In accordance with U.S. GAAP regarding fair value measurements, fair value is defined as the price that the Fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The U.S. GAAP disclosure requirements establish a framework for measuring fair value, and a three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability. Inputs may be observable or unobservable and refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Fund. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best information available in the circumstances. Each investment is assigned a level based upon the observability of the inputs which are significant to the overall valuation. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized 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 Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

The following table summarizes the valuation of the Fund’s investments by the above fair value hierarchy levels as of March 31, 2012:

^ The Fund held securities with zero market value at period end.
* Other financial instruments are derivative instruments, such as futures, forwards and swap contracts, which are valued at the unrealized appreciation/depreciation on the instrument.

There were no significant transfers between level 1 and level 2 during the reporting period.

Following is a reconciliation of investments in which significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) were used in determining fair value. The transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy assumes the financial instrument was transferred at the beginning of the reporting period.

Asset-Backed Securities, Commercial Mortgage-Backed Securities and Collateralized Mortgage Obligations

Within the non-Agency Mortgage Backed (RMBS and CMO) as well as the non-Credit Card or non-Auto Loan backed Asset Backed Securities, due to the relative illiquidity of these markets, the inability of the Fund to observe trading activity in the markets, and the dealer quotes not being indicative to trade, the Fund has determined securities in these sectors generally warrant a Level 3 classification.

Because of the wide range of spreads and relatively low trading activity of similar securities, the Fund’s Valuation Committee engages in a regular review process of such securities which meets as often as daily, and involves (as needed) participation from the Mortgage Trading Desk, Fixed Income Research, Risk, Pricing Group, Fund Accounting and Legal. The Fund’s Pricing Group gathers prices from Pricing Direct and IDC (and other vendors as deemed appropriate over time) and from major recognized dealers who make a market in these instruments. The Fund’s trading desk reports on trading activity and engages in dialogue with the trading personnel at the dealers. This review covers the entire portfolio of securities in this sector.

Because the Fund has declared these instruments as Level 3 (due to wide spreads, low quality ratings, and relatively low trading activity), significant inputs (including CPR, Loss Severity, and Probability of Default) generally considered observable are deemed unobservable in these asset classes. The Fund’s Valuation Committee periodically reviews these asset classes (as a standing practice) to confirm that the status remains unchanged. In the future, as markets become more liquid and thus typically more observable, it is possible that these markets may be adjusted to Level 2.

The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Fund’s Collateralized Mortgage Obligation Securities are CPR, Loss Severity, and Probability of Default. On non-evaluated assets, broker quotes are used when other market information not available to produce an evaluation and are considered non-observable. Generally, a change in the assumption used for the probability of default is accompanied by a directionally similar change in the assumption used for the loss severity and a directionally opposite change in the assumption used for prepayment rates.

Bank Loans

The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Fund’s Bank Loans are the market quotes that are received by the vendor and aggregated into the consensus price.
