The Fund may finance the purchase of certain investments through sell / buy-back agreements, which are similar to repurchase agreements. In a sell / buy-back agreement, the Fund enters into a trade to sell an investment and contemporaneously enters into a trade to buy the same investment back on a specified date in the future with the same counterparty. The Fund uses sell/buy-back agreements as a short-term financing with terms generally 90 days or less. Under U.S. GAAP, the Fund treats its sell/buy-back agreements as secured borrowings and continues to present the investment as an asset and the obligation to return the cash received as a liability on the consolidated statement of assets and liabilities. The amount borrowed is generally equal to the cost of the assets pledged. Interest income earned on investments pledged as collateral and financing charges associated with the sell / buy-back agreements are included within interest income and interest and financing expenses, respectively, on the consolidated statement of operations. Accrued interest receivable on investments and accrued financing charges on the sell / buy-back agreements are included within interest receivable and interest payable, respectively, on the consolidated statement of assets and liabilities.
