(b) All or a portion of this security has been loaned.

Note 1. Investment Valuation

 

The Fund's investments are carried at fair value which is defined as the price that the Fund would receive upon selling an investment in a timely transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market of the investment.  The three-tier hierarchy of inputs established to classify fair value measurements for disclosure purposes is summarized in the three broad levels listed below.

 

Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

 

Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates,

prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.)

 

Level 3 - significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions in determining fair value of

investments)

 

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in these securities.  For more information about the Fund's policy regarding valuation of investments and other significant accounting policies, please refer to the Fund's most recent financial statements contained in its annual report.  The following is a summary of the inputs used to value each of the Fund's investments at January 31, 2019:    

 

       
     Level 1   Level 2 
Common stocks & MLP interest $3,285,402,742                          -
Bonds                                -         $451,580,051
Short-Term Investment                              - 131,784,125
     Total   $3,285,402,742 $583,364,176
       

 

There were no Level 3 priced securities held and there were no transfers into or out of Level 3.

 

 

Other information regarding the Fund is available on the Fund's website at www.dpimc.com/dnp or the Securities and Exchange Commission's website at www.sec.gov.

 

 

Item 2.    Controls and Procedures.

 

(a)The registrant’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that the registrant’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 30a-3(c) under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”)) are effective, based on an evaluation of those controls and procedures made as of a date within 90 days of the filing date of this report as required by Rule 30a-3(b) under the 1940 Act and Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

 

(b)There has been no change in the registrant’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 30a-3(d) under the 1940 Act) that occurred during the registrant’s last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the registrant’s internal control over financial reporting.

 

 

Item 3.    Exhibits.

 

Exhibit 99.CERT Certifications pursuant to Rule 30a-2(a) under the 1940 Act and Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002
