Fair Value Measurement

Accounting Standards Codification, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”) defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and requires disclosure about fair value measurements. It also provides guidance on determining when there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for an asset or liability, when a transaction is not orderly, and how that information must be incorporated into fair value measurement. Under ASC 820, various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in the following hierarchy:

  Level 1 — Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or 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 securities, 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 participant 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. With respect to the valuation of Level 3 securities, IndexIQ Advisors LLC (the “Advisor”) may employ a market-based valuation approach which may use related or comparable securities, recent transactions, market multiples, book values, and other relevant information to determine fair value. IndexIQ may also use an income-based valuation approach in which anticipated future cash flows of the financial instrument are discounted to calculate fair value. IndexIQ representatives meet regularly to review and discuss the appropriateness of such fair values using more current information such as, recent security news, recent market transactions, updated corporate action information and/or other macro or security specific events.

All other securities and investments for which market values are not readily available, including restricted securities, and those securities for which it is inappropriate to determine prices in accordance with the aforementioned procedures, are valued at fair value as determined in good faith under procedures adopted by the Board, although the actual calculations may be done by others. Factors considered in making this determination may include, but are not limited to, information obtained by contacting the issuer, analysts, or the appropriate stock exchange (for exchange-traded securities), analysis of the issuer’s financial statements or other available documents and, if necessary, available information concerning other securities in similar circumstances.

Transfers between levels, if any, are considered to have occurred at the beginning of the reporting period. There were no transfers into or out of any levels described above during the period ended January 31, 2014.

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. The following summarizes inputs used as of January 31, 2014 in valuing the Fund’s assets and liabilities carried at fair value:

    Level 1     Level 2     Level 3     Total  
Assets

* Please refer to the Schedule of Investments to view securities segregated by fund type.
