III.Justification for the Relief Requested
The circumstances leading to the request for relief arise from Infinity Q’s inability, as required under the Fund’s valuation procedures, to value certain Fund holdings and the Fund’s resulting inability to calculate net asset value (“NAV”).As disclosed in the Fund’s statement of additional information, in calculating the Fund’s NAV, any Fund holdings for which current and reliable market quotations are not readily available “are valued at their respective fair values as determined in good faith by [the] Adviser”1 under procedures approved and overseen by the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board”). The Fund’s current portfolio includes swap instruments (the “Swaps”) for which Infinity Q calculates fair value using models provided by a third-party pricing vendor.As of February 18, 2021, the Fund’s reported NAV was derived using a valuation for these Swaps that resulted in the value of the Swaps constituting approximately 18% of the Fund’s reported NAV.
On February 18, 2021, based on information learned by the Commission staff and shared with Infinity Q, Infinity Q informed the Fund that Infinity Q’s Chief Investment Officer had been adjusting certain parameters within the third-party pricing model that affected the valuation of the Swaps
like no big deal, the CIO was just literally making up numbers, whats the big woop anyway.
