GCM Grosvenor Code of Ethics CONFIDENTIAL

 

1 Summary of Rationale

This Code of Ethics (Code) outlines the Firm’s duties of care and loyalty; the standards of conduct required of all Covered Persons; and the requirements applicable to outside business activities, conflicts of interest, and personal trading. Personal trading requirements include pre-clearance of accounts and transactions and periodic reporting.

The Code is part of GCM Grosvenor’s compliance policies and procedures, which are reasonably designed to address the requirements of the Federal Securities and Commodities Laws and potential conflicts of interest applicable to GCM Grosvenor and the personal activities of Covered Persons.

GCM Grosvenor Inc. maintains a separate “code of ethics,” within the meaning of Section 406 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the rules promulgated thereunder, that addresses additional requirements and expectations for directors, officers and employees of GCM Grosvenor Inc. and its subsidiaries.

If Covered Persons have questions concerning the meaning, scope, or applicability of the provisions of the Code, they should contact Compliance.

2 General Scope

	Legal Entities	All, except GCM Japan
	Functions and  Lines of Business	All
	Locations	All, except GCM Japan

● Updated permissible instruments in Appendix F

● Updated the definition of Designated ETF in Appendix G

● Made some stylistic changes

4 Policy Statements

● Duties of Care and Loyalty to GCM Grosvenor Funds. As a fiduciary to GCM Grosvenor Funds, GCM Grosvenor and Covered Persons adhere to duties of care and loyalty, which include implementing suitable investment programs and acting solely for the benefit of the GCM Grosvenor Funds in providing services to them.

● Responsibilities to GCM Grosvenor Administered Programs. GCM Grosvenor administers the affairs of the GCM Grosvenor Administered Programs in accordance with the terms of the applicable agreements and keeps them reasonably informed.

● Prohibited Activities. Covered Persons must abstain from prohibited activities, including breaching a duty of care and loyalty owed to any GCM Grosvenor Fund or Client, violating Federal Securities or Commodities Laws, and misusing material nonpublic information (MNPI).

● Disclosure and Consent to Conflicts of Interest. In many cases, GCM Grosvenor must obtain consent in order to engage in a practice in which the interests of GCM Grosvenor or any Covered Person conflict with a GCM Grosvenor Fund. Covered Persons must disclose any personal conflicts of interest to Compliance that may arise in connection with the performance of their employment responsibilities.

● Outside Business Activities. Covered Persons shall devote sufficient time and resources to the affairs of each Client in a competent and professional manner; therefore, Covered Persons must obtain prior approval to engage in certain activities outside of their employment with GCM Grosvenor.

● Personal Trading. Covered Persons must follow the pre-clearance and reporting requirements for personal investment accounts and transactions in Securities or Commodity Interests and abstain from prohibited transactions.

4

GCM Grosvenor Code of Ethics CONFIDENTIAL

 

● Insider Trading. GCM Grosvenor prohibits Covered Persons from engaging in insider trading. Covered Persons may not purchase or sell, or cause or recommend the purchase or sale, of a financial instrument while in possession of MNPI relating to that financial instrument.

● Escalating and Reporting Violations. Covered Persons must escalate any violations of the Code or any law, rule, or regulation to Compliance or the Global CCO.

5 Persons Subject to the Code and Applicability

The Code applies to Covered Persons.

The Code also applies to Covered Persons after their separation with GCM Grosvenor with respect to:

● transactions for which a Covered Person possesses MNPI obtained while associated with GCM Grosvenor

● transactions initiated, but not completed, prior to a Covered Person’s separation from GCM Grosvenor

6 Obligations Under the Code

Covered Persons must:

● act consistently with the duties of care and loyalty that GCM Grosvenor owes to Clients

● comply with applicable Federal Securities or Commodities laws

● understand and adhere to the Firm’s applicable policies and procedures

● submit periodic personal account reports to Compliance

● pre-clear with Compliance prior to engaging in certain types of activities and transactions

● not engage in prohibited activities or prohibited transactions described in the Code

7 Duties of Care and Loyalty

As a fiduciary to GCM Grosvenor Funds, GCM Grosvenor and Covered Persons adhere to duties of care and loyalty that are more stringent than the standards required for common business practices. Under these duties, GCM Grosvenor:

● implements suitable investment programs, consistent with applicable agreements, offering documents, and applicable policies and procedures

● keeps GCM Grosvenor Funds reasonably informed with respect to material matters relating to GCM Grosvenor’s management of GCM Grosvenor Funds

● keeps Clients reasonably informed with respect to material matters relating to GCM Grosvenor’s management of the respective GCM Grosvenor Funds in which they are invested to the extent permitted by law and other obligations such as confidentiality obligations

● acts solely for the benefit of the GCM Grosvenor Funds in matters connected with GCM Grosvenor’s services to the GCM Grosvenor Funds and places the interests of the GCM Grosvenor Funds first and foremost in each and every situation, unless GCM Grosvenor has expressly reserved the right to act in its own interests and the interests of the GCM Grosvenor Funds and has received investor consent to do so

● discloses to prospective or existing Clients in a particular GCM Grosvenor Fund, if appropriate disclosure was not made prior to or when they invested, material conflicts of interest to which GCM Grosvenor or its related persons are subject in connection with performing services for the fund

GCM Grosvenor designed its reporting policies to keep Clients reasonably informed of material matters. Covered Persons should contact their supervisor or Compliance if they believe information provided through GCM Grosvenor’s usual reporting processes contains an error, material misstatement of fact, or will not be timely or sufficient to make a material fact known.

GCM Grosvenor Code of Ethics CONFIDENTIAL

8 Responsibilities to GCM Grosvenor Administered Programs

With respect to GCM Grosvenor Administered Programs, GCM Grosvenor:

● administers the affairs of the GCM Grosvenor Administered Programs in accordance with the terms of the applicable agreements

● keeps the GCM Grosvenor Administered Programs reasonably informed of material matters relating to its administration of the GCM Grosvenor Administered Programs

9 Prohibited Activities

Covered Persons may not:

● engage in a practice or employ any device, scheme, or artifice to defraud a GCM Grosvenor Fund, Client, or GCM Grosvenor Administered Program

● distribute written materials or make any oral statements that are false, deceptive, or misleading

● engage in an activity that causes a breach of duty of care and loyalty owed to any GCM Grosvenor Fund or Client

● engage in an activity which violates any securities or commodities laws, rules, or regulations

● misuse MNPI

Unless GCM Grosvenor appropriately discloses and obtains Client consent, Covered Persons may not:

● seek to obtain a benefit for GCM Grosvenor or Covered Persons in a manner that harms or disadvantages any GCM Grosvenor Fund

● seek to obtain a benefit for GCM Grosvenor or a Covered Person in a situation in which the interests of GCM Grosvenor or the Covered Person’s interests conflict with the interests of any GCM Grosvenor Fund, even if such benefit to GCM Grosvenor or the Covered Person would not result in harm or disadvantage to the GCM Grosvenor Fund

● favor one or more GCM Grosvenor Funds over one or more other GCM Grosvenor Funds

Even though GCM Grosvenor has disclosed and obtained investor consent for certain practices, GCM Grosvenor and Covered Persons must treat each GCM Grosvenor Fund fairly in connection with such practices, although not necessarily equally or the same.

Covered Persons may not do indirectly that which they are not allowed to do directly. If the Firm or Covered Person is prohibited from engaging in certain conduct, Covered Persons generally may not attempt to engage in such conduct by structuring a transaction in a manner that, on its face, appears to comply with applicable law and regulations but achieves the same result as the prohibited conduct.

10 Disclosure and Consent to Conflicts of Interest

In many cases, GCM Grosvenor must obtain consent from Clients in a particular GCM Grosvenor Fund or the governing board of a 40 Act Fund in order to engage in a practice in which the interests of GCM Grosvenor or any Covered Person conflict with a GCM Grosvenor Fund. GCM Grosvenor has established processes to disclose and obtain consent with respect to certain conflicts of interest.

● Each GCM Grosvenor Fund’s offering or risk disclosure document sets forth various conflicts of interest to which GCM Grosvenor or other related persons may be subject in connection with managing the fund.

● GCM Grosvenor discloses conflicts of interests in Part 2A of the Form ADVs. GCM Grosvenor provides the respective Form ADV Part 2A to Clients other than investors in 40 Act Funds and requires them to acknowledge receipt.

● Each prospective Client in a GCM Grosvenor Fund that is not a 40 Act Fund, by completion of the subscription agreement, agrees that GCM Grosvenor and its related persons may engage in certain practices that may give rise to certain conflicts.

6

GCM Grosvenor Code of Ethics CONFIDENTIAL

GCM Grosvenor may consider engaging in practices involving conflicts of interest in situations where it has not made disclosure or reserved the right to do so. Covered Persons must consult with the Global CCO or GC prior to engaging in such practices. The fact that a particular practice or transaction is in the best interests of the relevant Client will not ordinarily be sufficient to permit such practice or transaction.

Covered Persons should notify Compliance if they become aware of any practice that could possibly involve the Firm in a conflict of interest with GCM Grosvenor Funds or Clients or other parties to whom the Firm provides services and the Covered Person is not sure how the conflict has been addressed.

10.1 Personal Conflicts of Interest

Covered Persons must disclose to ComplCoverediance any personal conflicts of interest that may arise in connection with the performance of their employment responsibilities.

Officers, directors, and employees of GCM Grosvenor Inc. and its subsidiaries should refer to the GCM Grosvenor Inc. Code of Business Conduct and Ethics regarding the policies and procedures for the disclosure of any situation that reasonably would be expected to give rise to a conflict of interest with GCM Grosvenor Inc. and its subsidiaries.

11 Outside Business Activity

To ensure that the Firm and Covered Persons devote sufficient time and resources to the affairs of each Client in a competent and professional manner, Covered Persons must obtain approval for any business activities outside of their employment. Covered Persons must pre-clear and obtain approval from Compliance, a member of the Office of the Chairman (OOC), and the GSLLC CCO, if applicable, prior to engaging in any outside business activity.

Outside business activities include:

● serving on a compensated or non-compensated basis for any:

§ foreign or domestic governmental or regulatory entity as an officer, director, full time or part time employee, independent contractor, advisor or member of an advisory board or committee or in a similar capacity

§ for-profit or not-for-profit entity in any capacity, except if the entity is an affiliate of GCM Grosvenor

● any activity that generates or seeks to generate income, including use of social media for generating advertising or subscription revenue

Covered Persons do not need to pre-clear volunteer work for non-profit entities on an ad hoc basis that does not involve investment activities.

In providing approval, GCM Grosvenor will consider:

● the degree to which the activity may interfere with the Covered Person’s duties with GCM Grosvenor and GCM Grosvenor Funds

● whether the activity involves any conflict between the Covered Person or GCM Grosvenor and a GCM Grosvenor Fund that must be disclosed and consented to by the GCM Grosvenor Fund or Clients

● whether the activity involves any conflict between the interests of GCM Grosvenor and the Covered Person

See Appendix A for a list of Code-related compliance forms.

11.1 Public Appearances and the Media

Employees must pre-clear and receive approval prior to making any contact with the media or making a public appearance or engaging in writing activities that in any way relate to GCM Grosvenor, the business in which GCM Grosvenor is engaged or may be engaged, the financial services and asset management industries generally, or any matter concerning an existing or prospective GCM Grosvenor client or the known businesses such existing or prospective clients engage or may engage in. Employees must obtain prior approval to identify the Firm or their role or responsibilities or any other information about the Firm, GCM Grosvenor Funds, and investors in connection with an outside business activity. See Communications with the Media Public Appearances and Writing Activities Policy.

7

GCM Grosvenor Code of Ethics CONFIDENTIAL

Unless otherwise approved by the Firm, if the Firm authorizes a Covered Person to engage in an outside business activity, the Covered Person must be clear in their communications to third parties to avoid any appearance that the Firm is connected with or endorses the activities.

12 Personal Trading and Reporting

Covered Persons must submit reports about their holdings, transactions, and accounts in Securities or Commodity Interests in which they have a Beneficial Interest. Compliance reviews these reports on a periodic basis to verify compliance with the Code. Covered Persons must obtain approval from Compliance prior to opening any new investment accounts in which they will have a beneficial interest and must pre-clear certain transactions. Appendix B summarizes the reporting and pre- clearance requirements under the Code. A Covered Person must submit the required quarterly and annual reporting under the Code through the Firm’s personal trading system, with some exceptions.

Compliance may require Covered Persons to provide documentation of accounts, holdings, and transactions other than those not specifically required by or subject to exceptions under the Code, at its discretion.

12.1 Beneficial Interest

Covered Persons have a Beneficial Interest in an account that holds Securities or Commodity Interests or in a particular Security or Commodity Interest if the Covered Person, directly or indirectly, through any contract, arrangement, understanding, relationship, or otherwise, can, directly or indirectly, profit or share in any profit derived from such account or from a transaction in such particular Security or Commodity Interest.

Beneficial Interest is broadly construed and includes holdings, transactions, and accounts of a Covered Person’s Immediate Family that live in the same household. See examples of when a Covered Person may have or be presumed to have Beneficial Interest in an account, Security, or Commodity Interest in Appendix C.

12.2 Initial Report – Holdings and Accounts

Covered Persons must submit an Initial Report of Securities or Commodity Interest Holdings no later than 10 calendar days after becoming a Covered Person. The Initial Report includes information about the Covered Person’s Reportable Accounts and the Securities or Commodity Interests that the accounts hold. A Covered Person must report information as of the month end of the preceding month they become a Covered Person. For example, a Covered Person as of July 11 must report holdings as of June 30.

If a Covered Person has Reportable Accounts for which the Firm must receive duplicate statements and confirmations, Compliance will send an executed letter of direction to each broker, dealer, bank, or other institution requesting duplicate account statements and confirmations.

12.3 Quarterly Report – Transactions and Brokerage Accounts

Covered Persons must report all transactions in Securities and Commodity Interests no later than 30 calendar days after each calendar quarter. Transactions include purchases, sales, and other means of acquiring or disposing of Securities and Commodity Interests, such as by way of a gift.

In addition, a Covered Person must confirm the list of Reportable Accounts in which the Covered Person has a Beneficial Interest on a quarterly basis. Covered Persons must pre-clear any new Reportable Accounts prior to account opening by submitting a form to Compliance. See Appendix A for a list of Code related compliance forms.

12.4 Annual Report – Holdings and Accounts

Covered Persons must report and confirm their Reportable Accounts and holdings of Securities and Commodity Interests in those accounts no later than February 14 of each year.

The annual report of holdings of Securities and Commodity Interests must be as of December 31 of the calendar year preceding the date on which the Covered Person files the annual report. It may not be as of an earlier date.

13 Exceptions to Reporting or Pre-Clearance Requirements

In certain circumstances, the Global CCO or designee may waive certain reporting and pre-clearance requirements under the Code. A Covered Person must submit a request for a waiver to Compliance. Compliance grants waivers on a case-by-case basis. Professional Discretionary Accounts, Robo-advisor Accounts, and Trading Professional Accounts with waivers from Compliance are Waived Accounts.

13.1 Professional Discretionary Accounts

Independent Investment Managers manage Professional Discretionary Accounts. The Independent Investment Manager is granted bona fide legal investment discretion to make and dispose of investments in the account without consulting the Covered Person, or with any other person that has a Beneficial Interest in the account, prior to making or disposing of investments.

A Covered Person may seek a waiver for a Professional Discretionary Account so that the Covered Person does not have to pre-clear transactions in or file quarterly transaction or annual holdings reports for the Professional Discretionary Account. The Covered Person, any joint account holder, and the Independent Investment Manager must execute the waiver which provides certain written representations and warranties.

A Covered Person must report and confirm the existence of Professional Discretionary Accounts on a quarterly and annual basis. Compliance seeks duplicate account statements and confirmations for Professional Discretionary Accounts.

13.2 Robo-advisor Accounts

Robo-advisors are brokerage account platforms that provide automated, algorithm-driven financial planning services. Typically, the adviser collects information from clients about their financial situation and future goals through an online survey, then the adviser uses the data to offer advice or automatically invest client assets.

A Covered Person may seek a waiver for a Robo-advisor Account so that the Covered Person is not required to seek pre-clearance for transactions. The Covered Person and any joint account holder must execute the waiver. Covered Persons will be required to provide information sufficient to evidence that they do not have discretion over the securities transactions in the account. Accounts held at firms that solely provide Robo-advisor Account services do not require a waiver on file. See Appendix D for examples of firms that do not require a waiver.

Covered Persons must file quarterly and annual reports describing transactions in, and the holdings of, the Robo-advisor Account. Compliance seeks duplicate account statements and confirmations for Robo-advisor Accounts.

13.3 Trading Professional Accounts

If a Covered Person shares a household with a Trading Professional, then the Trading Professional Accounts may be exempt from the pre-clearance and reporting requirements of the Code. The Covered Person and Trading Professional must provide written representations and warranties that state they will not directly or indirectly discuss any potential transactions of any Security or Commodity Interest in the Trading Professional Accounts. Covered Persons may not discuss any GCM Grosvenor actual or potential trading activity with Trading Professionals with which they share a household.

13.4 Mutual Funds

A Covered Person does not have to report initial or annual holdings or quarterly transactions in Mutual Funds. A Covered Person must, however, pre-clear prior to account opening and report the existence of accounts that hold Mutual Funds (e.g., 529 plans, 401K, etc.). Compliance does not need to provide a waiver for investments in Mutual Funds.

14 Permitted Transactions, Pre-Clearance and Holding Periods

14.1 Permitted Transactions

Appendix E identifies the types of Securities and Commodities Interests that Covered Persons may transact in including those only permissible in Waived Accounts.

Covered Persons may only transact in ETFs and certain other financial instruments in accounts that provide GCM Grosvenor with electronic feeds of the transaction and holdings information as identified in Appendix E.

Employees should not let personal trading interfere with their work responsibilities.

14.2 Pre-Clearance

Covered Persons must obtain pre-clearance from Compliance prior to transacting in certain Securities and other financial instruments as identified in Appendix E.

● Compliance approvals for transactions in financial instruments, other than Private Offerings, are valid from the time approval is granted until 4:00 p.m. ET of the fifth business day following the date of approval.

● Compliance approvals for Private Offerings are valid for 30 calendar days.

● If Compliance approves a Covered Person’s pre-clearance request, but the transaction is not executed within the time period specified in the approval, the Covered Person must re-submit a pre-clearance request for the transaction if the Covered Person wishes to proceed with the transaction.

See Appendix A for a list of Code related compliance forms.

Covered Persons should also pre-clear with Compliance prior to selling or disposing of Securities and other financial instruments not listed on or restricted by Appendix E that they have held since prior to becoming Covered Persons.

● Officers, directors, and employees of GCM Grosvenor Inc. and its subsidiaries should refer to the GCM Grosvenor Inc. Insider Trading Compliance Policy for the pre-clearance policies and procedures related to trading in securities of GCM Grosvenor Inc.

14.3 Holding Periods

Covered Persons must hold certain Securities and other financial instruments for at least 60 days prior to disposing of their position as indicated in Appendix E. Transactions in Waived Accounts are not subject to the 60-day holding requirement.

Even when holding periods do not apply—Covered Persons should avoid excessive personal trading activity during the workday that could interfere with their work responsibilities and increase the risk of the appearance of or actual conflicts.

14.4 Firm-Sponsored Private Offerings – Knowledgeable Employees

Covered Persons may invest in Firm sponsored Private Offerings if they are Accredited Investors and the Firm identifies them as Knowledgeable Employees or if they are otherwise eligible to invest in the particular private offering (e.g., if they are a Qualified Purchaser). Senior management designates employees as Knowledgeable Employees.

Covered Persons may invest in or redeem out of other GCMLP Private Offerings in accordance with the investment or redemption requirements that apply to investors in GCMLP Private Offerings.

GCM Grosvenor pre-clears Firm sponsored Private Offerings through the subscription process

14.5 Confidentiality of Disapprovals

If the Firm denies a trade pre-clearance request, a Covered Person may not communicate the reason for the denial to any other person without receiving approval from the Global CCO.

10

GCM Grosvenor Code of Ethics CONFIDENTIAL

15 Prohibited Transactions

Prohibited transactions include, but are not limited to:

● the purchase of a Security or Commodity Interest that results in a Covered Person obtaining a Beneficial Interest (e.g., a purchase of individual stock), unless the purchase is in a Waived Account or is indicated as permitted in Appendix E.

● any transaction in cryptocurrencies, initial coin and token offerings, coins and tokens based on cryptocurrencies and any derivatives thereon, except as otherwise permitted in this Code

● any purchase of an Initial Public Offering of a Security, unless the purchase is in a Waived Account

● any transaction in a Security or Commodity Interest that must be pre-cleared, but was not pre-cleared

● any transaction in a Private Offering that the Firm allocates GCM Grosvenor Funds to invest in, excluding other GCM Grosvenor Funds

● any transaction that violates Federal Securities or Commodities Laws, state securities laws, or any rule or regulation, including any transaction in any Security or Commodity Interest—regardless of whether or not the transaction requires pre-clearance or reporting—in violation of the prohibition against trading while in possession of MNPI relating to a Security or Commodity Interest

● engaging in transactions in Securities or Commodity Interests during the Firm’s business hours in such a way that it materially interferes with a Covered Person’s performance and obligations to GCM Grosvenor

● trading in and out of a particular Security or Commodity Interest that is subject to a 60-day holding period prior to the end of the 60-day period (See Appendix E)

● other transactions in Securities or Commodity Interests that Compliance may designate as Prohibited Transactions

16 Cryptocurrencies, Tokens, Coins and Derivatives Thereon

Transactions in cryptocurrencies, initial coin and token offerings, coins and tokens based on cryptocurrencies, and any derivatives thereon are an emerging area in finance. The Firm will allow certain investments and transactions, as set forth in Appendix F or as discussed and permitted by Compliance on a case-by-case basis. Generally, any such approved investments and transactions may be subject to the pre-clearance, reporting, and certification requirements of the Code. These requirements are highlighted in Appendix F.

Participation in mining or other similar production of cryptocurrency may be considered an outside business activity. Covered persons should pre-clear such activity consistent with the pre-clearance requirements for outside business activities described in Section 11. An investment in an instrument that holds cryptocurrency, such as an ETF or a security acquired in a Private Offering, is subject to the restrictions on the respective investment described in this Code.

17 Insider Trading

GCM Grosvenor prohibits Covered Persons from engaging in insider trading. Insider trading is trading a Security or Commodity Interest while in possession of MNPI relating to the Security or Commodity Interest, or the issuer, or improperly communicating the MNPI to others. Insider trading may expose persons involved to civil or criminal liabilities.

Covered Persons may not purchase or sell, or cause or recommend the purchase or sale of, a Security, Commodity Interest or other financial instrument — regardless of whether or not it is necessary to pre-clear or report the transaction — either for the Covered Person’s account, for a fund or an account managed or advised by GCM Grosvenor, or for the account of any other person, while in possession of MNPI relating to that Security, Commodity Interest, or other financial instrument or the issuer. Prohibition on insider trading applies to trading and information handling by Covered Persons, including Immediate Family in the same household.

GCM Grosvenor views insider trading violations seriously. Any violation may be grounds for disciplinary sanctions, up to and including dismissal, and, where appropriate, referral to relevant government authorities and self-regulatory organizations. See Reporting Violations, Misconduct and Legal or Ethical Concerns.

Covered Persons must manage confidential information in accordance with GCM Grosvenor’s policies. See MNPI Protocols and Information Barriers Policy for guidance on what constitutes MNPI; how to notify Compliance of the potential receipt of MNPI; and handling MNPI. Covered Persons should direct any questions to the Global CCO or Compliance.

11

GCM Grosvenor Code of Ethics CONFIDENTIAL

  

This Code does not apply to MNPI related to the securities of GCM Grosvenor Inc. To the extent any officer, director, or employee of GCM Grosvenor Inc. or its subsidiaries has received MNPI related to GCM Grosvenor Inc.’s securities, refer to the GCM Grosvenor Inc. Insider Trading Compliance Policy, which contains policies and procedures related to trading in securities of GCM Grosvenor Inc.

18 Certifying to the Code

Covered Persons must provide:

● an initial, and generally annually, certification acknowledging receipt of, understanding of, and compliance with this Code

● a certification acknowledging receipt and understanding of each amendment to this Code

19 Reports to Senior Management and Directors of 40 Act Funds

19.1 Reports of Significant Remedial Action

The Global CCO informs GCM Grosvenor’s senior management and the board of directors of each 40 Act Fund that is managed or advised by GCMLP, of a significant remedial action in response to a violation of this Code.

A significant remedial action means any action that has a significant financial effect on the violator, such as disgorgement of profits, imposition of a significant fine, demotion, suspension, termination, or referral to civil or governmental authorities for possible civil or criminal prosecution.

19.2 GCMLP Annual Reports

Annually, the Global CCO reports to GCM Grosvenor’s senior management and the governing body of each 40 Act Fund, on efforts to ensure compliance by Covered Persons with their fiduciary obligations to GCM Grosvenor’s Clients. The annual report, at a minimum:

● describes any significant issues arising under this Code since the last annual report, including, but not limited to, information about material violations of this Code, sanctions imposed in response to such violations, and whether Compliance issued any material waivers from this Code since the last annual report

● certifies that GCMLP adopted procedures reasonably necessary to prevent Covered Persons from violating this Code

20 Waivers and Interpretations

The Global CCO may:

● waive any or all of the requirements of this Code, either with respect to particular classes of transactions or with respect to particular cases, on a case-by-case basis as determined appropriate under the circumstances, provided that such waiver is consistent with applicable law

● issue general or specific interpretations of this as appropriate under the circumstances. The interpretations may relate to facts or circumstances not expressly addressed in this Code

● A waiver under this Code shall not constitute a waiver under the GCM Grosvenor Inc. Code of Business Conduct and Ethics.

21 Enforcement of the Code

Violations of the Code could expose the Firm to a variety of consequences that include serious penalties. The Firm may take disciplinary measures to address violations of the Firm’s compliance policies or procedures, including the Code, and any applicable law, rule, or regulation. See Reporting Violations, Misconduct and Legal or Ethical Concerns.

22 Escalating and Reporting Violations

Employees must report to the Global CCO or Compliance any activity that they know or have reason to believe has violated any applicable law, rule, or regulation, or violated any of the Firm’s compliance policies and procedures. This includes their own activities or activities of others. See Reporting Violations, Misconduct and Legal or Ethical Concerns.

	The term “Security” includes a right to acquire or dispose of a security (such as a call or put option on a security), as well as an interest in a collective investment vehicle — such as a limited partnership or limited liability company. For example, a limited partnership interest or other equity interest in an investment fund such as a hedge fund, venture capital fund, or private equity fund is a Security.

Appendix C – Examples of Beneficial Interest

The term Beneficial Interest is construed very broadly. The following examples illustrate this principle:

● if Covered Persons do not directly participate in a particular account, Covered Persons will be presumed to have a Beneficial Interest in such account if any member of their Immediate Family who shares the same household with Covered Persons has a Beneficial Interest in such account

● if Covered Persons do not directly share in any economic benefit relating to particular Securities or Commodity Interests, Covered Persons will be presumed to have a Beneficial Interest in such Securities or Commodity Interests if any member of their Immediate Family who shares the same household with them has a Beneficial Interest in such Securities or Commodity Interests

● if a Covered Person or any member of a Covered Persons’ Immediate Family who shares the same household with the Covered Person is a general partner of a general or limited partnership, the Covered Person will be considered to have a Beneficial Interest in all Securities or Commodity Interests held by such partnership

● if a Covered Person or any member of a Covered Persons’ Immediate Family who shares the same household with the Covered Person is a shareholder of a corporation or similar entity, the Covered Person is considered to have a Beneficial Interest in all Securities or Commodity Interests held by such corporation or entity if they are a controlling shareholder of such corporation or entity or if they have or share investment control over such corporation’s or entity’s investment portfolio

● if a Covered Person or any member of a Covered Persons’ Immediate Family who shares the same household with the Covered Person has the right to acquire equity Securities through the exercise or conversion of a Commodity Interest, the Covered Person is deemed to have a Beneficial Interest in such Securities, whether or not such right is presently exercisable

● if a Covered Person or any member of a Covered Persons’ Immediate Family who shares the same household with the Covered Person is a trustee or beneficiary of a trust, or a settlor of a trust who has the power to revoke such trust without the consent of any other person, the Covered Person is considered to have a Beneficial Interest in all Securities or Commodity Interests held by such trust

● if a Covered Person receives any form of performance or incentive compensation in connection with providing investment management or investment advisory services to an account, the Covered Person is presumed to have a Beneficial Interest in all Securities or Commodity Interests held by such account

The Global CCO may conclude that the Covered Person does not have Beneficial Interest in the examples provided.
