Notes to Schedule of Portfolio Investments (Unaudited)
Valuation of Investments
Portfolio securities are valued by various methods depending on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. Most equity securities for which the primary markets is the United States are valued at the official closing price, last sale price or, if no sale has occurred, at the closing bid price. Most equity securities for which the primary market is outside the United States are valued using the official closing price or the last sale price in the principal market in which they are traded. If the last sale price on the local exchange is unavailable, the last evaluated quote or closing bid price normally is used. Debt obligations with remaining maturities of 60 days or less are valued at cost adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Certain of the securities in which the Company may invest are priced through pricing services that may utilize a matrix pricing system which takes into consideration factors such as yields, prices, maturities, call features, and ratings on comparable securities. Bonds may be valued according to prices quoted by a bond dealer that offers pricing services. Open end investment companies are valued at their net asset value. Foreign securities markets may be open on days when U.S. markets are closed. For this reason, the value of any foreign securities owned by the Company could change on a day when stockholders cannot buy or sell shares of the Company. Securities for which quotations are not readily available or reliable and other assets may be valued as determined in good faith by the Company’s Valuation Committee (“VC”) under the direction of or pursuant to procedures established by the Company’s Board of Directors, called “fair value pricing.” Due to the inherent uncertainty of valuation, fair value pricing values may differ from the values that would have been used had a readily available market for the securities existed. These differences in valuation could be material. A security’s valuation may differ depending on the method used for determining value. The use of fair value pricing by the Company may cause the net asset value of its shares to differ from the net asset value that would be calculated using market prices. A fair value is an estimate and there is no assurance that such price will be at or close to the price at which a security is next quoted or next trades.
Fair Value Measurements
Inputs to valuation methods are prioritized by a three level hierarchy as follows:
●
|
Level 1 – unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities including securities actively traded on a securities exchange.
|
●
|
Level 2 – observable inputs other than quoted prices included in level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability which may include quoted 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 including the Company’s own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability.
|
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 investments categorized in level 3.
The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, 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 inputs or methodology used for valuing investments are not an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
The following is a description of the valuation techniques applied to the Company’s major categories of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis:
Equity securities (common and preferred stock) - Equity securities traded on a national securities exchange or market generally are stated normally at the official closing price, last sales price or, if no sale has occurred, at the closing bid price on the day of valuation. To the extent these securities are actively traded and valuation adjustments are not applied, they may be categorized in level 1. Preferred stock and other equities on inactive markets or valued by reference to similar instruments may be categorized in level 2.
Restricted and/or illiquid securities - Restricted and/or illiquid securities for which quotations are not readily available or reliable may be valued as determined in good faith by the VC under the direction of or pursuant to procedures established by the Company's Board of Directors. Restricted securities issued by publicly traded companies are generally valued at a discount to similar publicly traded securities. Restricted or illiquid securities issued by nonpublic entities may be valued by reference to comparable public entities or fundamental data relating to the issuer or both or similar inputs. Depending on the relative significance of valuation inputs, these instruments may be classified in either level 2 or level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
The following is a summary of the inputs used as of March 31, 2013 in valuing the Company’s assets carried at fair value. Refer to the Schedule of Portfolio Investments for detailed information on specific investments.

There were no securities transferred from level 1 on December 31, 2012 to level 2 on March 31, 2013. Transfers from level 1 to level 2, or from level 2 to level 1 are valued utilizing values at the beginning of the period.

There were no transfers into or out of level 3 assets during the period.
The VC under the direction of the Company’s Board of Directors considers various valuation approaches for valuing securities categorized within level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The factors used in determining the value of the Company’s private investments may include, but are not limited to, the discounts applied to the selection of comparable investments due to the private nature of the investment; the type of the security; the size of the holding; the initial cost of the security; the existence of any contractual restrictions on the security's disposition; the price and extent of public trading in similar securities of the issuer or of comparable companies; quotations or evaluated prices from broker-dealers and/or pricing services; information obtained from the issuer or analysts; an analysis of the company's or issuer's financial statements; or an evaluation of the forces that influence the issuer and the market in which the security is purchased and sold. Significant changes in any of those inputs in isolation would result in a significantly lower or higher fair value measurement. The pricing of all fair value holdings is subsequently reported to the Company’s Board of Directors.
