Notes to Schedule of Investments (unaudited)
1. Organization and significant accounting policies
Western Asset Municipal Partners Fund Inc. (the “Fund”) was incorporated in Maryland on November 24, 1992 and is registered as a diversified, closed-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The Board of Directors authorized 100 million shares of $0.001 par value common stock.
The Fund’s primary investment objective is to seek a high level of current income which is exempt from regular federal income taxes, consistent with the preservation of capital. As a secondary investment objective, the Fund intends to enhance
portfolio value by purchasing tax-exempt securities that, in the opinion of the investment manager, may appreciate in value relative to other similar obligations in the marketplace.
Under normal market conditions, the Fund pursues its objectives by investing substantially all of its assets in a diversified portfolio of tax-exempt securities. As a matter of fundamental policy which cannot be changed without shareholder approval, under normal market conditions at least 80% of the Fund’s net assets will be invested in tax-exempt securities. The Fund invests primarily in tax-exempt securities that are rated “investment grade” at the time of purchase by at least one rating agency
and that the subadviser believes do not involve undue risk to income or principal or, if unrated, determined to be of comparable credit quality by the subadviser, but the Fund may invest up to 20% of its net assets in securities rated below
“investment grade” (commonly known as “high yield” or “junk” bonds) at the time of purchase. For credit ratings purposes, pre-refunded bonds are deemed to be unrated. The
subadviser determines the credit quality of pre-refunded bonds based on the quality of the escrowed collateral and such other factors as the subadviser deems appropriate.
The Fund follows the accounting and reporting guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946,
Financial Services – Investment Companies (“ASC 946”). The following are significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund and are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles
(“GAAP”), including, but not limited to, ASC 946.
(a) Investment valuation. The valuations for fixed income securities (which may
include, but are not limited to, corporate, government, municipal, mortgage-backed, collateralized mortgage obligations and asset-backed securities) and certain derivative instruments are typically the prices supplied by independent third party
pricing services, which may use market prices or broker/dealer quotations or a variety of valuation techniques and methodologies. The independent third party pricing services typically use inputs that are observable such as issuer details, interest
rates, yield curves, prepayment speeds, credit risks/spreads, default rates and quoted prices for similar securities. Investments in open-end funds are valued at the closing net asset value per share of each
fund on the day of valuation. If independent third party pricing services are unable to supply prices for a portfolio investment, or if the prices supplied are deemed by the manager to be unreliable, the market price may be determined by the manager
using quotations from one or more
Notes to Schedule of Investments (unaudited) (cont’d)
broker/dealers or at the transaction price if the security has recently been purchased
and no value has yet been obtained from a pricing service or pricing broker. When reliable prices are not readily available, such as when the value of a security has been significantly affected by events after the close of the exchange or market on
which the security is principally traded, but before the Fund calculates its net asset value, the Fund values these securities as determined in accordance with procedures approved by the Fund’s Board of Directors.
Pursuant to policies adopted by the Board of Directors, the Fund’s manager has been designated as the valuation designee and is responsible for the
oversight of the daily valuation process. The Fund’s manager is assisted by the Global Fund Valuation Committee (the “Valuation Committee”). The Valuation Committee is responsible for making fair value determinations, evaluating the
effectiveness of the Fund’s pricing policies, and reporting to the Fund’s manager and the Board of Directors. When determining the reliability of third party pricing information for investments owned by the Fund, the Valuation Committee,
among other things, conducts due diligence reviews of pricing vendors, monitors the daily change in prices and reviews transactions among market participants.
The Valuation Committee will consider pricing methodologies it deems relevant and appropriate when making fair value determinations. Examples of possible
methodologies include, but are not limited to, multiple of earnings; discount from market of a similar freely traded security; discounted cash-flow analysis; book value or a multiple thereof; risk premium/yield analysis; yield to maturity; and/or
fundamental investment analysis. The Valuation Committee will also consider factors it deems relevant and appropriate in light of the facts and circumstances. Examples of possible factors include, but are not limited to, the type of security; the
issuer’s financial statements; the purchase price of the security; the discount from market value of unrestricted securities of the same class at the time of purchase; analysts’ research and observations from financial institutions;
information regarding any transactions or offers with respect to the security; the existence of merger proposals or tender offers affecting the security; the price and extent of public trading in similar securities of the issuer or comparable
companies; and the existence of a shelf registration for restricted securities.
For each portfolio security that has been fair valued pursuant to the
policies adopted by the Board of Directors, the fair value price is compared against the last available and next available market quotations. The Valuation Committee reviews the results of such back testing monthly and fair valuation occurrences are
reported to the Board of Directors quarterly.
The Fund uses valuation techniques to measure fair value that are consistent with the market approach
and/or income approach, depending on the type of security and the particular circumstance. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable securities. The income
approach uses valuation techniques to discount estimated future cash flows to present value.
Notes to Schedule of Investments (unaudited) (cont’d)
GAAP establishes a disclosure hierarchy that categorizes the inputs to valuation
techniques used to value assets and liabilities at measurement date. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
| |
• |
|
Level 1 – unadjusted 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 the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the
fair value of investments) |
The inputs or methodologies used to value securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk
associated with investing in those securities.
The following is a summary of the inputs used in valuing the Fund’s assets carried at fair value:
