A. |
Investment
Valuation – The following is a summary of the Fund’s pricing procedures. It is intended to be a general discussion
and may not necessarily reflect all the pricing procedures followed by the Fund. Equity securities, including common stocks, preferred
stocks, and real estate investment trusts (“REITS”) that are traded on a national securities exchange, except those listed
on the Nasdaq Global Market®, Nasdaq Global Select Market® and the Nasdaq Capital Market®
exchanges (collectively “Nasdaq”), are valued at the last reported sale price on that exchange on which the security is principally
traded. Securities traded on Nasdaq will be valued at the Nasdaq Official Closing Price (“NOCP”). If, on a particular day,
an exchange traded or Nasdaq security does not trade, then the mean between the most recent quoted bid and asked prices will be used.
All equity securities that are not traded on a listed exchange are valued at the last sale price in the over-the-counter market. If a
non-exchanged traded equity security does not trade on a particular day, then the mean between the last quoted closing bid and asked price
will be used. To the extent these securities are actively traded, and valuation adjustments are not applied, they are categorized in Level 1
of the fair value hierarchy. |
|
7 |
|
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. |

B. |
Cash Equivalents
– Idle cash may be swept into various overnight demand deposits and classified as Cash Equivalents on the Statement of Assets
and Liabilities. The Fund maintains cash in a bank deposit account which, at times, may exceed the United States federally insured limit.
Amounts swept overnight are available on the next business day. Any temporary cash overdrafts by the Fund are reported as a payable to
the custodian. |
C. |
Written Option
Contracts – The Fund is subject to equity price risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. The Fund
writes (sells) put or call options for hedging purposes, volatility management purposes, or otherwise to gain, or reduce, long or short
exposure to one or more asset classes or issuers. When a Fund writes (sells) an option, an amount equal to the premium received by the
Fund is included in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an asset and an equivalent liability. The amount of the liability is subsequently
priced daily to reflect the current value of the option written. Refer to Note 2 A. for a pricing description. By writing an option, the
Fund may become obligated during the term of the option to deliver or purchase the securities underlying the option at the exercise price
if the option is exercised. These contracts may involve market risk in excess of the amounts receivable or payable reflected on the Statement
of Assets and Liabilities. Refer to Note 2 M. for further derivative disclosures and Note 2 J. for further counterparty risk
disclosure. |
D. |
Purchased
Option Contracts – The Fund is subject to equity price risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. The
Fund will purchase call or put options. In connection with the Fund’s written option contracts, the Fund will simultaneously use
options on ETFs. When the Fund purchases an option contract, an amount equal to the premiums paid is included in the Statement of Assets
and Liabilities as Investments at value, and is subsequently priced daily to reflect the value of the purchased option contract. Refer
to Note 2 A. for a pricing description. Refer to Note 2 M. for further derivative disclosures and Note 2 J. for further counterparty risk
disclosure. When option contracts expire or are closed, realized gains or losses are recognized without regard to any unrealized appreciation
or depreciation on the underlying securities that may be held by the Fund. If the Fund exercises a call option, the cost of the security
acquired is increased by the premium paid for the call. If the Fund exercises a put option, the premium paid for the put option increases
the cost of the underlying security and a gain or loss is realized from the sale of the underlying security. |
E. |
Flex Options
– FLEX Options are customized option contracts available through the Cboe that are guaranteed for settlement by The Options
Clearing Corporation (“OCC” or the “Clearinghouse”). FLEX Options provide investors with the ability to customize
exercise prices and expiration dates, while achieving price discovery in competitive, transparent auctions markets and avoiding the counterparty
exposure of over-the-counter (“OTC”) options positions. The Fund bears the risk that the Clearinghouse will be unable or unwilling
to perform its obligations under the FLEX Options contracts. |
F. |
Guarantees
and Indemnifications – In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts with service providers that contain
general indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims
that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. |
G. |
Security Transactions,
Income and Expenses – The Fund follows industry practice and records security transactions on the trade date. Realized gains
and losses on sales of securities are calculated on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date
and interest income and expense is recorded on an accrual basis. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance
|
|
9 |
|
H. |
Allocation,
Expenses – Expenses associated with a specific fund in the Trust are charged to that fund. Common Trust expenses are typically
allocated evenly between the funds of the Trust, or by other equitable means. |
I. |
Share Valuation
– The NAV per share of the Fund is calculated by dividing the sum of the value of the securities held by the Fund, plus cash
or other assets, minus all liabilities (including estimated accrued expenses) by the total number of shares outstanding for the Fund,
rounded to the nearest cent. The Fund’s shares will not be priced on days which the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”)
is closed for trading. |
J. |
Counterparty
Risk – The Fund helps manage counterparty credit risk by entering into agreements only with counterparties the Adviser believes
have the financial resources to honor its obligations. The Adviser considers the credit worthiness of each counterparty to a contract
in evaluating potential credit risk. Written options contracts sold on an exchange do not expose the Fund to counterparty risk; the exchange’s
clearinghouse guarantees the options against counterparty nonperformance. Over-the-counter options counterparty risk includes the risk
of loss of the full amount of any net unrealized appreciation. |
K. |
Use of Estimates
– The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
|
L. |
Statement
of Cash Flows – Pursuant to the Cash Flows Topic of the Codification, the Fund qualifies for an exemption from the requirement
to provide a statement of cash flows and has elected not to provide a statement of cash flows. |
M. |
Derivatives
– The Fund may utilize derivative instruments such as options and other instruments with similar characteristics to the extent
that they are consistent with the Fund’s respective investment objectives and limitations. The use of these instruments may involve
additional investment risks, including the possibility of illiquid markets or imperfect correlation between the value of the instruments
and the underlying securities. Derivatives also may create leverage which will amplify the effect of their performance on the Fund and
may produce significant losses. Refer to Note 6 for further derivative disclosure. |
