Fair Value Hierarchy as of Period End
| • |
|
Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments. These inputs to
valuation techniques are categorized into a fair value hierarchy consisting of three broad levels for financial reporting purposes as follows: |
| |
• |
|
Level 1 — Unadjusted price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical assets or 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 Trust’s 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 fair value hierarchy classification is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. Investments classified within
Level 3 have significant unobservable inputs used by the BlackRock Global Valuation Methodologies Committee (the “Global Valuation Committee”) in determining the price for Fair Valued Investments. Level 3 investments include
equity or debt issued by privately held companies or funds. There may not be a secondary market, and/or there are a limited number of investors. Level 3 investments may also be adjusted to reflect illiquidity and/or non-transferability, with the amount of such discount estimated by the Global Valuation Committee in the absence of market information.
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers into or out of an assigned level within the hierarchy. In accordance with the Trust’s policy, transfers
between different levels of the fair value 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 investments and derivative financial instruments and is not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. For information about the Trust’s policy regarding valuation of investments
and derivative financial instruments, refer to the Trust’s most recent financial statements as contained in its annual report.
The following tables summarize
the Trust’s investments and derivative financial instruments categorized in the disclosure hierarchy:
