SECURITY VALUATION — The Board of Trustees (the "Board") is responsible for the Portfolio’s valuation process. The Board has delegated the supervision of the daily valuation process to Credit Suisse Asset Management, LLC, the Portfolio’s investment adviser (“Credit Suisse” or the “Adviser”), who has established a Pricing Committee which, pursuant to the policies adopted by the Board, is responsible for making fair valuation determinations and overseeing the Portfolio’s pricing policies. The net asset value of the Portfolio is determined daily as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. (the “Exchange”) on each day the Exchange is open for business. The valuations for fixed income securities (which may include, but are not limited to, corporate, government, municipal, mortgage-backed, collateralized mortgage obligations and asset-backed securities) and certain derivative instruments are typically the prices supplied by independent third party pricing services, which may use market prices or broker/dealer quotations or a variety of valuation techniques and methodologies. The independent third party pricing services use inputs that are observable such as issuer details, interest rates, yield curves, prepayment speeds, credit risks/spreads, default rates and quoted prices for similar securities. These pricing services generally price fixed income securities assuming orderly transactions of an institutional “round lot” size, but some trades occur in smaller “odd lot” sizes which may be effected at lower prices than institutional round lot trades. Structured note agreements are valued in accordance with a dealer-supplied valuation based on changes in the value of the underlying index. Futures contracts are valued daily at the settlement price established by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded. Forward contracts are valued at the London closing spot rates and the London closing forward point rates on a daily basis. The currency forward contract pricing model derives the differential in point rates to the expiration date of the forward and calculates its present value. Over-the-counter derivative financial instruments, such as swap agreements, generally derive their value from underlying asset prices, indices, reference rates, and other inputs or a combination of these factors. Equity securities for which market quotations are available are valued at the last reported sales price or official closing price on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. The Portfolio may utilize a service provided by an independent third party which has been approved by the Board to fair value certain securities. When fair value pricing is employed, the prices of securities used by the Trust to calculate its net asset value may differ from quoted or published prices for the same securities. If independent third party pricing services are unable to supply prices for a portfolio investment, or if the prices supplied are deemed by the investment adviser to be unreliable, the market price may be determined by the investment adviser using quotations from one or more brokers/dealers or at the transaction price if the security has recently been purchased and no value has yet been obtained from a pricing service or pricing broker. When reliable prices are not readily available, such as when the value of a security has been significantly affected by events after the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded, but before the Portfolio calculates its net asset value, these securities will be fair valued in good faith by the Pricing Committee, in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board.
The Portfolio uses valuation techniques to measure fair value that are consistent with the market approach and/or income approach, depending on the type of security and the particular circumstance. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable securities. The income approach uses valuation techniques to discount estimated future cash flows to present value.
Generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) established a disclosure hierarchy that categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value assets and liabilities at each measurement date. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
| · | Level 1—quoted prices in active markets for identical investments |
| · | Level 2—other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.) |
| · | Level 3—significant unobservable inputs (including the Portfolio’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) |
The inputs or methodologies used to value securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
The following is a summary of the inputs used as of September 30, 2021 in valuing the Portfolio’s assets and liabilities carried at fair value:
