Restricted and Illiquid Securities

A restricted security cannot be resold to the general public without prior registration under the Securities Act of 1933 (except pursuant to an applicable exemption).The values of these securities may be highly volatile. If the security is subsequently registered and resold, the issuer would typically bear the expense of all registrations at no cost to a Fund. Restricted and illiquid securities are valued according to the guidelines and procedures adopted by the Trust’s Board of Trustees and are noted, if any, in the Funds’ Schedule of Investments.

Affiliated Issuers

If a Fund owns 5% or more of the outstanding voting shares of an issuer, the Fund’s investment represents an investment in an affiliated person as defined by the 1940 Act. A summary of the Funds with transactions in the securities of affiliated issuers for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, is listed below:

Fair Value Measurements

In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Codification Topic 820 (“ASC Topic 820”), fair value is defined as the price that the Funds would receive upon selling an investment in an “arm’s length” transaction to a willing buyer in the principal or most advantageous market for the investment. ASC Topic 820 established a hierarchy for classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best information available in the circumstances. The hierarchy of inputs is summarized in the three broad levels listed below.


Table of Contents
 

Level 1 — unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical investments

 

 

Level 2 — inputs other than unadjusted quoted prices that are observable either directly or indirectly (including adjusted quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.)

 

 

Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

Inputs may include price information, volatility statistics, specific and broad credit data, liquidity statistics, and other factors. A security’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. However, the determination of what constitutes “observable” requires significant judgment by the Trust. The Trust considers observable data to be that market data which is readily available, regularly distributed or updated, reliable and verifiable, and provided by independent sources that are actively involved in the relevant market. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers into or out of an investment’s assigned level within the hierarchy.

The FASB requires reporting entities to make disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements of Level 3 securities on a gross basis. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, RS Emerging Markets Small Cap Fund held one security classified as Level 3.

The Funds’ policy is to recognize transfers between Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 at the end of the reporting period. Transfers between Levels 1 and 2 related to certain exchange-traded foreign securities whose prices may have been affected by events occurring after the close of trading on the exchange and, as a result, whose value were determined by a pricing service using pricing models in accordance with methods approved by the Funds’ Board of Trustees. Transfers into and out of each level of the fair value hierarchy for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 were as follows:

 

     Transfers

     Transfers

In determining a security’s placement within the hierarchy, the Trust separates the Funds’ investment portfolios into two categories: investments and derivatives (e.g., futures).

Investments Investments whose values are based on quoted market prices in active markets, and are therefore classified within Level 1, include active listed equities.

Investments that trade in markets that are not considered to be active, but are valued based on quoted market prices, dealer quotations or alternative pricing sources supported by observable inputs are classified within Level 2. These include certain U.S. government and sovereign obligations, most government agency securities, investment-grade corporate bonds, certain mortgage products, state, municipal and provincial obligations, and certain foreign equity securities, including securities whose prices may have been affected by events occurring after the close of trading on their principal exchange or market and, as a result, whose values are determined by a pricing service as described above, or securities whose values are otherwise determined using fair valuation methods approved by the Funds’ Board of Trustees.

Investments classified within Level 3 have significant unobservable inputs, as they trade infrequently or not at all. Level 3 investments include, among others, private placement securities. When observable prices are not available for these securities, the Trust uses one or more valuation techniques for which sufficient and reliable data is available. The inputs used by the Trust in estimating the value of Level 3 investments include, for example, the original transaction price, recent transactions in the same or similar instruments, completed or pending third-party transactions in the underlying investment or comparable issuers, subsequent rounds of financing, recapitalizations, and other transactions across the capital structure. Level 3 investments may also be adjusted to reflect illiquidity and/or non-transferability, with the amount of such discount estimated by the Trust in the absence of market information. Assumptions used by the Trust due to the lack of observable inputs may significantly impact the resulting fair value and therefore the Funds’ results of operations.

Derivatives Exchange-traded derivatives, such as futures contracts and exchange traded option contracts, are typically classified within Level 1 or Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy depending on whether or not they are deemed to be actively traded. Certain derivatives, such as generic forwards, swaps and options, have inputs which can generally be corroborated by market data and are therefore classified within Level 2.
