† See
Statement of Investments for additional detailed categorizations, if any.
†† Certain of the fund’s liabilities are held at carrying amount,
which approximates fair value for financial reporting purposes.
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification
(“ASC”) is the exclusive reference of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles
(“GAAP”) recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive
releases of the SEC under authority of federal laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants.
The fund is an investment company and applies the accounting and reporting guidance of the FASB ASC Topic
946 Financial Services-Investment Companies. The fund’s financial statements are prepared in accordance
with GAAP, which may require the use of management estimates and assumptions. Actual results could differ
from those estimates.
The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount 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 (i.e., the exit price). GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy
that prioritizes the inputs of valuation techniques used to measure fair value. This hierarchy gives
the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
(Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements).
Additionally,
GAAP provides guidance on determining whether the volume and activity in a market has decreased significantly
and whether such a decrease in activity results in transactions that are not orderly. GAAP requires enhanced
disclosures around valuation inputs and techniques used during annual and interim periods.
Various
inputs are used in determining the value of the fund’s investments relating to fair value measurements.
These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
Level 1—unadjusted 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
inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated
with investing in those securities.
Changes in valuation techniques may result
in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. Valuation techniques used
to value the fund’s investments are as follows:
The fund’s Board of Directors (the “Board”)
has designated the Adviser as the fund’s valuation designee to make all fair value determinations with
respect to the fund’s portfolio investments, subject to the Board’s oversight and pursuant to Rule
2a-5 under the Act.
Investments in municipal securities are valued each business day by an independent
pricing service (the “Service”) approved by the Board. Investments for which quoted bid prices are
readily available and are representative of the bid side of the market in the judgment of the Service
are valued at the mean between the quoted bid prices (as obtained by the Service from dealers in such
securities) and asked prices (as calculated by the Service based upon its evaluation of the market for
such securities). Municipal investments (which constitute a majority of the portfolio securities) are
carried at fair value as determined by the Service, based on methods which include consideration of the
following: yields or prices of municipal securities of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type;
indications as to values from dealers; and general market conditions. The Service is engaged under the
general oversight of the Board. All of the preceding securities are generally categorized within Level
2 of the fair value hierarchy.
When market quotations or official closing prices are not
readily available, or are determined not to accurately reflect fair value, 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 fund calculates its net asset value, the fund may
value these investments at fair value as determined in accordance with the procedures approved by the
Board. Certain factors may be considered when fair valuing investments such as: fundamental analytical
data, the nature and duration of restrictions on disposition, an evaluation of the forces that influence
the market in which the securities are purchased and sold, and public trading in similar securities of
the issuer or comparable issuers. These securities are either categorized within Level 2 or 3 of the
fair value hierarchy depending on the relevant inputs used.
For securities where
observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and such securities
are generally categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
Inverse Floater Securities:
The fund participates in secondary inverse floater structures in which fixed-rate, tax-exempt municipal
bonds are transferred to a trust (the “Inverse Floater Trust”). The Inverse Floater Trust typically
issues two variable rate securities that are collateralized by the cash flows of the fixed-rate, tax-exempt
municipal bonds. One of these variable rate securities pays interest based on a short-term floating rate
set by a remarketing agent at predetermined intervals (“Trust Certificates”). A residual interest
tax-exempt security is also created by the Inverse Floater Trust, which is transferred to the fund, and
is paid interest based on the remaining cash flows of the Inverse Floater Trust, after payment of interest
on the other securities and various expenses of the Inverse Floater Trust. An Inverse Floater Trust may
be collapsed without the consent of the fund due to certain termination events such as bankruptcy, default
or other credit event.
The fund accounts for the transfer of bonds to the Inverse
Floater Trust as secured borrowings, with the securities transferred remaining in the fund’s investments,
and the Trust Certificates reflected as fund liabilities in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
The fund may invest in inverse floater securities on either a non-recourse or
recourse basis. These securities are typically supported by a liquidity facility provided by a bank or
other financial institution (the “Liquidity Provider”) that allows the holders of the Trust Certificates
to tender their certificates in exchange for payment from the Liquidity Provider of par plus accrued
interest on any business day prior to a termination event. When the fund invests in inverse floater securities
on a non-recourse basis, the Liquidity Provider is required to make a payment under the liquidity facility
due to a termination event to the holders of the Trust Certificates. When this occurs, the Liquidity
Provider typically liquidates all or a portion of the municipal securities held in the Inverse Floater
Trust. A liquidation shortfall occurs if the Trust Certificates exceed the proceeds of the sale of the
bonds in the Inverse Floater Trust (“Liquidation Shortfall”). When a fund invests in inverse floater
securities on a recourse basis, the fund typically enters into a reimbursement agreement with the Liquidity
Provider where the fund is required to repay the Liquidity Provider the amount of any Liquidation Shortfall.
As a result, a fund investing in a recourse inverse floater security bears the risk of loss with respect
to any Liquidation Shortfall.
At December 31, 2023, accumulated net unrealized depreciation
on investments was $5,205,714, consisting of $19,539,184 gross unrealized appreciation and $24,744,898
gross unrealized depreciation.
At December 31, 2023, the cost of investments
for federal income tax purposes was substantially the same as the cost for financial reporting purposes
(see the Statement of Investments).
Additional investment related disclosures
are hereby incorporated by reference to the annual and semi-annual reports previously filed with the
SEC on Form N-CSR.
