The

investment

manager

is

assisted

by

the

Funds'

administrator

in

performing

this

responsibility,

including

leading

the

cross-functional

Valuation

Committee

(VC).

The

Funds

may

utilize

independent

pricing

services,

quotations

from

securities

and

financial

instrument

dealers,

and

other

market

sources

to

determine

fair

value. 

Equity

securities

listed

on

an

exchange

or

on

the

NASDAQ

National

Market

System

are

valued

at

the

last

quoted

sale

price

or

the

official

closing

price

of

the

day,

respectively.

Foreign

equity

securities

are

valued

as

of

the

close

of

trading

on

the

foreign

stock

exchange

on

which

the

security

is

primarily

traded

or

as

of

4

p.m.

Eastern

time.

The

value

is

then

converted

into

its

U.S.

dollar

equivalent

at

the

foreign

exchange

rate

in

effect

at

4

p.m. Eastern

time

on

the

day

that

the

value

of

the

security

is

determined.

Over-the-counter

(OTC)

securities

are

valued

within

the

range

of

the

most

recent

quoted

bid

and

ask

prices.

Securities

that

trade

in

multiple

markets

or

on

multiple

exchanges

are

valued

according

to

the

broadest

and

most

representative

market.

Certain

equity

securities

are

valued

based

upon

fundamental

characteristics

or

relationships

to

similar

securities.

Investments

in

open-end

mutual

funds

are

valued

at

the

closing

NAV.

The

Funds

have procedures

to

determine

the

fair

value

of

financial

instruments

for

which

market

prices

are

not

reliable

or

readily

available.

Under

these

procedures,

the

Funds

primarily employ

a

market-based

approach

which

may

use

related

or

comparable

assets

or

liabilities,

recent

transactions,

market

multiples,

and

other

relevant

information

for

the

investment

to

determine

the

fair

value

of

the

investment.

An

income-based

valuation

approach

may

also

be

used

in

which

the

anticipated

future

cash

flows

of

the

investment

are

discounted

to

calculate

fair

value.

Discounts

may

also

be

applied

due

to

the

nature

or

duration

of

any

restrictions

on

the

disposition

of

the

investments.

Due

to

the

inherent

uncertainty

of

valuations

of

such

investments,

the

fair

values

may

differ

significantly

from

the

values

that

would

have

been

used

had

an

active

market

existed. 

Trading

in

securities

on

foreign

securities

stock

exchanges

and

OTC

markets

may

be

completed

before

4

p.m.

Eastern

time.

In

addition,

trading

in

certain

foreign

markets

may

not

take

place

on

every

Funds’ business

day.

Events

can

occur

between

the

time

at

which

trading

in

a

foreign

security

is

completed

and

4

p.m.

Eastern

time

that

might

call

into

question

the

reliability

of

the

value

of

a

portfolio

security

held

by

the

Fund.

As

a

result,

differences

may

arise

between

the

value

of

the

Funds’

portfolio

securities

as

determined

at

the

foreign

market

close

and

the

latest

indications

of

value

at

4

p.m.

Eastern

time.

In

order

to

minimize

the

potential

for

these

differences,

an

independent

pricing

service

may

be

used

to

adjust

the

value

of

the

Funds'

portfolio

securities

to

the

latest

indications

of

fair

value

at 4

p.m.

Eastern

time.

At

January

31,

2024,

certain

securities

may

have

been

fair

valued

using

these

procedures,

in

which

case

the

securities

were

categorized

as

Level

2

within

the

fair

value

hierarchy

(referred

to

as

"market

level

fair

value").

a

fund

owns

5%

or

more

of

the

outstanding

voting

securities.

Additionally,

as

defined

in

the

1940

Act,

an

investment

is

deemed

to

be

a

“Controlled

Affiliate”

of

a

fund

when

a

fund

owns,

either

directly

or

indirectly,

25%

or

more

of

the

affiliated

outstanding

shares

or

has

the

power

to

exercise

Measurements 

The

follow

a

hierarchy

that

distinguishes

between

market

data

obtained

from

independent

sources

(observable

inputs)

and

the

Funds'

own

market

assumptions

(unobservable

inputs).

These

inputs

are

used

in

determining

the

value

of

the

Funds’

financial

instruments

and

are

summarized

in

the

following

fair

value

hierarchy:

Level

1

–

quoted

prices

in

active

markets

for

identical

financial

instruments

Level

2

–

other

significant

observable

inputs

(including

quoted

prices

for

similar

financial

instruments,

interest

rates,

prepayment

speed,

credit

risk,

etc.)

Level

3

–

significant

unobservable

inputs

(including

the

Funds'

own

assumptions

in

determining

the

fair

value

of

financial

instruments)

The

levels

are

not

necessarily

an

indication
