The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in preparation of its financial statements.  The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S.A. (“GAAP”).  

Security Valuation – Securities listed on an exchange are valued at the last reported sale price at the close of the regular trading session of the exchange on the business day the value is being determined, or in the case of securities listed on NASDAQ at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price (“NOCP”).  In the absence of a sale such securities shall be valued at the last bid price on the day of valuation.  Debt securities (other than short-term obligations) are valued each day by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) using methods which include current market quotations from a major market maker in the securities and based on methods which include the consideration of yields or prices of securities of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type.  Short-term debt obligations having 60 days or less remaining until maturity, at time of purchase, are valued at amortized cost.

If market quotations are not readily available or if the Advisor believes the market quotations are not reflective of market value, securities will be valued at their fair market value as determined in good faith by the Trust’s Fair Value Committee and in accordance with the Trust’s Portfolio Securities Valuation Procedures (the “Procedures”). The Board will review the fair value method in use for securities requiring a fair market value determination at least quarterly.  The Procedures consider, among others, the following factors to determine a security’s fair value: the nature and pricing history (if any) of the security; whether any dealer quotations for the security are available; and possible valuation methodologies that could be used to determine the fair value of the security.

A Fund may hold securities, such as private placements, interests in commodity pools, other non-traded securities or temporarily illiquid securities, for which market quotations are not readily available or are determined to be unreliable.  These securities will be valued at their fair market value as determined using the “fair value” procedures approved by the Board.  The Board has delegated execution of these procedures to a fair value team composed of one or more officers from each of the (i) Trust, (ii) administrator, and (iii) adviser and/or sub-adviser.  The team may also enlist third party consultants such as an audit firm or financial officer of a security issuer on an as-needed basis to assist in determining a security-specific fair value.  The Board reviews and ratifies the execution of this proces and the resultant fair value prices at least quarterly to assure the process produces reliable results.

Fair Value Team and Valuation Process .  This team is composed of one or more officers from each of the (i) Trust, (ii) administrator, and (iii) adviser and/or sub-adviser.  The applicable investments are valued collectively via inputs from each of these groups.  For example, fair value determinations are required for the following securities:  (i) securities for which market quotations are insufficient or not readily available on a particular business day (including securities for which there is a short and temporary lapse in the provision of a price by the regular pricing source), (ii) securities for which, in the judgment of the adviser or sub-adviser, the prices or values available do not represent the fair value of the instrument.  Factors which may cause the adviser or sub-adviser to make such a judgment include, but are not limited to, the following: only a bid price or an asked price is available; the spread between bid and asked prices is substantial; the frequency of sales; the thinness of the market; the size of reported trades; and actions of the securities markets, such as the suspension or limitation of trading; (iii) securities determined to be illiquid; (iv) securities with respect to which an event that will affect the value thereof has occurred (a “significant event”) since the closing prices were established on the principal exchange on which they are traded, but prior to a Fund’s calculation of its net asset value.  Specifically, interests in commodity pools or managed futures pools are valued on a daily basis by reference to the closing market prices of each futures contract or other asset held by a pool, as adjusted for pool expenses.  Restricted or illiquid securities, such as private placements or non-traded securities are valued via inputs from the adviser or sub-adviser based upon the current bid for the security from two or more independent dealers or other parties reasonably familiar with the facts and circumstances of the security (who should take into consideration all relevant factors as may be appropriate under the circumstances).  If the adviser or sub-adviser is unable to obtain a current bid from such independent dealers or other independent parties, the fair value team shall determine the fair value of such security using the following factors: (i) the type of security; (ii) the cost at date of purchase; (iii) the size and nature of the Fund's holdings; (iv) the discount from market value of unrestricted securities of the same class at the time of purchase and subsequent thereto; (v) information as to any transactions or offers with respect to the security; (vi) the nature and duration of restrictions on disposition of the security and the existence of any registration rights; (vii) how the yield of the security compares to similar securities of companies of similar or equal creditworthiness; (viii) the level of recent trades of similar or comparable securities; (ix) the liquidity characteristics of the security; (x) current market conditions; and (xi) the market value of any securities into which the security is convertible or exchangeable.

The Fund utilizes various methods to measure the fair value of its investments on a recurring basis.  GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation methods. The three levels of input are:

Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that the Fund has the ability to access.

Level 2 – Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.  These inputs may include quoted prices for the identical instrument on an inactive market, prices for similar instruments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, default rates and similar data.

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, to the extent relevant observable inputs are not available, representing the Fund’s own assumptions about the assumptions a market participate would use in valuing the asset or liability, and would be based on the best information available.

The availability of observable inputs can vary from security to security and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of security, whether the security is new and not yet established in the marketplace, the liquidity of markets, and other characteristics particular to the security. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment.  Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3.

The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy.  In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls in its entirety, 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.  The following tables summarize the inputs used as of June 30, 2013 for the Fund’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value:

The Fund did not hold any Level 3 securities during the period.

There were no transfers into or out of Level 1 and Level 2 during the current period presented.  It is the Fund’s policy to record transfers in to or out of Level 1 and 2 at the end of the reporting period.

MMFS Fund Ltd. (MMFS-CFC) – The Consolidated Portfolio of Investments of the Fund include MMFS-CFC, a wholly-owned and controlled subsidiary.   All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The Fund may invest up to 25% of its total assets in a controlled foreign corporation (“CFC”), which acts as an investment vehicle in order to effect certain investments consistent with the Fund’s investment objectives and policies.

 

 

 

 

 

 

MMFS-CFC, through its investments in managed futures programs, utilizes commodity based derivative products to facilitate the Fund's pursuit of its investment objective.   In accordance with its investment objective and through its exposure to the aforementioned commodity based derivative products, the Fund may have increased or decreased exposure to one or more of the risk factors defined in the Principal Investment Risks section of the Fund's Prospectus.   


A summary of the Fund’s investments in the MMFS-CFC is as follows:

[NQMAKEFIELD002.GIF]


For tax purposes, MMFS is an exempted Cayman investment company.  MMFS has received an undertaking from the Government of the Cayman Islands exempting it from all local income, profits and capital gains taxes.  No such taxes are levied in the Cayman Islands at the present time.  For U.S. income tax purposes, MMFS is a Controlled Foreign Corporation and as such is not subject to U.S. income tax.  However, as a wholly-owned Controlled Foreign Corporation, MMFS’s net income and capital gain, to the extent of its earnings and profits, will be included each year in the Fund’s investment company taxable income.
