6. Fair
Value
Measurements
The
Fund
follows
a
fair
value
hierarchy
that
distinguishes
between
market
data
obtained
from
independent
sources
(observable
inputs)
and
the
Fund's
own
market
assumptions
(unobservable
inputs).
These
inputs
are
used
in
determining
the
value
of
the
Fund's
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
Fund's own
assumptions
in
determining
the
fair
value
of
financial
instruments)
The
input
levels
are
not
necessarily
an
indication
of
the
risk
or
liquidity
associated
with
financial
instruments
at
that
level.
A
summary
of
inputs
used
as
of
March
31,
2021,
in
valuing
the
Fund's
assets
carried
at
fair
value,
is
as
follows:
A
reconciliation
in
which
Level
3
inputs
are
used
in
determining

value
is

significant
Level
3
assets
and/or
liabilities
at
the
beginning
and/or
end
