STATEMENT OF NET ASSETS — (Continued)

July 31, 2017

(Unaudited)

 

The percentage shown for each investment category is the total value of that category as a percentage of the net assets applicable to

common stock of the Fund.

Note 1. Investment Valuation    

The Fund’s investments are carried at fair value which is defined as the price that the Fund would receive upon selling an investment

in a timely transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market of the investment. The three-tier

hierarchy of inputs established to classify fair value measurements for disclosure purposes is summarized in the three broad levels

listed below.

 

Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.).
Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining fair value of investments).

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in these

securities. For more information about the Fund’s policy regarding the valuation of investments and other significant accounting

policies, please refer to the Fund’s most recent financial statements contained in its semi-annual report. The following is a summary of

the inputs used to value each of the Fund’s investments at July 31, 2017:

 

      Level 2

Municipal bonds

   $196,812,120

 

 

There were no Level 1 or Level 3 priced securities held at July 31, 2017.

Note 2. Federal Tax Cost

At October 31, 2016, the Fund’s most recent fiscal tax year-end, the federal tax cost of the Fund’s investments and the

aggregate gross unrealized appreciation (depreciation) were as follows:

 

Federal Tax Cost

  

Unrealized

Appreciation

  

Unrealized

Depreciation

  

Net
Unrealized
Appreciation

$185,955,921

   $15,613,376    $(360,117)    $15,253,259

The difference between the book basis and tax basis of unrealized appreciation (depreciation) and cost of investments is primarily

attributable to the difference between book and tax amortization methods for premiums and discounts on fixed income securities.

Other information regarding the Fund is available on the Fund’s website at www.dtffund.com or the Securities and Exchange

Commission’s website at www.sec.gov.

 


ITEM 2. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

(a) The registrant’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that the registrant’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 30a-3(c) under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”)) are effective, based on an evaluation of those controls and procedures made as of a date within 90 days of the filing date of this report as required by Rule 30a-3(b) under the 1940 Act and Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
