Cliffwater Corporate Lending Fund

Letter to Shareholders

September 30, 2023 (Unaudited)

To our shareholders:

The Cliffwater Corporate Lending Fund (the “Fund”) recently completed four full years of operation, and we want to thank you for the continued trust you have placed in us.

Performance has been consistently strong relative to our objective. The Fund produced a net 8.81% annualized return from its June 5, 2019 inception, through September 30, 2023. This compares to a 4.74% annualized return for the Morningstar LSTA US Leveraged Loan Index. The Fund also reported relatively consistent monthly returns. Its annualized standard deviation measures 2.01% for the same period compared to 7.63% for the Morningstar LSTA US Leveraged Loan Index.

The Fund experienced strong net investor inflows over the six months ended September 30, 2023, with net-asset-value growing from $11.1 billion on March 31, 2023, to $13.9 billion on September 30, 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 an increased yield as a result of rising interest rates, and very low realized losses.

We remain confident in the Fund’s continued performance despite the uncertain economic environment brought by high interest rates and the prospect of a slowing economy. The Fund’s 11% distribution rate at September 30, 2023, up from 10% at March 31, 2023, remains attractive and we expect it to continue so in a “higher-for-longer” interest rate scenario.

We again sincerely thank you for your support.

Regards,

Stephen L. Nesbitt
Chief Investment Officer
Cliffwater LLC

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.

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).

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

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 closed-end management investment company operating as a diversified 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 September 30, 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.

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. Equalization interest on private investment vehicles are interest payments made to existing shareholders of closed-end vehicles when investing in a later close and are expensed as incurred.

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.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

September 30, 2023 (Unaudited) (Continued)

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

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 September 30, 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 six months ended September 30, 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), KCLF Holdings, Koala Holdings, CW Point, CCLF HOLD (D6), CCLF HOLD (D11), Fivemile River Funding, CCLF HOLD (D7), Madison Avenue SPV, and Madison Avenue CLO 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.

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.

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

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 September 30, 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 September 30, 2023, the Fund had sixteen outstanding interest rate swap contracts.

Collateralized Loan Obligations and Collateralized Debt Obligations

The Fund may invest in Collateralized Loan Obligations (“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.

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

70

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

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 September 30, 2023, the Fund received $1,624,608 in commitment fees. As of September 30, 2023, the Fund had the following unfunded loan commitments as noted in the Consolidated Schedule of Investments with a total principal amount of $1,826,328,433.

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 (the “Valuation Designee”) and approved new Valuation Procedures for the Fund. The Board 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.

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

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.

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 18 thereto. For the six months ended September 30, 2023, the average balance outstanding and weighted average interest rate were $3,980,410 and 7.02%, respectively.

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 most recently amended effective August 18, 2023, provides for borrowings on a committed basis in an aggregate principal amount up to $3,075,000,000. 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 $2,575,000,000 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. As of September 30, 2023, the Term Loan balance was $400,000,000.

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 six months ended September 30, 2023, the average balance outstanding, maximum amount borrowed and weighted average interest rate under the Term Loan were $474,043,716, $500,000,000 and 7.21%, respectively. For the six months ended September 30, 2023, the

84

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

September 30, 2023 (Unaudited) (Continued)

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

average balance outstanding, maximum amount borrowed and weighted average interest rate under the Revolving Loan were $998,573,770, $1,415,000,000 and 7.25%, respectively. In addition, the interest rate at period end on the Term Loan and Revolving Loan were 7.54% and 7.47%, respectively. The interest expense during the six months ended September 30, 2023, was $55,403,426. Commitment fees incurred are prepaid and amortized over the term of the loan. For the six months ended September 30, 2023, commitment fees were $1,624,608. Unused commitment fees for the six months ended September 30, 2023, were $529,000.

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. There were no secured borrowings outstanding as of September 30, 2023.

Senior Notes (the “Notes”)

On March 29, 2022, the Fund issued Series A Senior Secured 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. On August 4, 2023, the Fund issued Series K, Series L, Series M and Series N notes in a private placement to qualified institutional purchasers in the aggregate principal amount of $600 million with various maturities. 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.

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 7.19% to 7.71%.

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

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.

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 and Other Market Disruptions

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.

The Fund may also be adversely affected by uncertainties and events around the world, such as public health emergencies, terrorism, political developments, and changes in government policies, taxation, restrictions on foreign investment and currency repatriation, currency fluctuations and other developments in the laws and regulations of the countries in which it is invested.

3. Principal Risks (continued)

International war or conflicts (including Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and the Israel-Hamas war) and geopolitical events in foreign countries, along with instability in regions such as Asia, Eastern Europe and the Middle East, possible terrorist attacks in the United States or around the world, and other similar events could adversely affect the U.S. and foreign financial markets. As a result, whether or not the Fund invests in securities located in or with significant exposure to the countries directly affected, the value and liquidity of the Fund’s investments may be negatively impacted. Further, due to closures of certain markets and restrictions on trading certain securities, the value of certain securities held by the Fund could be significantly impacted.

LIBOR Discontinuation 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.

The ICE Benchmark Administration Limited, the administrator of LIBOR, ceased publishing most LIBOR tenors, including some U.S. dollar LIBOR tenors, on December 31, 2021, and ceased publishing the remaining and most liquid U.S. dollar LIBOR tenors on June 30, 2023. As a result, many market participants have transitioned to the use of alternative reference or benchmark rates prior to the applicable LIBOR publication cessation date. The UK Financial Conduct Authority has announced that it will require the publication of synthetic LIBOR for the one-month, three-month and six-month U.S. dollar LIBOR settings after June 30, 2023 through at least September 30, 2024.The U.S. Federal Reserve, based on the recommendations of the Alternative Reference Rate Committee (comprised of major derivative market participants and their regulators) of the New York Federal Reserve (NYFR), has begun publishing SOFR, which is intended to replace U.S. dollar LIBOR. Alternative reference rates for other currencies have also been announced or have already begun publication. Markets are slowly developing in response to these new rates.

Neither the effect of the LIBOR transition process nor its ultimate success can yet be known. Although the transition away from LIBOR has become increasingly well-defined, any potential effects of the transition away from LIBOR and other benchmark rates on financial markets, a fund or the financial instruments in which a fund invests can be difficult to ascertain. Not all existing LIBOR-based instruments may have alternative rate-setting provisions and there remains uncertainty regarding the willingness and ability of issuers to add alternative rate-setting provisions in certain existing instruments. Global regulators have advised market participants to cease entering into new contracts using LIBOR as a reference rate, and it is possible that investments in LIBOR-based instruments could invite regulatory scrutiny. In addition, a liquid market for newly-issued instruments that use a reference rate other than LIBOR still may be developing. All of the aforementioned may adversely affect the Fund’s performance or NAV.

Specifically, 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.

3. Principal Risks (continued)

SOFR RISK

SOFR is intended to be a broad measure of the cost of borrowing funds overnight in transactions that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury securities. SOFR is calculated based on transaction-level repo data collected from various sources. For each trading day, SOFR is calculated as a volume-weighted median rate derived from such data. SOFR is calculated and published by the NYFR. If data from a given source required by the NYFR to calculate SOFR is unavailable for any day, then the most recently available data for that segment will be used, with certain adjustments. If errors are discovered in the transaction data or the calculations underlying SOFR after its initial publication on a given day, SOFR may be republished at a later time that day. Rate revisions will be effected only on the day of initial publication and will be republished only if the change in the rate exceeds one basis point.

Because SOFR is a financing rate based on overnight secured funding transactions, it differs fundamentally from LIBOR. LIBOR was intended to be an unsecured rate that represents interbank funding costs for different short-term maturities or tenors. It was a forward-looking rate reflecting expectations regarding interest rates for the applicable tenor. Thus, LIBOR was intended to be sensitive, in certain respects, to bank credit risk and to term interest rate risk. In contrast, SOFR is a secured overnight rate reflecting the credit of U.S. Treasury securities as collateral. Thus, it is largely insensitive to credit-risk considerations and to short-term interest rate risks. SOFR is a transaction-based rate, and it has been more volatile than other benchmark or market rates, such as three-month LIBOR, during certain periods. For these reasons, among others, there is no assurance that SOFR, or rates derived from SOFR, will perform in the same or similar way as LIBOR would have performed at any time, and there is no assurance that SOFR-based rates will be a suitable substitute for LIBOR. SOFR has a limited history, having been first published in April 2018. The future performance of SOFR, and SOFR-based reference rates, cannot be predicted based on SOFR’s history or otherwise. Levels of SOFR in the future, including following the discontinuation of LIBOR, may bear little or no relation to historical levels of SOFR, LIBOR or other rates.

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.

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 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”). There are currently no sub-advisers managing assets of the Fund.

4. Investment Advisory and Other Agreements (continued)

For a period not to exceed three years from the date on which advisory fees are waived or Fund expenses were absorbed by the Investment Manager, the Investment Manager may recoup amounts waived or absorbed, provided it is able to effect such recoupment and remain in compliance with (a) the limitation on Fund expenses in effect at the time of the relevant reduction in advisory fees or payment of the Fund’s expenses, and (b) the limitation on Fund expenses at the time of the recoupment. For the six months ended September 30, 2023, the Investment Manager did not recover any previously waived expenses.

Foreside Fund Services, LLC serves as the Fund’s distributor; UMB Fund Services, Inc. (“UMBFS”) serves as the Fund’s fund accountant, transfer agent and administrator. For the six months ended September 30, 2023, the Fund’s allocated UMBFS fees are reported on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

An officer of the Fund is an employee of UMBFS. The Fund does not compensate officers affiliated with the Fund’s administrator. For the six months ended September 30, 2023, the Fund’s allocated fees incurred for trustees who are not affiliated with the Fund’s administrator are reported on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Vigilant Compliance, LLC provides Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”) services to the Fund. The Fund’s allocated fees incurred for CCO services for the six months ended September 30, 2023, are reported on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

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.

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.

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

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 six months ended September 30, 2023, purchases and sales of investments, excluding short-term investments, were $5,344,996,587 and $1,374,099,791 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 six months ended September 30, 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.

11. Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities

The FASB’s 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.

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.

(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.
