ACAP STRATEGIC FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—MARCH 31, 2022 (Unaudited)

1. Organization

ACAP Strategic Fund (the “Fund”) was organized as a Delaware statutory trust in June 2009. The Fund commenced operations on March 1, 2010. The Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) as a closed-end management investment company and operates as a diversified company. The Fund operates as an interval fund under Rule 23c-3 of the 1940 Act and, as such, offers to repurchase between 5% – 25% of its outstanding shares at their net asset value as of or prior to the end of each fiscal quarter. SilverBay Capital Management LLC serves as the investment adviser of the Fund (the “Adviser”). The Adviser is controlled by its sole member, Alkeon Capital Management, LLC (“Alkeon”). Each of the Adviser and Alkeon are registered with the SEC as an investment adviser.

The Fund’s investment objective is to achieve maximum capital appreciation. The Fund pursues this objective by investing its assets primarily in publicly-traded equity securities of U.S. and foreign companies that the Adviser believes are well positioned to benefit from demand for their products or services, including companies that can innovate or grow rapidly relative to their peers in their markets. The Fund also pursues its objective by effecting short sales of securities when the Adviser believes that the market price of a security is above its estimated intrinsic or fundamental value. The Fund may also borrow money for investment purposes (leverage). The use of short sales and leverage are speculative investment practices and involve a high degree of risk.

The Fund is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest (“Shares”), $0.001 par value. The minimum initial investment in the Fund by an investor is $50,000. Minimum subsequent investments must be at least $5,000 (including a sales load, if applicable). Investors may be charged a sales load up to a maximum of 3% on the amount they invest in Class A Shares. The specific amount of the sales load is not fixed and will be determined by the investor and its broker, dealer or other financial intermediary. Shares may only be purchased through, and with funds drawn on, an investor’s brokerage account with brokers or dealers retained by Breakwater Group Distribution Services, LLC (the “Underwriter”) to act as selling agents to assist in the distribution of Shares (“Selling Agents”). Class A Shares are subject to distribution and shareholder servicing fees and Selling Agents who do not charge a front end load may charge their clients transaction fees or other transaction charges in such amounts as they may determine (which may be higher or lower, in the aggregate, than a front end load). Unlike Class A Shares, Class W Shares are not subject to any sales load or distribution and shareholder servicing fees. Class W Shares may be purchased through, and with funds drawn on, an investor’s “wrap-fee” account with a registered broker dealer or registered investment adviser retained by the Underwriter or the Adviser, as applicable, and whose financial advisor recommends their investment in the Fund. Shares of the Fund may be purchased only by investors who certify to the Fund or its agents that they have a net worth of more than $2,200,000 (excluding the value of the primary residence of such person and any debt secured by such property up to its current market value) or otherwise satisfy the definition of a “qualified client” under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940. Under certain circumstances (including where a Class A shareholder may be eligible to invest in Class W Shares), and only as authorized by the Underwriter or the Fund, Class A Shares may be exchanged for Class W Shares. Any such exchange would generally not be a taxable event for U.S. federal income tax purposes. If shares are exchanged, such transactions shall not be considered a repurchase from the Fund triggering a Fiscal Period (as defined below) end for purpose of calculation of the Incentive Fee (as defined below). As an interval fund, the Fund has adopted a fundamental policy to offer to repurchase at least 5% of its outstanding Shares at their net asset value at regular intervals. Currently, the Fund intends to offer to repurchase 25% of its outstanding Shares as of or prior to the end of each fiscal quarter. However, repurchase offers in excess of 5% of the Fund’s outstanding Shares for any particular fiscal quarter are entirely within the discretion of the Board of Trustees of the Fund (the “Board”) and, as a result, there can be no assurance that the Fund will make repurchase offers for amounts in excess of 5% of the outstanding Shares for any particular fiscal quarter.

Shares of the Fund are offered for purchase on a monthly basis in a continuous offering at their net asset value per share. Shares will be issued at the net asset value per share next computed after acceptance of an order to purchase shares. Purchase orders for shares sold in connection with a monthly offering must be received prior to the close of business on the day of the month specified by the Underwriter (typically the last business day of the month).

33


ACAP STRATEGIC FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—MARCH 31, 2022 (Unaudited) (continued)

1. Organization (continued)

Purchase orders received in proper form will be accepted by the Fund and deposited monies will be invested in the Fund (net of the sales load, if applicable) as of the first business day of the next month following submission of an investor’s purchase order. The Fund reserves the right to suspend or terminate the offering of shares at any time.

The Board has overall responsibility for the management and supervision of the operations of the Fund. The Board has delegated responsibility for management of the Fund’s day-to-day operations to the Adviser. The Board exercises the same powers, authority and responsibilities on behalf of the Fund as are customarily exercised by the board of directors of a registered investment company organized as a corporation. The persons comprising the Board (the “Trustees”) are not required to invest in the Fund or to own Shares. A majority of the Trustees are persons who are not “interested persons” (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the Fund (the “Independent Trustees”). The Independent Trustees perform the same functions for the Fund as are customarily exercised by the non-interested directors of a registered investment company organized as a corporation.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (hereafter referred to as “Authoritative Guidance”) requires the Adviser to make estimates and assumptions in determining the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Adviser believes that the estimates utilized in preparing the Fund’s financial statements are reasonable and prudent; however, actual results could differ from these estimates.

Net increase in net assets resulting from operations, as presented in the Statement of Operations, with the exception of the distribution and shareholder servicing fee, is allocated pro rata between Class A and Class W Shares based on the net asset value of each share class as compared to the Fund’s net asset value overall on a monthly basis. The distribution and shareholder servicing fee is allocated only to Class A Shares.

The Fund qualifies as an investment company, as defined in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946 Financial Services—Investment Companies and, therefore, is applying the specialized accounting and reporting guidance therein.

The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies of the Fund:

a. Revenue Recognition

Securities transactions, including related revenue and expenses, are recorded on a trade date basis. The Fund employs the specific identification method of inventory accounting. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date, net of foreign withholding tax, except certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Interest income and expense are recorded on the accrual basis. Dividends on securities sold, not yet purchased are an expense to the Fund. Such amounts are recorded on the ex-dividend date as Dividends on securities sold, not yet purchased on the Statement of Operations. The Fund amortizes premium and accretes discount on bonds using the effective yield method.

b. Portfolio Valuation

The value of the net assets of the Fund is determined on each business day as of the close of regular business of the New York Stock Exchange in accordance with the procedures set forth below or as may be determined from time to time pursuant to policies established by the Board.

34


ACAP STRATEGIC FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—MARCH 31, 2022 (Unaudited) (continued)

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

b. Portfolio Valuation (continued)

Domestic and foreign exchange-traded equity securities (including listed warrants) traded upon or dealt in one or more domestic or foreign securities exchanges are valued at their official closing price as reported on their primary exchange.

Domestic non-exchange traded equity securities are valued at their last reported price.

Total return swaps on equity securities are generally valued based upon the price for the reference asset, as determined in the manner specified above, as well as dividends on the reference equity security and accrued swap interest since the day of opening the position.

Fixed income, including convertible bonds, is generally valued using an evaluated bid price provided by an independent pricing agent. Evaluated bid prices provided by the pricing agent may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted bid prices and may reflect factors such as relative credit information, observed market movements, sector news, maturity, reported trade frequencies and other market data. Money market instruments with a remaining maturity of 60 days or less may be valued at amortized cost (purchase price or last valuation, as applicable, adjusted for accretion of discount or amortization of premium) unless the Adviser believes another valuation is more appropriate.

Options traded upon or dealt in one or more domestic or foreign securities exchanges are valued at their last reported bid price as reported on such exchange(s). Non-exchange traded options and currency options are valued using a combination of observable inputs and models.

Forward contracts are traded on the over-the-counter market. Forward contracts are valued using observable inputs, such as currency exchange rates or commodity prices, applied to notional amounts stated in the applicable contracts.

When market quotations are not readily available, if a market quotation is “stale”, or when the valuation methods mentioned above are not reflective of the fair value of an asset or a liability, fair value will be determined in good faith based on observable and unobservable inputs relevant to the valuation of the asset under the oversight of the Board (“Fair Value Determination”).

The Adviser monitors the continuing appropriateness of the valuation methodology being used for each security and other investment.

All assets and liabilities initially expressed in foreign currencies are converted into U.S. dollars using foreign exchange rates provided by a pricing service compiled as of 4:00 p.m. London time. Trading in foreign securities generally is completed, and the values of foreign securities are determined prior to the close of securities markets in the U.S. On occasion, the values of foreign securities and exchange rates may be materially affected by events occurring before the Fund calculates its net asset value but after the close of the primary markets or exchanges on which foreign securities are traded. These intervening events might be country-specific (e.g., natural disaster, economic or political developments, interest-rate change), issuer-specific (e.g., earnings report, merger announcement), or U.S. market specific (e.g., a significant movement in the U.S. markets that is deemed to affect the value of foreign securities). When such an event materially affects the values of securities held by the Fund or its liabilities (including foreign securities for which there is a readily available market price), such securities and liabilities may be subject to Fair Value Determination taking into account the aforementioned factors, in good faith pursuant to procedures adopted by the Board. For the six months ended March 31, 2022, no portfolio securities or liabilities were subject to Fair Value Determination.

The Fund follows ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC Topic 820”) for fair value measurement. ASC Topic 820 establishes a framework for measuring fair value and a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs

35


ACAP STRATEGIC FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—MARCH 31, 2022 (Unaudited) (continued)

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

b. Portfolio Valuation (continued)

by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. ASC Topic 820 establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value. Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below.

Level 1—observable market inputs that are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

Level 2—other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).

Level 3—significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).

Over-the-counter financial derivative instruments, such as forward contracts and total return swaps, derive their values from underlying asset prices, indices, reference rates, and other inputs or a combination of these factors. These derivative contracts that use valuation techniques and observable inputs as described above and in further detail below and have an appropriate level of market activity are categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in these securities.

Additional information on the investments can be found in the Schedule of Investments, the Schedule of Purchased Options, the Schedule of Securities Sold, Not Yet Purchased and the Schedule of Swap Contracts.

The following table summarizes the fair value of assets and liabilities by the ASC Topic 820 fair value hierarchy levels as of March 31, 2022.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—MARCH 31, 2022 (Unaudited) (continued)

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

c. Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Fund considers all financial instruments that mature within three months of the date of purchase as cash equivalents. At March 31, 2022 the Fund held $25,575,762 in cash equivalents in a BNY Mellon overnight interest-bearing account, $49,217 in U.S. Dollars and $55,053,197 in foreign currency cash balances. These amounts are presented in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as cash and cash equivalents. Money market accounts are not subject to federally insured bank deposit limits.

The Fund maintains cash in bank deposit accounts which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Fund has not experienced any losses in such accounts and does not believe it is exposed to any significant credit risk on such bank deposits.

As further discussed in Note 2.f., as of March 31, 2022 the Fund has additional cash and cash equivalents on deposit with brokers primarily to satisfy margin and short sale requirements.

d. Dividends and Distributions

Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gains distributions are determined in accordance with federal tax regulations and may differ from those determined in accordance with Authoritative Guidance. To the extent these differences are permanent, such amounts are reclassified within the capital account based on their federal tax basis treatment; temporary differences do not require such reclassification.

e. Income Taxes

Each year the Fund intends to operate in a manner to qualify as, and has elected to be treated as, a regulated investment company under subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”), as amended. Also, the Fund intends to distribute each year substantially all of its net investment company taxable income and net realized capital gains, if any, to shareholders and therefore not be required to pay federal income taxes. Accordingly, no provision for federal income or excise tax is required.

Foreign securities held by the Fund may be subject to foreign taxation on dividend income received.

f. Due to/from Brokers and Custodian

Due to/from brokers consists of U.S. dollar and foreign currency cash balances held at the Fund’s prime brokers (Morgan Stanley & Co., Inc. and Merrill Lynch Professional Clearing Corp.). The Fund is charged interest on cash it borrows at agreed upon rates with its prime brokers. The amount due from brokers primarily represents receivables for funds held by the broker which result from cash proceeds from the unwinding of swap positions and other trades. It is the Fund’s policy to monitor the credit standing of the broker and other financial institutions with which it conducts business. Due to custodian consists of debit cash balances generated through trading activities held at the Fund’s custodian, The Bank of New York Mellon (the “Custodian”). All amounts due to brokers and custodians will be paid within one year.

Due to brokers also includes the obligation to return cash collateral received from a counterparty due to the appreciation in the fair market value of the fund’s swap instruments, as further discussed in Note 2.g.

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

g. Cash Collateral Received for Total Return Swap Contracts and Variation Margin Receivable/Payable

Cash is paid/received periodically (subject to certain thresholds) to/from the counterparty due to the appreciation or depreciation in the fair market values of the Fund’s swap instruments. Settled payments are recorded as Cash Collateral Received for total return swap contracts in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Variation Margin Receivable/Payable represents the amount of such payments due from/to counterparty which have not been settled in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. As of March 31, 2022, the amount of such cash collateral received was $298,770,000 and the amount of Variation Margin Receivable was $6,913,713 as presented in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. See also Note 12 below.

h. Receivable for Investment Securities Sold and Payable for Investment Securities Purchased

Receivable for investment securities sold and Payable for investment securities purchased represents trades that occurred prior to the end of the Fiscal Period but have not settled as of the end of the Fiscal Period (as defined below). These amounts are presented in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

It’s the Fund’s policy to monitor the credit risk of the brokers with which it conducts business.

3. Management Fee

In consideration of management services provided by the Adviser and for services provided by the Adviser or an affiliate for certain administrative services, the Fund pays the Adviser a monthly management fee computed at the annual rate of 1.50% of the Fund’s average daily net assets (the “Management Fee”), which is due and payable in arrears within five business days after the end of each month. This fee is accrued daily as an expense to be paid out of the Fund’s assets and has the effect of reducing the net asset value of the Fund. For the six months ended March 31, 2022, Management Fees totaled $85,078,080, included in the Statement of Operations, of which $12,340,515 remained payable to the Adviser at the end of the reporting period and is included on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

4. Incentive Fee

The Fund also pays the Adviser a performance-based incentive fee (the “Incentive Fee”). The Incentive Fee is determined as of the end of the fiscal year in an amount equal to 20% of the amount by which the Fund’s net profits for all Fiscal Periods (defined below) exceed the balance of the loss carryforward account (described below), without duplication for any Incentive Fees paid during such fiscal year. The Fund also pays the Adviser the Incentive Fee in the event a Fiscal Period is triggered in connection with a Share repurchase offer by the Fund.

For purposes of calculating the Incentive Fee, net profits means the amount by which: (a) the net assets of the Fund as of the end of a Fiscal Period, increased by the dollar amount of Shares repurchased during the Fiscal Period (excluding Shares to be repurchased as of the last day of the Fiscal Period after determination of the Incentive Fee) and by the amount of dividends and other distributions paid to shareholders during the Fiscal Period and not reinvested in additional Shares (excluding any dividends and other distributions to be paid as of the last day of the Fiscal Period), exceeds (b) the net assets of the Fund as of the beginning of the Fiscal Period, increased by the dollar amount of Shares issued during the Fiscal Period (excluding any Shares issued in connection with the reinvestment of dividends and other distributions paid by the Fund).

Net assets means the total value of all assets of the Fund, less an amount equal to all accrued debts, liabilities and obligations of the Fund, determined in accordance with the valuation and accounting policies and procedures of the Fund.

“Fiscal Period” means each period ending on the Fund’s fiscal year-end (or such other period ending on the Fund’s fiscal year-end in the event the Fund’s fiscal year is changed), provided that whenever the Fund conducts a Share repurchase offer, the period of time from the last Fiscal Period-end through the effective date of the repurchase offer also constitutes a Fiscal Period for purposes of calculating the Incentive Fee due (if any) on Shares being tendered for repurchase.

The Incentive Fee is payable for a Fiscal Period only if there is no positive balance in the Fund’s loss carryforward account. The loss carryforward account is an account that is credited as of the end of each Fiscal Period with the amount of any net loss of the Fund for that Fiscal Period and will be debited (but not below zero) with the amount of any net profits of the Fund for that Fiscal Period. This is sometimes known as a “high water mark.” The loss carryforward account is also reduced by: (i) the payment by the Fund of any dividend or other distribution to Shareholders (unless the full amount thereof is reinvested in Shares of the Fund); and (ii) any repurchase by the Fund of its Shares.

For the six months ended March 31, 2022, there were no accrued Incentive Fees.

5. Distribution and Shareholder Servicing Fees

The Board has approved, and the Fund has adopted, a distribution and service plan that allows the Fund to pay distribution and service fees for the sale and distribution of its shares, and the related servicing of shareholders. Under the plan, Class A Shares of the Fund are subject to ongoing distribution and shareholder servicing fees to compensate Selling Agents for selling Shares of the Fund, marketing the Fund and providing, or arranging for the provision of, ongoing investor services and account maintenance services to investors in the Fund. These fees are accrued daily and paid monthly in an amount not to exceed, in the aggregate, 0.75% (on an annualized basis) of the net asset value of the Class A Shares of the Fund (the “Distribution and Shareholder Servicing Fees”). Distribution and Shareholder Servicing Fees are accrued daily as an expense of the Fund. Class W Shares of the Fund are not subject to the Distribution and Shareholder Servicing Fees.

For the six months ended March 31, 2022, Distribution and Shareholder Servicing Fees amounted to $32,842,909 and is included in the Statement of Operations. At March 31, 2022, $4,772,823 remained payable as distribution and shareholder servicing fees as presented in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

6. Administration Fee, Related Party Transactions and Other

BNY Mellon Investment Servicing (US) Inc. (“BNY Mellon”) serves as the Fund’s administrator and provides various administration, fund accounting, investor accounting and taxation services to the Fund. BNY Mellon also provides transfer agency services to the Fund and is paid a minimum of $20,000 per annum for such services. In consideration of the administration and accounting services, the Fund pays BNY Mellon a monthly asset-based fee that includes the regulatory administration fee, which is not anticipated to exceed .08% of the Fund’s average net assets. The Fund also reimburses BNY Mellon for certain out-of-pocket expenses. For the six months ended March 31, 2022, administration fees amounted to $2,452,686, as presented in the Statement of Operations. At March 31, 2022, $1,150,128 of administration fees remained payable, as presented in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, representing three months’ worth of such fees. Morgan Stanley Fund Services USA LLC (“MSFS”) also provides certain additional reporting (non-distribution) services to the Fund. In consideration for such services, the Fund pays MSFS an amount not anticipated to exceed .01% of the Fund’s average net assets per year.

6. Administration Fee, Related Party Transactions and Other (continued)

The Custodian serves as the primary custodian of the Fund’s assets, and may maintain custody of the Fund’s assets with domestic and foreign sub-custodians (which may be banks, trust companies, securities depositories and clearing agencies) approved by the Board in accordance with the requirements set forth in Section 17(f) of the 1940 Act and the rules adopted thereunder. Assets of the Fund are not held by the Adviser or commingled with the assets of other accounts other than to the extent that securities are held in the name of a custodian in a securities depository, clearing agency or omnibus customer account of a custodian.

The Fund’s distributor is Breakwater Group Distribution Services LLC (“Breakwater”). Alkeon, the sole member of the Adviser, is the non-managing member of Breakwater, a broker-dealer that employs certain of Alkeon’s employees. Breakwater, an underwriter under the federal securities laws, serves as Underwriter of the Fund’s Shares on a best efforts basis. Pursuant to the terms of the Underwriter’s distribution agreement with the Fund, the Underwriter may retain Selling Agents to assist in the distribution of Shares. As described in Note 5 above and in the Fund’s prospectus, Distribution and Shareholder Servicing Fees are used to compensate Selling Agents and are generally not retained by Breakwater.

Each Independent Trustee receives an annual retainer of $57,500 plus reimbursement of reasonable out of pocket expenses. Trustees who are “interested persons” do not receive any annual or other fee from the Fund. Trustees who are “interested persons” are reimbursed by the Fund for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in performing their duties. The Officers of the Fund serve without compensation.

7. Indemnifications and Financial Guarantees

The Fund has entered into several contracts that contain routine indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. The Fund has had no claims or payments pursuant to these or prior agreements, and the Fund believes the likelihood of a claim being made is remote. Other than the foregoing, the Fund has no other commitments or contingencies.

8. Securities Transactions

Aggregate purchases and sales of long-term investment securities for the six months ended March 31, 2022 amounted to $8,490,094,047 and $9,210,794,163, respectively. For the six months ended March 31, 2022, there were no transactions of government securities.

9. Borrowings

The Fund is authorized to borrow money for investment purposes, to meet repurchase requests and for liquidity purposes. Borrowings by the Fund (which do not include securities sold, not yet purchased and derivative transactions), subject to limitations of the 1940 Act, will not exceed 33⅓ percent of the Fund’s total assets. Purchasing equity securities on margin involves an initial cash requirement representing at least 50% of the underlying security’s value with respect to transactions in U.S. markets and varying (typically lower) percentages with respect to transactions in foreign markets. Borrowing for investment purposes (a practice known as “leverage”) is a speculative investment practice and involves certain risks.

Although leverage can increase investment returns if the Fund earns a greater return on the investments purchased with borrowed funds than it pays for the use of those funds, the use of leverage will decrease investment returns if the Fund fails to earn as much on investments purchased with borrowed funds as it pays for the use of those funds. The use of leverage will therefore magnify the impact of changes in the value of investments held by the Fund on the Fund’s net asset value and thus can increase the volatility of the Fund’s net asset value per Share. The Fund’s investment program makes frequent use of leverage.

For the six months ended March 31, 2022, the average daily amount of such borrowings was $38,920,798 and the daily weighted average annualized interest rate was 1.76%. At March 31, 2022, the total amount of such borrowings was $3,873,683, presented as part of due to brokers in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

As of March 31, 2022, the Adviser and its affiliates own 12,487.735 Class A Shares of the Fund.

11. Principal and Non-Principal Fund Investment Practices and Their Risks

Although the Fund’s principal investment strategy is to invest primarily in publicly traded equity securities of U.S. and foreign companies, the Fund may invest its assets in other types of securities and in other asset classes when, in the judgment of the Adviser (subject to any policies established by the Board), such investments present opportunities for the Fund to achieve maximum capital appreciation, taking into account the availability of equity investment opportunities, market conditions, the relative risk/reward analysis of other investments compared to equity securities, and such other considerations as the Adviser deems appropriate.

The Fund may effect short sales of securities when the Adviser believes that the market price of a security is above its estimated intrinsic or fundamental value. For example, the Fund may “short” a security of a company if the Adviser believes the security is over-valued in relation to the issuer’s prospects for earnings growth. In addition, the Fund may attempt to limit exposure to a possible market decline in the value of its portfolio securities through short sales of securities that the Adviser believes possess volatility characteristics similar to those being hedged. At times, the Fund may be exposed significantly to short positions and, as a result, the dollar value of short positions in the portfolio could exceed the dollar value of long positions.

To effect a short sale, the Fund will borrow a security from a brokerage firm to make delivery to the buyer. The Fund is then obligated to replace the borrowed security by purchasing it at the market price at the time of replacement. Thus, short sales expose the Fund to the risk that it will be required to buy the security sold short (also known as “covering” the short position) at a time when the security has appreciated in value, thus resulting in a loss to the Fund. Positions in stocks sold short are more risky than long positions (purchases) in stocks because the maximum loss on a stock purchased is limited to the amount paid for the stock plus the transaction costs, where in the case of a short sale, there is no limit on the loss that may be incurred. The Fund is required to pay the lender any dividends declared on short positions. Such amounts are recorded on the ex-dividend date as Dividends on securities sold, not yet purchased on the Statement of Operations. In accordance with the terms of its prime brokerage agreement, the Funds may be charged a fee on borrowed securities. Such fees are calculated on a daily basis based upon the market value of each borrowed security and a variable rate that is dependent upon the availability of such security. The fees are presented as Stock loan fees on the Statement of Operations. There is a risk that the borrowed securities would need to be returned to the brokerage firm on short notice. If a request for return of securities occurs at a time when other short sellers of the subject security are receiving similar requests, a “short squeeze” can occur, and the Fund might be compelled, at the most disadvantageous time, to replace

41


ACAP STRATEGIC FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—MARCH 31, 2022 (Unaudited) (continued)

11. Principal and Non-Principal Fund Investment Practices and Their Risks (continued)

borrowed securities previously sold short with purchases on the open market, possibly at prices significantly in excess of the price at which the securities were sold short. The successful use of short selling may be adversely affected by imperfect correlation between movements in the price of the security sold short and the securities being hedged. Short selling may exaggerate the volatility of the Fund’s investment portfolio. Short selling may also produce higher than normal portfolio turnover and may result in increased transaction costs to the Fund. In addition, the Fund, as a result of certain short sale transactions, may recognize short term capital gain.

The Fund’s short sales have the effect of leveraging the Fund’s assets. The Fund may also generate leverage through engaging in securities lending. The Fund’s use of total return swaps can also expose the Fund to leveraged investment exposure. During periods of volatility, regulators may impose certain restrictions or disclosure requirements on short sales. The levels of restriction and disclosure may vary across different jurisdictions. Such restrictions and disclosure requirements may make it difficult for the Adviser to express its negative views in relation to certain securities, companies or sectors, which may have an adverse effect on the Fund’s ability to implement its investment strategy.

Authoritative guidance on disclosures about derivative instruments and hedging activities requires qualitative disclosures about objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosures about fair value amounts of gains and losses on derivative instruments and disclosures about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative agreements. The realized gain/(loss) on swap contracts and foreign currency transactions is reflected on the Statement of Operations within these financial statements. The net change in unrealized appreciation/depreciation on swap contracts is reflected on the Statement of Operations within these financial statements. The net change in unrealized appreciation/depreciation on foreign currency transactions is reflected on the Statement of Operations within these financial statements as a component of the net change in unrealized appreciation/depreciation from investment activities and foreign currency transactions. Option contracts serve as components of the Fund’s investment strategies and are utilized to structure investments to enhance the performance of the Fund.

Foreign (Non-U.S.) Risk – Investments in securities of non-U.S. issuers may involve more risk than those of U.S. issuers. These securities may fluctuate more widely in price and may be less liquid due to adverse market, economic, political, regulatory or other factors.

The Coronavirus (“COVID-19”) outbreak has been declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization and has spread to the United States and many other parts of the world and may adversely affect the value and the performance of the Fund’s investments. The outbreak of COVID-19 and new variants of COVID-19 continue to exist both in the U.S. and globally, and related government and private sector responsive actions may adversely affect the Fund’s investments. The extent to which COVID-19 impacts the Fund’s results will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity of COVID-19 and the actions taken to contain it or treat its impact.

In February 2022, Russia launched a large-scale invasion of Ukraine. The extent and duration of Russian military action in the Ukraine, resulting sanctions and resulting future market disruptions, including declines in stock markets in Russia and elsewhere and the value of the ruble against the U.S. dollar, are impossible to predict, but have been and could continue to be significant. Any such disruptions caused by Russian military or other actions (including cyberattacks and espionage) or resulting from actual or threatened responses to such actions have caused and could continue to cause disruptions to portfolio companies located in Europe or that have substantial business relationships with European or Russian companies. The extent and duration of the military action, sanctions and resulting market disruptions are impossible to predict, but have been and could continue to be substantial. Any such market disruptions could affect the operations of the Fund’s portfolio companies and, as a result, could have a material adverse effect on the Fund’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

11. Principal and Non-Principal Fund Investment Practices and Their Risks (continued)

a. Bonds and Other Fixed-Income Securities

The Fund may invest without limit in high quality fixed-income securities for temporary defensive purposes and to maintain liquidity. For these purposes, “fixed-income securities” are bonds, notes and debentures issued by corporations; debt securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or one of its agencies or instrumentalities (“U.S. Government Securities”) or by a foreign government; municipal securities; and mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities. These securities may pay fixed, variable or floating rates of interest, and may include zero coupon obligations. Fixed-income securities are subject to the risk of the issuer’s inability to meet principal and interest payments on its obligations (i.e., credit risk) and are subject to price volatility due to such factors as interest rate sensitivity, market perception of the credit worthiness of the issuer and general market liquidity (i.e., market risk).

The Fund may also invest in both investment grade and non-investment grade debt securities. Investment grade debt securities are securities that have received a rating from at least one nationally recognized statistical rating organization (“NRSRO”) in one of the four highest rating categories or, if not rated by any NRSRO, have been determined by the Adviser to be of comparable quality.

The Fund may also invest in convertible bonds.

Non-investment grade debt securities (typically called “junk bonds”) are securities that have received a rating from an NRSRO of below investment grade or have been given no rating, and are considered by the NRSRO to be predominantly speculative with respect to the issuer’s capacity to pay interest and repay principal. Non-investment grade debt securities in the lowest rating categories may involve a substantial risk of default or may be in default. Adverse changes in economic conditions or developments regarding the individual issuer are more likely to cause price volatility and weaken the capacity of the issuers of non-investment grade debt securities to make principal and interest payments than is the case for higher grade debt securities. An economic downturn affecting an issuer of non-investment grade debt securities may result in an increased incidence of default. In addition, the market for lower grade debt securities may be thinner and less active than for higher grade debt securities. The Fund does not expect to invest more than 15% of its net assets in non-convertible debt securities. The Fund’s investments in non-investment grade debt securities, if any, are not expected to exceed 5% of its net assets.

At March 31, 2022, the Fund held no positions of the above-mentioned investments.

b. Exchange Traded Funds and Other Similar Instruments

The Fund may purchase retail shares of exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) that are registered under the 1940 Act and retail shares of similar investment vehicles that are not registered under the 1940 Act (together with the ETFs, “Traded Funds”) and effect short sales of these shares. Transactions in Traded Funds may be used in seeking maximum capital appreciation or for hedging purposes. Typically, a Traded Fund holds a portfolio of common stocks designed to track the performance of a particular index or a “basket” of stocks of companies within a particular industry sector or group. Traded Funds sell and redeem their shares at net asset value in large blocks (typically 50,000 shares) called “creation units.” Shares representing fractional interests in these creation units are listed for trading on national securities exchanges and can be purchased and sold in the secondary market in lots of any size at any time during the trading day (i.e., retail shares).

Investments in Traded Funds involve certain inherent risks generally associated with investments in a broadly-based portfolio of stocks including risks that the general level of stock prices may decline, thereby adversely affecting the value of each unit of the Traded Funds. In addition, a Traded Fund may not fully replicate the performance of its benchmark index because of the temporary unavailability of certain index securities in the secondary market or discrepancies between the Traded Fund and the index with respect to the weighting of securities or number of stocks held.

11. Principal and Non-Principal Fund Investment Practices and Their Risks (continued)

b. Exchange Traded Funds and Other Similar Instruments (continued)

Because Traded Funds bear various fees and expenses, the Fund’s investment in these instruments will involve certain indirect costs, as well as transaction costs, such as brokerage commissions. The Adviser considers the expenses associated with an investment in determining whether to invest in a Traded Fund.

At March 31, 2022, the Fund held no positions of the above-mentioned investments.

c. Temporary Investments; U.S. Government Securities Risk

During periods of adverse market conditions in the equity securities markets, the Fund may deviate from its investment objective and invest all or a portion of its assets in high quality debt securities, money market instruments, or hold its assets in cash. Securities will be deemed to be of high quality if they are rated in the top four categories by an NRSRO or, if unrated, are determined to be of comparable quality by the Adviser. Money market instruments are high quality, short-term debt obligations (which generally have remaining maturities of one year or less), and may include: U.S. Government Securities; commercial paper; certificates of deposit and banker’s acceptances issued by domestic branches of United States banks that are members of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”); and repurchase agreements for U.S. Government Securities. In lieu of purchasing money market instruments, the Fund may purchase shares of money market mutual funds that invest primarily in U.S. Government Securities and repurchase agreements involving those securities, subject to certain limitations imposed by the 1940 Act.

The Fund may also invest in money market instruments or purchase shares of money market mutual funds pending investment of its assets in equity securities or non-money market debt securities, or to maintain such liquidity as may be necessary to effect repurchases of shares from shareholders or for other purposes.

It is possible that the U.S. Government would not provide financial support to its agencies or instrumentalities if it were not required to do so by law. If a U.S. Government agency or instrumentality in which the Fund invests defaults and the U.S. Government does not stand behind the obligation, the Fund’s Share price or yield could fall. The U.S. Government’s guarantee of ultimate payment of principal and timely payment of interest of the U.S. Government Securities owned by the Fund does not imply that the Fund’s Shares are guaranteed by the FDIC or any other government agency, or that the price of the Fund’s Shares will not continue to fluctuate.

At March 31, 2022, the fair value of the above-mentioned investments was $590,464,451 and is presented as part of investments in securities on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

d. Total Return Swaps

The Adviser may use total return swaps to pursue the Fund’s investment objective of maximum capital appreciation. The Adviser may also use these swaps for hedging purposes. A swap is a contract under which two parties agree to make periodic payments to each other based on specified interest rates, an index or the value of some other instrument, applied to a stated notional amount. Swaps generally can be classified as interest rate swaps, currency swaps, commodity swaps, total return swaps or equity swaps, depending on the type of index or instrument used to calculate the payments. Such swaps would increase or decrease the Fund’s investment exposure to the particular interest rate, currency, commodity or equity involved.

Total return swap agreements are contracts in which one party agrees to make periodic payments based on the change in market value of underlying assets, which may include a specified security, basket of securities, defined portfolios of bonds, loans and mortgages, or securities indexes during the specified period, in return for periodic payments based on a fixed or variable interest rate or the total return of other underlying assets or indices. Total return swap agreements may be used to obtain exposure to a security or market without owning or taking physical custody of such security index or market.

ACAP STRATEGIC FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—MARCH 31, 2022 (Unaudited) (continued)

11. Principal and Non-Principal Fund Investment Practices and Their Risks (continued)

d. Total Return Swaps (continued)

Most swap agreements entered into by the Fund require the calculation of the obligations of the parties to the agreements on a “net basis.” Consequently, current obligations (or rights) under a swap agreement generally will be equal to only the net amount to be paid or received under the agreement based on the relative values of the positions held by each party to the agreement (the “net amount”). The Fund’s current obligations under a swap agreement will be accrued daily (offset against amounts owed to the Fund), and any accrued but unpaid net amounts owed to a swap counterparty will be covered in accordance with applicable regulatory requirements. Obligations under swap agreements so covered will not be construed to be “senior securities” for purposes of the Fund’s investment restriction concerning senior securities.

The Fund is subject to the market risk associated with changes in the value of the underlying investment or instrument, as well as exposure to credit risk associated with counterparty non-performance on swap contracts. The risk of loss with respect to swaps is limited to the net amount of payments that the Fund is contractually obligated to make. If the other party to a swap defaults, the Fund’s risk of loss generally consists of the net amount of payments that the Fund contractually is entitled to receive and/or the termination value at the end of the contract, which may be different than the amounts recorded on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Total return swaps are non-income producing instruments.

The Fund’s total return swap contract counterparty is Morgan Stanley & Co., Inc.

At March 31, 2022, the net amount of the fair value of the above-mentioned investments was $305,683,713 and is presented as unrealized appreciation on total return swap contracts and unrealized depreciation on total return swap contracts on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

e. Call and Put Options on Individual Securities

The Fund may purchase call and put options in respect of specific securities, and may write and sell covered or uncovered call and put options for hedging purposes and non-hedging purposes to pursue its investment objective. A put option gives the purchaser of the option the right to sell, and obligates the writer to buy, the underlying security at a stated exercise price at any time prior to the expiration of the option. Similarly, a call option gives the purchaser of the option the right to buy, and obligates the writer to sell, the underlying security at a stated exercise price at any time prior to the expiration of the option. A covered call option written by the Fund is a call option with respect to which the Fund owns the underlying security. A covered put option written by the Fund is a put option with respect to which cash or liquid securities have been placed in a segregated account on the Fund’s books or with the Fund’s custodian to fulfill the obligation undertaken.

The Fund may close out a position when writing options by purchasing an option on the same security with the same exercise price and expiration date as the option that it has previously written on the security. The Fund will realize a profit or loss if the amount paid to purchase an option is less or more, as the case may be, than the amount received from the sale thereof. To close out a position as a purchaser of an option, the Fund would ordinarily make a similar “closing sale transaction,” which involves liquidating the Fund’s position by selling the option previously purchased, although the Fund would be entitled to exercise the option should it deem it advantageous to do so. The Fund may also invest in so-called “synthetic” options or other derivative instruments written by broker-dealers.

Options transactions may be effected on securities exchanges or in the over-the-counter market. Over-the-counter options purchased and sold by the Fund may also include options on baskets of specific securities. The use of options is a highly specialized activity which involves investment techniques and risks different from those associated with ordinary portfolio securities transactions. The Fund may buy and sell call and put options, including options on currencies. If the Fund sells a put option, there is a risk that the Fund may be required to buy the underlying asset at a disadvantageous price. If the Fund sells a call option, there is a risk that the Fund

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—MARCH 31, 2022 (Unaudited) (continued)

11. Principal and Non-Principal Fund Investment Practices and Their Risks (continued)

e. Call and Put Options on Individual Securities (continued)

may be required to sell the underlying asset at a disadvantageous price, and if the call option sold is not covered (for example, by owning the underlying asset), the Fund’s losses are potentially unlimited. Options may be traded over-the-counter or on a securities exchange. These transactions involve risks consisting of counterparty credit risk and leverage risk.

At March 31, 2022, the fair value of the above-mentioned investments was $923,807,729 and is presented as part of purchased options in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

f. Foreign Currency Transactions

Portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars based on the exchange rate of such currencies against U.S. dollars on the date of valuation. The Fund may enter into foreign currency exchange contracts to facilitate transactions denominated in a foreign currency. Purchases and sales of securities and income and expense items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date. Occasionally, events may impact the availability or reliability of foreign exchange rates used to convert the U.S. dollar equivalent value. If such an event occurs, the foreign exchange rate will be valued at fair value using procedures established and approved by the Board.

The Fund does not separately report the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates from changes in market prices on securities held. Such changes are included in the net change in unrealized appreciation/depreciation from investment activities and foreign currency transactions and in net realized gain/(loss) from investment activities on the Statement of Operations.

Realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions and the difference between the recorded amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in foreign exchange rates on foreign denominated assets and liabilities other than investments in securities held at the end of the reporting period.

The Fund may enter into forward contracts for hedging and non-hedging purposes to pursue its investment objective. These contracts represent obligations to purchase or to sell a specified amount of currency at a future date and at a specified price agreed to by the parties at the time they enter into the contracts and allow the Fund to “lock in” the U.S. dollar prices of securities. However, there may be an imperfect correlation between the securities being purchased or sold and the forward contracts entered into, and there is a risk that a counterparty will be unable or unwilling to fulfill its obligations under the forward contract.

At March 31, 2022, the Fund held no positions of the above-mentioned investments.

The Fund may also seek to hedge against the decline in the value of a currency or, to the extent applicable, to enhance returns, through the use of currency options. Currency options are similar to options on securities. For example, in consideration for an option premium the writer of a currency option is obligated to sell (in the case of a call option) or purchase (in the case of a put option) a specified amount of a specified currency on or before the expiration date for a specified amount of another currency. The Fund may engage in transactions in options on currencies either on exchanges or over-the-counter markets. Currency options involve substantial currency risk, and may also involve credit, leverage or liquidity risk.

At March 31, 2022, the fair value of the currency options was $1,112,544 and is presented as part of purchased options in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—MARCH 31, 2022 (Unaudited) (continued)

12. Balance Sheet Offsetting

In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into derivative transactions subject to enforceable master netting agreements. International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreements (“ISDA Master Agreements”) govern OTC financial derivative transactions and related collateral entered into by the Fund and its counterparties. The Fund has entered into ISDA Master Agreements with all of its counterparties. The ISDA Master Agreements maintain provisions for general obligations, representations, agreements, collateral and events of termination or default.

Events of termination include conditions that may entitle the Fund/counterparty to elect to terminate an agreement early and cause the settlement of all outstanding transactions under the applicable ISDA Master Agreement. Any election to terminate a contract early could be material to the financial statements.

In an event of default (i.e. the Fund/counterparty (a) fails to post collateral, (b) fails to comply with any restrictions or provisions, or (c) fails to comply with or perform any agreement or obligation), the counterparty/Fund has the right to set-off any amounts payable by the Fund/counterparty with respect to any obligations against any posted collateral or the cash equivalent of any posted collateral. Further, the counterparty/Fund has the right to liquidate, sell, pledge, re-hypothecate, or dispose of such posted collateral to satisfy any outstanding obligations.

Collateral requirements generally differ by type of derivative. Collateral terms are contract-specific for OTC derivatives (e.g. foreign exchange contracts, options, and certain swaps). Generally, for transactions traded under an ISDA Master Agreement, the collateral requirements are calculated by netting the marked to market amount for each transaction under such agreement and comparing that amount to the value of any collateral currently pledged by the Fund/counterparty. Generally, the amount of collateral due to/from a counterparty must exceed a minimum transfer amount threshold before a transfer is required to be made. To the extent amounts due to the Fund from its derivatives counterparties are not fully collateralized, contractually or otherwise, the Fund bears the risk of loss from the counterparty’s non-performance.

The Fund has elected to not offset eligible financial instruments in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities pursuant to the ISDA Master Agreements.

The Fund’s derivative agreements contain credit-risk related contingent features which include, but are not limited to, a percentage decline in the Fund’s NAV over a specified time period. If an event occurred at March 31, 2022 that triggered a contingent feature, the counterparty to the agreement may require the Fund to post additional collateral or terminate the derivative positions and demand payment. Any collateral already posted with respect to the derivative positions would be used to offset or reduce the payment. The maximum exposure to derivative agreements with credit-risk related contingent features would be the total value of derivative instruments in a net liability position for the Fund as of March 31, 2022, as disclosed in the table below. The aggregate fair value of cash and securities posted as collateral as of March 31, 2022 was $587,004,821. If the credit-risk-related contingent features were triggered at the end of the reporting period, no additional collateral would be required to be posted.

At March 31, 2022, no event occurred that triggered a credit-risk-related contingent feature.

13. Federal Tax Information

During the year ended September 30, 2021, taxable gain differs from net increase in net assets resulting from operations primarily due to: (1) unrealized gain/(loss) from investment activities and foreign currency transactions, as investment gains and losses are not included in taxable income until they are realized; (2) deferred wash sales losses and loss deferrals on unsettled short positions; (3) net deferral of qualified late year losses; (4) deferred straddle losses; and (5) net operating losses.

Net capital losses recognized by the Fund may be carried forward indefinitely, and retain their character as short-term and/or long-term losses. As of September 30, 2021, the Fund had no capital loss carryovers available to offset possible future capital gains. Under federal tax law, capital loss realized after October 31, 2020 and certain ordinary losses realized after December 31, 2020 may be deferred and treated as having arisen on the first day of the following fiscal year. For the year ended September 30, 2021, the Fund incurred and elected to defer qualified late-year ordinary loss of $55,124,094.

As of September 30, 2021, the components of accumulated earnings (deficit) on a tax basis were as follows:

Undistributed ordinary income: $
Undistributed long-term capital gains: 216,844,801
Accumulated realized capital and other losses: (55,124,094 )
Net unrealized appreciation/depreciation: 4,233,276,640
     Total $ 4,394,997,347

As of March 31, 2022, the aggregate unrealized appreciation/depreciation and the aggregate cost of investment securities for tax purposes, including purchased options were as follows:

Excess of value over tax cost gross appreciation $ 1,986,903,760
Excess of tax cost over value gross depreciation (191,402,065 )
Net unrealized appreciation $ 1,795,501,695
 
Cost of total investments for income tax purposes $ 10,902,129,092

The authoritative guidance requires that certain components of net assets be reclassified between financial and tax reporting. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or NAV. The permanent differences are primarily attributable to the write-off of net investment loss. For the year ended September 30, 2021, permanent differences in book and tax accounting have been reclassified to paid-in capital, undistributed net investment income (loss) and accumulated realized gain (loss) as follows:

Increase Increase
Undistributed Accumulated
Decrease Net Investment Realized
Paid-in-Capital Income/(Loss) Gain/(Loss)
$(989,502,526)             $948,389,087             $41,113,439

During the years ended September 30, 2021, and September 30, 2020, the tax character of the dividends paid by the Fund was $431,164,919 long-term capital gains and $166,617,734 long-term capital gains, respectively.

ASC Topic 740 Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (“ASC Topic 740”) provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented, and disclosed in the Fund’s financial statements. ASC Topic 740 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Fund’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the

50


ACAP STRATEGIC FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—MARCH 31, 2022 (Unaudited) (continued)

13. Federal Income Tax Information (continued)

applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the “more-likely-than-not” threshold are recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Management’s determinations regarding ASC Topic 740 may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based upon factors including, but not limited to, an ongoing analysis of tax laws, regulations and interpretations thereof. The Fund recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only where the position is “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained assuming examination by tax authorities. In accordance with authoritative guidance, management has analyzed the Fund’s tax positions for the open tax years from 2017 through 2020, and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the Fund’s financial statements. The Fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions as income tax expense in the Statement of Operations. During the period, the Fund did not record any interest or penalties. The Fund is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next 12 months.

The Fund may be subject to a tax imposed on net realized gains on securities of certain foreign countries. The Fund records an estimated deferred tax liability for net unrealized gains on these securities in an amount that would be payable if the securities were disposed of on the valuation date. At September 30, 2021, the Fund had no deferred tax liability.
