Valuation of Investments
In computing the NexPoint Credit Strategies Fund’s (the “Fund”) net assets attributable to common shares, securities with readily available market quotations on the New York Stock Exchange, NASDAQ or other nationally recognized exchange, use the closing quotations on the respective exchange for valuation of those securities. Securities for which there are no readily available market quotations will be valued at the mean between the most recently quoted bid and ask prices provided by the principal market makers. If there is more than one such principal market maker, the value shall be the average of such means. Securities without a sale price or quotations from principal market makers on the valuation day may be priced by an independent pricing service. Generally, the Fund’s loan and bond positions are not traded on exchanges and consequently are valued based on a mean of the bid and ask price from the third-party pricing services or broker-dealer sources that NexPoint Advisors, L.P. (the “Investment Advisor”) has determined to generally have the capability to provide appropriate pricing services and have been approved by the Trustees.
Securities for which market quotations are not readily available, for which the Fund has determined the price received from a pricing service or broker-dealer is “stale” or otherwise does not represent fair value (such as when events materially affecting the value of securities occur between the time when market price is determined and calculation of the Fund’s net asset value), will be valued by the Fund at fair value, as determined by the Board or its designee in good faith in accordance with procedures approved by the Board, taking into account factors reasonably determined to be relevant, including: (i) the fundamental analytical data relating to the investment; (ii) the nature and duration of restrictions on disposition of the securities; and (iii) an evaluation of the forces that influence the market in which these securities are purchased and sold. In these cases, the Fund’s NAV will reflect the affected portfolio securities’ fair value as determined in the judgment of the Board or its designee instead of being determined by the market. Using a fair value pricing methodology to value securities may result in a value that is different from a security’s most recent sale price and from the prices used by other investment companies to calculate their NAV. Determination of fair value is uncertain because it involves subjective judgments and estimates.
There can be no assurance that the Fund’s valuation of a security will not differ from the amount that it realizes upon the sale of such security. Those differences could have a material impact to the Fund. Short-term debt investments, that is, those with a remaining maturity of 60 days or less, are valued at cost adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Repurchase agreements are valued at cost plus accrued interest. Foreign price quotations are converted to U.S. dollar equivalents using the 4:00 PM London Time Spot Rate.
Fair Value Measurements
The Fund has performed an analysis of all existing investments and derivative instruments to determine the significance and character of all inputs to their fair value determination. The levels of fair value inputs used to measure the Fund’s investments are characterized into a fair value hierarchy. Where inputs for an asset or liability fall into more than one level in the fair value hierarchy, the investment is classified in its entirety based on the lowest level input that is significant to that investment’s valuation. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
Level 1 — Quoted unadjusted prices for identical instruments in active markets to which the Fund has access at the date of measurement;
Level 2 — Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, but are valued based on executed trades; broker quotations that constitute an executable price; and alternative pricing sources supported by observable inputs are classified within Level 2. Level 2 inputs are either directly or indirectly observable for the asset in connection with market data at the measurement date; and
Level 3 — Model derived valuations in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable. In certain cases, investments classified within Level 3 may include securities for which the Fund has obtained indicative quotes from broker-dealers that do not necessarily represent prices the broker may be willing to trade on, as such quotes can be subject to material management judgment. Unobservable inputs are those inputs that reflect the Fund’s own assumptions that market participants would use to price the asset or liability based on the best available information.
| NOTES TO INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO (unaudited) (continued) | ||
| As of March 31, 2013 | NexPoint Credit Strategies Fund | |
The Investment Adviser has established policies, as described above and approved by the Board, to ensure that valuation methodologies for investments and financial instruments that are categorized within all levels of the fair value hierarchy are fair and consistent. A Pricing Committee has been established to provide oversight of the valuation policies, processes and procedures, and is comprised of personnel from the Investment Adviser. The Pricing Committee meets monthly to review the proposed valuations for investments and financial instruments and is responsible for evaluating the overall fairness and consistent application of those policies.
As of March 31, 2013, the Fund’s investments consisted of senior loans, corporate notes and bonds, asset-backed securities, common stock, preferred stock, exchange traded funds and warrants. The fair value of the Fund’s loans, bonds and asset-backed securities are generally based on quotes received from brokers or independent pricing services. Loans, bonds and asset-backed securities with quotes that are based on actual trades with a sufficient level of activity on or near the measurement date are classified as Level 2 assets. Loans, bonds and asset-backed securities that are priced using quotes derived from implied values, indicative bids, or a limited number of actual trades are classified as Level 3 assets because the inputs used by the brokers and pricing services to derive the values are not readily observable.
The fair value of the Fund’s common stocks, preferred stocks and warrants that are not actively traded on national exchanges are generally priced using quotes derived from implied values, indicative bids, or a limited amount of actual trades and are classified as Level 3 assets because the inputs used by the brokers and pricing services to derive the values are not readily observable.
At the end of each calendar quarter, management evaluates the Level 2 and 3 assets and liabilities for changes in liquidity, including but not limited to: whether a broker is willing to execute at the quoted price, the depth and consistency of prices from third party services, and the existence of contemporaneous, observable trades in the market. Additionally, management evaluates the Level 1 and 2 assets and liabilities on a quarterly basis for changes in listings or delistings on national exchanges.
Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of investments that do not have a readily available market value, the fair value of the Fund’s investments may fluctuate from period to period. Additionally, the fair value of investments may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market existed for such investments and may differ materially from the values the Fund may ultimately realize. Further, such investments may be subject to legal and other restrictions on resale or otherwise less liquid than publicly traded securities.
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. Transfers in and out of the levels are recognized at the value at the end of the period. A summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s assets as of March 31, 2013 is as follows:
| Total value at March 31, 2013 |

For the three months ended March 31, 2013, total change in unrealized gain/(loss) on Level 3 securities still held at period end and included in the change in net assets was $701,764. The Fund presents these unrealized gains on the Statement of Operations as net change in unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) on investments.
Investments designated as Level 3 may include assets valued using quotes or indications furnished by brokers which are based on models or estimates and may not be executable prices. In light of the developing market conditions, the Investment Adviser continues to search for observable data points and evaluate broker quotes and indications received for portfolio investments. As a result, for the three months ended March 31, 2013, a net amount of $8,965,395 of the Fund’s portfolio investments were transferred between Level 2 and Level 3. Determination of fair values is uncertain because it involves subjective judgments and estimates that are unobservable. Transfers between Level 2 and Level 3 were due to management’s assessment of observable and unobservable inputs for valuing the assets.

For the three months ended March 31, 2013, a net amount of $3,433 of the Fund’s portfolio investments was transferred between Level 1 and Level 2. Transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 were due to management’s assessment of quoted prices for assets in active markets.

The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Fund’s debt investments are discount rates and liquidity discounts. Significant increases or decreases in either of those inputs in isolation would result in a significantly lower or higher fair value measurement.
The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the reporting entity’s common stock investments are discount rates and scenario probabilities. Significant changes in either of those inputs in isolation would result in a significantly lower or higher fair value measurement.
Derivative Transactions
The Fund entered into derivative transactions for the purpose of hedging against the effects of changes in the value of portfolio securities due to anticipated changes in market conditions, to gain market exposure for residual and accumulating cash positions, and for managing the duration of fixed-income investments.
Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts
In order to minimize the movement in NAV resulting from a decline or appreciation in the value of a particular foreign currency against the U.S. dollar or another foreign currency or for other reasons, the Fund is authorized to enter into forward currency exchange contracts. These contracts involve an obligation to purchase or sell a specified currency at a future date at a price set at the time of the contract. Forward currency contracts do not eliminate fluctuations in the values of portfolio securities but rather allow the Fund to establish a rate of exchange for a future point in time. Forwards involve counterparty credit risk to the Fund because the forwards are not exchange-traded, and there is no clearinghouse to guarantee forwards against default. As of March 31, 2013, the open notional value of the Fund’s forward currency exchange contracts were EUR 4,615,000 and during the three months ended March 31, 2013, the closed notional value was EUR 4,615,000.
Options
The Fund may utilize options on securities or indexes to varying degrees as part of their principal investment strategy. An option on a security is a contract that gives the holder of the option, in return for a premium, the right to buy from (in the case of a call) or sell to (in the case of a put) the writer of the option the security underlying the option at a specified exercise or “strike” price. The writer of an option on a security has the obligation upon exercise of the option to deliver the underlying security upon payment of the exercise price or to pay the exercise price upon delivery of the underlying security. The Fund may hold options, write option contracts, or both.
If an option written by the Fund expires unexercised, the Fund realizes on the expiration date a capital gain equal to the premium received by the Fund at the time the option was written. If an option purchased by a Fund expires unexercised, the Fund realizes a capital loss equal to the premium paid. Prior to the earlier of exercise or expiration, an exchange-traded option may be closed out by an offsetting purchase or sale of an option of the same series (type, underlying security, exercise price and expiration). There can be no assurance, however, that a closing purchase or sale transaction can be effected when the Fund desires. The Fund will realize a capital gain from a closing purchase transaction if the cost of the closing option is less than the premium received from writing the option, or, if it is more, the Fund will realize a capital loss.
During the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Fund had covered written options to hedge against equity price movement of the related securities, which is consistent with the investment strategy of the Fund.
