(f) Fair value estimation<br />
The Funds classify fair value measurements of investments held using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used<br />
in making the measurements. The fair value hierarchy has the following levels:<br />
Level 1 — quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities<br />
Level 2 — inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (prices) or<br />
indirectly (derived from prices)<br />
Level 3 — inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs)<br />
The determination of what constitutes “observable” requires significant judgment by the Manager. The Manager considers observable data<br />
to be market data that is readily available, regularly distributed or updated, reliable and verifiable, not proprietary, and provided by<br />
independent sources that are actively involved in the relevant market. Financial instruments that trade in markets that are not considered to<br />
be active but are valued based on quoted market prices, dealer quotations or alternative pricing sources supported by observable inputs<br />
are classified within Level 2. Investments classified within Level 3 have significant unobservable inputs, as they trade infrequently. These<br />
may include private equity and corporate debt securities. As observable prices are not available for these securities, the Manager has used<br />
valuation techniques to derive the fair value.<br />
The following tables show the classification of the Funds’ financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value as at December 31, 2012<br />
and 2011.<br />
