Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Members and the Board of Managers of Man FRM Alternative Multi-Strategy Fund LLC

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statement of assets and liabilities of Man FRM Alternative Multi-Strategy Fund LLC (the “Company”), including the consolidated schedule of investments, as of March 31, 2018, and the related consolidated statements of operations and cash flows for the year then ended, the consolidated statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, the consolidated financial highlights for each of the three years in the period then ended and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company at March 31, 2018, the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended, the consolidated changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and its consolidated financial highlights for each of the three years in the period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

The consolidated financial highlights for the years ended March 31, 2014 and 2015 were audited by other auditors whose report dated May 29, 2015, expressed an unqualified opinion on such consolidated financial highlights.

Basis for Opinion

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

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of investments owned as of March 31, 2018, by correspondence with management of the underlying investment funds. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

We have served as the auditor for one or more FRM Investment Management (USA) LLC investment companies since 2014.

Man FRM Alternative Multi-Strategy Fund LLC
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
March 31, 2018

1. Organization

Man FRM Alternative Multi-Strategy Fund LLC (the “Company”), formerly known as Excelsior Multi-Strategy Hedge Fund of Funds, LLC, was organized as a limited liability company under the laws of Delaware on July 6, 2000, and commenced operations on October 1, 2000. The Company is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as a non-diversified, closed-end management investment company, but operates as a diversified investment company. The Company’s investment objective is to seek capital appreciation. The Company pursues its investment objective principally through a multi-manager, multi-strategy program of investments in private investment funds (“Portfolio Funds”) that invest or trade in a wide range of financial instruments and markets. There can be no assurance that the investment objective of the Company will be achieved. The investment managers of Portfolio Funds in which the Company invests generally conduct their investment programs through these Portfolio Funds. The Company invests in Portfolio Funds as a limited partner, shareholder or member along with other investors.

The Company is treated as an association taxable as a corporation and intends to qualify as a regulated investment company (a "RIC") under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), for federal tax purposes. The Company is an investment company and follows the accounting and reporting guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies.

To facilitate compliance with certain requirements necessary to maintain its RIC status, the Company formed Man FRM Alternative Multi-Strategy 1099 Blocker Fund LLC (the “Blocker Fund”), formerly known as Excelsior Multi-Strategy 1099 Blocker Fund, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, to hold interests in certain Portfolio Funds. These financial statements are consolidated financial statements of the Company and the Blocker Fund.

Merrill Lynch Alternative Investments LLC (“MLAI”) served as the investment adviser of the Company from December 31, 2013 through March 31, 2015, under the terms of the investment advisory agreement between MLAI and the Company. On February 10, 2015, in connection with the proposed sale by MLAI of certain assets relating to the management and operation of various funds of hedge funds, the Board of Managers of the Company (the "Board") approved a new investment advisory agreement for the Company with FRM Investment Management (USA) LLC ("FRM USA" or the “Adviser”), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Man Group plc. The new agreement with FRM USA was approved by members of the Company (“Members”) at a meeting held on March 25, 2015, and became effective on April 1, 2015. FRM USA is registered as an investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended, and its principal office is located at 452 Fifth Avenue, 26th Fl., New York, NY 10018.

The Board has overall responsibility to manage and supervise the operations of the Company, including the exclusive authority to oversee and to establish policies regarding the management, conduct and operation of the Company’s business. The Board exercises the same powers, authority and responsibilities with respect to the Company as are customarily exercised by directors of an investment company registered under the 1940 Act and organized as a corporation. The Adviser manages the day-to-day operations and investment portfolio of the Company.

Subscriptions for Units by eligible investors are generally accepted as of the first day of each month, or at such times as the Board may determine. From time to time, the Company offers to repurchase Units from Members pursuant to written tenders by Members. Repurchase offers are made at such times and on such terms as may be determined by the Board, in its sole discretion, subject to the liquidity of the Company’s assets and other factors considered by the Board. The Adviser expects that it will recommend to the Board that the Company offer to repurchase Units from Members four times each year, effective as of the last day of each calendar quarter. Members can transfer or assign Units only under certain limited circumstances. The Company’s repurchases of Units from Members are recognized as liabilities when the amount payable for repurchased Units becomes fixed. This generally will occur on the last day of a fiscal period.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a consolidated basis in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"). All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Company and the Blocker Fund in preparation of these consolidated financial statements.

a. Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Management believes that the estimates utilized in preparing the Company’s consolidated financial statements are reasonable and prudent; however, actual results could differ from these estimates.

b. Company Expenses

The Company bears certain expenses incurred in its business, including, but not limited to, the following: fees paid directly or indirectly to the investment managers of Portfolio Funds; all costs and expenses directly related to portfolio transactions and positions for the Company’s account; legal fees; accounting and auditing fees; custodial fees; fees paid to the Company’s administrator; costs of insurance; advisory fees; the fees and travel expenses and other expenses of the Board; all costs with respect to communications regarding the Company’s transactions among the Adviser and any custodian or other agent engaged by the Company; and other types of expenses approved by the Board. Expenses, including incentive fees and allocations borne by or allocated to the Company as an investor in Portfolio Funds are not presented on the Consolidated Statement of Operations and are not included in the expense ratios shown in the Consolidated Financial Highlights. The income and expenses of Portfolio Funds are, however, included in realized and unrealized gains on investments on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

c. Income Taxes and Distributions

The Company is treated as an association taxable as a corporation and intends to qualify as a RIC and to distribute substantially all of the Company's taxable earnings to its Members. As provided in the Code applicable to a RIC, in any fiscal year in which the Company so qualifies and distributes at least 90% of its taxable income, the Company, but not the Members, will be relieved of federal income tax on the income distributed. Therefore, no provision (benefit) for Federal income taxes on income, other than taxes on income earned by the Blocker Fund, is recorded in the Company's financial statements. Qualification as a RIC requires that the Company meet certain asset diversification, income distribution and nature of gross income requirements. The Company is subject to the risk that, due to the investment activities of the Portfolio Funds or other factors, it may not so qualify in some periods. Should the Company fail to qualify as a RIC, its taxable income would be subject to tax at established corporate rates. With respect to the Company’s investments in Portfolio Funds that are passive foreign investment companies (“PFICs”), the Company has made elections to include its allocable share of the income of such PFICs currently in its calculation of ordinary income and capital gains for the year, when the required information is available, or it may currently include the appreciation in the value of such PFICs as ordinary income. For PFICs where no election was made as of October 31, 2013, the Company was subject to interest and penalties. The Company accrues the estimated amount of such interest and penalties based on the current value of the related investments. For the tax year ended October 31, 2017, the Company received a refund from a prior year accrual in the amount of $265.

The Blocker Fund is taxed as a corporation, but does not intend to qualify as a RIC pursuant to Subchapter M of the Code. As a corporation, the Blocker Fund is obligated to pay federal, state and local income tax on taxable income. Currently, the maximum marginal regular federal income tax rate for a corporation is 35 percent. A fund taxed as a corporation may be subject to a 20 percent alternative minimum tax on its federal alternative minimum taxable income to the extent that its alternative minimum tax exceeds its regular federal income tax. The Blocker Fund is currently using an estimated 8.83 and 8.85 percent rate for state and local tax, respectively. The Blocker Fund has net operating loss carryforwards of $403,392 and $372,579 in New York State and New York City, respectively, which will expire in various years through 2037.

The amounts of dividends from net investment income and of distributions from net realized gains, if any, are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations and are recorded on the ex-dividend date. They may differ from GAAP. These "book/tax" differences are either considered temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the composition of net assets based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification.

Permanent “book/tax” differences result in the reclassification of amounts between accumulated net investment loss, accumulated net realized loss on investment transactions and paid-in capital reported on the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities as of March 31, 2018. Permanent differences are evaluated based upon the Company’s tax year end; permanent differences after October 31, 2017 will be reflected in future periods. Such permanent “book/tax” differences are principally attributable to the aforementioned tax differences for federal tax purposes recognized upon the sale or other disposition of the Company’s investments in PFICs and partnerships and certain transactions between the Company and the Blocker Fund. The Company’s net assets were unaffected by these reclassifications. The following amounts have been reclassified as of fiscal year ended March 31, 2018:

12

Man FRM Alternative Multi-Strategy Fund LLC
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
March 31, 2018

					Increase in
					accumulated net
			Increase in		realized loss on
Decrease in			accumulated net		investment
Paid-in Capital			investment loss		transactions
$	(3,998,825	)	$	3,958,747	$	40,078

In order to avoid imposition of an excise tax applicable to a RIC, it is also the Company’s intention to declare and pay as dividends in each calendar year at least 98% of taxable ordinary income earned during the calendar year and 98.2% of its net realized capital gains earned during the twelve months ending October 31 plus undistributed amounts from prior years.

The tax character of distributions paid for fiscal years March 31, 2018 and March 31, 2017 is as follows:

	March 31, 2018		March 31, 2017
From ordinary income	$	1,294,946	$	-
From long-term capital gains		6,462,589		5,923,804
Total distribution	$	7,757,535	$	5,923,804

The Company makes distributions of net investment income and capital gains, if any, at least annually, on a calendar year basis. The amount and timing of distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations. Due to the timing of dividend distributions and the differences in accounting for income and realized gains and losses for 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 Company. Where appropriate, reclassifications between net asset accounts are made for such differences that are permanent in nature.

The Blocker Fund’s tax expense or benefit is included in the Consolidated Statement of Operations, based on the component of income or gains/(losses) to which such expense or benefit relates. Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax law rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years such temporary differences are realized or otherwise settled. A valuation allowance is recognized if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a deferred income tax asset will not be realized. From time to time, as new information becomes available, the Blocker Fund will modify its estimates or assumptions regarding the deferred tax liability or asset.

The Company may rely, to some extent, on information provided by Portfolio Funds, which may not necessarily be timely, to estimate taxable income allocable to the Blocker Fund, and to estimate its associated deferred tax benefit/(liability). Such estimates are made in good faith. From time to time, as new information becomes available, the Company will modify its estimates or assumptions regarding the Blocker Fund’s tax benefit/(liability), and such modifications could be material.

Cost Basis

The cost of Portfolio Funds that are partnerships for federal income tax purposes is adjusted for items of taxable income allocated to the Company from such Portfolio Funds. The allocated taxable income is reported to the Company by each such Portfolio Fund on a Schedule K-1, or PFIC statement, generally as of December 31 (or in certain cases taxable income for PFICs is determined using a mark-to-market election). As a result, the aggregate cost of Portfolio Funds as of October 31, as well as the tax composition of net assets for federal income tax purposes, has been estimated by the Adviser using information from the Portfolio Funds and/or other information. The actual tax cost of investments and composition of net assets for federal income tax purposes may be different. The Company's required distributions and tax liability for the tax year, including the period November 1, 2017 through March 31, 2018, will be determined by the net investment income or loss and net realized gain or loss for the tax year ending October 31, 2018.

At October 31, 2017, gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation of investments in Portfolio Funds held by the Company based on cost for federal income tax purposes were as follows:

	Attributable to			Attributable to
	investments held			investments held
	directly by the			directly by the
	Company			Blocker Fund
Cost of Investments in Portfolio Funds	$	152,712,537		$	5,191,414
Gross Unrealized Appreciation		11,506,331			99,403
Gross Unrealized Depreciation		(10,255,981	)		(2,371,282	)
Net Unrealized Appreciation/(Depreciation)	$	1,250,350		$	(2,271,879	)

The Company's cost of investment in the Blocker Fund for federal income tax purposes at October 31, 2017 was $3,346,904. The cost of investments in Portfolio Funds attributable to investments held directly by the Company shown above excludes the cost of the Company’s investment in the Blocker Fund.

The difference between cost amounts for financial statement and federal income tax purposes is due primarily to timing differences in recognizing certain gains and losses in security transactions, primarily relating to investments in PFICs and partnerships. As of October 31, 2017, the Company’s components of accumulated earnings on a tax basis were as follows:

Undistributed ordinary gain	$	1,294,946
Undistributed long-term capital gains		4,495,411
Tax accumulated earnings		5,790,357
Unrealized appreciation		1,250,350
Total accumulated earnings	$	7,040,707

The Company’s accumulated tax earnings were distributed on December 30, 2017, and no undistributed tax earnings for the tax year ended October 31, 2017 remain as of March 31, 2018.

March 31, 2018

As a consequence of the Company’s election to be taxed as a RIC, effective January 1, 2012, the unrealized appreciation on a tax basis shown above includes a basis adjustment to the tax cost of the Company’s investment in the Blocker Fund of approximately $2,600,000.

The consolidated income tax provisions (benefits) for the years ended March 31, 2018 and March 31, 2017 are as follows:

	Year Ended			Year Ended
	March 31, 2018			March 31, 2017
Current Provision (Benefit):
Federal	$	(397,034	)	$	221,313

State		-			(1,197	)
		11,908			3,987
Total Provision (Benefit)	$	(377,236	)	$	351,306

Total income tax expense (benefit) for the Blocker Fund differed from the amounts computed by applying the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate of 35% to income before income tax expense as a result of the following:

	Year Ended			Year Ended
	March 31, 2018			March 31, 2017
Federal income tax expense at the statutory rate	$	(47,247	)	$	63,972

As part of the process of preparing its consolidated financial statements, the Company is required to account for the estimate of income taxes of the Blocker Fund for federal and state purposes through the establishment of a deferred tax asset or liability. Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Such temporary differences are principally the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting and income tax purposes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted tax law rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years such temporary differences are realized or otherwise settled. To the extent the Blocker Fund has a deferred tax asset, consideration is given to whether or not a valuation allowance is required. The determination of whether a valuation allowance is required is based on the evaluation criterion provided by ASC 740, Income Taxes (‘‘ASC 740’’) that it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. Among the factors considered in assessing the Blocker Fund’s valuation allowance are: the difference between the fair value and tax cost of specific assets and liabilities, the nature, frequency and severity of current and cumulative losses, forecasts of future profitability, the duration of the statutory carry forward periods and the associated risk that operating and capital loss carry forwards may expire unused.

Unexpected significant decreases in cash distributions from the Blocker Fund’s investments or significant changes in the fair value of its investments may change the Company's assessment regarding the recoverability of deferred tax assets and may result in an adjustment to the valuation allowance. If a valuation allowance is adjusted to create a deferred tax asset in the future, it could have a material impact on the Blocker Fund's net asset value and results of operations in the period in which it is recorded. In addition, the timing of realization of gains and losses by Portfolio Funds could have a positive or adverse impact on the Blocker Fund's income tax provision (benefit), and such impact could be material.

The authoritative guidance on accounting for and disclosure of uncertainty in tax positions requires management to determine whether a tax position of the Company is “more likely than not” to be sustained upon examination, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. For tax positions meeting the “more likely than not” threshold, the tax amount recognized in the financial statements is reduced by the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant taxing authority. Management of the Company is required to analyze tax positions expected to be taken in the Company's tax returns, as defined by statutes of limitations for all major jurisdictions, including federal tax authorities and certain state tax authorities. As of March 31, 2018, the Company did not have a liability for any federal income or excise taxes owed with respect to tax years ended on or before December 31, 2017. The Company has no examinations in progress and is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits attributable to these periods will significantly change in the next twelve months. The Company’s federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service. At March 31, 2018, the Company had no uncertain tax positions that would require recognition, derecognition, or disclosure in the consolidated financial statements. The Company’s policy is to classify interest and penalties associated with the Blocker Fund’s underpayment of federal and state income taxes, if any, as income tax expense on its statement of operations. The Company has reviewed all major jurisdictions and concluded that there is no impact on the Blocker Fund's net assets and no tax liability resulting from unrecognized tax benefits relating to uncertain income tax positions expected to be taken on its tax returns.

d. Security Transactions

Purchases of interests in Portfolio Funds are recorded as of the first day of legal ownership of a Portfolio Fund. Sales and redemptions of such interests are recorded as of the last day of legal ownership or participation in a Portfolio Fund. Realized gains and losses on the Company’s sales and redemption proceeds and distributions received from Portfolio Funds, whether in the form of cash or securities, are determined on the average cost basis.

For the period since inception through March 31, 2016, sales and redemption proceeds and distributions received from Portfolio Funds, whether in the form of cash or securities, were applied first as a reduction of the investment’s cost, and any excess was treated as realized gain from investments in Portfolio Funds.

e. Other

The net asset value (“NAV”) of the Company is computed as of the close of business on the last day of each month. The Company's NAV is the value of the Company's assets less its liabilities, and its NAV per Unit equals the Company’s NAV divided by the number of the issued and outstanding Units.

Cash and cash equivalents consist of amounts maintained in an account at The Bank of New York Mellon.

3. Portfolio Valuation

The NAV of the Company is determined by, or at the direction of, the Adviser as of the close of business at the end of each month and other fiscal period (as defined in the LLC Agreement), in accordance with the valuation principles set forth below, or as may be determined from time to time, pursuant to valuation procedures established by the Board. Pursuant to the valuation procedures, the Board has delegated to the Adviser the general responsibility for valuation of the investments in Portfolio Funds subject to the oversight of the Board.

Investments in Portfolio Funds are recorded at fair value, generally at an amount equal to the NAV of the Company's investment in Portfolio Fund as determined by the Portfolio Fund's general partner or investment manager. If no such information is available or if such information is deemed to be not reflective of fair value, an estimated fair value is determined in good faith by the Board or pursuant to procedures adopted by the Board. Generally, the values of investments in Portfolio Funds are determined whereby the Company records the investments and subsequent subscriptions at acquisition cost which represents fair value. Thereafter, the value of such an investment is adjusted to reflect the Company’s share of the Portfolio Fund’s net investment income or loss and unrealized and realized gain or loss to reflect changes in the fair value of the investment for the period. As of March 31, 2018, the investments in Portfolio Funds were fair valued using the NAVs of the Portfolio Funds.

Portfolio Funds generally record their investments at fair value in accordance with GAAP or International Financial Reporting Standards. They generally hold positions in readily marketable securities and derivatives that are valued at quoted market values and/or less liquid nonmarketable securities and derivatives that are valued at fair value. Accordingly, valuations do not necessarily represent the amounts that might be realized by Portfolio Funds from sales or other dispositions of their investments, nor do they reflect other expenses or fees that might be incurred by Portfolio Funds upon

17

Man FRM Alternative Multi-Strategy Fund LLC
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
March 31, 2018

disposition. The mix and concentration of more readily marketable securities and less liquid nonmarketable securities varies across Portfolio Funds based on various factors, including the nature of their investment strategies and market forces.

Because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation of the Company’s investments in Portfolio Funds, the estimated values of these investments may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for interests in Portfolio Funds existed, and the differences could be material. Net change in accumulated unrealized appreciation on investments in the statement of operations is net of fees and performance-based compensation paid to the investment managers of Portfolio Funds.

The Adviser conducts initial and ongoing due diligence monitoring of the Company’s investments in Portfolio Funds. The due diligence process includes evaluation of the valuation policies and procedures of the investment managers of Portfolio Funds and assessment of specific valuation matters. In addition to formal annual due diligence reviews of Portfolio Funds’ investment managers, the Adviser conducts regular discussions with the investment managers, which may include discussions concerning valuation policy and valuation matters that may impact the Portfolio Funds. The Adviser is responsible for the implementation and maintenance of internal controls and procedures related to Portfolio Funds’ valuations. The Adviser may rely upon valuations provided by the investment managers of Portfolio Funds. The Adviser maintains an investment committee that convenes periodically to oversee the application of the Company’s valuation policies and review various Portfolio Funds’ valuation metrics.

Some Portfolio Funds may invest in illiquid securities and may maintain a portion or all of these investments as segregated from their main portfolios. These separate baskets of illiquid securities (“side pockets”) are generally subject to greater restrictions on liquidity than the main portfolios of Portfolio Funds. If the Company redeems its interest in such a Portfolio Fund, it may be required to maintain its holding in the side pocket for an extended period of time and retain this remaining interest in the Portfolio Fund. In instances where such a Portfolio Fund closes its operations, or in other circumstances, the Company may receive an “in-kind” distribution of illiquid securities, including side pocket investments, in liquidation of the Company’s interest. The values of side pockets may fluctuate significantly. As of March 31, 2018, the Company’s investments in side pockets and Portfolio Funds in liquidation represented 1.65% of the Company’s Net Assets. Restrictions on liquidity applicable to the Company’s investments in individual Portfolio Funds are described in detail on the Company’s Consolidated Schedule of Investments. Additionally, the governing documents of Portfolio Funds generally provide that the Portfolio Funds may suspend, limit or delay the right of their investors, such as the Company, to withdraw their capital or to redeem their interests.

In prior reporting periods, the Company used a fair value hierarchy that prioritized the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The objective of a fair value measurement is to determine the price that would be received on the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (an exit price). Accordingly, the fair value hierarchy gave the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy were as follows:

18

Man FRM Alternative Multi-Strategy Fund LLC
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
March 31, 2018

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

· Level 2 – Quoted prices which are not considered to be active, or inputs that are observable (either directly or indirectly) for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; and

· Level 3 – Prices, inputs or modeling techniques which are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (supported by little or no market activity).

The preparation of the Consolidated Schedule of Investments in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the Consolidated Schedule of Investments and accompanying notes. Management believes that the estimates utilized in preparing the Company’s Consolidated Schedule of Investments are reasonable and prudent; however, the actual results could differ from these estimates.

The Company complies with the authoritative guidance under GAAP for estimating the fair value of investments in Portfolio Funds that have calculated NAV in accordance with the specialized accounting guidance for investment companies. Accordingly, the Company estimates the fair value of an investment in a Portfolio Fund using the NAV of the investment (or its equivalent) without further adjustment unless the Adviser determines that the NAV is deemed not to be reflective of the fair value. FASB ASC 820 – Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures no longer requires investments for which fair value is determined based on practical expedient reliance to be reported utilizing the fair value hierarchy. As of March 31, 2018, all of the investments of the Company were fair valued using NAV as the practical expedient of the investments in Portfolio Funds.

(a) Credit This class includes Portfolio Funds that seek to invest in credit-sensitive (generally below investment-grade) issuers. The managers of such Portfolio Funds seek to perform a high level of due diligence and to take advantage of what the Portfolio Fund’s manager discerns to be relatively inexpensive securities. The securities may be inexpensive due to regulatory anomalies or other constraints on traditional lenders (e.g. speed of decision-making process or disclosure rules). Credit sub-strategies may include credit long-short and credit value investments.

(b) Equity Long/Short This class includes Portfolio Funds that combine long positions and short sales with the aim of seizing opportunities in both rising and falling markets, while offsetting systematic market risks. Market exposure can vary substantially, leading to a wide range of risk and return profiles. Equity Long-Short sub-strategies include long bias, low net and highly variable focus. Portfolio Funds that utilize long bias seek to maintain a net long exposure to the market. Portfolio Funds that use a low net approach seek to have a small or no net market exposure. “Highly variable” Portfolio Funds are more opportunistic about net market exposure and do not intend to remain neutral or to maintain a particular directional bias.

(c) Global Macro This class is based upon a portfolio manager’s view of the market direction of currency, commodity, equity and bond prices in the futures and cash markets. Global Macro sub-strategies typically include global trading and emerging markets investments.

(d) Multi-Strategy This class includes Portfolio Funds that invest in securities that invest across multiple distinct hedge fund strategies.

19

Man FRM Alternative Multi-Strategy Fund LLC
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
March 31, 2018

(e) Relative Value This class includes Portfolio Funds that focus on spread relationships between pricing components of financial assets or commodities. They seek to avoid assuming any outright market risk, although spread risk and tail risk may be significant. Relative Value sub-strategies may include volatility arbitrage, statistical arbitrage, event arbitrage, fixed income arbitrage and credit arbitrage.

As of March 31, 2018, the Company had investments in 28 Portfolio Funds. The Company, as an investor in these Portfolio Funds, bears management fees of up to 2.60% (per annum) of the NAV of its ownership interest in the Portfolio Funds, as well as incentive fees or allocations of up to 27.50% of net profits of the Portfolio Funds allocable to the Company. The Company also generally bears a pro rata share of the other expenses of each Portfolio Fund in which it invests. Total expenses borne by the Company as an investor in Portfolio Funds, including incentive fees and allocations, for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018, ranged from approximately 0.00% to 7.78% of the Company's average invested capital in the Portfolio Funds. Incentive fees or allocations for the same fiscal year ranged from approximately 0.00% to 5.34% of the Company's average invested capital in the Portfolio Funds. These percentages will vary over time depending on the allocation of the Company's assets among Portfolio Funds and the actual expenses and investment performance of Portfolio Funds. Although the foregoing ranges of Portfolio Fund expenses are based on audited financial data received from Portfolio Funds, the ranges were not audited by the Company's independent registered public accounting firm.

Aggregate purchases and proceeds from redemptions of interests in Portfolio Funds by the Company for the year ended March 31, 2018 were $23,500,000 and $51,650,029, respectively. There were no unfunded commitments outstanding to Portfolio Funds at March 31, 2018.

Certain Portfolio Funds’ financial statements exclude details of their investment securities portfolios. As of March 31, 2018, the Adviser was unaware of any significant issuer concentration in Portfolio Funds in which the Company was invested.

4. Advisory Fee

The Adviser provides investment advisory services to the Company and incurs research, travel and other expenses related to the selection and monitoring of Portfolio Funds. Further, the Adviser provides certain management and administrative services to the Company, including providing office space and other support services, maintaining files and records, and preparing and filing various regulatory materials. In consideration for such services, the Company pays the Adviser a quarterly advisory fee in arrears computed at an annual rate of 1.5% of the Company's net assets determined as of the first business day of each quarter after adjustment for any subscriptions effective on that date.

For the year ended March 31, 2018, the Company incurred advisory fees totaling $2,492,816, of which $593,932 was payable as of March 31, 2018.

5. Related Party Transactions and Other

As of March 31, 2018, three Members owned in excess of 5% of the Company’s outstanding Units, having an aggregate value equal to approximately 33.40% of the Company’s total net assets and are deemed “affiliated persons” (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the Company. The affiliation between these members and the Company is based solely on such ownership.

20

Man FRM Alternative Multi-Strategy Fund LLC
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
March 31, 2018

Affiliates of the Adviser may have banking, underwriting, lending, brokerage or other business relationships with Portfolio Funds in which the Company invests and with companies in which Portfolio Funds invest.

The Board is comprised of four Managers who are not “interested persons,” as defined by Section 2(a)(19) of the 1940 Act, of the Company (the “Independent Managers”). The Independent Managers each receive an annual retainer of $40,000 for services to the Company. The Independent Managers may be reimbursed for expenses of attendance at each regular or special meeting of the Board or of any committee thereof and for their expenses, if any, in connection with any other service or activity they perform or engage in as Managers. For the year ended March 31, 2018, the Company incurred $160,000 in Independent Managers’ fees, $40,000 of which was payable as of March 31, 2018.

The Company has retained UMB Fund Services, Inc. (the "Administrator") to provide accounting and certain administrative and investor services to the Company. The Administrator is a subsidiary of UMB Financial Corporation.

BNY Mellon Investment Servicing Trust Company serves as custodian of the Company’s assets and provides custody services to the Company.

7. Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk

In the normal course of business, Portfolio Funds in which the Company invests trade various financial instruments and may enter into various investment activities with off-balance sheet risk. These include, but are not limited to, short selling, writing option contracts, and equity swaps. However, as a limited partner, member or shareholder of a Portfolio Fund, the Company’s liability with respect to its investment in the Portfolio Fund is generally limited to the net asset value of its interest.

Because the Company is a closed-end investment company, Units are not redeemable at the option of Members and are not exchangeable for interests of any other fund. Although the Board in its discretion may cause the Company to offer from time to time to repurchase Units from Members, Units are considerably less liquid than shares of funds that trade on a stock exchange or shares of open-end investment companies. With respect to any offer by the Company to repurchase Units, the maximum number of Units to be repurchased is determined by the Board in its discretion and may represent only a small portion of outstanding Units. Because the Company’s investments in

21

Man FRM Alternative Multi-Strategy Fund LLC
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
March 31, 2018

Portfolio Funds themselves have limited liquidity, the Company may not be able to fund significant repurchases. Members whose Units are accepted for repurchase also bear the risk that the NAV per Unit may fluctuate significantly between the time that they must submit their requests for repurchase and the date as of which Units are valued for the purpose of repurchase. Repurchases of units by the Company for the year ended March 31, 2018 are included on the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Net Assets.

As described in the footnotes to the Consolidated Schedule of Investments and in Note 3, some Portfolio Funds have suspended or restricted redemptions of interests, which increases the liquidity risk for the Company. Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with financial liabilities. Liquidity and the Company’s ability to make offers to repurchase Units from Members could be impaired by an inability to access secured or unsecured sources of financing, an inability to sell assets or to redeem interests in Portfolio Funds, or unforeseen outflows of cash. This situation may arise due to circumstances outside of the Company’s control, such as a general market disruption or an operational issue affecting the Company or third parties, including Portfolio Funds. Also, the ability to sell assets may be impaired if other market participants are seeking to sell similar assets at the same time.

The Company's right to redeem interests in Portfolio Funds is limited and can be restricted or suspended. As a result, the Company may not be able to liquidate quickly some of its investments in Portfolio Funds in order to meet liquidity requirements.

There are a number of other risks associated with an investment in the Company. Three principal types of risk that can adversely affect the values of the Company’s investments are market risk, strategy risk, and manager risk. The Company also is subject to multiple manager risks, possible limitations in investment opportunities, allocation risks, lack of diversification, and other risks for the Company and potentially for each Portfolio Fund.

8. Guarantees

In the normal course of business, the Company enters into contracts that provide general indemnifications and under which it has potential obligations to indemnify the Board, the Adviser, and others for losses they may incur in connection with providing services to the Company. The Company’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims for indemnification that may be made against the Company, and therefore, cannot be estimated. However, based on experience, the risk of loss from any such claim is considered remote.

9. Litigation

Effective as of April 1, 2009, Excelsior Multi-Strategy Hedge Fund of Funds (TI), LLC (the “TI Fund”) acquired the assets of BACAP Alternative Multi-Strategy Hedge Fund, LLC (the “BACAP Fund”), a 1940 Act registered management investment company, and transferred these assets to the Company in exchange for the assumption by the Company (formerly known as Excelsior Multi-Strategy Hedge Fund of Funds, LLC and prior to that, formerly known as Excelsior Multi-Strategy Hedge Fund of Funds Master Fund, LLC) of all known liabilities of the BACAP Fund. Effective December 31, 2012, the Company merged with certain other funds that formerly pursued their investment objectives by investing in

22

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
March 31, 2018

the Company. One of those other funds, the TI Fund, was determined to be the surviving entity in the merger for financial reporting purposes.

On September 1, 2017, the trustee (the “Trustee”) for Petters Company Inc. (“Petters”) filed a Complaint (the “Complaint”) styled Kelley v. Aegis v. Holdings (Onshore Inc.) fbo BACAP Multi-Strategy Hedge Fund, LLC et al., No. 17-04109 (Bankr. D. Minn. Sept. 1, 2017) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Minnesota. By the Complaint, the Trustee commenced an adversary action (the “Action”) in the bankruptcy proceedings for Petters, arising out of the widely-publicized Ponzi scheme perpetrated by Petters. The Complaint asserts claims against (i) the Company, named as Aegis Holdings (Onshore Inc.) fbo BACAP Multi-Strategy Hedge Fund, LLC; (ii) BACAP Alternative Montage Fund LLC; and (iii) BACAP Multi-Strategy Hedge Fund, LLC - Series I (n/k/a Man FRM Alternative Multi-Strategy Fund QP a Series of Man FRM Multi-Strategy Fund LLC) (collectively, the “Defendants”). The Complaint asserts that Defendants are liable for alleged fraudulent transfers occurring in 2004 and 2005 relating to investments made in the early 2000s by Defendants in another fund which other fund, in turn, invested indirectly in a vehicle connected to Petters. In the aggregate, the Complaint seeks recovery of $37,749,468 allegedly traceable to the Petters-related vehicle from Defendants. Defendants are represented by Norton Rose Fulbright US LLP in the Action, and are defending the Action vigorously.

The Action is in the initial stage of litigation. The parties have begun the discovery process. The current deadline to complete fact discovery is July 31, 2018; the deadline to complete expert discovery is September 28, 2018; and a pretrial conference is scheduled for November 28, 2018.  At this time no depositions have been requested, no mediation date has been requested, and no trial date has been set.

Because the Action is in its initial stage, at this point, it is not possible to estimate (a) the likelihood that any claims against any Defendant will proceed to trial; (b) the likelihood that any such claims would result in a judgment of liability against any Defendant; nor (c) the amount of any such judgment. It is therefore not possible to estimate whether the Company’s liability, if any, in connection with the Action may be material. Accordingly, the Company has not accrued any liability in connection with the Action.

The Company is a beneficiary of certain indemnification arrangements pursuant to which any amounts which may be claimed by the Trustee against the Company relating to Petters are to be paid by the former manager of the Company. The relevant contracts establishing these arrangements are confidential. Pursuant to the indemnification arrangements, if (a) any claims in the Action proceed to trial; (b) a judgment is entered against the Company as a result of such trial; and (c) the judgment imposes a material amount of liability on the Company, the former manager, and not the Company, will be obligated to pay any such judgment. The Company faces the residual risk that the former manager could default on its indemnification obligations. However, the Advisor considers this risk to be remote, because (i) the former manager has acknowledged its indemnification obligations, including by assuming the defense of the Action on behalf of the Company at no expense to the Company or to the Advisor, and (ii) based on publicly-available information, the former manager’s capitalization substantially exceeds the amount in dispute in the Action.

10. Subsequent Events

The Company has evaluated all subsequent events through the date on which these financial statements were issued and, except as noted below, has determined that no additional disclosures are required.

March 31, 2018

On March 30, 2018, the Company commenced an offer (the “Offer”) to purchase up to $29,600,000 of outstanding Units from Members at NAV. The per Unit price to be paid by the Company for Units purchased in the Offer will be the NAV per Unit determined as of June 30, 2018. The Offer expired on April 26, 2018. Approximately $6,089,475 of outstanding Units (based on March 31, 2018 NAV) were validly tendered and not withdrawn prior to the expiration of the Offer, and were accepted for purchase by the Company in accordance with the terms of the Offer by the Company.

On May 4, 2018, the Company paid $11,852,788 for 8,271.929 Units purchased from Members on March 31, 2018. This payment amount differs from the amount shown on the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities as “Repurchase of Members’ units payable” due to the amounts held back from payments made to Members who tendered all of their Units for repurchase.

Approval of Advisory Agreement (Unaudited)

Board Approval of Continuation of Advisory Agreement

At a meeting held in person on March 16, 2018, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Managers, approved the continuation of the Company's investment advisory agreement (the "Advisory Agreement") with the Adviser for an additional one year period. The Independent Managers were assisted in their consideration of this matter by independent legal counsel and, in connection with their deliberations, met in an executive session with such counsel separate from representatives of the Adviser.

In considering this matter, the Board reviewed various written materials provided by the Adviser, including: performance information on investment funds with similar investment programs and strategies to the Company; expense ratios of comparable registered investment companies; and information relating to the costs and profitability of the Adviser from its relationship with the Company (the "Profitability Analysis"). No single factor was considered in isolation nor identified by the Board as the principal factor in determining whether to approve the continuation of the Advisory Agreement.

The Board discussed and reviewed the nature, scope and quality of services that the Adviser provides to the Company. In this regard, the Board considered information furnished to it relating to the structure, experience and capabilities of the Adviser, including technology, personnel resources, compliance resources and operational support, which support the services provided by the Adviser to the Company. The Board also considered the financial resources of the Adviser (to the extent that may affect the ability of the Adviser to deliver all required services to the Company) and reviewed the experience and qualifications of key personnel of the Adviser, including biographical information regarding such personnel. In addition, it reviewed information relating to the Adviser and its parent, Man Group. The Board determined, based upon its consideration of these matters and materials, that: the Company has been receiving all required services from the Adviser; the Adviser has appropriate resources and infrastructure to continue to provide all required services to the Company; and the Adviser has provided high quality services to the Company.

In considering the quality of services provided by the Adviser the Board considered information relating to the investment performance of the Company, including information comparing the investment performance of the Company to the investment performance of a peer group of comparable funds of hedge funds. The peer group was comprised of: (i) other registered and privately placed funds offered on the Adviser's platform with similar investment strategies to the Company; and (ii) comparable 1940 Act registered funds of hedge funds managed by other investment advisers. The Board noted that the investment performance of the Company was at the low end of the range of the performance of the peer group funds for the one-year, three-year and five-year periods ended December 31, 2017, but also observed that the Company's performance during the one-year period ended December 31, 2017 exceeded the return of the HFRI FOF: Conservative Index, which is an index representing the performance of funds of hedge funds that generally engage in conservative investment strategies. In addition, the Board considered the discussion with representatives of management earlier in the meeting regarding the Company's performance. It was further noted that the Company has been managed by the Adviser only since April 1, 2015 and that, upon assuming responsibility as the investment adviser of the Company, the Adviser had implemented a program pursuant to which it restructured the

25

Man FRM Alternative Multi-Strategy Fund LLC
Approval of Advisory Agreement (Unaudited)
March 31, 2018

Company's investment portfolio with the goal of improving the investment performance of the Company over the longer term. In addition, the Board noted that the Adviser has managed the Company's investment portfolio in a manner consistent with the investment objective and policies of the Company. In evaluating the Company's investment performance, the Board also considered information relating to the investment programs of certain of the peer group funds provided at the meeting by representatives of the Adviser. Based on such information and these considerations, the Board determined that it was satisfied with the quality of investment advisory services provided to the Company pursuant to the Advisory Agreement.

The Board also considered information comparing the fees and expenses of the Company to those of other similar registered funds of hedge funds. In this regard, it determined that the advisory fee of the Company is within the range of those of similar funds and that the Company's expense ratio in 2017 was within the range of peer group funds. It was also noted that the Company's expenses ratio for 2017 had decreased from the previous year.

The Board reviewed and discussed the Profitability Analysis, including the Adviser's methodology for determining its costs of providing services to the Company and the profits realized by the Adviser under the Advisory Agreement. After reviewing the Profitability Analysis and other information discussed at the meeting, the Board determined that the Adviser's profitability attributable to the Company was not so disproportionately large that it bore no reasonable relationship to the services rendered and also determined that, given the Adviser's service level, the current profitability to the Adviser was not excessive. The other potential benefits that the Adviser may obtain as a consequence of its relationship with the Company were considered and the Board concluded, based on information provided and its discussion with representatives of the Adviser, that the Adviser does not receive any significant indirect benefits from its relationship with the Company.

With regard to economies of scale, the Board recognized that economies of scale in an adviser's costs of providing services to a fund may be realized when there is significant increase in a fund's net assets and that, in such cases, it is appropriate to consider whether the benefits of those economies are being shared appropriately with the fund and its investors. In this regard, the Board noted that the net assets of the Company have declined over the past year. Therefore, the Board concluded that the Company's existing asset level does not at this time warrant the introduction of any reduction or break point in the rate at which the Company's advisory fee is computed.

Based on the foregoing considerations, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Managers, determined to continue in effect the Advisory Agreement for an additional annual period.

ITEM 2. CODE OF ETHICS.

The Registrant has adopted a code of ethics that applies to the Registrant's principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller or persons performing similar functions. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018, there were no amendments to a provision of the code of ethics that relates to any element of code of ethics definition, nor were there any waivers granted from a provision of the code of ethics. A copy of the Registrant's code of ethics is filed with this form N-CSR under Item 12(a)(1).

ITEM 3. AUDIT COMMITTEE FINANCIAL EXPERT.

The Board of Managers of the Registrant has determined that Stephen V. Murphy, possesses the technical attributes identified in Instruction 2(b) of Item 3 to Form N-CSR to qualify as an "audit committee financial expert", and has designated Mr. Murphy as the Audit Committee's financial expert. Mr. Murphy is an "independent" Manager pursuant to paragraph (a)(2) of Item 3 on Form N-CSR.

ITEM 4. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES.

(a) Audit Fees

The aggregate fees billed for professional services rendered by the Registrant's principal accountant for the audit of the Registrant's annual financial statements and for services that are normally provided by the Registrant’s principal accountant in connection with the statutory and regulatory filings for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2017 and March 31, 2018 were $180,000 and $180,000, respectively.

(b) Audit-Related Fees

There were no audit related services provided by the principal accountant to the Registrant for the last two fiscal years.

(c) Tax Fees

The fees billed to the Registrant by the principal accountant for the audit of the Registrant's annual financial statements for tax compliance, tax advice or tax planning services relating to the preparation of the Registrant’s tax returns for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2017 and March 31, 2018 were $92,000 and $92,000, respectively.

(d) All Other Fees

The principal accountant billed no other fees to the Registrant during the last two fiscal years.

(e) (1) During its regularly scheduled periodic meetings, the Registrant's audit committee will pre-approve all audit, audit-related, tax and other services to be provided by the principal accountants of the Registrant. The audit committee has delegated pre-approval authority to its Chairman for any subsequent new engagements that arise between regularly scheduled meeting dates provided that any such pre-approved fees are presented to the audit committee at its next regularly scheduled meeting.

(e) (2) None

(f) Not applicable

(g) During the fiscal years ending March 31, 2018 and March 31, 2017, fees billed by the Registrant’s principal accountant for non-audit services (inclusive of tax fees) rendered to the Registrant were $92,000 and $92,000, respectively.   During the fiscal years ending March 31, 2018 and March 31, 2017, fees billed by the Registrant’s principal accountant for non-audit services provided to the Registrant’s investment adviser (not including any sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another investment adviser) and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant were $5,257,872 and $5,958,943, respectively.

(h) The Registrant's audit committee has considered whether the provision of non-audit services that may be rendered to the Registrant's investment adviser, and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the Registrant that were not pre-approved pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(ii) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X is compatible with maintaining the principal account's independence. No such services were rendered.

ITEM 5. AUDIT COMMITTEE OF LISTED REGISTRANTS.

Not applicable.

ITEM 6. SCHEDULE OF INVESTMENTS.

The Schedule of Investments is included as part of the report to members filed under Item 1 of this form.

ITEM 7. DISCLOSURE OF PROXY VOTING POLICIES AND PROCEDURES FOR CLOSED-END MANAGEMENT INVESTMENT COMPANIES.

The Registrant's investment adviser (the "Adviser") has adopted proxy voting policies and procedures to ensure that any proxy voted on behalf of its clients is voted in a manner which is in the best interests of such clients pursuant to Advisers Act Rule 206(4)-6.

The investment managers of underlying portfolio funds have trading discretion for those funds and are responsible for voting proxies in accordance with their policies. In certain instances the Adviser may choose to vote proxies. The Adviser's senior management oversees and manages the process by which it votes client securities.

Generally, the Adviser will make all decisions about how to vote a proxy with respect to a client on a case-by-case basis in accordance with the best economic interests of the client, including stated investment objectives, applicable statutory and regulatory requirements, client agreements, and the related factors that the Adviser believes to be appropriate and consistent with its fiduciary duties to its clients. The Adviser generally will vote proxies as recommended by an issuer’s management, unless it determines that voting in accordance with management’s recommendation would adversely affect the investment merits of owning the securities or if a proposal does not otherwise appear to be in the best interests of the client. There may be times when refraining from voting a proxy is in the client’s best interest, such as when the cost of voting exceeds the expected benefit to the client. The Adviser's proxy voting policy also addresses material conflicts of interest that may arise between the Adviser and its clients with respect to voting of client securities.

With respect to any clients that are subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”) for which the Adviser is an investment manager, the Adviser will act prudently and solely in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of such ERISA client. The Adviser will only vote proxies on securities currently held by clients. Proxies received for securities that are loaned will generally not be voted.

With respect to closed-end registered investment companies, the Adviser will be responsible for voting proxies and reporting the manner in which such proxies are voted on an annual basis.

The Adviser will endeavor to identify material conflicts of interest, if any, which may arise between the Adviser and companies with respect to voting proxies to ensure that all proxies are voted in the overall best interest of its clients.

ITEM 8. PORTFOLIO MANAGERS OF CLOSED-END MANAGEMENT INVESTMENT COMPANIES

(a) (1) Identification of Portfolio Manager(s) or Management Team Members and Description of Role of Portfolio Manager(s) or Management Team Members - As of the date of the filing.

Mr. Jens Foehrenbach is the portfolio manager (the “Portfolio Manager”) primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of the registrant’s portfolio, subject to such policies as may be adopted by the Board of Managers.

(a) (2) Other Accounts Managed by Portfolio Manager(s) or Management Team Member and Potential Conflicts of Interest

Other Accounts Managed by Portfolio Manager(s) or Management Team Member - As of April 30, 2018:

Registered Investment Companies Managed		Pooled Vehicles Managed		Other Accounts Managed
Number	Total Assets	Number	Total Assets	Number	Total Assets
0	N/A	5	$1,124,126,656	1	237,109,986

0	N/A	0	$0	0	N/A

Potential Material Conflicts of Interest

Real, potential or apparent conflicts of interest may arise should Mr. Foehrenbach have day-to-day portfolio management responsibilities with respect to more than one fund. Mr. Foehrenbach may manage other accounts with investment strategies similar to the Registrant, including other investment companies, pooled investment vehicles and separately managed accounts. Fees earned by the Adviser may vary among these accounts and Mr. Foehrenbach may personally invest in these accounts. These factors could create conflicts of interest because Mr. Foehrenbach

may have incentives to favor certain accounts over others, resulting in other accounts outperforming the Registrant. A conflict may also exist if Mr. Foehrenbach identifies a limited investment opportunity that may be appropriate for more than one account, but the Registrant is not able to take full advantage of that opportunity due to the need to allocate that opportunity among multiple accounts. In addition, Mr. Foehrenbach may execute transactions for another account that may adversely impact the value of securities held by the Registrant. However, the Adviser believes that these risks are mitigated by the fact that accounts with like investment strategies managed by Mr. Foehrenbach are generally managed in a similar fashion and the Adviser has a policy that seeks to allocate opportunities on a fair and equitable basis.

(a) (3) Compensation Structure of Portfolio Manager(s) or Management Team Members

- As of April 1, 2018:

Mr. Foehrenbach's compensation consists of a combination of a fixed salary and a discretionary bonus. The discretionary bonus is not tied directly to the performance of, or value of assets, of the Registrant or any other fund managed by the Adviser. The amount of bonus paid to Mr. Foehrenbach is based on a variety of factors, including, without limitation, the financial performance of the Registrant, personal performance including the execution of managerial responsibilities, client interactions, support and general teamwork.

Ownership of Fund Securities

As of April 1, 2018, Mr. Foehrenbach does not directly own any Interests in the Registrant.

ITEM 9. PURCHASE OF EQUITY SECURITIES BY CLOSE-END MANAGEMENT INVESTMENT COMPANY AND AFFILIATED PURCHASERS.

Not applicable.

ITEM 10. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS.
