inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or
liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or
similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other
than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as
interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss
severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated
inputs) |

inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the
extent observable inputs are not available (including the Trust’s own
assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments) |
