NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2025 (Unaudited)
Note 1 — Organization
First Trust Enhanced Private Credit Fund (the “Fund”) is a Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), as a non-diversified, closed-end management investment company. The Fund operates under an Agreement and Declaration of Trust dated April 10, 2024 (the “Declaration of Trust”). First Trust Capital Management L.P. (the “Investment Adviser”) serves as the investment adviser to the Fund. The Investment Adviser is an investment adviser registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended. The Fund intends to elect to be treated as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).
The Fund’s investment objective is to achieve total return through income and capital appreciation. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing across the full spectrum of structured and private credit, in which the focus of the Fund will be to offer exposure to both bank syndicated and non-bank originated debt instruments. Under normal market conditions, the Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by allocating at least 80% of its net assets, plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes, to a portfolio of private credit instruments.
The Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 946, Financial Services — Investment Companies.
(a) Consolidation of Subsidiary
The Fund may make investments through its subsidiary, FTEPCF Cayman Sub1 Ltd., a wholly-owned and controlled subsidiary formed under the laws of the Cayman Islands. The Consolidated Schedule of Investments, Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities, Consolidated Statement of Operations, Consolidated Statement of Changes in Net Assets, Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows and Consolidated Financial Highlights of the Fund include the accounts of FTEPCF Cayman Sub1 Ltd. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. FTEPCF Cayman Sub1 Ltd. is advised by the Investment Adviser and acts as an investment vehicle in order to effect certain investments consistent with the Fund’s investment objectives and policies specified in the Fund’s prospectus and statement of additional information. As of September 30, 2025, the net assets of FTEPCF Cayman Sub1 Ltd. were $22,449,162, representing 30.99% of the Fund’s consolidated total net assets.
FTEPCF Cayman Sub1 Ltd. is an exempted company incorporated in the Cayman Islands with limited liability. It 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. The subsidiary has elected to be disregarded as an entity separate from the Fund for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
Note 2 — Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its Consolidated Financial Statements. The preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the Consolidated Financial Statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
(a) Valuation of Investments
UMB Fund Services, Inc. (“UMBFS”), the Fund’s administrator, calculates the Fund’s net asset value (“NAV”) as of the close of business on the last day of each month and at such other times as the
14

First Trust Enhanced Private Credit Fund
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — Continued
September 30, 2025 (Unaudited)
Fund’s Board of Trustees (the “Board,” and the members thereof, the “Trustees”) may determine, including in connection with repurchases of Fund shares (“Shares”), in accordance with the procedures described below or as may be determined from time to time in accordance with policies established by the Board (each, a “Determination Date”).
For purposes of calculating NAV, portfolio securities and other assets for which market quotations are readily available are valued at market value. A market quotation is readily available only when that quotation is a quoted price (unadjusted) in active markets for identical investments that the Fund can access at the measurement date, provided that a quotation will not be readily available if it is not reliable.
Investments for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the Investment Company Act. As a general principle, the fair value of a security or other asset is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Pursuant to Rule 2a-5, the Board has designated the Investment Adviser as the valuation designee (in such capacity, the “Valuation Designee”) for the Fund to perform in good faith the fair value determination relating to all Fund investments, under the Board’s oversight. The Investment Adviser carries out its designated responsibilities as Valuation Designee through its Valuation Committee. The fair values of one or more assets may not be the prices at which those assets are ultimately sold and the differences may be significant.
The Valuation Designee may value Fund portfolio securities for which market quotations are not readily available and other Fund assets by utilizing inputs from pricing services, quotation reporting systems, valuation agents and other third-party sources.
Securities traded on one or more of the U.S. national securities exchanges, the Nasdaq Stock Market or any foreign stock exchange will be valued at the last sale price or the official closing price on the exchange or system where such securities are principally traded for the business day as of the relevant Determination Date. If no sale or official closing price of particular securities is reported on a particular day, the securities will be valued at the closing bid price for securities held long, or the closing ask price for securities held short, or if a closing bid or ask price, as applicable, is not available, at either the exchange or system-defined closing price on the exchange or system in which such securities are principally traded. Over-the-counter securities not quoted on the Nasdaq Stock Market will be valued at the last sale price on the relevant Determination Date or, if no sale occurs, at the last bid price, in the case of securities held long, or the last ask price, in the case of securities held short, at the time NAV is determined. Equity securities for which no prices are obtained under the foregoing procedures, including those for which a pricing service supplies no exchange quotation or a quotation that is believed by the Valuation Designee not to reflect the fair value, will be valued at the bid price, in the case of securities held long, or the ask price, in the case of securities held short, supplied by one or more dealers making a market in those securities or one or more brokers. Futures index options will be valued at the mid-point between the last bid price and the last ask price on the relevant Determination Date at the time NAV is determined.
Fixed-income securities, except for private debt investments discussed below, with a remaining maturity of sixty (60) days or more, will normally be valued according to dealer-supplied mean quotations or mean quotations from a recognized pricing service. Fixed-income securities for which market quotations are unavailable or are believed by the Valuation Designee not to reflect fair value will be valued based upon broker-supplied quotations provided that if such quotations are unavailable or are believed by the Valuation Designee not to reflect fair value, such fixed-income securities will be valued using valuation models that take into account spread and daily yield changes on government securities in the appropriate market (e.g., matrix pricing). High quality investment grade debt securities (e.g., treasuries, commercial paper, etc.) with a remaining maturity of sixty (60) days or less are valued at amortized cost.
15

First Trust Enhanced Private Credit Fund
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — Continued
September 30, 2025 (Unaudited)
The Valuation Designee will evaluate each private debt investment’s fair value based on numerous factors, including but not limited to, changes in credit risk, construction risk, the financial strength of the borrower and the debt instrument’s spread to U.S. Treasuries. The Fund will also engage qualified external valuation consultants to provide valuation information, typically on a quarterly basis, but at least semi-annually. The Fund will generally value any private debt investments at the lesser of their amortized cost or the mid-point of any valuation range as provided by a qualified external valuation consultant. In certain circumstances, the Valuation Designee may determine that this amount does not represent the fair value of the private debt investment based on current market conditions. In such an instance, the Valuation Designee will fair value the investment using another methodology. In its fair valuation assessment process, the Valuation Designee may consider any information it deems appropriate including from external valuation consultants.
The Fund values its investments in private investment funds (generally private funds that are excluded from the definition of “investment company” pursuant to Sections 3(c)(1) or 3(c)(7) of the Investment Company Act) at the value determined by each private investment fund in accordance with such private investment fund’s valuation policies and reported at the time of the Fund’s valuation. The Fund will determine the fair value of such private investment fund based on the most recent final or estimated value reported by the private investment fund, as well as any other relevant information available at the time the Fund values its portfolio. A substantial amount of time may elapse between the pricing of Fund assets and the receipt of valuation information from the underlying manager of a private investment fund. Where deemed appropriate by the Valuation Designee and consistent with the Investment Company Act, investments in private investment funds may be valued at cost. Cost will be used only when cost is determined to best approximate the fair value of the particular private investment fund under consideration.
The Fund will generally value shares of open-end and closed-end investment companies that do not trade on one or more of the U.S. national securities exchanges at their respective NAVs.
Warrants for which market quotations are not readily available will be fair valued based on the underlying investment. The Fund will engage qualified external valuation consultants to provide valuation information, typically on a quarterly basis, but at least semiannually. The Fund will generally value warrants at the mid-point of any valuation range as provided by a qualified external valuation consultant. In certain circumstances, the Valuation Designee may determine that this amount does not represent the fair value of the warrant based on current market conditions. In such an instance, the Valuation Designee will fair value the investment using another methodology. In its fair valuation assessment process, the Valuation Designee may consider any information it deems appropriate including from external valuation consultants.
Assets and liabilities initially expressed in foreign currencies will be converted into U.S. dollars using foreign exchange rates provided by a pricing service. Trading in foreign securities generally is completed, and the values of such securities are determined, prior to the close of securities markets in the U.S. Foreign exchange rates are also determined prior to such close. On occasion, the values of securities and exchange rates may be affected by events occurring between the time as of which determination of such values or exchange rates are made and the time as of which the NAV of the Fund is determined. When such events materially affect the values of securities held by the Fund or its liabilities, such securities and liabilities will be valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Valuation Designee.
Investors should be aware that situations involving uncertainties as to the value of portfolio positions could have an adverse effect on the Fund’s NAV if the judgments regarding appropriate valuations should prove incorrect.

(b) Foreign Currency Translation
The Fund’s records are maintained in U.S. dollars. The value of securities, currencies and other assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars are translated into U.S. dollars based upon foreign exchange rates prevailing at the end of the reporting period. The currencies are translated into U.S. dollars by using the exchange rates quoted as of 4:00 PM Eastern Standard Time. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses are translated on the respective dates of such transactions.
The Fund does not isolate that portion of its net realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates from the impact arising from changes in market prices. Such fluctuations are included with net realized and unrealized gains or losses from investments and foreign currency.
Net realized foreign currency transaction gains and losses arise from sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the differences between the amounts of dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign currency translation gains and losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities, resulting from changes in the exchange rates.
(c) Private Investment Funds
The Fund may invest in private investment funds (i.e., investment funds that would be investment companies but for the exemptions under Section 3(c)(1) or 3(c)(7) of the Investment Company Act) that invest or trade in a wide range of securities. When the Fund invests in securities issued by private investment funds, it will bear its pro rata portion of the private investment funds’ expenses. These expenses are in addition to the direct expenses of the Fund’s own operations, thereby increasing indirect costs and potentially reducing returns to Fund shareholders (“Shareholders”). A private investment fund in which the Fund invests has its own investment risks, and those risks can affect the value of such private investment fund’s shares and therefore the value of the Fund’s investments. There can be no assurance that the investment objective of a private investment fund will be achieved. A private investment fund may change its investment objective or policies without the Fund’s approval, which could force the Fund to withdraw its investment from such private investment fund at a time that is unfavorable to the Fund. In addition, one private investment fund may buy the same securities that another private investment fund sells. Therefore, the Fund would indirectly bear the costs of these trades without accomplishing any investment purpose.
(d) Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts
The Fund may enter into forward foreign currency exchange contracts (“Forward Contracts”) under which it is obligated to exchange currencies on specified future dates at specified rates, which are subject to the risk of foreign exchange rate fluctuations. All contracts are “marked-to-market” daily and any resulting unrealized gains or losses are recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation on Forward Contracts. The Fund records realized gains or losses at the time the Forward Contract is settled. Counter parties to these Forward Contracts are major U.S. financial institutions.
(e) Investment Transactions, Investment Income and Expenses
Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on investments are determined on the identified cost basis. Dividend income and expense is recorded net of applicable withholding taxes on the ex-dividend date and interest income and expense, including where applicable, accretion of discount and amortization of premium on investments, is recorded on an accrual basis. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends, if applicable, are paid (a portion of which may be reclaimable) or provided for in accordance with the applicable country’s tax rules and rates and are
17

First Trust Enhanced Private Credit Fund
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — Continued
September 30, 2025 (Unaudited)
disclosed in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. Withholding tax reclaims are filed in certain countries to recover a portion of the amounts previously withheld. The Fund records a reclaim receivable based on a number of factors, including a jurisdiction’s legal obligation to pay reclaims as well as payment history and market convention. Discounts or premiums on debt securities are accreted or amortized to interest income over the lives of the respective securities using the effective interest method. Some or all of the interest payments of a loan or preferred equity may be structured in the form of paid-in-kind (“PIK”), which accrues to cost and principal on a current basis but is generally not paid in cash until maturity or some other determined payment date. Interest payments structured in the form of PIK are subject to the risk that a borrower could default when actual cash interest or principal payments are due.
(f) Federal Income Taxes
The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Code applicable to RICs and to distribute an amount equal to at least the sum of 90% of its investment company taxable income (net investment income and the excess of net short-term capital gain over net long-term capital loss) and 90% of its tax-exempt income, if any, for the year. Therefore, no provision is made for federal income or excise taxes. Due to the timing of dividend distributions and the differences in accounting for income and realized gains and losses for Consolidated Financial Statement and federal income tax purposes, the fiscal year in which amounts are distributed may differ from the year in which the income and realized gains and losses are recorded by the Fund.
ASC 740 Income Taxes, (“ASC 740”) requires an evaluation of tax positions taken (or expected to be taken) in the course of preparing the Fund’s tax returns to determine whether these positions meet a “more-likely-than-not” standard that, based on the technical merits, have a more than fifty percent likelihood of being sustained by a taxing authority upon examination. A tax position that meets the “more-likely-than-not” recognition threshold is measured to determine the amount of benefit to recognize in the consolidated financial statements. The Fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
ASC 740 requires management of the Fund to analyze tax positions taken in the prior three open tax years, if any, and tax positions expected to be taken in the Fund’s current tax year, as defined by the Internal Revenue Service statute of limitations for all major jurisdictions, including federal tax authorities and certain state tax authorities. For the period from the commencement of the Fund’s operations on July 1, 2024 through March 31, 2025, the Fund did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax benefits. The Fund has no examination in progress and is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.
(g) Distributions to Shareholders
The Fund intends to make monthly distributions to Shareholders equal to 12% annually of the Fund’s NAV per Share (the “Distribution Policy”). This predetermined dividend rate may be modified by the Board from time to time, and may be increased to the extent of the Fund’s investment company taxable income that it is required to distribute in order to maintain its status as a RIC. The amount and timing of distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. The character of distributions made during the year from net investment income or net realized gains may differ from the characterization for federal income tax purposes due to differences in the recognition of income expense and gain (loss) items for Consolidated Financial Statement and tax purposes.
For financial reporting purposes, dividends and distributions to Shareholders are recorded on the ex-date. If, for any distribution, available cash is less than the amount of this predetermined dividend rate, then assets of the Fund will be sold and such disposition may generate additional taxable income.
18

First Trust Enhanced Private Credit Fund
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — Continued
September 30, 2025 (Unaudited)
The Fund’s final distribution for each calendar year will include any remaining investment company taxable income and net tax-exempt income undistributed during the year, as well as the remaining net capital gain realized during the year. If the total distributions made in any calendar year exceed investment company taxable income, net tax-exempt income and net capital gains, such excess amount distributed would be treated as ordinary dividend income to the extent of the Fund’s current and accumulated earnings and profits. Payments in excess of the earnings and profits would first be a tax-free return of capital to the extent of the adjusted tax basis in the Shares. After such adjusted tax basis is reduced to zero, the payment would constitute capital gain (assuming the Shares are held as capital assets). The Distribution Policy may, under certain circumstances, have certain adverse consequences to the Fund and Shareholders because it may result in a return of capital resulting in less of a Shareholder’s assets being invested in the Fund and, over time, increase the Fund’s expense ratio. The Distribution Policy also may cause the Fund to sell a security at a time it would not otherwise do so in order to manage the distribution of income and gain.
A Shareholder whose Shares are registered in their own name will automatically be a participant under the Fund’s dividend reinvestment program (the “DRIP”) and have all income dividends and/or capital gains distributions automatically reinvested in Shares unless such Shareholder, at any time, specifically elects to receive income dividends and/or capital gains distributions in cash.
(h) Organizational and Offering Costs
Organizational costs consist of the costs of forming the Fund, drafting of bylaws, administration, custody and transfer agency agreements and legal services in connection with the initial meeting of the Board. Offering costs consist of the costs of preparation, review and filing with the SEC the Fund’s registration statement, the costs of preparation, review and filing of any associated marketing or similar materials, the costs associated with the printing, mailing or other distribution of the Private Placement Memorandum, Statement of Additional Information and/or marketing materials and the amounts of associated filing fees and legal fees associated with the offering. The aggregate amount of the organizational costs and offering costs reflected in the Consolidated Statement of Operations are $0 and $3,199, respectively.
Organizational costs are expensed as they are incurred. Offering costs are amortized to expense over twelve months on a straight-line basis.
(i) Segments
The Fund has adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280) — Improvements to Reportable Segments Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”). An operating segment is defined as a component of a public entity that engages in business activities from which it may recognize revenues and incur expenses, has operating results that are regularly reviewed by the public entity’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance and has discrete financial information available. The Fund’s President acts as the Fund’s CODM. The Fund represents a single operating segment, as the CODM monitors the operating results of the Fund as a whole and the Fund’s long-term strategic asset allocation is pre-determined in accordance with the terms of the Fund’s single investment objective which is executed by the Fund’s portfolio managers as a team. The financial information in the form of the Fund’s portfolio composition, total returns, expense ratios and changes in net assets, which are used by the CODM to assess the segment’s performance versus the Fund’s comparative benchmarks and to make resource allocation decisions for the Fund’s single segment, is consistent with that presented within the Fund’s consolidated financial statements. The total return and performance is reflected within the accompanying Consolidated Financial Highlights. Segment assets are reflected on the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities as “total assets” and segment expenses are listed on the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Note 3 — Investment Advisory and Other Agreements and Activity with Affiliates
The Fund has entered into an investment advisory agreement (the “Agreement”) with the Investment Adviser. Pursuant to the Agreement, the Fund has agreed to pay the Investment Adviser a monthly fee, in arrears, equal to 1.00% on an annualized basis of the Fund’s net assets determined as of month-end (the “Management Fee”), subject to certain adjustments. The Investment Adviser voluntarily waived its Management Fees through June 30, 2025. The Investment Adviser terminated this voluntary reduction effective July 1, 2025. The Investment Adviser will not seek recoupment of Management Fees it waived pursuant to this voluntary waiver. For the six months ended September 30, 2025, the Investment Adviser voluntarily waived its Management Fees totaling $163,573.
Under the terms of the Agreement, the Fund also pays the Investment Adviser an incentive fee (the “Incentive Fee”). The Incentive Fee is calculated and payable monthly in arrears in an amount equal to 15.0% of the Fund’s realized “Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income” for the immediately preceding month, subject to the Hurdle Rate, defined and described below. “Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income” is defined as interest income, dividend income and any other income (including any other fees, such as commitment, origination, structuring, diligence and consulting fees that the Fund (or its wholly-owned subsidiary) receives from portfolio companies) accrued during the calendar month, minus the Fund’s operating expenses for the month (including the Management Fee, expenses and fees payable to UMBFS, any interest expense and dividends paid on any issued and outstanding preferred Shares and credit agreements, but excluding the Incentive Fee and any shareholder servicing and/or distribution fees). Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income includes, in the case of investments with a deferred interest feature, accrued income that the Fund has not yet received in cash. Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income does not include any realized capital gains, realized capital losses or unrealized appreciation or depreciation. The Incentive Fee attributable to Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income that is paid to the Investment Adviser in a given month may be calculated on the basis of an amount that is greater than the amount of net investment income actually received by the Fund for such month. Payment of the Incentive Fee shall be subject to a Hurdle Rate, expressed as a rate of return on the Fund’s net assets equal to 0.42% per month (or an annualized Hurdle Rate of 5%) (the “Hurdle Rate”), subject to a “catch up” feature. For purposes of the Incentive Fee, net assets shall be calculated for the relevant month as the NAV of the fund as of the first business day of each month. No Incentive Fee is payable to the Investment Adviser on capital gains whether realized or unrealized.
The portion of such Incentive Fee that is attributable to deferred interest (such as PIK interest or original issue discount) will be paid to the Investment Adviser, without interest, only if and to the extent the Fund actually receives such deferred interest in cash, and any accrual will be reversed if and to the extent such interest is reversed in connection with any write-off or similar treatment of the investment giving rise to any deferred interest accrual. Any reversal of such amounts would reduce net income for the month by the net amount of the reversal (after taking into account the reversal of Incentive Fees payable) and would result in a reduction of the Incentive Fees for such month. No Incentive Fee is payable to the Investment Adviser on capital gains, whether realized or unrealized. In addition, the amount of the Incentive Fee is not affected by any realized or unrealized losses that the Fund may suffer. For the six months ended September 30, 2025, the Investment Adviser earned Incentive Fees totaling $549,393. The voluntary waiver of Investment Management Fees may help the Investment Adviser achieve the Hurdle Rate and collect the Incentive Fee.
The Investment Adviser has entered into an expense limitation and reimbursement agreement (the “Expense Limitation and Reimbursement Agreement”) with the Fund, whereby the Investment Adviser has agreed to waive fees that it would otherwise have been paid, and/or to assume expenses of the Fund (a “Waiver”), if required to ensure the total annual expenses (excluding any taxes, leverage interest, brokerage commissions, dividend and interest expenses on short sales, Incentive Fees, acquired fund fees and expenses (as determined in accordance with SEC Form N-2), expenses

incurred in connection with any merger or reorganization and extraordinary expenses, such as litigation expenses) do not exceed 2.00% of the average daily net assets of the Fund (the “Expense Limit”). For a period not to exceed three years from the date on which a Waiver is made, the Investment Adviser may recoup amounts waived or assumed, provided they are able to effect such recoupment without causing the Fund’s expense ratio (after recoupment) to exceed the lesser of (i) the Expense Limit in effect at the time of the waiver and (ii) the Expense Limit in effect at the time of the recoupment. The initial term of the Expense Limitation and Reimbursement Agreement was through April 25, 2025. Thereafter, the Expense Limitation and Reimbursement Agreement will automatically renew for consecutive one-year terms unless terminated by the Fund or the Investment Adviser upon 30 days’ advance written notice. Because taxes, leverage interest, brokerage commissions, dividend and interest expenses on short sales, Incentive Fees, acquired fund fees and expenses, expenses incurred in connection with any merger or reorganization and extraordinary expenses are excluded from the Expense Limit, total annual expenses (after fee waivers and expense reimbursements) are expected to exceed 2.00%.
First Trust Portfolios L.P., an affiliate of the Investment Adviser, currently serves as the Fund’s distributor. UMBFS serves as the Fund’s fund accountant, transfer agent and administrator; and UMB Bank, n.a., an affiliate of UMBFS, serves as the Fund’s custodian.
A Trustee and certain officers of the Fund are employees of UMBFS. The Fund does not compensate Trustees and officers affiliated with UMBFS or the Investment Adviser. For the six months ended September 30, 2025, the Fund’s fees incurred for Trustees are reported on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
Vigilant Compliance, LLC provides Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”) services to the Fund. The Fund’s fees incurred for CCO services for the six months ended September 30, 2025 are reported on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
Note 4 — Federal Income Taxes
The Fund intends to elect to be treated and qualify as a RIC for federal income tax purposes. As a RIC, the Fund will generally not be subject to federal corporate income tax, provided that it distributes out all of its income and gains each year.
At September 30, 2025, gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation of based on cost for federal income tax purposes, were as follows:
Cost of investments
$ 74,622,472
Gross unrealized appreciation
$ 2,466,483
Gross unrealized depreciation
(298,665)
Net unrealized appreciation on investments
$ 2,167,818
The difference between cost amounts for Consolidated Financial Statement and federal income tax purposes is due primarily to timing differences in recognizing certain gains and losses in securities transactions.
GAAP requires that certain components of net assets be reclassified between financial and tax reporting. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or NAV per share. For the year ended March 31, 2025, permanent differences in book and tax accounting have been reclassified as follows:

Note 6 — Indemnifications
In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements cannot be known; however, the Fund expects any risk of loss to be remote.
Note 7 — Repurchase of Shares
At the discretion of the Board and provided that it is in the best interests of the Fund and Shareholders to do so, the Fund intends to provide a limited degree of liquidity to Shareholders by conducting tender offers every six months occurring on the last business day of June and December. In each tender offer, the Fund may offer to repurchase its Shares at their NAV as determined as of the relevant valuation date. Each tender offer will be for an amount up to 3.5% of the Fund’s Shares outstanding. If the number of Shares tendered for repurchase exceeds the number the Fund intended to repurchase, the Fund may determine to repurchase less than the full number of Shares tendered. In such event, Shareholders will have their Shares repurchased on a pro rata basis, and tendering Shareholders will not have all of their tendered Shares repurchased by the Fund. Repurchases will be made at such times and on such terms as maybe determined by the Board, in its sole discretion. However, no assurance can be given that repurchases will occur or that any Shares properly tendered will be repurchased by the Fund. The Fund may choose not to conduct a tender offer of its outstanding Shares or may choose to conduct a tender offer for less than 3.5% of its outstanding Shares. Investors may not have access to the money invested in the Fund for an indefinite time.

Note 8 — Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure
ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement (“ASC 820”) defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with GAAP and expands disclosure about fair value measurements. It also provides guidance on determining when there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for an asset or a liability, when a transaction is not orderly and how that information must be incorporated into a fair value measurement.
Under ASC 820, various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized into three broad levels as described below:

Level 1 — Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Fund has the ability to access.

Level 2 — Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These inputs may include quoted prices for the identical instrument on an inactive market, prices for similar instruments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, default rates and similar data.

Level 3 — Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, to the extent relevant observable inputs are not available, representing the Fund’s own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability, and would be based on the best information available.
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.
The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls in its entirety is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
In accordance with ASU 2015-07, Disclosures for Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or Its Equivalent), investments valued at the NAV as practical expedient are not included in the fair value hierarchy. As such, investments in Private Collateralized Loan Obligations with a fair value of $1,519,089 are excluded from the fair value hierarchy as of September 30, 2025.

Note 10 — Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities
ASU 2011-11, Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities, requires an entity to disclose information about offsetting and related arrangements to enable users of its financial statements to understand the effect of those arrangements on its financial position.
The Fund mitigates credit risk with respect to over-the-counter (“OTC”) derivative counterparties through credit support annexes included with International Swaps and Derivatives Association (“ISDA”) Master Agreements or other Master Netting Agreements which are the standard contracts governing most derivative transactions between the Fund and each of its counterparties. These agreements allow the Fund and each counterparty to offset certain derivative financial instruments’ payables and/or receivables against each other and/or with collateral, which is generally held by the Fund’s custodian. The amount of collateral moved to/from applicable counterparties is based upon minimum transfer amounts specified in the agreement. To the extent amounts due to the Fund from its counterparties are not fully collateralized contractually or otherwise, the Fund bears the risk of loss from counterparty non-performance.
The Fund’s Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities presents financial instruments on a gross basis, therefore there are no net amounts and no offset amounts within the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities to present below. Gross amounts of the financial instruments, amounts related to financial instruments/cash collateral not offset in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities and net amounts are presented below:

** Amounts relate to Master Netting Agreements and collateral agreements which have been determined by the Investment Adviser to be legally enforceable in the event of default but where certain other criteria are not met in accordance with applicable offsetting accounting guidance. The collateral amounts may exceed the related net amounts of financial assets and liabilities presented in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Where this is the case, the total amount reported is limited to the net amounts of financial assets and liabilities with that counterparty.

Note 12 — Credit Agreement
The Fund, as the borrower, has entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”), with TriState Capital Bank as the lender. The Credit Agreement establishes a commitment by the lender to make revolving loans to the Fund in an aggregate principal amount not in excess of $5,000,000, which may be increased from time to time upon mutual agreement by the parties. The expiration date of the Credit Agreement is January 21, 2026. In connection with the Credit Agreement, the Fund has made certain customary representations and warranties and is required to comply with various customary covenants, reporting requirements and other requirements including maintaining a loan to value ratio of 3 to 1 at any time. The Credit Agreement contains events of default customary for similar financing transactions, including: (i) the failure to make principal, interest or other payments when due after the applicable grace period; (ii) the insolvency or bankruptcy of the Fund; or (iii) a change of management of the Fund. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an event of default, the lender may declare the outstanding advances and all other obligations under the Credit Agreement immediately due and payable. The Fund’s obligations to the lender under the Credit Agreement are secured by a first-priority security interest in substantially all of the assets of the Fund.
For the six months ended September 30, 2025, the Fund incurred a cost related to the setup and maintenance of the Credit Agreement as reported on the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The average interest rate, average daily loan balance, maximum outstanding and amount recorded as interest expense for the 1 day the Fund had outstanding borrowings were 6.77%, $2,000,000, $2,000,000, and $371, respectively. As of September 30, 2025, the Fund had $2,000,000 in outstanding borrowings.
Note 13 — Risk Factors
An investment in the Fund involves various risks. The Fund allocates assets to investment funds that invest in and actively trade securities and other financial instruments using a variety of strategies and investment techniques with significant risk characteristics, including the risks arising from the volatility of the equity, fixed income, commodity and currency markets, the risks of borrowings and short sales, the risks arising from leverage associated with trading in the equities, currencies and over-the-counter derivatives markets, the illiquidity of derivative instruments and the risk of loss from counterparty defaults.
No guarantee or representation is made that the investment program will be successful.

Certain local, regional or global events such as war, acts of terrorism, the spread of infectious illnesses and/or other public health issues, financial institution instability, recessions or other events may have a significant impact on a security or instrument. These types of events and other like them are collectively referred to as “Market Disruptions and Geopolitical Risks” and they may have adverse impacts on the worldwide economy, as well as the economies of individual countries, the financial health of individual companies and the market in general in significant and unforeseen ways. Some of the impacts noted in recent times include but are not limited to embargos, political actions, supply chain disruptions, bank failures, restrictions to investment and/or monetary movement including the forced selling of securities or the inability to participate impacted markets. The duration of these events could adversely affect the Fund’s performance, the performance of the securities in which the Fund invests and may lead to losses. The ultimate impact of “Market Disruptions and Geopolitical Risks” on the financial performance of the Fund’s investments is not reasonably estimable at this time. Management is actively monitoring these events.
Note 14 — Events Subsequent to the Period End
In preparing these Consolidated Financial Statements, management has evaluated subsequent events through the date of issuance of the Consolidated Financial Statements included herein. There have been no subsequent events that occurred during such period that would require disclosure or would be required to be recognized in the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Conflicts of Interest

 

The Investment Adviser and Portfolio Managers may manage multiple funds and/or other accounts, and as a result may be presented with one or more of the following actual or potential conflicts:

 

The management of multiple funds and/or other accounts may result in the Investment Adviser or Portfolio Manager devoting unequal time and attention to the management of each fund and/or other account. The Investment Adviser seeks to manage such competing interests for the time and attention of a Portfolio Manager by having the Portfolio Manager focus on a particular investment discipline. Most other accounts managed by a Portfolio Manager are managed using the same investment models that are used in connection with the management of the Fund.

 

If the Investment Adviser or Portfolio Manager identifies a limited investment opportunity which may be suitable for more than one fund or other account, a fund may not be able to take full advantage of that opportunity due to an allocation of filled purchase or sale orders across all eligible funds and other accounts. To deal with these situations, the Investment Adviser has adopted procedures for allocating portfolio transactions across multiple accounts.

 

The Investment Adviser has adopted certain compliance procedures which are designed to address these types of conflicts. However, there is no guarantee that such procedures will detect each and every situation in which a conflict arises.
