Dear Fellow Shareholders,

We are pleased to present the annual report for Griffin Institutional Access^® Credit Fund (the “Fund”). We greatly appreciate the support of our shareholders and will remain true to our stated investment objective of generating a return comprised of both current income and capital appreciation with low volatility and low correlation to the broader markets. From the Fund’s inception on April 3, 2017 through December 31, 2019, the Fund’s Class I shares (NASDAQ: CRDIX) generated a(n):

● 11.00% total return in 2019¹ 

● Total cumulative return of 16.87% and a 5.83% annualized return¹ 

● Sharpe Ratio of 1.39¹ 

● Standard Deviation of 2.89%¹ 

● Alpha of 1.92%¹ 

● Beta of 0.16¹ 

The Fund’s sub-adviser—BCSF Advisors, LP, an affiliate of Bain Capital Credit, LP—has continued to construct a well-diversified alternative credit portfolio. The portfolio composition is ultimately determined through both fundamental quantitative and qualitative analysis to determine the optimal mix of securities across global markets with the potential to deliver strong risk-adjusted returns for investors.

Investment Performance

The Fund delivered strong absolute returns in 2019, driven by a wide range of asset types and industries. The largest contributors to performance during the year by asset type were bank loans⁵ and high-yield bonds, and to a lesser extent, structured credit. The structured credit contribution was split equally between collateralized loan obligation (CLO) debt and equity. Additionally, within the loan category, private debt was a contributor to performance during the year. By industry, our exposure to Aerospace & Defense was additive to returns, while Metals & Mining detracted from performance in the year.⁶ 

Since our inception, active management has been a critical factor in delivering strong risk-adjusted returns to our investors. During 2019, the Fund rotated its position in order to capitalize on relative value opportunities within credit markets across the globe. We reduced our exposure to high yield bonds in the second half of 2019 amidst the substantial outperformance of these securities. From a credit quality perspective, we continue to focus on the B-rated credit market, which has traded at a discount and presents what we view as interesting idiosyncratic credit opportunities. Additionally, we believe that the lack of demand for companies that were subject to negative news or reported weak earnings may provide attractive entry points.

Within structured credit, the Fund added to CLO debt throughout 2019, particularly in mezzanine tranches that were trading at what we believed to be attractive pricing. Towards the end of 2019, we began to trim a portion of these mezzanine holdings as the market started to recover. We have maintained our CLO equity position, though we are making occasional rotations in favor of the new issue market over existing shorter duration equity exposure.

Over the year, we gradually grew our direct lending exposure and remain focused on lending to high-quality businesses in less cyclical industries where we can extend senior secured financing at a spread premium relative to syndicated loan markets.

Market Overview and Outlook⁷ 

Economic growth in the US has been slow and steady. We observe that historically, in a low growth environment, high-yield bonds and loans have outperformed equities and as such we believe it is a good time to be invested in high-yield credit. We also believe valuations are reasonably attractive across credit markets, especially given pricing and low yields in the equity and investment grade bond sectors. While there are certainly market indicators suggesting we are late in the credit cycle, market fundamentals remain generally healthy and we do not anticipate rapidly increasing defaults. That being said, we feel that volatility will likely continue in the near to medium term, especially given that 2020 is an election year. In our view, it is not the time to chase yield or to overweight illiquid assets.

3

During 2019, credit markets witnessed unprecedented market behavior as the historical relationships between various securities showed uncharacteristic movements. High-yield credit performed exceedingly well with the S&P/LSTA Leveraged Loan Index and the ICE Bank of America Merrill Lynch High Yield Index up 8.6% and 14.4%, respectively. This performance would suggest a risk-on market sentiment, however the underlying story was quite the opposite. Investors generally favored the high-quality portion of the high yield market, i.e. BB-rated loans and bonds – and shunned lower rated CCC assets. Higher-quality BB bond returns significantly outperformed lower rated CCC assets, quite contrary to a risk-on market sentiment. CLOs, which generally invest in syndicated, secured loans, declined in price throughout most of the year while the S&P/LSTA Leveraged Loan Index was up over 8% in 2019. At the same time, Treasury yields collapsed as market participants sought safety. Needless to say, 2019 was a unique year which presented both opportunities and challenges for investors.

Given the current market backdrop, sector diversification and dynamic asset allocation will be key in delivering attractive risk-adjusted returns. Moving forward, we believe that some of the portfolio themes we implemented throughout the year within loans and bonds as well structured credit may continue to produce positive results. For example, discounted loans and bonds received a strong bid towards the end of the year and early in 2020. We believe selective value remains in the loan market, most notably in the B-rated debt segment. Also, the Fund has been underweight to the BB-rated debt segment of the market as we believe this segment could exhibit increased volatility during periods of stress. While B-rated debt is not immune to the same risks, we believe better value can be found in the B-rated debt segment of the market. Further, within structured credit, CLO debt which has been a consistent and growing position within the Fund, lagged the broader credit markets through most of 2019 but retraced some losses in November and December. CLO equity remains a key position in the portfolio and continues to offer double digit distribution yields and upside convexity.

We are pleased with the growth of the Fund as well as our current portfolio positioning. We believe that our ability to actively manage the portfolio across credit sectors and markets will allow us to provide value to our shareholders.

Thank you for your investment in and continued support of Griffin Institutional Access Credit Fund.

Sincerely,

GLOSSARY (UNAUDITED)

Alpha: A measure of risk-adjusted return implying how much a fund/manager outperformed its benchmark, given its risk profile. The S&P 500 is used as the benchmark for alpha in this report.

Annualized Return: Calculated by annualizing cumulative return (i.e., adjusting it for a period of one year). Annualized return includes capital appreciation and assumes a reinvestment of dividends and distributions.

Beta: A measure of systematic risk (volatility), or the sensitivity of a fund to movements in a benchmark. A beta of 1 implies that you can expect the movement of a fund’s return series to match that of the benchmark used to measure beta. A value of less than 1 implies that the fund is less volatile than the index. The S&P 500 is used as the benchmark for beta in this report.

Bond: A debt instrument, also considered a loan, that an investor makes to a corporation, government, federal agency or other organization (known as an issuer) in which the issuer typically agrees to pay the owner the amount of the face value of the bond on a future date, and to pay interest at a specified rate at regular intervals.

Collateralized Loan Obligation (CLO): A security backed by a pool of commercial or personal loans, structured so there are several classes of bondholders with varying maturities, called tranches.

CLO Equity: A tranche in the CLO structure with ownership interest.

Convexity: Measure of the curvature in the relationship between bond prices and bond yields that demonstrates how the duration of a bond changes as the interest rate changes.

Correlation: A statistical measure of how two securities move in relation to each other. A correlation ranges from -1 to 1. A positive correlation of 1 implies that as one security moves, either up or down, the other security will move in lockstep, in the same direction. A negative correlation of -1 indicates that the securities have moved in the opposite direction. If the correlation is 0, the movements of the securities are said to have no correlation; they are completely random.

Cumulative Return: The compound return of an investment. It includes capital appreciation and assumes a reinvestment of dividends and distributions.

High-Yield Bond: A bond issued by an issuer that is considered a credit risk by a Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organization, as indicated by a low bond rating (e.g., “Ba” or lower by Moody’s Investors Services, or “BB” or below by Standard & Poor’s Corporation). Because of this risk, a high-yield bond generally pays a higher return (yield) than a bond with an issuer that carries lower default risk. Also known as a “junk” bond.

ICE Bank of America Merrill Lynch US High Yield Index: Tracks the performance of US dollar denominated below investment grade corporate debt publicly issued in the US domestic market.

London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR): Benchmark interest rate index used to make adjustments to variable-rate loans. LIBOR is used by world banks when charging each other for short-term loans.

S&P/LSTA Leveraged Loan Index (LSTA): A daily total return index that uses mark-to-market pricing to calculate market value change. It tracks, on a real-time basis, the current outstanding balance and spread over LIBOR for fully funded term loans. The facilities included in the LSTA represent a broad cross section of leveraged loans syndicated in the United States, including dollar-denominated loans to overseas issuers.

Secured Loan: A loan that is backed or secured by collateral, which reduces the risk associated with the loan.

Sharpe Ratio: Measures risk-adjusted returns by calculating the excess return (above the risk free rate) per unit of risk (standard deviation). The higher the ratio, the better the risk-adjusted returns. The average 3 month U.S. Treasury T-bill auction was used as the risk free rate in this material.

Standard Deviation: Measures the average deviations of a return series from its mean, and is often used as a measure of volatility/risk. A large standard deviation implies that there have been large swings in the return series of the manager.

IMPORTANT DISCLOSURES (UNAUDITED)

This is neither an offer to sell nor a solicitation to purchase any security. Investors should carefully consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses of Griffin Institutional Access Credit Fund (the “Fund”). This and other important information about the Fund is contained in the prospectus, which can be obtained by contacting your financial advisor or visiting www.griffincapital.com. Please read the prospectus carefully before investing.

All Morningstar calculations and metrics are based on monthly data. Performance reflects management fees and other expenses. Performance uses the Class I share (NASDAQ: CRDIX) of Griffin Institutional Access Credit Fund. Investors of the Class I share do not pay a front-end sales charge/load.

Past performance is not a guarantee of future results. Investing in the Fund involves risks, including the risk that you may receive little or no return on your investment or that you may lose part or all of your investment. The ability of the Fund to achieve its investment objective depends, in part, on the ability of the Adviser to allocate effectively the assets of the Fund among the various securities and investments in which the Fund invests. There can be no assurance that the actual allocations will be effective in achieving the Fund’s investment objective or delivering positive returns. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted. The most recent performance is available at www.griffincapital.com or by calling 888.926.2688.

The Fund is a closed-end interval fund, the shares have no history of public trading, nor is it intended that the shares will be listed on a public exchange at this time. No secondary market is expected to develop for the Fund’s shares. Limited liquidity is provided to shareholders only through the Fund’s quarterly repurchase offers for no less than 5% and no more than 25% of the Fund’s shares outstanding at net asset value. There is no guarantee that an investor will be able to sell all the shares that the investor desires to sell in the repurchase offer. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost. Due to these restrictions, an investor should consider an investment in the Fund to be of limited liquidity. The Fund is suitable only for investors who can bear the risks associated with the limited liquidity of the Fund and should be viewed as a long-term investment. Investing in the Fund is speculative and involves a high degree of risk, including the risks associated with leverage and the risk of a substantial loss of investment. There is no guarantee that the investment strategies will work under all market conditions.

The Fund’s inception date was April 3, 2017. Per the Fund’s prospectus dated November 15, 2019, the total annual expense ratio is 2.67% for Class I. Performance data quoted represents past performance. Past performance is no guarantee of future results and investment returns and principal value of the Fund will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than performance data quoted. The Adviser and Fund have entered into an expense limitation agreement until at least November 15, 2020 under which the Adviser has contractually agreed to waive its fees and to pay or absorb the ordinary annual operating expenses of the Fund (including offering expenses, but excluding taxes, interest, brokerage commissions, acquired fund fees and expenses and extraordinary expenses) to the extent that they exceed 2.35% for Class I, subject to possible recoupment from the Fund in future years. Separate of the expense limitation agreement, commencing on August 26, 2019, the Adviser voluntarily absorbs Fund expenses in excess of 1.25% and will continue to bear such expenses on a going forward basis in its discretion and is under no obligation to continue to do so for any specified period of time. Prior to August 26, 2019 and since the commencement of the operations of the Fund, the Adviser has borne all of the operating expenses of the Fund and waived its entire management fee. Without the waiver the expenses would have been higher. Fund returns would have been lower had expenses, such as management fees, not been waived during the period. The Fund return does not reflect the deduction of all fees and if the Fund return reflected the deduction of such fees, the performance would be lower.

Investors in the Fund should understand that the net asset value (“NAV”) of the Fund will fluctuate, which may result in a loss of the principal amount invested. The Fund’s investments may be negatively affected by the broad investment environment and capital markets in which the Fund invests, including the real estate market, the debt market and/or the equity securities market. The value of the Fund’s investments will increase or decrease based on changes in the prices of the investments it holds. This will cause the value of the Fund’s shares to increase or decrease. The Fund is “non-diversified” under the Investment Company Act of 1940 since changes in the financial condition or market value of a single issuer may cause a greater fluctuation in the Fund’s net asset value than in a “diversified” fund. Diversification does not eliminate the risk of experiencing investment losses. Holdings are subject to change without notice. The Fund is not intended to be a complete investment program.

When the Fund invests in debt securities, the value of your investment in the Fund will fluctuate with changes in interest rates. There is a risk that debt issuers will not make payments, resulting in losses to the Fund. The Adviser’s judgments about the attractiveness, value and potential appreciation of a particular sector and securities in which the Fund invests may prove to be incorrect and may not produce the desired results. Foreign investing involves special risks such as currency fluctuations and political uncertainty. The Fund’s use of derivative instruments involves risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities and other traditional investments. Derivatives may involve certain costs and risks such as liquidity, interest rate, market, credit, management and pricing risk (i.e., derivatives may be difficult to value). Derivatives may also be leveraged and subject to counterparty risk (e.g., the risk of a counterparty’s defaulting on the obligation or bankruptcy).

8

Investing in derivatives could substantially increase the impact of adverse price movements on the Fund’s portfolio. Derivatives are also subject to non-correlation risk because they may not be perfect substitutes for the instruments they are intended to hedge or replace. It may not be possible for the Fund to liquidate a derivative position at an advantageous time or price, which may result in significant losses. These investments give the Fund investment exposure that is greater than the investment amount. There is no guarantee that the Fund’s leverage strategy will be successful.

The Fund’s distribution policy is to make quarterly distributions to shareholders. The Fund intends to declare and pay distributions from its net investment income, however, the amount of distributions that the Fund may pay, if any, is uncertain. Shareholders should not assume that the source of a distribution from the Fund is net profit. All or a portion of a distribution may consist of a return of capital (i.e. from your original investment) and not a return of net profit. Historically, distributions have not included return of capital. Please refer to the Fund’s most recent Section 19(a) notice, if applicable, at www.griffincapital.com or the Fund’s semi-annual or annual reports filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for the sources of distributions. The Fund’s distributions may be affected by numerous factors, including but not limited to changes in realized and projected market returns, fluctuations in market interest rates, Fund performance, and other factors. There can be no assurance that a change in market conditions or other factors will not result in a change in the Fund’s distribution rate or that the rate will be sustainable in the future. The Fund intends to distribute as of the last business day of each quarter. Distributions are not guaranteed.

GCCA is registered as an investment adviser with the SEC pursuant to the provisions of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (the “Advisers Act”). GCCA is an indirect majority-owned subsidiary of Griffin Capital Company, LLC. The Fund is sub-advised by BCSF Advisors, LP (“BCSF”).

The S&P/LSTA Leveraged Loan Index is a capitalization-weighted syndicated loan index based upon market weightings, spreads and interest payments. The S&P/LSTA Leveraged Loan Index covers the U.S. market back to 1997 and currently calculates on a daily basis.

Indexes are not actively managed and do not reflect deduction of fees, expenses or taxes. An investor cannot invest directly into an index.

The returns shown above do not reflect the deduction of taxes a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or redemption of Fund shares.

The performance data quoted above represents past performance. Past performance is not a guarantee of future results. Investment return and value of the Fund shares will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when sold or redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance may be lower or higher than performance data quoted. Fund performance current to the most recent month-end is available by calling 1-888-926-2688 or by visiting www.griffincapital.com.

Class A shares are offered subject to a maximum sales charge of 5.75% of the offering price and Class L shares are offered subject to a maximum sales charge of 4.25% of the offering price. Class C, Class I and Class F shares are offered at net asset value per share. Class C shares may be subject to a 1.00% contingent deferred sales charge on shares redeemed during the first 365 days after their purchase. The Adviser and the Fund have entered into an expense limitation and reimbursement agreement (the “Expense Limitation Agreement”) under which the Adviser has agreed contractually to waive its fees and to pay or absorb the ordinary annual operating expenses of the Fund (including offering expenses, but excluding taxes, interest, brokerage commissions, acquired fund fees and expenses and extraordinary expenses) at least through November 15, 2020, so that the total annual operating expenses of the Fund do not exceed 2.60% per annum of Class A average daily net assets, 3.35% per annum of Class C average daily net assets, 2.35% per annum of Class I average daily net assets, 2.85% per annum of Class L average daily net assets and 1.85% per annum of Class F average daily net assets (the “Expense Limitations”). The agreement can be extended at the discretion of the Adviser and the Trustees. Without the waiver, the expenses would be 2.93%, 3.67%, 2.67%, 3.16%, and 2.66% for Class A, Class C, Class I, Class L and Class F, respectively per the Fund’s most recent prospectus. In consideration of the Adviser’s agreement to limit the Fund’s expenses, the Fund has agreed to repay the Adviser in the amount of any fees waived and Fund expenses paid or absorbed, subject to the limitations that: (1) the reimbursement for fees and expenses will be made only if payable not more than three years from the date such expenses were incurred; and (2) the reimbursement may not be made if it would cause the lesser of the Expense Limitations in place at the time of waiver or at the time of reimbursement to be exceeded. Fees waived and Fund expenses paid or absorbed with respect to Class F assets will not be repaid or reimbursed. In addition to the Expense Limitation Agreement described above, the Adviser voluntarily has waived or absorbed all of the operating expenses of the Fund since the commencement of the Fund’s operations. The Adviser will continue to bear such expenses on a going forward basis in its discretion and is under no obligation to continue to do so for any specified period of time. Operating expenses absorbed by the Adviser during this voluntary period will be permanently waived. In the absence of the election by the Adviser to bear all of the Fund’s operating expenses, the performance of the Fund would have been reduced. Please review the Fund’s Prospectus for more details regarding the Fund’s fees and expenses. No assurances can be given that the Fund will pay a distribution in the future; or, if any such distribution is paid, the amount or rate of the distribution.

Griffin Institutional Access Credit Fund Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements

December 31, 2019

1. ORGANIZATION

Griffin Institutional Access Credit Fund (the “Fund”) is registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as a non-diversified, closed-end management investment company. The Fund engages in a continuous offering of shares and operates as an interval fund that offers quarterly repurchases of shares at net asset value. The Fund’s SEC registered investment adviser is Griffin Capital Credit Advisor, LLC (the “Adviser”). BCSF Advisors, LP (the “Sub-Adviser”), an affiliate of Bain Capital Credit, LP, serves as the Fund’s sub-adviser. The investment objective of the Fund is to generate a return comprised of both current income and capital appreciation with an emphasis on current income with low volatility and low correlation to the broader markets. The Fund pursues its investment objective by investing in a range of secured and unsecured debt obligations, which may be syndicated, consisting of U.S. high yield securities, global high yield securities, direct lending investments including direct originated debt obligations, collateralized loan obligations (“CLOs”), and other fixed-income and fixed-income related securities. The portfolio may consist of high yield bonds and bank loans, equity securities, CLOs, and direct lending investments, which may include senior direct lending (“SDL”) as well as subordinate and unitranche direct lending. The Fund may also acquire warrants and other equity interests through its direct lending activities. The portfolio may also consist of, to a lesser extent, special situations investments such as non-performing loans (“NPLs”). In pursuing its investment objective, the Fund may also directly or indirectly invest in derivative investments, such as total return swap agreements.

The Fund was organized as a statutory trust on April 5, 2016 under the laws of the State of Delaware. The Fund commenced operations on April 3, 2017 and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares with no par value.

The Fund currently offers Class A, Class C, Class I and Class L shares. Class A, Class C and Class I shares commenced operations on April 3, 2017. Class L shares commenced operations on September 5, 2017. Class F Shares commenced operations on September 25, 2017 and are no longer offered except for reinvestment of dividends. Class A and L shares are offered subject to a maximum sales charge of 5.75% and 4.25%, respectively, of their offering price. Class C and Class I shares are offered at net asset value per share. Class C shares may be subject to a 1.00% contingent deferred sales charge on shares redeemed during the first 365 days after their purchase. Each class represents an interest in the same assets of the Fund and classes are identical except for differences in their sales charge structures and ongoing service and distribution charges. All classes of shares have equal voting privileges except that each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to its service and/or distribution plans. The Fund’s income, expenses (other than class specific service and distribution fees) and realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated proportionately each day based upon the relative net assets of each class. An affiliate of the Adviser owns shares in the Fund representing 2.37% of net asset value.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation – The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in preparation of its consolidated financial statements. These policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The Fund is considered an investment company following accounting and reporting guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946 – Financial Services – Investment Companies. The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Consolidation of GIACF Alternative Holdings, LLC – GIACF Alternative Holdings, LLC, (the “NPL Subsidiary”), a Cayman Islands exempted company and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Fund, was formed on September 18, 2018. The NPL Subsidiary acts as an investment vehicle for the Fund in order to effect certain NPL investments for the Fund. The Fund is the managing and sole member of the NPL Subsidiary pursuant to a limited liability agreement. As a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Fund, the financial statements of the NPL Subsidiary are included in the consolidated financial statements and financial highlights of the Fund. All investments held by the NPL Subsidiary are disclosed in the Consolidated Schedule of Investments. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The NPL Subsidiary has received an undertaking from the Government of the Cayman Islands exempting it from all local income, profits and capital gains taxes. No such taxes are levied in the Cayman Islands at the present time. For U.S. income tax purposes, the NPL Subsidiary is a Controlled Foreign Corporation, which generates and is allocated no income that is considered effectively connected with U.S. trade of business and, as such, is not subject to U.S. income tax. However, as a wholly-owned Controlled Foreign Corporation, the NPL Subsidiary’s net income and capital gain, to the extent of its earnings and profits, will be included each year in the Fund’s investment company taxable income.

Consolidation of CRDTX SPV I, LLC – CRDTX SPV I, LLC, (the “Swap Subsidiary”), a Delaware Limited Liability Company and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Fund, was formed on November 27, 2018. The Swap Subsidiary, on behalf of the Fund, has entered into a series of single-asset total return swaps (the “Swaps”) on individual bank loans (each a “Reference Asset”). The Fund is the managing and sole member of the Swap Subsidiary pursuant to a limited liability agreement. Further, the Fund will remain the sole member and will continue to wholly own and control the Swap Subsidiary. As a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Fund, the financial statements of the Swap Subsidiary are included in the consolidated financial statements and financial highlights of the Fund. The Swaps that the Swap Subsidiary has entered into are disclosed in the Consolidated Schedule of Investments. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The Single-Asset Subsidiaries are generally formed as needed to hold a particular equity investment obtained in private transactions. The financial statements of the Single-Asset Subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements and financial highlights of the Fund. The equity holdings of the Single-Asset Subsidiaries are disclosed in the Consolidated Schedule of Investments. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The Fund will generally consolidate any wholly-owned or controlled subsidiary. For purposes of the Fund’s investment restrictions, guidelines and limitations, the Fund will aggregate direct investments with investment exposure provided by its wholly-owned and controlled subsidiaries.

Security Valuation – In accordance with ASC Topic 820 – Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures, and consistent with the Fund’s Valuation Policy, portfolio securities of the Fund are valued at their current market values determined on the basis of readily available market quotations. Market quotations are obtained from independent pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees (the “Trustees”). Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are typically valued at their quoted daily prices obtained from an independent pricing service. With respect to the Swaps, each Reference Asset is marked daily at its quoted price obtained from an independent pricing service. The collective daily value of each Swap is based on the daily value of the Reference Asset together with accrued income of the Reference Asset and the accrued expenses incurred under the Swap agreement. The aggregate settlement values and notional amounts of the forward foreign currency exchange contracts and Swaps will not be recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Fluctuations in the value of the forward foreign currency exchange contracts, and Swaps will be recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an asset or liability and in the Consolidated Statement of Operations as unrealized appreciation or depreciation until terminated. When a Swap is terminated, the Fund records a realized gain or loss in the Consolidated Statement of Operations equal to the difference between the value of the Swap at the time it was opened and the value of the Swap at the time it was terminated.

If market quotations are not readily available, securities are valued at fair value in good faith pursuant to procedures adopted by the Trustees. The Trustees have delegated the day to day responsibility for determining fair valuation to the Fair Value Pricing Committee in accordance with the Valuation Policy approved by the Trustees. There is no single standard for determining fair value of a security. Rather, in determining the fair value of a security for which there are no readily available market quotations, the Adviser and Sub-Adviser, together with the Fair Value Pricing Committee, may consider several factors as relevant, including but not limited to: (1) evaluation of all relevant factors, including but not limited to, pricing history, current market level, supply and demand of the respective security; (2) comparison to the values, yields, and current pricing of securities that have comparable characteristics; (3) knowledge of current and historical market information with respect to the security; (4) other factors relevant to the security which would include, but not be limited to, duration, yield, fundamental analytical data, including enterprise value of portfolio company, relevant credit market indices, and credit quality. The Adviser and Sub-Adviser may also consider periodic financial statements (audited and unaudited) or other information provided by the issuer. The Fair Value Pricing Committee will give consideration to all factors which might reasonably affect the fair value of an investment. The Fund has retained the services of one or more independent third-party valuation specialists to assist the Fair Value Pricing Committee in determining the fair value of certain securities for which market quotations are not available. The independent third-party valuation specialist provides the Fair Value Pricing Committee with a valuation report that includes a description of the methodology used to measure fair value and the analysis and calculations supporting its conclusion. Fair valuation involves subjective judgments, and it is possible that the fair value determined for a security may differ materially from the value that could be realized upon the sale of the security.

The Adviser will provide the Trustees with periodic reports, no less frequently than quarterly, that discuss the functioning of the valuation process, if applicable to that period, and that identify issues and valuation problems that have arisen, if any. To the extent deemed necessary by the Adviser, the Trustees will review any securities valued by the Adviser and/or the Fair Value Pricing Committee in accordance with the Fund’s Valuation Policy.

Fair Value Measurements – In accordance with ASC Topic 820 – Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures, a three-tier hierarchy has been established to classify fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk. Inputs may be observable or unobservable. Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability that are developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability that are developed based on the best information available. In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosure under GAAP, the Fund discloses fair value of its investments in a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure the fair value, as follows:

48 1.888.926.2688 | www.griffincapital.com

Griffin Institutional Access Credit Fund Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements

December 31, 2019

Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities that the Fund has the ability to access at the measurement date;

Level 2 – Quoted prices which are not active, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or inputs other than quoted prices that are observable (either directly or indirectly) for substantially the full term of the asset or liability at the measurement date; and

Level 3 – Significant unobservable prices or inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) where there is little or no market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date.

The availability of observable inputs can vary from security to security and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of security, whether the security is new and not yet established in the marketplace, the liquidity of markets and other characteristics particular to the security. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3.

An investment level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level input, individually or in the aggregate, that is significant to fair value measurement. The valuation techniques used by the Fund to measure fair value during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 maximized the use of observable inputs and minimized the use of unobservable inputs.

The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities. The following is a summary of the inputs used in valuing the Fund’s investments as of December 31, 2019:

^(a)  A change to the unobservable input may result in a significant change to the value of the investment as follows:

Unobservable Input	Impact to Value if Input Increases	Impact to Value if Input Decreases
Market Yield	Decrease	Increase
EBITDA Multiple	Increase	Decrease
Discount Rate	Decrease	Increase
Broker Quote	Increase	Decrease
Purchase Price	N/A	N/A
Recent Transaction Price	N/A	N/A

^(b)  Investments acquired during the quarter ended December 31, 2019.

The Fund utilized the comparative yield, enterprise value, and discounted cash flow techniques to determine the fair value of certain Level 3 assets as of December 31, 2019. The significant unobservable input used in the comparative yield analysis is yield. The comparative yield valuation technique measures fair value of an investment based upon an assessment of expected market yields of other businesses of similar size in the same industry. The significant unobservable input used in the enterprise value approach is the EBITDA multiple. EBITDA multiples are typically determined based upon review of market comparable transactions and publicly traded comparable companies. The multiple is used to estimate the enterprise value of the underlying investment. The discounted cash flow technique is an analysis whereby future expected cash flows of the investment are discounted to determine a present value using a discount rate.

Generally, new investments not valued by a third-party pricing service are held at purchase price initially until the investment has been held by the Fund for a full quarter. The investment is then generally transitioned to an independent third-party valuation specialist to assist the Fair Value Pricing Committee in determining the application of a valuation methodology at the next valuation date. The Fair Value Pricing Committee will convene if there has been a material change to the underlying company, industry or market between the time of investment and the valuation date.

Securities Transactions, Revenue Recognition and Expenses – The Fund records its investment transactions on a trade date basis. The Fund measures realized gains or losses by the difference between the net proceeds from the repayment or sale and the amortized cost basis of the investment, using the specified identification method. Interest income, adjusted for amortization of premium and accretion of discount, is recorded on an accrual basis. Discount and premium to par value on investments acquired are accreted and amortized, respectively, into interest income over the life of the respective investment using the effective interest method. Loan origination fees, original issue discount and market discount or premium are capitalized and amortized against or accreted into interest income using the effective interest method or straight-line method, as applicable. For the Fund’s investments in revolving bank loans, the cost basis of the investment purchased is adjusted for the cash received for the discount on the total balance committed. The fair value is also adjusted for price appreciation or depreciation on the unfunded portion. Upon prepayment of a loan or debt security, any prepayment premium is recorded as interest income.

Dividend income on preferred equity investments is recorded on an accrual basis to the extent that such amounts are payable by the portfolio company and are expected to be collected. Dividend income on common equity investments is recorded on the record date for private portfolio companies and on the ex-dividend date for publicly traded portfolio companies. Distributions received from a limited liability company or limited partnership investments are evaluated to determine if the distribution should be recorded as dividend income or a return of capital.

Income from securitization vehicles and equity investments in the equity class securities of CLO vehicles (typically income notes or subordinated notes) is recorded daily using the effective interest method in accordance with the provisions of ASC 325-40, Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Assets, based upon a calculation of the effective yield to the expected redemption date based on an estimate of future cash flows, including those CLO equity investments that have not made their inaugural distribution for the relevant period end. The Fund monitors the expected residual payments, and the effective yield is determined and updated quarterly.

Certain investments may have contractual payment-in-kind (“PIK”) interest or dividends. PIK represents accrued interest or accumulated dividends that are added to the loan principal of the investment on the respective interest or dividend payment dates rather than being paid in cash and generally becomes due at maturity or upon being called by the issuer. PIK is recorded as interest or dividend income, as applicable. If at any point the Fund believes PIK is not expected to be realized, the investment generating PIK will be placed on non-accrual status. Accrued PIK interest or dividends are generally reversed through interest or dividend income, respectively, when an investment is placed on non-accrual status.

Expenses are recorded on an accrual basis.

Foreign Currency Translation – The books and records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment valuations and other assets and liabilities initially expressed in foreign currencies are converted each business day into U.S. dollars based upon current exchange rates. Prevailing foreign exchange rates may generally be obtained at the close of the NYSE (normally, 4:00 p.m. EST).

Foreign Securities – The Fund may directly purchase securities of foreign issuers. Investing in securities of foreign issuers involves special risks not typically associated with investing in securities of U.S. issuers. The risks include possible revaluation of currencies, the ability to repatriate funds, less complete financial information about companies and possible future adverse political and economic developments. Moreover, securities of many foreign issuers and their markets may be less liquid and their prices more volatile than those of securities of comparable U.S. issuers.

Cash and Cash Equivalents – The Fund places its cash with one banking institution, which is insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). The FDIC limit is $250,000. At various times throughout the year, the amount on deposit may exceed the FDIC limit and subject the Fund to a credit risk. The Fund does not believe that such deposits are subject to any unusual risk associated with investment activities.

Loan Participation and Assignments – The Fund may invest in direct debt instruments, which are interests in amounts owed to lenders or lending syndicates by corporate, governmental, or other borrowers. The Fund’s investments in loans may be in the form of participations in loans or assignments of all or a portion of the loans from third parties. A loan is often administered by a bank or other financial institution (the “agent”) that acts as agent for all holders. The agent administers the terms of the loan, as specified in the loan agreement. The Fund may invest in multiple series or tranches of a loan, which may have varying terms and carry different associated risks. The Fund generally has no right to enforce compliance with the terms of the loan agreement with the borrower. As a result, the Fund may be subject to the credit risk of both the borrower and the agent that is selling the loan agreement. When the Fund purchases assignments from lenders they acquire direct rights against the borrower of the loan. The Fund may enter into unfunded loan commitments, which are contractual obligations for future funding. Unfunded loan commitments represent a future obligation in full, even though a percentage of the notional loan amounts may not be utilized by the borrower. When investing in a loan participation, the Fund has the right to receive payments of principal, interest and any fees to which it is entitled only from the agent selling the loan agreement and only upon receipt of payments by the agent from the borrower. The Fund may receive a fee based on the undrawn portion of the underlying line of credit of a floating rate loan. In certain circumstances, the Fund may receive a penalty fee upon the prepayment of a floating rate loan by a borrower. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, no penalty fees were received by the Fund. Fees earned or paid are recorded as a component of interest income or interest expense, respectively, on the Consolidated Statement of Operations. At December 31, 2019, the Fund had $5,035,759 at par value in unfunded loan commitments.

Defaulted Securities – The Fund held defaulted securities and/or other securities for which the income has been deemed uncollectible. As of December 31, 2019, the aggregate value of those securities was $499,418 representing 0.13% of the Fund's net assets. The Fund no longer accrues income on securities for which income has been deemed uncollectible. Additionally, the Fund provides for losses on interest of receivable. Such securities have been identified on the accompanying Consolidated Schedule of Investments.

Distributions to Shareholders – The Fund intends to accrue dividends daily and to distribute as of the last business day of each quarter. Distributions of net capital gains are normally accrued and distributed in December. Income and capital gains distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.

Indemnification – The Fund indemnifies its Officers and Trustees for certain liabilities that may arise from the performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties and which provide general indemnities. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. However, based on industry experience, the Fund expects the risk of loss due to these warranties and indemnities to be remote.

Federal Income Taxes – The Fund intends to continue to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and will distribute all of its taxable income, if any, to shareholders. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes is required in the consolidated financial statements.

The Fund recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is “more likely than not” (more than a fifty percent chance) to be sustained assuming examination by tax authorities. Management has reviewed the tax positions and has concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions expected to be taken in the Fund’s 2019 returns.

Commitments and Contingencies – In the normal course of business, the Fund's investment activities involve executions, settlement and financing of various transactions resulting in receivables from, and payables to, brokers, dealers and the Fund's custodian. These activities may expose the Fund to risk in the event that such parties are unable to fulfill contractual obligations. Management does not anticipate any material losses from counterparties with whom it conducts business. Consistent with standard business practice, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnifications, and may be engaged from time to time in various legal actions. The maximum exposure of the Fund under these arrangements and activities is unknown. However, the Fund expects the risk of material loss to be remote.

3. DERIVATIVE TRANSACTIONS

The Fund’s investment objectives allow the Fund to enter into various types of derivative contracts such as total return swaps and forward foreign currency contracts. In doing so, the Fund and its Swap Subsidiary will employ strategies in differing combinations to permit it to increase, decrease, or change the level or types of exposure to market factors. Central to those strategies are features inherent to derivatives that make them more attractive for this purpose than equity or debt securities; they require little or no initial cash investment, they can focus exposure only on certain selected risk factors, and they may not require the ultimate receipt or delivery of the underlying security (or securities) to the contract. This may allow the Fund to pursue its objectives more quickly and efficiently than if it were to make direct purchases or sales of securities capable of effecting a similar response to market factors.

Risk of Investing in Derivatives – The Fund’s use of derivatives can result in losses due to unanticipated changes in the market risk factors and the overall market.

Derivatives may have little or no initial cash investment relative to their market value exposure and therefore can produce significant gains or losses in excess of their cost. This use of embedded leverage allows the Fund to increase its market value exposure relative to its net assets and can substantially increase the volatility of the Fund’s performance.

Additional associated risks from investing in derivatives also exist and potentially could have significant effects on the valuation of the derivative and the Fund. Typically, the associated risks are not the risks that the Fund is attempting to increase or decrease exposure to, per their investment objectives, but are the additional risks from investing in derivatives.

Examples of these associated risks are liquidity risk, which is the risk that the Fund will not be able to sell the derivative in the open market in a timely manner, and counterparty credit risk, which is the risk that the counterparty will not fulfill its obligation to the Fund.

Forward Foreign Currency Contracts – The Fund engaged in currency transactions with counterparties during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 to hedge the value of portfolio securities denominated in particular currencies against fluctuations in relative value or to gain or reduce exposure to certain currencies. A forward foreign currency contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell a currency at a set price on a future date. The contract is marked-to-market daily and the change in value is recorded by the Fund as an unrealized gain or loss. When a forward foreign currency contract is terminated, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value of the contract at the time it was extinguished.

Forward foreign currency contracts involve elements of market risk in excess of the amounts reflected in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The Fund bears the risk of an unfavorable change in the foreign exchange rate underlying the forward foreign currency contract. Risks may also arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of the counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are typically valued at their quoted daily prices obtained from an independent pricing service.

Total Return Swap Contracts – The Fund’s Swap Subsidiary has entered into a series of single-asset total return swaps on individual bank loans with Citibank, N.A. (“Citi”) as the counterparty. The Swaps allow the Fund to indirectly obtain exposure to the Reference Assets, each a bank loan, without owning or taking physical custody of the underlying bank loans. Each Swap is an agreement between the Swap Subsidiary and Citi in which Citi has contractually committed to make payments based on the total return (income plus realized appreciation) of each Reference Asset in exchange for a periodic payment from the Swap Subsidiary based on a floating interest rate and any realized depreciation of each Reference Asset. If the total return of the Reference Asset exceeds or falls short of the offsetting floating interest rate obligation, the Swap Subsidiary receives payment from or makes payment to Citi, respectively. Additionally, the Fund’s Swap Subsidiary posts collateral to cover its potential contractual obligations under the Swaps. Each Swap is marked-to-market daily consistent with the Fund’s Valuation Policy and changes in value are recorded by the Fund as unrealized gain or loss in the consolidated financial statements. When a Swap is terminated, the Fund records a realized gain or loss in the Consolidated Statement of Operations equal to the difference between the value of the Swap at the time it was opened and the value of the Swap at the time it was terminated.

The Swaps effectively add leverage to the Fund’s portfolio by providing investment exposure to underlying bank loans without owning or taking physical custody of such bank loans. In an effort to limit leverage risk, the Fund will earmark assets determined to be liquid to cover its obligations under the Swap agreements. The use of Swaps includes the risks associated with each Reference Asset including the risk that the underlying bank loan defaults. The Fund bears the risk of unfavorable changes in market prices of the underlying Reference Assets. Risk may also arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of the counterparty to meet the terms of its contract.

4. ADVISORY FEES, ADMINISTRATION FEES AND OTHER AGREEMENTS

Investment Advisory

Pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement with the Fund (“Advisory Agreement”), the Adviser is entitled to an investment advisory fee of 1.85% of the average daily net assets of the Fund, computed daily and payable monthly. Sub-advisory services are provided to the Fund pursuant to an agreement among the Fund, Adviser and Sub-Adviser (“Sub-Advisory Agreement”). Under the terms of the investment sub-advisory agreement, the Adviser compensates the Sub-Adviser based on the Fund’s average daily net assets.

The Adviser and the Fund have entered into an expense limitation and reimbursement agreement (the “Expense Limitation Agreement”) under which the Adviser has agreed contractually to waive its fees and to pay or absorb the ordinary annual operating expenses of the Fund (including offering expenses, but excluding taxes, interest, brokerage commissions, acquired fund fees and expenses and extraordinary expenses) at least until November 15, 2020, so that the total annual operating expenses of the Fund do not exceed 2.60% per annum of Class A average daily net assets, 3.35% per annum of Class C average daily net assets, 2.35% per annum of Class I average daily net assets, 2.85% per annum of Class L average daily net assets and 1.85% per annum of Class F average daily net assets (the “Expense Limitations”). The agreement can be extended at the discretion of the Adviser and the Trustees. In consideration of the Adviser’s agreement to limit the Fund’s expenses, the Fund has agreed to repay the Adviser in the amount of any fees waived and Fund expenses paid or absorbed, subject to the limitations that: (1) the reimbursement for fees and expenses will be made only if payable not more than three years from the date such expenses were incurred; and (2) the reimbursement may not be made if it would cause the lesser of the Expense Limitations in place at the time of waiver or at the time of reimbursement to be exceeded. The operating expenses absorbed by the Adviser that limit each share class’ operating expenses to the contractual limitations provided above are recoupable except that fees waived and Fund expenses paid or absorbed with respect to Class F assets will not be repaid or reimbursed.

5. PURCHASES AND SALES OF INVESTMENT SECURITIES

The cost of purchases and proceeds from the sale of securities, other than short-term securities, for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 were as follows:

Purchases of Securities		Proceeds from Sales of Securities
$	341,572,779	$	188,906,523

6. TAX BASIS INFORMATION

Distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which differ from GAAP, and, therefore, may differ significantly in amount or character from net investment income and realized gains for financial reporting purposes. Financial reporting records are adjusted for permanent book/tax differences to reflect tax character but are not adjusted for temporary differences. The amounts and characteristics of tax basis distributions and composition of distributable earnings/(accumulated losses) are finalized at fiscal year-end. Accordingly, tax basis balances have not been determined as of the date of the annual report.

For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, the following reclassifications, which had no impact on results of operations or net assets, were recorded to reflect tax character:

Paid-in Capital			Total Distributable Earnings
$	(727,820	)	$	727,820

The reclassifications were primarily related to excise taxes paid and tax adjustments for wholly-owned subsidiaries.

The tax character of distributions paid for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2019 were as follows:

Year	Ordinary Income		Long-Term Capital Gain		Return of Capital
2019	$	19,472,953	$	–	$	–
2018		8,400,352		–		–

As of December 31, 2019, the components of accumulated earnings/(deficit) on a tax basis were as follows:

Undistributed net investment income		Accumulated net realized loss on investments			Other cumulative effect of timing differences		Net unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) on investments			Total
$	2,313,491	$	(235,915	)	$	267,378	$	(1,231,686	)	$	1,113,268

As of December 31, 2019, net unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) of investments based on the federal tax cost was as follows:

Gross Appreciation (excess of value over tax cost)		Gross Depreciation (excess of tax cost over value)			Net Appreciation/ (Depreciation) of Foreign Currency		Net Unrealized Appreciation/(Depreciation)			Cost of Investments for Income Tax Purposes
$	6,694,416	$	(9,206,615	)	$	1,280,513	$	(1,231,686	)	$	343,227,592

The difference between book basis and tax basis unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) is primarily due to premium amortization, wash sales, forward contracts and passive foreign investment companies.

7. REPURCHASE OFFERS

The Fund is an interval fund and, as such, has adopted a fundamental policy to make quarterly repurchase offers, at net asset value, of no less than 5% of the Fund’s shares outstanding. There is no guarantee that shareholders will be able to sell all of the shares they desire to sell in a quarterly repurchase offer. Liquidity will be provided to shareholders only through the Fund’s quarterly repurchases. Shareholders will be notified in writing of each quarterly repurchase offer and the date on which the repurchase period ends (the “Repurchase Request Deadline”). Fund Shares will be repurchased at a price equal to the net asset value as of the close of business as determined on the Repurchase Request Deadline.

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, the Fund completed four quarterly repurchase offers. In which, the Fund offered to repurchase up to 5% of its outstanding shares as of each respective Repurchase Request Deadline. All shareholder repurchase requests received by the Fund in good order were honored in their full amounts for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019. The result of the aforementioned repurchase offers were as follows:

	Repurchase Offer #1	Repurchase Offer #2	Repurchase Offer #3	Repurchase Offer #4
Commencement Date	December 28, 2018	March 29, 2019	June 27, 2019	September 27, 2019
Repurchase Request Deadline	February 6, 2019	May 7, 2019	August 6, 2019	November 5, 2019
Repurchase Pricing Date	February 6, 2019	May 7, 2019	August 6, 2019	November 5, 2019
Amount Repurchased	$6,054,878	$6,198,776	$7,261,616	$6,395,759
Shares Repurchased	246,033	248,648	293,271	262,426

8. RISK FACTORS

In the normal course of business, the Fund invests in financial instruments and enters into financial transactions where risk of potential loss exists due to such things as changes in the market (market risk) or failure or inability of the other party to a transaction to perform (credit and counterparty risk). See below for a detailed description of select principal risks. The following list is not intended to be a comprehensive listing of all of the potential risks associated with the Fund. For a more comprehensive list of potential risks the Fund may be subject to, please refer to the Fund’s Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information (“SAI”).

Bank Loans Risk The Fund expects that some of its investments will consist of interests in loans originated by banks and other financial institutions. The loans invested in by the Fund may include term loans and revolving loans, may pay interest at a fixed or floating rate and may be senior or subordinated. Purchasers of bank loans are predominantly commercial banks, investment funds and investment banks. As secondary market trading volumes for bank loans increase, new bank loans are frequently adopting standardized documentation to facilitate loan trading which should improve market liquidity. There can be no assurance as to when or even if this current market illiquidity and volatility will abate or that future levels of supply and demand in bank loan trading will provide an adequate degree of liquidity, that the current period of illiquidity will not persist or worsen and that the market will not experience periods of significant illiquidity in the future. In addition, the Fund will make investments in stressed or distressed bank loans which are often less liquid than performing bank loans. The Fund may utilize Swaps for the purpose of gaining exposure to bank loans.

CLO Risk In addition to the general risks associated with debt securities and structured products discussed herein, CLOs carry additional risks, including, but not limited to (i) the possibility that distributions from collateral securities will not be adequate to make interest or other payments; (ii) the quality of the collateral may decline in value or default; (iii) the possibility that the investments in CLOs are subordinate to other classes or tranches thereof; and (iv) the complex structure of the security may not be fully understood at the time of investment and may produce disputes with the issuer or unexpected investment results. CLO equity and junior debt securities that the Fund may acquire are subordinated to more senior tranches of CLO debt. CLO equity and junior debt securities are subject to increased risks of default relative to the holders of superior priority interests in the same securities. In addition, at the time of issuance, CLO equity securities are under-collateralized in that the liabilities of a CLO at inception exceed its total assets. Though not exclusively, the Fund will typically be in a first loss or subordinated position with respect to realized losses on the assets of the CLOs in which it is invested.

December 31, 2019

Between the closing date and the effective date of a CLO, the CLO collateral manager will generally expect to purchase additional collateral obligations for the CLO. During this period, the price and availability of these collateral obligations may be adversely affected by a number of market factors, including price volatility and availability of investments suitable for the CLO, which could hamper the ability of the collateral manager to acquire a portfolio of collateral obligations that will satisfy specified concentration limitations and allow the CLO to reach the initial par amount of collateral prior to the effective date. An inability or delay in reaching the target initial par amount of collateral may adversely affect the timing and amount of interest or principal payments received by the holders of the CLO debt securities and distributions of the CLO on equity securities and could result in early redemptions which may cause CLO debt and equity investors to receive less than face value of their investment.

The failure by a CLO in which the Fund invests to satisfy financial covenants, including with respect to adequate collateralization and/or interest coverage tests, could lead to a reduction in the CLO’s payments to the Fund. In the event that a CLO fails certain tests, holders of CLO senior debt may be entitled to additional payments that would, in turn, reduce the payments the Fund would otherwise be entitled to receive. Separately, the Fund may incur expenses to the extent necessary to seek recovery upon default or to negotiate new terms, which may include the waiver of certain financial covenants, with a defaulting CLO or any other investment the Fund may make. If any of these occur, it could adversely affect the Fund’s operating results and cash flows.

The Fund’s CLO investments are exposed to leveraged credit risk. If certain minimum collateral value ratios and/or interest coverage ratios are not met by a CLO, primarily due to senior secured loan defaults, then cash flow that otherwise would have been available to pay distributions to the Fund on its CLO investments may instead be used to redeem any senior notes or to purchase additional senior secured loans, until the ratios again exceed the minimum required levels or any senior notes are repaid in full. The Fund’s CLO investments and/or the underlying senior secured loans may prepay more quickly than expected, which could have an adverse impact on the Fund’s net assets.

Credit Risk There is a risk that debt issuers will not make payments, resulting in losses to the Fund. In addition, the credit quality of securities may be lowered if an issuer’s financial condition changes. Lower credit quality may lead to greater volatility in the price of a security and in shares of the Fund. Lower credit quality also may affect liquidity and make it difficult to sell the security. Default, or the market’s perception that an issuer is likely to default, could reduce the value and liquidity of securities, thereby reducing the value of your investment in Fund shares. In addition, default may cause the Fund to incur expenses in seeking recovery of principal or interest on its portfolio holdings.

Cybersecurity Risk Cybersecurity refers to the combination of technologies, processes and procedures established to protect information technology systems and data from unauthorized access, attack or damage. The Fund and its affiliates and third-party service providers are subject to cybersecurity risks. Cybersecurity risks have significantly increased in recent years and the Fund could suffer such losses in the future. The Fund’s and its affiliates’ and third-party service providers’ computer systems, software and networks may be vulnerable to unauthorized access, computer viruses or other malicious code and other events that could have a security impact. If one or more of such events occur, this potentially could jeopardize confidential and other information, including nonpublic personal information and sensitive business data, processed and stored in, and transmitted through, computer systems and networks, or otherwise cause interruptions or malfunctions in the Fund’s operations or the operations of their respective affiliates and third-party service providers. This could result in significant losses, reputational damage, litigation, regulatory fines or penalties, or otherwise adversely affect the Fund’s business, financial condition or results of operations. Privacy and information security laws and regulation changes, and compliance with those changes, may result in cost increases due to system changes and the development of new administrative processes. In addition, the Fund may be required to expend significant additional resources to modify the Fund’s protective measures and to investigate and remediate vulnerabilities or other exposures arising from operational and security risks.

Debt Securities Risk When the Fund invests in debt securities, the value of your investment in the Fund will fluctuate with changes in interest rates. Typically, a rise in interest rates causes a decline in the value of debt securities. In general, the market price of debt securities with longer maturities will increase or decrease more in response to changes in interest rates than shorter-term securities. Other risk factors include credit risk (the debtor may default) and prepayment risk (the debtor may pay its obligation early, reducing the amount of interest payments). These risks could affect the value of a particular investment, possibly causing the Fund’s share price and total return to be reduced and fluctuate more than other types of investments.

Direct Origination Risk A portion of the Fund’s investment may be originated by certain affiliates of the Sub-Adviser, subject to the conditions of the Fund’s exemptive relief. The results of the Fund’s operations depend on several factors, including the availability of opportunities for the origination or acquisition of target investments, the level and volatility of interest rates, the availability of adequate short and long-term financing, conditions in the financial markets and economic conditions. Further, the Fund’s inability to raise capital and the risk of portfolio company defaults may materially and adversely affect the Fund’s investment originations, business, liquidity, financial condition, results of operations and its ability to make distributions to its shareholders. In addition, competition for originations of and investments in the Fund’s target investments may lead to the price of such assets increasing, which may further limit its ability to generate desired returns. Also, as a result of this competition, desirable investments in the Fund’s target investments may be limited in the future and the Fund may not be able to take advantage of attractive investment opportunities from time to time, as the Fund can provide no assurance that the Adviser and Sub-Adviser will be able to identify and make investments that are consistent with its investment objective. Additionally, the Fund may originate certain of its investments with the expectation of later syndicating a portion of such investment to third parties. Prior to such syndication, or if such syndication is not successful, the Fund’s exposure to the originated investment may exceed the exposure that the Adviser and Sub-Adviser intended to have over the long-term or would have had had it purchased such investment in the secondary market rather than originating it.

Foreign Exchange Rate Risk Foreign exchange rate risk relates to the change in the U.S. dollar value of a security held that is denominated in a foreign currency. The value of a foreign currency denominated security will decrease as the dollar appreciates against the currency, while the value of the foreign currency denominated security will increase as the dollar depreciates against the currency.

High Yield Debt Risk A substantial portion of the high yield debt in which the Fund intends to invest are rated below investment-grade by one or more nationally recognized statistical rating organizations or are unrated but of comparable credit quality to obligations rated below investment-grade, and have greater credit and liquidity risk than more highly rated debt obligations. Lower-rated securities may include securities that have the lowest rating or are in default. High yield debt is generally unsecured and may be subordinate to other obligations of the obligor. The lower rating of high yield debt reflects a greater possibility that adverse changes in the financial condition of the obligor or in general economic conditions (including, for example, a substantial period of rising interest rates or declining earnings) or both may impair the ability of the obligor to make payment of principal and interest. Many issuers of high yield debt are highly leveraged, and their relatively high debt-to-equity ratios create increased risks that their operations might not generate sufficient cash flow to service their debt obligations. In addition, many issuers of high yield debt may be in poor financial condition, experiencing poor operating results, having substantial capital needs or negative net worth or be facing special competitive or product obsolescence problems, and may include companies involved in bankruptcy or other reorganizations or liquidation proceedings. Certain of these securities may not be publicly traded, and therefore it may be difficult to obtain information as to the true condition of the issuers. Overall declines in the below investment-grade bond and other markets may adversely affect such issuers by inhibiting their ability to refinance their debt at maturity. High yield debt is often less liquid than higher rated securities.

Leveraging Risk The use of leverage, such as in connection with Swaps and borrowing money to purchase securities, by the Fund will magnify the Fund’s gains or losses. Generally, the use of leverage also will cause the Fund to have higher expenses (especially interest and/or short selling related dividend expenses) than those of funds that do not use such techniques. In addition, a lender to the Fund may terminate or refuse to renew any credit facility. If the Fund is unable to access additional credit, it may be forced to sell investments at inopportune times, which may further depress the returns on the Fund. Because many derivatives have a leverage component, adverse changes in the value or level of the underlying asset, reference rate or index could result in a loss substantially greater than the amount invested in the derivative itself. When the Fund uses derivatives for leverage, investments in that Fund will tend to be more volatile, resulting in larger gains or losses in response to market changes. In an effort to limit leverage risk, the Fund will earmark assets determined to be liquid to cover its obligations under swap agreements.

Liquidity of Investments Risk The lack of an established, liquid secondary market for a certain portion of the Fund’s investments may have an adverse effect on the market value of the Fund’s investments and the Fund’s ability to dispose of them. Additionally, certain investments may be subject to certain transfer restrictions that may also contribute to illiquidity. Further, Fund assets that are typically traded in a liquid market may become illiquid if the applicable trading market tightens. Therefore, no assurance can be given that the Fund can dispose of a particular investment at its prevailing fair value. A portion of the Fund’s investments may consist of securities that are subject to restrictions on resale by the Fund because they were acquired in a "private placement" or similar transaction or because the Fund is deemed to be an affiliate of the issuer of such securities. The Fund will be able to sell such securities only under applicable securities laws, which may permit only limited sales under specified conditions or subject the Fund to additional potential liability.

Medium and Small Capitalization Company Risk Some issuers of the Fund’s investments may be medium or small capitalization companies which may be newly formed or have limited product lines, distribution channels, and financial or managerial resources. The risks associated with these investments are generally greater than those associated with investments in the securities of larger, more-established companies. The Fund does not maintain a policy limiting its ability to invest in medium or small capitalization companies. This may cause the Fund’s NAV to be more volatile when compared to investment companies that focus only on large capitalization companies. Generally, securities of medium and small capitalization companies are more likely to experience sharper swings in market values, less liquid markets, in which it may be more difficult for the Sub-Adviser to sell at times and at prices that the Sub-Adviser believes appropriate, and generally are more volatile than those of larger companies. Compared to large companies, smaller companies are more likely to have (i) less information publicly available, (ii) more limited product lines or markets and less mature businesses, (iii) fewer capital resources, (iv) more limited management depth, and (v) shorter operating histories. Further, the equity securities of smaller companies are often traded over-the-counter and generally experience a lower trading volume than is typical for securities that are traded on a national securities exchange. Consequently, the Fund may be required to dispose of these securities over a longer period of time (and potentially at less favorable prices) than would be the case for securities of larger companies, offering greater potential for gains and losses and associated tax consequences.

Mezzanine Securities Risk Most of the Fund’s mezzanine securities and other investments (if any) are expected to be unsecured and made in companies whose capital structures have significant indebtedness ranking ahead of the investments, all or a significant portion of which may be secured. While the securities and other investments may benefit from the same or similar financial and other covenants as those enjoyed by the indebtedness ranking ahead of the investments and may benefit from cross-default provisions and security over the portfolio company’s assets, some or all of such terms may not be part of particular investments. Mezzanine securities and other investments generally are subject to various risks including, without limitation: (i) a subsequent characterization of an investment as a “fraudulent conveyance”; (ii) the recovery as a “preference” of liens perfected or payments made on account of a debt in the 90 days before a bankruptcy filing; (iii) equitable subordination claims by other creditors; (iv) so-called “lender liability” claims by the issuer of the obligations; and (v) environmental liabilities that may arise with respect to collateral securing the obligations.

Non-Performing Loans Risk Fund investments in non-performing and sub-performing loans are expected to involve workout negotiations, restructuring and the possibility of foreclosure. These processes, in some cases, may be lengthy and expensive. In addition, the Fund’s investments may include securities and debt obligations of financially distressed issuers, including companies involved in bankruptcy or other reorganization and liquidation proceedings. As a result, the Fund’s investments may be subject to additional bankruptcy related risks and returns on such investments may not be realized for a considerable period of time.

Secured Debt Risk Secured debt holds the most senior position in the capital structure of a borrower. Secured debt in most circumstances is fully collateralized by assets of the borrower. Thus, it is generally repaid before unsecured bank loans, corporate bonds, subordinated debt, trade creditors, and preferred or common stockholders. Substantial increases in interest rates may cause an increase in loan defaults as borrowers may lack resources to meet higher debt service requirements. The value of the Fund’s assets may also be affected by other uncertainties such as economic developments affecting the market for senior secured term loans or affecting borrowers generally. Moreover, the security for the Fund’s investments in secured debt may not be recognized for a variety of reasons, including the failure to make required filings by lenders, trustees or other responsible parties and, as a result, the Fund may not have priority over other creditors as anticipated.

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

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

Structured Products Risk The Fund may invest in Collateralized Debt Obligations (“CDOs”) and other structured products, consisting of Collateralized Bond Obligations, Collateralized Loan Obligations (“CLOs”) and credit-linked notes. Holders of structured products bear risks of the underlying investments, index or reference obligation and are subject to counterparty risk.

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

Subordinated and Unsecured or Partially Secured Loans Risk The Fund may invest in unsecured loans and secured subordinated loans, including second and lower lien loans. Second lien loans are generally second in line in terms of repayment priority. A second lien loan may have a claim on the same collateral pool as the first lien or it may be secured by a separate set of assets. Second lien loans generally give investors priority over general unsecured creditors in the event of an asset sale. The priority of the collateral claims of third or lower lien loans ranks below holders of second lien loans and so on. Such junior loans are subject to the same general risks inherent to any loan investment, including credit risk, market and liquidity risk, and interest rate risk. Due to their lower place in the borrower’s capital structure and possible unsecured or partially secured status, such loans involve a higher degree of overall risk than senior loans of the same borrower.

December 31, 2019

Swaps Risk The Fund’s use of swaps involves risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities and other traditional investments and exposes the Fund to the risks associated with derivative instruments described above. In a standard “swap” transaction, two parties agree to exchange the returns, differentials in rates of return or some other amount earned or realized on the “notional amount” of predetermined investments or instruments, which may be adjusted for an interest factor. Swaps can involve greater risks than direct investment in securities, because swaps may be leveraged and subject to counterparty risk (e.g., the risk of a counterparty’s defaulting on the obligation or bankruptcy), credit risk and pricing risk (i.e., swaps may be difficult to value). Swaps are also subject to non-correlation risk because they may not be perfect substitutes for the instruments they are intended to hedge or replace. Swaps may also be considered illiquid. It may not be possible for the Fund to liquidate a swap position at an advantageous time or price, which may result in significant losses.

Valuation of Private Investments While the valuation of publicly traded securities held by the Fund are more readily ascertainable, the Fund expects to make investments in loans and securities that are not publicly traded and for which no market based price quotations are available. If market quotations are not readily available, securities are valued at fair value in good faith pursuant to procedures adopted by the Trustees. The Trustees have delegated the day to day responsibility for determining fair valuation to the Fair Value Pricing Committee in accordance with the Valuation Policy approved by the Trustees. Certain of the Fund’s investments will be classified as Level 3 under Topic 820 of the U.S. Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Accounting Standards Codification, as amended, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. This means that the Fund’s portfolio valuations will be based on unobservable inputs and the Fund’s own assumptions about how market participants would price the asset or liability in question. The Fund expects that inputs into the determination of fair value of the Fund’s portfolio investments will require significant management judgment or estimation. The Fund has retained the services of one or more independent third-party valuation specialists to review the valuations of certain of these securities. Because such valuations, and particularly valuations of private securities and private companies, are inherently uncertain, may fluctuate over short periods of time and may be based on estimates, the Fund’s determinations of fair value may differ materially from the values that would have been used if a ready market for these securities existed. The Fund’s net asset value could be adversely affected if the determinations regarding the fair value of the Fund’s investments were materially higher than the values that the Fund ultimately realizes upon the disposal of such securities.

9. ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In March 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2017-08 (“ASU 2017-08”), “Receivables—Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20): Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities.” ASU 2017-08 changed the amortization period for certain callable debt securities held at a premium. Specifically, it required the premium to be amortized to the earliest call date. The Fund has adopted and applied ASU 2017-08 on a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the beginning of the period of adoption. As a result of the adoption of ASU 2017-08, as of November 13, 2019 amortized cost basis of investments was reduced by $41,033 and unrealized appreciation of investments was increased by $41,033. The adoption of ASU 2017-08 had no impact on beginning net assets, the current period results from operations, or any prior period information presented in the financial statements.

10. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Subsequent events after the date of the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities have been evaluated through the date the consolidated financial statements were issued.

The Fund completed a quarterly repurchase offer on February 5, 2020, which resulted in 627,140 Fund shares being repurchased for $15,602,901.

Management has determined that there were no other subsequent events to report through the issuance of these consolidated financial statements.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statement of assets and liabilities, including the consolidated schedule of investments, of Griffin Institutional Access Credit Fund and its subsidiaries (the “Fund”) as of December 31, 2019, the related consolidated statements of operations and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2019, the consolidated statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2019, including the related notes, and the consolidated financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of December 31, 2019, the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2019 and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2019 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Griffin Institutional Access Credit Fund Dividend Reinvestment Policy

December 31, 2019 (Unaudited)

The Fund will operate under a dividend reinvestment policy administered by DST Systems, Inc. (“Transfer Agent”) Pursuant to the policy, the Fund’s income dividends or capital gains or other distributions (each, a “Distribution” and collectively, “Distributions”), net of any applicable U.S. withholding tax, are reinvested in the same class of shares of the Fund.

Shareholders automatically participate in the dividend reinvestment policy, unless and until an election is made to withdraw from the policy on behalf of such participating shareholder. Shareholders who do not wish to have Distributions automatically reinvested should notify the Transfer Agent in writing at Griffin Institutional Access Credit Fund, c/o DST Systems, Inc., 430 W 7th St, Kansas City, MO 64105-1407. Such written notice must be received by the Transfer Agent 30 days prior to the record date of the Distribution or the shareholder will receive such Distribution in shares through the dividend reinvestment policy. Under the dividend reinvestment policy, the Fund’s Distributions to shareholders are reinvested in full and fractional shares as described below.

When the Fund declares a Distribution, the Transfer Agent, on the shareholder’s behalf, will receive additional authorized shares from the Fund either newly issued or repurchased from shareholders by the Fund and held as treasury stock. The number of shares to be received when Distributions are reinvested will be determined by dividing the amount of the Distribution by the Fund’s net asset value per share.

The Transfer Agent will maintain all shareholder accounts and furnish written confirmations of all transactions in the accounts, including information needed by shareholders for personal and tax records. The Transfer Agent will hold shares in the account of the shareholders in non-certificated form in the name of the participant, and each shareholder’s proxy, if any, will include those shares purchased pursuant to the dividend reinvestment policy. Each participant, nevertheless, has the right to request certificates for whole and fractional shares owned. The Fund will issue certificates in its sole discretion. The Transfer Agent will distribute all proxy solicitation materials, if any, to participating shareholders.

In the case of shareholders, such as banks, brokers or nominees, that hold shares for others who are beneficial owners participating under the dividend reinvestment policy, the Transfer Agent will administer the dividend reinvestment policy on the basis of the number of shares certified from time to time by the record shareholder as representing the total amount of shares registered in the shareholder’s name and held for the account of beneficial owners participating under the dividend reinvestment policy.

Neither the Transfer Agent nor the Fund shall have any responsibility or liability beyond the exercise of ordinary care for any action taken or omitted pursuant to the dividend reinvestment policy, nor shall they have any duties, responsibilities or liabilities except such as expressly set forth herein. Neither shall they be liable hereunder for any act done in good faith or for any good faith omissions to act, including, without limitation, failure to terminate a participant’s account prior to receipt of written notice of his or her death or with respect to prices at which shares are purchased or sold for the participants account and the terms on which such purchases and sales are made, subject to applicable provisions of the federal securities laws.

The automatic reinvestment of Dividends will not relieve participants of any federal, state or local income tax that may be payable (or required to be withheld) on such Dividends.

The Fund reserves the right to amend or terminate the dividend reinvestment policy. There is no direct service charge to participants with regard to purchases under the dividend reinvestment policy; however, the Fund reserves the right to amend the dividend reinvestment policy to include a service charge payable by the participants.

All correspondence concerning the dividend reinvestment policy should be directed to the Transfer Agent at Griffin Institutional Access Credit Fund, c/o DST Systems, Inc., 430 W 7th St, Kansas City, MO 64105-1407. Certain transactions can be performed by calling the toll free number 1-888-926-2688.

Item 8. Portfolio Managers of Closed-End Management Investment Companies.

As of the date of this filing, Andrew Carlino, Nate Whittier, Michael Ewald and Alon Avner, each an employee of Bain Capital Credit, serve as the Fund’s portfolio managers (“Portfolio Managers”). Mr. Carlino and Mr. Whittier are primarily responsible for overseeing the day to day investment operations of the Fund. The Fund’s investment sub-adviser, BCSF Advisors, LP (the “Sub-Adviser”), an affiliate of Bain Capital Credit, has entered into a resource sharing agreement with Bain Capital Credit pursuant to which Bain Capital Credit provides the Sub-Adviser with experienced investment professionals and access to the resources of Bain Capital Credit. All references to the Sub-Adviser shall include Bain Capital Credit as applicable.

Andrew Carlino. Mr. Carlino joined Bain Capital Credit in 2002. He is a Managing Director and Portfolio Manager in Liquid Credit. Prior to his current role, Mr. Carlino was responsible for investments in the Airlines, Aerospace & Defense, and Homebuilding & Building Product sectors. Previously, Mr. Carlino was a consultant for The Boston Consulting Group where he worked on engagements in the Healthcare, Software and Retail Banking sectors. He also spent five years in the US Air Force as an intelligence officer. Mr. Carlino received an M.B.A. from The University of Chicago Booth Graduate School of Business and a B.S. from the United States Air Force Academy.

Nate Whittier. Mr. Whittier joined Bain Capital Credit in 2013. He is a Director and Portfolio Manager in Liquid Credit based in Bain Capital Credit’s Boston office. He is also responsible for risk management and portfolio analytics across the firm’s strategies. Previously, Mr. Whittier worked in the Global Portfolio Solutions Group of the Asset Management Division of Goldman Sachs. Mr. Whittier received a B.Sc. in Computer Science and Finance from Northeastern University.

Michael Ewald. Mr. Ewald joined Bain Capital Credit in 1998. He is a Managing Director, Global Head of the Private Credit Group, Portfolio Manager for the Middle Market Credit and Senior Direct Lending strategies and a Credit Committee member. He also serves as President and CEO of Bain Capital Specialty Finance, Inc., a registered business development company. He is based in Bain Capital Credit’s Boston office. Previously, Mr. Ewald was an Associate Consultant at Bain & Company and an analyst at Credit Suisse First Boston in the Regulated Industries group. Mr. Ewald received an M.B.A. from the Amos Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth College and a B.A. from Tufts University.

Alon Avner. Mr. Avner joined Bain Capital Credit in 2006. He has been the Head of Bain Capital Credit Europe since 2009 and is a Managing Director in Distressed and Special Situations and a Credit Committee member based in Bain Capital Credit’s London office. Between 2006 and 2009, Mr. Avner was responsible for Bain Capital Credit’s European Telecom and Media investments. Previously, Mr. Avner was a Manager at Bain & Company. In addition, he worked in operations and marketing roles at Comverse Technology and Creo/Scitex. Mr. Avner received an M.B.A. from INSEAD and a B.Sc. from Tel Aviv University.

Compensation:

Mr. Carlino, Mr. Whittier, Mr. Ewald and Mr. Avner each receive a salary, retirement plan benefits and performance-based bonus from the Sub-Adviser. The performance-based bonus is measured yearly based on an overall assessment of the financial performance of the Sub-Adviser, the team of which a portfolio manager is a member, and the portfolio manager’s performance in managing accounts against the account’s applicable stated benchmark.

Material Conflicts of Interest:

Bain Capital Credit employees, including the Fund’s portfolio managers, serve, or may serve, as officers, directors, members, or principals of entities that operate in the same or a related line of business as the Fund, or of investment funds, accounts, or investment vehicles managed by Bain Capital Credit and/or its affiliates. Similarly, Bain Capital Credit and its affiliates have other clients with similar, different or competing investment objectives. In serving in these multiple capacities, they have obligations to other clients or investors in those entities, the fulfillment of which may not be in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders. For example, Bain Capital Credit has management responsibilities for other investment funds, accounts and investment vehicles (“Sub-Adviser Client Accounts”). The Sub-Adviser may, directly or indirectly, receive fees from Sub-Adviser Client Accounts that are higher than the fee it receives from the Fund, or it may, directly or indirectly, receive a performance-based fees from the Sub-Adviser Client Accounts. In those instances, a portfolio manager may have an incentive favor the Sub-Adviser Client Accounts. The Sub-Adviser has various policies and procedures that it believes are reasonably designed to address these and other conflicts of interest.  

The Fund often invests on a side-by-side basis with one or more Sub-Adviser Client Accounts. In this scenario, the Fund may invest alongside Sub-Adviser Client Accounts in certain circumstances where doing so is consistent with the Fund’s investment strategy as well as exemptive relief and SEC guidance. In an order dated March 22, 2018, the SEC granted exemptive relief to the Fund, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, to co-invest in certain privately negotiated transactions with certain affiliates of Bain Capital Credit (“Co-Investment Program” or the “Order”). With respect to the Co-Investment Program, allocations among the Fund and other affiliated accounts managed by Bain Capital Credit or its affiliates are based on recommended amounts which generally provides that such allocations are made pro rata based on the order size of each participating account. Although the Sub-Adviser attempts to allocate investment opportunities fairly and equitably, co-investments made under the Order are subject to compliance with the conditions and other requirements contained in the Order, which could limit the Fund’s ability to participate in the Co-Investment Program. Furthermore, in situations where co-investment with Sub-Adviser Client Accounts is not permitted or appropriate, such as when there is an opportunity to invest in different securities of the same issuer or where the different investments could be expected to result in a conflict between the Fund’s interests and those of the Sub-Adviser Client Accounts, Bain Capital Credit will need to decide which client will proceed with the investment. Moreover, except in certain limited circumstances as permitted by the 1940 Act, such as when the only term being negotiated is price, the Fund will be unable to invest in any issuer in which an investment fund, account or investment vehicle managed by Bain Capital Credit has previously invested. Similar restrictions limit the Fund’s ability to transact business with its officers or directors or their affiliates. These restrictions will limit the scope of investment opportunities that would otherwise be available. In certain situations where co-investment with one or more participating accounts managed by Bain Capital Credit or its affiliates is not covered by the Co-Investment Program, the Sub-Adviser will make allocation determinations based on the Sub-Adviser’s policies and procedures, which are designed to reasonably ensure that investment opportunities are allocated fairly and equitably.
