Fair Value Measurements - Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments. These inputs to valuation
techniques 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 that the Trust has the ability to access
|
|
|
|
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
Trusts own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments) |
The 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). Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised
in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3. The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, 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.
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers into or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. In accordance with the Trusts policy, transfers between different levels of the fair
value disclosure hierarchy are deemed to have occurred as of the beginning of the reporting period. 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 is not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. For information about the Trusts policy regarding valuation of investments and derivative financial
instruments and other significant accounting policies, please refer to the Trusts most recent financial statements as contained in its annual report.
The following tables summarize the Trusts investments and derivative financial instruments categorized in the
disclosure hierarchy as of October 31, 2012:
