NOTES TO SCHEDULE OF INVESTMENTS

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Ironwood Multi-Strategy Fund LLC (the “Fund”) invests substantially all of its assets through a master-feeder structure in the Master Fund.

The Fund and the Master Fund are investment companies as described in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946, Financial Services-Investment Companies (“ASC 946”), which defines investment companies and prescribes specialized accounting and reporting requirements for investment companies. The Fund and the Master Fund follow the accounting and reporting guidance in ASC 946.

ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”), provides for the use of net asset value (or its equivalent) as a practical expedient to estimate fair value of investments in investment funds, provided certain criteria are met. Accordingly, the Master Fund values its investments in investment funds at fair value, which is an amount equal to the sum of the Master Fund’s proportionate interests in the investment funds, as determined from financial information provided by the respective administrators or investment managers of the investment funds. These fair values represent the amounts the Master Fund would receive if it were able to liquidate its investments in the investment funds as of the measurement date, prior to any early withdrawal charges, if applicable. Some values received are estimates, subject to subsequent revision by the respective administrators or investment managers. Values received are generally net of management fees and incentive fees or allocations payable to the investment funds’ investment managers pursuant to the investment funds’ operating agreements. The investment funds value their underlying investments in accordance with policies established by each investment fund, as described in each of their financial statements or offering memoranda.

The investment funds hold positions in readily marketable investments and derivatives that are valued at quoted market values and/or less liquid non-marketable investments and derivatives that are valued at estimated fair value. The mix and concentration of more readily marketable investments and less liquid non-marketable investments varies across the investment funds based on various factors, including the nature of their investment strategy. The Master Fund’s investments in investment funds are subject to the terms and conditions of the respective operating agreements and offering memoranda.

Ironwood Capital Management (the “Adviser”) has designed ongoing due diligence processes with respect to investment funds, their administrators, and their investment managers. The Adviser assesses the quality of information provided and determines whether such information continues to be reliable or whether further investigation is necessary. Such investigation, as applicable, may require the Adviser to forego its normal reliance on the value provided and to independently determine the fair value of the Master Fund’s interest in the investment fund.

The Adviser has designated a committee to oversee the valuation of the Master Fund’s investments (the “Valuation Committee”). The Valuation Committee is comprised of senior personnel, the majority of whom are separate from the Master Fund’s portfolio management team, and is responsible for developing written valuation policies and procedures, conducting periodic reviews of those policies and procedures, and evaluating the overall fairness and consistent application of the valuation policies and procedures. The Valuation Committee meets on a quarterly basis or more frequently as needed.

 


If no value is readily available from an investment fund or if a value supplied by an investment fund is deemed by the Valuation Committee not to be indicative of its fair value, the Valuation Committee would determine, in good faith, the fair value of the investment fund under procedures adopted by the Board and subject to Board oversight. Because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation, the fair values of the investment funds held by the Master Fund may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for the investment funds been available. As of and for the quarter ended July 31, 2021, all investments in investment funds were valued using the values provided by the investment funds or their administrators.

Short-term investments consist of investments in money market funds. These investments are valued at their respective net asset value per share and are categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy, as defined in ASC 820.

In accordance with U.S. GAAP, investments in investment funds that are valued at net asset value as a practical expedient are not required to be included in the fair value hierarchy. All investments in investment funds were valued at their respective net asset value as of July 31, 2021 and are excluded from the fair value hierarchy.

As of July 31, 2021, less than 0.01% of the Master Fund’s net assets were invested in investment funds that do not have set redemption timeframes but are liquidating investments and making distributions as underlying investments are sold. Additionally, approximately 6.41% of the Master Fund’s net assets were invested in designated private investments maintained by the investment funds or in term vehicles, which do not have set redemption timeframes. The timing of when these investments will be liquidated is unknown.

As of July 31, 2021, the Master Fund had unfunded capital commitments to investment funds of $115,666,067.

The following is a summary of the investment strategies of the investment funds held by the Master Fund as of July 31, 2021.

Relative value strategies attempt to capture pricing anomalies between assets that for all economic purposes are identical. Relative value strategies capture these inefficiencies by utilizing a combination of assets including bonds, stocks, swaps, options, exchange traded funds, currencies, futures, etc. One such strategy is capital structure arbitrage which involves the purchase and short sale of different classes of securities of the same issuer where there is a relative mispricing between two classes of securities. An example of this strategy is the purchase of undervalued senior secured debt and the short sale of overvalued subordinated unsecured debt or common equity. Other examples of relative value strategies include fixed income arbitrage, relative value interest rates, convertible bond arbitrage, relative value energy, and quantitative strategies. Generally, investment funds within this strategy require a 30 to 90 day notice period to redeem at the next available redemption date.


Market neutral and low net equity strategies involve the purchase of a stock or basket of stocks that is relatively underpriced as well as selling short a stock or basket of stocks that is relatively overpriced. Depending on the manager’s investment strategy, the determination of whether a stock is overpriced or underpriced can be made through fundamental analysis (a fundamental strategy) or by complex statistical models that examine numerous factors that affect the price of a stock (a quantitative strategy). The Adviser will utilize equity managers that target well-hedged and low net exposures and/or use a balanced approach to investing, i.e., they are short approximately the same dollar value of stocks they are long. Generally, investment funds within this strategy require a 45 to 90 day notice period to redeem at the next available redemption date.

Event-driven strategies involve the assessment of how, when, and if specific transactions will be completed and the effect on corporations and financial assets. A common event-driven strategy is merger arbitrage (also called risk arbitrage). This involves the purchase of the stock of a target company involved in a potential merger and, in the case of a stock-for-stock offer, the short sale of the stock of the acquiring company. The target company’s stock would typically trade at a discount to the offer price due to the uncertainty of the completion of the transaction. The positions may be reversed if the manager feels the acquisition may not close. This strategy aims to capture the spread between the value of the security at the close of the transaction and its discounted value at the time of purchase. Other examples of event-driven strategies and opportunities include corporate restructurings, spin-offs, operational turnarounds, activism, asset sales, and liquidations. Generally, investment funds within this strategy require a 60 to 90 day notice period to redeem at the next available redemption date.

Distressed strategies involve the purchase or short sale of debt or equity securities of issuers experiencing financial distress. These securities may be attractive because of the market’s inaccurate assessment of the issuer’s future potential or the values and timing of recoveries. Managers may obtain voting rights or control blocks and actively participate in the bankruptcy or reorganization process while other investors may remain passive investors. Examples of distressed securities trades include bankruptcies, liquidations, post-restructured equities, structured credit, and balance sheet restructurings. Credit strategies involve a variety of strategies intended to exploit inefficiencies in the high-yield and related credit markets. Generally, investment funds within these strategies require a 120 day notice period to redeem at the next available redemption date.
