Equity securities listed on an exchange are valued at the last reported sale price on the primary exchange on which they are traded. Equity securities traded on an exchange or other over-the-counter market and for which there are no transactions on a given day are valued at the mean of the closing bid and ask prices. Securities traded on NASDAQ are valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price. Debt securities are valued by independent pricing services or dealers using the mean of the closing bid and ask prices for such securities or, if such prices are not available, at prices for securities of comparable maturity, quality and type. If sufficient market activity is limited or does not exist, the pricing providers or broker-dealers may utilize proprietary valuation models which consider market characteristics such as benchmark yield curves, option-adjusted spreads, credit spreads, estimated default rates, coupon rates, anticipated timing of principal repayments, underlying collateral, or other unique security features in order to estimate relevant cash flows, which are then discounted to calculate a security’s fair value. Exchange-traded funds and listed closed-end funds are valued at the last sale price or official closing price on the exchange where the security is principally traded. Swaps are valued daily by independent pricing services or dealers using the mid price. Forward exchange currency contracts are valued daily at current exchange rates. Futures contracts are valued using the settlement price established each day on the exchange on which they are traded. Exchange-traded options are valued at the closing price, if traded that day. If not traded, they are valued at the mean of the bid and ask prices on the primary exchange on which they are traded. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. The Fund values money market funds at net asset value.
|
|||
The Board of Trustees of the Fund (“Board”) has adopted Valuation Procedures (the “Procedures”) to establish the method by which the portfolio securities of the Fund will be valued in accordance with the Investment Company Act of 1940 and the rules and regulations thereunder. The Board has delegated the day-to-day responsibility for the valuation of the Fund’s portfolio securities to Advent Capital Management, LLC, in its capacity as the investment adviser or investment manager to the Fund (the “Adviser”). The Adviser is required to make valuation determinations in accordance with the Procedures acting through its valuation committee (the “Committee”). Among other things, the Committee will determine in good faith the fair value of Fund portfolio securities for which market quotations are not readily available in accordance with the Procedures. The Procedures state that the current fair value of a portfolio security is the amount which the Fund might reasonably expect to receive upon the current sale of the security when both the buyer and the seller have no compulsion to buy or sell and both parties have reasonable knowledge of the relevant facts. Information about the Committee’s fair value determinations is presented to the Board on a quarterly basis.
|
|||
Valuations in accordance with these procedures are intended to reflect each security’s (or asset’s) fair value. Such fair value is the amount that the Fund might reasonably expect to receive for the security (or asset) upon its current sale. Each such determination is based on a consideration of all relevant factors, which are likely to vary from one security to another. Examples of such factors may include, but are not limited to: (i) the type of security, (ii) the initial cost of the security, (iii) the existence of any contractual restrictions on the security’s disposition, (iv) the price and extent of public trading in similar securities of the issuer or of comparable companies, (v) quotations or evaluated prices from broker-dealers and/or pricing services, (vi) information obtained from the issuer, analysts, and/or the appropriate stock exchange (for exchange traded securities), (vii) an analysis of the company’s financial statements, and (viii) an evaluation of the forces that influence the issuer and the market(s) in which the security is purchased and sold (e.g. the existence of pending merger activity, public offerings or tender offers that might affect the value of the security).

GAAP requires disclosure of fair valuation measurements as of each measurement date. In compliance with GAAP, the Fund follows a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) and the Fund’s own market assumptions (unobservable inputs). These inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments and summarized in the following fair value hierarchy:
|
|||
Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical securities;
|
|||
|
|||
Level 2 - quoted prices in inactive markets or other significant observable inputs (e.g. quoted prices for
|
|||
similar securities; interest rates; prepayment speed; credit risk; yield curves);
|
|||
|
|||
Level 3 - significant unobservable inputs (e.g. discounted cash flow analysis; non-market based methods used
|
|||
to determine fair value).
|
|||
Observable inputs are those based upon market data obtained from independent sources, and unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions based on the best information available. A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input both individually and in aggregate that is significant to the fair value measurement. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
|
|||
The following are certain inputs and techniques that are generally utilized to evaluate how to classify each major type of
|
|||
investment in accordance with GAAP.
|
|||
Equity Securities (Common and Preferred Stock) – Equity securities traded in active markets where market quotations are readily available are categorized as Level 1. Equity securities traded in inactive markets and certain foreign equities are valued using inputs which include broker quotes, prices of securities closely related where the security held is not trading but the related security is trading, and evaluated price quotes received from independent pricing providers. To the extent that these inputs are observable, such securities are categorized as Level 2. To the extent that these inputs are unobservable, such securities are categorized as Level 3.
|
|||
Convertible Bonds & Notes – Convertible bonds and notes are valued by independent pricing providers who employ matrix pricing models utilizing various inputs such as market prices, broker quotes, prices of securities with comparable maturities and qualities, and closing prices of corresponding underlying securities. To the extent that these inputs are observable, such securities are categorized as Level 2. To the extent that these inputs are unobservable, such securities are categorized as Level 3.
|
|||
Corporate Bonds & Notes – Corporate bonds and notes are valued by independent pricing providers who employ matrix pricing models utilizing various inputs such as market prices, broker quotes, prices of securities with comparable maturities and qualities and closing prices of corresponding underlying securities. To the extent that these inputs are observable, such securities are categorized as Level 2. To the extent that these inputs are unobservable, such securities are categorized as Level 3.
|
|||
Transfers between levels, if any, are in comparison to the valuation levels at the end of the previous fiscal year, and are effective using the fair value as of the end of the current fiscal period.
