(1) This table summarizes the expenses of the Fund and is designed to help investors understand the costs and expenses they will bear, directly or indirectly, by investing in the Fund. For purposes of determining net assets in fee table calculations, derivatives are valued at fair value.

 

(2) For its provision of advisory services to the Fund, the Investment Adviser receives an annual Management Fee and Incentive Fee. The Management Fee is payable monthly in arrears, equal to 1.00% of the Fund’s net assets determined as of month-end. The Management Fee will be paid to the Investment Adviser before giving effect to any repurchase of Shares in the Fund effective as of that date, and will decrease the net profits or increase the net losses of the Fund. The Incentive Fee is calculated and payable monthly in arrears in an amount equal to 15.0% of the Fund’s realized “pre-incentive fee net investment income” for the immediately preceding month (the “Incentive Fee”). “Pre-incentive fee net investment income” is defined as interest income, dividend income and any other income accrued during the calendar month, minus the Fund’s operating expenses for the month (including the Management Fee, expenses payable to the Administrator, any interest expense and dividends paid on any issued and outstanding preferred shares but excluding the Incentive Fee, and any shareholder servicing and/or distribution fee). Payment of the Incentive Fee shall be subject to a hurdle rate, expressed as a rate of return on the Fund’s pre-incentive fee net investment income equal to 0.42% per month (or an annualized hurdle rate of 5%) (the “Hurdle Rate”), subject to a “catch up” feature, which allows the Investment Adviser to recover Incentive Fees that were previously limited by the Hurdle Rate.

 

(3) The Fund anticipates that it may have interest income that could result in the payment of an Incentive Fee to the Investment Adviser during certain periods. However, the Incentive Fee is based on the Fund’s performance and will not be paid unless the Fund achieves certain performance targets. The Fund expects the Incentive Fee to increase to the extent the Fund earns greater interest income through its investments. See “MANAGEMENT OF THE FUND — Incentive Fee” for a full explanation of how the Incentive Fee is calculated.

 

(4) “Fees and Interest Payments on Borrowed Funds” are estimated based on borrowings in the amount of 20% of the Fund’s average total assets of $75,000,000 and an annual interest rate of 5.37% payable on such borrowings. See “INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES AND STRATEGIES – Use of Leverage --Effects of Leverage.”

 

(5) Investors may pay a Shareholder Servicing Fee of up to 0.25% on an annualized basis of the average net assets of the Fund. All or a portion of such Shareholder Servicing Fee may be used to compensate financial industry professionals for providing ongoing shareholder services. See “SHAREHOLDER SERVICE PLAN.” Estimated Shareholder Servicing Fee expenses for the current fiscal year are 0.00%.

 

(6)

“Other Expenses” are based on estimated amounts for the current fiscal year and assumes average assets under management of $75,000,000, and includes estimated expenses of the Cayman Subsidiary. See “MANAGEMENT OF THE SUBSIDIARIES.”

 

(7)
In addition to the Fund’s direct expenses, the Fund indirectly bears a pro-rata share of the expenses of the underlying investment funds in which it invests. Private investment funds generally charge, in addition to management fees calculated as a percentage of the average NAV of the Fund’s investment, performance-based fees generally from 0% to 12.5% of the net capital appreciation in the private investment fund’s investment for the year or other measurement period, subject to loss carryforward provisions, as set forth in the respective private investment funds’ offering documents. Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses reflect the estimated fees that the Fund is expected to bear during the current fiscal year. In the future, these fees and expenses may be substantially higher or lower than reflected, because certain fees are based on the performance of the investment funds, which fluctuates over time. In addition, the Fund’s portfolio changes from time to time, which will result in different Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses. The “Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses” disclosed above, however, do not reflect any performance-based fees or allocations that are calculated solely on the realization and/or distribution of gains, or on the sum of such gains and unrealized appreciation of assets distributed in-kind, as such fees and allocations for a particular period may be unrelated to the cost of investing in the private investment funds.

 

(8) Total Annual Expenses differ from the ratios of expenses to average net assets shown in the financial statements included in the Fund’s annual report, which do not reflect (i) the portion of Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses that represent costs incurred at the Investment Fund level, as required to be disclosed in the above table; and (ii) the current expenses of the Fund.

 

(9) The Investment Adviser has entered into an expense limitation and reimbursement agreement (the “Expense Limitation and Reimbursement Agreement”) with the Fund, whereby the Investment Adviser 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, brokerage commissions, dividend and interest expenses on short sales, Incentive Fees, acquired fund fees and expenses, expenses incurred in connection with any merger or reorganization and extraordinary expenses, such as litigation expenses) do not exceed 2.00% of the average daily net assets of the Fund (the “Expense Limit”). For a period not to exceed three years from the date on which a Waiver is made, the Investment Adviser may recoup amounts waived or assumed, provided the Fund is able to effect such repayment and remain in compliance with the Expense Limit in effect at the time of the Waiver and the Expense Limit in effect at the time of the repayment. The Expense Limitation and Reimbursement Agreement may not be terminated by the Fund or the Investment Adviser until April 25, 2026. Thereafter, the Expense Limitation and Reimbursement Agreement will automatically renew for consecutive one-year terms. The Investment Adviser may terminate the Expense Limitation and Reimbursement Agreement upon 30 days’ advanced written notice to the other party.

EXAMPLE

 

You Would Pay the Following Expenses Based on a $1,000 Investment in the Fund, Assuming a 5% Annual Return:

 

1 Year     3 Years     5 Years     10 Years  
$ 45     $ 157     $ 267     $ 536  

 

The example is based on the annual fees and expenses set out in the table above and should not be considered a representation of future expenses. Actual expenses may be greater or less than those shown. Moreover, the rate of return of the Fund may be greater or less than the hypothetical 5% return used in the example. A greater rate of return than that used in the example would increase the dollar amount of the asset-based fees paid by the Fund, as well as the Incentive Fee.

Investment Objectives and Practices [Text Block]

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE AND STRATEGIES

 

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE

 

The Fund’s investment objective is to achieve total return through income and capital appreciation. There can be no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objective or that the Fund’s investment strategies will be successful.

 

The Fund’s investment objective is non-fundamental and may be changed by the Board without the approval of shareholders. The Fund will provide notice to Shareholders of such change.

 

INVESTMENT STRATEGIES AND INVESTMENT PROCESS

 

The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing across the full spectrum of structured and private credit.

 

Under normal market conditions, the Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by allocating at least 80% of its net assets, plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes, to a portfolio of private credit instruments. The 80% policy may be changed by the Board upon at least 60 days’ prior written notice to Shareholders. For the purpose of this policy, “private credit instruments” include, without limitation, those that are issued in private offerings or by private companies, including (i) privately negotiated and broadly syndicated corporate loans (including first-lien senior secured, second lien, unsecured and/or mezzanine debt), (ii) securities issued by asset-backed and similar securitization vehicles (such as collateralized loan obligations (CLOs)), (iii) other types of asset-backed fixed income securities, including securities backed by assets such as credit card receivables, student loans, automobile loans and fixed or floating rate bank loans and participations and (iv) regulatory capital relief investments (including, without limitation, significant risk transfer securities (SRTs)). The Fund also intends to leverage its investments, including (i) borrowing, (ii) swap agreements or other derivative instruments, (iii) use of short sales, (iv) entering into reverse repurchase transactions, or (v) a combination of these methods for purposes of obtaining leverage and liquidity, subject to the limits of the Investment Company Act. The Fund will focus on middle market companies (i.e., those having annual earnings, before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), of between $10 million and $200 million, generally with less than $2 billion of debt outstanding and issue sizes ranging from $100 million to $1 billion). The Fund is not limited in the industries in which it invests, although it will not concentrate its investments in any one industry or group of industries. It is anticipated that, under normal market conditions, the Fund will invest primarily in debt of companies domiciled in North America, predominantly within the U.S. The Investment Adviser intends to utilize a variety of non-bank or corporate lenders to source investment opportunities for the Fund. The Fund may invest directly in private credit instruments or indirectly without limit through registered investment companies, private investment funds and other investment vehicles that invest or trade in private credit instruments. The Fund may also invest directly through secondary market transactions.

 

The Investment Adviser targets investments that it considers undervalued. In selecting investments, the Investment Adviser considers maturity, yield and ratings information and opportunities for price appreciation among other criteria. In addition, it analyzes an investment’s collateral quality, credit support, structure, as applicable, in addition to market conditions. The Investment Adviser may sell investments if it is determined that any of the mentioned factors have changed materially from their previous analysis or that other factors indicate that an investment is no longer earning a return commensurate with its risk. It does not target any particular allocations to investment grade and non-investment grade fixed income investments. The Fund will primarily hold a combination of investment grade and non-investment grade debt and investments ranging from medium to longer term maturities, which may vary from time to time. While there are no specific criteria or target thresholds, the Investment Adviser attempts to diversify risks that arise from position sizes, geography, ratings, duration, deal structure and collateral values.

 

The Fund will invest across the full spectrum of structured and private credit, including (a)  privately negotiated and broadly syndicated corporate loans and CLOs; (b) other types of asset-backed fixed income securities, including securities backed by assets such as credit card receivables, student loans, automobile loans and fixed or floating rate bank loans and participations; and (c) SRT transactions.

 

Privately-Negotiated and Broadly Syndicated Corporate Loans. The Fund’s non-bank loan investments include direct loans to middle-market private companies that are privately originated and negotiated 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 (“BDCs”) and specialty finance companies. This primarily includes (a) first lien senior secured and unitranche loans, (b) second lien, unsecured, subordinated or mezzanine loans and structured credit, as well as broadly syndicated loans, club deals (generally investments made by a small group of investment firms). The Fund may invest in bank loans to middle market companies, including securities representing ownership or participation in a pool of such loans. The Fund also may invest in bank loans through assignments (whereby the Fund assumes the position of the lender to the borrower) or loan participation (whereby the Fund purchases all or a portion of the economic interest in a loan). These loans may include term loans and revolving loans, may pay interest at a fixed or floating rate and may be senior or subordinated. The Fund may make investments at different levels of a borrower’s capital structure or otherwise in different classes of a borrower’s securities, to the extent permitted by law. These investments include Unitranche/First-in-Last-Out ("FILO”) Loans and Debtor-In-Possesion (“DIP”) Loans.

 

Collateralized Loan Obligations. The Fund also invests in collateralized loan obligations (“CLOs”), which are backed by a pool of privately negotiated loans (direct lending) of middle market companies or broadly syndicated loans. The Fund intends to acquire interests in newly issued CLO equity tranches and may also from time to time acquire newly issued CLO junior debt tranches and previously issued CLO equity and junior debt tranches in secondary market transactions, depending on the applicable market conditions. The Fund may invest in minority interests in the equity tranche of a CLO. After the Fund reaches a size to make it feasible, the Investment Adviser also may seek opportunities to acquire interests in CLO equity tranches so that, either on a standalone basis or together with interests held by other accounts managed by certain affiliates of the Investment Adviser, the interests represent a majority interest in the equity tranche, subject to any restrictions on the Investment Adviser’s ability to invest alongside such other accounts. The categories of CLOs in which the Fund may invest include middle market loan CLOs, private credit CLOs, small and medium enterprise (SME) CLOs and commercial real estate (CRE) CLOs.

 

Regulatory Capital Relief Investments. Regulatory Capital Relief Investments are credit risk transfers (CRTs) or significant risk transfers (SRTs). These transactions, enable a bank or other issuer to transfer the credit risk associated with a pool of underlying obligations (or “reference assets”) to investors, such as the Fund, in order to obtain regulatory capital relief and/or risk relief on that portfolio. Regulatory capital relief investments are generally structured as a credit-linked note. The Fund intends to invest in credit-linked notes issued by large multi-national North American and European banks. These credit-linked notes may reference a variety of bank balance sheets assets, including large and SME corporate revolving credit facilities and term loans, CRE loans, auto loans, trade receivables and farm/agricultural loans. The Fund may enter into regulatory capital relief trades with banks and other financial institutions. Under these transactions, a third-party investor (e.g., the Fund), agrees to absorb losses on part of the bank's loan portfolio in exchange for a fee. The fee is negotiated based on the level of perceived credit protection the bank is receiving relative to the level of risk the investor is undertaking as a result of the transaction. In exchange for transferring the credit risk of these assets away from the bank's balance sheet, the bank receives capital relief from regulatory requirements without having to, for instance, sell assets. These trades allow the bank to reduce how much capital it must hold against such assets. Under any such trades into which the Fund enters, the Fund will be exposed to the credit risk of the underlying portfolio, and if the loans in the portfolio default -- which may be more likely if there is a general deterioration in credit markets -- the will make payments to the bank to cover the losses. There may be a risk that the international regulatory framework for banks (known as 'Basel III') of the Bank for International Settlements, when fully implemented, may discourage such regulatory capital relief trades and might force banks to unwind any existing transactions on all but the riskiest portfolios.

 

Seniority refers to where an instrument ranks in priority of payment. Senior secured debt is situated at the top of the capital structure, and typically has the first priority claim on the assets and cash flows of the company, followed by second lien secured debt, subordinated or mezzanine debt, preferred equity and finally common equity. Due to the priority of claims, an investment’s risk increases as it moves further down the capital structure. Investors are usually compensated for the risk associated with investments in the junior part of the capital structure, through higher interest payments or potentially higher capital appreciation.

 

Senior Secured Debt

 

Senior secured loans are situated at the top of a company’s capital structure. Because these loans have priority in payment, they carry the least amount of risk relative to other components of a company’s capital structure. Generally, senior secured loans are expected to have maturities of three to seven years, offer some form of amortization, and have first priority security interests in the assets of the borrower. Senior secured loans are typically floating rate instruments tied to a benchmark such as the prime rate or another benchmark rate; the benchmark rate is often subject to a minimum rate or “floor,” thereby offering protection in a declining interest rate environment, while preserving additional upside in an increasing rate environment.

 

Second Lien Secured Debt

 

Second lien secured loans are next in priority ranking to senior secured loans and have substantially the same maturities, collateral, and covenant structures as senior secured loans. Second lien secured loans, however, are granted a second priority security interest in the assets of the borrower. In return for this junior ranking, second lien secured loans generally offer higher yields relative to senior secured debt. These higher returns come in the form of higher interest and fees, and in some cases, the potential for equity participation through warrants. Generally, these loans carry a fixed or a floating rate over the prime rate or other benchmark rate.

 

Mezzanine Debt

 

Structurally, mezzanine loans usually rank subordinate in priority of payment to senior debt, such as senior bank debt, and are often unsecured. However, mezzanine loans rank senior to common and preferred equity in a borrower’s capital structure. Mezzanine debt is often used in leveraged buyout and real estate finance transactions. Typically, mezzanine loans have elements of both debt and equity instruments, offering the fixed returns in the form of interest payments associated with senior debt, while providing lenders an opportunity to participate in the capital appreciation of a borrower, if any, through an equity interest.

 

Unitranche/First-in-Last-Out ("FILO”) Loans

 

Unitranche loans are characterized by a hybrid loan structure that combines senior debt and subordinated debt into one facility bearing a blended interest rate. Under unitranche financing, one lender provides the entire loan with a single set of documents, which may provide a number of benefits to the borrower, including but not limited to, simplification of the documentation process, reduction of intercreditor risks and acceleration of timing since borrowers negotiate with one lender versus multiple lenders for tranches of debt governed by separate documentation.

 

In many cases, lenders will bifurcate a unitranche loan into first-in-first-out (“FIFO”) and FILO tranches. FILO loans provide incremental liquidity to borrowers since lenders are willing to lend against a portion of the additional asset value of the company that FIFO lenders are unwilling to advance. FILO loans are junior to FIFO loans in priority of payment. However, FIFO loans still receive the benefit of a first priority lien on a borrower’s assets.

 

Debtor-in-Possession Loans

 

DIP loans are made to companies entering the Chapter 11 bankruptcy process. DIP loans receive court approved super-priority status in a bankruptcy distribution plan, and assume a senior position on liens and security interests ahead of pre-petition claims. Traditionally, DIP loans are provided as a way to keep a company viable during the bankruptcy process so that it may reorganize, reposition itself, and repay creditors.

 

Wholly Owned Subsidiaries

 

The Fund may make investments through one or more direct and indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries (each a “Subsidiary” and collectively the “Subsidiaries”). The Fund may invest in FTEPCF Cayman Sub1 Ltd, a Subsidiary formed under the laws of the Cayman Islands (the “Cayman Subsidiary”). The Fund also may invest through one or more domestic Subsidiaries (the “Domestic Subsidiaries”). The Subsidiaries will be advised by the Investment Adviser and act as an investment vehicle in order to effect certain investments consistent with the Fund’s investment objectives and policies. See “MANAGEMENT OF THE SUBSIDIARIES.” Such Subsidiaries will not be registered under the Investment Company Act; however, the Fund will wholly own and control any Subsidiary. The Board of Trustees of the Fund (the “Board”) has oversight responsibility for the investment activities of the Fund, including its investment in any Subsidiary, and the Fund’s role as sole direct or indirect shareholder of any Subsidiary. To the extent applicable to the investment activities of a Subsidiary, the Subsidiary will follow the same compliance policies and procedures as the Fund. The Fund will “look through” any such Subsidiary to determine compliance with its investment policies. The Fund will also comply with Section 18 of the Investment Company Act governing capital structure and leverage on an aggregate basis with each Subsidiary so that the Fund treats a Subsidiary’s debt as its own for purposes of Section 18. Further, each Subsidiary will comply with the provisions of Section 17 of the Investment Company Act relating to affiliated transactions and custody. The Fund may seek to gain exposure to among other things certain newly-issued Regulation S securities through investments in the Cayman Subsidiary. Regulation S securities are securities of U.S. and non-U.S. issuers that are issued through private offerings without registration with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act. The Cayman Subsidiary (unlike the Fund) may invest without limitation in Regulation S securities.

 

Equity-Related Securities

 

While the Investment Adviser intends to focus on debt investments, from time to time, the Fund may receive consideration in the form of equity-related securities, such as warrants and options, in connection with the Fund’s debt investments, in order to enhance future potential returns.

 

Cash Management

 

It is expected that the Fund’s assets will not be fully invested at all times. The Fund may maintain a portion of its assets in cash, deposit, call or current accounts or invest in short-term instruments, such as short-term debt instruments, money market funds, U.S. government securities, certificates of deposit, bankers’ acceptances or similar cash equivalents, until such time when suitable investment opportunities become available, to meet the expense needs of the Fund and/or to fund repurchases or for such other purposes as may be determined by the Investment Adviser.

 

Co-Investment

 

The Investment Adviser intends to utilize a variety of non-bank and corporate lenders to source Loans. The Fund may also co-invest in loans alongside one or more other investment funds or investment vehicles managed, sponsored or advised by the Investment Adviser or its affiliates. The Fund is subject to certain limitations relating to co-investments and joint transactions with affiliates, which, in certain circumstances, may limit the Fund’s ability to make investments or enter into other transactions alongside other clients. The Investment Adviser and the Fund have received an exemptive order from the SEC that permits the Fund, including any Subsidiary, to participate in certain negotiated investments (each, a “17(d) investment”) alongside affiliates of the Investment Adviser (the “Order”). The Order is subject to certain terms and conditions, including (i) that a majority of the Trustees of the Board who have no financial interest in the 17(d) investment transaction and a majority of the Trustees of the Board who are not “interested persons,” as defined in the Investment Company Act, approve the 17(d) investment and (ii) that the price, terms and conditions of the 17(d) investment will be identical for each fund and Subsidiary participating pursuant to the exemptive relief. The Fund has applied for further exemptive relief that would eliminate certain of these conditions. There is no assurance that the Fund will receive such further exemptive relief, and if it is not able to do so, the Fund will continue to participate in 17(d) investments in compliance with the Order.

 

Temporary Defensive Measures

 

During temporary defensive periods, the Fund may deviate from its investment policies and objective. During such periods, the Fund may invest up to 100% of its total assets in cash or cash equivalents, including short- or intermediate-term U.S. Treasury securities, as well as other short-term investments, including high quality, short-term debt securities. There can be no assurance that such techniques will be successful. Accordingly, during such periods, the Fund may not achieve its investment objective.

 

No Restrictions on Investment Strategies

 

Unless otherwise specified, the investment policies and limitations of the Fund are not considered to be fundamental by the Fund and can be changed without a vote of the Shareholders. Certain investment restrictions specifically identified as such in the Statement of Additional Information (the “SAI”) are considered fundamental and may not be changed without approval by holders of a “majority of the outstanding voting securities” of the Fund. As defined in the Investment Company Act, when used with respect to particular Shares of the Fund, a “majority of the outstanding voting securities” means: (i) 67% or more of the Shares present at a meeting, if the holders of more than 50% of the Shares are present or represented by proxy; or (ii) more than 50% of the Shares, whichever is less.

 

The foregoing description represents a general summary of the Investment Adviser’s current approach to the Fund’s portfolio construction. Over time, markets change and the Investment Adviser will seek to capitalize on attractive opportunities wherever they might be. Depending on conditions and trends in securities markets and the economy generally, the Investment Adviser may employ other non-principal strategies or techniques that it considers appropriate and in the best interest of the Fund.

 

The Fund cannot guarantee that its investment objective will be achieved or that its strategies will be successful.

 

USE OF LEVERAGE

 

The Fund incurs leverage as a part of its investment strategy and intends to obtain leverage through (i) borrowing, (ii) swap agreements or other derivative instruments, (iii) use of short sales, (iv) entering into reverse repurchase transactions, or (v) a combination of these methods, subject to the limits of the Investment Company Act. The Fund may also invest in closed-end and open-end registered investment companies, private investment funds and other investment vehicles that may incur higher levels of leverage. Accordingly, the Fund, through these investments, may be exposed to higher levels of leverage than the Fund is permitted to, including a greater risk of loss with respect to such investments as a result of higher leverage employed by such entities.

 

With respect to reverse repurchase agreements or other similar financing transactions in particular, Rule 18f-4 permits a fund to enter into such transactions if the fund either (i) complies with the asset coverage requirements of Section 18 of the Investment Company Act, and combines the aggregate amount of indebtedness associated with all tender option bonds or similar financing with the aggregate amount of any other senior securities representing indebtedness when calculating the relevant asset coverage ratio, or (ii) treats all tender option bonds or similar financing transactions as derivatives transactions for all purposes under Rule 18f-4. The Fund intends to be a limited derivatives user under Rule 18f-4 of the Investment Company Act. As a limited derivatives user, the Fund’s derivatives exposure, excluding certain currency and interest rate hedging transactions, may not exceed 10% of its net assets. This restriction is not fundamental and may be changed by the Fund without a Shareholder vote. Limits or restrictions applicable to the counterparties or issuers, as applicable, with which the Fund may engage in derivative transactions could also limit or prevent the Fund from using certain instruments.

 

See “PRINCIPAL RISK FACTORS — BORROWING, USE OF LEVERAGE.”

 

Effects of Leverage.

 

Assuming the use of leverage in the amount of 20% of the Fund’s net assets and an annual interest rate on leverage of 4.25% payable on such leverage based on estimated market interest rates as of the date of this Memorandum, the additional income that the Fund must earn (net of estimated expenses related to leverage) in order to cover such interest payments is 0.85%. The Fund’s actual cost of leverage will be based on market interest rates at the time the Fund undertakes a leveraging strategy, and such actual cost of leverage maybe higher or lower than that assumed in the previous example.

 

The following table is furnished in response to requirements of the SEC. It is designed to illustrate the effect of leverage on total return on Shares, assuming investment portfolio total returns (comprised of income, net expenses and changes in the value of investments held in the Fund’s portfolio) of -10%, -5%, 0%, 5% and 10%. These assumed investment portfolio returns are hypothetical figures and are not necessarily indicative of what the Fund’s investment portfolio returns will be. In other words, the Fund’s actual returns may be greater or less than those appearing in the table below. The table further reflects the use of leverage representing approximately 20% of the Fund’s assets after such issuance and the Fund’s currently projected annual interest rate of 4.25%. See “PRINCIPAL RISK FACTORS — BORROWING, USE OF LEVERAGE.” The table does not reflect any offering costs of Shares.

 

Assumed Portfolio Return (Net of Expenses)     -10.00 %     -5.00 %     0.00 %     5.00 %     10.00 %
Corresponding Return to Shareholder     -12.85 %     -6.85 %     -0.85 %     5.15 %     11.15 %

 

Total return is composed of two elements — the dividends on Shares paid by the Fund (the amount of which is largely determined by the Fund’s net investment income after paying the cost of leverage) and realized and unrealized gains or losses on the value of the securities the Fund owns. As the table shows, leverage generally increases the return to Shareholders when portfolio return is greater than the costs of leverage and decreases return when the portfolio return is less than the costs of leverage.

     
Risk Factors [Table Text Block]

PRINCIPAL RISK FACTORS

 

All investments carry risks to some degree. The Fund cannot guarantee that its investment objective will be achieved or that its investment strategies will be successful. An investment in the Fund involves substantial risks, including the risk that the entire amount invested may be lost. Various other types of risks are also associated with investments in the Fund. Below is a list of principal risks of investing in the Fund. Different risks may be more significant at different times, depending on market conditions.

 

GENERAL RISKS

 

LIMITED Operating History. The Fund is a newly-organized closed-end management investment company that has a limited operating history and no public trading of its Shares. An investment in the Fund’s Shares should not constitute a complete investment program for any investor and involves a high degree of risk.

 

CLOSED-END FUND; LIMITED LIQUIDITY. The Fund has been organized as a non-diversified, closed-end management investment company and designed primarily for long-term investors. An investor should not invest in the Fund if the investor needs a liquid investment. Closed-end funds differ from open-end management investment companies (commonly known as mutual funds) in that investors in a closed-end fund do not have the right to redeem their shares on a daily basis. Unlike most closed-end funds, which typically list their shares on a securities exchange, the Fund does not intend to list the Shares for trading on any securities exchange, and the Fund does not expect any secondary market to develop for the Shares. Shares are considerably less liquid than shares of funds that trade on a stock exchange, or shares of open-end registered investment companies. At the discretion of the Board and provided that it is in the best interests of the Fund and Shareholders to do so, the Fund intends to provide a limited degree of liquidity to Shareholders by conducting tender offers of at least 3.5% of the Fund’s outstanding Shares every six months occurring on the last business day of June and December. The Board may determine not to conduct a tender offer. There can be no assurance that the Fund will conduct tender offers in any particular period and Shareholders may be unable to tender Shares for repurchase for the life of the Fund.

 

In considering whether to repurchase Shares during periods of financial market stress, the Board may offer to repurchase Shares at a discount to their prevailing NAV that appropriately reflects market conditions, subject to applicable law. Further, repurchases of Shares, if any, may be suspended, postponed or terminated by the Board under certain circumstances. See “TENDER/REPURCHASE PROCEDURES.” An investment in the Fund is suitable only for investors who can bear the risks associated with the limited liquidity of Shares and the underlying investments of the Fund. Also, because Shares are not listed on any securities exchange, the Fund is not required, and does not intend, to hold annual meetings of its Shareholders unless called for under the provisions of the Investment Company Act.

 

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. Although the Adviser follows a general policy of seeking to spread the Fund’s capital among multiple Investment Funds, the Adviser may depart from such policy from time to time and one or more Investment Funds may be allocated a relatively large percentage of the Fund’s assets. Consequently, if one or more Fund investments are allocated a relatively large percentage of the Fund’s assets, losses suffered by such Fund investments 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 investments. The Fund may also be more susceptible to any single economic or regulatory occurrence than a diversified investment company. However, the Fund will be subject to diversification requirements applicable to RICs under the Code.

 

Recent Market Circumstances. The value of the Fund’s investments may increase or decrease in response to expected, real or perceived economic, political or financial events in the U.S. or global markets. The frequency and magnitude of such changes in value cannot be predicted. Certain securities and other investments held by the Fund may experience increased volatility, illiquidity, or other potentially adverse effects in response to changing market conditions, inflation/deflation, changes in interest rates, lack of liquidity in the bond or equity markets, volatility in the equity markets. U.S. or global markets may be adversely affected by uncertainties and events or the threat or potential of one or more such events and developments in the U.S. and around the world, such as major cybersecurity events, geopolitical events (including wars, terror attacks, natural disasters, spread of infectious disease (including epidemics or pandemics) or other public health emergencies), social unrest, political developments, and changes in government policies, taxation, threatened or actual imposition of tariffs, restrictions on foreign investment and currency repatriation, currency fluctuations and developments in the laws and regulations in the U.S. and other countries, or other political, regulatory, economic and social developments, and developments that impact specific economic sectors, industries or segments of the market. Recently, the United States has enacted or proposed to enact significant new tariffs, and various federal agencies have been directed to further evaluate key aspects of U.S. trade policy, which could potentially lead to significant changes to current policies, treaties, and tariffs. Significant uncertainty continues to exist about the future relationship between the U.S. and other countries with respect to such trade policies, treaties and tariffs. These developments, or the perception that any of them could occur, may have a material adverse effect on global trade, in particular, trade between the impacted nations and the U.S.; the stability of global financial markets; and global economic conditions.

 

The Fund cannot predict the effects or likelihood of such events on the U.S. and global economies, the value of the Shares or the NAV of the Fund. The issuers of securities, including those held in the Fund’s portfolio, could be materially impacted by such events which may, in turn, negatively affect the value of such securities or such issuers’ ability to make interest payments or distributions to the Fund., These risks may be magnified if certain events or developments adversely interrupt the global supply chain; in these and other circumstances, such risks might affect companies worldwide due to increasingly interconnected global economies and financial markets.

 

Recent technological developments in, and the increasingly widespread use of, artificial intelligence technologies may pose risks to the Fund. For instance, the economy may be significantly impacted by the advanced development and increased regulation of artificial intelligence technologies. As artificial intelligence technologies are used more widely, the profitability and growth of Fund holdings may be impacted, which could significantly impact the overall performance of the Fund. The legal and regulatory frameworks within which artificial intelligence technologies operate continue to rapidly evolve, and it is not possible to predict the full extent of current or future risks related thereto.

 

GOVERNMENT INTERVENTION IN FINANCIAL MARKETS. The instability in the financial markets in the recent past led the U.S. Government and foreign governments to take a number of unprecedented actions designed to support certain financial institutions and segments of the financial markets that experienced extreme volatility, and in some cases a lack of liquidity. Future market conditions could lead to further such actions. See “PRINCIPAL RISK FACTORS — RECENT MARKET CIRCUMSTANCES” above. U.S. federal and state governments and foreign governments, their regulatory agencies or self-regulatory organizations may take additional actions that affect the regulation of the Fund's investments, in ways that are unforeseeable and on an “emergency” basis with little or no notice with the consequence that some market participants’ ability to continue to implement certain strategies or manage the risk of their outstanding positions will be suddenly and/or substantially eliminated or otherwise negatively implicated. Given the complexities of the global financial markets and the limited time frame within which governments have been able to take action, these interventions have sometimes been unclear in scope and application, resulting in confusion and uncertainty, which in itself has been materially detrimental to the efficient functioning of such markets as well as previously successful investment strategies. Decisions made by government policy makers could exacerbate any economic difficulties. Issuers might seek protection under the bankruptcy laws. Legislation or regulation may also change the way in which the Fund itself is regulated. Such legislation or regulation could limit or preclude the Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective.

 

FUND CAPITALIZATION RISK. There is a risk that the Fund may not raise capital sufficient to maintain profitability and meet its investment objective. An inability to raise sufficient capital may adversely affect the Fund’s diversification, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations, as well as its compliance with regulatory requirements and tax diversification requirements. The Fund could liquidate without Shareholder approval if it does not raise sufficient capital. The timing of such liquidation may not be favorable and could have negative tax consequences for Shareholders.

 

RISK OF INABILITY TO IDENTIFY SUFFICIENT NUMBER OF INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITIES. There can be no assurance that the Investment Adviser will be able to find suitable opportunities consistent with its investment approaches. The Investment Adviser may be unable to find a sufficient number of attractive opportunities to meet its investment objectives. Among other things, market conditions may limit the availability of investment opportunities and the competition for investment opportunities (including among other accounts managed by the Investment Adviser’s affiliates) may be high. Such limitations may cause delays in deploying the Fund’s capital and may negatively impact the Fund’s returns.

 

BORROWING; USE OF LEVERAGE. 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, 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 of the value of its total assets (including such indebtedness). The Fund may be required to dispose of assets on unfavorable terms if market fluctuations or other factors reduce the Fund’s asset coverage to less than the prescribed amount. The Fund intends to obtain leverage primarily through the use of reverse repurchase agreements, subject to the limits of the Investment Company Act. See “REVERSE REPURCHASE AGREEMENT RISK.

 

INFLATION RISK. Inflation risk is the risk that the value of assets or income from investments will be less in the future as inflation decreases the value of money. As inflation increases, the present value of the Fund’s assets and distributions may decline. This risk is more prevalent with respect to debt securities held by the Fund. Inflation creates uncertainty over the future real value (after inflation) of an investment. Inflation rates may change frequently and drastically as a result of various factors, including unexpected shifts in the domestic or global economy, and the Fund’s investments may not keep pace with inflation, which may result in losses to Fund investors.

 

LEGAL, TAX AND REGULATORY. Legal, tax and regulatory changes could occur that may materially adversely affect the Fund.

 

The financial services industry generally has been the subject of increasing legislative and regulatory scrutiny. Such scrutiny may increase the Fund’s compliance, administrative and other related burdens and costs as well as regulatory oversight or involvement in the Fund’s business. There can be no assurances that the Fund will not in the future be subject to regulatory review. The effects of any regulatory changes or developments on the Fund may affect the manner in which it is managed and may be substantial and adverse.

 

The current presidential administration has called for and is seeking to quickly enact significant changes to U.S. fiscal, tax, trade, healthcare, immigration, foreign, and government regulatory policy. Significant uncertainty exists with respect to legislation, regulation and government policy at the federal level, as well as the state and local levels. Recent events have created a climate of heightened uncertainty and introduced new and difficult-to-quantify macroeconomic and political risks with potentially far-reaching implications. There has been a corresponding meaningful increase in the uncertainty surrounding interest rates, inflation, foreign exchange rates, trade volumes and fiscal and monetary policy. To the extent the U.S. Congress or the current presidential administration implements changes to U.S. policy, those changes may impact, among other things, the U.S. and global economy, international trade and relations, unemployment, immigration, corporate taxes, healthcare, the U.S. regulatory environment, inflation and other areas. Although the Fund cannot predict the impact, if any, of these changes to the Fund’s business, they could adversely affect the Fund’s business, financial condition, operating results and cash flows. Until the Fund knows what policy changes are made and how those changes impact the Fund’s business and the business of the Fund’s competitors over the long term, the Fund will not know if, overall, the Fund will benefit from them or be negatively affected by them.

 

NON-QUALIFICATION AS A RIC. If for any taxable year the Fund were to fail to qualify as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of Subtitle A, Chapter 1, of the Code, all of its taxable income would be subject to tax at regular corporate rates without any deduction for distributions. To qualify as a RIC, the Fund must meet three numerical requirements each year regarding (i) the diversification of the assets it holds, (ii) the income it earns, and (iii) the amount of taxable income that it distributes to Shareholders. These requirements and certain additional tax risks associated with investments in the Fund are discussed in “TAXES” in this Memorandum.

 

TAX RISK. The Fund intends to elect and to qualify each year to be treated as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code. If, in any year, the Fund fails to qualify as a RIC under the applicable tax laws, the Fund would be taxed as an ordinary corporation. In order to maintain its RIC qualification, the Fund must distribute at least 90% of its income annually. Depending upon the circumstances, some assets may need to be sold to fund distributions. This process of recognizing deemed income and selling assets to fund distributions may accelerate the time at which shareholders receive cash but may reduce the overall return on funds employed. In the event that a shareholder purchases Shares of the Fund shortly before a distribution by the Fund, the entire distribution may be taxable to the shareholder even though a portion of the distribution effectively represents a return of the purchase price.

 

DEPENDENCE ON THE INVESTMENT ADVISER. The Investment Adviser has its discretion to make all investment decisions for the Fund and therefore the Investment Adviser is responsible for the selection of, and allocation and reallocation of the Fund’s assets among, the Fund’s investments. The success of the Fund depends on the Investment Adviser’s ability to select and construct an appropriate investment portfolio. The Investment Adviser’s judgment may be incorrect, and subjective decisions made by the Investment Adviser may cause the Fund to incur losses or to miss profit opportunities on which it could otherwise have capitalized. Any loss or turnover of the Investment Adviser’s personnel responsible for making investment decisions may have a material adverse effect on the operations and performance of the Fund.

 

TEMPORARY DEFENSIVE STRATEGIES RISK. When the Investment Adviser anticipates unusual market or other conditions, the Fund may temporarily depart from its principal investment strategies as a defensive measure and invest all or a portion of its assets in cash or cash equivalents or accept lower current income from short-term investments rather than investing in high yielding long-term securities. In such a case, Shareholders of the Fund may be adversely affected and the Fund may not pursue or achieve its investment objective.

 

CONFLICT OF INTEREST RISK. The Investment Adviser and the portfolio managers of the Fund have interests which may conflict with the interests of the Fund. In particular, the Investment Adviser manages and/or advises other investment funds or accounts with the same or similar investment objectives and strategies as the Fund. As a result, the Investment Adviser and the Fund’s portfolio managers may devote unequal time and attention to the management of the Fund and those other funds and accounts and may not be able to formulate as complete a strategy or identify equally attractive investment opportunities as might be the case if they were to devote substantially more attention to the management of the Fund. The Investment Adviser and the Fund’s portfolio managers may identify a limited investment opportunity that may be suitable for multiple funds and accounts, and the opportunity may be allocated among these several funds and accounts, which may limit the Fund’s ability to take full advantage of the investment opportunity. Additionally, transaction orders may be aggregated for multiple accounts for purpose of execution, which may cause the price or brokerage costs to be less favorable to the Fund than if similar transactions were not being executed concurrently for other accounts. Furthermore, it is theoretically possible that a portfolio manager could use the information obtained from managing a fund or account to the advantage of other funds or accounts under management, and also theoretically possible that actions could be taken (or not taken) to the detriment of the Fund. At times, a portfolio manager may determine that an investment opportunity may be appropriate for only some of the funds and accounts for which he or she exercises investment responsibility or may decide that certain of the funds and accounts should take differing positions with respect to a particular security. In these cases, the portfolio manager may place separate transactions for one or more funds or accounts which may affect the market price of the security or the execution of the transaction, or both, to the detriment or benefit of one or more other funds and accounts. For example, a portfolio manager may determine that it would be in the interest of another account to sell a security that the Fund holds, potentially resulting in a decrease in the market value of the security held by the Fund.

 

Conflicts potentially limiting the Fund’s investment opportunities may also arise when the Fund and other clients of the Investment Adviser invest in, or even conduct research relating to, different parts of an issuer’s capital structure, such as when the Fund owns senior debt obligations of an issuer and other clients own junior tranches of the same issuer. In such circumstances, decisions over whether to trigger an event of default, over the terms of any workout, or how to exit an investment may result in conflicts of interest. In order to minimize such conflicts, a portfolio manager may avoid certain investment opportunities that would potentially give rise to conflicts with other clients of the Investment Adviser or result in the Investment Adviser receiving material, non-public information, or the Investment Adviser may enact internal procedures designed to minimize such conflicts, which could have the effect of limiting the Fund’s investment opportunities. Additionally, if the Investment Adviser acquires material non-public confidential information in connection with its business activities for other clients, a portfolio manager or other investment personnel may be restricted from purchasing securities or selling certain securities for the Fund or other clients.

 

The portfolio managers also may engage in cross trades between funds and accounts, may select brokers or dealers to execute securities transactions based in part on brokerage and research services provided to the Investment Adviser which may not benefit all funds and accounts equally and may receive different amounts of financial or other benefits for managing different funds and accounts. The Investment Adviser and its affiliates may provide more services to some types of funds and accounts than others.

 

The Investment Adviser and its affiliates, including the Placement Agent, have engaged or may engage in one or more of the transactions described herein with one or more of its affiliates. None of the transactions among the Investment Adviser or any of its affiliates has been or will be negotiated or conducted on an arm’s-length basis. The interrelationships of these parties and the absence of arm’s-length dealings create potential conflicts of interest. The principal transactions with which the Investment Adviser engages with its affiliates are (a) engaging the Placement Agent; and (b) fees payable to its affiliates have not been negotiated at arms’ length.

 

The Fund and the Investment Adviser have adopted policies and procedures that address the foregoing potential conflicts of interest, including policies and procedures to address the allocation of investment opportunities, execution of portfolio transactions, personal trading by employees and other potential conflicts of interest that are designed to ensure that all accounts of the Investment Adviser are treated equitably. There is no guarantee that the policies and procedures adopted by the Investment Adviser and the Fund will be able to identify or mitigate the conflicts of interest that arise between the Fund and any other investment funds or accounts that the Investment Adviser may manage or advise from time to time. For further information on potential conflicts of interest, see “INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AND OTHER SERVICESConflicts of Interest” in the SAI.

 

OPERATIONAL RISK. The Fund is subject to risks arising from various operational factors, including, but not limited to, human error, processing and communication errors, errors of the Fund’s service providers, counterparties or other third-parties, failed or inadequate processes and technology or systems failures. The Fund relies on third-parties for a range of services, including custody. Any delay or failure relating to engaging or maintaining such service providers may affect the Fund’s ability to meet its investment objective. Although the Fund and the Investment Adviser seek to reduce these operational risks through controls and procedures, there is no way to completely protect against such risks.

 

TECHNOLOGY RISK. The Fund and its service providers and markets generally are susceptible to potential operational risks related to intentional and unintentional events that may cause the Fund or a service provider to lose proprietary information, suffer data corruption or lose operational capacity. There can be no guarantee that any risk management systems established by the Fund, its service providers, or issuers of the securities in which the Fund invests to reduce technology and cyber security risks will succeed, and the Fund cannot control such systems put in place by service providers, issuers or other third parties whose operations may affect the Fund. Recent technological developments in, and the increasingly widespread use of, artificial intelligence technologies may pose risks to the Fund. For instance, the economy may be significantly impacted by the advanced development and increased regulation of artificial intelligence technologies. As artificial intelligence technologies are used more widely, the profitability and growth of Fund holdings may be impacted, which could significantly impact the overall performance of the Fund. The legal and regulatory frameworks within which artificial intelligence technologies operate continue to rapidly evolve, and it is not possible to predict the full extent of current or future risks related thereto.

 

CYBERSECURITY RISK. Cybersecurity refers to the combination of technologies, processes and procedures established to protect information technology systems and data from unauthorized access, attack or damage. The Fund and its affiliates and third-party service providers are subject to cybersecurity risks. Cyber incidents include, but are not limited to, gaining unauthorized access to digital systems (e.g., through “hacking” or malicious software coding) for purposes of misappropriating assets or sensitive information, corrupting data or causing operational disruption. Cyberattacks may also be carried out in a manner that does not require gaining unauthorized access, such as causing denial-of-service attacks on websites (i.e., efforts to make network services unavailable to intended users). Cyber security risks have significantly increased in recent years and the Fund could suffer such losses in the future. Computer systems, software and networks may be vulnerable to unauthorized access, computer viruses or other malicious code and other events that could have a security impact. The use of artificial intelligence and machine learning could exacerbate these risks or result in cyber security incidents that implicate personal data. If one or more of such events occur, this potentially could jeopardize confidential and other information, including nonpublic personal information and sensitive business data, processed and stored in, and transmitted through, computer systems and networks, or otherwise cause interruptions or malfunctions in the Fund’s operations or its respective affiliates and third-party service providers. This could result in significant losses, reputational damage, litigation, regulatory fines or penalties, or otherwise adversely affect the Fund’s business, financial condition or results of operations. Privacy and information security laws and regulation changes, and compliance with those changes, may result in cost increases due to system changes and the development of new administrative processes. In addition, the Fund may be required to expend significant additional resources to modify the Fund’s protective measures and to investigate and remediate vulnerabilities or other exposures arising from operational and security risks. While the Fund’s service providers have established business continuity plans in the event of, and risk management systems to prevent, such cyber incidents, there are inherent limitations in such plans and systems including the possibility that certain risks have not been identified. Furthermore, the Fund cannot control the cyber security plans and systems put in place by its service providers or any other third parties whose operations may affect a Fund or its shareholders

 

PRIVATE OFFERING EXEMPTION. This offering has not been registered under the Securities Act, in reliance, in part, on the exemptive provisions of Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506(c) of Regulation D promulgated thereunder. Pursuant to Rule 506(c) all investors in a Fund must be “accredited investors” as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D, and the Fund, the Placement Agent or financial intermediaries (i.e., sub-placement agents) that enter into an agreement with the Placement Agent for the sale of Shares must take reasonable steps to verify that each prospective investor or existing Shareholder, as applicable, qualifies as an accredited investor at the time Shares are purchased. The Fund may utilize both the “safe harbor” verification provisions of Rule 506(c) and/or the “principle based methods of verification” under Rule 506(c)that allow for verification on grounds that are reasonable in the context of the particular facts and circumstances of each purchaser and transaction (“Principle Based Verification”). While the Fund intends to comply with Rule 506(c) at all times, it may be difficult for the Fund to ensure full compliance as SEC guidance on compliance with the applicable verification methodologies evolves and regulatory actions in this area increase over time. Failure of the Fund to comply with Rule 506(c) or any other securities rules or regulations applicable to the offering of Shares could result in regulatory enforcement actions and/or monetary claims against the Fund that could affect the ability of the Fund to operate and cause losses to the Fund and its Shareholders.

 

INVESTMENT-RELATED RISKS

 

INVESTMENT AND MARKET RISK. An investment in the Shares represents an indirect investment in the securities owned by the Fund. The value of these securities, like other market investments, may move up or down, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably. Accordingly, an investment in the Fund’s Shares is subject to investment risk, including the possible loss of the entire amount that you invest. Your Shares at any point in time may be worth less than your original investment.

 

GENERAL ECONOMIC AND MARKET CONDITIONS. The success of the Fund’s investment program may be affected by general economic and market conditions, such as interest rates, availability of credit, inflation rates, economic uncertainty, changes in laws, trade policies, treaties and tariffs, and national and international political circumstances. These factors may affect the level and volatility of securities prices and the liquidity of investments held by the Fund. Unexpected volatility or illiquidity could impair the Fund’s profitability or result in losses.

 

Interest rates in the United States and many other countries have risen in recent periods and may continue to rise in the future. See “INTEREST RATE RISK” for more information. Additionally, as a result of increasing interest rates, reserves held by banks and other financial institutions in bonds and other debt securities could face a significant decline in value relative to deposits and liabilities, which coupled with general economic headwinds resulting from a changing interest rate environment, creates liquidity pressures at such institutions. As a result, certain sectors of the credit markets could experience significant declines in liquidity, and it is possible that the Fund will not be able to manage this risk effectively.

 

General Credit Risks. The value of any underlying collateral, the creditworthiness of the borrower and the priority of the lien are each of great importance. The Investment Adviser cannot guarantee the adequacy of the protection of the Fund’s interests, including the validity or enforceability of the loan and the maintenance of the anticipated priority and perfection of the applicable security interests. Furthermore, the Investment Adviser cannot assure that claims may not be asserted that might interfere with enforcement of the rights of the holder(s) of the relevant debt. In the event of a foreclosure, the liquidation proceeds upon sale of such asset may not satisfy the entire outstanding balance of principal and interest on the loan, resulting in a loss to the Fund. Any costs or delays involved in the effectuation of a foreclosure of the loan or a liquidation of the underlying property will further reduce the proceeds and thus increase the loss. The strategies utilized by the Investment Adviser may require accurate and detailed credit analysis of issuers, and there can be no assurance that such analysis will be accurate or complete. Credit risk is also greater to the extent that the Fund uses leverage in connection with the management of the Fund.

 

Rating Agencies Risk. Rating agencies may fail to make timely changes in credit ratings and an issuer’s current financial condition may be better or worse than a rating indicates. In addition, rating agencies are subject to an inherent conflict of interest because they are often compensated by the same issuers whose securities they grade.

 

Counterparty Risk. The Fund is expected to establish relationships to obtain financing, derivative intermediation and prime brokerage services that permit the Fund to invest in any variety of markets or asset classes over time. However, there can be no assurance that the Fund will be able to establish or maintain such relationships. An inability to establish or maintain such relationships could limit the Fund’s investment activities, create losses, preclude the Fund from engaging in certain transactions or prevent the Fund from investing at optimal rates and terms. Moreover, a disruption in the financing, derivative intermediation and prime brokerage services provided by any such relationships could have a significant impact on the Fund’s business due to the Fund’s reliance on such counterparties.

 

If there is a default by a counterparty, the Fund under most normal circumstances will have contractual remedies pursuant to the agreements related to the transaction. However, exercising such contractual rights may involve delays or costs which could result in the net asset value of the Fund being less than if the Fund had not entered into the transaction. Furthermore, there is a risk that any of such counterparties could become insolvent and/or the subject of insolvency proceedings. In such case, the recovery of the Fund’s securities from such counterparty or the payment of claims therefor may be significantly delayed and the Fund may recover substantially less than the full value of the securities entrusted to such counterparty.

 

In addition, the Fund may use counterparties located in jurisdictions outside the United States. Such local counterparties usually are subject to laws and regulations in non-U.S. jurisdictions that are designed to protect customers in the event of their insolvency. However, the practical effect of these laws and their application to the Fund’s assets are subject to substantial limitations and uncertainties. Because of the range of possible factual scenarios involving the insolvency of a counterparty and the potentially large number of entities and jurisdictions that may be involved, it is impossible to generalize about the effect of such an insolvency on the Fund and its assets. Investors should assume that the insolvency of any such counterparty would result in significant delays in recovering the Fund’s securities from or the payment of claims therefor by such counterparty and a loss to the Fund, which could be material.

 

Default Risk. The ability of the Fund to generate income through its loan investments is dependent upon payments being made by the borrowers underlying such loan investments. If a borrower is unable to make its payments on a loan, the Fund may be greatly limited in its ability to recover any outstanding principal and interest under such loan.

 

A portion of the loans in which the Fund may invest may not be guaranteed or insured by a third party and may not be backed by any governmental authority. The Fund may need to rely on the collection efforts of third parties, which also may be limited in their ability to collect on defaulted loans. The Fund may not have direct recourse against borrowers, may not be able to contact a borrower about a loan, and may not be able to pursue borrowers to collect payment under loans. To the extent a loan is secured, there can be no assurance as to the amount of any funds that may be realized from recovering and liquidating any collateral or the timing of such recovery and liquidation and hence there is no assurance that sufficient funds (or, possibly, any funds) will be available to offset any payment defaults that occur under the loans. Loans are credit obligations of the borrowers and the terms of certain loans may not restrict the borrowers from incurring additional debt. If a borrower incurs additional debt after obtaining a loan through a platform, the additional debt may adversely affect the borrower’s creditworthiness generally, and could result in the financial distress, insolvency or bankruptcy of the borrower. This circumstance would ultimately impair the ability of that borrower to make payments on its loans and the Fund’s ability to receive the principal and interest payments that it expects to receive on such loan. To the extent borrowers incur other indebtedness that is secured, the ability of the secured creditors to exercise remedies against the assets of that borrower may impair the borrower’s ability to repay its loans or it may impair a third party’s ability to collect, on behalf of the Fund, on the loan upon default. To the extent that a loan is unsecured, borrowers may choose to repay obligations under other indebtedness (such as loans obtained from traditional lending sources) before repaying a loan facilitated through a direct lending platform because the borrowers have no collateral at risk. The Fund will generally not be made aware of any additional debt incurred by a borrower or whether such debt is secured.

 

If a borrower files for bankruptcy, any pending collection actions will automatically be put on hold and further collection action will not be permitted absent court approval. It is possible that a borrower’s liability on its loan will be discharged in bankruptcy. In most cases involving the bankruptcy of a borrower with an unsecured loan, unsecured creditors will receive only a fraction of any amount outstanding on the loan, if anything.

 

Bankruptcy Considerations. The Fund may hold investments in obligors that are experiencing, or are expected to experience, severe financial difficulties, which may never be overcome and may lead to uncertain outcomes. The bankruptcy courts of the various jurisdictions in which any such obligor may file bankruptcy would have broad discretion to control the terms of a reorganization, and political factors may be of significant importance in high profile bankruptcies or bankruptcies in particular jurisdictions.

 

There are a number of significant risks inherent in the bankruptcy process. While creditors are generally given an opportunity to object to significant actions, there can be no assurance that a bankruptcy court, in the exercise of its broad powers, would not approve actions that would be contrary to the interests of the Fund. For example, in order to protect net operating losses of an obligor in bankruptcy, a bankruptcy court might take any number of actions, including prohibiting or limiting the transfer of claims held by certain classes of creditors. Such a prohibition could have a material adverse effect on the value of certain investments made by the Fund. For example, the Fund might be prohibited from liquidating investments which are declining in value.

 

In addition, under certain circumstances, a lender who has inappropriately exercised control of the management and policies of a obligor may have their claims subordinated or disallowed or may be found liable for damages suffered by parties as a result of such actions. In addition, under certain circumstances, payments to the Fund and distributions by the Fund may be reclaimed if any such payment or distribution is later determined to have been a fraudulent conveyance, a preferential payment or similar transaction under applicable bankruptcy or other insolvency laws. Furthermore, investments may be adversely affected by statutes related to, among other things, fraudulent conveyances, voidable preferences, lender liability or the bankruptcy court’s discretionary power to disallow, subordinate or disenfranchise particular claims or re-characterize investments made in the form of debt as equity contributions.

 

The possibility of litigation between the participants to a reorganization is another consideration that makes any evaluation of the outcome of an investment uncertain. Such uncertainties may also be increased by legal or other factors that limit the ability of the Investment Adviser to obtain reliable or timely information concerning material developments affecting an obligor or that may lengthen a reorganization or liquidation proceeding.

 

INTEREST RATE RISK. The Fund is subject to the risks of changes in interest rates. A decline in interest rates could reduce the amount of current income the Fund is able to achieve from interest on fixed-income securities, investments in bank loans and participations, convertible debt and the proceeds of short sales. An increase in interest rates could reduce the value of any fixed income securities, and convertible securities owned by the Fund. To the extent that the cash flow from a fixed income security is known in advance, the present value (i.e., discounted value) of that cash flow decreases as interest rates increase; to the extent that the cash flow is contingent, the dollar value of the payment may be linked to then prevailing interest rates. Moreover, the value of many fixed income securities depends on the shape of the yield curve, not just on a single interest rate. Thus, for example, a callable cash flow, the coupons of which depend on a short rate such as the Secured Overnight Financial Rate Data (“SOFR”), may shorten (i.e., be called away) if the long rate decreases. In this way, such securities are exposed to the difference between long rates and short rates. The Fund may also invest in floating rate securities. The value of these investments is closely tied to the absolute levels of such rates, or the market’s perception of anticipated changes in those rates. This introduces additional risk factors related to the movements in specific interest rates that may be difficult or impossible to hedge, and that also interact in a complex fashion with prepayment risks.

 

A wide variety of factors can cause interest rates or yields of U.S. Treasury securities or other types of bonds to rise (e.g., central bank monetary policies, inflation rates, general economic conditions, reduced market demand for low yielding investments, etc.). The risks associated with changing interest rates are heightened under current market conditions given that interest rates in the United States and many other countries have fluctuated in recent periods and may continue to change in the foreseeable future.

 

To the extent the Fund or an investment fund borrows money to finance its investments, the Fund’s or an investment fund’s performance will depend, in part, upon the difference between the rate at which it borrows funds and the rate at which it invests those funds. In periods of rising interest rates, the Fund’s cost of funds could increase. Adverse developments resulting from changes in interest rates could have a material adverse effect on the Fund’s or an investment fund’s financial condition and results of operations.

 

In addition, a decline in the prices of the debt the Fund or an investment fund owns could adversely affect the Fund’s net asset value. Changes in market interest rates could also affect the ability of operating companies in which the Fund or an investment fund invests to service debt, which could materially impact the Fund or an investment fund in which the Fund may invest, thus impacting the Fund.

 

SECURITIES BELIEVED TO BE UNDERVALUED OR INCORRECTLY VALUED. Securities that the Investment Adviser believes are fundamentally undervalued or incorrectly valued may not ultimately be valued in the capital markets at prices and/or within the time frame the Investment Adviser anticipates. As a result, the Fund may lose all or substantially all of its investment in such a security.

 

ILLIQUID PORTFOLIO INVESTMENTS. The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or other restrictions on transfer or for which no liquid market exists. The Fund may make investments that may become less liquid in response to market developments or geopolitical events such as sanctions, trading halts or wars, or adverse investor perceptions. The market prices, if any, for such investments tend to be volatile and the Fund may not be able to sell them when the Investment Adviser desires to do so or to realize what the Investment Adviser perceives to be their fair value in the event of a sale. The sale of restricted and illiquid investments often requires more time and results in higher brokerage charges or dealer discounts and other selling expenses than does the sale of securities eligible for trading on national securities exchanges or in the over the counter markets. Restricted securities may sell at prices that are lower than similar securities that are not subject to restrictions on resale.

 

EXTENSION RISK. Rising interest rates tend to extend the duration of securities, making them more sensitive to changes in interest rates. The value of longer-term securities generally changes more in response to changes in interest rates than shorter-term securities. As a result, in a period of rising interest rates, securities may exhibit additional volatility and may lose value.

 

PREPAYMENT RISK. When interest rates decline, fixed income securities and bank loans and participations with stated interest rates may have their principal paid earlier than expected. This may result in the Fund having to reinvest that money at lower prevailing interest rates, which can reduce the returns of the Fund.

 

OTHER INVESTMENT COMPANIES. The Fund may invest in the securities of other investment companies to the extent that such investments are consistent with the Fund’s investment objectives and permissible under the Investment Company Act. Under one provision of the Investment Company Act, the Fund may not acquire the securities of other investment companies if, as a result, (i) more than 10% of the Fund’s total assets would be invested in securities of other investment companies, (ii) such purchase would result in more than 3% of the total outstanding voting securities of any one investment company being held by the Fund or (iii) more than 5% of the Fund’s total assets would be invested in any one investment company. In some instances, the Fund may invest in an investment company in excess of these limits. For example, the Fund may invest in other registered investment companies, such as mutual funds, closed-end funds and ETFs, and in business development companies (“BDCs”) in excess of the statutory limits imposed by the Investment Company Act in reliance on Rule 12d1-4 under the Investment Company Act. These investments would be subject to the applicable conditions of Rule 12d1-4, which in part would affect or otherwise impose certain limits on the investments and operations of the underlying fund. Accordingly, if the Fund serves as an “underlying fund” to another investment company, the Fund’s ability to invest in other investment companies, private funds and other investment vehicles may be limited and, under these circumstances, the Fund’s investments in other investment companies, private funds and other investment vehicles will be consistent with applicable law and/or exemptive relief obtained from the SEC.

 

VALUATION RISK. Unlike publicly traded common stock, which trades on national exchanges, there is no central place or exchange for shares or interests in some of the Fund’s investments to trade. Similarly, investments held by the Fund may also not be traded on an exchange or central marketplace. Due to the lack of centralized information and trading, the valuation of such investments may carry more risk than that of common stock. Uncertainties in the conditions of the financial and other markets, incomplete or unreliable reference data, human error, lack of transparency and inconsistency of valuation models and processes may lead to inaccurate asset pricing. In addition, other market participants may value securities differently than the Fund. As a result, the Fund may be subject to the risk that when an instrument is sold in the market, the amount received by the Fund is less than the value of such instruments carried on such fund’s books.

 

The Fund may value its investments at fair value. In general, fair value represents a good faith approximation of the current value of an asset. Shareholders should recognize that fair value pricing involve various judgments and consideration of factors that may be subjective and inexact. As a result, there can be no assurance that fair value priced assets will not result in future adjustments to the prices of securities or other assets, or that fair value pricing will reflect a price that the Fund is able to obtain upon sale. It is also possible that the fair value determined for a security or other asset will be materially different from quoted or published prices, from the prices used by others for the same security or other asset and/or from the value that actually could be or is realized upon the sale of that security or other asset. For example, the Fund’s NAV could be adversely affected if the Fund’s determinations regarding the fair value of the Fund’s investments were materially higher than the values that the Fund ultimately realizes upon the disposal of such investments. In addition, valuation for illiquid assets may require more research than for more liquid investments and elements of judgment may play a greater role in valuation in such cases than for investments with a more active secondary market because there is less reliable objective data available.

 

There may not exist readily available market quotations for certain investments of the Fund. The most relevant information may often be provided by the issuer of such investments, which information could be extremely limited and outdated, and it may be difficult or impossible to confirm or review the accuracy of such information. Further, the issuer of such investments may face a conflict of interest in providing information or valuations to the Fund.

 

STRATEGY RISKS

 

Investment in Middle Market Companies. The Fund plans to invest in debt of lower middle market companies. Investing in middle market companies involves a number of significant risks. Such companies may: have limited financial resources and may be unable to meet their obligations under their debt securities that the Fund holds, which may be accompanied by a deterioration in the value of any collateral and a reduction in the likelihood of the Fund realizing any guarantees the Fund may have obtained in connection with its investment; typically have shorter operating histories, narrower product lines and smaller market shares than larger businesses, which tend to render them more vulnerable to competitors’ actions and market conditions, as well as general economic downturns; are more likely to depend on the management talents and efforts of a small group of persons such that, the death, disability, resignation or termination of one or more of these persons could have a material adverse impact on the stability of the company and their ability to repay their debts; generally have less predictable operating results, may from time to time be parties to litigation, may be engaged in rapidly changing businesses with products subject to a substantial risk of obsolescence, and may require substantial additional capital to support their operations, finance expansion or maintain their competitive position; and may have difficulty accessing the capital markets to meet future capital needs, which may limit their ability to grow or to repay their outstanding indebtedness upon maturity.

 

CO-INVESTMENT RISKS. Co-investments involve risks not present in investments where third-party co-investors are not involved, including the possibility that a third-party co-investor may at any time have financial difficulties resulting in a negative impact on such investment, may have economic or business interests or goals that are inconsistent with those of the Fund, or may be in a position to take (or block) action in a manner contrary to the Fund’s investment objectives. In addition, the Fund may in certain circumstances be liable for actions of the third-party co-investors. Furthermore, if a co-investor defaults on its funding obligations, the Fund may be required to make up the shortfall and/or be subject to other penalties under the terms of the applicable co-investment.

 

It may also be difficult for the Fund to sell or otherwise dispose its interests in a co-investment. If control over a co-investment is shared with another person, deadlocks could result which could delay the execution of the business plan for such investment, require the Fund to engage in a buy-sell of the venture with the co-investor or conduct the forced sale of such investment or otherwise adversely affect such investment’s returns or value. As a result, the Fund may be unable to fully realize its expected return on any such co-investment.

 

Although the Investment Adviser will monitor the performance of each co-investment made by the Fund, there can be no assurance that any Investment Adviser will be able to manage a co-investment successfully.

 

The Investment Company Act imposes significant limits on co-investments with affiliates of the Fund. The Investment Adviser and the Fund have obtained an exemptive order from the SEC that permits the Fund, including any Subsidiary, to participate in certain negotiated investments (each, a “17(d) investment”) alongside affiliates of the Investment Adviser (the “Order”). The Order is subject to certain terms and conditions, including (i) that a majority of the Trustees of the Board who have no financial interest in the 17(d) investment transaction and a majority of the Trustees of the Board who are not “interested persons,” as defined in the Investment Company Act, approve the 17(d) investment and (ii) that the price, terms and conditions of the 17(d) investment will be identical for each fund and Subsidiary participating pursuant to the exemptive relief. Additionally, third parties, such as the investment managers of primary investments, may not prioritize an allocation to the Fund or a Subsidiary when faced with a more established pool of capital also competing for allocation. Ultimately, an inability to receive the desired allocation to certain investments could represent a risk to the Fund’s ability to achieve the desired investment returns. The Fund has applied for further exemptive relief that would eliminate certain of the conditions of the Order. There is no assurance that the Fund will receive such further exemptive relief, and if it is not able to do so, the Fund will continue to participate in 17(d) investments in compliance with the Order.

 

SYNTHETIC INVESTMENTS RISK. The Fund may invest in synthetic investments, including SRT securities and credit risk transfer securities, which are fixed- or floating-rate unsecured general obligations issued by banks or other financial institutions, or acquire interests in lease agreements that have the general characteristics of loans and are treated as loans for withholding tax purposes. In addition to the credit risks associated with the applicable reference assets, the Fund will usually have a contractual relationship only with the counterparty of such synthetic investment, and not with the reference obligor of the reference asset. Accordingly, the Fund will generally have no right to directly enforce compliance by the reference obligor with the terms of the reference asset nor will it have any rights of setoff against the reference obligor or rights with respect to the reference asset. The Fund will not directly benefit from the collateral supporting the reference asset and will not have the benefit of the remedies that would normally be available to a holder of such reference asset. In addition, in the event of the insolvency of the counterparty, the Fund may be treated as a general creditor of such counterparty, and will not have any claim with respect to the reference asset.

 

Asset-Backed Securities Risks. Asset-backed securities are created by the grouping of certain governmental, government related and private loans, receivables and other non- mortgage 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.

 

Investors in asset-backed securities bear the credit risk of the assets/collateral. Tranches are categorized as senior, mezzanine, and subordinated/equity, according to their degree of credit risk. If there are defaults or the collateral otherwise underperforms, scheduled payments to senior tranches take precedence over those of mezzanine tranches, and scheduled payments to mezzanine tranches take precedence over those to subordinated/equity tranches. Senior and mezzanine tranches are typically rated, with the former receiving S&P Global Ratings (“S&P”) ratings of A to AAA and the latter receiving ratings of B to BBB. The ratings reflect both the credit quality of underlying collateral as well as how much protection a given tranche is afforded by tranches that are subordinate to it.

 

Because the loans held in the pool often may be prepaid without penalty or premium, asset-backed securities can be subject to higher prepayment risks than most other types of debt instruments.

 

Prepayments may result in a capital loss to the Fund. Securities purchased at a market discount from their stated principal amount may accelerate the recognition of interest income by the Fund, which would be taxed as ordinary income when distributed to the shareholders. The accelerated income recognition is reflected in an increase in the basis of the securities, which result in a capital loss when such securities are prepaid for less than the basis of the securities.

 

The credit characteristics of asset-backed securities also differ in a number of respects from those of traditional debt securities. The credit quality of most asset-backed securities depends primarily upon the credit quality of the assets/collateral underlying such securities, how well the entity issuing the securities is insulated from the credit risk of the originator or any other affiliated entities, and the amount and quality of any credit enhancement to such securities.

 

Bank Debt Transactions. The Fund may invest in bank loans and participations, including first-lien, second-lien and unitranche loans. Bank loans are generally debt instruments that are secured by the assets of a borrower. Investing in bank loans involves risks that are additional to, and different from, those relating to investments in other types of debt and fixed-income securities. Special risks associated with investments in bank loans and participations include (i) the possible invalidation of an investment transaction as a fraudulent conveyance under relevant creditors’ rights laws, (ii) so-called lender-liability claims by the issuer of the obligations, (iii) environmental liabilities that may arise with respect to collateral securing the obligations, and (iv) limitations on the ability of the Fund to directly enforce its rights with respect to participations. Successful claims in respect of such matters may reduce the cash flow and/or market value of the Fund’s investment.

 

Collateralized Loan Obligations (“CLOs”) and Collateralized Debt Obligations (“CDOs”). The Fund may invest in CLOs and 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 SPV 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.

 

Investors in CLOs and CDOs bear the credit risk of the assets/collateral. Tranches are categorized as senior, mezzanine, and subordinated/equity, according to their degree of credit risk. If there are defaults or the CDO’s collateral otherwise underperforms, scheduled payments to senior tranches take precedence over those of mezzanine tranches, and scheduled payments to mezzanine tranches take precedence over those to subordinated/equity tranches. Senior and mezzanine tranches are typically rated, with the former receiving S&P Global Ratings (“S&P”) ratings of A to AAA and the latter receiving ratings of B to BBB. The ratings reflect both the credit quality of underlying collateral as well as how much protection a given tranche is afforded by tranches that are subordinate to it.

 

Because the loans held in the pool often may be prepaid without penalty or premium, CLOs and CDOs can be subject to higher prepayment risks than most other types of debt instruments. Prepayments may result in a capital loss to the Fund to the extent that the prepaid securities purchased at a market discount from their stated principal amount will accelerate the recognition of interest income by the Fund, which would be taxed as ordinary income when distributed to the Shareholders. The credit characteristics of CLOs and CDOs also differ in a number of respects from those of traditional debt securities. The credit quality of most CLOs and CDOs depends primarily upon the credit quality of the assets/collateral underlying such securities, how well the entity issuing the securities is insulated from the credit risk of the originator or any other affiliated entities, and the amount and quality of any credit enhancement to such securities.

 

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. The Fund’s investments in (i) CLOs, (ii) CDOs, and (iii) warehouses, which are financing structures created prior to and in anticipation of CLO or CDO closings and issuing securities and are intended to aggregate direct loans, corporate loans and/or other debt obligations that may be used to form the basis of CLO or CDO vehicles (“Warehouses”), in each case structured as 3(c)(1) or 3(c)(7) funds, are not included for purposes of the Fund’s 15% limitation on private investment funds.

 

In addition to the typical risks associated with fixed-income securities and asset-backed securities, CLOs and CDOs carry other risks including, but not limited to: (i) the possibility that distributions from collateral securities will not be adequate to make interest or other payments; (ii) the risk that the collateral may default, decline in value or quality, or be downgraded by a rating agency; (iii) the Fund may invest in tranches of CLOs and CDOs that are subordinate to other tranches, diminishing the likelihood of payment; (iv) the structure and complexity of the transaction and the legal documents could lead to disputes with the issuer or unexpected investment results; (v) risk of forced “fire sale” liquidation due to technical defaults such as coverage test failures; and (vi) the manager of the CLO or CDO may perform poorly.

 

REVERSE REPURCHASE AGREEMENT RISK. The Fund intends to enter into reverse repurchase transactions with banks and securities dealers. A reverse repurchase transaction is a repurchase transaction in which the Fund is the seller of, rather than the investor in, securities or other assets and agrees to repurchase them at a date certain or on demand. Use of a reverse repurchase transaction may be preferable to a regular sale and later repurchase of securities or other assets because it avoids certain market risks and transaction costs. Reverse repurchase transactions involve the risk that the market value of securities and/or other assets purchased by the Fund with the proceeds received by the Fund in connection with such reverse repurchase transactions may decline below the market value of the securities the Fund is obligated to repurchase under such transactions. They also involve the risk that the counterparty may liquidate the securities delivered to it by the Fund under the reverse repurchase agreement following the occurrence of an event of default by the Fund under the reverse repurchase agreement. At the time when the Fund enters into a reverse repurchase transaction, liquid securities (e.g., cash, U.S. Government securities or other “high grade” debt obligations) of the Fund having a value at least as great as the purchase price of the securities to be purchased will be segregated on the books of the Fund throughout the period of the obligation. The use of these investment strategies may increase net asset value fluctuation.

 

Structured Products. The CLOs, other CDOs and credit-linked notes in which the Fund may invest are structured products. Holders of structured products bear risks of the underlying assets and are subject to counterparty risk.

 

The Fund may have the right to receive payments only from the structured product and generally does not have direct rights against the issuer or the entity that sold the assets to be securitized. While certain structured products enable the investor to acquire interests in a pool of securities without the brokerage and other expenses associated with directly holding the same securities, investors in structured products generally pay their share of the structured product’s administrative and other expenses. Although it is difficult to predict whether the prices of assets underlying structured products will rise or fall, these prices (and, therefore, the prices of structured products) will be influenced by the same types of political and economic events that affect issuers of securities and capital markets generally. If the issuer of a structured product uses shorter-term financing to purchase longer-term securities, the issuer may be forced to sell its securities at below-market prices if it experiences difficulty in obtaining short-term financing, which may adversely affect the value of the structured products owned by the Fund.

 

Certain structured products may be thinly traded or have a limited trading market. CLOs, CDOs and credit-linked notes are typically privately offered and sold. As a result, investments in structured products may be characterized by the Fund as illiquid securities. In addition to the general risks associated with fixed-income securities, structured products carry additional risks, including, but not limited to: (i) the possibility that distributions from collateral securities will not be adequate to make interest or other payments; (ii) the quality of the collateral may decline in value or default; (iii) the possibility that the investments in structured products are subordinate to other classes or tranches thereof; (iv) the complex structure of the security may not be fully understood at the time of investment and may produce disputes with the issuer or unexpected investment results; and (iv) a forced “fire sale” liquidation may occur due to technical defaults such as coverage test failures and (vi) the manager of the CLO or CDO may perform poorly.

 

First Lien Senior Secured Loans, Second Lien Senior Secured Loans and Unitranche Debt. When the Fund invests, directly or indirectly, in first lien senior secured loans, second lien senior secured loans, and unitranche debt of portfolio companies, the Fund will generally seek to take a security interest in the available assets of those portfolio companies, including the equity interests of the portfolio companies’ subsidiaries. There is a risk that the collateral securing these loans may decrease in value over time or lose its entire value, may be difficult to sell in a timely manner, may be difficult to appraise and may fluctuate in value based upon the success of the business and market conditions, including as a result of the inability of the portfolio company to raise additional capital. To the extent a debt investment is collateralized by the securities of a portfolio company’s subsidiaries, such securities may lose some or all of their value in the event of the bankruptcy or insolvency of the portfolio company. Also, in some circumstances, the Fund’s lien may be contractually or structurally subordinated to claims of other creditors. In addition, deterioration in a portfolio company’s financial condition and prospects, including its inability to raise additional capital, may be accompanied by deterioration in the value of the collateral for the loan. Loans that are under- collateralized involve a greater risk of loss. Consequently, the fact that a loan is secured does not guarantee that the Fund will receive principal and interest payments according to the loan’s terms, or at all, or that the Fund will be able to collect on the loan should the remedies be enforced. Finally, particularly with respect to a unitranche debt structure, unitranche debt will generally have higher leverage levels than a standard first lien term loan.

 

Mezzanine Investments. The Fund may, directly or indirectly, invest in mezzanine loans. Structurally, mezzanine loans usually rank subordinate in priority of payment to senior debt, such as senior bank debt, and are often unsecured. However, mezzanine loans rank senior to common and preferred equity in a borrower’s capital structure. Mezzanine debt is often used in leveraged buyout and real estate finance transactions. Typically, mezzanine loans have elements of both debt and equity instruments, offering the fixed returns in the form of interest payments associated with senior debt, while providing lenders an opportunity to participate in the capital appreciation of a borrower, if any, through an equity interest. This equity interest typically takes the form of warrants. Due to their higher risk profile and often less restrictive covenants as compared to senior loans, mezzanine loans generally earn a higher return than senior secured loans. The warrants associated with mezzanine loans are typically detachable, which allows lenders to receive repayment of their principal on an agreed amortization schedule while retaining their equity interest in the borrower. Mezzanine loans also may include a “put” feature, which permits the holder to sell its equity interest back to the borrower at a price determined through an agreed-upon formula. Mezzanine investments may be issued with or without registration rights. Similar to other high yield securities, maturities of mezzanine investments are typically seven to ten years, but the expected average life is significantly shorter at three to six years. Mezzanine investments are usually unsecured and subordinate to other debt obligations of an issuer.

 

Secured Debt. Secured debt holds the most senior position in the capital structure of a borrower. Secured debt in most circumstances is fully collateralized by assets of the borrower. Thus, it is generally repaid before unsecured bank loans, corporate bonds, subordinated debt, trade creditors, and preferred or common stockholders. However, there is a risk that the collateral securing the Fund’s loans may decrease in value over time, may be difficult to sell in a timely manner, may be difficult to appraise, and may fluctuate in value based upon the success of the business and market conditions, including as a result of the inability of the borrower to raise additional capital. Also, substantial increases in interest rates may cause an increase in loan defaults as borrowers may lack resources to meet higher debt service requirements. In some circumstances, the Fund’s security interest could be subordinated to claims of other creditors. In addition, any deterioration in a borrower’s financial condition and prospects, including any inability on its part to raise additional capital, may result in the deterioration in the value of the related collateral. Consequently, the fact that debt is secured does not guarantee that the Fund will receive principal and interest payments according to the investment terms or at all, or that the Fund will be able to collect on the investment should the Fund be forced to enforce its remedies. Moreover, the security for the Fund’s investments in secured debt may not be recognized for a variety of reasons, including the failure to make required filings by lenders, trustees or other responsible parties and, as a result, the Fund may not have priority over other creditors as anticipated.

 

Secured debt usually includes restrictive covenants, which must be maintained by the borrower. The Fund may have an obligation with respect to certain senior secured term loan investments to make additional loans, including delayed draw term loans and revolving facilities, upon demand by the borrower. Such instruments, unlike certain bonds, usually do not have call protection. This means that such interests, while having a stated term, may be prepaid, often without penalty. The rate of such prepayments may be affected by, among other things, general business and economic conditions, as well as the financial status of the borrower. Prepayment would cause the actual duration of a senior loan to be shorter than its stated maturity.

 

Secured debt typically will be secured by pledges of collateral from the borrower in the form of tangible and intangible assets. In some instances, the Fund may invest in secured debt that is secured only by stock of the borrower or its Subsidiaries or affiliates. The value of the collateral may decline below the principal amount of the senior secured term loans subsequent to an investment by the Fund.

 

Unsecured Loans. The Fund may make unsecured loans to borrowers, meaning that such loans will not benefit from any interest in collateral of such borrowers. Liens on such a borrower’s collateral, if any, will secure the borrower’s obligations under its outstanding secured debt and may secure certain future debt that is permitted to be incurred by the borrower under its secured loan agreements. The holders of obligations secured by such liens will generally control the liquidation of, and be entitled to receive proceeds from, any realization of such collateral to repay their obligations in full before the Fund. In addition, the value of such collateral in the event of liquidation will depend on market and economic conditions, the availability of buyers and other factors. There can be no assurance that the proceeds, if any, from sales of such collateral would be sufficient to satisfy the Fund’s unsecured loan obligations after payment in full of all secured loan obligations. If such proceeds were not sufficient to repay the outstanding secured loan obligations, then the Fund’s unsecured claims generally would rank equally with the unpaid portion of such secured creditors’ claims against the borrower’s remaining assets, if any.

 

LOW CREDIT QUALITY SECURITIES. The Fund is permitted to invest in particularly risky investments that also may offer the potential for correspondingly high returns. As a result, the Fund may lose all or substantially all of its investment in any particular instance. There is no minimum credit standard as a prerequisite to an investment in any security. Debt securities, including bank loans and participations, may be less than investment grade and may be considered to be “junk bonds” or be distressed or “special situations” with heightened risk of loss and/or liquidity. “Junk bonds” are considered by the rating agencies to be predominately speculative and may involve major risk exposures such as: (i) vulnerability to economic downturns and changes in interest rates; (ii) sensitivity to adverse economic changes and corporate developments; (iii) redemption or call provisions that may be exercised at inopportune times; and (iv) difficulty in accurately valuing or disposing of such securities. Such securities may rank junior to other outstanding securities and obligations of the issuer, all or a significant portion of whose debt securities may be secured by substantially all of the issuer’s assets. Moreover, the Fund may invest in securities that are not protected by financial covenants or limitations on additional indebtedness.

 

Debtor-in-Possession (“DIP”) Loans. From time to time, the Fund may invest in or extend loans to companies that have filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. These debtor-in- possession or DIP loans are most often revolving working-capital facilities put into place at the outset of a Chapter 11 case to provide the debtor with both immediate cash and the ongoing working capital that will be required during the reorganization process. While such loans are generally less risky than many other types of loans as a result of their seniority in the debtor’s capital structure and because their terms have been approved by a federal bankruptcy court order, it is possible that the debtor’s reorganization efforts may fail and the proceeds of the ensuing liquidation of the DIP lender’s collateral might be insufficient to repay in full the DIP loan.

 

“COVENANT-LITE” LOANS RISK. Although most of the Fund’s loan investments are expected to include both incurrence and maintenance-based covenants, there may be instances in which the Fund invests in covenant-lite loans, which means the obligation contains fewer maintenance covenants than other obligations, or no maintenance covenants, and may not include terms that allow the lender to monitor the performance of the borrower and declare a default if certain criteria are breached. An investment by the Fund in a covenant-lite loan may potentially hinder the Fund’s ability to reprice credit risk associated with the issuer and reduce the Fund’s ability to restructure a problematic loan and mitigate potential loss. As a result, the Fund’s exposure to losses may be increased, which could result in an adverse impact on the Fund’s revenues, net income and NAV.

 

In liquidation (both in and out of bankruptcy) and other forms of corporate reorganization, there exists the risk that the reorganization either will be unsuccessful (due to, for example, failure to obtain requisite approvals), will be delayed (for example, until various liabilities, actual or contingent, have been satisfied) or will result in a distribution of cash or a new security the value of which will be less than the purchase price to the Fund of the security in respect to which such distribution was made.

 

In certain transactions, the Fund may not be “hedged” against market fluctuations, or, in liquidation situations, may not accurately value the assets of the company being liquidated. This can result in losses, even if the proposed transaction is consummated.

 

DISTRESSED SECURITIES. Certain of the companies in whose securities the Fund may invest may be in transition, out of favor, financially leveraged or troubled, or potentially troubled, and may be or have recently been involved in major strategic actions, restructurings, bankruptcy, reorganization or liquidation. These may also be securities that are rated in the lower rating categories by one or more nationally recognized statistical rating organizations (for example, Ca or lower by Moody’s and CC or lower by S&P or Fitch) or, if unrated, are in the judgment of the investment manager of equivalent quality. These characteristics of these companies can cause their securities to be particularly risky, although they also may offer the potential for high returns. These companies’ securities may be considered speculative, and the ability of the companies to pay their debts on schedule could be affected by adverse interest rate movements, changes in the general economic factors affecting a particular industry or specific developments within the companies. Such investments can result in significant or even total losses. In addition, the markets for distressed investment assets are frequently illiquid.

 

Syndications and/or Transfer of Debt Instruments. The Fund indirectly will originate and/or acquire loans and other assets. The Fund may also, from time to time, purchase loans or other assets (including participation interests or other indirect economic interests) that have been originated by one or more other accounts or from other unaffiliated parties and/or trading in the secondary market. The Fund expects to originate or purchase such debt assets in certain circumstances with the intent of syndicating and/or otherwise transferring or offering to transfer a significant portion thereof (including, without limitation, corresponding portions of outstanding principal and future interest, and a corresponding amount of unamortized fees), including to one or more other accounts. In such instances, the Fund will bear the risk of any decline in value prior to any syndication and/or other transfer to other accounts or third parties, as well as the risk of inability to syndicate or otherwise transfer such loans or other assets or such amount thereof as originally intended (and including as a result of any such loans not being approved by such independent committee of certain other accounts to which they are offered, if applicable), which could result in the Fund owning a greater interest than originally anticipated.

 

Assignments and Participations. The Fund may occasionally acquire and hold interests in loans either directly (by purchase from the issuer or by assignment) or indirectly (by way of participation). Holders of participation interests are subject to additional risks not applicable to a holder of a direct interest in a loan. The purchaser of an assignment of a loan obligation typically succeeds to all the rights and obligations of the selling institution and becomes a lender under the loan or credit agreement with respect to the loan obligation. As a purchaser of an assignment, the Fund generally will have the same voting rights as other lenders under the applicable loan agreement. Assignments are, however, arranged through private negotiations between assignees and assignors, and in certain cases the rights and obligations acquired by the purchaser of an assignment may differ from, and be more limited than, those held by the assigning selling institution.

 

RISKS RELATING TO SECONDARY INVESTMENTS. The Fund may, on occasion, acquire loans in the secondary market. In many cases, the economic, financial and other information available to and used by the Investment Adviser in selecting and structuring such secondary investments may be incomplete or unreliable. Valuations of secondary investments may be difficult since there generally will be no established market for such interests. The Fund may not have the opportunity to negotiate the terms of secondary investments, including any special rights and privileges. Moreover, the purchase price of secondary investments will be subject to negotiation with the sellers of such interests and may, in certain cases, include the Fund’s assumption of certain contingent liabilities resulting from activity that transpired prior to the secondary investment. The overall performance of a secondary investment will depend in part on the accuracy of the information available to the Investment Adviser, the acquisition price paid by the Fund for such secondary investment and the structure of such acquisitions and the Fund’s ultimate exposure to any assumed liabilities.

 

The Fund may have the opportunity to acquire a portfolio of secondary investments from a seller on an “all or nothing” basis. Certain secondary investments in such a portfolio may be less attractive than others, and certain of the sponsors of such secondary investments may be more familiar to the Investment Adviser than others or may be more experienced or highly regarded than others. It may not be possible for the Fund to carve out from such purchases those investments which the Investment Adviser considers less attractive for commercial, tax, legal or other reasons.

 

Sellers in certain secondary market transactions might require that the Investment Adviser complete its investment analysis and come to a decision within a relatively short time. In such cases, the information available at the time of an investment decision may be limited, and the Investment Adviser may not have access to the detailed information necessary for a thorough evaluation of the investment opportunity.

 

FOLLOW-ON INVESTMENTS. The Fund may be called upon to provide follow-on funding for its portfolio companies or have the opportunity to increase its investment in portfolio companies. There can be no assurance that the Fund will wish to make such follow-on investments or that the Fund will have sufficient capital to do so. Any decision not to make follow-on investments or the inability to make them may have a substantial negative impact on a portfolio company in need of such an investment or may diminish the Fund’s proportionate ownership in such portfolio company and thus its ability to influence such portfolio company’s future development.

 

PARTICIPATION ON CREDITORS’ COMMITTEES. The Fund may participate on committees formed by creditors to negotiate the management of financially troubled companies that may or may not be in bankruptcy or the Fund may seek to negotiate directly with the debtors with respect to restructuring issues. If the Fund does join a creditors’ committee, the participants of the committee would be interested in obtaining an outcome that is in their respective individual best interests and there can be no assurance of obtaining results most favorable to the Fund in such proceedings. By participating on such committees, the Fund may be deemed to have duties to other creditors represented by the committees, which might thereby expose the Fund to liability to such other creditors who disagree with the Fund’s actions.

 

LENDER LIABILITY; EQUITABLE SUBORDINATION. A number of judicial decisions have upheld judgments of obligors against lending institutions on the basis of various evolving legal theories, collectively termed “lender liability.” Generally, lender liability is founded on the premise that a lender has violated a duty (whether implied or contractual) of good faith, commercial reasonableness and fair dealing or a similar duty owed to the obligor or has assumed an excessive degree of control over the obligor resulting in the creation of a fiduciary duty owed to the obligor or its other creditors or equityholders. Because of the nature of the Fund’s assets, the Fund may be subject to claims of lender liability.

 

In addition, under certain legal principles that in some cases form the basis for lender liability claims, if a lender, bondholder or other creditor (a) intentionally takes an action that results in the undercapitalization of a obligor to the detriment of other creditors of such obligor, (b) engages in other inequitable conduct to the detriment of such other creditors, (c) engages in fraud with respect to, or makes misrepresentations to, such other creditors or (d) uses its influence as a equityholder to dominate or control an obligor to the detriment of other creditors of such obligor, a court may elect to subordinate the claim of the offending lender, bondholder or other creditor to the claims of the disadvantaged creditor or creditors, a remedy called “equitable subordination.” Because of its nature, the Fund’s assets may be subject to claims of equitable subordination.

 

Since the Fund and/or affiliates of, or persons related to, the Investment Adviser may hold equity or other interests in obligors of the Fund’s assets, the Fund could be exposed to claims for equitable subordination, lender liability or both based on such equity or other holdings.

 

CLOSED-END FUND RISK. The Fund may invest in investment funds that are closed-end investment companies registered under the Investment Company Act. The shares of many closed-end funds, after their initial public offering, frequently trade at a price-per-share that is less than the NAV per share, the difference representing the “market discount” of such shares. A relative lack of secondary market purchasers for closed-end fund shares also may contribute to such shares trading at a market discount.

 

CAYMAN SUBSIDIARY INVESTMENT RISK. The Fund may make investments through the Cayman Subsidiary. By investing in the Cayman Subsidiary, the Fund is indirectly exposed to the risks associated with the Cayman Subsidiary’s investments. The investments held by the Cayman Subsidiary are subject to the same risks that apply to investments if held directly by the Fund. These risks are described elsewhere in this Prospectus.

 

The Subsidiary is not registered under the Investment Company Act, and, unless otherwise noted in this Prospectus, is not subject to all the investor protections of the Investment Company Act. However, the Fund wholly owns and controls the Cayman Subsidiary, making it unlikely that the Cayman Subsidiary will take action contrary to the interests of the Fund and its shareholders. The Board has oversight responsibility for the investment activities of the Fund, including its investment in the Cayman Subsidiary, and the Fund's role as sole shareholder of the Cayman Subsidiary. The Cayman Subsidiary will be subject to the same investment restrictions and limitations, and follow the same compliance policies and procedures, as the Fund.

 

Changes in the laws of the United States and/or the Cayman Islands could result in the inability of the Fund and/or the Cayman Subsidiary to operate as described in this Prospectus and in the SAI and could adversely affect the Fund. For example, the Cayman Islands does not currently impose any income, corporate or capital gains tax, estate duty, inheritance tax, gift tax or withholding tax on the Cayman Subsidiary. If Cayman Islands law changes such that the Cayman Subsidiary must pay Cayman Islands taxes, Fund shareholders would likely suffer decreased investment returns.

 

The Cayman Subsidiary will be disregarded as an entity separate from the Fund for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Accordingly, the assets and activities of the Cayman Subsidiary, as well as its income, gain, loss and deduction, will be directly attributed to the Fund. If the Cayman Subsidiary earns income that is not qualifying income, the Fund will be treated as earning income that is not qualifying income for purposes of the Fund remaining qualified as a RIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

 

REGULATION S SECURITIES. The Fund may invest in the securities of U.S. and non-U.S. issuers that are issued through private offerings without registration with the SEC pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act. Offerings of Regulation S securities may be conducted outside of the United States. Because Regulation S securities are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale, certain Regulation S securities may be considered illiquid. Although Regulation S securities may be resold in offshore or privately negotiated transactions, the price realized from these sales could be less than those originally paid by the Fund.

 

LIQUIDITY CONSTRAINTS OF INVESTMENT FUNDS. Since the Fund may make additional investments in or affect withdrawals from an investment fund only at certain times pursuant to limitations set forth in the governing documents of the investment fund, the Fund from time to time may have to invest a greater portion of its assets temporarily in money market securities than it otherwise might wish to invest and may have to borrow money to repurchase Shares. The redemption or withdrawal provisions regarding the investment funds vary from fund to fund. Therefore, the Fund may not be able to withdraw its investment in an investment fund promptly after it has made a decision to do so. Some investment funds may impose early redemption fees while others may not. This may adversely affect the Fund’s investment return or increase the Fund’s expenses and limit the Fund’s ability to make offers to repurchase Shares from Shareholders. Some investment funds may be permitted to redeem their interests in-kind. Thus, upon the Fund’s withdrawal of all or a portion of its interest in such an investment fund, it may receive securities that are illiquid or difficult to value. In these circumstances, the Investment Adviser may choose to hold these securities or to seek to dispose of these securities in a manner that is in the best interests of the Fund. Limitations on the Fund’s ability to withdraw its assets from investment funds may, as a result, limit the Fund’s ability to repurchase Shares. For example, some investment funds may impose lock-up periods prior to allowing withdrawals, which can be for up to two years or longer from the date of the Fund’s investment. After expiration of the lock-up period, withdrawals may be permitted only on a limited basis, such as semi-annually or annually. It is possible that, from time to time, a source of funds to repurchase Shares may be withdrawals from investment funds, the application of these lock-ups and other withdrawal limitations, such as gates or suspension provisions, may limit the Fund’s ability to tender its Shares for repurchase.

 

MULTIPLE LEVELS OF FEES AND EXPENSES. Although in many cases investor access to the investment funds may be limited or unavailable, an investor who meets the conditions imposed by an investment fund may be able to invest directly with the investment fund. By investing in investment funds indirectly through the Fund, the investor bears asset-based fees and may indirectly bear performance-based fees and allocations. Moreover, investors in the Fund bear a proportionate share of the fees and expenses of the Fund (including organizational and offering expenses, operating costs, sales charges, brokerage transaction expenses, and administrative fees) and, indirectly, similar expenses of the investment funds. Thus, an investor in the Fund may be subject to higher operating expenses than if he or she invested in an investment fund directly. Some investment funds may be subject to a performance-based fee or allocation, irrespective of the performance of other investment funds and the Fund generally. Accordingly, an underlying manager to certain investment funds with positive performance may receive performance-based compensation from the investment fund, and thus indirectly from the Fund and its Shareholders, even if the Fund’s overall performance is negative. Generally, fees payable to underlying managers of the investment funds will range from 0% to 2.85% (annualized) of the average NAV of the Fund’s investment. In addition, certain underlying managers charge an incentive allocation or fee generally ranging from 0% to 35% of an investment fund’s net profits, although it is possible that such ranges may be exceeded for certain underlying managers. The performance-based compensation received by an underlying manager also may create an incentive for that underlying manager to make investments that are riskier or more speculative than those that it might have made in the absence of the performance-based allocation. Such compensation may be based on calculations of realized and unrealized gains made by the underlying manager without independent oversight.

 

UNDERLYING MANAGERS INVEST INDEPENDENTLY. The underlying managers generally invest wholly independently of one another and may at times hold economically offsetting positions. To the extent that the investment funds do, in fact, hold such positions, the Fund’s portfolio, considered as a whole, may not achieve any gain or loss despite incurring fees and expenses in connection with such positions. Furthermore, it is possible that from time to time, various investment funds selected by the Investment Adviser may be competing with each other for the same positions in one or more markets. To the extent that the investment funds do, in fact, hold the same positions, the Fund’s portfolio, considered as a whole, may experience magnified gain or loss corresponding with the same position held by each investment fund and incur additional fees and expenses in connection with the same position.

 

LACK OF CONTROL OVER UNDERLYING MANAGERS. The Fund will invest in investment funds that it believes will generally, and in the aggregate, be managed in a manner consistent with the Fund’s investment objective and strategy. The Investment Adviser will not have any control over the underlying managers, thus there can be no assurances that an underlying manager will manage its investment funds in a manner consistent with the Fund’s investment objective. The Investment Adviser may be constrained by the withdrawal limitations imposed by private investment funds, which may restrict the Fund’s ability to terminate investments in private investment funds that are performing poorly or have otherwise had adverse changes. The Investment Adviser will be dependent on information provided by the private investment funds, including quarterly unaudited financial statements, which if inaccurate, could adversely affect the Investment Adviser’s ability to manage the Fund’s investment portfolio in accordance with its investment objectives and/or the Fund’s ability to calculate its net asset value accurately. By investing in the Fund, a Shareholder will not be deemed to be an investor in any investment fund and will not have the ability to exercise any rights attributable to an investor in any such investment fund related to their investment.

 

VALUATION OF INVESTMENT FUNDS. Although the Investment Adviser, as part of their review of potential investment funds, review the valuation procedures used by all underlying managers, neither the Investment Adviser nor the Administrator can generally confirm or review the accuracy of valuations provided by investment funds or their administrators. Further, the Placement Agent does not have any responsibility or obligation to verify the valuation determinations made for the Fund’s investments, including valuation determinations with respect to the investment funds. An underlying manager to an investment fund may face a conflict of interest in valuing such securities since their values will affect the underlying manager’s compensation. If an underlying manager’s valuations are consistently delayed or inaccurate, the Investment Adviser generally will consider whether the investment fund continues to be an appropriate investment for the Fund. The Fund may be unable to sell interests in a private investment fund quickly, and could therefore be obligated to continue to hold such interests for an extended period of time. In such a case, such interests would continue to be valued without the benefit of the underlying manager’s valuations, and the Investment Adviser may determine to discount the value of the interests or value them at zero, if deemed to be the fair value of such holding. Revisions to the Fund’s gain and loss calculations will be an ongoing process, and no appreciation or depreciation figure can be considered final until the annual audits of investment funds are completed. Promoting transparency and receiving necessary information from investment funds, especially private investment funds, may possibly be an impediment to monitoring the performance of such investment funds on a regular basis.

 

VALUATIONS SUBJECT TO ADJUSTMENT. The valuations reported by private investment funds, based upon which the Fund determines its month-end net asset value and the net asset value per Share, may be subject to later adjustment or revision. For example, fiscal year-end net asset value calculations of private investment funds may be revised as a result of audits by their independent auditors. Other adjustments may occur from time to time. Because such adjustments or revisions, whether increasing or decreasing the net asset value of the Fund at the time they occur, relate to information available only at the time of the adjustment or revision, the adjustment or revision may not affect the amount of the repurchase proceeds of the Fund received by Shareholders who had their Shares repurchased prior to such adjustments and received their repurchase proceeds, subject to the ability of the Fund to adjust or recoup the repurchase proceeds received by Shareholders under certain circumstances as described in “TENDER/REPURCHASE PROCEDURES.” As a result, to the extent that such subsequently adjusted valuations from the private investment funds or revisions to the net asset value of a private investment fund or direct private equity investment adversely affect the Fund’s net asset value, the outstanding Shares may be adversely affected by prior repurchases to the benefit of Shareholders who had their Shares repurchased at a net asset value higher than the adjusted amount. Conversely, any increases in the net asset value resulting from such subsequently adjusted valuations may be entirely for the benefit of the outstanding Shares and to the detriment of Shareholders who previously had their Shares repurchased at a net asset value lower than the adjusted amount. The same principles apply to the purchase of Shares. New Shareholders may be affected in a similar way.

 

INDEMNIFICATION OF INVESTMENT FUNDS. The underlying managers often have broad indemnification rights and limitations on liability. The Fund may also agree to indemnify certain of the investment funds and, subject to certain limitations imposed by the Investment Company Act and the Securities Act, as amended, their underlying managers from any liability, damage, cost, or expense arising out of, among other things, certain acts or omissions relating to the offer or sale of the shares of the investment funds.

 

NO REGISTRATION OF CERTAIN INVESTMENT FUNDS. Some investment funds may not be registered as investment companies under the Investment Company Act. Accordingly, the provisions of the Investment Company Act, which, among other things, require investment companies to have securities held in custody at all times in segregated accounts and regulate the relationship between the investment company and its asset management, might not apply to an investment in these investment funds. In addition, these investment funds may not be obligated to disclose the contents of their portfolios. This lack of transparency may make it difficult for the Investment Adviser to monitor whether holdings of these investment funds cause the Fund to be above specified levels of ownership in certain investment strategies. Although the Fund expects to receive information from each underlying manager regarding its investment performance on a regular basis, in most cases there is little or no means of independently verifying this information. An underlying manager may use proprietary investment strategies that are not fully disclosed to its investors and may involve risks under some market conditions that are not anticipated by the Fund. In addition, while many of these underlying managers will register with the SEC and state agencies as a result of developments in certain laws, rules and regulations, some underlying managers may still be exempt from registration. In such cases, these underlying managers will not be subject to various disclosure requirements and rules that would apply to registered investment advisers. Similarly, while many of these underlying managers will register as commodity pool operators under the Commodity Exchange Act, other underlying managers will be exempt from registration and will not be subject to various disclosure requirements and rules that would apply to registered commodity pool operators.

 

FUND DISTRIBUTION RISK. The Fund currently expects to make distributions on a regular basis. While the Fund will normally pay its income as distributions, the Fund's distributions may exceed the Fund's income and gains for the Fund's taxable year. The Fund may reduce its distributions if it has insufficient income. Distributions in excess of the Fund's current and accumulated earnings and profits will be treated as a return of capital. Distributions in excess of the Fund's minimum distribution requirements, but not in excess of the Fund's earnings and profits, will be taxable to Shareholders and will not constitute nontaxable returns of capital. A return of capital distribution generally will not be taxable but will reduce the Shareholder's cost basis and will result in a higher capital gain or lower capital loss when those Fund shares on which the distribution was received are sold. Once a Shareholder's cost basis is reduced to zero, further distributions will be treated as capital gain, if the Shareholder holds shares of the Fund as capital assets. Additionally, any capital returned through distributions will be distributed after payment of Fund fees and expenses. Because the Fund's distributions may consist of return of capital, the Fund may not be an appropriate investment for investors who do not want their principal investment in the Fund to decrease over time or who do not wish to receive return of capital in a given period.

 

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE. Advancements in technology may also adversely impact markets and the overall performance of the Fund. For instance, the economy may be significantly impacted by the advanced development and increased regulation of artificial intelligence. As the use of technology grows, liquidity and market movements may be affected. As artificial intelligence is used more widely, the profitability and growth of Fund holdings may be impacted, which could significantly impact the overall performance of the Fund.

 

LIMITS OF RISK DISCLOSURES. The above discussions relate to the various principal risks associated with the Fund, its investments and Shares, and are not intended to be a complete enumeration or explanation of the risks involved in an investment in the Fund. Prospective investors should read this entire Memorandum and consult with their own advisers before deciding whether to invest in the Fund. In addition, as the Fund’s investment program changes or develops over time, an investment in the Fund may be subject to risk factors not currently contemplated or described in this Memorandum.

 

In view of the risks noted above, the Fund should be considered a speculative investment and prospective investors should invest in the Fund only if they can sustain a complete loss of their investment.

 

No guarantee or representation is made that the investment program of the Fund will be successful or that the Fund will achieve its investment objective.

     
Effects of Leverage [Text Block]

Effects of Leverage.

 

Assuming the use of leverage in the amount of 20% of the Fund’s net assets and an annual interest rate on leverage of 4.25% payable on such leverage based on estimated market interest rates as of the date of this Memorandum, the additional income that the Fund must earn (net of estimated expenses related to leverage) in order to cover such interest payments is 0.85%. The Fund’s actual cost of leverage will be based on market interest rates at the time the Fund undertakes a leveraging strategy, and such actual cost of leverage maybe higher or lower than that assumed in the previous example.

 

The following table is furnished in response to requirements of the SEC. It is designed to illustrate the effect of leverage on total return on Shares, assuming investment portfolio total returns (comprised of income, net expenses and changes in the value of investments held in the Fund’s portfolio) of -10%, -5%, 0%, 5% and 10%. These assumed investment portfolio returns are hypothetical figures and are not necessarily indicative of what the Fund’s investment portfolio returns will be. In other words, the Fund’s actual returns may be greater or less than those appearing in the table below. The table further reflects the use of leverage representing approximately 20% of the Fund’s assets after such issuance and the Fund’s currently projected annual interest rate of 4.25%. See “PRINCIPAL RISK FACTORS — BORROWING, USE OF LEVERAGE.” The table does not reflect any offering costs of Shares.

 

Assumed Portfolio Return (Net of Expenses)     -10.00 %     -5.00 %     0.00 %     5.00 %     10.00 %
Corresponding Return to Shareholder     -12.85 %     -6.85 %     -0.85 %     5.15 %     11.15 %

 

Total return is composed of two elements — the dividends on Shares paid by the Fund (the amount of which is largely determined by the Fund’s net investment income after paying the cost of leverage) and realized and unrealized gains or losses on the value of the securities the Fund owns. As the table shows, leverage generally increases the return to Shareholders when portfolio return is greater than the costs of leverage and decreases return when the portfolio return is less than the costs of leverage.

DISTRIBUTION POLICY

 

The Fund intends to make monthly distributions to its shareholders equal to 12% annually of the Fund’s NAV per Share (the “Distribution Policy”). This predetermined dividend rate may be modified by the Board from time to time and increased to the extent of the Fund’s investment company taxable income that it is required to distribute in order to maintain its status as a RIC.

 

If, for any distribution, available cash is less than the amount of this predetermined dividend rate, then assets of the Fund will be sold, and such disposition may generate additional taxable income. The Fund’s final distribution for each calendar year will include any remaining investment company taxable income and net tax-exempt income (if any) undistributed during the year, as well as the net capital gain realized during the year. If the total distributions made in any calendar year exceed investment company taxable income, net tax-exempt interest income (if any) and net capital gains, such excess distributed amount would be treated as ordinary dividend income to the extent of the Fund’s current and accumulated earnings and profits. Payments in excess of the earnings and profits would first be a tax-free return of capital to the extent of the adjusted tax basis in each Share. After such adjusted tax basis is reduced to zero, the payment would constitute capital gain (assuming the Shares are held as capital assets). This distribution policy may, under certain circumstances, have certain adverse consequences to the Fund and its shareholders because it may result in a return of capital resulting in less of a shareholder’s assets being invested in the Fund and, over time, increase the Fund’s expense ratio. The distribution policy also may cause the Fund to sell a security at a time it would not otherwise do so in order to manage the distribution of income and gain.

 

The dividend distribution described above may result in the payment of approximately the same amount or percentage to the Fund’s shareholders each period. Section 19(a) of the Investment Company Act and Rule 19a-1 thereunder require the Fund to provide a written statement accompanying any such payment that adequately discloses its source or sources. Thus, if the source of the dividend or other distribution were the original capital contribution of the shareholder, and the payment amounted to a return of capital, the Fund would be required to provide written disclosure to that effect. As required under the Investment Company Act, the Fund will provide a notice to shareholders at the time of a payment or distribution when such does not consist solely of net income. Additionally, each payment will be accompanied by a written statement which discloses the source or sources of each payment. The Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) requires you to report these amounts, excluding returns of capital, (such amounts will be reported by the Fund to shareholders on IRS Form 1099) on your income tax return for the year declared. The Fund will provide disclosures, with each payment, that estimates the percentages of the current and year-to-date payments that represent (1) net investment income, (2) capital gains and (3) return of capital. At the end of the year, the Fund may be required under applicable law to re-characterize payments made previously during that year among (1) ordinary income, (2) capital gains and (3) return of capital for tax purposes. Nevertheless, persons who periodically receive the payments may be under the impression that they are receiving net profits when they are not. Shareholders should read any written disclosure provided pursuant to Section 19(a) and Rule 19a-1 carefully and should not assume that the source of any payment from the Fund is net profit.

 

The Board reserves the right to change the Distribution Policy from time to time.

     
Security Voting Rights [Text Block]

Each Shareholder will have the right to cast a number of votes, based on the number of such Shareholder’s full and fractional Shares, at any meeting of Shareholders called by the Board. Except for the exercise of such voting privileges, Shareholders will not be entitled to participate in the management or control of the Fund’s business and may not act for or bind the Fund.

TERM, DISSOLUTION AND LIQUIDATION

 

The Fund may be dissolved upon approval of a majority of the Trustees. Upon the liquidation of the Fund, its assets will be distributed first to satisfy (whether by payment or the making of a reasonable provision for payment) the debts, liabilities and obligations of the Fund, including actual or anticipated liquidation expenses, other than debts, liabilities or obligations to Shareholders, and then to the Shareholders proportionately in accordance with the amount of Shares that they own. Assets may be distributed in-kind on a proportionate basis if the Board or liquidator determines that the distribution of assets in-kind would be in the interests of the Shareholders in facilitating an orderly liquidation.

There is no public market for the Shares and none is expected to develop. The Fund does not list its Shares on a stock exchange or similar market. Shares are transferable only in limited circumstances as described below, and liquidity for investments in Shares may be provided only through the tender offers described above. If a shareholder attempts to transfer Shares in violation of the Fund’s transfer restrictions, the transfer will not be permitted and will be void. An investment in the Fund is therefore suitable only for investors that can bear the risks associated with the limited liquidity of Shares and should be viewed as a long-term investment.

 

No person shall become a substituted Shareholder of the Fund without the consent of the Fund, which consent may be withheld in its sole discretion. Shares held by Shareholders may be transferred only: (i) by operation of law in connection with the death, divorce, bankruptcy, insolvency, or adjudicated incompetence of the Shareholder; or (ii) under other limited circumstances, with the consent of the Board (which may be withheld in its sole discretion and is expected to be granted, if at all, only under extenuating circumstances).

 

Notice to the Fund of any proposed transfer must include evidence satisfactory to the Board that the proposed transferee, at the time of transfer, meets any requirements imposed by the Fund with respect to investor eligibility and suitability. See “INVESTOR QUALIFICATIONS.” Notice of a proposed transfer of a Share must also be accompanied by a properly completed investor application in respect of the proposed transferee. In connection with any request to transfer Shares, the Fund may require the Shareholder requesting the transfer to obtain, at the Shareholder’s expense, an opinion of counsel selected by the Fund as to such matters as the Fund may reasonably request. The Board generally will not consent to a transfer of Shares by a Shareholder (i) unless such transfer is to a single transferee, or (ii) if, after the transfer of the Shares, the balance of the account of each of the transferee and transferor is less than $25,000. Each transferring Shareholder and transferee may be charged reasonable expenses, including, but not limited to, attorneys’ and accountants’ fees, incurred by the Fund in connection with the transfer.

 

Any transferee acquiring Shares by operation of law in connection with the death, divorce, bankruptcy, insolvency, or adjudicated incompetence of the Shareholder, will be entitled to the distributions allocable to the Shares so acquired, to transfer the Shares in accordance with the terms of the Declaration of Trust and to tender the Shares for repurchase by the Fund, but will not be entitled to the other rights of a Shareholder unless and until the transferee becomes a substituted Shareholder as specified in the Declaration of Trust. If a Shareholder transfers Shares with the approval of the Board, the Fund shall as promptly as practicable take all necessary actions so that each transferee or successor to whom the Shares are transferred is admitted to the Fund as a Shareholder.

 

By subscribing for Shares, each Shareholder agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Fund, the Board, the Investment Adviser, and each other Shareholder, and any affiliate of the foregoing against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including legal or other expenses incurred in investigating or defending against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses or any judgments, fines, and amounts paid in settlement), joint or several, to which such persons may become subject by reason of or arising from any transfer made by that Shareholder in violation of the Declaration of Trust or any misrepresentation made by that Shareholder in connection with any such transfer.

Limited Operating History Risk [Member]        
General Description of Registrant [Abstract]        
Risk [Text Block]

LIMITED Operating History. The Fund is a newly-organized closed-end management investment company that has a limited operating history and no public trading of its Shares. An investment in the Fund’s Shares should not constitute a complete investment program for any investor and involves a high degree of risk.

     
Closed End Fund Limited Liquidity Risk [Member]        
General Description of Registrant [Abstract]        
Risk [Text Block]

CLOSED-END FUND; LIMITED LIQUIDITY. The Fund has been organized as a non-diversified, closed-end management investment company and designed primarily for long-term investors. An investor should not invest in the Fund if the investor needs a liquid investment. Closed-end funds differ from open-end management investment companies (commonly known as mutual funds) in that investors in a closed-end fund do not have the right to redeem their shares on a daily basis. Unlike most closed-end funds, which typically list their shares on a securities exchange, the Fund does not intend to list the Shares for trading on any securities exchange, and the Fund does not expect any secondary market to develop for the Shares. Shares are considerably less liquid than shares of funds that trade on a stock exchange, or shares of open-end registered investment companies. At the discretion of the Board and provided that it is in the best interests of the Fund and Shareholders to do so, the Fund intends to provide a limited degree of liquidity to Shareholders by conducting tender offers of at least 3.5% of the Fund’s outstanding Shares every six months occurring on the last business day of June and December. The Board may determine not to conduct a tender offer. There can be no assurance that the Fund will conduct tender offers in any particular period and Shareholders may be unable to tender Shares for repurchase for the life of the Fund.

 

In considering whether to repurchase Shares during periods of financial market stress, the Board may offer to repurchase Shares at a discount to their prevailing NAV that appropriately reflects market conditions, subject to applicable law. Further, repurchases of Shares, if any, may be suspended, postponed or terminated by the Board under certain circumstances. See “TENDER/REPURCHASE PROCEDURES.” An investment in the Fund is suitable only for investors who can bear the risks associated with the limited liquidity of Shares and the underlying investments of the Fund. Also, because Shares are not listed on any securities exchange, the Fund is not required, and does not intend, to hold annual meetings of its Shareholders unless called for under the provisions of the Investment Company Act.

     
Non Diversified Status Risk [Member]        
General Description of Registrant [Abstract]        
Risk [Text Block]

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. Although the Adviser follows a general policy of seeking to spread the Fund’s capital among multiple Investment Funds, the Adviser may depart from such policy from time to time and one or more Investment Funds may be allocated a relatively large percentage of the Fund’s assets. Consequently, if one or more Fund investments are allocated a relatively large percentage of the Fund’s assets, losses suffered by such Fund investments 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 investments. The Fund may also be more susceptible to any single economic or regulatory occurrence than a diversified investment company. However, the Fund will be subject to diversification requirements applicable to RICs under the Code.

     
Recent Market Circumstances Risk [Member]        
General Description of Registrant [Abstract]        
Risk [Text Block]

Recent Market Circumstances. The value of the Fund’s investments may increase or decrease in response to expected, real or perceived economic, political or financial events in the U.S. or global markets. The frequency and magnitude of such changes in value cannot be predicted. Certain securities and other investments held by the Fund may experience increased volatility, illiquidity, or other potentially adverse effects in response to changing market conditions, inflation/deflation, changes in interest rates, lack of liquidity in the bond or equity markets, volatility in the equity markets. U.S. or global markets may be adversely affected by uncertainties and events or the threat or potential of one or more such events and developments in the U.S. and around the world, such as major cybersecurity events, geopolitical events (including wars, terror attacks, natural disasters, spread of infectious disease (including epidemics or pandemics) or other public health emergencies), social unrest, political developments, and changes in government policies, taxation, threatened or actual imposition of tariffs, restrictions on foreign investment and currency repatriation, currency fluctuations and developments in the laws and regulations in the U.S. and other countries, or other political, regulatory, economic and social developments, and developments that impact specific economic sectors, industries or segments of the market. Recently, the United States has enacted or proposed to enact significant new tariffs, and various federal agencies have been directed to further evaluate key aspects of U.S. trade policy, which could potentially lead to significant changes to current policies, treaties, and tariffs. Significant uncertainty continues to exist about the future relationship between the U.S. and other countries with respect to such trade policies, treaties and tariffs. These developments, or the perception that any of them could occur, may have a material adverse effect on global trade, in particular, trade between the impacted nations and the U.S.; the stability of global financial markets; and global economic conditions.

 

The Fund cannot predict the effects or likelihood of such events on the U.S. and global economies, the value of the Shares or the NAV of the Fund. The issuers of securities, including those held in the Fund’s portfolio, could be materially impacted by such events which may, in turn, negatively affect the value of such securities or such issuers’ ability to make interest payments or distributions to the Fund., These risks may be magnified if certain events or developments adversely interrupt the global supply chain; in these and other circumstances, such risks might affect companies worldwide due to increasingly interconnected global economies and financial markets.

 

Recent technological developments in, and the increasingly widespread use of, artificial intelligence technologies may pose risks to the Fund. For instance, the economy may be significantly impacted by the advanced development and increased regulation of artificial intelligence technologies. As artificial intelligence technologies are used more widely, the profitability and growth of Fund holdings may be impacted, which could significantly impact the overall performance of the Fund. The legal and regulatory frameworks within which artificial intelligence technologies operate continue to rapidly evolve, and it is not possible to predict the full extent of current or future risks related thereto.

     
Government Intervention In Financial Markets Risk [Member]        
General Description of Registrant [Abstract]        
Risk [Text Block]

GOVERNMENT INTERVENTION IN FINANCIAL MARKETS. The instability in the financial markets in the recent past led the U.S. Government and foreign governments to take a number of unprecedented actions designed to support certain financial institutions and segments of the financial markets that experienced extreme volatility, and in some cases a lack of liquidity. Future market conditions could lead to further such actions. See “PRINCIPAL RISK FACTORS — RECENT MARKET CIRCUMSTANCES” above. U.S. federal and state governments and foreign governments, their regulatory agencies or self-regulatory organizations may take additional actions that affect the regulation of the Fund's investments, in ways that are unforeseeable and on an “emergency” basis with little or no notice with the consequence that some market participants’ ability to continue to implement certain strategies or manage the risk of their outstanding positions will be suddenly and/or substantially eliminated or otherwise negatively implicated. Given the complexities of the global financial markets and the limited time frame within which governments have been able to take action, these interventions have sometimes been unclear in scope and application, resulting in confusion and uncertainty, which in itself has been materially detrimental to the efficient functioning of such markets as well as previously successful investment strategies. Decisions made by government policy makers could exacerbate any economic difficulties. Issuers might seek protection under the bankruptcy laws. Legislation or regulation may also change the way in which the Fund itself is regulated. Such legislation or regulation could limit or preclude the Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective.

     
Fund Capitalization Risk [Member]        
General Description of Registrant [Abstract]        
Risk [Text Block]

FUND CAPITALIZATION RISK. There is a risk that the Fund may not raise capital sufficient to maintain profitability and meet its investment objective. An inability to raise sufficient capital may adversely affect the Fund’s diversification, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations, as well as its compliance with regulatory requirements and tax diversification requirements. The Fund could liquidate without Shareholder approval if it does not raise sufficient capital. The timing of such liquidation may not be favorable and could have negative tax consequences for Shareholders.

     
Inability To Identify Sufficient Number Of Investment Opportunities Risk [Member]        
General Description of Registrant [Abstract]        
Risk [Text Block]

RISK OF INABILITY TO IDENTIFY SUFFICIENT NUMBER OF INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITIES. There can be no assurance that the Investment Adviser will be able to find suitable opportunities consistent with its investment approaches. The Investment Adviser may be unable to find a sufficient number of attractive opportunities to meet its investment objectives. Among other things, market conditions may limit the availability of investment opportunities and the competition for investment opportunities (including among other accounts managed by the Investment Adviser’s affiliates) may be high. Such limitations may cause delays in deploying the Fund’s capital and may negatively impact the Fund’s returns.

     
Borrowing Use Of Leverage Risk [Member]        
General Description of Registrant [Abstract]        
Risk [Text Block]

BORROWING; USE OF LEVERAGE. 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, 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 of the value of its total assets (including such indebtedness). The Fund may be required to dispose of assets on unfavorable terms if market fluctuations or other factors reduce the Fund’s asset coverage to less than the prescribed amount. The Fund intends to obtain leverage primarily through the use of reverse repurchase agreements, subject to the limits of the Investment Company Act. See “REVERSE REPURCHASE AGREEMENT RISK.

     
Inflation Risk [Member]        
General Description of Registrant [Abstract]        
Risk [Text Block]

INFLATION RISK. Inflation risk is the risk that the value of assets or income from investments will be less in the future as inflation decreases the value of money. As inflation increases, the present value of the Fund’s assets and distributions may decline. This risk is more prevalent with respect to debt securities held by the Fund. Inflation creates uncertainty over the future real value (after inflation) of an investment. Inflation rates may change frequently and drastically as a result of various factors, including unexpected shifts in the domestic or global economy, and the Fund’s investments may not keep pace with inflation, which may result in losses to Fund investors.

     
Legal Tax And Regulatory Risk [Member]        
General Description of Registrant [Abstract]        
Risk [Text Block]

LEGAL, TAX AND REGULATORY. Legal, tax and regulatory changes could occur that may materially adversely affect the Fund.

 

The financial services industry generally has been the subject of increasing legislative and regulatory scrutiny. Such scrutiny may increase the Fund’s compliance, administrative and other related burdens and costs as well as regulatory oversight or involvement in the Fund’s business. There can be no assurances that the Fund will not in the future be subject to regulatory review. The effects of any regulatory changes or developments on the Fund may affect the manner in which it is managed and may be substantial and adverse.

 

The current presidential administration has called for and is seeking to quickly enact significant changes to U.S. fiscal, tax, trade, healthcare, immigration, foreign, and government regulatory policy. Significant uncertainty exists with respect to legislation, regulation and government policy at the federal level, as well as the state and local levels. Recent events have created a climate of heightened uncertainty and introduced new and difficult-to-quantify macroeconomic and political risks with potentially far-reaching implications. There has been a corresponding meaningful increase in the uncertainty surrounding interest rates, inflation, foreign exchange rates, trade volumes and fiscal and monetary policy. To the extent the U.S. Congress or the current presidential administration implements changes to U.S. policy, those changes may impact, among other things, the U.S. and global economy, international trade and relations, unemployment, immigration, corporate taxes, healthcare, the U.S. regulatory environment, inflation and other areas. Although the Fund cannot predict the impact, if any, of these changes to the Fund’s business, they could adversely affect the Fund’s business, financial condition, operating results and cash flows. Until the Fund knows what policy changes are made and how those changes impact the Fund’s business and the business of the Fund’s competitors over the long term, the Fund will not know if, overall, the Fund will benefit from them or be negatively affected by them.

     
Non Qualification As Ric Risk [Member]        
General Description of Registrant [Abstract]        
Risk [Text Block]

NON-QUALIFICATION AS A RIC. If for any taxable year the Fund were to fail to qualify as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of Subtitle A, Chapter 1, of the Code, all of its taxable income would be subject to tax at regular corporate rates without any deduction for distributions. To qualify as a RIC, the Fund must meet three numerical requirements each year regarding (i) the diversification of the assets it holds, (ii) the income it earns, and (iii) the amount of taxable income that it distributes to Shareholders. These requirements and certain additional tax risks associated with investments in the Fund are discussed in “TAXES” in this Memorandum.

     
Tax Risk [Member]        
General Description of Registrant [Abstract]        
Risk [Text Block]

TAX RISK. The Fund intends to elect and to qualify each year to be treated as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code. If, in any year, the Fund fails to qualify as a RIC under the applicable tax laws, the Fund would be taxed as an ordinary corporation. In order to maintain its RIC qualification, the Fund must distribute at least 90% of its income annually. Depending upon the circumstances, some assets may need to be sold to fund distributions. This process of recognizing deemed income and selling assets to fund distributions may accelerate the time at which shareholders receive cash but may reduce the overall return on funds employed. In the event that a shareholder purchases Shares of the Fund shortly before a distribution by the Fund, the entire distribution may be taxable to the shareholder even though a portion of the distribution effectively represents a return of the purchase price.

     
Dependence On Investment Adviser Risk [Member]        
General Description of Registrant [Abstract]        
Risk [Text Block]

DEPENDENCE ON THE INVESTMENT ADVISER. The Investment Adviser has its discretion to make all investment decisions for the Fund and therefore the Investment Adviser is responsible for the selection of, and allocation and reallocation of the Fund’s assets among, the Fund’s investments. The success of the Fund depends on the Investment Adviser’s ability to select and construct an appropriate investment portfolio. The Investment Adviser’s judgment may be incorrect, and subjective decisions made by the Investment Adviser may cause the Fund to incur losses or to miss profit opportunities on which it could otherwise have capitalized. Any loss or turnover of the Investment Adviser’s personnel responsible for making investment decisions may have a material adverse effect on the operations and performance of the Fund.

     
Temporary Defensive Strategies Risk [Member]        
General Description of Registrant [Abstract]        
Risk [Text Block]

TEMPORARY DEFENSIVE STRATEGIES RISK. When the Investment Adviser anticipates unusual market or other conditions, the Fund may temporarily depart from its principal investment strategies as a defensive measure and invest all or a portion of its assets in cash or cash equivalents or accept lower current income from short-term investments rather than investing in high yielding long-term securities. In such a case, Shareholders of the Fund may be adversely affected and the Fund may not pursue or achieve its investment objective.

     
Conflict Of Interest Risk [Member]        
General Description of Registrant [Abstract]        
Risk [Text Block]

CONFLICT OF INTEREST RISK. The Investment Adviser and the portfolio managers of the Fund have interests which may conflict with the interests of the Fund. In particular, the Investment Adviser manages and/or advises other investment funds or accounts with the same or similar investment objectives and strategies as the Fund. As a result, the Investment Adviser and the Fund’s portfolio managers may devote unequal time and attention to the management of the Fund and those other funds and accounts and may not be able to formulate as complete a strategy or identify equally attractive investment opportunities as might be the case if they were to devote substantially more attention to the management of the Fund. The Investment Adviser and the Fund’s portfolio managers may identify a limited investment opportunity that may be suitable for multiple funds and accounts, and the opportunity may be allocated among these several funds and accounts, which may limit the Fund’s ability to take full advantage of the investment opportunity. Additionally, transaction orders may be aggregated for multiple accounts for purpose of execution, which may cause the price or brokerage costs to be less favorable to the Fund than if similar transactions were not being executed concurrently for other accounts. Furthermore, it is theoretically possible that a portfolio manager could use the information obtained from managing a fund or account to the advantage of other funds or accounts under management, and also theoretically possible that actions could be taken (or not taken) to the detriment of the Fund. At times, a portfolio manager may determine that an investment opportunity may be appropriate for only some of the funds and accounts for which he or she exercises investment responsibility or may decide that certain of the funds and accounts should take differing positions with respect to a particular security. In these cases, the portfolio manager may place separate transactions for one or more funds or accounts which may affect the market price of the security or the execution of the transaction, or both, to the detriment or benefit of one or more other funds and accounts. For example, a portfolio manager may determine that it would be in the interest of another account to sell a security that the Fund holds, potentially resulting in a decrease in the market value of the security held by the Fund.

 

Conflicts potentially limiting the Fund’s investment opportunities may also arise when the Fund and other clients of the Investment Adviser invest in, or even conduct research relating to, different parts of an issuer’s capital structure, such as when the Fund owns senior debt obligations of an issuer and other clients own junior tranches of the same issuer. In such circumstances, decisions over whether to trigger an event of default, over the terms of any workout, or how to exit an investment may result in conflicts of interest. In order to minimize such conflicts, a portfolio manager may avoid certain investment opportunities that would potentially give rise to conflicts with other clients of the Investment Adviser or result in the Investment Adviser receiving material, non-public information, or the Investment Adviser may enact internal procedures designed to minimize such conflicts, which could have the effect of limiting the Fund’s investment opportunities. Additionally, if the Investment Adviser acquires material non-public confidential information in connection with its business activities for other clients, a portfolio manager or other investment personnel may be restricted from purchasing securities or selling certain securities for the Fund or other clients.

 

The portfolio managers also may engage in cross trades between funds and accounts, may select brokers or dealers to execute securities transactions based in part on brokerage and research services provided to the Investment Adviser which may not benefit all funds and accounts equally and may receive different amounts of financial or other benefits for managing different funds and accounts. The Investment Adviser and its affiliates may provide more services to some types of funds and accounts than others.

 

The Investment Adviser and its affiliates, including the Placement Agent, have engaged or may engage in one or more of the transactions described herein with one or more of its affiliates. None of the transactions among the Investment Adviser or any of its affiliates has been or will be negotiated or conducted on an arm’s-length basis. The interrelationships of these parties and the absence of arm’s-length dealings create potential conflicts of interest. The principal transactions with which the Investment Adviser engages with its affiliates are (a) engaging the Placement Agent; and (b) fees payable to its affiliates have not been negotiated at arms’ length.

 

The Fund and the Investment Adviser have adopted policies and procedures that address the foregoing potential conflicts of interest, including policies and procedures to address the allocation of investment opportunities, execution of portfolio transactions, personal trading by employees and other potential conflicts of interest that are designed to ensure that all accounts of the Investment Adviser are treated equitably. There is no guarantee that the policies and procedures adopted by the Investment Adviser and the Fund will be able to identify or mitigate the conflicts of interest that arise between the Fund and any other investment funds or accounts that the Investment Adviser may manage or advise from time to time. For further information on potential conflicts of interest, see “INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AND OTHER SERVICESConflicts of Interest” in the SAI.

     
Operational Risk [Member]        
General Description of Registrant [Abstract]        
Risk [Text Block]

OPERATIONAL RISK. The Fund is subject to risks arising from various operational factors, including, but not limited to, human error, processing and communication errors, errors of the Fund’s service providers, counterparties or other third-parties, failed or inadequate processes and technology or systems failures. The Fund relies on third-parties for a range of services, including custody. Any delay or failure relating to engaging or maintaining such service providers may affect the Fund’s ability to meet its investment objective. Although the Fund and the Investment Adviser seek to reduce these operational risks through controls and procedures, there is no way to completely protect against such risks.

     
Technology Risk [Member]        
General Description of Registrant [Abstract]        
Risk [Text Block]

TECHNOLOGY RISK. The Fund and its service providers and markets generally are susceptible to potential operational risks related to intentional and unintentional events that may cause the Fund or a service provider to lose proprietary information, suffer data corruption or lose operational capacity. There can be no guarantee that any risk management systems established by the Fund, its service providers, or issuers of the securities in which the Fund invests to reduce technology and cyber security risks will succeed, and the Fund cannot control such systems put in place by service providers, issuers or other third parties whose operations may affect the Fund. Recent technological developments in, and the increasingly widespread use of, artificial intelligence technologies may pose risks to the Fund. For instance, the economy may be significantly impacted by the advanced development and increased regulation of artificial intelligence technologies. As artificial intelligence technologies are used more widely, the profitability and growth of Fund holdings may be impacted, which could significantly impact the overall performance of the Fund. The legal and regulatory frameworks within which artificial intelligence technologies operate continue to rapidly evolve, and it is not possible to predict the full extent of current or future risks related thereto.

     
Cybersecurity Risk [Member]        
General Description of Registrant [Abstract]        
Risk [Text Block]

CYBERSECURITY RISK. Cybersecurity refers to the combination of technologies, processes and procedures established to protect information technology systems and data from unauthorized access, attack or damage. The Fund and its affiliates and third-party service providers are subject to cybersecurity risks. Cyber incidents include, but are not limited to, gaining unauthorized access to digital systems (e.g., through “hacking” or malicious software coding) for purposes of misappropriating assets or sensitive information, corrupting data or causing operational disruption. Cyberattacks may also be carried out in a manner that does not require gaining unauthorized access, such as causing denial-of-service attacks on websites (i.e., efforts to make network services unavailable to intended users). Cyber security risks have significantly increased in recent years and the Fund could suffer such losses in the future. Computer systems, software and networks may be vulnerable to unauthorized access, computer viruses or other malicious code and other events that could have a security impact. The use of artificial intelligence and machine learning could exacerbate these risks or result in cyber security incidents that implicate personal data. If one or more of such events occur, this potentially could jeopardize confidential and other information, including nonpublic personal information and sensitive business data, processed and stored in, and transmitted through, computer systems and networks, or otherwise cause interruptions or malfunctions in the Fund’s operations or its respective affiliates and third-party service providers. This could result in significant losses, reputational damage, litigation, regulatory fines or penalties, or otherwise adversely affect the Fund’s business, financial condition or results of operations. Privacy and information security laws and regulation changes, and compliance with those changes, may result in cost increases due to system changes and the development of new administrative processes. In addition, the Fund may be required to expend significant additional resources to modify the Fund’s protective measures and to investigate and remediate vulnerabilities or other exposures arising from operational and security risks. While the Fund’s service providers have established business continuity plans in the event of, and risk management systems to prevent, such cyber incidents, there are inherent limitations in such plans and systems including the possibility that certain risks have not been identified. Furthermore, the Fund cannot control the cyber security plans and systems put in place by its service providers or any other third parties whose operations may affect a Fund or its shareholders

     
Private Offering Exemption Risk [Member]        
General Description of Registrant [Abstract]        
Risk [Text Block]

PRIVATE OFFERING EXEMPTION. This offering has not been registered under the Securities Act, in reliance, in part, on the exemptive provisions of Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506(c) of Regulation D promulgated thereunder. Pursuant to Rule 506(c) all investors in a Fund must be “accredited investors” as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D, and the Fund, the Placement Agent or financial intermediaries (i.e., sub-placement agents) that enter into an agreement with the Placement Agent for the sale of Shares must take reasonable steps to verify that each prospective investor or existing Shareholder, as applicable, qualifies as an accredited investor at the time Shares are purchased. The Fund may utilize both the “safe harbor” verification provisions of Rule 506(c) and/or the “principle based methods of verification” under Rule 506(c)that allow for verification on grounds that are reasonable in the context of the particular facts and circumstances of each purchaser and transaction (“Principle Based Verification”). While the Fund intends to comply with Rule 506(c) at all times, it may be difficult for the Fund to ensure full compliance as SEC guidance on compliance with the applicable verification methodologies evolves and regulatory actions in this area increase over time. Failure of the Fund to comply with Rule 506(c) or any other securities rules or regulations applicable to the offering of Shares could result in regulatory enforcement actions and/or monetary claims against the Fund that could affect the ability of the Fund to operate and cause losses to the Fund and its Shareholders.

     
Investment And Market Risk [Member]        
General Description of Registrant [Abstract]        
Risk [Text Block]

INVESTMENT AND MARKET RISK. An investment in the Shares represents an indirect investment in the securities owned by the Fund. The value of these securities, like other market investments, may move up or down, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably. Accordingly, an investment in the Fund’s Shares is subject to investment risk, including the possible loss of the entire amount that you invest. Your Shares at any point in time may be worth less than your original investment.

     
General Economic And Market Conditions Risk [Member]        
General Description of Registrant [Abstract]        
Risk [Text Block]

GENERAL ECONOMIC AND MARKET CONDITIONS. The success of the Fund’s investment program may be affected by general economic and market conditions, such as interest rates, availability of credit, inflation rates, economic uncertainty, changes in laws, trade policies, treaties and tariffs, and national and international political circumstances. These factors may affect the level and volatility of securities prices and the liquidity of investments held by the Fund. Unexpected volatility or illiquidity could impair the Fund’s profitability or result in losses.

 

Interest rates in the United States and many other countries have risen in recent periods and may continue to rise in the future. See “INTEREST RATE RISK” for more information. Additionally, as a result of increasing interest rates, reserves held by banks and other financial institutions in bonds and other debt securities could face a significant decline in value relative to deposits and liabilities, which coupled with general economic headwinds resulting from a changing interest rate environment, creates liquidity pressures at such institutions. As a result, certain sectors of the credit markets could experience significant declines in liquidity, and it is possible that the Fund will not be able to manage this risk effectively.

     
General Credit Risk [Member]        
General Description of Registrant [Abstract]        
Risk [Text Block]

General Credit Risks. The value of any underlying collateral, the creditworthiness of the borrower and the priority of the lien are each of great importance. The Investment Adviser cannot guarantee the adequacy of the protection of the Fund’s interests, including the validity or enforceability of the loan and the maintenance of the anticipated priority and perfection of the applicable security interests. Furthermore, the Investment Adviser cannot assure that claims may not be asserted that might interfere with enforcement of the rights of the holder(s) of the relevant debt. In the event of a foreclosure, the liquidation proceeds upon sale of such asset may not satisfy the entire outstanding balance of principal and interest on the loan, resulting in a loss to the Fund. Any costs or delays involved in the effectuation of a foreclosure of the loan or a liquidation of the underlying property will further reduce the proceeds and thus increase the loss. The strategies utilized by the Investment Adviser may require accurate and detailed credit analysis of issuers, and there can be no assurance that such analysis will be accurate or complete. Credit risk is also greater to the extent that the Fund uses leverage in connection with the management of the Fund.

     
Rating Agencies Risk [Member]        
General Description of Registrant [Abstract]        
Risk [Text Block]

Rating Agencies Risk. Rating agencies may fail to make timely changes in credit ratings and an issuer’s current financial condition may be better or worse than a rating indicates. In addition, rating agencies are subject to an inherent conflict of interest because they are often compensated by the same issuers whose securities they grade.

     
Counterparty Risk [Member]        
General Description of Registrant [Abstract]        
Risk [Text Block]

Counterparty Risk. The Fund is expected to establish relationships to obtain financing, derivative intermediation and prime brokerage services that permit the Fund to invest in any variety of markets or asset classes over time. However, there can be no assurance that the Fund will be able to establish or maintain such relationships. An inability to establish or maintain such relationships could limit the Fund’s investment activities, create losses, preclude the Fund from engaging in certain transactions or prevent the Fund from investing at optimal rates and terms. Moreover, a disruption in the financing, derivative intermediation and prime brokerage services provided by any such relationships could have a significant impact on the Fund’s business due to the Fund’s reliance on such counterparties.

 

If there is a default by a counterparty, the Fund under most normal circumstances will have contractual remedies pursuant to the agreements related to the transaction. However, exercising such contractual rights may involve delays or costs which could result in the net asset value of the Fund being less than if the Fund had not entered into the transaction. Furthermore, there is a risk that any of such counterparties could become insolvent and/or the subject of insolvency proceedings. In such case, the recovery of the Fund’s securities from such counterparty or the payment of claims therefor may be significantly delayed and the Fund may recover substantially less than the full value of the securities entrusted to such counterparty.

 

In addition, the Fund may use counterparties located in jurisdictions outside the United States. Such local counterparties usually are subject to laws and regulations in non-U.S. jurisdictions that are designed to protect customers in the event of their insolvency. However, the practical effect of these laws and their application to the Fund’s assets are subject to substantial limitations and uncertainties. Because of the range of possible factual scenarios involving the insolvency of a counterparty and the potentially large number of entities and jurisdictions that may be involved, it is impossible to generalize about the effect of such an insolvency on the Fund and its assets. Investors should assume that the insolvency of any such counterparty would result in significant delays in recovering the Fund’s securities from or the payment of claims therefor by such counterparty and a loss to the Fund, which could be material.

     
Default Risk [Member]        
General Description of Registrant [Abstract]        
Risk [Text Block]

Default Risk. The ability of the Fund to generate income through its loan investments is dependent upon payments being made by the borrowers underlying such loan investments. If a borrower is unable to make its payments on a loan, the Fund may be greatly limited in its ability to recover any outstanding principal and interest under such loan.

 

A portion of the loans in which the Fund may invest may not be guaranteed or insured by a third party and may not be backed by any governmental authority. The Fund may need to rely on the collection efforts of third parties, which also may be limited in their ability to collect on defaulted loans. The Fund may not have direct recourse against borrowers, may not be able to contact a borrower about a loan, and may not be able to pursue borrowers to collect payment under loans. To the extent a loan is secured, there can be no assurance as to the amount of any funds that may be realized from recovering and liquidating any collateral or the timing of such recovery and liquidation and hence there is no assurance that sufficient funds (or, possibly, any funds) will be available to offset any payment defaults that occur under the loans. Loans are credit obligations of the borrowers and the terms of certain loans may not restrict the borrowers from incurring additional debt. If a borrower incurs additional debt after obtaining a loan through a platform, the additional debt may adversely affect the borrower’s creditworthiness generally, and could result in the financial distress, insolvency or bankruptcy of the borrower. This circumstance would ultimately impair the ability of that borrower to make payments on its loans and the Fund’s ability to receive the principal and interest payments that it expects to receive on such loan. To the extent borrowers incur other indebtedness that is secured, the ability of the secured creditors to exercise remedies against the assets of that borrower may impair the borrower’s ability to repay its loans or it may impair a third party’s ability to collect, on behalf of the Fund, on the loan upon default. To the extent that a loan is unsecured, borrowers may choose to repay obligations under other indebtedness (such as loans obtained from traditional lending sources) before repaying a loan facilitated through a direct lending platform because the borrowers have no collateral at risk. The Fund will generally not be made aware of any additional debt incurred by a borrower or whether such debt is secured.

 

If a borrower files for bankruptcy, any pending collection actions will automatically be put on hold and further collection action will not be permitted absent court approval. It is possible that a borrower’s liability on its loan will be discharged in bankruptcy. In most cases involving the bankruptcy of a borrower with an unsecured loan, unsecured creditors will receive only a fraction of any amount outstanding on the loan, if anything.

     
Bankruptcy Considerations Risk [Member]        
General Description of Registrant [Abstract]        
Risk [Text Block]

Bankruptcy Considerations. The Fund may hold investments in obligors that are experiencing, or are expected to experience, severe financial difficulties, which may never be overcome and may lead to uncertain outcomes. The bankruptcy courts of the various jurisdictions in which any such obligor may file bankruptcy would have broad discretion to control the terms of a reorganization, and political factors may be of significant importance in high profile bankruptcies or bankruptcies in particular jurisdictions.

 

There are a number of significant risks inherent in the bankruptcy process. While creditors are generally given an opportunity to object to significant actions, there can be no assurance that a bankruptcy court, in the exercise of its broad powers, would not approve actions that would be contrary to the interests of the Fund. For example, in order to protect net operating losses of an obligor in bankruptcy, a bankruptcy court might take any number of actions, including prohibiting or limiting the transfer of claims held by certain classes of creditors. Such a prohibition could have a material adverse effect on the value of certain investments made by the Fund. For example, the Fund might be prohibited from liquidating investments which are declining in value.

 

In addition, under certain circumstances, a lender who has inappropriately exercised control of the management and policies of a obligor may have their claims subordinated or disallowed or may be found liable for damages suffered by parties as a result of such actions. In addition, under certain circumstances, payments to the Fund and distributions by the Fund may be reclaimed if any such payment or distribution is later determined to have been a fraudulent conveyance, a preferential payment or similar transaction under applicable bankruptcy or other insolvency laws. Furthermore, investments may be adversely affected by statutes related to, among other things, fraudulent conveyances, voidable preferences, lender liability or the bankruptcy court’s discretionary power to disallow, subordinate or disenfranchise particular claims or re-characterize investments made in the form of debt as equity contributions.

 

The possibility of litigation between the participants to a reorganization is another consideration that makes any evaluation of the outcome of an investment uncertain. Such uncertainties may also be increased by legal or other factors that limit the ability of the Investment Adviser to obtain reliable or timely information concerning material developments affecting an obligor or that may lengthen a reorganization or liquidation proceeding.

     
Interest Rate Risks [Member]        
General Description of Registrant [Abstract]        
Risk [Text Block]

INTEREST RATE RISK. The Fund is subject to the risks of changes in interest rates. A decline in interest rates could reduce the amount of current income the Fund is able to achieve from interest on fixed-income securities, investments in bank loans and participations, convertible debt and the proceeds of short sales. An increase in interest rates could reduce the value of any fixed income securities, and convertible securities owned by the Fund. To the extent that the cash flow from a fixed income security is known in advance, the present value (i.e., discounted value) of that cash flow decreases as interest rates increase; to the extent that the cash flow is contingent, the dollar value of the payment may be linked to then prevailing interest rates. Moreover, the value of many fixed income securities depends on the shape of the yield curve, not just on a single interest rate. Thus, for example, a callable cash flow, the coupons of which depend on a short rate such as the Secured Overnight Financial Rate Data (“SOFR”), may shorten (i.e., be called away) if the long rate decreases. In this way, such securities are exposed to the difference between long rates and short rates. The Fund may also invest in floating rate securities. The value of these investments is closely tied to the absolute levels of such rates, or the market’s perception of anticipated changes in those rates. This introduces additional risk factors related to the movements in specific interest rates that may be difficult or impossible to hedge, and that also interact in a complex fashion with prepayment risks.

 

A wide variety of factors can cause interest rates or yields of U.S. Treasury securities or other types of bonds to rise (e.g., central bank monetary policies, inflation rates, general economic conditions, reduced market demand for low yielding investments, etc.). The risks associated with changing interest rates are heightened under current market conditions given that interest rates in the United States and many other countries have fluctuated in recent periods and may continue to change in the foreseeable future.

 

To the extent the Fund or an investment fund borrows money to finance its investments, the Fund’s or an investment fund’s performance will depend, in part, upon the difference between the rate at which it borrows funds and the rate at which it invests those funds. In periods of rising interest rates, the Fund’s cost of funds could increase. Adverse developments resulting from changes in interest rates could have a material adverse effect on the Fund’s or an investment fund’s financial condition and results of operations.

 

In addition, a decline in the prices of the debt the Fund or an investment fund owns could adversely affect the Fund’s net asset value. Changes in market interest rates could also affect the ability of operating companies in which the Fund or an investment fund invests to service debt, which could materially impact the Fund or an investment fund in which the Fund may invest, thus impacting the Fund.

SECURITIES BELIEVED TO BE UNDERVALUED OR INCORRECTLY VALUED. Securities that the Investment Adviser believes are fundamentally undervalued or incorrectly valued may not ultimately be valued in the capital markets at prices and/or within the time frame the Investment Adviser anticipates. As a result, the Fund may lose all or substantially all of its investment in such a security.

     
Illiquid Portfolio Investments Risk [Member]        
General Description of Registrant [Abstract]        
Risk [Text Block]

ILLIQUID PORTFOLIO INVESTMENTS. The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or other restrictions on transfer or for which no liquid market exists. The Fund may make investments that may become less liquid in response to market developments or geopolitical events such as sanctions, trading halts or wars, or adverse investor perceptions. The market prices, if any, for such investments tend to be volatile and the Fund may not be able to sell them when the Investment Adviser desires to do so or to realize what the Investment Adviser perceives to be their fair value in the event of a sale. The sale of restricted and illiquid investments often requires more time and results in higher brokerage charges or dealer discounts and other selling expenses than does the sale of securities eligible for trading on national securities exchanges or in the over the counter markets. Restricted securities may sell at prices that are lower than similar securities that are not subject to restrictions on resale.

     
Extension Risk [Member]

EXTENSION RISK. Rising interest rates tend to extend the duration of securities, making them more sensitive to changes in interest rates. The value of longer-term securities generally changes more in response to changes in interest rates than shorter-term securities. As a result, in a period of rising interest rates, securities may exhibit additional volatility and may lose value.

PREPAYMENT RISK. When interest rates decline, fixed income securities and bank loans and participations with stated interest rates may have their principal paid earlier than expected. This may result in the Fund having to reinvest that money at lower prevailing interest rates, which can reduce the returns of the Fund.

     
Other Investment Companies Risk [Member]        
General Description of Registrant [Abstract]        
Risk [Text Block]

OTHER INVESTMENT COMPANIES. The Fund may invest in the securities of other investment companies to the extent that such investments are consistent with the Fund’s investment objectives and permissible under the Investment Company Act. Under one provision of the Investment Company Act, the Fund may not acquire the securities of other investment companies if, as a result, (i) more than 10% of the Fund’s total assets would be invested in securities of other investment companies, (ii) such purchase would result in more than 3% of the total outstanding voting securities of any one investment company being held by the Fund or (iii) more than 5% of the Fund’s total assets would be invested in any one investment company. In some instances, the Fund may invest in an investment company in excess of these limits. For example, the Fund may invest in other registered investment companies, such as mutual funds, closed-end funds and ETFs, and in business development companies (“BDCs”) in excess of the statutory limits imposed by the Investment Company Act in reliance on Rule 12d1-4 under the Investment Company Act. These investments would be subject to the applicable conditions of Rule 12d1-4, which in part would affect or otherwise impose certain limits on the investments and operations of the underlying fund. Accordingly, if the Fund serves as an “underlying fund” to another investment company, the Fund’s ability to invest in other investment companies, private funds and other investment vehicles may be limited and, under these circumstances, the Fund’s investments in other investment companies, private funds and other investment vehicles will be consistent with applicable law and/or exemptive relief obtained from the SEC.

     
Valuation Risk [Member]        
General Description of Registrant [Abstract]        
Risk [Text Block]

VALUATION RISK. Unlike publicly traded common stock, which trades on national exchanges, there is no central place or exchange for shares or interests in some of the Fund’s investments to trade. Similarly, investments held by the Fund may also not be traded on an exchange or central marketplace. Due to the lack of centralized information and trading, the valuation of such investments may carry more risk than that of common stock. Uncertainties in the conditions of the financial and other markets, incomplete or unreliable reference data, human error, lack of transparency and inconsistency of valuation models and processes may lead to inaccurate asset pricing. In addition, other market participants may value securities differently than the Fund. As a result, the Fund may be subject to the risk that when an instrument is sold in the market, the amount received by the Fund is less than the value of such instruments carried on such fund’s books.

 

The Fund may value its investments at fair value. In general, fair value represents a good faith approximation of the current value of an asset. Shareholders should recognize that fair value pricing involve various judgments and consideration of factors that may be subjective and inexact. As a result, there can be no assurance that fair value priced assets will not result in future adjustments to the prices of securities or other assets, or that fair value pricing will reflect a price that the Fund is able to obtain upon sale. It is also possible that the fair value determined for a security or other asset will be materially different from quoted or published prices, from the prices used by others for the same security or other asset and/or from the value that actually could be or is realized upon the sale of that security or other asset. For example, the Fund’s NAV could be adversely affected if the Fund’s determinations regarding the fair value of the Fund’s investments were materially higher than the values that the Fund ultimately realizes upon the disposal of such investments. In addition, valuation for illiquid assets may require more research than for more liquid investments and elements of judgment may play a greater role in valuation in such cases than for investments with a more active secondary market because there is less reliable objective data available.

 

There may not exist readily available market quotations for certain investments of the Fund. The most relevant information may often be provided by the issuer of such investments, which information could be extremely limited and outdated, and it may be difficult or impossible to confirm or review the accuracy of such information. Further, the issuer of such investments may face a conflict of interest in providing information or valuations to the Fund.

     
Investment In Middle Market Companies Risk [Member]        
General Description of Registrant [Abstract]        
Risk [Text Block]

Investment in Middle Market Companies. The Fund plans to invest in debt of lower middle market companies. Investing in middle market companies involves a number of significant risks. Such companies may: have limited financial resources and may be unable to meet their obligations under their debt securities that the Fund holds, which may be accompanied by a deterioration in the value of any collateral and a reduction in the likelihood of the Fund realizing any guarantees the Fund may have obtained in connection with its investment; typically have shorter operating histories, narrower product lines and smaller market shares than larger businesses, which tend to render them more vulnerable to competitors’ actions and market conditions, as well as general economic downturns; are more likely to depend on the management talents and efforts of a small group of persons such that, the death, disability, resignation or termination of one or more of these persons could have a material adverse impact on the stability of the company and their ability to repay their debts; generally have less predictable operating results, may from time to time be parties to litigation, may be engaged in rapidly changing businesses with products subject to a substantial risk of obsolescence, and may require substantial additional capital to support their operations, finance expansion or maintain their competitive position; and may have difficulty accessing the capital markets to meet future capital needs, which may limit their ability to grow or to repay their outstanding indebtedness upon maturity.

     
Co Investment Risk [Member]        
General Description of Registrant [Abstract]        
Risk [Text Block]

CO-INVESTMENT RISKS. Co-investments involve risks not present in investments where third-party co-investors are not involved, including the possibility that a third-party co-investor may at any time have financial difficulties resulting in a negative impact on such investment, may have economic or business interests or goals that are inconsistent with those of the Fund, or may be in a position to take (or block) action in a manner contrary to the Fund’s investment objectives. In addition, the Fund may in certain circumstances be liable for actions of the third-party co-investors. Furthermore, if a co-investor defaults on its funding obligations, the Fund may be required to make up the shortfall and/or be subject to other penalties under the terms of the applicable co-investment.

 

It may also be difficult for the Fund to sell or otherwise dispose its interests in a co-investment. If control over a co-investment is shared with another person, deadlocks could result which could delay the execution of the business plan for such investment, require the Fund to engage in a buy-sell of the venture with the co-investor or conduct the forced sale of such investment or otherwise adversely affect such investment’s returns or value. As a result, the Fund may be unable to fully realize its expected return on any such co-investment.

 

Although the Investment Adviser will monitor the performance of each co-investment made by the Fund, there can be no assurance that any Investment Adviser will be able to manage a co-investment successfully.

 

The Investment Company Act imposes significant limits on co-investments with affiliates of the Fund. The Investment Adviser and the Fund have obtained an exemptive order from the SEC that permits the Fund, including any Subsidiary, to participate in certain negotiated investments (each, a “17(d) investment”) alongside affiliates of the Investment Adviser (the “Order”). The Order is subject to certain terms and conditions, including (i) that a majority of the Trustees of the Board who have no financial interest in the 17(d) investment transaction and a majority of the Trustees of the Board who are not “interested persons,” as defined in the Investment Company Act, approve the 17(d) investment and (ii) that the price, terms and conditions of the 17(d) investment will be identical for each fund and Subsidiary participating pursuant to the exemptive relief. Additionally, third parties, such as the investment managers of primary investments, may not prioritize an allocation to the Fund or a Subsidiary when faced with a more established pool of capital also competing for allocation. Ultimately, an inability to receive the desired allocation to certain investments could represent a risk to the Fund’s ability to achieve the desired investment returns. The Fund has applied for further exemptive relief that would eliminate certain of the conditions of the Order. There is no assurance that the Fund will receive such further exemptive relief, and if it is not able to do so, the Fund will continue to participate in 17(d) investments in compliance with the Order.

     
Synthetic Investments Risk [Member]        
General Description of Registrant [Abstract]        
Risk [Text Block]

SYNTHETIC INVESTMENTS RISK. The Fund may invest in synthetic investments, including SRT securities and credit risk transfer securities, which are fixed- or floating-rate unsecured general obligations issued by banks or other financial institutions, or acquire interests in lease agreements that have the general characteristics of loans and are treated as loans for withholding tax purposes. In addition to the credit risks associated with the applicable reference assets, the Fund will usually have a contractual relationship only with the counterparty of such synthetic investment, and not with the reference obligor of the reference asset. Accordingly, the Fund will generally have no right to directly enforce compliance by the reference obligor with the terms of the reference asset nor will it have any rights of setoff against the reference obligor or rights with respect to the reference asset. The Fund will not directly benefit from the collateral supporting the reference asset and will not have the benefit of the remedies that would normally be available to a holder of such reference asset. In addition, in the event of the insolvency of the counterparty, the Fund may be treated as a general creditor of such counterparty, and will not have any claim with respect to the reference asset.

     
Asset Backed Securities Risk [Member]        
General Description of Registrant [Abstract]        
Risk [Text Block]

Asset-Backed Securities Risks. Asset-backed securities are created by the grouping of certain governmental, government related and private loans, receivables and other non- mortgage 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.

 

Investors in asset-backed securities bear the credit risk of the assets/collateral. Tranches are categorized as senior, mezzanine, and subordinated/equity, according to their degree of credit risk. If there are defaults or the collateral otherwise underperforms, scheduled payments to senior tranches take precedence over those of mezzanine tranches, and scheduled payments to mezzanine tranches take precedence over those to subordinated/equity tranches. Senior and mezzanine tranches are typically rated, with the former receiving S&P Global Ratings (“S&P”) ratings of A to AAA and the latter receiving ratings of B to BBB. The ratings reflect both the credit quality of underlying collateral as well as how much protection a given tranche is afforded by tranches that are subordinate to it.

 

Because the loans held in the pool often may be prepaid without penalty or premium, asset-backed securities can be subject to higher prepayment risks than most other types of debt instruments.

 

Prepayments may result in a capital loss to the Fund. Securities purchased at a market discount from their stated principal amount may accelerate the recognition of interest income by the Fund, which would be taxed as ordinary income when distributed to the shareholders. The accelerated income recognition is reflected in an increase in the basis of the securities, which result in a capital loss when such securities are prepaid for less than the basis of the securities.

 

The credit characteristics of asset-backed securities also differ in a number of respects from those of traditional debt securities. The credit quality of most asset-backed securities depends primarily upon the credit quality of the assets/collateral underlying such securities, how well the entity issuing the securities is insulated from the credit risk of the originator or any other affiliated entities, and the amount and quality of any credit enhancement to such securities.

     
Bank Debt Transactions Risk [Member]        
General Description of Registrant [Abstract]        
Risk [Text Block]

Bank Debt Transactions. The Fund may invest in bank loans and participations, including first-lien, second-lien and unitranche loans. Bank loans are generally debt instruments that are secured by the assets of a borrower. Investing in bank loans involves risks that are additional to, and different from, those relating to investments in other types of debt and fixed-income securities. Special risks associated with investments in bank loans and participations include (i) the possible invalidation of an investment transaction as a fraudulent conveyance under relevant creditors’ rights laws, (ii) so-called lender-liability claims by the issuer of the obligations, (iii) environmental liabilities that may arise with respect to collateral securing the obligations, and (iv) limitations on the ability of the Fund to directly enforce its rights with respect to participations. Successful claims in respect of such matters may reduce the cash flow and/or market value of the Fund’s investment.

     
Collateralized Loan Obligations And Collateralized Debt Obligations Risk [Member]        
General Description of Registrant [Abstract]        
Risk [Text Block]

Collateralized Loan Obligations (“CLOs”) and Collateralized Debt Obligations (“CDOs”). The Fund may invest in CLOs and 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 SPV 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.

 

Investors in CLOs and CDOs bear the credit risk of the assets/collateral. Tranches are categorized as senior, mezzanine, and subordinated/equity, according to their degree of credit risk. If there are defaults or the CDO’s collateral otherwise underperforms, scheduled payments to senior tranches take precedence over those of mezzanine tranches, and scheduled payments to mezzanine tranches take precedence over those to subordinated/equity tranches. Senior and mezzanine tranches are typically rated, with the former receiving S&P Global Ratings (“S&P”) ratings of A to AAA and the latter receiving ratings of B to BBB. The ratings reflect both the credit quality of underlying collateral as well as how much protection a given tranche is afforded by tranches that are subordinate to it.

 

Because the loans held in the pool often may be prepaid without penalty or premium, CLOs and CDOs can be subject to higher prepayment risks than most other types of debt instruments. Prepayments may result in a capital loss to the Fund to the extent that the prepaid securities purchased at a market discount from their stated principal amount will accelerate the recognition of interest income by the Fund, which would be taxed as ordinary income when distributed to the Shareholders. The credit characteristics of CLOs and CDOs also differ in a number of respects from those of traditional debt securities. The credit quality of most CLOs and CDOs depends primarily upon the credit quality of the assets/collateral underlying such securities, how well the entity issuing the securities is insulated from the credit risk of the originator or any other affiliated entities, and the amount and quality of any credit enhancement to such securities.

 

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. The Fund’s investments in (i) CLOs, (ii) CDOs, and (iii) warehouses, which are financing structures created prior to and in anticipation of CLO or CDO closings and issuing securities and are intended to aggregate direct loans, corporate loans and/or other debt obligations that may be used to form the basis of CLO or CDO vehicles (“Warehouses”), in each case structured as 3(c)(1) or 3(c)(7) funds, are not included for purposes of the Fund’s 15% limitation on private investment funds.

 

In addition to the typical risks associated with fixed-income securities and asset-backed securities, CLOs and CDOs carry other risks including, but not limited to: (i) the possibility that distributions from collateral securities will not be adequate to make interest or other payments; (ii) the risk that the collateral may default, decline in value or quality, or be downgraded by a rating agency; (iii) the Fund may invest in tranches of CLOs and CDOs that are subordinate to other tranches, diminishing the likelihood of payment; (iv) the structure and complexity of the transaction and the legal documents could lead to disputes with the issuer or unexpected investment results; (v) risk of forced “fire sale” liquidation due to technical defaults such as coverage test failures; and (vi) the manager of the CLO or CDO may perform poorly.

     
Reverse Repurchase Agreement Risk [Member]        
General Description of Registrant [Abstract]        
Risk [Text Block]

REVERSE REPURCHASE AGREEMENT RISK. The Fund intends to enter into reverse repurchase transactions with banks and securities dealers. A reverse repurchase transaction is a repurchase transaction in which the Fund is the seller of, rather than the investor in, securities or other assets and agrees to repurchase them at a date certain or on demand. Use of a reverse repurchase transaction may be preferable to a regular sale and later repurchase of securities or other assets because it avoids certain market risks and transaction costs. Reverse repurchase transactions involve the risk that the market value of securities and/or other assets purchased by the Fund with the proceeds received by the Fund in connection with such reverse repurchase transactions may decline below the market value of the securities the Fund is obligated to repurchase under such transactions. They also involve the risk that the counterparty may liquidate the securities delivered to it by the Fund under the reverse repurchase agreement following the occurrence of an event of default by the Fund under the reverse repurchase agreement. At the time when the Fund enters into a reverse repurchase transaction, liquid securities (e.g., cash, U.S. Government securities or other “high grade” debt obligations) of the Fund having a value at least as great as the purchase price of the securities to be purchased will be segregated on the books of the Fund throughout the period of the obligation. The use of these investment strategies may increase net asset value fluctuation.

     
Structured Products Risk [Member]        
General Description of Registrant [Abstract]        
Risk [Text Block]

Structured Products. The CLOs, other CDOs and credit-linked notes in which the Fund may invest are structured products. Holders of structured products bear risks of the underlying assets and are subject to counterparty risk.

 

The Fund may have the right to receive payments only from the structured product and generally does not have direct rights against the issuer or the entity that sold the assets to be securitized. While certain structured products enable the investor to acquire interests in a pool of securities without the brokerage and other expenses associated with directly holding the same securities, investors in structured products generally pay their share of the structured product’s administrative and other expenses. Although it is difficult to predict whether the prices of assets underlying structured products will rise or fall, these prices (and, therefore, the prices of structured products) will be influenced by the same types of political and economic events that affect issuers of securities and capital markets generally. If the issuer of a structured product uses shorter-term financing to purchase longer-term securities, the issuer may be forced to sell its securities at below-market prices if it experiences difficulty in obtaining short-term financing, which may adversely affect the value of the structured products owned by the Fund.

 

Certain structured products may be thinly traded or have a limited trading market. CLOs, CDOs and credit-linked notes are typically privately offered and sold. As a result, investments in structured products may be characterized by the Fund as illiquid securities. In addition to the general risks associated with fixed-income securities, structured products carry additional risks, including, but not limited to: (i) the possibility that distributions from collateral securities will not be adequate to make interest or other payments; (ii) the quality of the collateral may decline in value or default; (iii) the possibility that the investments in structured products are subordinate to other classes or tranches thereof; (iv) the complex structure of the security may not be fully understood at the time of investment and may produce disputes with the issuer or unexpected investment results; and (iv) a forced “fire sale” liquidation may occur due to technical defaults such as coverage test failures and (vi) the manager of the CLO or CDO may perform poorly.

     
First Lien Senior Secured Loans Second Lien Senior Secured Loans And Unitranche Debt Risk [Member]        
General Description of Registrant [Abstract]        
Risk [Text Block]

First Lien Senior Secured Loans, Second Lien Senior Secured Loans and Unitranche Debt. When the Fund invests, directly or indirectly, in first lien senior secured loans, second lien senior secured loans, and unitranche debt of portfolio companies, the Fund will generally seek to take a security interest in the available assets of those portfolio companies, including the equity interests of the portfolio companies’ subsidiaries. There is a risk that the collateral securing these loans may decrease in value over time or lose its entire value, may be difficult to sell in a timely manner, may be difficult to appraise and may fluctuate in value based upon the success of the business and market conditions, including as a result of the inability of the portfolio company to raise additional capital. To the extent a debt investment is collateralized by the securities of a portfolio company’s subsidiaries, such securities may lose some or all of their value in the event of the bankruptcy or insolvency of the portfolio company. Also, in some circumstances, the Fund’s lien may be contractually or structurally subordinated to claims of other creditors. In addition, deterioration in a portfolio company’s financial condition and prospects, including its inability to raise additional capital, may be accompanied by deterioration in the value of the collateral for the loan. Loans that are under- collateralized involve a greater risk of loss. Consequently, the fact that a loan is secured does not guarantee that the Fund will receive principal and interest payments according to the loan’s terms, or at all, or that the Fund will be able to collect on the loan should the remedies be enforced. Finally, particularly with respect to a unitranche debt structure, unitranche debt will generally have higher leverage levels than a standard first lien term loan.

     
Mezzanine Investments Risk [Member]        
General Description of Registrant [Abstract]        
Risk [Text Block]

Mezzanine Investments. The Fund may, directly or indirectly, invest in mezzanine loans. Structurally, mezzanine loans usually rank subordinate in priority of payment to senior debt, such as senior bank debt, and are often unsecured. However, mezzanine loans rank senior to common and preferred equity in a borrower’s capital structure. Mezzanine debt is often used in leveraged buyout and real estate finance transactions. Typically, mezzanine loans have elements of both debt and equity instruments, offering the fixed returns in the form of interest payments associated with senior debt, while providing lenders an opportunity to participate in the capital appreciation of a borrower, if any, through an equity interest. This equity interest typically takes the form of warrants. Due to their higher risk profile and often less restrictive covenants as compared to senior loans, mezzanine loans generally earn a higher return than senior secured loans. The warrants associated with mezzanine loans are typically detachable, which allows lenders to receive repayment of their principal on an agreed amortization schedule while retaining their equity interest in the borrower. Mezzanine loans also may include a “put” feature, which permits the holder to sell its equity interest back to the borrower at a price determined through an agreed-upon formula. Mezzanine investments may be issued with or without registration rights. Similar to other high yield securities, maturities of mezzanine investments are typically seven to ten years, but the expected average life is significantly shorter at three to six years. Mezzanine investments are usually unsecured and subordinate to other debt obligations of an issuer.

     
Secured Debt Risk [Member]        
General Description of Registrant [Abstract]        
Risk [Text Block]

Secured Debt. Secured debt holds the most senior position in the capital structure of a borrower. Secured debt in most circumstances is fully collateralized by assets of the borrower. Thus, it is generally repaid before unsecured bank loans, corporate bonds, subordinated debt, trade creditors, and preferred or common stockholders. However, there is a risk that the collateral securing the Fund’s loans may decrease in value over time, may be difficult to sell in a timely manner, may be difficult to appraise, and may fluctuate in value based upon the success of the business and market conditions, including as a result of the inability of the borrower to raise additional capital. Also, substantial increases in interest rates may cause an increase in loan defaults as borrowers may lack resources to meet higher debt service requirements. In some circumstances, the Fund’s security interest could be subordinated to claims of other creditors. In addition, any deterioration in a borrower’s financial condition and prospects, including any inability on its part to raise additional capital, may result in the deterioration in the value of the related collateral. Consequently, the fact that debt is secured does not guarantee that the Fund will receive principal and interest payments according to the investment terms or at all, or that the Fund will be able to collect on the investment should the Fund be forced to enforce its remedies. Moreover, the security for the Fund’s investments in secured debt may not be recognized for a variety of reasons, including the failure to make required filings by lenders, trustees or other responsible parties and, as a result, the Fund may not have priority over other creditors as anticipated.

 

Secured debt usually includes restrictive covenants, which must be maintained by the borrower. The Fund may have an obligation with respect to certain senior secured term loan investments to make additional loans, including delayed draw term loans and revolving facilities, upon demand by the borrower. Such instruments, unlike certain bonds, usually do not have call protection. This means that such interests, while having a stated term, may be prepaid, often without penalty. The rate of such prepayments may be affected by, among other things, general business and economic conditions, as well as the financial status of the borrower. Prepayment would cause the actual duration of a senior loan to be shorter than its stated maturity.

 

Secured debt typically will be secured by pledges of collateral from the borrower in the form of tangible and intangible assets. In some instances, the Fund may invest in secured debt that is secured only by stock of the borrower or its Subsidiaries or affiliates. The value of the collateral may decline below the principal amount of the senior secured term loans subsequent to an investment by the Fund.

     
Unsecured Loans Risk [Member]        
General Description of Registrant [Abstract]        
Risk [Text Block]

Unsecured Loans. The Fund may make unsecured loans to borrowers, meaning that such loans will not benefit from any interest in collateral of such borrowers. Liens on such a borrower’s collateral, if any, will secure the borrower’s obligations under its outstanding secured debt and may secure certain future debt that is permitted to be incurred by the borrower under its secured loan agreements. The holders of obligations secured by such liens will generally control the liquidation of, and be entitled to receive proceeds from, any realization of such collateral to repay their obligations in full before the Fund. In addition, the value of such collateral in the event of liquidation will depend on market and economic conditions, the availability of buyers and other factors. There can be no assurance that the proceeds, if any, from sales of such collateral would be sufficient to satisfy the Fund’s unsecured loan obligations after payment in full of all secured loan obligations. If such proceeds were not sufficient to repay the outstanding secured loan obligations, then the Fund’s unsecured claims generally would rank equally with the unpaid portion of such secured creditors’ claims against the borrower’s remaining assets, if any.

     
Low Credit Quality Securities Risk [Member]        
General Description of Registrant [Abstract]        
Risk [Text Block]

LOW CREDIT QUALITY SECURITIES. The Fund is permitted to invest in particularly risky investments that also may offer the potential for correspondingly high returns. As a result, the Fund may lose all or substantially all of its investment in any particular instance. There is no minimum credit standard as a prerequisite to an investment in any security. Debt securities, including bank loans and participations, may be less than investment grade and may be considered to be “junk bonds” or be distressed or “special situations” with heightened risk of loss and/or liquidity. “Junk bonds” are considered by the rating agencies to be predominately speculative and may involve major risk exposures such as: (i) vulnerability to economic downturns and changes in interest rates; (ii) sensitivity to adverse economic changes and corporate developments; (iii) redemption or call provisions that may be exercised at inopportune times; and (iv) difficulty in accurately valuing or disposing of such securities. Such securities may rank junior to other outstanding securities and obligations of the issuer, all or a significant portion of whose debt securities may be secured by substantially all of the issuer’s assets. Moreover, the Fund may invest in securities that are not protected by financial covenants or limitations on additional indebtedness.

     
Debtor In Possession Loans Risk [Member]        
General Description of Registrant [Abstract]        
Risk [Text Block]

Debtor-in-Possession (“DIP”) Loans. From time to time, the Fund may invest in or extend loans to companies that have filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. These debtor-in- possession or DIP loans are most often revolving working-capital facilities put into place at the outset of a Chapter 11 case to provide the debtor with both immediate cash and the ongoing working capital that will be required during the reorganization process. While such loans are generally less risky than many other types of loans as a result of their seniority in the debtor’s capital structure and because their terms have been approved by a federal bankruptcy court order, it is possible that the debtor’s reorganization efforts may fail and the proceeds of the ensuing liquidation of the DIP lender’s collateral might be insufficient to repay in full the DIP loan.

     
Covenant Lite Loans Risk [Member]        
General Description of Registrant [Abstract]        
Risk [Text Block]

“COVENANT-LITE” LOANS RISK. Although most of the Fund’s loan investments are expected to include both incurrence and maintenance-based covenants, there may be instances in which the Fund invests in covenant-lite loans, which means the obligation contains fewer maintenance covenants than other obligations, or no maintenance covenants, and may not include terms that allow the lender to monitor the performance of the borrower and declare a default if certain criteria are breached. An investment by the Fund in a covenant-lite loan may potentially hinder the Fund’s ability to reprice credit risk associated with the issuer and reduce the Fund’s ability to restructure a problematic loan and mitigate potential loss. As a result, the Fund’s exposure to losses may be increased, which could result in an adverse impact on the Fund’s revenues, net income and NAV.

 

In liquidation (both in and out of bankruptcy) and other forms of corporate reorganization, there exists the risk that the reorganization either will be unsuccessful (due to, for example, failure to obtain requisite approvals), will be delayed (for example, until various liabilities, actual or contingent, have been satisfied) or will result in a distribution of cash or a new security the value of which will be less than the purchase price to the Fund of the security in respect to which such distribution was made.

 

In certain transactions, the Fund may not be “hedged” against market fluctuations, or, in liquidation situations, may not accurately value the assets of the company being liquidated. This can result in losses, even if the proposed transaction is consummated.

     
Distressed Securities Risk [Member]        
General Description of Registrant [Abstract]        
Risk [Text Block]

DISTRESSED SECURITIES. Certain of the companies in whose securities the Fund may invest may be in transition, out of favor, financially leveraged or troubled, or potentially troubled, and may be or have recently been involved in major strategic actions, restructurings, bankruptcy, reorganization or liquidation. These may also be securities that are rated in the lower rating categories by one or more nationally recognized statistical rating organizations (for example, Ca or lower by Moody’s and CC or lower by S&P or Fitch) or, if unrated, are in the judgment of the investment manager of equivalent quality. These characteristics of these companies can cause their securities to be particularly risky, although they also may offer the potential for high returns. These companies’ securities may be considered speculative, and the ability of the companies to pay their debts on schedule could be affected by adverse interest rate movements, changes in the general economic factors affecting a particular industry or specific developments within the companies. Such investments can result in significant or even total losses. In addition, the markets for distressed investment assets are frequently illiquid.

     
Syndications And Or Transfer Of Debt Instruments Risk [Member]        
General Description of Registrant [Abstract]        
Risk [Text Block]

Syndications and/or Transfer of Debt Instruments. The Fund indirectly will originate and/or acquire loans and other assets. The Fund may also, from time to time, purchase loans or other assets (including participation interests or other indirect economic interests) that have been originated by one or more other accounts or from other unaffiliated parties and/or trading in the secondary market. The Fund expects to originate or purchase such debt assets in certain circumstances with the intent of syndicating and/or otherwise transferring or offering to transfer a significant portion thereof (including, without limitation, corresponding portions of outstanding principal and future interest, and a corresponding amount of unamortized fees), including to one or more other accounts. In such instances, the Fund will bear the risk of any decline in value prior to any syndication and/or other transfer to other accounts or third parties, as well as the risk of inability to syndicate or otherwise transfer such loans or other assets or such amount thereof as originally intended (and including as a result of any such loans not being approved by such independent committee of certain other accounts to which they are offered, if applicable), which could result in the Fund owning a greater interest than originally anticipated.

     
Assignments And Participations Risk [Member]        
General Description of Registrant [Abstract]        
Risk [Text Block]

Assignments and Participations. The Fund may occasionally acquire and hold interests in loans either directly (by purchase from the issuer or by assignment) or indirectly (by way of participation). Holders of participation interests are subject to additional risks not applicable to a holder of a direct interest in a loan. The purchaser of an assignment of a loan obligation typically succeeds to all the rights and obligations of the selling institution and becomes a lender under the loan or credit agreement with respect to the loan obligation. As a purchaser of an assignment, the Fund generally will have the same voting rights as other lenders under the applicable loan agreement. Assignments are, however, arranged through private negotiations between assignees and assignors, and in certain cases the rights and obligations acquired by the purchaser of an assignment may differ from, and be more limited than, those held by the assigning selling institution.

     
Risks Relating To Secondary Investments Risk [Member]        
General Description of Registrant [Abstract]        
Risk [Text Block]

RISKS RELATING TO SECONDARY INVESTMENTS. The Fund may, on occasion, acquire loans in the secondary market. In many cases, the economic, financial and other information available to and used by the Investment Adviser in selecting and structuring such secondary investments may be incomplete or unreliable. Valuations of secondary investments may be difficult since there generally will be no established market for such interests. The Fund may not have the opportunity to negotiate the terms of secondary investments, including any special rights and privileges. Moreover, the purchase price of secondary investments will be subject to negotiation with the sellers of such interests and may, in certain cases, include the Fund’s assumption of certain contingent liabilities resulting from activity that transpired prior to the secondary investment. The overall performance of a secondary investment will depend in part on the accuracy of the information available to the Investment Adviser, the acquisition price paid by the Fund for such secondary investment and the structure of such acquisitions and the Fund’s ultimate exposure to any assumed liabilities.

 

The Fund may have the opportunity to acquire a portfolio of secondary investments from a seller on an “all or nothing” basis. Certain secondary investments in such a portfolio may be less attractive than others, and certain of the sponsors of such secondary investments may be more familiar to the Investment Adviser than others or may be more experienced or highly regarded than others. It may not be possible for the Fund to carve out from such purchases those investments which the Investment Adviser considers less attractive for commercial, tax, legal or other reasons.

 

Sellers in certain secondary market transactions might require that the Investment Adviser complete its investment analysis and come to a decision within a relatively short time. In such cases, the information available at the time of an investment decision may be limited, and the Investment Adviser may not have access to the detailed information necessary for a thorough evaluation of the investment opportunity.

     
Follow On Investments Risk [Member]

FOLLOW-ON INVESTMENTS. The Fund may be called upon to provide follow-on funding for its portfolio companies or have the opportunity to increase its investment in portfolio companies. There can be no assurance that the Fund will wish to make such follow-on investments or that the Fund will have sufficient capital to do so. Any decision not to make follow-on investments or the inability to make them may have a substantial negative impact on a portfolio company in need of such an investment or may diminish the Fund’s proportionate ownership in such portfolio company and thus its ability to influence such portfolio company’s future development.

     
Participation On Creditors Committees Risk [Member]

Risk [Text Block]

PARTICIPATION ON CREDITORS’ COMMITTEES. The Fund may participate on committees formed by creditors to negotiate the management of financially troubled companies that may or may not be in bankruptcy or the Fund may seek to negotiate directly with the debtors with respect to restructuring issues. If the Fund does join a creditors’ committee, the participants of the committee would be interested in obtaining an outcome that is in their respective individual best interests and there can be no assurance of obtaining results most favorable to the Fund in such proceedings. By participating on such committees, the Fund may be deemed to have duties to other creditors represented by the committees, which might thereby expose the Fund to liability to such other creditors who disagree with the Fund’s actions.

     
Lender Liability Equitable Subordination Risk [Member]        
General Description of Registrant [Abstract]        
Risk [Text Block]

LENDER LIABILITY; EQUITABLE SUBORDINATION. A number of judicial decisions have upheld judgments of obligors against lending institutions on the basis of various evolving legal theories, collectively termed “lender liability.” Generally, lender liability is founded on the premise that a lender has violated a duty (whether implied or contractual) of good faith, commercial reasonableness and fair dealing or a similar duty owed to the obligor or has assumed an excessive degree of control over the obligor resulting in the creation of a fiduciary duty owed to the obligor or its other creditors or equityholders. Because of the nature of the Fund’s assets, the Fund may be subject to claims of lender liability.

 

In addition, under certain legal principles that in some cases form the basis for lender liability claims, if a lender, bondholder or other creditor (a) intentionally takes an action that results in the undercapitalization of a obligor to the detriment of other creditors of such obligor, (b) engages in other inequitable conduct to the detriment of such other creditors, (c) engages in fraud with respect to, or makes misrepresentations to, such other creditors or (d) uses its influence as a equityholder to dominate or control an obligor to the detriment of other creditors of such obligor, a court may elect to subordinate the claim of the offending lender, bondholder or other creditor to the claims of the disadvantaged creditor or creditors, a remedy called “equitable subordination.” Because of its nature, the Fund’s assets may be subject to claims of equitable subordination.

 

Since the Fund and/or affiliates of, or persons related to, the Investment Adviser may hold equity or other interests in obligors of the Fund’s assets, the Fund could be exposed to claims for equitable subordination, lender liability or both based on such equity or other holdings.

     
Closed End Fund Risk [Member]        
General Description of Registrant [Abstract]        
Risk [Text Block]

CLOSED-END FUND RISK. The Fund may invest in investment funds that are closed-end investment companies registered under the Investment Company Act. The shares of many closed-end funds, after their initial public offering, frequently trade at a price-per-share that is less than the NAV per share, the difference representing the “market discount” of such shares. A relative lack of secondary market purchasers for closed-end fund shares also may contribute to such shares trading at a market discount.

     
Cayman Subsidiary Investment Risk [Member]        
General Description of Registrant [Abstract]        
Risk [Text Block]

CAYMAN SUBSIDIARY INVESTMENT RISK. The Fund may make investments through the Cayman Subsidiary. By investing in the Cayman Subsidiary, the Fund is indirectly exposed to the risks associated with the Cayman Subsidiary’s investments. The investments held by the Cayman Subsidiary are subject to the same risks that apply to investments if held directly by the Fund. These risks are described elsewhere in this Prospectus.

 

The Subsidiary is not registered under the Investment Company Act, and, unless otherwise noted in this Prospectus, is not subject to all the investor protections of the Investment Company Act. However, the Fund wholly owns and controls the Cayman Subsidiary, making it unlikely that the Cayman Subsidiary will take action contrary to the interests of the Fund and its shareholders. The Board has oversight responsibility for the investment activities of the Fund, including its investment in the Cayman Subsidiary, and the Fund's role as sole shareholder of the Cayman Subsidiary. The Cayman Subsidiary will be subject to the same investment restrictions and limitations, and follow the same compliance policies and procedures, as the Fund.

 

Changes in the laws of the United States and/or the Cayman Islands could result in the inability of the Fund and/or the Cayman Subsidiary to operate as described in this Prospectus and in the SAI and could adversely affect the Fund. For example, the Cayman Islands does not currently impose any income, corporate or capital gains tax, estate duty, inheritance tax, gift tax or withholding tax on the Cayman Subsidiary. If Cayman Islands law changes such that the Cayman Subsidiary must pay Cayman Islands taxes, Fund shareholders would likely suffer decreased investment returns.

 

The Cayman Subsidiary will be disregarded as an entity separate from the Fund for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Accordingly, the assets and activities of the Cayman Subsidiary, as well as its income, gain, loss and deduction, will be directly attributed to the Fund. If the Cayman Subsidiary earns income that is not qualifying income, the Fund will be treated as earning income that is not qualifying income for purposes of the Fund remaining qualified as a RIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

REGULATION S SECURITIES. The Fund may invest in the securities of U.S. and non-U.S. issuers that are issued through private offerings without registration with the SEC pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act. Offerings of Regulation S securities may be conducted outside of the United States. Because Regulation S securities are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale, certain Regulation S securities may be considered illiquid. Although Regulation S securities may be resold in offshore or privately negotiated transactions, the price realized from these sales could be less than those originally paid by the Fund.

     
Liquidity Constraints Of Investment Funds Risk [Member]        
General Description of Registrant [Abstract]        
Risk [Text Block]

LIQUIDITY CONSTRAINTS OF INVESTMENT FUNDS. Since the Fund may make additional investments in or affect withdrawals from an investment fund only at certain times pursuant to limitations set forth in the governing documents of the investment fund, the Fund from time to time may have to invest a greater portion of its assets temporarily in money market securities than it otherwise might wish to invest and may have to borrow money to repurchase Shares. The redemption or withdrawal provisions regarding the investment funds vary from fund to fund. Therefore, the Fund may not be able to withdraw its investment in an investment fund promptly after it has made a decision to do so. Some investment funds may impose early redemption fees while others may not. This may adversely affect the Fund’s investment return or increase the Fund’s expenses and limit the Fund’s ability to make offers to repurchase Shares from Shareholders. Some investment funds may be permitted to redeem their interests in-kind. Thus, upon the Fund’s withdrawal of all or a portion of its interest in such an investment fund, it may receive securities that are illiquid or difficult to value. In these circumstances, the Investment Adviser may choose to hold these securities or to seek to dispose of these securities in a manner that is in the best interests of the Fund. Limitations on the Fund’s ability to withdraw its assets from investment funds may, as a result, limit the Fund’s ability to repurchase Shares. For example, some investment funds may impose lock-up periods prior to allowing withdrawals, which can be for up to two years or longer from the date of the Fund’s investment. After expiration of the lock-up period, withdrawals may be permitted only on a limited basis, such as semi-annually or annually. It is possible that, from time to time, a source of funds to repurchase Shares may be withdrawals from investment funds, the application of these lock-ups and other withdrawal limitations, such as gates or suspension provisions, may limit the Fund’s ability to tender its Shares for repurchase.

     
Multiple Levels Of Fees And Expenses Risk [Member]        
General Description of Registrant [Abstract]        
Risk [Text Block]

MULTIPLE LEVELS OF FEES AND EXPENSES. Although in many cases investor access to the investment funds may be limited or unavailable, an investor who meets the conditions imposed by an investment fund may be able to invest directly with the investment fund. By investing in investment funds indirectly through the Fund, the investor bears asset-based fees and may indirectly bear performance-based fees and allocations. Moreover, investors in the Fund bear a proportionate share of the fees and expenses of the Fund (including organizational and offering expenses, operating costs, sales charges, brokerage transaction expenses, and administrative fees) and, indirectly, similar expenses of the investment funds. Thus, an investor in the Fund may be subject to higher operating expenses than if he or she invested in an investment fund directly. Some investment funds may be subject to a performance-based fee or allocation, irrespective of the performance of other investment funds and the Fund generally. Accordingly, an underlying manager to certain investment funds with positive performance may receive performance-based compensation from the investment fund, and thus indirectly from the Fund and its Shareholders, even if the Fund’s overall performance is negative. Generally, fees payable to underlying managers of the investment funds will range from 0% to 2.85% (annualized) of the average NAV of the Fund’s investment. In addition, certain underlying managers charge an incentive allocation or fee generally ranging from 0% to 35% of an investment fund’s net profits, although it is possible that such ranges may be exceeded for certain underlying managers. The performance-based compensation received by an underlying manager also may create an incentive for that underlying manager to make investments that are riskier or more speculative than those that it might have made in the absence of the performance-based allocation. Such compensation may be based on calculations of realized and unrealized gains made by the underlying manager without independent oversight.

     
Underlying Managers Invest Independently Risk [Member]        
General Description of Registrant [Abstract]        
Risk [Text Block]

UNDERLYING MANAGERS INVEST INDEPENDENTLY. The underlying managers generally invest wholly independently of one another and may at times hold economically offsetting positions. To the extent that the investment funds do, in fact, hold such positions, the Fund’s portfolio, considered as a whole, may not achieve any gain or loss despite incurring fees and expenses in connection with such positions. Furthermore, it is possible that from time to time, various investment funds selected by the Investment Adviser may be competing with each other for the same positions in one or more markets. To the extent that the investment funds do, in fact, hold the same positions, the Fund’s portfolio, considered as a whole, may experience magnified gain or loss corresponding with the same position held by each investment fund and incur additional fees and expenses in connection with the same position.

     
Lack Of Control Over Underlying Managers Risk [Member]        
General Description of Registrant [Abstract]        
Risk [Text Block]

LACK OF CONTROL OVER UNDERLYING MANAGERS. The Fund will invest in investment funds that it believes will generally, and in the aggregate, be managed in a manner consistent with the Fund’s investment objective and strategy. The Investment Adviser will not have any control over the underlying managers, thus there can be no assurances that an underlying manager will manage its investment funds in a manner consistent with the Fund’s investment objective. The Investment Adviser may be constrained by the withdrawal limitations imposed by private investment funds, which may restrict the Fund’s ability to terminate investments in private investment funds that are performing poorly or have otherwise had adverse changes. The Investment Adviser will be dependent on information provided by the private investment funds, including quarterly unaudited financial statements, which if inaccurate, could adversely affect the Investment Adviser’s ability to manage the Fund’s investment portfolio in accordance with its investment objectives and/or the Fund’s ability to calculate its net asset value accurately. By investing in the Fund, a Shareholder will not be deemed to be an investor in any investment fund and will not have the ability to exercise any rights attributable to an investor in any such investment fund related to their investment.

     
Valuation Of Investment Funds Risk [Member]        
General Description of Registrant [Abstract]        
Risk [Text Block]

VALUATION OF INVESTMENT FUNDS. Although the Investment Adviser, as part of their review of potential investment funds, review the valuation procedures used by all underlying managers, neither the Investment Adviser nor the Administrator can generally confirm or review the accuracy of valuations provided by investment funds or their administrators. Further, the Placement Agent does not have any responsibility or obligation to verify the valuation determinations made for the Fund’s investments, including valuation determinations with respect to the investment funds. An underlying manager to an investment fund may face a conflict of interest in valuing such securities since their values will affect the underlying manager’s compensation. If an underlying manager’s valuations are consistently delayed or inaccurate, the Investment Adviser generally will consider whether the investment fund continues to be an appropriate investment for the Fund. The Fund may be unable to sell interests in a private investment fund quickly, and could therefore be obligated to continue to hold such interests for an extended period of time. In such a case, such interests would continue to be valued without the benefit of the underlying manager’s valuations, and the Investment Adviser may determine to discount the value of the interests or value them at zero, if deemed to be the fair value of such holding. Revisions to the Fund’s gain and loss calculations will be an ongoing process, and no appreciation or depreciation figure can be considered final until the annual audits of investment funds are completed. Promoting transparency and receiving necessary information from investment funds, especially private investment funds, may possibly be an impediment to monitoring the performance of such investment funds on a regular basis.

     
Valuations Subject To Adjustment Risk [Member]        
General Description of Registrant [Abstract]        
Risk [Text Block]

VALUATIONS SUBJECT TO ADJUSTMENT. The valuations reported by private investment funds, based upon which the Fund determines its month-end net asset value and the net asset value per Share, may be subject to later adjustment or revision. For example, fiscal year-end net asset value calculations of private investment funds may be revised as a result of audits by their independent auditors. Other adjustments may occur from time to time. Because such adjustments or revisions, whether increasing or decreasing the net asset value of the Fund at the time they occur, relate to information available only at the time of the adjustment or revision, the adjustment or revision may not affect the amount of the repurchase proceeds of the Fund received by Shareholders who had their Shares repurchased prior to such adjustments and received their repurchase proceeds, subject to the ability of the Fund to adjust or recoup the repurchase proceeds received by Shareholders under certain circumstances as described in “TENDER/REPURCHASE PROCEDURES.” As a result, to the extent that such subsequently adjusted valuations from the private investment funds or revisions to the net asset value of a private investment fund or direct private equity investment adversely affect the Fund’s net asset value, the outstanding Shares may be adversely affected by prior repurchases to the benefit of Shareholders who had their Shares repurchased at a net asset value higher than the adjusted amount. Conversely, any increases in the net asset value resulting from such subsequently adjusted valuations may be entirely for the benefit of the outstanding Shares and to the detriment of Shareholders who previously had their Shares repurchased at a net asset value lower than the adjusted amount. The same principles apply to the purchase of Shares. New Shareholders may be affected in a similar way.

INDEMNIFICATION OF INVESTMENT FUNDS. The underlying managers often have broad indemnification rights and limitations on liability. The Fund may also agree to indemnify certain of the investment funds and, subject to certain limitations imposed by the Investment Company Act and the Securities Act, as amended, their underlying managers from any liability, damage, cost, or expense arising out of, among other things, certain acts or omissions relating to the offer or sale of the shares of the investment funds.

     
No Registration Of Certain Investment Funds Risk [Member]        
General Description of Registrant [Abstract]        
Risk [Text Block]

NO REGISTRATION OF CERTAIN INVESTMENT FUNDS. Some investment funds may not be registered as investment companies under the Investment Company Act. Accordingly, the provisions of the Investment Company Act, which, among other things, require investment companies to have securities held in custody at all times in segregated accounts and regulate the relationship between the investment company and its asset management, might not apply to an investment in these investment funds. In addition, these investment funds may not be obligated to disclose the contents of their portfolios. This lack of transparency may make it difficult for the Investment Adviser to monitor whether holdings of these investment funds cause the Fund to be above specified levels of ownership in certain investment strategies. Although the Fund expects to receive information from each underlying manager regarding its investment performance on a regular basis, in most cases there is little or no means of independently verifying this information. An underlying manager may use proprietary investment strategies that are not fully disclosed to its investors and may involve risks under some market conditions that are not anticipated by the Fund. In addition, while many of these underlying managers will register with the SEC and state agencies as a result of developments in certain laws, rules and regulations, some underlying managers may still be exempt from registration. In such cases, these underlying managers will not be subject to various disclosure requirements and rules that would apply to registered investment advisers. Similarly, while many of these underlying managers will register as commodity pool operators under the Commodity Exchange Act, other underlying managers will be exempt from registration and will not be subject to various disclosure requirements and rules that would apply to registered commodity pool operators.

     
Fund Distribution Risk [Member]

Risk [Text Block]

FUND DISTRIBUTION RISK. The Fund currently expects to make distributions on a regular basis. While the Fund will normally pay its income as distributions, the Fund's distributions may exceed the Fund's income and gains for the Fund's taxable year. The Fund may reduce its distributions if it has insufficient income. Distributions in excess of the Fund's current and accumulated earnings and profits will be treated as a return of capital. Distributions in excess of the Fund's minimum distribution requirements, but not in excess of the Fund's earnings and profits, will be taxable to Shareholders and will not constitute nontaxable returns of capital. A return of capital distribution generally will not be taxable but will reduce the Shareholder's cost basis and will result in a higher capital gain or lower capital loss when those Fund shares on which the distribution was received are sold. Once a Shareholder's cost basis is reduced to zero, further distributions will be treated as capital gain, if the Shareholder holds shares of the Fund as capital assets. Additionally, any capital returned through distributions will be distributed after payment of Fund fees and expenses. Because the Fund's distributions may consist of return of capital, the Fund may not be an appropriate investment for investors who do not want their principal investment in the Fund to decrease over time or who do not wish to receive return of capital in a given period.

For instance, the economy may be significantly impacted by the advanced development and increased regulation of artificial intelligence. As the use of technology grows, liquidity and market movements may be affected. As artificial intelligence is used more widely, the profitability and growth of Fund holdings may be impacted, which could significantly impact the overall performance of the Fund.

[1] For its provision of advisory services to the Fund, the Investment Adviser receives an annual Management Fee and Incentive Fee. The Management Fee is payable monthly in arrears, equal to 1.00% of the Fund’s net assets determined as of month-end. The Management Fee will be paid to the Investment Adviser before giving effect to any repurchase of Shares in the Fund effective as of that date, and will decrease the net profits or increase the net losses of the Fund. The Incentive Fee is calculated and payable monthly in arrears in an amount equal to 15.0% of the Fund’s realized “pre-incentive fee net investment income” for the immediately preceding month (the “Incentive Fee”). “Pre-incentive fee net investment income” is defined as interest income, dividend income and any other income accrued during the calendar month, minus the Fund’s operating expenses for the month (including the Management Fee, expenses payable to the Administrator, any interest expense and dividends paid on any issued and outstanding preferred shares but excluding the Incentive Fee, and any shareholder servicing and/or distribution fee). Payment of the Incentive Fee shall be subject to a hurdle rate, expressed as a rate of return on the Fund’s pre-incentive fee net investment income equal to 0.42% per month (or an annualized hurdle rate of 5%) (the “Hurdle Rate”), subject to a “catch up” feature, which allows the Investment Adviser to recover Incentive Fees that were previously limited by the Hurdle Rate.
[2] This table summarizes the expenses of the Fund and is designed to help investors understand the costs and expenses they will bear, directly or indirectly, by investing in the Fund. For purposes of determining net assets in fee table calculations, derivatives are valued at fair value.
[3] “Fees and Interest Payments on Borrowed Funds” are estimated based on borrowings in the amount of 20% of the Fund’s average total assets of $75,000,000 and an annual interest rate of 5.37% payable on such borrowings. See “INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES AND STRATEGIES – Use of Leverage --Effects of Leverage.”
[4] Investors may pay a Shareholder Servicing Fee of up to 0.25% on an annualized basis of the average net assets of the Fund. All or a portion of such Shareholder Servicing Fee may be used to compensate financial industry professionals for providing ongoing shareholder services. See “SHAREHOLDER SERVICE PLAN.” Estimated Shareholder Servicing Fee expenses for the current fiscal year are 0.00%.
[5] The Fund anticipates that it may have interest income that could result in the payment of an Incentive Fee to the Investment Adviser during certain periods. However, the Incentive Fee is based on the Fund’s performance and will not be paid unless the Fund achieves certain performance targets. The Fund expects the Incentive Fee to increase to the extent the Fund earns greater interest income through its investments. See “MANAGEMENT OF THE FUND — Incentive Fee” for a full explanation of how the Incentive Fee is calculated.
[6] In addition to the Fund’s direct expenses, the Fund indirectly bears a pro-rata share of the expenses of the underlying investment funds in which it invests. Private investment funds generally charge, in addition to management fees calculated as a percentage of the average NAV of the Fund’s investment, performance-based fees generally from 0% to 12.5% of the net capital appreciation in the private investment fund’s investment for the year or other measurement period, subject to loss carryforward provisions, as set forth in the respective private investment funds’ offering documents. Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses reflect the estimated fees that the Fund is expected to bear during the current fiscal year. In the future, these fees and expenses may be substantially higher or lower than reflected, because certain fees are based on the performance of the investment funds, which fluctuates over time. In addition, the Fund’s portfolio changes from time to time, which will result in different Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses. The “Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses” disclosed above, however, do not reflect any performance-based fees or allocations that are calculated solely on the realization and/or distribution of gains, or on the sum of such gains and unrealized appreciation of assets distributed in-kind, as such fees and allocations for a particular period may be unrelated to the cost of investing in the private investment funds.
[7] “Other Expenses” are based on estimated amounts for the current fiscal year and assumes average assets under management of $75,000,000, and includes estimated expenses of the Cayman Subsidiary. See “MANAGEMENT OF THE SUBSIDIARIES.”
[8] Total Annual Expenses differ from the ratios of expenses to average net assets shown in the financial statements included in the Fund’s annual report, which do not reflect (i) the portion of Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses that represent costs incurred at the Investment Fund level, as required to be disclosed in the above table; and (ii) the current expenses of the Fund.
[9] The Investment Adviser has entered into an expense limitation and reimbursement agreement (the “Expense Limitation and Reimbursement Agreement”) with the Fund, whereby the Investment Adviser 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, brokerage commissions, dividend and interest expenses on short sales, Incentive Fees, acquired fund fees and expenses, expenses incurred in connection with any merger or reorganization and extraordinary expenses, such as litigation expenses) do not exceed 2.00% of the average daily net assets of the Fund (the “Expense Limit”). For a period not to exceed three years from the date on which a Waiver is made, the Investment Adviser may recoup amounts waived or assumed, provided the Fund is able to effect such repayment and remain in compliance with the Expense Limit in effect at the time of the Waiver and the Expense Limit in effect at the time of the repayment. The Expense Limitation and Reimbursement Agreement may not be terminated by the Fund or the Investment Adviser until April 25, 2026. Thereafter, the Expense Limitation and Reimbursement Agreement will automatically renew for consecutive one-year terms. The Investment Adviser may terminate the Expense Limitation and Reimbursement Agreement upon 30 days’ advanced written notice to the other party.
