Dear Fellow Shareholders,

 

We are pleased to present the semi-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 an emphasis on current income with low volatility and low correlation to the broader markets. As of June 30, 2021, the Fund’s Class I shares (NASDAQ: CRDIX) generated1:

 

Trailing one-year return of 17.56%
Total cumulative return of 27.08% (5.80% annualized) since inception

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.

Investment Performance and Positioning5

 

Griffin Institutional Access Credit Fund delivered strong returns in the first half of 2021 gaining 5.49% (Class I Shares; NASDAQ: CRDIX) through June 30, 2021, outperforming the S&P/LSTA Leveraged Loan Index by 2.21% and ICE BAML US High Yield Index by 1.79%. The Fund also performed well over the trailing 12-month period ending June 30, 2021, during which it generated a total return of 17.56%.

 

Past performance is not indicative of future results. Investment return and the principal value of an investment will fluctuate. Shares may be worth more or less than original cost when redeemed. Performance includes reinvestment of distributions and reflects management fees and other expenses. Due to financial statement adjustments, performance information presented herein for the Fund differs from the Fund’s financial highlights which are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Such differences generally are attributable to valuation adjustments to certain of the Fund’s investments which are reflected in the financial statements. Performance based on 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. The Fund offers multiple different classes of shares. An investment in any share class of the Fund represents an investment in the same assets of the Fund. However, the purchase restrictions, ongoing fees, expenses, and performance for each share class are different. For more information on the differences in share classes, refer to the applicable prospectus, which can be found at www.griffincapital.com.

All segments of the portfolio contributed positively to returns in the first half of 2021. The Fund’s bank loan and high-yield bond allocations outperformed their respective indices, driven primarily by selective B and CCC rated credits which have performed well in the current market environment. From an industry standpoint, the Fund’s exposure to Aerospace & Defense and Media were the top contributors to performance during the period, due in part to active management in the early stages of the pandemic. Benefiting from high income and price improvement, CLO mezzanine debt drove returns within the Fund’s structured credit allocation, providing a boost to overall performance during the period. The Fund’s direct lending portfolio was also accretive to returns during the period, performing in line with expectations and generating enhanced, stable income for the portfolio.

 

From a positioning perspective, we have increased the Fund’s exposure to higher spread structured credit assets and remain focused on potentially increasing the Fund’s direct lending allocation. Within structured credit, we increased the Fund’s CLO mezzanine debt allocation across U.S. and Europe and added exposure to hybrid CLO positions which generally offer attractive income and optionality in a rising rate environment. When compared to a traditional CLO, hybrid CLOs generally have increased flexibility to invest in both bonds and loans, typically utilize less leverage, and maintain fixed-rate liabilities, among other differences. In regard to the Fund’s direct lending portfolio, the Fund recently provided capital to a number of compelling companies across industries in the European market and we continue to diligence a robust pipeline. Lastly, within the Fund’s liquid credit portfolio we favor floating-rate corporate loans and continue to selectively trim exposure to high-yield bonds primarily in the CCC market where we have observed a substantial repricing.

 

Market and Outlook5

 

Alternative credit markets performed well in the first half of 2021. During the period, bank loans and high-yield bonds, as represented by the S&P/LSTA Leveraged Loan Index and ICE BAML US High Yield Index, returned 3.28% and 3.70%, respectively. After trailing for the first five months of 2021, high-yield bonds led bank loans through June 30, 2021, driven largely by receding inflation fears and a drop in interest rates late in the second quarter. From a quality perspective, CCC-rated credits outperformed in the first half of 2021 as some investors took on additional risk in search of yield. CCC loans and bonds have returned 10.51% and 7.25%, respectively, compared to BB loan and bond returns of 1.68% and 2.38%, respectively, year to date through June 30, 2021. Further, default rates continued to decline in the second quarter of 2021, ending June at 1.43% and 1.87% for loans and bonds, respectively. An increase of accessible capital and the wave of refinancing that occurred in the first half of the year have pushed maturity walls out, leading to a decline in default expectations moving forward.

 

We believe the economic backdrop remains favorable for alternative credit and we are observing opportunities across the asset class with the potential to generate excess return and income. While spreads have compressed broadly, we still see room for continued tightening in the near to medium term. Conversely, investment grade fixed income yields are challenged, and interest rate risk (duration) remains elevated. We continue to favor floating-rate exposure as we believe inflation risk and the generally positive economic trend may translate into higher interest rates in the future, though we do not believe this is a near-term risk. As of June 30, 2021, the Fund’s annualized distribution rate of 6.27% was 477 basis points higher than the yield of Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index.6 For these reasons, we believe Griffin Institutional Access Credit Fund may be a compelling asset allocation solution for investors seeking enhanced income with limited duration risk. Overall, we are pleased with the Fund’s performance in 2021 and believe it is well positioned to deliver attractive risk-adjusted returns in the current environment.

 

Past performance is not indicative of future results. Investment return and the principal value of an investment will fluctuate. Shares may be worth more or less than original cost when redeemed.

 

The Fund is a closed-end interval fund. 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. 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. There is no secondary market for the Fund’s shares and none is expected to develop.

ENDNOTES

 

1.Past performance is not indicative of future results. Investment return and the principal value of an investment will fluctuate. Shares may be worth more or less than original cost when redeemed. Fund inception was 4/3/2017. Data source: Morningstar Direct. Performance includes reinvestment of distributions and reflects management fees and other expenses. Due to financial statement adjustments, performance information presented herein for the Fund differs from the Fund’s financial highlights which are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Such differences generally are attributable to valuation adjustments to certain of the Fund’s investments which are reflected in the financial statements. Fund returns and distributions would have been lower had expenses, such as management fees, not been waived during the period. Beta calculation benchmark: Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index. Class I shareholders do not pay a front-end sales charge/load. As of 6/30/2021, the Fund’s Class I shares had an annualized three-year return of 6.26%.
2.Fund distribution rates are not performance and reflect the applicable quarter’s cumulative distribution rate when annualized. Under GAAP, the composition of the Fund’s distribution on June 30, 2021 was estimated to include a de minimis amount of return of capital and should not be confused with yield or income. Historically, Fund distributions have only included income for tax purposes. It is important to note that differences exist between the Fund’s accounting records prepared in accordance with GAAP and record keeping practices required under income tax regulations. Therefore, the characterization of Fund distributions for federal income tax purposes may be different from GAAP characterization estimates. The determination of what portion of each year’s distributions constitutes ordinary income, qualifying dividend income, short or long-term capital gains or return of capital is determined at year-end and reported to shareholders on Form 1099-DIV, which is mailed every year in late January. The Fund does not provide tax advice.
3.Total Investment Exposure is equal to the total of the Fund’s assets, including assets attributable to financial leverage, minus accrued liabilities, other than debt representing financial leverage.
4.Duration is a measure of how sensitive the price of a debt instrument (such as a bond) is to a change in interest rates and is measured in years.
5.Represents the views of Bain Capital Credit and Griffin Capital view at the time of this letter and is subject to change. Data as of June 30, 2021. Source: JPM, unless otherwise noted. Leveraged bank loans represented by the S&P/LSTA Leveraged Loan Index (“LSTA”) and high-yield bonds represented by the ICE BAML US High Yield Index (“BAML”).
6.Yield for Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index is the yield to worst. Data source: Eaton Vance monthly Market Monitor, July 2021. Assets and securities contained within indices are different than the assets and securities contained in Griffin Institutional Access Credit Fund and will therefore have different risk and reward profiles. There are limitations when comparing the Griffin Institutional Access Credit Fund to indices. Many open-end funds which track these indices offer daily liquidity, while closed-end interval funds offer liquidity on a periodic basis. Deteriorating general market conditions will reduce the value of stock securities. Fixed income risks include interest-rate and credit risk, bond values fluctuate in price so the value of your investment can go down depending on market conditions. The Fund’s investment in lower-rated securities involves special risks in addition to the risks associated with investments in investment grade securities, including a high degree of credit risk. Lower-rated securities may be regarded as predominately speculative with respect to the issuer’s continuing ability to meet principal and interest payments. Analysis of the creditworthiness of issuers/issues of lower-rated securities may be more complex than for issuers/issues of higher quality debt securities. There is a risk that issuers will not make payments, resulting in losses to the Fund.
7.Based on the Fund’s total market value exposure to debt securities.
8.The Fund executes its direct lending strategy by investing primarily in middle-market opportunities in which the Fund and Sub-Adviser generally seek to originate and negotiate loans directly to sponsor-backed companies.
9.Excludes Cash and Other Assets.
10.Excludes Cash, Other Assets and Structured Credit. Based on Moody’s 35 Industry Categories (“Moody’s 35”).
11.Firm-level AUM for Bain Capital is estimated and is presented as of December 31, 2020. Bain Capital Credit’s AUM is estimated as of January 1, 2021. Bain Capital Credit’s AUM includes its subsidiaries and credit vehicles managed by its Alternative Investment Fund Managers (AIFM) affiliate.

GLOSSARY (UNAUDITED)

 

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.

 

Basis Point: One basis point is equal to 1/100th of a 1%, or 0.01%.

 

Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index: Measures the performance of the U.S. investment grade bond market.

 

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.

 

Bond Rating: A method of evaluating the quality and safety of a bond. This rating is based on an examination of the issuer’s financial strength and the likelihood that it will be able to meet scheduled repayments. Ratings range from AAA (best) to D (worst). Bonds receiving a rating of BB or below are not considered investment grade because of the relative potential for issuer default.

 

Collateralized Loan Obligation (CLO): A structured credit security backed by a pool of bank loans, structured so there are several classes of bondholders with varying maturities, called tranches. Debt and equity securities of CLOs are sold in tranches where each CLO tranche has a different priority on distributions, unique risk exposures, and yield expectations based on the tranche’s place in the capital structure. Distributions begin with the senior debt tranches (CLO debt) and flow down to the equity tranches (CLO equity).

 

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.

 

Duration: A measure of how sensitive the price of a debt instrument (such as a bond) is to a change in interest rates and is measured in years.

 

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.

 

Middle-Market Direct Lending: A form of lending in which non-bank lenders loan money to mid-sized or middle-market companies. Middle-market companies are typically defined as those with earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) between $10 million and $150 million.

 

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

 

S&P/LSTA Leveraged Loan Index: 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.

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.

 

Past performance is not indicative of future results. Investment return and the principal value of an investment will fluctuate. Shares may be worth more or less than original cost when redeemed. Performance includes reinvestment of distributions and reflects management fees and other expenses. Due to financial statement adjustments, performance information presented herein for the Fund differs from the Fund’s financial highlights which are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. 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, including third-party brokerage commissions or third-party investment advisory fees paid by investors to a financial intermediary for brokerage services. If the deduction of such fees was reflected, the performance would be lower. Returns shown do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. 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. 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. On a purely voluntary basis, the Adviser currently waives Fund expenses in excess of 1.50% 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 (the “Voluntary Waiver”). Previously, the Adviser had borne all of the operating expenses of the Fund and waived its entire management fee or a portion thereof. Without the Voluntary Waiver, expenses would have been higher and Fund returns would have been lower. The Voluntary Waiver is separate and apart from the contractual expense limitation and reimbursement agreement between the Adviser and the Fund that will extend until at least April 30, 2022 and under which the Adviser has contractually agreed to waive its fees and to pay or absorb the ordinary operating expenses of the Fund (including offering expenses, but excluding interest, brokerage commissions, acquired fund fees and expenses and extraordinary expenses), to the extent that such expenses exceed 2.35% for Class I shares.

 

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 use of leverage by the Fund will magnify the Fund’s gains or losses. The Fund is “diversified” under the Investment Company Act of 1940. 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.

 

Investing in lower-rated securities involves special risks in addition to the risks associated with investments in investment grade securities, including a high degree of credit risk. Lower-rated securities may be regarded as predominately speculative with respect to the issuer’s continuing ability to meet principal and interest payments. Analysis of the creditworthiness of issuers/issues of lower-rated securities may be more complex than for issuers/ issues of higher quality debt securities. Securities that are in the lowest rating category are considered to have extremely poor prospects of ever attaining any real investment standing, to have a current identifiable vulnerability to default and/or to be unlikely to have the capacity to pay interest and repay principal. There is a risk that 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. 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 use of leverage by the Fund will magnify the Fund’s gains or losses. 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. Shareholders should not assume that the source of a distribution from the Fund is net profit. Please refer to the Fund’s most recent Section 19(a) notice for an estimate of the composition of the Fund’s most recent distribution, available at www.griffincapital.com, and the Fund’s semi-annual or annual reports filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for additional information regarding the composition of distributions. The Fund’s distributions may be affected by numerous factors, including but not limited to changes in Fund expenses including the amount of expenses waived by the Fund’s Adviser, investment performance, realized and projected market returns, fluctuations in market interest rates, and other factors. Fund distributions would have been lower had expenses, such as management fees, not been waived during the period and the Adviser is under no obligation to continue its voluntary expense waiver for any specified period of time. There is no assurance that the Fund’s distribution rate will be sustainable in the future nor are distributions guaranteed.

 

The Fund is advised by Griffin Capital Credit Advisor, LLC (“GCCA”). 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”).

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. Class F Shares are no longer offered except for reinvestment of dividends at net asset value. 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) (i) at least through April 30, 2022 for Class A, Class C, Class I, and Class L shares, 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, (ii) for Class F shares, for so long as Class F shares are outstanding and the Adviser is the investment adviser to the Fund so that the total annual operating expenses of the Fund do not exceed 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 2.80%, 3.55%, 2.55%, 3.06%, and 2.55% for Class A, Class C, Class I, Class L and Class F, respectively per the Fund’s most recent prospectus dated April 30, 2021. 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. As of May 1, 2021, the Adviser waives Fund expenses in excess of 1.375% on a purely voluntary basis 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 (the “Voluntary Waiver”). Previously, the Adviser had borne all of the operating expenses of the Fund and waived its entire management fee or a portion thereof. Operating expenses absorbed by the Adviser during this voluntary period will be permanently waived. Without the Voluntary Waiver, expenses would have been higher and Fund returns and distributions would have been lower. The Voluntary Waiver is separate and apart from the contractual expense limitation and reimbursement agreement between the Adviser and the Fund that will extend until at least April 30, 2022. 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.

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 diversified, closed-end management investment company. 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 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 investment adviser is Griffin Capital Credit Advisor, LLC (the “Adviser”), and BCSF Advisors, LP (the “Sub-Adviser”), an affiliate of Bain Capital Credit, LP, serves as the Fund’s sub-adviser. Both the Adviser and Sub-Adviser are registered as investment advisers with the SEC pursuant to the provisions of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended. 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, 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.

 

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 1.78% 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 company operating agreement. As a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Fund, the financial results 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.

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 – The Fund’s net asset value per share is calculated, on a class-specific basis, by dividing the value of the Fund’s total assets (the value of the securities the Fund holds plus cash or other assets, including interest accrued but not yet received), less accrued expenses and other liabilities of the Fund by the total number of shares outstanding. During the continuous offering, the price of the shares will increase or decrease on a daily basis according to the net asset value of the shares.

 

Portfolio securities held by the Fund are valued at their current market values determined on the basis of market or dealer quotations from independent pricing services approved by the Board. If market or dealer quotations are not readily available or deemed unreliable, the Board will determine in good faith, the fair value of such securities. For securities that are fair valued in ordinary course of Fund operations, the Board has delegated the day-to-day responsibility for determining fair valuation to the Fair Value Pricing Committee in accordance with the policies approved by the Board. In determining the fair value of a security for which there are no readily available market or dealer quotations, the Adviser and Sub-Adviser, together with the Fair Value Pricing Committee, will take into account all reasonably available information that may be relevant to a particular security including, but not limited to: pricing history, current market level, supply and demand of the respective security; the enterprise value of the portfolio company; the portfolio company’s ability to make payments and its earnings and discounted cash flow, comparison to the values and current pricing of publicly traded securities that have comparable characteristics; comparison to publicly traded securities including factors such as yield, maturity, and credit quality; knowledge of historical market information with respect to the security; fundamental analytical data, such as periodic financial statements, and other factors or information relevant to the security, issuer, or market. The Fund has also retained the services of third-party valuation firms to review valuations of certain securities for which market or dealer quotations are unavailable or deemed unreliable and to assist in determining fair value where applicable, however, the ultimate determination of fair value will be made by the Board and not by such third-party valuation firm. 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.

 

Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are typically valued at their quoted daily prices obtained from an independent pricing service. The aggregate settlement values and notional amounts of the forward foreign currency exchange contracts will not be recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. However, fluctuations in the value of the forward foreign currency exchange contracts 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.

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:

 

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 six months ended June 30, 2021 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 June 30, 2021:

 

Investments in Securities at Value  Level 1 - Quoted Prices   Level 2 - Other Significant Observable Inputs   Level 3 - Significant Unobservable Inputs   Total

(c)Investments acquired during the quarter ended June 30, 2021.

 

The Fund used valuation techniques consistent with the income approach and market approach to determine the fair value of certain Level 3 assets as of June 30, 2021. The valuation techniques utilized by the Fund included enterprise value analysis, discounted cash flows analysis, yield analysis, and recovery analysis. The enterprise value analysis measures fair value of a portfolio company based upon an assessment of multiples such as EBITDA or revenue that are typically determined through review of market comparable transactions and publicly traded comparable companies. Such multiples are subsequently applied to the underlying portfolio company financial multiple, generally EBITDA or revenue, to estimate enterprise value. Total enterprise value is first allocated to the debt holders and then allocated across the capital structure reflecting applicable rights and preferences of the remaining equity securities to determine fair value of certain of the Fund’s equity interests. The significant unobservable input used in the enterprise value analysis is generally the EBITDA or revenue multiple. The Fund also utilized the discounted cash flows analysis to measure fair value of certain of the Fund’s equity and debt investments. The discounted cash flows analysis is a technique whereby future expected cash flows of the underlying investment are discounted to determine a present value using a discount rate. The significant unobservable input used in the discounted cash flows analysis is the discount rate. The yield analysis 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 which are used to establish a discount rate. Future cash flows are then discounted back to present value using the discount rate to determine fair value of certain of the Fund’s debt investments. The significant unobservable input used in the yield analysis is yield. The recovery analysis is utilized when there is insufficient enterprise value coverage for the portfolio company’s debt. The recovery analysis measures fair value of a debt investment by adding the portfolio company’s cash to its enterprise value to determine distributable value available to debt holders. Remaining proceeds available for each tranche of debt, based on priority, are then divided by the par of the debt. The significant unobservable input used in the recovery analysis is typically the EBITDA multiple or recovery 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 Fair Value Pricing Committee subsequently determines the application of a fair value methodology at the next valuation date. The Fair Value Pricing Committee will convene if there has been a material change to the applicable portfolio company between the time of investment and the next valuation date.

The carrying and fair value of the Fund's debt obligation as of June 30, 2021 for which the Fund has determined would be categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy was $125,345,325.

 

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 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 six months ended June 30, 2021, 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 June 30, 2021, the Fund had $12,737,631 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 June 30, 2021, the aggregate value of those securities was $2,398,000 representing 0.46% of the Fund's net assets. The Fund doesn't accrue 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 2020 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 forward foreign currency contracts. 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.

 

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 six months ended June 30, 2021 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.

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"). The Adviser has agreed to pay the Sub-Adviser as compensation under the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement a quarterly fee computed at the annual rate of the daily net assets as set forth below. The Sub-Adviser is compensated by the Adviser out of advisory fees paid by the Fund to the Adviser; the Fund does not compensate the Sub-Adviser.

 

Annual Sub-Advisory Fee Rate as a Percentage of Average Daily Net Assets  
$0 to $250M 0.75%
$250M to $500M 0.65%
$500M to $1B 0.60%
Over $1B 0.55%

 

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 April 30, 2022, 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.

In addition to the Expense Limitation Agreement described above, the Adviser voluntarily waived or absorbed all of the operating expenses of the Fund from the commencement of Fund operations until August 25, 2019. Operating expenses voluntarily waived or absorbed by the Adviser during the aforementioned period are not subject to recoupment by the Adviser.

Each “non-interested” Trustee receives an annual retainer of $40,000, paid quarterly, as well as reimbursement for any reasonable expenses incurred attending meetings and $500 per each special telephonic meeting (exclusive of one special telephonic meeting per year). The Chair of the Fund’s Audit Committee receives an additional $15,000 annually. None of the executive officers, with the exception of the Chief Compliance Officer, receive compensation from the Fund.

 

Certain Trustees and officers of the Fund are also officers of the Adviser and, with the exception of the Chief Compliance Officer, are not paid by the Fund for serving in such capacities.

 

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 six months ended June 30, 2021 were as follows:

 

   Purchases of Securities   Proceeds from Sales of Securities 
  $500,456,842   $284,601,076 

 

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 semi-annual report.

 

The tax character of distributions paid for the fiscal year ended and December 31, 2020 was as follows:

 

Year   Ordinary Income   Long-Term Capital Gain   Return of Capital 
 2020   $25,831,436   $   $ 

 

As of June 30, 2021, 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 Unrealized Appreciation/(Depreciation)   Cost of Investments for Income Tax Purposes 
$20,354,277   $(6,524,455)  $13,829,822   $622,089,768 

 

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. CREDIT FACILITY

 

The Fund and the Fund's consolidated subsidiary, CRDTX SPV I, LLC, are party to a secured revolving credit facility with Citibank, N.A. ("Citi Credit Facility") subject to the limitations of the 1940 Act for borrowings. The Citi Credit Facility allows the Financing Subsidiary to borrow up to $150 million and is secured by all of the assets held by the Financing Subsidiary.

 

Amounts available to borrow under the Citi Credit Facility are subject to a borrowing base that applies different advance rates to different types of assets held by the Financing Subsidiary. Assets securing the Citi Credit Facility held by the Financing Subsidiary are subject to initial and ongoing eligibility criteria including restrictions on asset types and domicile, credit rating minimums, payment frequency and rate requirements, and collateral and maturity terms, among other criteria. The Fund and the Financing Subsidiary are also required to comply with various covenants, reporting requirements and other customary requirements. As of June 30, 2021, the Fund and the Financing Subsidiary were in compliance in all material respects with the terms of the Citi Credit Facility.

8. REPURCHASE OFFERS

 

As a continuously offered, closed-end interval fund, the Fund has adopted a fundamental policy in which it offers to repurchase at net asset value no less than 5% of the outstanding shares of the Fund once each quarter. It is possible that a repurchase offer may be oversubscribed and as such there is no guarantee that shareholders will be able to sell all of the shares they desire to sell in a quarterly repurchase offer, although each shareholder will have the right to require the Fund to purchase at least 5% of such shareholder’s shares in each quarterly repurchase. Liquidity will be provided to shareholders only through the Fund’s quarterly repurchase offers. Shareholders will receive written notice of each quarterly repurchase offer ("Repurchase Offer Notice") that includes the date the repurchase offer period ends ("Repurchase Request Deadline") and the date the repurchase price will be determined ("Repurchase Pricing Date"). Shares will be repurchased at the NAV per share determined on the Repurchase Pricing Date.

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Fund completed two 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 six months ended June 30, 2021.The result of the aforementioned repurchase offers were as follows:

 

  Repurchase Offer #1 Repurchase Offer #2
Commencement Date December 29, 2020 March 29, 2021
Repurchase Request Deadline February 9, 2021 May 6, 2021
Repurchase Pricing Date February 9, 2021 May 6, 2021
Dollars Repurchased $32,352,377 $17,334,484
Shares Repurchased 1,330,826 709,553

 

9. PRINCIPAL 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 total return 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.

 

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 derivatives 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.

 

LIBOR Risk Holdings of certain of the Fund’s underlying investments may be based on floating rates, such as LIBOR. The London Interbank Offered Rate, or LIBOR, is a benchmark that dictates daily interest rates on loans and financial instruments globally. Plans are underway to phase out the use of LIBOR which indicates the continuation of LIBOR and other reference rates on the current basis cannot and will not be guaranteed after 2021. Any replacement rate chosen may be less favorable than the current rates. Until the announcement of the replacement rate, the Fund may continue to invest in assets that may reference LIBOR or otherwise use LIBOR. There remains uncertainty regarding the nature of any replacement rate and the impact of the transition from LIBOR on the Fund’s transactions and the financial markets generally. As such, the potential effect of a transition away from LIBOR on the Fund’s investments cannot yet be determined.

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 The Fund’s investments are expected to include investments in non-performing and sub-performing loans which often involve workout negotiations, restructuring and the possibility of foreclosure. These processes are often 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.

 

Pandemic Risk An outbreak of infectious respiratory illness caused by a novel coronavirus known as COVID-19 was first detected in December 2019 and has now been detected globally. COVID-19 has resulted in travel restrictions, closed international borders, enhanced health screenings at ports of entry and elsewhere, disruption of and delays in healthcare service preparation and delivery, prolonged quarantines, cancellations, supply chain disruptions, and lower consumer demand, as well as general concern and uncertainty. The impact of COVID-19, and other infectious illness outbreaks that may arise in the future, could adversely affect the economies of many countries or the entire global economy, individual issuers and capital markets in ways that cannot necessarily be foreseen. In addition, the impact of infectious illnesses in emerging market countries may be greater due to generally less established healthcare systems. Public health crises caused by the COVID-19 outbreak, or other infectious diseases, may exacerbate other pre-existing political, social and economic risks in certain countries or globally. As such, issuers of debt securities with properties, operations, productions, offices, and/or personnel in (or other exposure to) areas affected by diseases outbreaks may experience significant disruptions to their business and/or holdings. The potential impact on the credit markets may include market illiquidity, defaults and bankruptcies, among other consequences, particularly on issuers in the airline, travel and leisure and retail sectors. The extent to which COVID-19 or other infectious diseases will affect the Fund, the Fund’s service providers and/or such issuer’s operations and results will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information that may emerge concerning the severity of COVID-19 and the actions taken to contain COVID-19. The duration of the COVID-19 outbreak cannot be determined with certainty.

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.

 

Unitranche Debt Risk Unitranche debt will be structured as senior secured debt, including first priority liens on an issuer's assets. Unitranche debt typically provides for moderate loan amortization in the initial years of the facility, with the majority of the principal payment deferred until loan maturity. Since unitranche debt generally allows the borrower to make a large lump sum payment of principal at the end of the loan term, there is a risk of loss if the borrower is unable to pay the lump sum or refinance the amount owed at maturity. In some cases, the Fund will be the sole lender, or the Fund together with its affiliates will be the sole lender, of unitranche debt, which can provide the Fund with more influence interacting with a borrower in terms of monitoring and, if necessary, remediation in the event of underperformance.

Notes to Consolidated

Financial Statements

Valuation of Private Investments Risk While the valuation of the Fund’s publicly-traded securities are more readily ascertainable, the Fund’s ownership interest in private investments (including Private Corporate Debt Investments) are not publicly traded. The fair value of loans, securities and other investments that are not publicly traded may not be readily determinable, and the Fund will value these investments at fair value as determined in good faith by the Board, including to reflect significant events affecting the value of the Fund’s investments. Many of the Fund’s investments, including certain Private Corporate Debt 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 (“ASC Topic 820”). 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. Even if observable market data are available, such information may be the result of consensus pricing information or broker quotes, which include a disclaimer that the broker would not be held to such a price in an actual transaction. The non-binding nature of consensus pricing and/or quotes accompanied by disclaimers materially reduces the reliability of such information. In connection with fair value determinations, the Adviser and Sub-Adviser, together with the Fair Value Pricing Committee, may provide the Board with valuations based upon certain inputs that take into account all reasonably available information that may be relevant to a particular security including, but not limited to: pricing history, current market level, supply and demand of the respective security; the enterprise value of the portfolio company; the portfolio company’s ability to make payments and its earnings and discounted cash flow, comparison to the values and current pricing of publicly traded securities that have comparable characteristics; comparison to publicly traded securities including factors such as yield, maturity, and credit quality; knowledge of historical market information with respect to the security; fundamental analytical data, such as periodic financial statements, and other factors or information relevant to the security, issuer, or market. The Fund has also retained the services of third-party valuation firms to review valuations of certain securities for which market or dealer quotations are unavailable or deemed unreliable and to assist in determining fair value where applicable, however, the ultimate determination of fair value will be made by the Board and not by such third-party valuation firm. 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 Board’s determinations regarding the fair value of the Fund’s investments were materially higher than the values that the Fund ultimately realizes upon the disposal of such securities.

 

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 August 5, 2021, which resulted in 593,241 Fund shares being repurchased for $14,534,612. All shareholder repurchase requests received by the Fund in good order were honored in their full amounts.

 

Effective August 16, 2021, the Adviser voluntarily waives Fund expenses in excess of 1.50% 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. Previously, the Adviser had borne all of the operating expenses of the Fund and waived its entire management fee or a portion thereof.

 

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

Griffin Institutional Access Credit Fund Dividend Reinvestment Policy
  June 30, 2021 (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.

Griffin Institutional Access Credit Fund

Approval of Investment Advisor

and Sub-Advisor Agreements

  June 30, 2021 (Unaudited)

 

Trustees Consideration and Approval of Continuation of Advisory Agreement with Griffin Capital Credit Advisor, LLC

 

Griffin Capital Credit Advisor, LLC (the “Adviser”) supervises the investments of the Fund pursuant to an Investment Advisory Agreement. At a meeting of the Fund’s Board of Trustees on March 9, 2021 the Trustees approved the continuation of the Investment Advisory Agreement for a one-year term. In considering whether to approve the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Trustees reviewed and considered the information they deemed reasonably necessary, including the following material factors: (i) the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided by the Adviser; (ii) the investment performance of the Fund; (iii) the costs of the services provided by the Adviser; (iv) the profits to be realized by the Adviser and its affiliates from the relationship with the Fund; (v) the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Fund grows and whether advisory fee levels reflect those economies of scale for the benefit of the Fund’s investors.

 

At the meeting, the Trustees reviewed various informational materials, including the Investment Advisory Agreement for the Fund and a memorandum from the Adviser to the Trustees containing information about the advisory firm and its business. The memorandum provided information about the Adviser’s finances, personnel, services to the Fund, investment advice, fees, and compliance program. It also contained information on Fund expenses, including comparative expense ratio information for other investment companies with strategies similar to the Fund. The Trustees also reviewed a memorandum from the Fund’s legal counsel that summarized the fiduciary duties and responsibilities of the Board of Trustees in reviewing and approving the Investment Advisory Agreement, including the types of information and factors that should be considered in order to make an informed decision. The Independent Trustees were assisted by counsel throughout the Management Agreement review process. The Board relied upon the advice of counsel and their own business judgment in determining the material factors to be considered in evaluating the Management Agreement and the weight to be given to each factor considered. The conclusions reached by the Trustees were based on a comprehensive evaluation of all of the information provided and were not the result of any one factor. Moreover, each Trustee may have afforded different weight to the various factors in reaching his conclusions with respect to the approval of the Management Agreement.

 

(i) The nature, extent, and quality of the services provided by the Adviser. The Trustees evaluated the Adviser’s staffing, personnel, and methods of operating; the education and experience of the Adviser’s personnel; the Adviser’s compliance programs, policies, and procedures; the financial condition of the Adviser; and the level of commitment to the Fund and the Adviser by the principals of the Adviser. The Trustees considered the responsibilities of the Adviser under the Management Agreement and reviewed the services provided to the Fund, including, without limitation, the Adviser’s procedures for implementing the Fund’s strategy and assuring compliance with the Fund’s investment objectives and limitations, coordination of services for the Fund among the Fund’s service providers, expertise and experience. The Trustees noted that the Adviser seeks to achieve the Fund’s investment objective 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, 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, and other fixed-income and fixed-income related securities. The Trustees reviewed the balance sheet of the Adviser and discussed the financial stability and profitability of the firm. The Trustees noted that the Fund’s principal officers are personnel of the Adviser, and its affiliates serve the Fund without additional compensation. The Board noted that the depth of experience of the personnel of the Adviser. After reviewing the foregoing information and other information in the Adviser’s Memorandum (e.g., the Adviser’s Form ADV and descriptions of the Adviser’s business and compliance program), the Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided by the Adviser to the Fund were satisfactory.

 

(ii) The investment performance of the Fund and the Adviser. The Trustees noted the Fund’s positive performance since its inception. The Board acknowledged that the Fund overperformed both the S&P/LSTA Leveraged Loan Index and the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index for the since inception through January 31, 2021 period. The Board also noted that the Fund underperformed certain of the funds in its peer group for the since inception through January 31, 2021 period. In addition, the Board noted that the Fund had provided better risk-adjusted returns than the S&P/LSTA Leveraged Loan Index and the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, as well as many of the funds in the peer group, since inception. After reviewing the Fund’s performance and other factors, the Board concluded that it was satisfied with the performance of the Fund.

 

(iii) The costs of the services to be provided by the Adviser. The Trustees evaluated the current and projected asset levels of the Fund; and the overall expenses of the Fund, including the nature and frequency of advisory fee payments.

 

The Trustees then compared the fees and expenses of the Fund (including the management fee) to other peer funds comparable in terms of the type of fund, the nature of its investment strategy, and its style of investment management, among other factors. The Trustees determined that the base management fee was higher than other funds, but noted that other funds had externalized certain services that the Adviser provided as part of its management fee, and agreed that it was important to consider the entire expense ratio in the comparison. In that regard, they noted that the net expense ratio was below the average of the peer group. The Trustees noted that some funds in the peer group also charged a performance fee in addition to their management fee, which would likely make the aggregate fee paid to the investment adviser higher than that paid by the Fund in certain circumstances. The Board considered that certain other peer funds also utilized less laborious strategies.

Griffin Institutional Access Credit Fund

Approval of Investment Advisor

and Sub-Advisor Agreements

  June 30, 2021 (Unaudited)

 

The Trustees noted that the Adviser had agreed to an Expense Limitation Agreement, which was still in effect, that limits the Fund’s annual operating expenses. They further noted that Fund expenses have continued to exceed the limitation amount and, thus, the Adviser has continued to waive some of its management fee. The Trustees also considered potential benefits for the Adviser in managing the Fund. Further, the Trustees noted that, to date, the Adviser had absorbed most of the Fund’s operating expenses, the majority of which could not be recouped.

 

Following further consideration and discussion of the foregoing, the Board concluded that the fee paid to the Adviser by the Fund was fair and reasonable in relation to the nature and quality of the services provided by the Adviser and that they reflected charges that were within a range of what could have been negotiated at arm’s length.

 

(iv) The profits to be realized by the Adviser and its affiliates from the relationship with the Fund. The Trustees reviewed the Adviser’s profitability analysis in connection with its management of the Fund, and noted that the Adviser had not earned a profit and had paid most of the Fund’s operating expenses. The Board concluded that the Adviser’s profitability was not excessive.

 

(v) The extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Fund grows and whether advisory fee levels reflect those economies of scale for the benefit of the Fund’s investors. The Trustees considered that the Fund’s fee arrangement with the Adviser involved both the management fee and an Expense Limitation Agreement. The Trustees noted that, while the management fee remains the same at all asset levels, the Fund’s shareholders continue to benefit from the Fund’s expense limitation arrangement until the Fund’s assets grew to a level where the Fund’s expenses fell below the cap set by the arrangement and the Adviser begins receiving its full fee. The Trustees also noted that the Fund’s shareholders would benefit from economies of scale under the Fund’s agreements with service providers other than the Adviser. Following further discussion of the Fund’s current and projected asset levels, expectations for growth, and fee levels, the Board determined that the Fund’s fee arrangements were fair and reasonable in relation to the nature and quality of the services provided by the Adviser and that the Expense Limitation Agreement has provided savings for the benefit of the Fund’s investors.

 

Based upon all of the foregoing considerations, the Board of Trustees, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, approved the continuation of the Investment Advisory Agreement for the Fund.

 

Trustees Consideration and Approval of Continuation of Sub-Advisory Agreement with BCSF Advisors, LP.

 

BCSF Advisors, LP (“BCSF”) provides ongoing research, opinions and recommendations regarding the Fund’s investment portfolio pursuant to an Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement. BCSF is an affiliate of Bain Capital Credit, LP. At a meeting of the Fund’s Board of Trustees on March 9, 2021, the Trustees approved the continuation of the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement for a one-year term. In considering whether to approve the Investment Sub- Advisory Agreement, the Trustees reviewed and considered the information they deemed reasonably necessary, including the following material factors: (i) the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided by BCSF; (ii) the investment performance of the Fund and BCSF; (iii) the costs of the services provided by BCSF; (iv) the profits to be realized by BCSF and its affiliates from the relationship with the Fund; (v) the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Fund grows and whether the advisory fee levels reflect these economies of scale for benefit of the Fund’s investors. In deciding on whether to approve the renewal of the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Trustees considered numerous factors, including:

 

(i) The nature, extent, and quality of the services provided by BCSF. The Trustees evaluated BCSF’s staffing, personnel, and methods of operating; the education and experience of BCSF’s personnel; BCSF’s compliance program, policies, and procedures; the financial condition of BCSF; and the level of commitment to the Fund and BCSF by the principals of BCSF. The Trustees discussed the financial stability of the firm. The Trustees considered the responsibilities of BCSF under the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement and reviewed the services provided to the Fund including, without limitation, BCSF’s procedures for implementing the Fund’s strategy and assuring compliance with the Fund’s investment objectives and limitations, subject to the oversight of the Adviser. The Trustees noted that BCSF supports the Adviser in seeking to achieve the Fund’s investment objective 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, 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, and other fixed-income and fixed-income related securities. The Board also noted that BCSF provided services to the Fund’s special purpose vehicles to invest in NPLs and participate in a total return swap. After reviewing the foregoing information and further information in the Sub-Adviser’s Memorandum (e.g., BCSF’s Form ADV and descriptions of BCSF’s business and compliance program), the Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided by BCSF were satisfactory.

(ii) The investment performance of the Fund and BCSF. The Trustees discussed the performance of the Fund. The Trustees noted the Fund’s continued positive performance in the period since inception and recalled their deliberations relating to the Adviser. The Board noted that Adviser continued to be satisfied with BCSF’s performance and the data provided. After reviewing these considerations, the Board concluded that the investment performance of BCSF was satisfactory.

 

(iii) The costs of the services to be provided by BCSF. The Trustees evaluated the overall expenses of the Fund, including the nature and frequency of advisory and sub-advisory fee payments. The Trustees also considered potential benefits for BCSF in managing the Fund. The Trustees noted that the Adviser paid the fee to BCSF out of its management fee, agreeing that, accordingly, the Fund’s overall management fee and expenses was the appropriate vehicle to compare to other funds. The Board recalled their deliberations relating to the Adviser’s cost of services. The Trustees also considered the sub-advisory fee being charged to the Fund compared to other accounts managed by BCSF that had substantially similar strategies noting that the fee charged to the Fund was lower in some cases than that charged to the other accounts and higher in other cases. The Trustees determined that the differences in the structure and regulatory requirements between the Fund and the other accounts made any differences in the fees charged by BCSF reasonable. Following further consideration and discussion of the foregoing, the Board concluded that the fees to be paid to BCSF by the Fund were fair and reasonable in relation to the nature and quality of the services provided by BCSF and that they reflected charges that were within a range of what could have been negotiated at arm’s length.

 

(iv) The profits to be realized by BCSF and its affiliates from the relationship with the Fund. The Trustees reviewed BCSF’s profitability analysis in connection with its management of the Fund, and noted that the profit earned by BCSF from its relationship with the Fund was not unreasonable. The Board concluded that BCSF’s profitability was not excessive.

 

(v) The extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Fund grows and whether the advisory fee levels reflect these economies of scale for benefit of the Fund’s investors. The Trustees considered that the Fund’s fee arrangements with BCSF and noted that the sub-advisory fee contained break points, which caused the Adviser to pay lower fees to BCSF based on higher asset levels. Following further discussion of the Fund’s current and projected asset levels, expectations for growth, and levels of fees, the Board determined that the Fund’s fee arrangements were fair and reasonable in relation to the nature and quality of the services provided by BCSF.

 

Based upon all of the foregoing considerations, the Board of Trustees, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, approved the continuation of the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement with BCSF.
