Cliffwater Corporate Lending Fund

Letter to Shareholders

March 31, 2023 (Unaudited)

To our shareholders:

We recently completed three and three-quarter years of operation and want to thank you for the continued trust you have placed in us. Performance has been consistently strong relative to our objective.

The Cliffwater Corporate Lending Fund (the “Fund”) produced a net 8.15% annualized return from its June 5, 2019 inception, through March 31, 2023. This compares to a 3.59% annualized return for the Morningstar LSTA US Leveraged Loan Index. The Fund also reported relatively consistent monthly returns. Its annualized standard deviation measured 2.08% for the same period compared to 8.02% for the Morningstar LSTA US Leveraged Loan Index.

The Fund experienced strong investor inflows over the trailing year, with net-asset-value growing from $6.7 billion on March 31, 2022, to $11.1 billion on March 31, 2023. This asset growth has been supported by significant investment in personnel and technology to grow our platform and the onboarding of additional strategic lending partners to access high quality senior corporate loans. Factors materially affecting the Fund’s performance during the most recently completed quarter include a high current cash yield, and few realized losses.

We remain confident in the Fund’s continued performance despite the uncertain economic environments brought by inflation and the Fed’s increase in interest rates. The Fund’s 10.6% net current yield remains attractive, and we believe that the floating rate nature of our loans should continue to react favorably in a rising interest rate economy.

We again sincerely thank you for your support.

Regards,

Stephen L. Nesbitt

Chief Investment Officer

Cliffwater LLC

The performance data shown represents past performance which does not guarantee future results. It is net of all fees. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted. All performance shown assumes reinvestment of dividends.

Important Disclosures

The Fund’s investment program is speculative and entails substantial risks. There can be no assurance that the Fund’s investment objectives will be achieved or that its investment program will be successful. Investors should consider the Fund as a supplement to an overall investment program and should invest only if they are willing to undertake the risks involved. Investors could lose some or all of their investment.

Shares are an illiquid investment.

We do not intend to list the Fund’s shares (“Shares”) on any securities exchange and we do not expect a secondary market in the Shares to develop.

You should generally not expect to be able to sell your Shares (other than through the limited repurchase process), regardless of how we perform.

Although we are required to implement a Share repurchase program, only a limited number of Shares will be eligible for repurchase by us.

You should consider that you may not have access to the money you invest for an indefinite period of time.

An investment in the Shares is not suitable for you if you have foreseeable need to access the money you invest.

Because you will be unable to sell your Shares or have them repurchased immediately, you will find it difficult to reduce your exposure on a timely basis during a market downturn.

The Fund is a non-diversified management investment company and may be more susceptible to any single economic or regulatory occurrence than a diversified investment company. Cybersecurity risks have significantly increased in recent years and the Fund could suffer such losses in the future. One of the fundamental risks associated with the Fund’s investments is the risk that an issuer will be unable to make principal and interest payments on its outstanding debt obligations when due. Other risk factors include interest rate risk (a rise in interest rates causes a decline in the value of debt securities) and prepayment risk (the debtor may pay its obligation early, reducing the amount of interest payments).

Fund Performance

March 31, 2023 (Unaudited)

This graph compares a hypothetical $10,000,000 investment in the Fund’s Class I Shares with a similar investment in the Morningstar LSTA US Leveraged Loans Index and Bloomberg US Aggregate Index. These indices do not serve as benchmarks for the Fund and are shown for illustrative purposes only. The Fund does not have a designated performance benchmark. Results include the reinvestment of all dividends and capital gains. These indices do not reflect expenses, fees, or sales charges, which would lower performance.

The Morningstar LSTA US Leveraged Loans Index (previously named S&P LSTA Leveraged Loans Index) is designed to deliver comprehensive, precise coverage of the US leveraged loan market. The Morningstar LSTA US Leveraged Loans Index is a market value weighted index tracking institutional leveraged loans in the United States based upon market weightings, spreads and interest payment, including Term Loan A, Term Loan B and Second Lien tranches. The Morningstar LSTA US Leveraged Loans Index is unmanaged and it is not available for investment.

The Bloomberg US Aggregate Index is a broad based, market capitalization-weighted bond market index representing intermediate term investment grade bonds traded in the United States. The index is unmanaged and it is not available for investment.

The performance data quoted here represents past performance and past performance is not a guarantee of future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance information quoted. The most recent quarter end performance may be obtained by calling 1 (888) 442-4420.

Effective March 6, 2023, the Fund terminated the Expense Limitation and Reimbursement Agreement. Prior to March 6, 2023, the Fund had entered into an expense limitation agreement that limits the Fund’s annualized ordinary fund-wide operating expenses to 2.25% through March 6, 2023 (the “Waiver”). Ordinary fund-wide operating expenses exclude any taxes, fees and interest payments on borrowed funds, distribution and servicing fees, brokerage and distribution costs and expenses, acquired fund fees and expenses, expenses incurred in connection with any merger or reorganization, and extraordinary or non-routine expenses, such as litigation expenses. Ordinary fund-wide operating expenses include, for the voidance of doubt, the Investment Management Fee and the Fund’s start-up, offering and organizational expenses. The performance quoted above reflects the Waiver in effect and would have been lower in its absence.

For the Fund’s current expense ratios, please refer to the Financial Highlights Section of this report.

Returns reflect the reinvestment of distributions made by the Fund, if any. The graph and the performance table above do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement whether due to error or fraud.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of March 31, 2023, by correspondence with the custodian, brokers, agent banks, and underlying fund administrators or managers; when replies were not received, we performed other auditing procedures. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

We have served as the Fund’s auditor since 2019.

Cliffwater Corporate Lending Fund

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

March 31, 2023

1. Organization

The Cliffwater Corporate Lending Fund (the “Fund”) is a Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), as a non-diversified, closed-end management investment company operating as an interval fund. The Fund operates under an Agreement and Declaration of Trust, as most recently amended and restated on September 15, 2021 (the “Declaration of Trust”). Cliffwater LLC serves as the investment adviser (the “Investment Manager”) of the Fund. The Investment Manager is an investment adviser registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended. The Fund intends to continue to qualify and has elected to be treated as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). The Fund commenced operations on March 6, 2019.

The SEC has granted the Fund exemptive relief permitting the Fund to offer multiple classes of shares. The Fund’s Registration Statement currently offers Class I Shares. Only Class I shares have been issued as of March 31, 2023.

The Fund’s primary investment objective is to seek consistent current income, while the Fund’s secondary objective is capital preservation. Under normal market conditions, the Fund seeks to achieve its investment objectives by investing at least 80% of its assets (net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in loans to companies (“corporate loans”). The Fund’s corporate loan investments are made through a combination of: (i) investing in loans to companies that are originated directly by a non-bank lender (for example, traditional direct lenders include asset management firms (on behalf of their investors), insurance companies, business development companies and specialty finance companies) (“direct loans”); (ii) investing in notes or other pass-through obligations representing the right to receive the principal and interest payments on a direct loan (or fractional portions thereof); (iii) purchasing asset-backed securities representing ownership or participation in a pool of direct loans; (iv) investing in companies and/or private investment funds (private funds that are excluded from the definition of “investment company” pursuant to Sections 3(c)(1) or 3(c)(7) of the Investment Company Act) that primarily hold direct loans (the foregoing investments listed in clauses (i) through (iv) are collectively referred to herein as the “Direct Loan Instruments”); (v) investments in high yield securities, including securities representing ownership or participation in a pool of such securities; (vi) investments in bank loans including securities representing ownership or participation in a pool of such loans; and (vii) SPVs and/or joint ventures that primarily hold loans or credit-like securities. The Fund may focus its investment strategy on, and its portfolio of investments may be focused in, a subset of one or more of these types of investments. The Fund’s investments in hedge funds and private equity funds that are excluded from the definition of “investment company” pursuant to Sections 3(c)(1) and 3(c)(7) of the Investment Company Act will be limited to no more than 15% of the Fund’s assets. The Fund may make non-U.S. investments, some of which may be denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. In most cases, the currency fluctuations of investments will be hedged through the use of currency derivatives or other instruments. Most direct loans are not rated by any rating agency, will not be registered with the SEC or any state securities commission and will not be listed on any national securities exchange. The amount of public information available with respect to issuers of direct loans may generally be less extensive than that available for issuers of registered or exchange listed securities.

Consolidation of a Subsidiary

The consolidated Schedule of Investments, Statement of Assets and Liabilities, Statements of Operations, Statements of Changes in Net Assets, Statement of Cash Flows and Financial Highlights of the Fund includes the accounts of CCLF SPV. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation for the Fund. As of March 31, 2023, net assets of the CCLF SPV were $3,576,225,802, or approximately 32.29% of the Fund’s total net assets.

On April 15, 2021, MCCW Holdings, LLC (“CCLF MCCW”) was formed as a limited liability company, and it is a wholly owned subsidiary of CCLF SPV. The consolidated Schedule of Investments, Statements of Assets and Liabilities, Statements of Operations, Statements of Changes in Net Assets, Statements of Cash Flows and Financial Highlights of the Fund includes the accounts of CCLF MCCW. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation for the Fund. As of March 31, 2023, net assets of the CCLF MCCW were $267,489,433, or approximately 2.41% of the Fund’s total net assets and are included in the net assets of CCLF SVP.

The consolidated Schedule of Investments, Statements of Assets and Liabilities, Statements of Operations, Statements of Changes in Net Assets, Statements of Cash Flows and Financial Highlights of the Fund includes the accounts of KCLF Holdings. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation for the Fund. As of March 31, 2023, net assets of the KCLF Holdings were $111,471,689, or approximately 1.01% of the Fund’s total net assets.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Preparation and Use of Estimates

The Fund is an investment company and follows the accounting and reporting guidance under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946, Financial Services — Investment Companies. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Investment Transactions and Related Investment Income

Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade-date basis. However, for daily net asset value (“NAV”) determination, portfolio securities transactions are reflected no later than in the first calculation on the first business day following trade date. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis and includes, where applicable, the amortization of premium, accretion of discount and loan origination fees using the effective interest method over the respective term

of the loan. Upon the prepayment of a loan or security, any unamortized loan origination fees, original issue discount and market discount are recorded as interest income. The Fund records prepayment premiums as interest income when it receives such amounts.

Interest income from investments in the “equity” class of collateralized loan obligation (“CLO”) funds will be recorded based upon an estimate of an effective yield to expected maturity utilizing assumed cash flows in accordance with FASB ASC 325-40, Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Assets. Effective yields for the CLO equity positions are updated generally once a quarter or on a transaction such as an add-on purchase, refinancing or reset. The estimated yield and investment cost may ultimately not be realized.

Realized gains and losses on investment transactions are determined using cost calculated on a specific identification basis. Paydown gains and losses are recorded as an adjustment to interest income in the consolidated Statements of Operations. Some or all of the interest payments of a loan or preferred equity may be structured in the form of PIK, which accrues to cost and principal on a current basis but is generally not paid in cash until maturity or some other determined payment date. Interest payments structured in the form of PIK are subject to the risk that a borrower could default when actual cash interest or principal payments are due. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions from private investments that represent returns of capital in excess of cumulative profits and losses are credited to investment cost rather than investment income.

Federal Income Taxes

The Fund intends to continue to qualify as a “regulated investment company” under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. As so qualified, the Fund will not be subject to federal income tax to the extent it distributes substantially all of its net investment income and capital gains to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. Management of the Fund is required to determine whether a tax position taken by the Fund is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by the applicable taxing authority, based on the technical merits of the position. Based on its analysis, there were no tax positions identified by management of the Fund that did not meet the “more likely than not” standard as of March 31, 2023.

The Fund’s policy is to classify interest and penalties associated with underpayment of federal and state income taxes as an income tax expense on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. For the year ended March 31, 2023, the Fund did not have interest or penalties associated with underpayment of income taxes.

CCLF SPV, CCLF MCCW, CCLF HOLD (D1), CCLF HOLD (D2), and KCLF Holdings are disregarded entities for income tax purposes. CCLF HOLD and CCLF HOLD (D3) are limited liability companies that have elected to be taxed as corporations and are therefore obligated to pay federal and state income tax on its taxable income. Currently, the federal income tax rate for a corporation is 21%. Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. A valuation allowance is recognized if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred income tax asset will not be realized.

Distributions to Shareholders

Distributions are paid at least quarterly on the Shares in amounts representing substantially all of the Fund’s net investment income, if any, earned each year. The Fund determines annually whether to distribute any net realized long-term capital gains in excess of net realized short-term capital losses (including capital loss carryover); however, it may distribute any excess annually to its shareholders.

The exact amount of distributable income for each fiscal year can only be determined at the end of the Fund’s fiscal year, March 31. Under Section 19 of the Investment Company Act, the Fund is required to indicate the sources of certain distributions to shareholders. The estimated distribution composition may vary from quarter to quarter because it may be materially impacted by future income, expenses and realized gains and losses on securities and fluctuations in the value of the currencies in which Fund assets are denominated.

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Foreign Currency Translation

The Fund’s records are maintained in U.S. dollars. The value of securities, currencies and other assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars are translated into U.S. dollars based upon foreign exchange rates prevailing at the end of the reporting period. The currencies are translated into U.S. dollars by using the exchange rates quoted at the close of the London Stock Exchange prior to when the Fund’s NAV is next determined. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses are translated on the respective dates of such transactions.

The Fund does not isolate that portion of their net realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates from the impact arising from changes in market prices. Such fluctuations are included with net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments and foreign currency.

Net realized foreign currency transaction gains and losses arise from sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the differences between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign currency translation gains and losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities, resulting from changes in the exchange rates.

Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts

The Fund may utilize forward foreign currency exchange contracts (“forward contracts”) under which they are obligated to exchange currencies on specified future dates at specified rates, and are subject to the translations of foreign exchange rates fluctuations. All contracts are “marked-to-market” daily and any resulting unrealized gains or losses are recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation on foreign currency translations. The Fund records realized gains or losses at the time the forward contract is settled. Counter-parties to these forward contracts are major U.S. financial institutions. As of March 31, 2023, the Fund had twenty-six outstanding forward currency contracts sold short.

Interest Rate Swap Contracts

The Fund may engage in various swap transactions, including interest rate agreements, primarily to manage risk, or as alternatives to direct investments. Interest rate swaps are agreements between two parties to exchange cash flows based on a notional principal amount. The Fund may elect to pay a fixed rate and receive a floating rate or receive a fixed rate and pay a floating rate on a notional principal amount. The net interest received or paid on interest rate swap agreements is accrued daily as interest income/expense. Interest rate swaps are marked-to-market daily using fair value estimates provided by an independent pricing service. Pursuant to ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, the Fund uses interest rate swaps to hedge its fixed rate debt. The Fund designated the interest rate swaps as the hedging instruments in effective hedge accounting relationships, and therefore the periodic payments are recognized as interest on swap contracts in the consolidated statement of operations. Depending on the nature of the balance at period end, the fair value of the interest rate swaps are either included as a derivative asset or derivative liability on the Fund’s consolidated statement of assets and liabilities. The change in fair value of the interest rate swaps is offset by a change in the carrying value of the fixed rate debt. Any amounts paid to the counterparties to cover collateral obligations under the terms of the interest rate swap agreements are included in cash deposited with brokers on the Fund’s consolidated statements of assets and liabilities. The risk of loss under a swap contract may exceed the amount recorded as an asset or a liability. As of March 31, 2023, the Fund had twelve outstanding interest rate swap contracts.

Collateralized Loan Obligations and Collateralized Debt Obligations

The Fund may invest in CLOs and Collateralized Debt Obligations (“CDOs”). CLOs and CDOs are created by the grouping of certain private loans and other lender assets/collateral into pools. A sponsoring organization establishes a special purpose vehicle to hold the assets/collateral and issue securities. Interests in these pools are sold as individual securities. Payments of principal and interest are passed through to investors and are typically supported by some form of credit enhancement, such as a letter of credit, surety bond, limited guaranty or senior/subordination. Payments from the asset pools may be divided into several different tranches of debt securities, offering investors various maturity and credit risk characteristics. Some tranches entitled to receive regular installments of principal and interest, other tranches entitled to receive regular installments of interest, with principal payable at maturity or upon specified call dates, and other tranches only entitled to receive payments of principal and accrued interest at maturity or upon specified call dates. Different tranches of securities will bear different interest rates, which may be fixed or floating.

72

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

March 31, 2023 (Continued)

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

CLOs and CDOs are typically privately offered and sold, and thus, are not registered under the securities laws, which means less information about the security may be available as compared to publicly offered securities and only certain institutions may buy and sell them. As a result, investments in CLOs and CDOs may be characterized by the Fund as illiquid securities. An active dealer market may exist for CLOs and CDOs that can be resold in Rule 144A transactions, but there can be no assurance that such a market will exist or will be active enough for the Fund to sell such securities.

Participations and Assignments

The Fund may acquire interests in loans either directly (by way of original issuance, sale or assignment) or indirectly (by way of participation). The purchaser of an assignment typically succeeds to all the rights and obligations of the assigning institution and becomes a lender under the credit agreement with respect to the debt obligation; however, its rights can be more restricted than those of the assigning institution. Participation interests in a portion of a debt obligation typically result in a contractual relationship only with the institution participating in the interest, not with the borrower. In purchasing participations, the Fund generally will have no right to enforce compliance by the borrower with the terms of the loan agreement, nor any rights of set-off against the borrower, and the Fund may not directly benefit from the collateral supporting the debt obligation in which it has purchased the participation. As a result, the Fund will assume the credit risk of both the borrower and the institution selling the participation.

Commitments and Contingencies

Commercial loans purchased by the Fund (whether through participations or as a lender of record) may be structured to include both term loans, which are generally fully funded at the time of investment, and unfunded loan commitments, which are contractual obligations for future funding. Unfunded loan commitments may include revolving credit facilities and delayed draw term loans, which may obligate the Fund to supply additional cash to the borrower on demand, representing a potential financial obligation by the Fund in the future. The Fund may receive a commitment fee based on the undrawn portion of such unfunded loan commitments. The commitment fee is typically set as a percentage of the commitment amount. Commitment fees are processed as income when received and are part of the interest income in the Statement of Operations. As of March 31, 2023, the Fund received $8,473,696 in commitment fees. As of March 31, 2023, the Fund had the following unfunded loan commitments as noted in the Consolidated Schedule of Investments with a total principal amount of $1,219,116,687 reflected as unfunded loan commitments within the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Valuation of Investments

In December 2020, the SEC adopted a new rule providing a framework for fund valuation practices (“Rule 2a-5”). Rule 2a-5 established requirements for determining fair value in good faith for purposes of the Investment Company Act. Rule 2a-5 will permit fund boards to designate certain parties to perform fair value determinations, subject to board oversight and certain other conditions. Rule 2a-5 also defines when market quotations are “readily available” for purposes of the Investment Company Act and the threshold for determining whether a fund must fair value a security. In connection with Rule 2a-5, the SEC also adopted related recordkeeping requirements and is rescinding previously issued guidance, including with respect to the role of a board in determining fair value and the accounting and auditing of fund investments. Effective September 8, 2022, and pursuant to the requirements of Rule 2a-5, the Board of Trustees of the Fund (the “Board”) designated the Investment Manager as its valuation designee to perform fair value determinations and approved new Valuation Procedures for the Fund. The Board (the “Valuation Designee”) has approved the valuation policy and procedures for the Fund (the “Valuation Procedures”). Under the Valuation Procedures adopted by the Board, the Board has delegated day-to-day responsibility for fair value determinations and pricing to the Valuation Designee subject to the oversight of the Board. Securities listed on a securities exchange, market or automated quotation system for which quotations are readily available (except for securities traded on NASDAQ), including securities traded over the counter, are valued at the last quoted sale price on the primary exchange or market (foreign or domestic) on which they are traded on a day the Fund will calculate its net asset value as of the close of business on each day that the New York Stock Exchange is open for business and at such other times as the Board shall determine (each a “Determination Date” or at approximately 4:00 pm U.S. Eastern Time if a security’s primary exchange is normally open at that time), or, if there is no such reported sale on the Determination Date, the mean between the closing bid and asked prices and if no asked price is available, at the bid price. For securities traded on NASDAQ, the NASDAQ Official Closing Price (which is the last trade price at or before 4:00:02 p.m. U.S. Eastern Time adjusted up to NASDAQ’s best offer price if the last trade price is below such bid and down to NASDAQ’s best offer price if the last trade is above such offer price) will be used.

Fixed income securities (including corporate bonds and senior secured loans) with a remaining maturity of 60 days or more for which accurate market quotations are readily available will normally be valued according to dealer supplied mean quotations or mean quotations from a recognized pricing service. The independent pricing agents may employ methodologies that utilize actual market transactions (if the security is actively traded), broker-dealer supplied valuations, or matrix pricing. Matrix pricing determines a security’s value by taking into account such factors as security prices, yields, maturities, call features, ratings and developments relating to comparable securities. Debt obligations with remaining maturities of sixty days or less when originally acquired will be valued at their amortized cost, which approximates fair market value.

Corporate loans are generally valued using unobservable pricing inputs received from the Fund’s investment partners or other third-party pricing services. The Investment Manager will continuously monitor the valuations of Fund investments provided by investment partners or other third-party pricing services and review any material concerns with the Valuation Committee. The Investment Manager may conclude, however, in certain circumstances, that a fair valuation provided by an investment partner or other third-party pricing service does not represent the fair value of a Fund investment and is not indicative of what actual fair value would be in an active, liquid or established market. In those circumstances, the Fund might value such investment at a discount or a premium to the value it receives from an investment partner or other third-party pricing service, in accordance with the Fund’s valuation procedures. Any such decision would be made in good faith, and subject to the review and supervision of the Valuation Committee. The Investment Manager may choose to value certain immaterial direct corporate loans internally upon approval of the Valuation Committee. The Board will consider, no less frequently than quarterly, all relevant information and the reliability of pricing information provided by the investment partners or other third-party pricing services. Additionally, the values of the Funds’ direct loan investments are adjusted daily based on the estimated total return that the asset will generate during the current quarter. The Investment Manager, other third-party pricing services and the Valuation Committee monitor these estimates regularly and update them as necessary if macro or individual changes warrant any adjustments. At the end of the quarter, each direct loan’s value is adjusted based on the actual income and appreciation or depreciation realized by such loan when its quarterly valuations and income are reported. This information is updated as soon as the information becomes available.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

March 31, 2023 (Continued)

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

CLOs are not traded on a national securities exchange and instead are valued utilizing a market approach. The market approach is a method of determining the valuation of a security based on the selling price of similar securities. The types of factors that may be taken into account in pricing CLOs include: the yield of similar CLOs where pricing is available in the market; the riskiness of the underlying pool of loans; features of the CLO, including weighted average life test, liability pricing, management fees, covenant cushions, weighted average spread of underlying loans and net asset value.

Redeemable securities issued by open-end registered investment companies are valued at the investment company’s applicable net asset value as reported by such companies, with the exception of exchange-traded open-end registered investment companies which are priced in accordance with the first paragraph within this valuation of investments section.

The Fund may invest in interests or shares in private investment companies and/or funds (“Private Investment Funds”) where the net asset value is calculated and reported by respective unaffiliated investment managers on a monthly or quarterly basis. Unless the Valuation Designee is aware of information that a value reported to the Fund by a portfolio, underlying manager, or administrator does not accurately reflect the value of the Fund’s interest in that Private Investment Fund, the Valuation Designee will use the net asset value provided by the Private Investment Funds as a practical expedient to estimate the fair value of such interests.

Reverse Repurchase Agreements

In a reverse repurchase agreement, the Fund delivers a security in exchange for cash to a financial institution, the counterparty, with a simultaneous agreement to repurchase the same or substantially the same security at an agreed upon price and date. In an open maturity reverse repurchase agreement, there is no pre-determined repurchase date and the agreement can be terminated by the Fund or counterparty at any time. The Fund is entitled to receive principal and interest payments, if any, made on the security delivered to the counterparty during the term of the agreement. Cash received in exchange for securities delivered and accrued interest payments to be made by the Fund to counterparties are reflected as liabilities on the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Interest payments made by the Fund to counterparties are recorded as interest from reverse repurchase agreements on the consolidated Statement of Operations. In periods of increased demand for the security, the Fund may receive a fee for use of the security by the counterparty, which may result in interest income to the Fund. In the event the buyer of securities under a reverse repurchase agreement files for bankruptcy or becomes insolvent, the Fund’s use of the proceeds of the agreement may be restricted pending a determination by the other party, or its trustee or receiver, whether to enforce the Fund’s obligation to repurchase the securities. Reverse repurchase agreements involve leverage risk and also the risk that the market value of the securities to be repurchased may decline below the repurchase price.

Master Repurchase Agreements and Global Master Repurchase Agreements (individually and collectively “Master Repo Agreements”) govern repurchase, reverse repurchase, and certain sale-buyback transactions between the Fund and select counterparties. Master Repo Agreements maintain provisions for, among other things, initiation, income payments, events of default, and maintenance of collateral. The value of transactions under the Master Repo Agreement, collateral pledged or received, and the net exposure by counterparty as of period end are disclosed in the Consolidated Schedule of Investments and footnote 13 thereto. For the year ended March 31, 2023, the average balance outstanding and weighted average interest rate were $4,286,712 and 4.30%, respectively.

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Repurchase Offers

The Fund is a closed-end investment company structured as an interval fund and, as such, has adopted a fundamental policy to make quarterly repurchase offers, at per-class NAV, of not less than 5% of the Fund’s outstanding Shares on the repurchase request deadline. The Fund will offer to purchase only a small portion of its Shares each quarter, and there is no guarantee that shareholders will be able to sell all of the Shares that they desire to sell in any particular repurchase offer. Under current regulations, such offers must be for not less than 5% nor more than 25% of the Fund’s Shares outstanding on the repurchase request deadline. If a repurchase offer is oversubscribed, the Fund may repurchase only a pro rata portion of the Shares tendered by each shareholder. The potential for proration may cause some investors to tender more Shares for repurchase than they wish to have repurchased or result in investors being unable to liquidate all or a given percentage of their investment during in the particular repurchase offer.

Borrowing, Use of Leverage

On March 29, 2022, the Fund and certain of its wholly-owned subsidiaries (“Guarantors”) entered into a senior secured credit facility (the “Facility”) with Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company as a joint lead arranger, PNC Bank, National Association (“PNC”) as administrative agent and joint lead arranger and with certain lenders from time to time as parties thereto (the “Lenders”). The Facility, as amended effective March 17, 2023, provides for borrowings on a committed basis in an aggregate principal amount up to $2,800,000,000. Under the Facility, the Fund has received a single 7-year term loan in the amount of $500,000,000 (“Term Loan”) and may borrow up to an additional $2,300,000,000 on a revolving basis (the “Revolving Loan”). The Fund may request the Revolving Loan to be increased from time to time up to an aggregate amount of $3,050,000, subject to the approval and discretion of the lenders. The Revolving Loan matures on March 17, 2028, and the Term Loan matures on March 28, 2029.

In connection with the Facility and Notes (discussed below under “Senior Notes”), the Fund and Guarantors have made certain customary representations and warranties and are required to comply with various customary covenants, reporting requirements and other requirements. The Facility and Notes each contain events of default customary for similar financing transactions, including: (i) the failure to make principal, interest or other payments when due after the applicable grace period; (ii) the insolvency or bankruptcy of the Guarantors or the Fund; or (iii) a change of management of the Fund. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an event of default, the Lenders or Note holders may declare the outstanding advances and all other obligations under the Facility and the Notes, respectively, immediately due and payable or incur a default rate of interest. The Facility and/or Notes may in the future be replaced or refinanced by entering into one or more new credit facilities or by the issuance of new debt securities, in each case having substantially different terms from the current Facility and Notes. For the year ended March 31, 2023, the average balance outstanding, maximum amount borrowed and weighted average interest rate under the Term Loan were $500,000,000, $500,000,000 and 5.09%, respectively. For the year ended March 31, 2023, the average balance outstanding, maximum amount borrowed and weighted average interest rate under the Revolving Loan were $831,586,301, $1,300,000,000 and 4.41%, respectively. In addition, the interest rate at period end on the Term Loan and Revolving Loan were 7.05% and 6.91%, respectively. The interest expense during the year ended March 31, 2023, was $65,447,856. Commitment fees incurred are prepaid and amortized over the term of the loan. For the year ended March 31, 2023, commitment fees were $2,970,989. Unused commitment fees for the year ended March 31, 2023, were $1,319,175.

The use of leverage increases both risk of loss and profit potential. The Fund is subject to the Investment Company Act requirement that an investment company satisfy an asset coverage requirement of 300% of its indebtedness, including amounts borrowed (including through one or more SPVs that are wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Fund), measured at the time the investment company incurs the indebtedness. This means that at any given time the value of the Fund’s total indebtedness may not exceed one-third the value of its total assets (including such indebtedness). The interests of persons with whom the Fund (or SPVs that are wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Fund) enters into leverage arrangements will not necessarily be aligned with the interests of the Fund’s shareholders and such persons will have claims on the Fund’s assets that are senior to those of the Fund’s shareholders. In addition to the risks created by the Fund’s use of leverage, the Fund is subject to the additional risk that it would be unable to timely, or at all, obtain leverage borrowing. The Fund might also be required to de-leverage, selling securities at a potentially inopportune time and incurring tax consequences. Further, the Fund’s ability to generate income from the use of leverage would be adversely affected.

Secured Borrowings

From time to time, the Fund may engage in sale/buy-back agreements, which are a type of secured borrowing. The amount, interest rate and terms of these agreements will be individually negotiated on a transaction-by-transaction basis. Each borrowing is secured by an interest in an underlying asset which is participated or assigned to the sale/buy-back counter party for the duration of the agreement.

The Fund entered into sale/buy-back agreements with Macquarie US Trading LLC (“Macquarie”), and pursuant to such agreements, the Fund granted Macquarie a participation interest in certain assets, with a corresponding repurchase obligation at an agreed-upon price within 120 days after the sale date. Interest expense on secured borrowings for the year ended March 31, 2023 were $18,679,698. There were no secured borrowings outstanding as of March 31, 2023.

Senior Notes

On March 29, 2022, the Fund issued Series A Senior Secured Notes (the “Notes”) in a private placement to qualified institutional purchasers in the aggregate principal amount of $650 million, maturing on March 28, 2027. On June 7, 2022, the Fund issued additional Series A notes in a private placement to qualified institutional purchasers in the aggregate principal amount of $250 million, maturing on March 28, 2027. On July 22, 2022, the Fund issued Series B, Series C, Series E and Series F notes in a private placement to qualified institutional purchasers in the aggregate principal amount of $635 million with various maturities. On September 29, 2022, the Fund issued Series D and Series G notes in a private placement to qualified institutional purchasers in the aggregate principal amount of $50 million with various maturities. On December 6, 2022, the Fund issued Series H, Series I and Series J notes in a private placement to qualified institutional purchasers in the aggregate principal amount of $270 million with various maturities. On January 5, 2023, the Fund issued additional Series I notes in a private placement to qualified institutional purchasers in the aggregate principal amount of $10 million maturing on December 6, 2027. The obligations of the Fund and each of the Guarantors under the Facility and the Notes are secured by a first-priority security interest on substantially all of the assets of the Fund and each of the Guarantors.

In connection with the Notes, the Fund entered into interest rate swaps to more closely align the interest rates of its liabilities with its investment portfolio, which consists of predominately floating rate loans. Under the interest rate swap agreements, the Fund receives a fixed interest rate and pays a floating interest rate of daily simple SOFR plus various spreads as disclosed on the consolidated schedule of swap contracts on notional amounts equal to the principal outstanding of the Notes. The Fund designated the interest rate swaps as the hedging instruments in effective hedge accounting relationships. See Notes 10 and 11 for more information regarding the interest rate swaps.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

March 31, 2023 (Continued)

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

The Notes are fair valued using an income approach and classified as level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. The discount rates used ranged from 6.30% to 6.43%. In the prior year, the Series A Notes were valued at cost given the fact that they were issued immediately preceding the fiscal year end.

The Fund shall at all times maintain a current rating given by a Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organization (an “NRSRO”) of at least Investment Grade with respect to the Notes and shall not at any time have any rating given by a NRSRO of less than Investment Grade with respect to the Notes.

In keeping with the Investment Company Act requirement that the Fund may not issue more than one class of senior securities constituting indebtedness, the Facility and Notes rank pari passu with each other, and the lien on the Fund’s assets securing the Notes is equal and ratable with the lien securing the Facility. The Facility and Notes are senior in all respects to the Fund’s outstanding shares with respect to the payment of dividends and the distribution of assets upon dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Fund.

The Fund complies with Section 8 and Section 18 of the Investment Company Act, governing investment policies and capital structure and leverage, respectively, on an aggregate basis with the Guarantors. The Guarantors also comply with Section 17 of the Investment Company Act relating to affiliated transactions and custody.

3. Principal Risks

Non-Diversified Status

The Fund is a “non-diversified” management investment company. Thus, there are no percentage limitations imposed by the Investment Company Act on the Fund’s assets that may be invested, directly or indirectly, in the securities of any one issuer. Consequently, if one or more securities are allocated a relatively large percentage of the Fund’s assets, losses suffered by such securities could result in a higher reduction in the Fund’s capital than if such capital had been more proportionately allocated among a larger number of securities. The Fund may also be more susceptible to any single economic or regulatory occurrence than a diversified investment company.

Debt Securities

Under normal market conditions, the Fund expects to primarily invest in debt and debt-related securities. One of the fundamental risks associated with such investments is credit risk, which is the risk that an issuer will be unable to make principal and interest payments on its outstanding debt obligations when due. Adverse changes in the financial condition of an issuer or in general economic conditions (or both) may impair the ability of such issuer to make such payments and result in defaults on, and declines in, the value of its debt. The Fund’s return to Shareholders would be adversely impacted if an issuer of debt securities in which the Fund invests becomes unable to make such payments when due. Other risk factors include interest rate risk (a rise in interest rates causes a decline in the value of debt securities) and prepayment risk (the debtor may pay its obligation early, reducing the amount of interest payments). These risks could affect the value of a particular investment, possibly causing the Fund’s share price and total return to be reduced and fluctuate more than other types of investments.

Borrowing, Use of Leverage

The Fund may leverage its investments by “borrowing,” use of swap agreements, options or other derivative instruments, use of short sales or issuing preferred stock or preferred debt. The use of leverage increases both risk and profit potential. The Fund expects that under normal business conditions it will utilize a combination of the leverage methods described above. The Fund is subject to the Investment Company Act requirement that an investment company limit its borrowings to no more than 50% of its total assets for preferred stock or preferred debt and 33 1/3% of its total assets for debt securities, including amounts borrowed, measured at the time the investment company incurs the indebtedness. Although leverage may increase profits, it exposes the Fund to credit risk, greater market risks and higher current expenses. The effect of leverage with respect to any investment in a market that moves adversely to such investment could result in a loss to the investment portfolio of the Fund that would be substantially greater than if the investment were not leveraged. Also, access to leverage and financing could be impaired by many factors, including market forces or regulatory changes, and there can be no assurance that the Fund will be able to secure or maintain adequate leverage or financing. The ability of the Fund to transact business with any one or number of counterparties, the lack of any independent evaluation of such counterparties’ financial capabilities and the absence of a regulated market to facilitate settlement may increase the potential for losses by the Fund.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

March 31, 2023 (Continued)

3. Principal Risks (continued)

Margin borrowings and transactions involving forwards, swaps, futures, options and other derivative instruments could result in certain additional risks to the Fund. In such transactions, counterparties and lenders will likely require the Fund to post collateral to support its obligations. Should the securities and other assets pledged as collateral decline in value or should brokers increase their maintenance margin requirements (i.e., reduce the percentage of a position that can be financed), the Fund could be subject to a “margin call,” pursuant to which it must either deposit additional funds with the broker or suffer mandatory liquidation of the pledged assets to compensate for the decline in value. In the event of a precipitous drop in the value of pledged securities, the Fund might not be able to liquidate assets quickly enough to pay off the margin debt or provide additional collateral and may suffer mandatory liquidation of positions in a declining market at relatively low prices, thereby incurring substantial losses.

Economic Downturn or Recession

Many of the Fund’s investments may be issued by companies susceptible to economic slowdowns or recessions. Therefore, the Fund’s non-performing assets are likely to increase, and the value of its portfolio is likely to decrease, during these periods. A prolonged recession may result in losses of value in the Fund’s portfolio and a decrease in the Fund’s revenues, net income and NAV. Unfavorable economic conditions also could increase the Fund’s funding costs, limit the Fund’s access to the capital markets or result in a decision by lenders not to extend credit to it on terms it deems acceptable. These events could prevent the Fund from increasing investments and harm the Fund’s operating results.

LIBOR Risk

LIBOR has been used extensively in the U.S. and globally as a “benchmark” or “reference rate” for various commercial and financial contracts, including corporate and municipal bonds, bank loans, asset-backed and mortgage-related securities, interest rate swaps and other derivatives. Instruments in which the Fund invests may have historically paid interest at floating rates based on LIBOR or may have been subject to interest caps or floors based on LIBOR. The Fund and issuers of instruments in which the Fund invests may have also historically obtained financing at floating rates based on LIBOR. The underlying collateral of CLOs in which the Fund invests have also paid interest at floating rates based on LIBOR. In July of 2017, the head of the UK Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”) announced a desire to phase out the use of LIBOR by the end of 2021. On March 5, 2021, ICE announced that all LIBOR settings will either cease to be provided by any administrator or no longer be representative: (a) immediately after December 31, 2021, in the case of the 1-week and 2-month U.S. dollar LIBOR settings; and (b) immediately after June 30, 2023, in the case of the remaining U.S. dollar LIBOR settings.

On July 29, 2021, the U.S. Federal Reserve, in connection with the Alternative Reference Rates Committee (“ARRC”), a steering committee comprised of large U.S. financial institutions, formally recommended the forward-looking Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) term rates proposed by CME Group, Inc. as the replacement for U.S. dollar LIBOR, marking the final step in the ARRC’s Paced Transition Plan implemented to encourage the adoption of SOFR. In addition, as of the date of this report the current nominated replacement for GBP-LIBOR is the Sterling Overnight Interbank Average Rate (“SONIA”). In July 2020, Bloomberg began publishing fall-backs that the International Swaps and Derivatives Association (“ISDA”) intends to implement in lieu of LIBOR with respect to swaps and derivatives. Given the inherent differences between LIBOR and SOFR, or any other alternative benchmark rate that may be established, including SONIA, there remains uncertainty regarding the future utilization of LIBOR and the nature of any replacement rate. In many cases, the nominated replacements, as well as other potential replacements, are not complete or ready to implement and require margin adjustments. There is currently no final consensus as to which Benchmark Rate(s) (along with any adjustment and/or permutation thereof) will replace all or any LIBOR tenors after the discontinuation thereof and there can be no assurance that any such replacement Benchmark Rate(s) will attain market acceptance.

Any transition away from LIBOR to one or more alternative Benchmark Rates is complex and could have a material adverse effect on the Fund’s business, financial condition and results of operations, including, without limitation, as a result of any changes in the pricing and/or availability of the Fund’s investments, negotiations and/or changes to the documentation for certain of the Fund’s investments, the pace of such changes, disputes and other actions regarding the interpretation of current and prospective loan documentation, basis risks between investments and hedges, basis risks within investments (e.g., securitizations), costs of modifications to processes and systems, and/or costs of administrative services and operations, including monitoring of recommended conventions and Benchmark Rates, or any component of or adjustment to the foregoing.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

March 31, 2023 (Continued)

3. Principal Risks (continued)

It is not possible to predict whether there will be any further changes in the methods pursuant to which the LIBOR rates are determined and any other reforms to LIBOR that will be enacted in the United States, the U.K. or elsewhere, or the effects thereof. Any such changes or further reforms to LIBOR may result in a sudden or prolonged increase or decrease in reported LIBOR rates, which could have a material adverse impact on the value of the Fund’s investments and any payments linked to LIBOR thereunder.

LIBOR is likely to perform differently than in the past until the final phase-outs in 2023 and, ultimately, will cease to exist as a global benchmark going forward. Until an alternative Benchmark Rate(s) becomes generally accepted and regularly implemented in the market, the uncertainty as to the future of LIBOR, its eventual phase-out, the transition to one or more alternate Benchmark Rate(s), and the implementation of such new Benchmark Rate(s) may impact a number of factors, which, either alone or in the aggregate, may cause a material adverse effect on the Fund’s performance and ability to achieve its investment objective. Such factors include, without limitation: (i) the administration and/or management of portfolio of investments, including (a) cost of funding or other operational or administrative costs, (b) costs incurred to transition to and implement a substitute index or Benchmark Rate(s) for purposes of calculating interest, (c) costs of negotiating with counterparties with respect to an acceptable replacement calculation and potential amendments to existing debt instruments or credit facilities currently utilizing LIBOR to determine interest rates, and/or (d) costs of potential disputes and/or litigation regarding interest calculation, loan value, appropriateness or comparability of any new Benchmark Rate(s) or any other dispute over terms relating to or arising from any of the foregoing; (ii) the availability (or lack thereof) of potential investments in the market during the transition period; (iii) the time periods necessary to make investments and deploy capital during the transition period; (iv) the calculation and value of investments and overall cash flows, profitability and performance; (v) the liquidity of investments in the secondary market or otherwise, and the asset-liability management strategies available; (vi) basis risks between investments and hedges and basis risks within investments (e.g., securitizations); or (vii) any mismatch, during a transition period or otherwise, between a Benchmark Rate used for leverage facilities and another used for one or more of the Fund’s investments.

Limited Liquidity

Shares in the Fund provide limited liquidity since shareholders will not be able to redeem Shares on a daily basis. A shareholder may not be able to tender its Shares in the Fund promptly after it has made a decision to do so. In addition, with very limited exceptions, Shares are not transferable, and liquidity will be provided only through repurchase offers made quarterly by the Fund. In addition, the Fund does not expect any trading market to develop for the Shares. As a result, if investors decide to invest in the Fund, they will have very limited opportunity to sell their Shares. Shares in the Fund are therefore suitable only for investors who can bear the risks associated with the limited liquidity of Shares and should be viewed as a long-term investment.

COVID-19

In early 2020, an outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) emerged globally. The outbreak of COVID-19 and its variants resulted in closing international borders, enhanced health screenings, healthcare service preparation and delivery, quarantines, cancellations, disruptions to supply chains and customer activity, as well as general public concern and uncertainty. This outbreak negatively affected the worldwide economy, as well as the economies of individual countries, the financial health of individual companies and the market in general in significant and unforeseen ways. On May 5, 2023, the World Health Organization declared the end of the global emergency status for COVID-19. The United States subsequently ended the federal COVID-19 public health emergency declaration effective May 11, 2023. Although vaccines for COVID-19 are more widely available, it is unknown how long certain circumstances related to the pandemic will persist, whether they will reoccur in the future, and what additional implications may follow from the pandemic. The impact of these events and other epidemics or pandemics in the future could adversely affect Fund performance.

4. Investment Advisory and Other Agreements

The Fund has entered into an investment management agreement (the “Investment Management Agreement”) with the Investment Manager. Pursuant to the Investment Management Agreement, the Fund pays the Investment Manager a monthly Investment Management Fee equal to 1.00% on an annualized basis of the Fund’s Net Assets. The Investment Manager has contractually agreed to an expense limitation and reimbursement agreement (the “Expense Limitation and Reimbursement Agreement”) with the Fund, whereby the Investment Manager has agreed to waive fees that it would otherwise have been paid, and/or to assume expenses of the Fund (a “Waiver”), if required to ensure the Total Annual

4. Investment Advisory and Other Agreements (continued)

Expenses (excluding any taxes, leverage interest, distribution and servicing fees, brokerage commissions, dividend and interest expenses on short sales, acquired fund fees and expenses (as determined in accordance with SEC Form N-2), expenses incurred in connection with any merger or reorganization, and extraordinary expenses, such as litigation expenses) do not exceed 2.25% of the average daily net assets of Class I Shares (the “Expense Limit”). For a period not to exceed three years from the date on which a Waiver is made, the Investment Manager may recoup amounts waived or assumed, provided it is able to effect such recoupment and remain in compliance with the Expense Limitation and Reimbursement Agreement. The Expense Limitation and Reimbursement Agreement has an initial two-year term, which ends two years from the date of commencement of the Fund’s operations. The Expense Limitation and Reimbursement Agreement automatically renewed for consecutive one-year terms thereafter, and was terminated effective March 6, 2023.

The Fund may, at the discretion of the Investment Manager and subject to Board and shareholder approval, allocate its assets amongst the Investment Manager and one or more sub-advisers in percentages determined at the discretion of the Investment Manager (“allocated portion”).

5. Fair Value of Investments

Fair value — Definition

The Fund uses a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The objective of a fair value measurement is to determine the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (an exit price). Accordingly, the fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

    Level 1 – Valuations based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.

   Level 2 – Valuations based on inputs, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, that are observable either directly or indirectly.

   Level 3 – Valuations based on inputs that are both significant and unobservable to the overall fair value measurement.

Investments in Private Investment Funds measured based upon NAV as a practical expedient to determine fair value are not required to be categorized in the fair value hierarchy.

5. Fair Value of Investments (continued)

The availability of valuation techniques and observable inputs can vary from investment to investment and are affected by a wide variety of factors, including type of investment, whether the investment is new and not yet established in the marketplace, the liquidity of markets, and other characteristics particular to the transaction. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, determining fair value requires more judgment. Because of the inherent uncertainly of valuation, estimated values may be materially higher or lower than the values that would have been used had a ready market for the investments existed. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised by the Valuation Designee in determining fair value is greatest for investments categorized in Level 3.

The Fund’s assets recorded at fair value have been categorized based on a fair value hierarchy as described in the Fund’s significant accounting policies. The following table presents information about the Fund’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value as of March 31, 2023:

6. Capital Stock

The Fund is authorized as a Delaware statutory trust to issue an unlimited number of Shares in one or more classes, with a par value of $0.001. The minimum initial investment in Class I Shares by any investor is $10 million. However, the Fund, in its sole discretion, may accept investments below this minimum with respect to Class I Shares. Shares may be purchased by principals and employees of the Investment Manager or its affiliates and their immediate family members without being subject to the minimum investment requirements.

Class I Shares are not subject to any initial sales charge. Shares will generally be offered for purchase on each business day at NAV per share, except that Shares may be offered more or less frequently as determined by the Board in its sole discretion. The Board may also suspend or terminate offerings of Shares at any time.

A shareholder whose Shares (or a portion thereof) are repurchased by the Fund will not be entitled to a return of any sales charge that was charged in connection with the shareholder’s purchase of the Shares.

Pursuant to Rule 23c-3 under the Investment Company Act, on a quarterly basis, the Fund offers shareholders holding all classes of shares the option of redeeming shares at NAV. The Board determines the quarterly repurchase offer amount (“Repurchase Offer Amount”), which can be no less than 5% and no more than 25% of all shares of all classes outstanding on the repurchase request deadline. If shareholders tender more than the Repurchase Offer Amount, the

Fund may, but is not required to, repurchase an additional amount of shares not to exceed 2% of all outstanding shares of the Fund on the repurchase request deadline If the Fund determines not to repurchase more than the Repurchase Offer Amount, or if shareholders tender Shares in an amount exceeding the Repurchase Offer Amount plus 2% of the outstanding Shares on the Repurchase Request Deadline, the Fund will repurchase the Shares on a pro rata basis. However, the Fund may accept all shares tendered for repurchase by shareholders who own less than $2,500 worth of Shares and who tender all of their Shares, before prorating other amounts tendered. In addition, the Fund may accept the total number of Shares tendered in connection with required minimum distributions from an IRA or other qualified retirement plan. It is the shareholder’s obligation to both notify and provide the Fund supporting documentation of a required minimum distribution from an IRA or other qualified retirement plan. The results of the repurchase offers conducted for the year ended March 31, 2023 are as follows:

7. Federal Income Taxes

Fund Income Tax

At March 31, 2023, gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation on investments, based on cost for federal income tax purposes were as follows:

Cost of investments including proceeds from reverse repurchase agreements

 

$

14,895,057,234

 

Gross unrealized appreciation

Gross unrealized depreciation

 

 

(230,368,172

)

Net unrealized depreciation on investments

 

$

(60,676,245

)

The difference between cost amounts for financial statement and federal income tax purposes is due primarily to timing differences in recognizing certain gains and losses in security transactions.

GAAP requires that certain components of net assets be reclassified between financial and tax reporting. Permanent differences between book and tax basis are attributable to certain investments in partnerships and holdings in Domestic Blockers. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset value per share. For the year ended December 31, 2022, permanent differences in book and tax accounting have been reclassified to paid-in capital and total distributable earnings.

Domestic Blocker Income Tax

CCLF Holdings LLC and CCLF Holdings (D3) LLC (the “Domestic Blockers”) recorded provisions for income tax expense (benefit) for the year ended March 31, 2023, in the amount of $920,607. This provision for income tax expense (benefit) is comprised of the following current and deferred income tax expense (benefit):

Deferred

 

$

920,607

As of March 31, 2023, temporary differences between financial and tax reporting that give rise to deferred income taxes totaled $1,421,142, resulting principally from differences in the recognition of income from partnership investments and the treatment of unrealized appreciation/depreciation. The Domestic Blockers have a net deferred tax liability recorded as of March 31, 2023. Should a net deferred tax asset exist in the future, the Domestic Blockers will assess whether a valuation allowance should be booked to reserve against that asset.

The statutory rate and effective federal rate is 21%. The Fund is currently using an estimated tax rate of 3.95% for state and local tax, net of federal tax benefit.

8. Investment Transactions

For the year ended March 31, 2023, purchases and sales of investments, excluding short-term investments, were $9,203,293,359 and $3,303,870,441 respectively

9. Indemnifications

In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations which provide general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. However, the Fund expects the risk of loss to be remote.

10. Derivatives and Hedging Disclosures

U.S. GAAP requires enhanced disclosures about the Fund’s derivative and hedging activities, including how such activities are accounted for and their effects on the Fund’s financial position, performance and cash flows. The Fund invested in forward foreign exchange currency contracts and swap contracts for the year ended March 31, 2023 in order to hedge overall portfolio currency risk and interest rate risk, respectively. By entering into forward foreign exchange currency contracts, the Fund agrees to exchange different currencies at a specified exchange rate at an agreed-upon future date. The Fund may be susceptible to the risk of changes in the foreign exchange rate underlying the forward contract and of the counterparty’s potential inability to fulfill the terms of the contract. By entering into swap agreements, the Fund agrees to exchange payments at specified dates on the basis of a specified notional amount, with the payments calculated by reference to specified securities, indexes, reference rates, currencies or other instruments. The Fund may be susceptible to losses if interest rate or foreign currency exchange rates or credit quality changes are not correctly anticipated by the Fund or if the reference index, security or investments do not perform as expected, and are subject to counterparty credit, liquidity, valuation, correlation and leverage risk.

The effects of these derivative instruments on the Fund’s financial position and financial performance as reflected in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities and Consolidated Statement of Operations are presented in the tables below. Forward contracts are not designated as hedging instruments. Interest rate swap contracts are designated as hedging instruments. The fair values of derivative instruments as of March 31, 2023, and the realized and unrealized gain (loss) during the year ended March 31, 2023 by risk category are as follows:

11. Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities

Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities requires an entity to disclose information about offsetting and related arrangements to enable users of its financial statements to understand the effect of those arrangements on its financial position. The guidance requires retrospective application for all comparative periods presented.

A fund mitigates credit risk with respect to OTC derivative counterparties through credit support annexes included with International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. (“ISDA”) Master Agreements or other Master Netting Agreements which are the standard contracts governing most derivative transactions between the fund and each of its counterparties. These agreements allow the fund and each counterparty to offset certain derivative financial instruments’ payables and/or receivables against each other and/or with collateral, which is generally held by the fund’s custodian. The amount of collateral moved to/from applicable counterparties is based upon minimum transfer amounts specified in the agreement. To the extent amounts due to the fund from its counterparties are not fully collateralized contractually or otherwise, the fund bears the risk of loss from counterparty non-performance.

It is the Fund’s policy to recognize a net asset or liability equal to the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of each derivative contract. As of March 31, 2023, the Fund is subject to master netting arrangements for forward foreign currency exchange contracts and swap contracts. The following table shows additional information regarding the offsetting of assets and liabilities, as of March 31, 2023:

*     Amounts relate to master netting agreements and collateral agreements which have been determined by the Investment Manager to be legally enforceable in the event of default but where certain other criteria are not met in accordance with applicable offsetting accounting guidance. The collateral amounts may exceed the related net amounts of financial assets and liabilities presented in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Where this is the case, the total amount reported is limited to the net amounts of financial assets and liabilities with that counterparty.

Approval of Investment Management Agreement

At the regular quarterly meeting of the Board of Trustees of the Fund (the “Board”) held on December 14, 2022 by a unanimous vote, the Board, including a majority of Trustees who are not “interested persons” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(19) of the Investment Company Act (the “Independent Trustees”), approved the Investment Management Agreement between Cliffwater LLC (the “Investment Manager”) and the Fund (the “Investment Management Agreement”).

Pursuant to relief granted by the SEC in light of the COVID-19 pandemic (the “Order”) and a determination by the Board that reliance on the Order was appropriate due to circumstances related to the current or potential effects of COVID-19, the December 14, 2022 regular quarterly meeting was held by videoconference. At the Board meeting and throughout the consideration process, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, was advised by counsel.

In advance of the Board meeting, the Independent Trustees requested and received materials from the Investment Manager to assist them in considering the approval of the Investment Management Agreement. The Independent Trustees reviewed reports from third parties and management about the below factors. The Board did not identify any particular information as controlling in determining whether or not to approve the Investment Management Agreement, and each Board member may have attributed different weights to the various items considered. Nor are the items described herein all-encompassing of the matters considered by the Board.

The Board engaged in a detailed discussion of the materials with management of the Investment Manager. The Independent Trustees then met separately with independent counsel to the Independent Trustees for a full review of the materials. Following this session, the full Board reconvened and after further discussion determined that the information presented provided a sufficient basis upon which to approve the Investment Management Agreement.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services

The Board reviewed and considered the nature and extent of the investment advisory services provided by the Investment Manager to the Fund under the Investment Management Agreement, including the selection of Fund investments and oversight of the Fund’s sub-advisers, as relevant. The Board also reviewed and considered the nature and extent of the non-advisory, administrative services provided by the Investment Manager, including, among other things, providing office facilities, equipment, and personnel. The Board also reviewed and considered the qualifications of the key personnel of the Investment Manager who provide the investment advisory and/or administrative services to the Fund. The Board determined that the Investment Manager’s key personnel are well-qualified by education and/or training and experience to perform the services in an efficient and professional manner. The Board also took into account the Investment Manager’s compliance policies and procedures, including the procedures used to determine the value of the Fund’s investments. The Board concluded that the overall quality of the advisory and administrative services provided was satisfactory.

March 31, 2023 (Unaudited) (Continued)

Performance

The Board considered the investment performance of the Investment Manager with respect to the Fund. The Board considered the performance of the Fund, noting that the Fund had out-performed its benchmark for the period from the Fund’s inception on June 5, 2019 through November 30, 2022.

Fees and Expenses Relative to Comparable Funds Managed by Other Investment Managers

The Board reviewed the advisory fee rates and total expense ratio of the Fund. The Board compared the advisory fee and total expense ratio for the Fund with various comparative data, including a report of other comparable funds.

The Board noted that the Fund’s advisory fee was calculated on net assets and at 1.00% was below the median advisory fee of the peer universe identified in the provided Broadridge report. They further noted that the Investment Manager had implemented an expense cap so that total expenses of the Fund, subject to certain exclusions, do not exceed certain limits. The Board concluded that the advisory fees paid by the Fund and total expense ratio were reasonable and satisfactory in light of the services provided.

Economies of Scale

The Board reviewed the structure of the Fund’s investment management fee under the Investment Management Agreement. The Board considered that the Investment Manager continued to monitor whether the Fund’s current fee level continues to reflect economies of scale and concluded that the fees were reasonable and satisfactory in light of the services provided.

Profitability of Investment Manager and Affiliates

The Board considered and reviewed information concerning the costs incurred and profits realized by the Investment Manager from its relationship with the Fund. The Board also reviewed the Investment Manager’s financial condition. The Board noted that the financial condition of the Investment Manager appeared stable. The Board determined that the advisory fees and the compensation to the Investment Manager were reasonable and its financial condition was adequate.

Ancillary Benefits and Other Factors

The Board also discussed other benefits to be received by the Investment Manager from its management of the Fund, including, without limitation, the ability to market its advisory services for similar products. The Board noted that the Investment Manager did not have affiliations with the Fund’s transfer agent, administrator, custodian or distribution agent and therefore does not derive any benefits from the relationships these parties may have with the Fund. The Board concluded that the advisory fees were reasonable in light of the fall-out benefits.

General Conclusion

Based on its consideration of all factors that it deemed material, and assisted by the advice of its counsel, the Board concluded it would be in the best interest of the Fund and its shareholders to approve the continuance of the Investment Management Agreement.

As of the end of the period covered by the report, the registrant’s board of trustees has determined that Mr. Paul S. Atkins, Mr. Dominic Garcia, and Mr. Paul J. Williams are qualified to serve as the audit committee financial experts serving on its audit committee and that they are “independent,” as defined by Item 3 of Form N-CSR.

All of the principal accountant’s hours spent on auditing the registrant’s financial statements were attributed to work performed by full-time permanent employees of the principal accountant.

 

The following table indicates the non-audit fees billed or expected to be billed by the registrant’s accountant for services to the registrant and to the registrant’s investment adviser (and any other controlling entity, etc.— not sub-adviser) for the last two years. The audit committee of the board of trustees/directors has considered whether the provision of non-audit services that were rendered to the registrant’s investment adviser is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant’s independence and has concluded that the provision of such non-audit services by the accountant has not compromised the accountant’s independence.

Item 5.       Audit Committee of Listed Registrants.

Not applicable.

Item 6.       Investments.

See the Annual Report to Shareholders under Item 1 of this Form.

Item 7.       Disclosure of Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures for Closed-End Management Investment Companies.

Cliffwater LLC
PROXY POLICY AND PROCEDURE

Rule 206(4)-6 of the Advisers Act requires a registered investment adviser that exercises voting authority with respect to client securities to: (i) adopt written policies reasonably designed to ensure that the investment adviser votes in the best interest of its clients and addresses how the investment adviser will deal with material conflicts of interest that may arise between the investment adviser and its clients; (ii) disclose to its clients information about such policies and procedures; and (iii) upon request, provide information on how proxies were voted.

For its non-discretionary clients, Cliffwater does not have authority to vote client securities. These clients will receive their proxies, corporate actions, consents and other solicitations directly from their custodian or the relevant issuer or investment fund. These clients may contact their client service professionals with questions about a particular solicitation.

For its discretionary clients, Cliffwater generally takes responsibility for ensuring that proxies solicited by, or with respect to, the issuers of securities held in the client’s investment account, and corporate actions and consents sought by such issuers (including tender offers and rights offerings) are voted. In most cases, the managers of the commingled funds and separate accounts holding the assets vote the proxy solicitations. However, Cliffwater will take such action in limited circumstances which may include private partnership amendments and consents and in the event that an individual security is held by the client outside of a commingled fund or separate account where the manager votes the securities. Cliffwater’s discretionary clients may also retain the right to vote any proxies or take action relating to specified securities held in the client’s investment account, provided the client gives timely written notice to Cliffwater.

Cliffwater will not put its own interests ahead of those of any of its client and will resolve any possible conflicts between its interests and those of the client in favor of the client. When voting proxies, Cliffwater follows procedures designed to identify and address material conflicts of interest that may arise between its interests and those of its clients. Accordingly, prior to voting any proxy, Cliffwater will determine whether a material conflict of interest exists. A conflict of interest will be considered material to the extent that it is determined that the conflict has the potential to influence Cliffwater’s decision making in voting the proxy. If Cliffwater determines that there is a material conflict of interest related to the proxy solicitation, Cliffwater will take appropriate action to resolve the conflict which may include abstaining from a particular vote.

Cliffwater will seek to act solely in the best interests of its clients when exercising its voting authority. Cliffwater determines whether and how to vote proxies on a case-by-case basis. In making such determination, Cliffwater: (i) will attempt to consider all aspects of the vote that could affect the value of the issuer or that of the relevant client, (ii) will vote in a manner that it believes is consistent with the relevant client’s stated objectives, (iii) generally will vote in accordance with the recommendation of the issuing company’s management on routine and administrative matters, unless Cliffwater has a particular reason to vote to the contrary, and (iv) may not vote at all to the extent the outcome of the vote or action does not have a material impact on the issuer or value of its securities.

Under Rule 204-2 under the Advisers Act, Cliffwater must retain: (i) its voting policies and procedures; (ii) corporate action and proxy statements received; (iii) records of votes cast; (iv) records of client requests for voting information; and (v) any documents prepared by Cliffwater that were material to making a decision on how to vote. Under the circumstances where Cliffwater votes a proxy, corporate action or consent solicited by an issuer of securities or an investment fund, Cliffwater will document and maintain its voting record.

 

Cliffwater’s General Counsel and Chief Compliance Officer must approve the engagement of any proxy advisory firm to assist in connection with voting client securities.

For private investment funds, Cliffwater may accept a seat on an advisory board or similar group for a fund in which one or more Cliffwater clients have invested. Cliffwater believes advisory board service benefits its clients by allowing Cliffwater greater insight into the fund and its strategies and that, in general, the interests of its clients as investors will be aligned with the interests of all investors in the fund. However, if the interests of Cliffwater’s clients were to diverge from the interests of each other, the Cliffwater representative will take appropriate action to resolve the conflict which may include abstaining from a particular vote. Please see section III.B.7. for further information regarding Cliffwater’s actions with respect to advisory boards.

Conflicts of Interest

The Investment Manager and Portfolio Managers may manage multiple funds and/or other accounts, and as a result may be presented with one or more of the following actual or potential conflicts:

The management of multiple funds and/or other accounts may result in the Investment Manager or Portfolio Manager devoting unequal time and attention to the management of each fund and/or other account. The Investment Manager seeks to manage such competing interests for the time and attention of a Portfolio Manager by having the Portfolio Manager focus on a particular investment discipline. Other accounts managed by a Portfolio Manager may not be managed using the same investment models that are used in connection with the management of the Fund. If the Investment Manager, or Portfolio Manager identifies a limited investment opportunity which may be

 

suitable for more than one fund or other account, a fund may not be able to take full advantage of that opportunity due to an allocation of filled purchase or sale orders across all eligible funds and other accounts. To deal with these situations, the Investment Manager has adopted procedures for allocating portfolio transactions across multiple accounts. The Investment Manager has adopted certain compliance procedures which are designed to address these types of conflicts. However, there is no guarantee that such procedures will detect each and every situation in which a conflict arises.

(a)(3)Compensation Structure of Portfolio Manager

Cliffwater LLC -The Portfolio Managers have ownership and financial interests in, and may receive compensation and/or variable profit distributions from, the Investment Manager based on the Investment Manager’s financial performance, such as its overall revenues and profitability. The Portfolio Managers’ compensation is not tied to the Fund’s performance, except to the extent that the fee paid to the Investment Manager impacts the Investment Manager’s financial performance.
