PJSC:
Public
Joint

Company
For
purposes
of
its
industry
concentration
policy,
the
Fund
classifies
issuers
of
portfolio
securities
at
the
industry
sub-
group
level.
Certain
of
the
categories
in
the
above
Schedule
of
Investments
consist
of
multiple
industry
sub-groups
or
industries.
The
United
States,
the
European
Union,
the
United
Kingdom
and
other
countries
have
imposed
sanctions
on
Russia,
Russian
companies,
and
Russian
individuals
in
response
to
actions
taken
by
Russia
in
recent
years,
including
its
February
2022
invasion
of
Ukraine
and
subsequent
activities.
In
turn
Russia
has
imposed
sanctions
on
Western
individuals,
businesses
and
products,
and
the
Russian
central
bank
has
taken
actions
that
have
effectively
frozen
investments
by
Western
entities,
including
the
Fund,
in
Russian
companies.
These
s
anctions
have
adversely
affected
not
only
the
Russian
economy
but
also
the
economies
of
many
countries
in
Europe,
including
countries
in
Central
and
Eastern
Europe,
and
the
continuation
of
sanctions,
or
the
imposition
of
new
sanctions,
may
have
further
adverse
effects
on
the
Russian
and
European
economies.
As
a
result
of
Russia’s
invasion
of
Ukraine
and
the
resulting
dislocations,
Wes
tern
sanctions
and
Russia’s
retaliatory
measures,
the
value
and
liquidity
of
the
Fund’s
portfolio
assets
have
been
severely
adversely
affected,
and
its
Russian
investments
(some
of
which
are
in
companies
that
are
subject
to
sanctions)
have
been
fair
valued
at
zero
since
March
14,
2022
.
It
is
not
known
if
the
situation
will
improve
,
although
the
Fund
has
observed
occasional
privately
negotiated
transactions
in
depositary
receipts
of
non-sanctioned
Russian
issuers
taking
place
(at
prices
that
are
deeply
discounted
from
those
taking
place
through
the
facilities
of
the
Moscow
Stock
Exchange).
In
May
2024,
the
Fund
was
successful
in
selling
depositary
receipts
of
one
non-sanctioned
Russian
issuer
in
such
a
privately
negotiated
transaction
resulting
in
positive
impact
to
the
Fund's
net
asset
value.
War,
terrorism,
sanctions,
economic
uncertainty,
trade
disputes,
public
health
crises,
natural
disasters,
climate
change
and
related
geopolitical
events
have
led
and,
in
the
future,
may
lead
to
significant
disruptions
in
U.S.
and
world
economies
and
markets,
which
may
lead
to
increased
market
volatility
and
may
have
significant
adverse
effects
on
the
Fund
and
its
investments.
In
the
case
of
the
Fund,
Russia’s
invasion
of
Ukraine
has
materially
adversely
affected,
and
may
continue
to
materially
adversely
affect,
the
value
and
liquidity
of
the
Fund’s
portfolio.
Fair
Value
Measurements
Various
inputs
are
used
in
determining
the
value
of
the
Fund’s
investments.
These
inputs
are
summarized
in
three
broad
levels.
Level
1
includes
quoted
prices
in
active
markets
for
identical
securities.
Level
2
includes
other
significant
observable
inputs
(including
quoted
prices
for
similar
securities,
interest
rates,
prepayment
speeds
and
credit
risk).
Level
3
includes
significant
unobservable
inputs
(including
the
Fund’s
own
assumptions
in
determining
the
fair
value
of
investments).
The
level
assigned
to
the
securities
valuations
may
not
be
an
indication
of
the
risk
associated
with
investing
in
those
securities.
The
following
is
a
summary
of
the
inputs
used
as
of
July
31,
2024
in
valuing
the
Fund’s
investments.
(e)
See
Schedule
of
Investments
for
additional
detailed
categorizations
.
During
the
period
ended
July
31,
2024,
the
amount
of
transfers
between
Level
3
and
Level
1
was
$210,938.
The
investments
were
transferred
from
Level
3
to
Level
1
due
to
increase
in
market
activity.
Transfers
between
price
levels
are
recognized
at
the
beginning
of
the
reporting
period.

objectives,

before

The

CLOSED-END
FUNDS
The
shares
of
most
closed-end
funds,
including
the
Fund,
are
not
continuously
offered.
Once
issued,
shares
of
closed-end
funds
are
bought
and
sold
in
the
open
market.
Shares
of
closed-end
funds
frequently
trade
at
a
discount
to
net
asset
value.
The
price
of
the
fund’s
shares
is
determined
by
a
number
of
factors,
several
of
which
are
beyond
the
control
of
the
fund.
Therefore,
the
fund
cannot
predict
whether
its
shares
will
trade
at,
below
or
above
net
asset
value.
