Fair Value Measurements - Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial investments. These inputs are categorized into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three broad levels for financial reporting purposes as follows:

 

 

 

 

Level 1 —unadjusted price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical assets and liabilities

 

 

 

 

Level 2 — other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs)

 

 

 

 

Level 3 — unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the Fund’s own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments)

 

 

 

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The categorization of a value determined for investments and derivative financial instruments is based on the pricing transparency of the investment and derivative financial instrument and does not necessarily correspond to the Fund’s perceived risk of investing in those securities. For information about the Fund’s policy regarding valuation of investments and derivative financial instruments and other significant accounting policies, please refer to the Fund’s most recent financial statements as contained in its semi-annual report.

 

 

 

The following tables summarize the inputs used as of November 30, 2011 in determining the fair valuation of the Fund’s investments:
