Significant Accounting Policies
               
 
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation
 
 
of these schedules of investments. These policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the
 
 
United States of America (“GAAP”).
               
                   
Investment Valuation
               
 
Each security owned by the Funds that is listed on a securities exchange is valued at its last sale price on that exchange
 
 
on the date as of which assets are valued. When the security is listed on more than one exchange, the Funds will
 
 
use the price of the exchange that the Funds generally consider to be the principal exchange on which the security is traded.
 
Fund securities listed on the NASDAQ Stock Market, Inc. (“NASDAQ”) will be valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price (“NOCP”),
 
which may not necessarily represent the last sale price. If the NOCP is not available, such securities shall be valued at the last sale price on
 
the day of valuation. If there has been no sale on such exchange or on NASDAQ on such day, the security is
 
 
valued at the mean between the bid and asked prices on such day. Debt securities other than short-term instruments are valued at the mean between
 
the closing bid and asked prices provided by a pricing service (a “Pricing Service”). If the closing bid and asked prices are not readily available, the
 
Pricing Service may provide a price determined by a matrix pricing method or other analytical pricing models. Short-term debt securities, such as commercial
 
paper, bankers acceptances and U.S. Treasury Bills, having a maturity of less than 60 days are valued at amortized cost. If a short-term debt security has a
 
maturity of greater than 60 days, it is valued at market price. Any discount or premium is accreted or amortized on a straight-line basis until maturity.
 
When market quotations are not readily available, any security or other financial instrument is valued at its fair value as determined under procedures approved
 
by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. These fair value procedures will also be used to price a security when corporate events, events in the securities market and/or
 
world events cause the Adviser to believe that a security’s last sale price may not reflect its actual market value. The intended effect of using fair value pricing
 
procedures is to ensure that the Funds are accurately priced.
               
                   
 
The Valuation Committee of the Trust shall meet to consider any valuations. This consideration includes reviewing
 
 
various factors set forth in the pricing procedures adopted by the Board of Directors and other factors as warranted.
 
 
In considering a fair value determination, factors that may be considered, among others include; the type and structure
 
 
of the security; unsual events or circumstances relating to the security's issuer; general market conditions; prior day's
 
 
valuation; fundamental analytical data; size of the holding; cost of the security on the date of purchase; trading activity
 
 
and prices of similar securities or financial instruments.
               
                   
 
The Fund has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”
 
 
(“Fair Value Measurements”) and FASB Staff Position “Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of
 
 
Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions that are Not Orderly”
 
 
(“Determining Fair Value”). Determining Fair Value clarifies Fair Value Measurements and requires an entity to
 
 
evaluate certain factors to determine whether there has been a significant decrease in volume and level of
 
 
activity for the security such that recent transactions and quoted prices may not be determinative of fair value
 
 
and further analysis and adjustment may be necessary to estimate fair value. Determining Fair Value also
 
 
requires enhanced disclosure regarding the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value in those
 
 
instances as well as expanded disclosure of valuation levels for major security types. Fair Value Measurements
 
 
requires the Fund to classify its securities based on valuation method. These inputs are summarized in the three
 
 
broad levels listed below:
               
                   
 
 
 

 
 
Other
                       
Investment transactions are recorded on the trade date. The Funds determine the gain or loss from investment transactions
 
using the best tax relief order. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date and interest income is
       
recognized on an accrual basis.
                       
                         
Summary of Fair Value Exposure at November 30, 2014.
                       
                         
Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. These inputs are
                   
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 risk, etc.)
                       
Level 3 - Significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in
                   
  determining the fair value of investments.)
                       
                         
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not an indication of the risk associated
             
with investing in those securities.
                       
                         
The following is a summary of the inputs used, as of November 30, 2014, in valuing the Fund’s investments carried at fair value:
 
                         
   
Level 1
   
Level 2
   
Level 3

The Fund held no Level 3 securities during the period ended November 30, 2014.
                         
The Fund measures Level 3 activity as of the beginning and end of the fiscal period. For the period ended November 30, 2014 the
 
Fund did not have significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 securities) used in determining fair value. Therefore, a reconciliation of assets in
 
which significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) were used in determining fair value is not applicable.
                 
                                 
Transfers between Levels are recognized as of the beginning and end of the fiscal year. There were no transfers between Levels during the period ended November 30, 2014.
 
                                 
Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
                               
                                 
The Fund did not invest in derivative securities or engage in hedging activities during the period ended November 30, 2014.

Significant Accounting Policies
               
 
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation
 
 
of these schedules of investments. These policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the
 
 
United States of America (“GAAP”).
               
                   
Investment Valuation
               
 
Each security owned by the Funds that is listed on a securities exchange is valued at its last sale price on that exchange
 
 
on the date as of which assets are valued. When the security is listed on more than one exchange, the Funds will
 
 
use the price of the exchange that the Funds generally consider to be the principal exchange on which the security is traded.
 
 
Fund securities listed on the NASDAQ Stock Market, Inc. (“NASDAQ”) will be valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price (“NOCP”),
 
 which may not necessarily represent the last sale price. If the NOCP is not available, such securities shall be valued at the last sale price on
               
 
the day of valuation. If there has been no sale on such exchange or on NASDAQ on such day, the security is
 
 
valued at the mean between the bid and asked prices on such day. Debt securities other than short-term instruments are valued at the mean between
 
the closing bid and asked prices provided by a pricing service (a “Pricing Service”). If the closing bid and asked prices are not readily available, the
 
Pricing Service may provide a price determined by a matrix pricing method or other analytical pricing models. Short-term debt securities, such as commercial
 
paper, bankers acceptances and U.S. Treasury Bills, having a maturity of less than 60 days are valued at amortized cost. If a short-term debt security has a
 
maturity of greater than 60 days, it is valued at market price. Any discount or premium is accreted or amortized on a straight-line basis until maturity.
 
When market quotations are not readily available, any security or other financial instrument is valued at its fair value as determined under procedures approved
 
by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. These fair value procedures will also be used to price a security when corporate events, events in the securities market and/or
 
world events cause the Adviser to believe that a security’s last sale price may not reflect its actual market value. The intended effect of using fair value pricing
 
procedures is to ensure that the Funds are accurately priced.
               
                   
 
The Valuation Committee of the Trust shall meet to consider any valuations. This consideration includes reviewing
 
 
various factors set forth in the pricing procedures adopted by the Board of Directors and other factors as warranted.
 
 
In considering a fair value determination, factors that may be considered, among others include; the type and structure
 
 
of the security; unsual events or circumstances relating to the security's issuer; general market conditions; prior day's
 
 
valuation; fundamental analytical data; size of the holding; cost of the security on the date of purchase; trading activity
 
 
and prices of similar securities or financial instruments.
               
                   
 
The Fund has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”
 
 
(“Fair Value Measurements”) and FASB Staff Position “Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of
 
 
Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions that are Not Orderly”
 
 
(“Determining Fair Value”). Determining Fair Value clarifies Fair Value Measurements and requires an entity to
 
 
evaluate certain factors to determine whether there has been a significant decrease in volume and level of
       
 
activity for the security such that recent transactions and quoted prices may not be determinative of fair value
 
 
and further analysis and adjustment may be necessary to estimate fair value. Determining Fair Value also
       
 
requires enhanced disclosure regarding the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value in those
 
 
instances as well as expanded disclosure of valuation levels for major security types. Fair Value Measurements
 
 
requires the Fund to classify its securities based on valuation method. These inputs are summarized in the three
 
 
broad levels listed below:
               
                   
Other
               
 
Investment transactions are recorded on the trade date. The Funds determine the gain or loss from investment transactions
 
 
using the best tax relief order. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date and interest income is
       
 
recognized on an accrual basis.
               
                   
Summary of Fair Value Exposure at November 30, 2014.
               
                   
Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. These inputs are
         
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 risk, etc.)
               
 
Level 3 - Significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in
         
 
  determining the fair value of investments.)
               
                   
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not an indication of the risk associated
       
with investing in those securities.
               
                   
 
 
 

 
 
The following is a summary of the inputs used, as of November 30, 2014, in valuing the Fund’s investments carried at fair value:
       
                         
   
Level 1
   
Level 2

The Fund held no Level 3 securities during the period ended November 30, 2014.
                         
The Fund measures Level 3 activity as of the beginning and end of the fiscal period. For the period ended November 30, 2014 the
         
Fund did not have significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 securities) used in determining fair value. Therefore, a reconciliation of assets in
 
which significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) were used in determining fair value is not applicable.
                 
                                 
Transfers between Levels are recognized as of the beginning and end of the fiscal year. There were no transfers between Levels during the period ended November 30, 2014.
 
                                 
Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
                               
                                 
The Fund did not invest in derivative securities or engage in hedging activities during the period ended November 30, 2014.
