The Trust invests primarily in debt securities issued by California municipalities. The ability of the issuers of the debt securities to meet their obligations may be affected by economic developments in a specific industry or municipality. In order to reduce the risk associated with such economic developments, at August 31, 2013, 32.9% of total investments are backed by bond insurance of various financial institutions and financial guaranty assurance agencies. The aggregate percentage insured by an individual financial institution or financial guaranty assurance agency ranged from 0.4% to 14.9% of total investments.

 

(1) Security represents the municipal bond held by a trust that issues residual interest bonds.

At August 31, 2013, the Trust had sufficient cash and/or securities to cover commitments under these contracts.

The Trust is subject to interest rate risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objective. Because the Trust holds fixed-rate bonds, the value of these bonds may decrease if interest rates rise. The Trust purchases and sells U.S. Treasury futures contracts to hedge against changes in interest rates.

At August 31, 2013, the aggregate fair value of open derivative instruments (not considered to be hedging instruments for accounting disclosure purposes) in a liability position and whose primary underlying risk exposure is interest rate risk was $26,176.

The cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments of the Trust at August 31, 2013, as determined on a federal income tax basis, were as follows:

Under generally accepted accounting principles for fair value measurements, a three-tier hierarchy to prioritize the assumptions, referred to as inputs, is used in valuation techniques to measure fair value. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized in the three broad levels listed below.

 

 

Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical investments

 

 

Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)

 

 

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

In cases where the inputs used to measure fair value fall in different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level disclosed is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

At August 31, 2013, the hierarchy of inputs used in valuing the Trust’s investments and open derivative instruments, which are carried at value, were as follows:

 

Asset Description    Level 1     Level 2      Level 3      Total  

Tax-Exempt Investments

   $      $     145,640,228       $     —       $     145,640,228   

Total Investments

   $      $ 145,640,228       $       $ 145,640,228

Total

   $     (26,176   $       $       $ (26,176

The Trust held no investments or other financial instruments as of November 30, 2012 whose fair value was determined using Level 3 inputs. At August 31, 2013, there were no investments transferred between Level 1 and Level 2 during the fiscal year to date then ended.
