The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds. These policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP").

SECURITY VALUATION: The values of the Funds' securities are based on the securities’ closing prices on their principal markets, where available. In the absence of a last reported sales price, values may be based on the mean between the last bid and ask prices, if available. For restricted securities, as well as securities or other assets for which market quotations are not readily available or are unreliable, those securities are to be valued at fair value using good faith estimates as determined in accordance with the Trust's Fund Securities Valuation Procedures, which is approved annually by the Board of Trustees (the "Board"). There is no single standard for determining the fair value of such securities. Rather, in determining the fair value of a security, the Fair Value Committee, after consulting with representatives of the Fund's Adviser, Renaissance Capital LLC (the "Advisor"), and/or the Fund's Administrator, State Street Bank and Trust, shall take into account the relevant factors and surrounding circumstances, a few of which may include: (i) market prices for a security or securities deemed comparable, including the frequency of trades or quotes for the security and comparable securities; (ii) dealer valuations of a security or securities deemed comparable; (iii) short-term instruments with maturities of 60 days or less at the date of the purchase are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value; short-term instruments with maturities greater than 60 days at the date of purchase are valued at the midpoint between the latest available and representative asked and bid prices, and commencing 60 days prior to maturity such securities are valued at amortized cost; and (iv) determinations of value by one or more pricing services for a security or securities deemed comparable. The Funds may also use fair value pricing in a variety of circumstances, including, but not limited to, situations where the value of a security in a Fund’s portfolio has been materially affected by events occurring after the close of the market on which the security is principally traded, or where trading in a security has been suspended or halted. Fair value pricing involves subjective judgments and it is possible that a fair value determination for a security is materially different than the value that could be realized upon the sale of the security. In addition, fair value pricing could result in a difference between the prices used to calculate the NAV of the Funds and the prices used by each of the Funds’ benchmark indices, the Renaissance IPO Index and the Renaissance International IPO Index, respectively (the “Indices”). This may adversely affect the Funds’ ability to track the Indices.

The Funds utilize various methods to measure the fair value of most of their 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 Funds have 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 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 Funds' 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 inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. At December 31, 2019, all of the Funds' investments were valued based on Level 1 inputs, except as noted and detailed on the Portfolio of Investments.

Transfers between investment levels may occur as the markets fluctuate and/or the availability of data used in an investment’s valuation changes.
