1All or a portion of these securities were pledged as collateral in connection with the revolving credit agreement at March 31, 2016. Total market value of pledged securities at March 31, 2016, was $75,372,372.2 Non-income producing. 3At March 31, 2016, a portion of these securities were rehypothecated in connection with the Funds revolving credit agreement in the aggregate amount of $19,495,530.4These securities are defined as Level 2 securities due to fair value being based on quoted prices for similar securities.5A security for which market quotations are not readily available represents 0.1% of net assets. This security has been valued at its fair value under procedures approved by the Funds Board of Directors. This security is defined as a Level 3 security due to the use of significant unobservable inputs in the determination of fair value.6Includes securities first acquired in 2016 and less than 1% of net assets.TAX INFORMATION: The cost of total investments for Federal income tax purposes was $356,189,490. At March 31, 2016, net unrealized depreciation for all securities was $2,988,723, consisting of aggregate gross unrealized appreciation of $58,775,810 and aggregate gross unrealized depreciation of $61,764,533. The primary difference between book and tax basis cost is the timing of the recognition of losses on securities sold.
Valuation of Investments:
Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Securities are valued as of the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time) on the valuation date. Securities that trade on an exchange, and securities traded on Nasdaqs Electronic Bulletin Board, are valued at their last reported sales price or Nasdaq official closing price taken from the primary market in which each security trades or, if no sale is reported for such day, at their highest bid price. Other over-the-counter securities for which market quotations are readily available are valued at their highest bid price, except in the case of some bonds and other fixed income securities which may be valued by reference to other securities with comparable ratings, interest rates and maturities, using established independent pricing services. The Fund values its non-U.S. dollar denominated securities in U.S. dollars daily at the prevailing foreign currency exchange rates as quoted by a major bank. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at their fair value in accordance with the provisions of the 1940 Act, under procedures approved by the Funds Board of Directors, and are reported as Level 3 securities. As a general principle, the fair value of a security is the amount which the Fund might reasonably expect to receive for the security upon its current sale. However, in light of the judgment involved in fair valuations, there can be no assurance that a fair value assigned to a particular security will be the amount which the Fund might be able to receive upon its current sale. In addition, if, between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, events occur that are significant and may make the closing price unreliable, the Fund may fair value the security. The Fund uses an independent pricing service to provide fair value estimates for relevant non-U.S. equity securities on days when the U.S. market volatility exceeds a certain threshold. This pricing service uses proprietary correlations it has developed between the movement of prices of non-U.S. equity securities and indices of U.S.-traded securities, futures contracts and other indications to estimate the fair value of relevant non-U.S. securities. When fair value pricing is employed, the prices of securities used by the Fund may differ from quoted or published prices for the same security. Investments in money market funds are valued at net asset value per share.Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Funds investments, as noted above. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels below:Level 1 quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.Level 2 other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, foreign securities that may be fair valued and repurchase agreements). The table below includes all Level 2 securities. Level 2 securities with values based on quoted prices for similar securities are noted in the Schedule of Investments.Level 3 significant unobservable inputs (including last trade price before trading was suspended, or at a discount thereto for lack of marketability or otherwise, market price information regarding other securities, information received from the company and/or published documents, including SEC filings and financial statements, or other publicly available information).The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Funds investments as of March 31, 2016. For a detailed breakout of common stocks by sector classification, please refer to the Schedule of Investments.
Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Common Stocks $317,323,229 $7,770,292 $225,738 $325,319,259 Preferred Stocks 1,577,508 1,577,508 Cash Equivalents 26,304,000 26,304,000For the three months ended March 31, 2016, certain securities have transferred in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 measurements. The Fund recognizes transfers between levels as of the end of the reporting period. At March 31, 2016, securities valued at $15,968,750 were transferred from Level 2 to Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy.Level 3 Reconciliation:
Unrealized Balance as of 12/31/15 Gain (Loss) Balance as of 3/31/16 Common Stocks $225,738 $ $225,738The following table summarizes the valuation techniques used and unobservable inputs approved by the Valuation Committee to determine the fair value of certain, material Level 3 investments. The table does not include Level 3 investments with values derived utilizing prices from prior transactions or third party pricing information with adjustments (e.g. broker quotes, pricing services, net asset values).

1This column represents the directional change in the fair value of the Level 3 investments that would result in an increase from the corresponding unobservable input. A decrease to the unobservable input would have the opposite effect. Significant increases and decreases in these unobservable inputs in isolation could result in significantly higher or lower fair value measurements.Repurchase Agreements:
The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements with institutions that the Funds investment adviser has determined are creditworthy. The Fund restricts repurchase agreements to maturities of no more than seven days. Securities pledged as collateral for repurchase agreements, which are held until maturity of the repurchase agreements, are marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest). Repurchase agreements could involve certain risks in the event of default or insolvency of the counter-party, including possible delays or restrictions upon the ability of the Fund to dispose of its underlying securities. The remaining contractual maturity of the repurchase agreement held by the Fund at March 31, 2016 is overnight and continuous.Borrowings:
The Fund has entered into a revolving credit agreement (the credit agreement) with BNP Paribas Prime Brokerage Inc. (BNPP). As of March 31, 2016, the Fund has outstanding borrowings of $45,000,000. During the period ended March 31, 2016, the Fund borrowed an average daily balance of $45,000,000. The Fund pays a commitment fee of 0.50% per annum on the unused portion of the credit agreement. The credit agreement has a 360-day rolling term that resets daily; however, if the Fund exceeds certain net asset value triggers, the credit agreement may convert to a 60-day rolling term that resets daily. The Fund is required to pledge portfolio securities as collateral in an amount up to two times the loan balance outstanding and has granted a security interest in the securities pledged to, and in favor of, BNPP as security for the loan balance outstanding. If the Fund fails to meet certain requirements, or maintain other financial covenants required under the credit agreement, the Fund may be required to repay immediately, in part or in full, the loan balance outstanding under the credit agreement necessitating the sale of portfolio securities at potentially inopportune times. The credit agreement also permits, subject to certain conditions, BNPP to rehypothecate portfolio securities pledged by the Fund up to the amount of the loan balance outstanding. The Fund continues to receive payments in lieu of dividends and interest on rehypothecated securities. The Fund also has the right under the credit agreement to recall the rehypothecated securities from BNPP on demand. If BNPP fails to deliver the recalled security in a timely manner, the Fund is compensated by BNPP for any fees or losses related to the failed delivery or, in the event a recalled security is not returned by BNPP, the Fund, upon notice to BNPP, may reduce the loan balance outstanding by the amount of the recalled security failed to be returned. The Fund receives a portion of the fees earned by BNPP in connection with the rehypothecation of portfolio securities.Other information regarding the Fund is available in the Funds most recent Report to Stockholders. This information is available through The Royce Funds (www.roycefunds.com) and on the Securities and Exchange Commissions website (www.sec.gov).
