. Please see Notes to Investment Portfolio.

(f) Affiliated issuer. Assets with a total aggregate market value of $117,601,428, or 43.8% of net assets, were affiliated with the Fund as of December 31, 2019.

(g) Restricted Securities. These securities are not registered and may not be sold to the public. There are legal and/or contractual restrictions on resale. The Fund does not have the right to demand that such securities be registered. The values of these securities are determined by valuations provided by pricing services, brokers, dealers, market makers, or in good faith under the procedures established by the Fund’s Board of Trustees. Additional Information regarding such securities follows:

Restricted Security	Security Type		Acquisition Date		Cost of Security		Market Value at Period End		Percent of Net Assets
TerreStar Corporation		U.S. Equity		11/14/2014	$	48,015,562	$	46,988,907		17.5	%

(h) Senior loans (also called bank loans, leveraged loans, or floating rate loans) in which the Fund invests generally pay interest at rates which are periodically determined by reference to a base lending rate plus a spread (unless otherwise identified, all senior loans carry a variable rate of interest). These base lending rates are generally (i) the Prime Rate offered by one or more major United States banks, (ii) the lending rate offered by one or more European banks such as the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or (iii) the Certificate of Deposit rate. As of December 31, 2019, the LIBOR USD 3 Month rate was 1.91%. Senior loans, while exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), contain certain restrictions on resale and cannot be sold publicly. Senior secured floating rate loans often require prepayments from excess cash flow or permit the borrower to repay at its election. The degree to which borrowers repay, whether as a contractual requirement or at their election, cannot be predicted with accuracy. As a result, the actual remaining maturity maybe substantially less than the stated maturity shown.

(i) Represents value held in escrow pending future events. No interest is being accrued.

(j) Step Bond - Represents the current rate, the step rate, the step date and the final maturity date.

(k) As of December 30, 2019, investments with a total aggregate value of $13,300,000 were fully or partially segregated with broker(s)/ custodian as collateral for reverse repurchase agreements.

As of December 31, 2019 Highland Global Allocation Fund

(l) Variable or floating rate security. The base lending rates are generally the lending rate offered by one or more European banks such as the LIBOR. The interest rate shown reflects the rate in effect December 31, 2019. LIBOR, otherwise known as London Interbank Offered Rate, is the benchmark interest rate that banks charge each other for short-term loans. Current LIBOR rates include 3 months equal to 1.91%.

(m) Perpetual security with no stated maturity date.

(n) The issuer is, or is in danger of being, in default of its payment obligation.

(o) As of December 31, 2019, $63,330,117 in cash was segregated or on deposit with the brokers to cover investments sold short and is included in “Other Assets & Liabilities, Net”.

(p) No dividend payable on security sold short.
