G.

Responses to Questions

In responding to the items on this Form, the following guidelines apply unless
otherwise specifically indicated:
•

A fund is required to respond to every item of this form. If an item requests
information that is not applicable, for example, an LEI for a counterparty that
does not have an LEI, respond N/A;

•

If an item requests the name of an entity, provide the full name to the extent
known, and do not use abbreviations (other than abbreviations that are part of the
full name);

•

If an item requests information expressed as a percentage, enter the response as a
percentage (not a decimal), rounded to the nearest hundredth of one percent
(e.g., 5.27%);

•

If an item requests a monetary value, report the amount rounded to the nearest
hundredth (e.g., if U.S. dollars, round to the nearest penny);

•

For currencies other than U.S. dollars, also report the applicable three-letter
alphabetic currency code pursuant to the International Organization for
Standardization (“ISO”) 4217 standard;

•

If an item requests a unique identifier, such an identifier may be internally
generated by the fund or provided by a third party, but should be consistently
used across the fund’s filings for reporting that investment so that the
Commission, investors, and other users of the information can track the
investment from report to report;

•

If an item requests a numerical value other than a percentage or a dollar value,
provide information rounded to the nearest hundredth;

•

If an item requests a date, provide information in mm/dd/yyyy format; and

•

If an item requests information regarding a “holding” or “investment,” separately
report information as to each holding or investment that is recorded in the Fund’s
books as part of a larger transaction. For example, two or more partially
offsetting legs of a transaction entered into with the same counterparty under a
common master agreement shall each be separately reported.
H.

Signature and Filing of Report

If the report is filed in paper pursuant to a hardship exemption from electronic
filing (see Item 201 et seq. of Regulation S-T (17 CFR 232.201 et seq.)), eight complete
copies of the report shall be filed with the Commission. At least one complete copy
of the report shall be filed with each exchange on which any class of securities of the
registrant is registered. At least one complete copy of the report filed with the

498

Commission and one such copy filed with each exchange must be manually signed.
Copies not manually signed must bear typed or printed signatures.
The report must be signed by the Registrant, and on behalf of the Registrant by
an authorized officer of the Registrant. The name of each person who signs the
report shall be typed or printed beneath his or her signature. See rule 302 of
Regulation S‑T [17 CFR 232.302] regarding signatures on forms filed electronically
and rule 8b-11 under the Act (17 CFR 270.8b-11) concerning signatures pursuant to
