Fair Value Measurements — Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments, which are as follows:

 

 

 

 

 

 

Level 1 — 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, repayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs)
