Investment Securities Valuation - Investments traded on national securities exchanges or in the over-the-counter market that are National Market System securities are valued at the last sale price or, lacking any sales, at the mean between the last bid and asked prices. Other over-the-counter securities are valued at the most recent bid prices as obtained from one or more dealers that make markets in the securities. Publicly-traded investments for which market quotations are not readily available or whose quoted price may otherwise not reflect fair value are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Trustees of the Fund. The fair value of venture capital and other restricted securities is determined in good faith by the Trustees. However, because of the uncertainty of fair valuations these estimated values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for these securities existed, and the differences could be material. Each such fair value determination is based on a consideration of relevant factors. Factors the Trustees consider may include (i) the existence of any contractual restrictions on the disposition of securities; (ii) information obtained from the issuer which may include an analysis of the company’s financial condition, the company’s products or intended markets or the company’s technologies; and (iii) the price of a security negotiated at arm’s length in an issuer’s completed subsequent round of financing. Short-term investments with maturity of 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost.

Venture Capital and Other Restriced Securities - The following table details the acquisition date, cost, carrying value per unit, and value of the Fund’s venture capital and other restricted securities at June 30, 2007 as determined by the Trustees of the Fund. The Fund may invest up to 40% of its net assets in venture capital and other restricted securities. The values of these securities represent 17% of the Fund’s net assets at June 30, 2007. The Fund on its own does not have the right to demand that such securities be registered.
