Fair Value Measurements
In applying the valuation procedures described in this Valuation Policy, the Adviser maximizes the use of “observable” versus “unobservable” inputs in markets which are active or markets where there has not been a significant decrease in the volume and frequency of transactions, as stressed by ASC Topic 820. Observable inputs are defined as inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are defined as inputs that reflect the Adviser’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. To clarify observable versus unobservable inputs and increase consistency and comparability in Fair Value measurements, ASC Topic 820 establishes a Fair Value hierarchy (the “Fair Value Hierarchy”) that prioritizes valuation inputs into three levels, which is utilized by the Adviser. The Fair Value Hierarchy is described below in further detail.
Level 1 - Level 1 inputs (“Level 1 Inputs”) are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Adviser has the ability to access at the valuation date. As defined in ASC Topic 820, an active market (“Active Market”) for an asset or liability is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. The portfolio has investments in actively traded securities and therefore are valued through the use of Level 1 Inputs in accordance with the Fair Value Hierarchy. In accordance with ASC Topic 820, when applicable Level 1 Inputs are available for a particular security, the Fair Value of the security is equal to the quoted price multiplied by the quantity held. Adjustments are not applied to the quoted price due to the size of a position relative to trading volume (i.e., blockage).
Level 2 - Level 2 inputs (“Level 2 Inputs”) are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 Inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 Inputs can include: quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (i.e., interest rates, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks, default rates, etc.); and observable market-based inputs.
Level 3 - Level 3 inputs (“Level 3 Inputs”) are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. Unobservable inputs are used in the absence of observable inputs. Level 3 Inputs reflect the Adviser’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
The following tables summarize the inputs used for the Fund’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value.

(a) | In accordance with ASC 820-10, certain investments that are measured at fair value using the NAV per share (or its equivalent) practical expedient have not been classified in the fair value hierarchy. |
Restricted Securities
Restricted securities include securities that have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and securities that are subject to restrictions on resale. The Fund may invest in restricted securities that are consistent with the Fund’s investment objective and investment strategies. Investments in restricted securities are valued at net asset value as practical expedient for fair value, or fair value as determined in good faith in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board. It is possible that the estimated value may differ significantly from the amount that might ultimately be realized in the near term, and the difference could be material.
