9(1)The Central Board shall value each Investment Fund [F1and each class of Shares therein] on such dates, approximately half-yearly, as it may determine and may value an Investment Fund on [F1and each class of Shares therein] any other dates if it shall think fit to do so. The Central Board shall notify [F2the frequency of valuation dates] to the Holders of Shares in the Investment Fund [F3concerned].

(2)The following provisions shall apply to any valuation made for the purposes of this Schedule of an Investment Fund [F4or of either class of Share therein] or of any assets contributed to or withdrawn from an Investment Fund:—

In the case of investments quoted on more than one Stock Exchange the expression “the relevant Stock Exchange” means for this purpose such Stock Exchange as the Central Board may consider to be the most appropriate;

(b)All assets other than investments quoted on a Stock Exchange shall be taken at such value as may be determined on each occasion by the Central Board; and for this purpose the Central Board shall be entitled at its discretion to obtain and to accept a valuation of any asset made by a professional valuer accountant stockbroker or other person considered by the Central Board to be qualified to make such valuation or to treat the cost of acquisition of any asset as the value thereof or to make such estimates of value as they may consider appropriate;

(c)Fractions of one pound may be disregarded or rounded off to the nearest one pound.
