(†) | Registered investment companies are required to value portfolio investments using an unadjusted, readily available market quotation. The Fund obtains readily available market quotations from independent pricing services. Fund investments for which readily available market quotations are not available are priced at fair value pursuant to the Fund’s Valuation Procedures. The Board of Trustees has approved a valuation designee who is subject to the Board’s oversight. |
Unadjusted readily available market quotations that are utilized for exchange traded equity securities (including shares of closed-end investment companies and exchange-traded funds) include the last sale price quoted on the exchange where the security is traded most extensively. Shares of open-end investment companies are valued at net asset value per share.
Exchange traded equity securities for which there is no reported sale during the day are fair valued at the closing bid quotation as reported by an independent pricing service. Unlisted equity securities (except unlisted preferred equity securities) are fair valued at the last sale price quoted in the market where they are traded most extensively or, if there is no reported sale during the day, the closing bid quotation as reported by an independent pricing service. If there is no last sale price or closing bid quotation available, unlisted equity securities will be fair valued using evaluated bids furnished by an independent pricing service, if available.
Debt securities and unlisted preferred equity securities are fair valued based on evaluated bids furnished to the Fund by an independent pricing service or bid prices obtained from broker-dealers. Senior loans and collateralized loan obligations are fair valued at bid prices supplied by an independent pricing service, if available. Broker-dealer bid prices may be used to fair value debt, unlisted equities, senior loans and collateralized loan obligations where an independent pricing service is unable to price an investment or where an independent pricing service does not provide a reliable price for the investment. Centrally cleared swap agreements are fair valued at settlement prices of the clearing house on which the contracts were traded or prices obtained from broker-dealers.
The Fund may also fair value investments in other circumstances such as when extraordinary events occur after the close of a foreign market, but prior to the close of the New York Stock Exchange. This may include situations relating to a single issuer (such as a declaration of bankruptcy or a delisting of the issuer’s security from the primary market on which it has traded) as well as events affecting the securities markets in general (such as market disruptions or closings and significant fluctuations in U.S. and/or foreign markets). When fair valuing a Fund’s investments, the valuation designee may, among other things, use modeling tools or other processes that may take into account factors such as issuer specific information, or other related market activity and/or information that occurred after the close of the foreign market but before the time the Fund’s net asset value (“NAV”) is calculated. Fair valuation by the Fund’s valuation designee may require subjective determinations about the value of the investment, and fair values used to determine a Fund’s NAV may differ from quoted or published prices, or from prices that are used by others, for the same investments. In addition, the use of fair value pricing may not always result in adjustments to the prices of investments held by a Fund.
The books and records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. The values of securities, currencies and other assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars are translated into U.S. dollars based upon foreign exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period.

(l) | The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements, under the terms of a Master Repurchase Agreement, under which the Fund acquires securities as collateral and agrees to resell the securities at an agreed upon time and at an agreed upon price. It is the Fund’s policy that the market value of the collateral for repurchase agreements be at least equal to 102% of the repurchase price, including interest. Certain repurchase agreements are tri-party arrangements whereby the collateral is held in a segregated account for the benefit of the Fund and on behalf of the counterparty. Repurchase agreements could involve certain risks in the event of default or insolvency of the counterparty, including possible delays or restrictions upon the Fund’s ability to dispose of the underlying securities. As of September 30, 2022, the Fund had an investment in a repurchase agreement for which the value of the related collateral exceeded the value of the repurchase agreement. |
(m) | Interest rate represents discount rate at time of purchase; not a coupon rate. |

Swap Agreements
The Fund may enter into credit default and interest rate swaps. A credit default swap is an agreement between two parties (the “protection buyer” and “protection seller”) to exchange the credit risk of an issuer (“reference obligation”) for a specified time period. The reference obligation may be one or more debt securities or an index of such securities. The Fund may be either the protection buyer or the protection seller. As a protection buyer, the Fund has the ability to hedge the downside risk of an issuer or group of issuers. As a protection seller, the Fund has the ability to gain exposure to an issuer or group of issuers whose bonds are unavailable or in short supply in the cash bond market, as well as realize additional income in the form of fees paid by the protection buyer. The protection buyer is obligated to pay the protection seller a stream of payments (“fees”) over the term of the contract, provided that no credit event, such as a default or a downgrade in credit rating, occurs on the reference obligation. The Fund may also pay or receive upfront premiums. If a credit event occurs, the protection seller must pay the protection buyer the difference between the agreed upon notional value and market value of the reference obligation. Market value in this case is determined by a facilitated auction whereby a minimum number of allowable broker bids, together with a specified valuation method, are used to calculate the value. The maximum potential amount of undiscounted future payments that a Fund as the protection seller could be required to make under a credit default swap agreement would be an amount equal to the notional amount of the agreement.
Implied credit spreads, represented in absolute terms, are disclosed in the Portfolio of Investments for those agreements for which the Fund is the protection seller. Implied credit spreads serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk and represent the likelihood or risk of default for the credit derivative. The implied credit spread of a particular reference entity reflects the cost of buying/selling protection and may include upfront payments required to be made to enter into the agreement. Wider credit spreads represent a deterioration of the reference entity’s credit soundness and a greater likelihood or risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the agreement.
An interest rate swap is an agreement with another party to receive or pay interest (e.g., an exchange of fixed rate payments for floating rate payments) to protect themselves from interest rate fluctuations. This type of swap is an agreement that obligates two parties to exchange a series of cash flows at specified intervals based upon or calculated by reference to a specified interest rate(s) for a specified notional amount. The payment flows are usually netted against each other, with the difference being paid by one party to the other.
Swap agreements are valued daily and fluctuations in the value are recorded as change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on swap agreements. Fees are accrued in accordance with the terms of the agreement and are recorded as part of unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on swap agreements. When received or paid, fees are recorded as realized gain or loss. Upfront premiums paid or received by the Fund are recorded as an asset or liability, respectively, and are amortized or accreted over the term of the agreement and recorded as realized gain or loss. Payments made or received by the Fund as a result of a credit event or termination of the agreement are recorded as realized gain or loss.
Swap agreements are privately negotiated in the over-the-counter (“OTC”) market and may be entered into as a bilateral contract or centrally cleared (“centrally cleared swaps”). Bilateral swap agreements are traded between counterparties and, as such, are subject to the risk that a party to the agreement will not be able to meet its obligations. In a centrally cleared swap, immediately following execution of the swap agreement, the swap agreement is novated to a central counterparty (the “CCP”) and the Fund faces the CCP through a broker. Upon entering into a centrally cleared swap, the Fund is required to deposit initial margin with the broker in the form of cash or securities in an amount that varies depending on the size and risk profile of the particular swap. Subsequent payments, known as “variation margin,” are made or received by the Fund based on the daily change in the value of the centrally cleared swap agreement. For centrally cleared swaps, the Fund’s counterparty credit risk is reduced as the CCP stands between the Fund and the counterparty. The Fund covers its net obligations under outstanding swap agreements by segregating or earmarking cash or securities.
At September 30, 2022, the Fund had the following open centrally cleared credit default swap agreements:

Fair Value Measurements
In accordance with accounting standards related to fair value measurements and disclosures, the Fund has categorized the inputs utilized in determining the value of the Fund’s assets or liabilities. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
• | Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; |
• | Level 2 — prices determined using other significant inputs that are observable either directly, or indirectly through corroboration with observable market data (which could include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, interest rates, credit risk, etc.); and |
• | Level 3 — prices determined using significant unobservable inputs when quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable such as when there is little or no market activity for an asset or liability (unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of assets or liabilities and would be based on the best information available). |
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
The Fund’s pricing policies have been approved by the Board of Trustees. Investments for which market quotations are readily available are categorized in Level 1. Other investments for which an independent pricing service is utilized are categorized in Level 2. Broker-dealer bid prices for which the Fund has knowledge of the inputs used by the broker-dealer are categorized in Level 2. All other investments, including broker-dealer bid prices for which the Fund does not have knowledge of the inputs used by the broker-dealer, as well as investments fair valued by the valuation designee, are categorized in Level 3. All Level 2 and 3 securities are defined as being fair valued.
Under certain conditions and based upon specific facts and circumstances, the Fund’s valuation designee may determine that a fair valuation should be made for portfolio investment(s). These valuation designee fair valuations will be based upon a significant amount of Level 3 inputs.
The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s investments as of September 30, 2022, at value:

The Fund’s pricing policies and procedures are recommended by the adviser and approved by the Board of Trustees. Debt securities are valued based on evaluated bids furnished to the Fund by an independent pricing service. Broker-dealer bid prices may be used if an independent pricing service either is unable to price a security or does not provide a reliable price for a security. The Fund’s adviser may use internally developed models to validate broker-dealer bid prices that are only available from a single broker or market maker. Such securities are considered and classified as fair valued. Broker-dealer bid prices for which the Fund does not have knowledge of the inputs used by the broker-dealer are categorized in Level 3. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Fund’s adviser pursuant to procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Fair valued securities may be categorized in Level 3.
The following is a reconciliation of Level 3 investments for which significant unobservable inputs were used to determine fair value as of December 31, 2021 and/or September 30, 2022:

A debt security valued at $250,000 was transferred from Level 3 to Level 2 during the period ended September 30, 2022. At December 31, 2021, this security was valued using broker-dealer bid prices based on inputs unobservable to the Fund as an independent pricing service was unable to price the security. At September 30, 2022, this security was fair valued based on evaluated bids furnished to the Fund by an independent pricing service in accordance with the Fund’s valuation policies.
Derivatives
Derivative instruments are defined as financial instruments whose value and performance are based on the value and performance of an underlying asset, reference rate or index. Derivative instruments that the Fund used during the period include swap agreements.
The Fund is subject to the risk that companies in which the Fund invests will fail financially or otherwise be unwilling or unable to meet their obligations to the Fund. The Fund may use credit default swaps, as a protection seller, to hedge its credit exposure to issuers of bonds it holds without having to sell the bonds. During the period ended September 30, 2022, the Fund engaged in credit default swap transactions (as a protection seller) to gain investment exposure.
The following is a summary of derivative instruments for the Fund, as of September 30, 2022:
Liabilities | Swap agreements at value | |||
Exchange-traded/cleared liability derivatives |

Credit contracts | $ | (9,755 | ) |
The Fund’s derivatives do not qualify for hedge accounting under authoritative guidance for derivative instruments. The Fund’s investments in derivatives may represent an economic hedge; however, they are considered to be non-hedge transactions for the purpose of this disclosure.
Counterparty risk is managed based on policies and procedures established by the Fund’s adviser. Such policies and procedures may include, but are not limited to, minimum counterparty credit rating requirements, monitoring of counterparty credit default swap spreads and posting of collateral. The Fund’s risk of loss from counterparty credit risk on over-the-counter derivatives is generally limited to the Fund’s aggregated unrealized gains and the amount of any collateral pledged to the counterparty, which may be offset by any collateral posted to the Fund by the counterparty. ISDA master agreements can help to manage counterparty risk by specifying collateral posting arrangements at pre-arranged exposure levels. Under these ISDA agreements, collateral is routinely transferred if the total net exposure in respect of certain transactions, net of existing collateral already in place, exceeds a specified amount (typically $250,000, depending on the counterparty). With exchange-traded derivatives, there is minimal counterparty credit risk to the Fund because the exchange’s clearing house, as counterparty to these instruments, stands between the buyer and the seller of the contract. Credit risk still exists in exchange-traded derivatives with respect to initial and variation margin that is held in a broker’s customer accounts. While brokers typically are required to segregate customer margin for exchange-traded derivatives from their own assets, in the event that a broker becomes insolvent or goes into bankruptcy and at that time there is a shortfall in the aggregate amount of margin held by the broker for all its customers, U.S. bankruptcy laws will typically allocate that shortfall on a pro rata basis across all of the broker’s customers, potentially resulting in losses to the Fund. The following table shows (i) the maximum amount of loss due to credit risk that, based on the gross fair value of the financial instrument, the Fund would incur if parties (including OTC derivative counterparties and brokers holding margin for exchange-traded derivatives) to the relevant financial instruments failed completely to perform according to the terms of the contracts and the collateral or other security, if any, for the amount due proved to be of no value to the Fund, and (ii) the amount of loss that the Fund would incur after taking into account master netting provisions pursuant to ISDA agreements, as of September 30, 2022:
