Notes to Schedule of Investments:

 

*

Portfolio securities and other financial instruments for which market quotations are readily available are stated at market value. Market value is generally determined on the basis of last reported sales prices, or if no sales are reported, on the basis of quotes obtained from a quotation reporting system, established market makers, or independent pricing services.

 

 

 

Portfolio securities and other financial instruments for which market quotations are not readily available, or for which a development/event occurs that may significantly impact the value of a security, are fair-valued, in good faith, pursuant to procedures established by the Board of Trustees, or persons acting at their discretion pursuant to procedures established by the Board of Trustees, including certain fixed income securities which may be valued with reference to securities whose prices are more readily available. The Fund’s investments are valued daily using prices supplied by an independent pricing service or dealer quotations, or by using the last sale price on the exchange that is the primary market for such securities, or the mean between the last quoted bid and ask price. Independent pricing services use information provided by market makers or estimates of market values obtained from yield data relating to investments or securities with similar characteristics. Centrally cleared swaps are valued at the price determined by the relevant exchange. Short-term securities maturing in 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, if their original term to maturity was 60 days or less, or by amortizing their value on the 61st day prior to maturity, if the original term to maturity exceeded 60 days. Investments initially valued in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are converted to the U.S. dollar using exchange rates obtained from pricing services. As a result, the net asset value (“NAV”) of the Fund’s shares may be affected by changes in the value of currencies in relation to the U.S. dollar. The value of securities traded in markets outside the United States or denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar may be affected significantly on a day that the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) is closed.

 

 

 

The prices used by the Fund to value securities may differ from the value that would be realized if the securities were sold, and these differences could be material. The Fund’s NAV is normally determined as of the close of regular trading (normally, 4:00 p.m. Eastern time) on the NYSE on each day the NYSE is open for business.

 

 

(a)

Private Placement—Restricted as to resale and may not have a readily available market. Securities with an aggregate value of $300,229,084, representing 23.6% of total investments.

 

 

(b)

Illiquid.

 

 

(c)

These securities generally pay interest at rates which are periodically pre-determined by reference to a base lending rate plus a premium. These base lending rates are generally either the lending rate offered by one or more major European banks, such as the “LIBOR” or the prime rate offered by one or more major United States banks, or the certificate of deposit rate. These securities are generally considered to be restricted as the Fund is ordinarily contractually obligated to receive approval from the Agent bank and/or borrower prior to disposition. Remaining maturities of senior loans may be less than the stated maturities shown as a result of contractual or optional payments by the borrower. Such prepayments cannot be predicted with certainty. The interest rate disclosed reflects the rate in effect on December 31, 2011.

 

 

(d)

144A—Exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933. These securities may be resold in transactions exempt from registration, typically only to qualified institutional buyers. Unless otherwise indicated, these securities are not considered to be illiquid.

 

 

(e)

In default.

 

 

(f)

Fair-Valued—Security with a value of $16,651,264, representing 1.3% of total investments.

 

 

(g)

Perpetual maturity. The date shown is the next call date. For Corporate Bonds & Notes, the interest rate is fixed until the first call date and variable thereafter.

 

 

(h)

All or partial amount segregated for the benefit of the counterparty as collateral for derivatives.

 

 

(i)

Non-income producing.

 

 

(j)

All or partial amount transferred for the benefit of the counterparty as collateral for reverse repurchase agreements.

 

 

(k)

Restricted. The aggregate acquisition cost of such securities is $59,328,517 and the aggregate market value is $55,743,729, representing 4.4% of total investments.

 

 

(l)

Security is subject to a forbearance agreement entered into by the Fund which forbears the Fund from taking action to, among other things, accelerate and collect payments on the subject note with respect to specified events of default.

 

 

(m)

Dividend rate is fixed until the first call date and variable thereafter.

 

 

(n)

Rates reflect the effective yields at purchase date.

 

 

(o)

At December 31, 2011, the cost basis of portfolio securities for federal income tax purposes was $1,207,063,164. Gross unrealized appreciation was $129,987,477; gross unrealized depreciation was $65,410,613; and net unrealized appreciation was $64,576,864. The difference between book and tax cost basis was attributable to wash sale loss deferrals.

(1) This represents the maximum potential amount the Fund could be required to make available as a seller of credit protection or receive as a buyer of credit protection if a credit event occurs as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement.

 

(2) The quoted market prices and resulting values for credit default swap agreements serve as an indicator of the status at December 31, 2011 of the payment/performance risk and represent the likelihood of an expected liability (or profit) for the credit derivative should the notional amount of the swap agreement been closed/sold as of the period end. Increasing market values, in absolute terms when compared to the notional amount of the swap, represent a deterioration of the referenced 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.

Fair Value Measurements

 

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e. the “exit price”) in an orderly transaction between market participants. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:

 

·

Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical investments that the Fund has the ability to access

·

Level 2 – valuations based on other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.) or quotes from inactive exchanges

·

Level 3 – valuations based on significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

 

An investment asset’s or liability’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level input, individually or in the aggregate, that is significant to fair value measurement. The objective of fair value measurement remains the same even when there is a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for an asset or liability and regardless of the valuation technique used.

 

The valuation techniques used by the Fund to measure fair value during the nine months ended December 31, 2011 maximized the use of observable inputs and minimized the use of unobservable inputs. When fair-valuing securities, the Fund utilized option adjusted spread pricing techniques.

 

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. The following are certain inputs and techniques that the Fund generally uses to evaluate how to classify each major category of assets and liabilities for Level 2 and Level 3, in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.

 

Equity Securities (Common and Preferred Stock) — Equity securities traded in inactive markets and certain foreign equity securities are valued using inputs which include broker-dealer quotes, recently executed transactions adjusted for changes in the benchmark index, or evaluated price quotes received from independent pricing services that take into account the integrity of the market sector and issuer, the individual characteristics of the security, and information received from broker-dealers and other market sources pertaining to the issuer or security. To the extent that these inputs are observable, the values of equity securities are categorized as Level 2. To the extent that these inputs are unobservable, the values are categorized as Level 3.

 

U.S. Treasury Obligations — U.S. Treasury obligations are valued by independent pricing services based on pricing models that evaluate the mean between the most recently quoted bid and ask price. The models also take into consideration data received from active market makers and broker-dealers, yield curves, and the spread over comparable U.S. Treasury issues. The spreads change daily in response to market conditions and are generally obtained from the new issue market and broker-dealer sources. To the extent that these inputs are observable, the values of U.S. Treasury obligations are categorized as Level 2 to the extent that these inputs are unobservable, the values are categorized as Level 3.

 

Government Sponsored Enterprise and Mortgage-Backed Securities — Government sponsored enterprise and mortgage-backed securities are valued by independent pricing services using pricing models based on inputs that include issuer type, coupon, cash flows, mortgage prepayment projection tables and Adjustable Rate Mortgage evaluations that incorporate index data, periodic and life caps, the next coupon reset date, and the convertibility of the bond. To the extent that these inputs are observable, the values of Government sponsored enterprise and mortgage-backed securities are categorized as Level 2. To the extent that these inputs are unobservable, the values are categorized as Level 3.

 

Municipal Bonds — Municipal bonds are valued by independent pricing services based on pricing models that take into account, among other factors, information received from market makers and broker-dealers, current trades, bid-want lists, offerings, market movements, the callability of the bond, state of issuance, benchmark yield curves, and bond insurance. To the extent that these inputs are observable, the values of municipal bonds are categorized as Level 2. To the extent that these inputs are unobservable, the values are categorized as Level 3.

 

Corporate Bonds & Notes — Corporate bonds and notes are generally comprised of two main categories: investment grade bonds and high yield bonds. Investment grade bonds are valued by independent pricing services using various inputs and techniques, which include broker-dealer quotations, live trading levels, recently executed transactions in securities of the issuer or comparable issuers, and option adjusted spread models that include base curve and spread curve inputs. Adjustments to individual bonds can be applied to recognize trading differences compared to other bonds issued by the same issuer. High yield bonds are valued by independent pricing services based primarily on broker-dealer quotations from relevant market makers and recently executed transactions in securities of the issuer or comparable issuers. The broker-dealer quotations received are supported by credit analysis of the issuer that takes into consideration credit quality assessments, daily trading activity, and the activity of the underlying equities, listed bonds and sector-specific trends. To the extent that these inputs are observable, the values of corporate bonds and notes are categorized as Level 2. To the extent that these inputs are unobservable, the values are categorized as Level 3.

 

Asset-Backed Securities and Collateralized Mortgage Obligations — Asset-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations are valued by independent pricing services using pricing models based on a security’s average life volatility. The models also take into account tranche characteristics such as coupon average life, collateral types, ratings, the issuer and tranche type, underlying collateral and performance of the collateral, and discount margin for certain floating rate issues.
