*Total investments are estimated as of July 31,
2021, and represent the value of the Fund’s total investments as of
June 30, 2021, plus the estimated net change in unrealized
appreciation/depreciation and actual realized gains/losses on
publicly traded and private securities since June 30, 2021. For the
purposes of calculating the percentage of estimated total
investments represented by each investment, the value of each
holding is determined by either: (1) the purchase price, (2) the
market value for public securities, less any discounts taken due to
restrictions on the stock, or (3) the June 30, 2021, fair value of
each security, as determined under procedures approved by our Board
of Directors. The estimated total investments figure does not
reflect net asset value because actual and estimated liabilities
(such as estimated tax liabilities and performance fees, accrued
vendor service fees and other liabilities) are not deducted.
