Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), and expands disclosure about fair value measurements.  It also provides guidance on determining when there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for an asset or liability, when a transaction is not orderly, and how that information must be incorporated into a fair value measurement.

Under Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments.  These inputs are summarized into three broad Levels as described below:

 
·
Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Fund has the ability to access.
 
·
Level 2 – Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.  These inputs may include quoted prices for the identical instrument on an inactive market, prices for similar instruments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, default rates and similar data.
 
·
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, to the extent relevant observable inputs are not available, representing the Fund’s own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability, and would be based on the best information available.

The availability of observable inputs can vary from security to security and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of security, whether the security is new and not yet established in the marketplace, the liquidity of markets, and other characteristics particular to the security. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. 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.

In addition, the Fund has adopted Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-04 Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs which amends Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures to establish common requirements for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements in accordance with U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards.  Enhanced disclosure is required to detail any transfers in to and out of Level 1 and Level 2 measurements and Level 2 and Level 3 measurements and the reasons for the transfers.

All Master Limited Partnerships held by the Fund are Level 1 securities.  For a detailed break-out of Master Limited Partnerships by major industry classification, please refer to the Schedule of Investments.

The Fund did not hold any Level 2 & 3 securities at period end.

Transfers are recognized at the end of the reporting period. There were no transfers during the period.

At February 28, 2014, gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation on investments owned by the Fund, based on cost for federal income tax purposes was as follows:
 
Cost of investments
  $ 371,636,043  
         
Gross unrealized appreciation
  $ 26,501,863  
Gross unrealized depreciation
    (21,251,265 )
         
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments
  $ 5,250,598  
 
The difference between cost amounts for financial statement and federal income tax purposes is due primarily to income/(loss) from Master Limited Partnership (“MLP”) K-1s, which is treated as an increase/(decrease) in cost basis of the MLP shares held, and timing differences in recognizing certain gains and losses in security transactions.
