Security Valuation - Securities for which market quotations are readily available are valued at current market value as of 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. Effective January 1, 2011, 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. Prior to January 1, 2011, if there was no sale price, the last quoted bid price provided by an independent pricing service was used. Securities traded on NASDAQ are valued at the NASDAQ official closing price. Management has concluded there is no significant effect on the value of the portfolio due to change in methodology. Prices are taken from the primary market or exchange on which each security trades. Investment companies are valued at net asset value as reported by such company.

Most 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.

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 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 adviser 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.

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. If the pricing service is unable to provide a fair value 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. When the fair value prices are utilized, the value assigned to the foreign securities may not be quoted or published prices of the securities on their primary markets.

The Fund values restricted securities at fair value. The Fund’s estimate of fair value assumes a willing buyer and a willing seller neither acting under the compulsion to buy or sell. Although these securities may be resold in privately negotiated transactions, the prices realized on such sales could differ from the prices originally paid by the Fund or the current carrying values, and the difference could be material.

The Fund also invests in venture capital private placement securities, which are classified as Level 3 investments. In determining the fair value of these investments, management uses the market approach which includes as the primary input the capital balance reported; however adjustments to the reported capital balance may be made based on various factors, including, but not limited to, the attributes of the interest held, including the rights and obligations, and any restrictions or illiquidity of such interests, and the fair value of these venture capital investments.

For the period ended July 31, 2011, other than described above, there have been no significant changes to the valuation procedures approved by the Board.

Equity securities generally are valued at the last quoted sale price or official closing price reported on the exchange (US or foreign) or over-the-counter market on which they trade and are categorized as Level 1 securities. Securities for which no sales are reported are valued at the last quoted mean price provided by an independent pricing service. For international equity securities traded on a foreign exchange or market which closes prior to the Fund’s Valuation Time, in order to adjust for events which occur between the close of the foreign exchange they are traded on and the close of the New York Stock Exchange, a fair valuation model is used (as described above). This fair valuation model takes into account comparisons to the valuation of American Depository Receipts (ADRs), exchange-traded funds, futures contracts, and certain indices, and these securities are categorized as Level 2.

Restricted Securities - Certain of the Fund’s investments are restricted as to resale and are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by, or under the direction of, the Board under procedures established by the Board in the absence of readily ascertainable market values.

The Fund may incur certain costs in connection with the disposition of the above securities.

The Fund is required to disclose information regarding the fair value measurements of the Fund’s assets and liabilities. Fair value is defined as the price that the Fund would receive upon selling an investment in an orderly transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market of the investment. The disclosure requirements utilize a three-tier hierarchy to maximize the use of observable market data, minimize the use of unobservable inputs and to establish classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. 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.)
·	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, 2011 in valuing the Fund's investments carried at value. Refer to the Portfolio of Investments for a detailed breakout of the security types:

* Mobil Telesystems OJSC with a fair value of $4,637,400 transferred from Level 2 to Level 1 during the period. During the period ended July 31, 2011, there were no significant changes to the fair value methodologies.

The following is a reconciliation of investments in which significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) were used in determining value:

Investments, at value	Balance as of 10/31/2010	Accrued discounts/ premiums	Realized gain/(loss)	Change in unrealized appreciation/ (depreciation)	Purchases	Sales	Transfers into Level 3	Transfers out of Level 3	Balance as of 07/31/2011
Venture Capital	$6,354,637	$-	$-	$(1,056,045)	$22,500	$(498,880)	$-	$-	$4,822,212
Total	$6,354,637	$-	$-	$(1,056,045)	$22,500	$(498,880)	$-	$-	$4,822,212

Change in unrealized appreciation/depreciation relating to investments still held at July 31, 2011 is $(1,056,045).

Short-Term Investment - The Fund sweeps available cash into a short-term time deposit available through Brown Brothers Harriman & Co., (“BBH & Co.”) the Fund’s custodian. The short-term time deposit is a variable rate account classified as a short-term investment.

Federal Income Tax Cost - At July 31, 2011, 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 $152,884,183, $41,308,912, $(16,278,048) and $25,030,864, respectively.

Other information regarding the Fund is available in the Fund’s most recent Report to Shareholders. This information is also available on the website of the Securities and Exchange Commission at www.sec.gov.
