The expected return on Plan assets assumption of
7.0%
was selected by the Trust based on historical real rates of return for the current asset mix and an assumption with respect to future inflation. The rate was determined based on a long-term allocation of about
two
-
thirds
fixed income and
one
-
third
equity securities; historical real rates of return of about
2.5%
and
8.5%
for fixed income and equity securities, respectively; and assuming a long-term inflation rate of
2.5%.
Ìý
The Plan has a formal investment policy statement. The Plan’s investment objective is balanced income, with a moderate risk tolerance. This objective emphasizes current income through a
30%
to
80%
allocation to fixed income securities, complemented by a
secondary
consideration for capital appreciation through an equity allocation in the range of
20%
to
60%.
Diversification is achieved through investment in mutual funds and bonds. The asset allocation is reviewed annually with respect to the target allocations and rebalancing adjustments and/or target allocation changes are made as appropriate. The Trust’s current funding policy is to maintain the Plan’s fully funded status on an ERISA minimum funding basis.
Ìý
Fair Value Measurements
Ìý
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
Ìý
The fair value accounting standards establish a fair value hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are those that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from independent sources. Unobservable inputs reflect our assumptions about the inputs market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The fair value hierarchy is categorized into
three
levels based on the inputs used in measuring fair value, as follows:
Ìý
Level
1
– Inputs are based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that we have the ability to access. Since inputs are based on quoted prices that are readily and regularly available in an active market, Level
1
inputs require the least judgment.
Ìý
Level
2
– Inputs are based on quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, or are observable either directly or indirectly. Inputs are obtained from various sources including financial institutions and brokers.
Ìý
Level
3
– Inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. The degree of judgment exercised by us in determining fair value is greatest for fair value measurements categorized in Level
3.

The fair values of plan assets by major asset category at
