THE ENDOWMENT REGISTERED FUND, L.P.

(A Limited Partnership)

Notes to Schedule of Investments

March 31, 2010

(Unaudited)

1. ORGANIZATION

The Endowment Registered Fund, L.P. (the “Registered Fund”), is a limited partnership organized under the laws of the state of Delaware. The Registered Fund was registered and began operations on March 10, 2004, (“Inception”) as a nondiversified, closed-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The Registered Fund was created to serve as a feeder fund for The Endowment Master Fund, L.P. (the “Master Fund”). For convenience, reference to the Registered Fund may include the Master Fund, as the context requires.

The Registered Fund’s investment objective is to preserve capital and to generate consistent long-term appreciation and returns across a market cycle (which is estimated to be five to seven years). The Registered Fund pursues its investment objective by investing substantially all of its assets in the Master Fund, which invests its assets in a variety of investment vehicles including but not limited to limited partnerships, limited liability companies, offshore corporations and other foreign investment vehicles (collectively, the “Investment Funds”), registered investment companies (including exchange traded funds) and direct investments in marketable securities and derivative instruments. The Master Fund’s footnotes and Schedule of Investments, included elsewhere in this report, are an integral part of the Registered Fund’s Schedule of Investments that should be read in conjunction with this report. The percentage of the Master Fund’s partnership interests owned by the Registered Fund on March 31, 2010, was 46.34%.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND PROCEDURES

(a) INVESTMENT SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS

The Registered Fund records monthly, its pro-rata share of income, expenses, changes in unrealized appreciation and depreciation, and realized gains and losses derived from the Master Fund.

(b) VALUATION OF INVESTMENTS

The Registered Fund invests substantially all of its assets in the Master Fund. Investments in the Master Fund are recorded at estimated fair value based on its proportional share of the Master Fund’s net assets. Valuation of the investments held by the Master Fund is discussed in the Master Fund’s Notes to Schedule of Investments, which are included herein.

(c) FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The Registered Fund defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions.

The inputs used to determine the fair value of the Registered Fund’s investments are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

 

•     Level 1 —

 

quoted prices in active markets for identical assets.

•     Level 2 —

 

other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices of similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).

•     Level 3 —

 

significant unobservable inputs (which may include the Registered Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).

The inputs or methodology used to value investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

The following is a summary categorization, as of March 31, 2010, of the Registered Fund’s investment based on the inputs utilized in determining the value of such investment:

 

     LEVEL 1    LEVEL 2    LEVEL 3
     Quoted Prices    Other Significant
Observable Inputs
   Significant
Unobservable Inputs

Investment

   $                     —      $                     —      $ 2,479,307,737
                    

The categorization of the Registered Fund’s investment in the Master Fund as a Level 3 investment does not reflect the fact that many of the underlying investments held by the Investment Funds in which the Master Fund invests, if owned directly by the Registered Fund, would be classified as Level 1 investments.

The following is a reconciliation of the Level 3 investment for which significant unobservable inputs were used to determine fair value:

Balance as of December 31, 2009

   $ 2,424,858,828

Balance as of March 31, 2010

   $ 2,479,307,737   
        

3. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

On January 21, 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements” (“ASU 2010-06”), which provides additional guidance on how investment assets and liabilities are to be valued and disclosed. Specifically, ASU 2010-06 requires reporting entities to disclose the input and valuation techniques used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements for Level 2 and Level 3 investments. ASU 2010-06 also requires that significant transfers between all levels (including Level 1 and Level 2) be disclosed on a gross basis (i.e., transfers out must be disclosed separately from transfers in), and the reasons for such transfers. Additionally purchases, sales, issuances and settlements shall be disclosed on a gross basis in the Level 3 rollforward. ASU 2010-06 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the requirement to provide the Level 3 roll forward activity for purchases, sales, issuances and settlements on a gross basis, which will be effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2010. There were no significant transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 during the period ended March 31, 2010.

THE ENDOWMENT MASTER FUND, L.P.

(A Limited Partnership)

Notes to Schedule of Investments

March 31, 2010

(Unaudited)

1. ORGANIZATION

The Endowment Master Fund, L.P. (the “Master Fund”) is a limited partnership organized under the laws of the state of Delaware. The Master Fund began operations in April 2003 (“Inception”). The Master Fund operated as an unregistered investment vehicle until March 10, 2004, at which time it registered as a non-diversified, closed-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The Master Fund is the master fund in a master-feeder structure in which there are currently eight feeder funds.

The Master Fund’s investment objective is to preserve capital and to generate consistent long-term appreciation and returns across a market cycle (which is estimated to be five to seven years). The Master Fund pursues its investment objective by investing its assets in a variety of investment vehicles including but not limited to limited partnerships, limited liability companies, offshore corporations and other foreign investment vehicles (collectively, the “Investment Funds”), registered investment companies (including exchange traded funds) and direct investments in marketable securities and derivative instruments. The Master Fund is primarily a “fund of funds” and is intended to afford investors the ability to invest in a multi-manager portfolio, exhibiting a variety of investment styles and philosophies, in an attempt to achieve positive risk-adjusted returns over an extended period of time. The Master Fund’s investments are managed by a select group of investment managers identified by Endowment Advisers, L.P. (the “Adviser”) to have investments that when grouped with other investments of the Master Fund result in a portfolio that is allocated more broadly across markets, asset classes, and risk profiles.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a) BASIS OF ACCOUNTING

The accounting and reporting policies of the Master Fund conform with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The preparation of the Schedule of Investments in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions relating to the reported amounts in the Schedule of Investments. Actual results could differ from those estimates and such differences may be significant.

(b) CASH EQUIVALENTS

The Master Fund considers all unpledged temporary cash investments with a maturity date at the time of purchase of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

(c) INVESTMENT SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS

The Master Fund records security transactions on a trade-date basis.

Investments that are held by the Master Fund, including those that have been sold but not yet purchased, are marked to estimated fair value at the reporting date.

(d) VALUATION OF INVESTMENTS

The valuation of the Master Fund’s investments will be determined as of the close of business at the end of any fiscal period, generally monthly. The valuation of the Master Fund’s investments is calculated by Citi Fund Services Ohio, Inc., the Master Fund’s independent administrator (the “Independent Administrator”).

THE ENDOWMENT MASTER FUND, L.P.

(A Limited Partnership)

Notes to Schedule of Investments, continued

March 31, 2010

(Unaudited)

 

The Master Fund’s board of directors (the “Board”) has formed a valuation committee (the “Board Valuation Committee”) that is responsible for overseeing the Master Fund’s valuation policies, making recommendations to the Board on valuation-related matters, and overseeing implementation by the Adviser Valuation Committee (as defined below) of the Master Fund’s valuation policies that the Board of the Master Fund has approved for purposes of determining the value of securities held by the Master Fund, including the fair value of the Master Fund’s investments in Investment Funds.

The Board has also authorized the establishment of a valuation committee of the Adviser (the “Adviser Valuation Committee”). The Adviser Valuation Committee’s function, subject to the oversight of the Board Valuation Committee and the Board, is generally to review the Investment Funds’ valuation methodologies, valuation determinations, and any information provided to the Adviser Valuation Committee by the Adviser or the Independent Administrator.

Investments held by the Master Fund are valued as follows:

 

   

INVESTMENT FUNDS—Investments in Investment Funds are ordinarily carried at estimated fair value based on the valuations provided to the Independent Administrator by the investment managers of such Investment Funds or the administrators of such Investment Funds. These Investment Funds value their underlying investments in accordance with policies established by such Investment Funds. Prior to investing in any Investment Fund, the Adviser Valuation Committee, as part of the due diligence process, conducts a review of the valuation methodologies employed by the Investment Fund to determine whether such methods are appropriate. The Master Fund’s valuations utilize the available financial information supplied by each Investment Fund and are net of management and estimated performance incentive fees or allocations payable to the Investment Funds’ managers pursuant to the Investment Funds’ agreements. Generally, Investment Funds in which the Master Fund invests will use market value when available, and otherwise will use principles of fair value applied in good faith. The Adviser Valuation Committee will consider whether it is appropriate, in light of the relevant circumstances, to value interests at net asset value as reported by an Investment Fund for valuation purposes, or whether to adjust such reported value to reflect estimated fair value. Because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation, this estimated fair value may significantly differ from the value that would have been used had readily available markets for the investments in Investment Funds existed. The Master Fund’s investments in Investment Funds are subject to the terms and conditions of the respective operating agreements and offering memoranda of such Investment Funds.

 

   

SECURITIES LISTED ON A SECURITIES EXCHANGE—Securities listed 1) on one or more of the national securities exchanges or the OTC Bulletin Board are valued at the last reported sales price on the date of determination; and 2) on the Nasdaq Stock Market are valued at the Nasdaq Official Closing Price (“NOCP”), at the close of trading on the primary exchanges or markets where such securities are traded for the business day as of which such value is being determined. If the last reported sales price or the NOCP is not available, the securities are valued at the mean between the “bid” and “ask” prices at the close of trading on that date. Securities traded on a foreign securities exchange will generally be valued at their closing prices on the exchange where such securities are primarily traded and translated into U.S. dollars at the current exchange rate. If an event occurs between the close of the foreign exchange and the valuation date of the Master Fund’s net asset value that would materially affect the value of the security and the net asset value of the Master Fund, the value of such security and the net asset value of the Master Fund will be adjusted to reflect the change in the estimated value of the security.

Notes to Schedule of Investments, continued

(Unaudited)

 

   

OPTIONS—Options that are listed on a securities exchange or traded over-the-counter are valued at the mean between the closing “bid” and “ask” prices for such options on the date of determination.

 

   

SECURITIES NOT ACTIVELY TRADED—The value of securities, derivatives or synthetic securities that are not actively traded on an exchange shall be determined by obtaining quotes from brokers that normally deal in such securities or by an unaffiliated pricing service that may use actual trade data or procedures using market indices, matrices, yield curves, specific trading characteristics of certain groups of securities, pricing models or a combination of these procedures.

 

   

OTHER—Where no value is readily available from an Investment Fund or other security or where a value supplied by an Investment Fund is deemed not to be indicative of the Investment Fund’s value, the Adviser Valuation Committee and/or the Board Valuation Committee, in consultation with the Independent Administrator or the Adviser will determine, in good faith, the estimated fair value of the Investment Fund or security.

 

   

FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS—The accounting records of the Master Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Investments of the Master Fund denominated in a foreign currency, if any, are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at current exchange rates on the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of investments denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at the exchange rate on the respective dates of such transactions.

(e) FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The Master Fund defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions.

The inputs used to determine the fair value of the Master Fund’s investments are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

 

•     Level 1 —

 

quoted prices in active markets for identical assets.

•     Level 2 —

 

other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices of similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).

•     Level 3 —

 

significant unobservable inputs (which may include the Master Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).

The inputs or methodology used to value investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

The following is a summary categorization, as of March 31, 2010, of the Master Fund’s investments based on the level of inputs utilized in determining the value of such investments:

THE ENDOWMENT MASTER FUND, L.P.

(A Limited Partnership)

Notes to Schedule of Investments, continued

March 31, 2010

(Unaudited)

 

The Master Fund is permitted to invest in alternative investments that do not have a readily determinable fair value, and as such, has elected to use the net asset value per share (the “NAV”) as calculated on the reporting entity’s measurement date as the fair value of the investment. The Master Fund measures the fair value of an investment that does not have a readily determinable fair value, based on the NAV of the investment as a practical expedient, without further adjustment, unless it is probable that the investment will be sold at a value significantly different than the NAV. If the practical expedient NAV is not as of the reporting entity’s measurement date, then the NAV is adjusted to reflect any significant events that would materially affect the value of the security and the NAV of the Master Fund as of the valuation date. In using the NAV as a practical expedient, certain attributes of the investment, that may impact the fair value of the investment, are not considered in measuring fair value. Attributes of those investments include the investment strategies of the investees and may also include, but are not limited to, restrictions on the investor’s ability to redeem its investments at the measurement date at NAV as well as any unfunded commitments. A listing of the investments held by the Master Fund and their attributes as of March 31, 2010, that may qualify for these valuations are shown in the table below.

The information summarized in the table above represents the general terms for a majority of the Investment Funds within the specified asset class. Individual Investment Funds may have terms that are more or less restrictive than those terms indicated for the asset class as a whole. In addition, most Investment Funds have the flexibility, as provided for in their constituent documents, to modify and waive such terms.

The Fund’s investments reflect their estimated fair value, which for marketable securities would generally be the last sales price on the primary exchange for such security and for Investment Funds, would generally be the net asset value as provided by the fund or its administrator. For each of the categories below, the fair value of the Investment Funds has been estimated using the net asset value of the Investment Funds.

 

(a)

This category includes Investment Funds that invest using primarily two styles (Event-Driven and Relative Value). Event-Driven strategies typically will include investments in common and preferred equities and various types of debt (often based on the probability that a particular event will occur). These may include distressed or special situations investments (securities of companies that are experiencing difficult business situations). Relative Value strategies may include long and short positions in common and preferred equity, convertible securities, and various forms of senior and junior (typically unsecured) debt. Investments under this style may also include index options, options on futures contracts, and other derivatives.

 

(b)

This category includes Investment Funds that invest primarily in publicly-traded equity securities issued by U.S. companies. These securities will typically trade on one of the major U.S. stock exchanges. Investment Funds in this category may include long/ short funds, mutual funds and exchange-traded funds.

 

(c)

This category includes Investment Funds that invest primarily in publicly-traded securities issued by companies in the energy sector, private investments in energy-related assets or companies, and futures in energy commodity markets. The Investment Funds include private funds which may hold long/ short equities, commodity trading advisors (“CTAs”) trading contracts on energy related commodities, mutual funds or exchange-traded funds, and private partnerships with private investments in their portfolios. The estimated remaining life of the investments in this asset class is greater than six years.

 

(d)

This category includes Investment Funds that invest primarily in the following sectors: secured leveraged loans, high yield bonds, distressed debt, structured credit, and global debt (typically less efficient areas of the global fixed income markets than traditional fixed income strategies). Generally these sectors may be heavily weighted to certain industries such as telecom and technology with lower credit rating ranges (including leveraged buyouts), may include distressed debt strategies and may include restricted securities and securities that may not be registered for which a market may not be readily available.

 

(e)

This category includes Investment Funds that invest primarily in publicly-traded equity securities issued by foreign companies or securities issued on U.S. stock exchanges that represent ownership of a foreign corporation. Investment Funds in this category may include long/ short funds, mutual funds, and exchange-traded funds.

 

(f)

This category includes Investment Funds that invest primarily in assets with exposure to non-energy natural resources, including gold and other precious metals, industrial metals, and agricultural commodities. The Investment Funds may include private funds invested in long/ short equities; CTA’s trading contracts on agricultural commodities, mutual funds and exchange-traded funds, and private partnerships with private investments in their portfolios. The estimated remaining life of the investments in this asset class is greater than six years.

 

(g)

This category includes Investment Funds that invest in global markets and across all security types including equities, fixed income, commodities, currencies, futures, and exchange-traded funds. Investment Funds in this category are typically private funds and may include global long/short equity funds, global macro funds, and CTA’s.

 

(h)

This category includes private equity funds that invest primarily in companies in need of capital. These Investment Funds may vary widely as to sector, size, stage, duration, and liquidity. Certain of these Investment Funds may also focus on the secondary market, buying interests in existing private equity funds, often at a discount. Less than a quarter of the investments in this asset class have an estimated remaining life of less than three years; the majority of the remaining investments in this asset class have an estimated remaining life of greater than six years.

 

(i)

This category includes Investment Funds that invest in registered investment companies or managers that invest in real estate trusts (commonly known as “REITs”) and private partnerships that make investments in income producing properties, raw land held for development or appreciation, and various types of mortgage loans and common or preferred stock whose operations involve real estate. Less than a fifth of the investments in this asset class have an estimated remaining life of between three and six years; the remaining investments in this asset class have an estimated remaining life of greater than six years.

(f) DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

The Master Fund may purchase or sell options as part of an asset overlay strategy to create investment exposure consistent with the Master Fund’s investment objectives. The Master Fund has been invested in call and put option contracts during the period to adjust its exposure to potential changes in interest rates and to better manage risk related to certain strategies in the Master Fund’s Portfolio. The Master Fund’s direct investments in derivatives during the quarter ended March 31, 2010, consisted of the expiration of purchased put options and the purchase and sale of call options. Investment Funds in which the Master Fund invests will purchase and sell derivative securities and other financial instruments.

The following is a summary of the fair value of derivative instruments held directly by the Master Fund as of March 31, 2010 and where such derivatives are recorded:

3. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK

In the normal course of business, the Investment Funds in which the Master Fund invests trade various derivative securities and other financial instruments, and enter into various investment activities with off-balance sheet risk both as an investor and as a principal. The Master Fund’s risk of loss in these Investment Funds is limited to the value of the investment in, or commitment to, such Investment Funds. In addition, the Master Fund may from time to time invest directly in derivative securities or other financial instruments to gain greater or lesser exposure to a particular asset class.

During the period ended March 31, 2010, the Master Fund had no direct short option activity.

4. INVESTMENTS IN PORTFOLIO SECURITIES

(a) INVESTMENT FUND LIQUIDITY

Certain Investment Funds in which the Master Fund invests have limitations on liquidity which may result in limitations on redemptions including, but not limited to, lock-ups, notice periods and early redemption fees. The Master Fund’s investments are categorized in three levels of liquidity, as determined by the Master Fund. The categories and percent of investments in each category were as follows at March 31, 2010:

 

Liquidity Categories

   Percentage of
Investments
   

Category Definition

Category 1 Funds

   69.04   Securities or Investment Funds that have at least quarterly withdrawal rights after a maximum two-year lock-up period.

Category 2 Funds

   10.00   Investment Funds that have at least annual withdrawal rights after a maximum three-year lock-up period.

Category 3 Funds

   20.96   Investment Funds that do not meet the definition of Category 1 or 2 Funds. This may include investments for which redemptions can only occur as the Investment Funds’ assets or investments are liquidated.
        
   100.00  
        

The expiration or implementation of lock-up periods on Master Fund investments in an Investment Fund could result in such investments moving from one liquidity category to another.

(b) AFFILIATED INVESTMENT FUNDS

At March 31, 2010, the Master Fund’s investments in certain Investment Funds were deemed to be investments in affiliated issuers under the 1940 Act, primarily because the Master Fund owns more than 5% of the Investment Funds’ total net assets. A listing of these affiliated Investment Funds (including 2010 activity) is shown below:

The cost of the Master Fund’s underlying investments for Federal income tax purposes is adjusted for items of taxable income allocated to the Master Fund from such investments. The allocated taxable income is generally reported to the Master Fund by the Investment Funds on Schedules K-1, Forms 1099 or PFIC statements.

The Investments Funds generally do not provide the Master Fund with final tax reporting information until well after year end and as a result, the Master Fund is unable to calculate the year end tax cost of its investments until well after year end. The Master Fund’s book cost as of March 31, 2010 was $4,965,462,869 resulting in accumulated net unrealized appreciation of $408,284,499 consisting of $758,157,788 in gross unrealized appreciation and $349,873,289 in gross unrealized depreciation.

During the period ended March 31, 2010, an investment was transferred-in-kind in connection with the sale of investments. The fair value of this investment transferred-in-kind and related cost are as follows:

5. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

On January 21, 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements” (“ASU 2010-06”), which provides additional guidance on how investment assets and liabilities are to be valued and disclosed. Specifically, ASU 2010-06 requires reporting entities to disclose the input and valuation techniques used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements for Level 2 and Level 3 investments. ASU 2010-06 also requires that significant transfers between all levels (including Level 1 and Level 2) be disclosed on a gross basis (i.e., transfers out must be disclosed separately from transfers in), and the reasons for such transfers. Additionally purchases, sales, issuances and settlements shall be disclosed on a gross basis in the Level 3 rollforward. ASU 2010-06 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the requirement to provide the Level 3 roll forward activity for purchases, sales, issuances and settlements on a gross basis, which will be effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2010. There were no significant transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 during the period ended March 31, 2010.

(b) There were no changes in the registrant’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 30a-3(d) under the 1940 Act (17 CFR 270.30a-3(d)) that occurred during the registrant’s first fiscal quarter of the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the registrant’s internal control over financial reporting.
