Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

(a) Security Valuation:

The Fund is required to value its securities at fair value, which is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

Securities are valued at the “Valuation Time.” The Valuation Time is as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (usually 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time). Equity securities are typically valued at the last quoted sale price. If there is no sale price available, the last quoted mean price provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Directors (the “Board”) is used. Securities traded on NASDAQ are valued at the NASDAQ official closing price. Prices are typically obtained from the primary market or exchange on which each security trades. Investment companies are valued at net asset value as reported by such company. Securities using this pricing methodology are categorized as Level 1 investments for purposes of ASU 820.

Securities listed on a foreign exchange are valued either at fair value (see description below) or at the last sale price at the close of the exchange on which the security is principally traded. Foreign securities, currencies, and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. Dollars at the exchange rate of said currencies against the U.S. Dollar, as of the Valuation Time, as provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Board.

The Fund’s equity securities that are traded on a foreign exchange or market which closes prior to the Fund’s Valuation Time are fair valued by an independent pricing service. The fair value of each such security generally is calculated by applying a valuation factor provided by the independent pricing service to the last sales price for that security. The Fund receives a factor for each security from a third party pricing provider. If the pricing service is unable to provide a valuation factor for a security, the security will continue to be valued at the last sale price at the close of the exchange on which it is principally traded, subject to adjustment by the Fund’s Pricing Committee, if deemed necessary. When the fair value prices are utilized, the value assigned to the foreign securities may not be the same as quoted or published prices of the securities on their primary markets. Securities using this valuation factor are categorized as Level 2 investments.

Debt and other fixed-income securities (other than short-term obligations) are valued at the last quoted bid price and/or by using a combination of daily quotes and matrix evaluations provided by an independent pricing service, the use of which has been approved by the Board. In the event such quotes are not available from such pricing agents, then the security may be priced based on bid quotations from broker-dealers. Short-term debt securities of sufficient credit quality, such as commercial paper and U.S. Treasury Bills having a remaining maturity of 60 days or less at the time of purchase, are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. Securities using these pricing methodologies are categorized as Level 2 investments.

Forward foreign currency contracts are valued at the last quoted bid price and/or by using a combination of daily quotes and matrix evaluations provided by a Board approved pricing agent. Swap agreements are valued daily based on the terms of the swap agreement by an independent pricing service provider. Bank loans are valued based on the terms of the bank loan by an independent pricing service provider. Forward foreign currency contracts, swap agreements and bank loans are categorized as Level 2 investments.

Future contracts traded on an exchange are valued at settlement price and are categorized as Level 1 investments.

A description of standard inputs considered by the third party pricing vendors in determining their evaluated prices for Level 2 securities is provided below.

Securities for which market quotations are not readily available, or for which an independent pricing service does not provide a value or provides a value that does not represent fair value in the judgment of the Fund’s investment manager or designee, are valued at fair value under procedures approved by the Board. In addition, fair value determinations are required for securities whose value is affected by a “significant” event that materially affects the value of a domestic or foreign security which occurs subsequent to the time of the close of the principal market on which such domestic or foreign security trades and before the Valuation Time (i.e., a “subsequent event”). Typically, this will involve events occurring after the close of a foreign market on which a security trades and before the next Valuation Time.

For the period ended July 31, 2012, there have been no changes to the valuation procedures approved by the Board.

The Fund utilizes a three-tier fair value hierarchy to establish a classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. The Level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls in its entirety is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk, for example, the risk inherent in a particular valuation technique used to measure fair value including such a pricing model and/or the risk inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. Inputs may be observable or unobservable.

Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, which are based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed 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 investments;

Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc); or

Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments, information provided by the General Partner or investee companies such as publicly traded prices, financial statements, capital statements).

The inputs or methodology used for valuing 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 July 31, 2012 in valuing the Fund’s investments carried at value. Refer to the Portfolio of Investments for a detailed breakout of the security types:

Amounts listed as “—” are $0 or round to $0.

For movements between the levels within the fair value hierarchy, the Fund has adopted a policy of recognizing transfers at the end of each period. During the period ended July 31, 2012, there were no transfers between fair value measurement levels. For the period ended July 31, 2012, there have been no significant changes to the fair valuation methodologies.

(b) Repurchase Agreements:

The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements. It is the Fund’s policy that its custodian/counterparty segregate the underlying collateral securities, the value of which exceeds the principal amount of the repurchase transaction, including accrued interest. The repurchase price generally equals the price paid by the Fund plus interest negotiated on the basis of current short-term rates. To the extent that any repurchase transaction exceeds one business day, the collateral is valued on a daily basis to determine its adequacy. If the counterparty defaults and the value of the collateral declines or if bankruptcy proceedings are commenced with respect to the counterparty of the security, realization of the collateral by the Fund may be delayed or limited. The Fund held a repurchase agreement of $33,367,000 as of July 31, 2012.

(c) Restricted Securities:

Restricted securities are privately-placed securities whose resale is restricted under U.S. securities laws. The Fund may invest in restricted securities, including unregistered securities eligible for resale without registration pursuant to Rule 144A and privately-placed securities of U.S. and non-U.S. issuers offered outside the U.S. without registration pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”). Rule 144A Securities may be freely traded among certain qualified institutional investors, such as the Fund, but resale of such securities in the U.S. is permitted only in limited circumstances.

(d) Foreign Currency Translation:

Foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. Dollars on the following basis:

 

  (i) market value of investment securities, other assets and liabilities – at the exchange rates at the current daily rates of exchange; and

 

  (ii) purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses – at the rate of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions.

The Fund isolates that portion of the results of operations arising from changes in the foreign exchange rates due to the fluctuations in the market prices of the securities held at the end of the reporting period. Similarly, the Fund isolates the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates from the fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of portfolio securities sold during the reporting period.

Net exchange gain/(loss) is realized from sales and maturities of portfolio securities, sales of foreign currencies, settlement of securities transactions, dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s books. Net unrealized foreign exchange appreciation/(depreciation) includes changes in the value of portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities arising as a result of changes in the exchange rate. The net realized and unrealized foreign exchange gain/(loss) shown in the composition of net assets represents foreign exchange gain/(loss) for book purposes that may not have been recognized for tax purposes.

Foreign security and currency transactions may involve certain considerations and risks not typically associated with those of domestic origin, including unanticipated movements in the value of the foreign currency relative to the U.S. Dollar. Generally, when the U.S. Dollar rises in value against foreign currency, the Fund’s investments denominated in that currency will lose value because its currency is worth fewer U.S. Dollars; the opposite effect occurs if the U.S. Dollar falls in relative value.

(e) Derivative Financial Instruments:

The Fund is authorized to use derivatives to manage currency, interest rate and credit risk and as a substitute for physical securities. Losses may arise due to changes in the value of the contract or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract.

Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts:

A forward foreign currency exchange contract (“forward contract”) involves an obligation to purchase and sell a specific currency at a future date at a price set at the time of the contract. Forward contracts are used to manage the Fund’s currency exposure in an efficient manner. They are used to sell unwanted currency exposure that comes with holding securities in a market, or to buy currency exposure where the exposure from holding securities is insufficient to give the desired currency exposure either in absolute terms or relative to the benchmark. The use of forward contracts allows the separation of decision making between markets and their currencies. The forward contract is marked-to-market daily and the change in market value is recorded by the Fund as unrealized appreciation or depreciation. Forward contracts’ prices are received daily from an independent pricing provider. When the forward contract is closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. The Fund could be exposed to risks if the counterparties to the contracts are unable to meet the terms of their contracts and from unanticipated movements in exchange rates.

Futures Contracts:

The Fund may invest in financial futures contracts (“futures contracts”) for the purpose of hedging its existing portfolio securities or securities that the Fund intends to purchase against fluctuations in value caused by changes in prevailing market interest rates or prices. Futures contracts may also be entered into for non-hedging purposes; however, in those instances, the aggregate initial margin and premiums required to establish the Fund’s positions may not exceed 5% of the Fund’s net asset value (“NAV”) after taking into account unrealized profits and unrealized losses on any such contract it has entered into.

Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to pledge to the broker an amount of cash and/or other assets equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount (“initial margin deposit”). Subsequent payments, known as “variation margin,” are calculated each day, depending on the daily fluctuations in the fair value/market value of the underlying assets. An unrealized gain or (loss) equal to the variation margin is recognized on a daily basis. Futures contracts are valued daily at their last quoted sale price on the exchange on which they are traded.

A “sale” of a futures contract means a contractual obligation to deliver the securities or foreign currency called for by the contract at a fixed price at a specified time in the future. A “purchase” of a futures contract means a contractual obligation to acquire the securities or foreign currency at a fixed price at a specified time in the future.

Should market conditions change unexpectedly, the Fund may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the futures contracts and may realize a loss. The use of futures transactions for hedging purposes involves the risk of imperfect correlation in movements in the price of futures contracts, interest rates and the value/market value of the underlying hedged assets.

Swaps:

A swap is an agreement that obligates two parties to exchange a series of cash flows at specified intervals based upon or calculated by reference to changes in specified prices or rates for a specified amount of an underlying asset or notional principal amount. The Fund will enter into swaps only on a net basis, which means that the two payment streams are netted out, with the Fund receiving or paying, as the case may be, only the net amount of the difference between the two payments. Risks may arise as a result of the failure of the counterparty to the swap contract to comply with the terms of the swap contract. The loss incurred by the failure of a counterparty is generally limited to the net interest payment to be received by the Fund, and/or the termination value at the end of the contract. Therefore, the Fund considers the creditworthiness of each counterparty to a swap contract in evaluating potential credit risk. Additionally, risks may arise from unanticipated movements in interest rates or in the value of the underlying reference asset or index. The Fund records unrealized gains/(losses) on a daily basis representing the value and the current net receivable or payable relating to open swap contracts. Net amounts received or paid on the swap contract are recorded as realized gains/(losses). Fluctuations in the value of swap contracts are recorded for financial statement purposes as unrealized appreciation or depreciation of swap contracts. Realized gains/(losses) from terminated swaps are included in net realized gains/(losses) on swap contracts transactions.

The Fund is a party to International Swap Dealers Association, Inc. Master Agreements (“ISDA Master Agreements”). These agreements are with select counterparties and they govern transactions, including certain over-the-counter derivative and foreign exchange contracts, entered into by the Fund and the counterparty. The ISDA Master Agreements maintain provisions for general obligations, representations, agreements, collateral, and events of default or termination. The occurrence of a specified event of termination may give a counterparty the right to terminate all of its contracts and affect settlement of all outstanding transactions under the applicable ISDA Master Agreement.

(f) Credit-Linked Notes:

The Fund invests in credit-linked securities, which are unstructured, unleveraged pass-through vehicles to an underlying security denominated in a local currency, used for the purposes of efficiently managing access to the market and interest rate risk. For instance, the Fund may invest in credit-linked securities as a cash management tool in order to gain exposure to a certain market and/or to remain fully invested when more traditional income producing securities are not available. Like an investment in a bond, investments in credit-linked securities represent the right to receive periodic income payments (in the form of distributions) and payment of principal at the end of the term of the security. However, these payments are conditioned on the issuer’s receipt of payments from, and the issuer’s potential obligations to, the counterparties to the derivative instruments and other securities in which the issuer invests. For instance, the issuer may sell one or more credit default swaps, under which the issuer would receive a stream of payments over the term of the swap agreements provided that no event of default has occurred with respect to the referenced debt obligation upon which the swap is based. If a default occurs, the stream of payments may stop and the issuer would be obligated to pay the counterparty the par value (or other agreed upon value) of the referenced debt obligation. This, in turn, would reduce the amount of income and principal that the Fund would receive. The Fund’s investments in these instruments are indirectly subject to the risks associated with derivative instruments, including, among others, credit risk, default or similar event risk, counterparty risk, interest rate risk, leverage risk and management risk. It is also expected that the securities will be exempt from registration under the 1933 Act. Accordingly, there may be no established trading market for the securities and they may constitute illiquid investments.

(g) Security Transactions, Investment Income and Expenses:

Securities transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized and unrealized gains/(losses) from security and currency transactions are calculated on the identified cost basis. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Discounts and premiums on securities purchased are accreted or amortized on an effective yield basis over the estimated lives of the respective securities. Expenses are accrued on a daily basis.

(h) Distributions:

It is the Fund’s current policy to pay distributions from net investment income supplemented by net realized foreign exchange gains, net realized short-term capital gains and return of capital distributions, if necessary, on a monthly basis. The Fund will also declare and pay distributions at least annually from net realized gains on investment transactions and net realized foreign exchange gains, if any. Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Dividends and distributions to shareholders are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments for foreign currencies, loss deferrals and recognition of market discount and premium.

(i) Federal Income Taxes

At July 31, 2012, the identified cost for federal income tax purposes, as well as the gross unrealized appreciation from investments for those securities having an excess of value over cost, gross unrealized depreciation from investments for those securities having an excess of cost over value and the net unrealized appreciation from investments were as follows:
