Fair Value Measurements | |||||||||
|
|
|
Fair value is defined as the price that the Fund would receive upon selling an investment or transferring a liability in an orderly transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market for the investment. A three-tier hierarchy is used to maximize the use of observable market data and minimize the use of unobservable inputs and to establish classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Observable inputs are based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Unobservable inputs are based on the best information available in the circumstances. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized in the three broad levels listed below: | |||||||||
|
|
|
Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. | |||||||||
|
|
|
Level 2 - Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.). | |||||||||
|
|
|
Level 3 - Significant unobservable inputs (including management’s assumptions in determining the fair value of investments). | |||||||||
|
|
|
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. The following is a summary of the Fund’s fair value measurements as of October 31, 2011: | |||||||||

The following information is presented on an income tax basis. Differences between amounts for financial statement and federal income tax purposes are primarily due to the treatment of paydown gains and losses, timing differences in recognizing certain gains and losses on investment transactions. To the extent that differences arise that are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities presented in the annual report, based on their federal tax basis treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification. Temporary and permanent differences do not impact the net asset value of the Fund. | ||||||||||||||

For Fund portfolio compliance purposes, the Fund’s industry classifications refer to any one or more of the industry sub-classifications used by one or more widely recognized market indexes or ratings group indexes, and/or as defined by Fund management. This definition may not apply for purposes of this report, which may combine industry sub-classifications into sectors for reporting ease. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
(1) |
All percentages shown in the Portfolio of Investments are based on net assets applicable to Common shares unless otherwise noted. |
|
|
(2) |
Senior Loans generally are subject to mandatory and/or optional prepayment. Because of these mandatory prepayment conditions and because there may be significant economic incentives for a Borrower to prepay, prepayments of Senior Loans may occur. As a result, the actual remaining maturity of Senior Loans held may be substantially less than the stated maturities shown. |
|
|
(3) |
Ratings: Using the highest of Standard & Poor’s Group (“Standard & Poor’s”), Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”) or Fitch, Inc. (“Fitch”) rating. Ratings below BBB by Standard & Poor’s, Baa by Moody’s or BBB by Fitch are considered to be below investment grade. Holdings designated N/R are not rated by any of these national rating agencies. |
|
|
(4) |
Senior Loans generally pay interest at rates which are periodically adjusted by reference to a base short-term, floating lending rate plus an assigned fixed rate. These floating lending rates are generally (i) the lending rate referenced by the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), or (ii) the prime rate offered by one or more major United States banks. |
|
|
|
Senior Loans may be considered restricted in that the Fund ordinarily is contractually obligated to receive approval from the Agent Bank and/or Borrower prior to the disposition of a Senior Loan. |
|
|
(5) |
At or subsequent to the end of the reporting period, this security is non-income producing. Non-income producing security, in the case of a bond, generally denotes that the issuer has (1) defaulted on the payment of principal or interest, (2) is under the protection of the Federal Bankruptcy Court or (3) the Fund’s Adviser has concluded that the issue is not likely to meet its future interest payment obligations and has directed the Fund’s custodian to cease accruing additional income on the Fund’s records. |
|
|
(6) |
Non-income producing; issuer has not declared a dividend within the past twelve months. |
|
|
(7) |
Negative value represents unrealized depreciation on unfunded Senior Loan commitment outstanding at October 31, 2011. |
|
|
(8) |
For fair value measurement disclosure purposes, Common Stock categorized as Level 2. |
|
|
(9) |
Borrowings as a percentage of Total Investments is 24.4%. |
|
|
(10) |
The Fund segregates 100% of its eligible investments in the Portfolio of Investments as collateral for Borrowings. |
|
|
(11) |
Other Assets Less Liabilities includes the Value and/or Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) of derivative instruments as noted in Investments in Derivatives at October 31, 2011. |
|
|
(12) |
Effective date represents the date on which both the Fund and Counterparty commence interest payment accruals on each forward swap contract. |
|
|
(13) |
Investment, or portion of investment, has been pledged as collateral for investments in derivatives. |
|
|
(14) |
Investment, or portion of investment, represents an unfunded Senior Loan commitment outstanding at October 31, 2011. At October 31, 2011, the Fund had unfunded Senior Loan commitments of $2,000,000. |
|

|
|
DD1 |
Investment, or portion of investment, purchased on a delayed delivery basis. |

144A |
Investment is exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. These investments may only be resold in transactions exempt from registration, which are normally those transactions with qualified institutional buyers. |
|
|
PIK |
Payment in-kind. |
|
|
TBD |
Senior Loan purchased on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis. Certain details associated with this purchase are not known prior to the settlement date of the transaction. In addition, Senior Loans typically trade without accrued interest and therefore a weighted average coupon rate is not available prior to settlement. At settlement, if still unknown, the Borrower or counterparty will provide the Fund with the final weighted average coupon rate and maturity date. |
