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 spreads, 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 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, 2014:

 

      Level 1  

Common stocks & MLP interests

   $ 1,177,258,931   

Money market mutual fund

     3,886,869   
  

 

 

 

Total

   $ 1,181,145,800   
  

 

 

 

There were no Level 2 or Level 3 priced securities held and there were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 related to securities held at July 31, 2014.

Note 2. Federal Income Tax Information

At October 31, 2013, the Fund’s most recent fiscal tax year-end, the federal tax cost and aggregate gross unrealized appreciation (depreciation) were as follows:

 

   

Federal

Tax Cost

  Unrealized
Appreciation
  Unrealized
Depreciation
  Net Unrealized
Appreciation
(Depreciation)

Investments

  $920,505,570     $191,701,303   ($27,702,846)   $163,998,457

Written options

        (359,366)                    —          (129,546)         (129,546)

The difference between the book basis and tax basis of unrealized appreciation (depreciation) and cost of investments is primarily attributable to investments in Passive Foreign Investment Companies and MLP earnings and basis adjustments.
