NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS April 30, 2024 (Unaudited)
|
NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION
|
NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
|
A.
|
Security Valuation. All equity securities, which may include Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”), Business Development Companies (“BDCs”), and Master Limited
Partnerships (“MLPs”), that are traded on U.S. or foreign national securities exchanges are valued at the last reported sale price on the exchange on which the security is principally traded or the exchange’s official closing price, if
applicable. If, on a particular day, an exchange-traded security does not trade, then the mean between the most recent quoted bid and asked prices will be used. All equity securities, which may include REITs, BDCs, and MLPs, that are not
traded on a listed exchange are valued at the last sale price in the over the counter market. If a non-exchange traded security does not trade on a particular day, then the mean between the last quoted closing bid price and asked price will
be used.
|
|
Effective September 8, 2022, the Board approved Congress Asset Management Company, LLP (the “Advisor”), as the Funds’ valuation designee under Rule 2a-5.
|
||
As described above, the Funds utilize various methods to measure the fair value of their investments on a recurring basis. U.S. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation methods. The
three levels of inputs are:
|
Level 1 –
|
Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Funds have the ability to access.
|
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS April 30, 2024 (Unaudited) (Continued)
|
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 Funds’ 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.
|
||
The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Funds’ investments as of April 30, 2024. See the Schedules of Investments for industry breakouts.

B.
|
Foreign Currency. Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at the date of
valuation. Purchases and sales of investment securities and income and expense items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions.
|
|
The Funds do not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held.
Such fluctuations are included with the net unrealized and realized gain or loss from investments.
|
||
The Funds do not isolate net realized foreign exchange gains or losses that arise from sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities
transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Funds’ books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and
losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates.
|
||
C.
|
Federal Income Taxes. Each Fund has elected to be taxed as a “regulated investment company” and intends to distribute substantially all taxable income to its
shareholders and otherwise comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies. Therefore, no provisions for federal income taxes or excise taxes have been made.
|
|
In order to avoid imposition of the excise tax applicable to regulated investment companies, each Fund intends to declare each year as dividends in each calendar year at least 98.0% of its net investment
|
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS April 30, 2024 (Unaudited) (Continued)
|
income (earned during the calendar year) and 98.2% of its net realized capital gains (earned during the twelve months ended October 31) plus undistributed amounts, if any, from prior years.
|
||
Net income losses incurred after December 31 and within the taxable year are deemed to arise on the first business day of the Funds’ next taxable year.
|
||
As of the most recent fiscal year ended October 31, 2023, the Funds had capital loss carry-forward and deferred post-October and late year losses as follows:

As of April 30, 2024, the Funds did not have any tax positions that did not meet the threshold of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Generally, tax authorities can examine all the tax returns
filed for the last three years. The Funds identify their major tax jurisdictions as U.S. Federal and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. As of April 30, 2024, the Funds are not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible
that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially.
|
||
D.
|
Security Transactions and Investment Income. Investment securities transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Gains and losses realized on sales of securities are
determined on a specific identification basis. Discounts/premiums on debt securities purchased are accreted/amortized over the life of the respective securities using the effective interest method. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-
dividend date. Dividends received from MLPs & REITs generally are comprised of ordinary income, capital gains, and may include return of capital. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Other non-cash dividends are recognized as
investment income at the fair value of the property received. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Trust’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates.
|
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS April 30, 2024 (Unaudited) (Continued)
|
E.
|
Distributions to Shareholders. Distributions to shareholders from net investment income and net realized gains on securities for the Funds are normally declared and
paid on an annual basis. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
|
|
F.
|
Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
|
|
G.
|
Share Valuation. The net asset value (“NAV”) per share of the Funds are calculated by dividing the sum of the value of the securities held by the Funds, plus cash or
other assets, minus all liabilities (including estimated accrued expenses) by the total number of shares outstanding for the Funds, rounded to the nearest cent. The Funds’ shares will not be priced on the days on which the New York Stock
Exchange is closed for trading.
|
|
H.
|
Guarantees and Indemnifications. In the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses.
The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Funds expect the risk of loss to be remote.
|
|
I.
|
Illiquid Securities. Pursuant to Rule 22e-4 under the 1940 Act, the Funds have adopted a Board approved liquidity risk management program (the “program”) that requires,
among other things, that the Funds limit their illiquid investments that are assets to no more than 15% of net assets. An illiquid investment is any investment that each Fund reasonably expects cannot be sold or disposed of in current market
conditions in seven calendar days or less without the sale or disposition significantly changing the market value of the investment.
