TABLE OF CONTENTS
PMF Fund, L.P.
Dear PMF Partners:
It has been an eventful year for The PMF Fund, L.P. (the “Fund”)1 and for the core alternative strategies it accesses on behalf of investors. We hope to achieve three objectives with this letter: We will provide a review of the Fund’s private equity performance for the year, recap the restructuring that was put into place last March, and lastly, provide a status on liquidation.
![LOGO](https://capedge.com/proxy/N-CSR/0001193125-15-085604/g859693g66w42.jpg)
Private Equity Portfolio Performance since Inception
The Fund returned 6.39% in 2014 since inception, which outpaced the HFRI FOF Composite Index by 3.59%. The year’s performance was driven by the second and third quarters with marks of 2.29% and 3.80%, respectively. The mid-year performance was appreciated given the December slow-down surrounding oil’s drop in price and the subsequent market volatility.
The mid-year success is attributed to the Energy and Private Equity asset classes that did well during the summer months surrounding a few successful oil and gas exploration and production IPOs and corresponding asset write-ups. The Private Equity and Energy asset classes added 5.03% and 0.96%, respectively, to the overall portfolio since inception (as a reminder, performance contribution is calculated by multiplying the return of the asset class by its allocation within the portfolio). The Energy asset class drew down 0.97% in December with the increased commodity volatility.
1 The assets represented above were previously held by The Endowment Fund and were allocated to the PMF Fund on its inception date of April 1, 2014.

Fund Split and Liquidation Update
As you may recall, we successfully completed the Investor Choice Plan (the “Plan”) in May of last year, moving your interest in The Endowment Fund to the PMF Fund effective as of April 1, 2014. This process was a long and complex one, and we appreciate your patience as we worked to successfully execute the Plan. As of the effective date of the split, the PMF Fund had over 6,000 investors and a total Net Asset Value of approximately $1.72 billion. We are pleased to report that, as of year-end, the Fund has returned nearly 36% of the 3/31/14 NAV to PMF Fund investors with distributions in excess of $600 million.
The Fund will work to generate cash for distribution to investors in 2015 under the terms of the Plan. The remainder of the liquid hedge fund portfolio is expected to be liquidated over the course of the year, subject to the agreements of the underlying funds, which we believe will help boost distributions in the near term. In addition, we are happy to report that the Fund’s illiquid portfolio has been cash flow positive since the execution of the Plan, meaning it generated distributions in excess of capital calls. We appreciate your patience as the Fund continues to implement the Plan and passes liquidity through to investors from the hedge fund and illiquid portfolios in 2015.
We thank you for your continued support. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call our service desk at 1-800-725-9456.
Kindest Regards,
Endowment Advisers, L.P.2

PMF TEI FUND, L.P.
(A Limited Partnership)
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2014
(1) ORGANIZATION
PMF TEI Fund, L.P. (the “TEI Fund”), a Delaware limited partnership registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), commenced operations on March 31, 2014, as a non-diversified, closed-end management investment company. The TEI Fund was created to serve as a feeder fund for PMF TEI Offshore Fund, Ltd. (the “Offshore Fund”), which in turn is a feeder fund for The Endowment PMF Master Fund, L.P. (the “Master Fund”). There are currently three feeder funds (the “Feeder Funds”). For convenience, reference to the TEI Fund may include the Offshore Fund and Master Fund, as the context requires.
The TEI Fund’s investment objective is to manage a portfolio of investment funds including, but not limited to, limited partnerships, limited liability companies, offshore corporations, other foreign investment vehicles (collectively, the “Investment Funds”), and cash to preserve value while prioritizing liquidity to investors over active management, until such time as the Master Fund’s portfolio has been liquidated. The Master Fund holds a portfolio of Investment Funds, reflecting an approximate pro rata division of the portfolio of The Endowment Master Fund, L.P. (the “Legacy Master Fund”), managed in a broad range of investment strategies and asset categories. The Adviser, as hereinafter defined, manages the Master Fund portfolio primarily in a passive manner whereby the Master Fund holds to self-liquidating private equity and other similar illiquid interests in Investment Funds and oversees the liquidation of other Investment Funds that provide for redemption while managing the Master Fund’s cash to ensure the Master Fund has the ability to satisfy outstanding capital commitments relating to such portfolio holdings. The Master Fund’s financial statements, included elsewhere in this report, should be read in conjunction with this report. The Offshore Fund serves solely as an intermediary for the TEI Fund’s investment in the Master Fund. The percentage of the Master Fund’s partnership interests indirectly owned by the TEI Fund on December 31, 2014, was 31.15%.
The Endowment Fund GP, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, serves as the general partner of the TEI Fund, the Master Fund and the Legacy Master Fund (the “General Partner”). To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the General Partner has irrevocably delegated to a board of directors (the “Board” and each member a “Director”) its rights and powers to monitor and oversee the business affairs of the TEI Fund, including the complete and exclusive authority to oversee and establish policies regarding the management, conduct, and operation of the TEI Fund’s business. A majority of the members of the Board are independent of the General Partner and its management. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Board may delegate any of its rights, powers and authority to, among others, the officers of the TEI Fund, the Adviser, or any committee of the Board.
The Board is authorized to engage an investment adviser and it has selected Endowment Advisers, L.P. (the “Adviser”), to manage the TEI Fund’s portfolio and operations, pursuant to an investment management agreement (the “Investment Management Agreement”). The Adviser is a Delaware limited partnership that is registered as an investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended. Under the Investment Management Agreement, the Adviser is responsible for the establishment of an investment committee, which is responsible for developing, implementing, and supervising the TEI Fund’s investment program subject to the ultimate supervision of the Board. In addition to investment advisory services, the Adviser also functions as the servicing agent of the TEI Fund (the “Servicing Agent”) and as such provides or procures investor services and administrative assistance for the TEI Fund. The Adviser can delegate all or a portion of its duties as Servicing Agent to other parties, who would in turn act as sub-servicing agents.
Under the TEI Fund’s organizational documents, the TEI Fund’s officers and Directors are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the TEI Fund. In the normal course of
8
PMF TEI FUND, L.P.
(A Limited Partnership)
Notes to Financial Statements, continued
December 31, 2014
business, the TEI Fund enters into contracts with service providers, which also provide for indemnifications by the TEI Fund. The TEI Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve any future potential claims that may be made against the TEI Fund. However, based on experience, the General Partner expects that risk of loss to be remote.
On March 31, 2014 the Master Fund received in an in-kind transfer a portfolio of Investment Funds from the Legacy Master Fund, in exchange for limited partnership interests (the “Interests”) of the Master Fund totaling $1,723,272,229. The transfer was accounted for as a tax-free transaction resulting in Investment Funds transferring to the Master Fund with a total market value of $1,490,836,309, consisting of total cost and accumulated appreciation of $1,317,376,887 and $173,459,422, respectively, and cash and other assets of $232,135,920. Partners in four feeder funds to the Legacy Master Fund elected to transfer $882,298,855 of Interests to the TEI Fund.
(2) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND PRACTICES
(a) BASIS OF ACCOUNTING
The accounting and reporting policies of the TEI Fund conform with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). The accompanying financial statements reflect the financial position of the TEI Fund and the results of its operations. The TEI Fund is an investment company and follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946, “Financial Services-Investment Companies”.
(b) CASH EQUIVALENTS
The TEI Fund considers all unpledged temporary cash investments with a maturity date at the time of purchase of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
(c) INVESTMENT SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS
The TEI Fund records monthly, its pro-rata share of income, expenses, changes in unrealized appreciation and depreciation, and realized gains and losses derived from the Offshore Fund.
The TEI Fund records investment transactions on a trade-date basis.
Investments that are held by the TEI Fund are marked to fair value at the date of the financial statements, and the corresponding change in unrealized appreciation/depreciation is included in the Statement of Operations.
(d) INVESTMENT VALUATION
The valuation of the TEI Fund’s investments is determined as of the close of business at the end of each reporting period, generally monthly. The valuation of the TEI Fund’s investments is calculated by Citi Fund Services Ohio, Inc., the TEI Fund’s independent administrator (the “Administrator”).
The Board has formed a valuation committee (the “Board Valuation Committee”) that is responsible for overseeing the TEI Fund’s valuation policies, making recommendations to the Board on valuation-related matters, and overseeing implementation by the Adviser of such valuation policies.
The Board has authorized the Adviser to establish a valuation committee of the Adviser (the “Adviser Valuation Committee”). The Adviser Valuation Committee’s function, subject to the oversight of the Board
9
PMF TEI FUND, L.P.
(A Limited Partnership)
Notes to Financial Statements, continued
December 31, 2014
Valuation Committee and the Board, is generally to review valuation methodologies, valuation determinations, and any information provided to the Adviser Valuation Committee by the Adviser or the Administrator.
The TEI Fund invests substantially all of its assets in the Offshore Fund, which in turn invests substantially all of its assets in the Master Fund. Investments in the Master Fund are recorded at fair value based on the TEI Fund’s proportional share of the Master Fund’s partners’ capital, through the Offshore Fund. Valuation of the investments held by the Master Fund is discussed in the Master Fund’s notes to financial statements, included elsewhere in this report.
(e) INVESTMENT INCOME
For investments in securities, dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, net of withholding taxes. Interest income is recorded as earned on the accrual basis and includes amortization of premiums or accretion of discounts.
(f) FUND EXPENSES
Unless otherwise voluntarily or contractually assumed by the Adviser or another party, the TEI Fund bears all expenses incurred in its business, directly or indirectly through its investment in the Master Fund (through the Offshore Fund), including but not limited to, the following: all costs and expenses related to investment transactions and positions for the TEI Fund’s account; legal fees; accounting, auditing and tax preparation fees; recordkeeping and custodial fees; costs of computing the TEI Fund’s net asset value; fees for data and software providers; research expenses; costs of insurance; registration expenses; expenses of meetings of the partners; directors fees; all costs with respect to communications to partners; offshore withholding taxes; and other types of expenses as may be approved from time to time by the Board.
(g) INCOME TAXES
The TEI Fund is organized and operates as a limited partnership and is not subject to income taxes as a separate entity. Such taxes are the responsibility of the individual partners. Accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been made in the TEI Fund’s financial statements. Investments in foreign securities may result in foreign taxes being withheld by the issuer of such securities.
For the current open tax year ended December 31, 2014, and for all major jurisdictions, management of the TEI Fund has evaluated the tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the TEI Fund’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions will “more-likely-than-not” be sustained by the TEI Fund upon challenge by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold and that would result in a tax benefit or expense to the TEI Fund would be recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current period. For the period March 31, 2014 (commencement of operations) through December 31, 2014, the TEI Fund did not recognize any amounts for unrecognized tax benefit/expense. A reconciliation of unrecognized tax benefit/expense is not provided herein, as the beginning and ending amounts of unrecognized tax benefit/expense are zero, with no interim additions, reductions or settlements. Tax positions taken in the current tax year ended December 31, 2014 which remains open under the statute of limitations (generally three years for federal income tax purposes) are subject to examination by federal and state tax jurisdictions.
(h) USE OF ESTIMATES
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP, which requires management to make estimates and assumptions relating to the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of
10
PMF TEI FUND, L.P.
(A Limited Partnership)
Notes to Financial Statements, continued
December 31, 2014
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates and such differences may be significant.
(3) FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The TEI Fund records its investment in the Offshore Fund, which in turn invests substantially all of its assets in the Master Fund, at fair value. Investments of the Master Fund are recorded at fair value as more fully discussed in the Master Fund’s notes to financial statements, included elsewhere in this report.
(4) PARTNERS’ CAPITAL ACCOUNTS
(a) ISSUANCE OF INTERESTS
Interests of the TEI Fund are generally available only to those investors who received Interests as in-kind repurchase proceeds for their tendered interests in one of the feeder funds to the Legacy Master Fund. Interests of the TEI Fund will generally not otherwise be offered or sold.
(b) ALLOCATION OF PROFITS AND LOSSES
For each fiscal period, generally monthly, net profits or net losses of the TEI Fund, including allocations from the Master Fund, are allocated among and credited to or debited against the capital accounts of all members as of the last day of each fiscal period in accordance with the members’ respective capital account ownership percentage for the fiscal period. Net profits or net losses are measured as the net change in the value of the net assets of the TEI Fund, including any change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation of investments and income, net of expenses, and realized gains or losses during a fiscal period.
(c) REPURCHASE OF INTERESTS
A partner will not be eligible to have the TEI Fund repurchase all or any portion of an Interest at the partner’s discretion at any time. Interests are not redeemable nor are they exchangeable for Interests or shares of any other fund.
The Master Fund anticipates making quarterly distributions pro rata to all investors in an amount equal to the Master Fund’s excess cash (“Excess Cash”). Excess Cash is defined as the amount of cash on hand over and above the amount necessary or prudent for operational and regulatory purposes (“Required Cash”). The amount of Required Cash is determined by the Adviser with oversight by the Board. Excess Cash is generally distributed in the subsequent quarter or quarters where the aggregate of Excess Cash from such subsequent quarter(s) and prior quarters exceeds a threshold of $10 million. Intra-quarter distributions may also be made if Excess Cash exceeds a threshold of $25 million as of the forty fifth day after the end of any quarter. The Master Fund may make in-kind distributions of portfolio securities as deemed necessary.
(5) INVESTMENTS IN PORTFOLIO SECURITIES
As of December 31, 2014, all of the investments made by the TEI Fund were in the Master Fund (through the Offshore Fund).
11
PMF TEI FUND, L.P.
(A Limited Partnership)
Notes to Financial Statements, continued
December 31, 2014
(6) FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK
In the normal course of business, the Investment Funds in which the TEI Fund may invest either directly or through the Offshore Fund and Master Fund may trade various derivative securities and other financial instruments, and enter into various investment activities with off-balance sheet risk both as an investor and as a principal. The TEI Fund’s risk of loss in these Investment Funds is limited to the TEI Fund’s pro rata share of the value of its investment in or commitment to such Investment Funds as held directly or through the Offshore Fund and Master Fund.
(7) ADMINISTRATION AGREEMENT
In consideration for administrative, accounting, and recordkeeping services, the Master Fund pays the Administrator a monthly administration fee based on the month-end partners’ capital of the Master Fund. The Administrator also provides the TEI Fund, the Offshore Fund and the Master Fund with legal, compliance, transfer agency, and other investor related services at an additional cost.
The fees for TEI Fund administration are paid out of the Master Fund’s assets, which decreases the net profits or increases the net losses of the partners in the TEI Fund.
(8) RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
(a) INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT FEE
In consideration of the advisory and other services provided by the Adviser to the Master Fund and the TEI Fund, the Master Fund pays the Adviser an investment management fee (the “Investment Management Fee”) equal to 0.70% on an annualized basis of the Master Fund’s partners’ capital at the end of each month, payable monthly in arrears, for the six quarters following March 31, 2014, and 0.40% on an annualized basis for periods thereafter until the period ending March 31, 2024, when the Adviser will no longer receive the Investment Management Fee.
The TEI Fund’s partners bear an indirect portion of the Investment Management Fee paid by the Master Fund. The Investment Management Fee decreases the net profits or increases the net losses of the Master Fund and indirectly the TEI Fund as the fees reduce the capital accounts of the Master Fund’s partners.
(b) SERVICING FEE
In consideration for providing or procuring investor services and administrative assistance to the TEI Fund, the Adviser receives a servicing fee (the “Servicing Fee”) equal to 0.50% (on an annualized basis) of each partner’s capital account balance, calculated at the end of each month, payable quarterly in arrears, for the six quarters following March 31, 2014, and 0.40% (on an annualized basis) for periods thereafter until the period ending March 31, 2024, when the Adviser will no longer receive a Servicing Fee.
The Adviser may engage one or more sub-servicing agents to provide some or all of the services. Compensation to any sub-servicing agent is paid by the Adviser. The Adviser or its affiliates also may pay a fee out of their own resources to sub-servicing agents.
For the period March 31, 2014 (commencement of operations) through December 31, 2014, $1,709,270 was incurred for Servicing Fees.

(9) FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
| | | | |
| | For the period from March 31, 2014 through December 31, 20141 | |
Net investment loss to average partners’ capital2 | | | (2.11 | )% |
Expenses to average partners’ capital2 | | | 3.10 | % |
Portfolio turnover3 | | | 5.28 | % |
Internal rate of return since inception4 | | | (9.73 | )% |
Partners’ capital, end of period (000s) | | $ | 375,736 | |
An investor’s return (and operating ratios) may vary from those reflected based on the timing of capital transactions.
1 | The PMF TEI Fund, L.P. commenced operations on March 31, 2014. |
2 | Ratios are calculated by dividing the indicated amount by average partners’ capital measured at the end of each month during the period. Ratios include allocations of net investment loss and expenses from the Offshore Fund and the Master Fund. These ratios have been annualized for periods less than twelve months. |
3 | The TEI Fund is invested exclusively in the Offshore Fund which in turn is invested solely in the Master Fund, therefore this ratio reflects the portfolio turnover of the Master Fund, which is for the period indicated. |
4 | The internal rate of return since inception (“IRR”) of the limited partners is net of all fees and profit allocations to the Adviser. The IRR was computed based on the actual dates of the cash inflows (capital contributions), cash outflows (cash distributions), and the ending partners’ capital as of December 31, 2014 (the residual value).

Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2014
(1) ORGANIZATION
The Endowment PMF Master Fund, L.P. (the “Master Fund”), a Delaware limited partnership, commenced operations on March 31, 2014. The Master Fund is registered as a non-diversified, closed-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The Master Fund is the master fund in a master-feeder structure in which there are currently three feeder funds.
The Master Fund’s investment objective is to manage a portfolio of investment funds including, but not limited to, limited partnerships, limited liability companies, offshore corporations, other foreign investment vehicles (collectively, the “Investment Funds”), and cash to preserve value while prioritizing liquidity to investors over active management, until such time as the Master Fund’s portfolio has been liquidated. The Master Fund holds a portfolio of Investment Funds, reflecting an approximate pro rata division of the portfolio of The Endowment Master Fund, L.P. (the “Legacy Master Fund”), managed in a broad range of investment strategies and asset categories. The Adviser, as hereinafter defined, manages the Master Fund portfolio primarily in a passive manner whereby the Master Fund holds to self-liquidating private equity and other similar illiquid interests in Investment Funds and oversees the liquidation of other Investment Funds that provide for redemption while managing the Master Fund’s cash to ensure the Master Fund has the ability to satisfy outstanding capital commitments relating to such portfolio holdings.
The Endowment Fund GP, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, serves as the general partner of the Master Fund and the Legacy Master Fund (the “General Partner”). To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the General Partner has irrevocably delegated to a board of directors (the “Board” and each member a “Director”) its rights and powers to monitor and oversee the business affairs of the Master Fund, including the complete and exclusive authority to oversee and establish policies regarding the management, conduct, and operation of the Master Fund’s business. A majority of the members of the Board are independent of the General Partner and its management. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Board may delegate any of its rights, powers and authority to, among others, the officers of the Master Fund, the Adviser, or any committee of the Board.
The Board is authorized to engage an investment adviser, and pursuant to an investment management agreement, (the “Investment Management Agreement”), it has selected Endowment Advisers, L.P. (the “Adviser”), to manage the Master Fund’s portfolio and operations. The Adviser is a Delaware limited partnership that is registered as an investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended. Under the Investment Management Agreement, the Adviser is responsible for the establishment of an investment committee (the “Investment Committee”), which is responsible for developing, implementing, and supervising the Master Fund’s investment program subject to the ultimate supervision of the Board.
Under the Master Fund’s organizational documents, the Master Fund’s Directors and officers are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Master Fund. In the normal course of business, the Master Fund enters into contracts with service providers, which also provide for indemnifications by the Master Fund. The Master Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve any future potential claims that may be made against the Master Fund. However, based on experience, the General Partner expects that risk of loss to be remote.
On March 31, 2014 the Master Fund received in an in-kind transfer a portfolio of Investment Funds from the Legacy Master Fund, in exchange for limited partnership interests (the “Interests”) of the Master Fund totaling $1,723,272,229. The transfer was accounted for as a tax-free transaction resulting in Investment Funds transferring to the Master Fund with a total market value of $1,490,836,309, consisting of total cost and accumulated appreciation of $1,317,376,887 and $173,459,422, respectively, and cash and other assets of $232,435,920.

(2) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND PRACTICES
(a) BASIS OF ACCOUNTING
The accounting and reporting policies of the Master Fund conform with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). The accompanying financial statements reflect the financial position of the Master Fund and the results of its operations. The Master Fund is an investment company and follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946, “Financial Services-Investment Companies”.
(b) CASH EQUIVALENTS
The Master Fund considers all unpledged temporary cash investments with a maturity date at the time of purchase of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
(c) INVESTMENT SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS
The Master Fund records investment transactions on a trade-date basis.
Investments that are held by the Master Fund, including those that have been sold short, are marked to fair value at the date of the financial statements, and the corresponding change in unrealized appreciation/depreciation is included in the Statement of Operations.
Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Other investment fund distributions are recorded based on the detail provided with the distribution notice, as applicable. Realized gains or losses on the disposition of investments are accounted for based on the first in first out method.
(d) INVESTMENT VALUATION
The valuation of the Master Fund’s investments is determined as of the close of business at the end of each reporting period, generally monthly. The valuation of the Master Fund’s investments is calculated by Citi Fund Services Ohio, Inc., the Master Fund’s independent administrator (the “Administrator”).
The Board has formed a valuation committee (the “Board Valuation Committee”) that is responsible for overseeing the Master Fund’s valuation policies, making recommendations to the Board on valuation-related matters, and overseeing implementation by the Adviser of such valuation policies.
The Board has authorized the Adviser to establish a valuation committee of the Adviser (the “Adviser Valuation Committee”). The Adviser Valuation Committee’s function, subject to the oversight of the Board Valuation Committee and the Board, is generally to review valuation methodologies, valuation determinations, and any information provided to the Adviser Valuation Committee by the Adviser or the Administrator.
The Master Fund is not able to obtain complete underlying investment holding details on each of the Investment Funds in order to determine if the Master Fund’s proportional, aggregated, indirect share of any investments held by the Investment Funds exceeds 5% of partners’ capital of the Master Fund as of December 31, 2014.

Notes to Financial Statements, continued
December 31, 2014
Investments held by the Master Fund are valued as follows:
| • | | INVESTMENT FUNDS—Investments in Investment Funds are carried at fair value, using the net asset value (the “NAV”) as a practical expedient, as provided to the Administrator by the investment managers of such Investment Funds or the administrators of such Investment Funds. These Investment Funds value their underlying investments in accordance with policies established by such Investment Funds. Prior to investing in any Investment Fund, the Adviser Valuation Committee, as part of the due diligence process, conducts a review of the valuation methodologies employed by the Investment Fund to determine whether such methods are appropriate for the asset types. All of the Master Fund’s valuations utilize financial information supplied by each Investment Fund and are net of management and estimated performance incentive fees or allocations payable to the Investment Funds’ managers pursuant to the Investment Funds’ agreements. Generally, Investment Funds in which the Master Fund invests will use market value when available, and otherwise will use principles of fair value applied in good faith. The Adviser Valuation Committee will consider whether it is appropriate, in light of the relevant circumstances, to value shares at NAV as reported by an Investment Fund for valuation purposes, or whether to adjust such reported value to reflect an adjusted fair value. Because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation, fair value may differ significantly from the value that would have been used had readily available markets for the investments in Investment Funds existed. The Master Fund’s investments in Investment Funds are subject to the terms and conditions of the respective operating agreements and offering memoranda of such Investment Funds. Investment Funds are typically categorized as Level 2 or Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy based upon liquidity. |
| • | | OTHER—Investments in open-end registered investment companies (“RICs”) that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the end of day NAV per share and are categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. Where no value is readily available from a RIC or other security, or where a value supplied by a RIC is deemed not to be indicative of the RIC’s value, the Adviser Valuation Committee and/or the Board Valuation Committee, in consultation with the Administrator or the Adviser, will determine, in good faith, the fair value of the RIC or other security. Such fair valued investments are typically categorized as Level 1 or Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy, based upon the inputs used to value the investments. |
| • | | SECURITIES NOT ACTIVELY TRADED—The value of securities, derivatives or synthetic securities that are not actively traded on an exchange shall be determined by obtaining quotes from brokers that normally deal in such securities or by an unaffiliated pricing service that may use actual trade data or procedures using market indices, matrices, yield curves, specific trading characteristics of certain groups of securities, pricing models or a combination of these procedures pursuant to the valuation procedures approved by the Board. In each of these situations, valuations are typically categorized as Level 2 or Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy, based upon the inputs used to value the investments. |
(e) FOREIGN CURRENCY
The accounting records of the Master Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currency amounts and investments denominated in a foreign currency, if any, are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at current exchange rates on the valuation date. Purchases and sales of investments denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at the exchange rate on the respective dates of such transactions. The Master Fund does not isolate the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments and foreign currency translations.

(f) CFTC REGULATION
The Master Fund is deemed to be a commodity pool under the Commodity Exchange Act, as amended (the “CEA”). In 2013, the CFTC adopted final regulations designed to harmonize the obligations of registered commodity pool operators (“CPOs”) for commodity pools that are also registered as investment companies under the 1940 Act (the “Harmonization Rules”). Under the Harmonization Rules, the CFTC generally will accept the SEC’s disclosure, reporting, and recordkeeping regime as “substituted compliance” for substantially all of the CFTC’s regulations long as the CPO complies with applicable requirements under the SEC’s statutory and regulatory compliance regime to which it or the pool is already subject. The Adviser intends to operate the Master Fund in compliance with the CFTC’s Harmonization Rules.
(g) INVESTMENT INCOME
For investments in securities, dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, net of withholding taxes. Interest income is recorded as earned on the accrual basis and includes amortization of premiums or accretion of discounts.
(h) FUND EXPENSES
Unless otherwise voluntarily or contractually assumed by the Adviser or another party, the Master Fund bears all expenses incurred in its business including, but not limited to, the following: all costs and expenses related to investment transactions and positions for the Master Fund’s account; legal fees; accounting, auditing and tax preparation fees; recordkeeping and custodial fees; costs of computing the Master Fund’s net asset value; fees for data and software providers; research expenses; costs of insurance; registration expenses; expenses of meetings of partners; directors fees; all costs with respect to communications to partners; transfer taxes; offshore withholding taxes; and other types of expenses as may be approved from time to time by the Board.
(i) INCOME TAXES
The Master Fund is organized and operates as a limited partnership and is not subject to income taxes as a separate entity. Such taxes are the responsibility of the individual partners. Accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been made in the Master Fund’s financial statements. Investments in foreign securities may result in foreign taxes being withheld by the issuer of such securities. For U.S. offshore withholding tax, the Master Fund may serve as withholding agent for its offshore feeder funds.
For the current tax year ended December 31, 2014, and for all major jurisdictions, management of the Master Fund has evaluated the tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Master Fund’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions will “more-likely-than-not” be sustained by the Master Fund upon challenge by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold and that would result in a tax benefit or expense to the Master Fund would be recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current period. For the period March 31, 2014 (commencement of operations) through December 31, 2014, the Master Fund did not recognize any amounts for unrecognized tax benefit/expense. A reconciliation of unrecognized tax benefit/expense is not provided herein, as the beginning and ending amounts of unrecognized tax benefit/expense are zero, with no interim additions, reductions or settlements. Tax positions taken in the current tax year ended December 31, 2014 which remains open under the statute of limitations (generally three years for federal income tax purposes) are subject to examination by federal and state tax jurisdictions.

(j) USE OF ESTIMATES
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP, which requires management to make estimates and assumptions relating to the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates and such differences may be significant.
(3) FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The Master Fund defines fair value as 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 under current market conditions.
The inputs used to determine the fair value of the Master Fund’s investments are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
| • | | Level 1—unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical investments and registered investment companies where the value per share (unit) is determined and published and is the basis for current transactions for identical assets or liabilities at the valuation date |
| • | | Level 2—investments with other significant observable inputs or investments that can be fully redeemed at the NAV in the “near term” |
| • | | Level 3—investments with significant unobservable inputs (which may include the Master Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) or investments that cannot be fully redeemed at the NAV in the “near term”; these are investments that generally have one or more of the following characteristics: gated redemptions, suspended redemptions, or lock-up periods greater than quarterly |
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The Master Fund discloses transfers between levels based on valuations at the end of the reporting period. The inputs or methodology used for valuing investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those investments.
The Master Fund establishes valuation processes and procedures to ensure that the valuation techniques for investments categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy are fair, consistent, and appropriate. The Adviser is responsible for developing the Master Fund’s written valuation processes and procedures, conducting periodic reviews of the valuation policies, and evaluating the overall fairness and consistent application of the valuation policies. The Board Valuation Committee has authorized the Adviser to oversee the implementation of the Board approved valuation procedures by the Administrator. The Adviser Valuation Committee is comprised of various Master Fund personnel, which include members from the Master Fund’s portfolio management and operations groups. The Adviser Valuation Committee meets monthly or as needed, to determine the valuations of the Master Fund’s Level 3 investments. The valuations are supported by methodologies employed by the Investment Funds’ market data, industry accepted third party valuation models, or other methods the Adviser Valuation Committee deems to be appropriate, including the use of internal proprietary valuation models.

^ | Transfers In-Kind resulted from a tender offer of the Legacy Master Fund effective March 31, 2014 in a tax free transfer. Investment Funds were received by the Master Fund at market value at the time of transfer, accounted for by transferring the original cost and accumulated unrealized appreciation/depreciation of each of the Investment Funds. |
* | Includes Return of Capital and Capital Gain Distributions. |
The net realized gain (loss) and change in unrealized appreciation/depreciation in the table above are reflected in the accompanying Statement of Operations. The change in unrealized appreciation/depreciation from Level 3 investments held at December 31, 2014 is $24,567,710.
The Master Fund is permitted to invest in alternative investments that may not have a readily determinable fair value. For an investment that does not have a readily determinable fair value, the Master Fund uses the NAV reported by the Investment Fund as a practical expedient, without further adjustment, unless it is probable that the investment will be sold at a value significantly different than the reported NAV. If the practical expedient NAV is not as of the reporting entity’s measurement date, then the NAV is adjusted to reflect any significant events that would materially affect the value of the investment and the NAV of the Master Fund as of the valuation date.
Certain Investment Funds in which the Master Fund invests have limitations on liquidity which may result in limitations on redemptions including, but not limited to, early redemption fees. Other than Investment Funds that are self-liquidating, such as Private Equity and some Energy, Natural Resources and Real Estate Funds, the Investment Funds in which the Master Fund invests have withdrawal rights ranging from monthly to annually, after a notice period, usually for a period of up to two years from the date of the initial investment or an additional investment. A listing of the investments held by the Master Fund and their attributes as of December 31, 2014, that qualify for this valuation approach is shown in the table below.

Individual Investment Funds may have terms that are more or less restrictive than those terms indicated for the asset class as a whole. In addition, most Investment Funds have the flexibility, as provided for in their constituent documents, to modify and waive such terms. |
(a) | This category includes Investment Funds that invest primarily in privately issued securities by companies in the energy and natural resources sectors and private investments in energy-related assets or companies. The Investment Funds include private funds and private partnerships with private investments in their portfolios. |
(b) | This category includes Investment Funds that invest primarily in the following securities: common stock, preferred stock, and many types of debt. Events include mergers, acquisitions, restructurings, spin-offs, and litigation. |
(c) | This category includes Investment Funds that invest in global markets and across all security types including equities, fixed income, derivatives, commodities, currencies, futures, and exchange-traded funds. Investment Funds in this category are typically private funds and may include global macro funds, and commodity trading advisors. |
(d) | This category includes private equity funds that invest primarily in non-publicly traded companies in need of capital. These Investment Funds may vary widely as to sector, size, stage, duration, and liquidity. Certain of these Investment Funds may also focus on the secondary market, buying interests in existing private equity funds, often at a discount. |
(e) | This category includes Investment Funds that invest in registered investment companies or managers that invest in real estate trusts (commonly known as “REITs”) and private partnerships that make investments in income producing properties, raw land held for development or appreciation, and various types of mortgage loans and common or preferred stock whose operations involve real estate. |

(4) PARTNERS’ CAPITAL ACCOUNTS
(a) ISSUANCE OF INTERESTS
Interests of the Master Fund are generally available only to those investors who received Interests as in-kind repurchase proceeds for their tendered interests in one of the feeder funds to the Legacy Master Fund. Interests of the Master Fund will generally not otherwise be offered or sold.
(b) ALLOCATION OF PROFITS AND LOSSES
For each fiscal period, generally monthly, net profits or net losses of the Master Fund are allocated among and credited to or debited against the capital accounts of all partners as of the last day of each fiscal period in accordance with the partners’ respective capital account ownership percentage for the fiscal period. Net profits or net losses are measured as the net change in the value of the partners’ capital of the Master Fund, including any change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation of investments and income, net of expenses, and realized gains or losses during a fiscal period.
(c) REPURCHASE OF INTERESTS
A partner will not be eligible to have the Master Fund repurchase all or any portion of an Interest at the partner’s discretion at any time. Interests are not redeemable nor are they exchangeable for Interests or shares of any other fund.
The Master Fund anticipates making quarterly distributions pro rata to all investors in an amount equal to the Master Fund’s excess cash (“Excess Cash”). Excess Cash is defined as the amount of cash on hand over and above the amount necessary or prudent for operational and regulatory purposes (“Required Cash”). The amount of Required Cash is determined by the Adviser with oversight by the Board. Excess Cash is generally distributed in the subsequent quarter or quarters where the aggregate of Excess Cash from such subsequent quarter(s) and prior quarters exceeds a threshold of $10 million. Intra-quarter distributions may also be made if Excess Cash exceeds a threshold of $25 million as of the forty fifth day after the end of any quarter. The Master Fund may make in-kind distributions of portfolio securities as deemed necessary.
(5) INVESTMENTS IN PORTFOLIO SECURITIES
(a) INVESTMENT ACTIVITY
As of December 31, 2014 the Master Fund held investments in Investment Funds and securities. The agreements related to investments in Investment Funds provide for compensation to the Investment Funds’ managers/general partners or advisers in the form of management fees of up to 2.0% annually of monthly average net assets. In addition, many Investment Funds also provide for performance incentive fees/ allocations of up to 20% of an Investment Fund’s net profits, although it is possible that such ranges may be exceeded for certain investment managers. These management fees and incentive fees are in addition to the management fees charged by the Master Fund.

For the period ended December 31, 2014, the aggregate cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investments (excluding short-term investments) were $68,949,850 and $435,202,717, respectively.
The cost of the Master Fund’s underlying investments for Federal income tax purposes is adjusted for items of taxable income allocated to the Master Fund from such investments. The allocated taxable income is generally reported to the Master Fund by its underlying investments on Schedules K-1, Forms 1099 or PFIC statements, or a combination thereof.
The underlying investments generally do not provide the Master Fund with tax reporting information until well after year end, and as a result, the Master Fund is unable to calculate the year end tax cost of its investments until such time. The Master Fund’s book cost as of December 31, 2014, was $976,508,359, resulting in accumulated net unrealized appreciation of $135,999,190 consisting of $290,618,663 in gross unrealized appreciation and $154,619,473 in gross unrealized depreciation.

(6) FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK
In the normal course of business, the Investment Funds in which the Master Fund invests may trade various derivative securities and other financial instruments, and may enter into various investment activities with off-balance sheet risk both as an investor and as a principal. The Master Fund’s risk of loss in these Investment Funds is limited to the value of its investment in such Investment Funds.
(7) ADMINISTRATION AGREEMENT
In consideration for administrative, accounting, and recordkeeping services, the Master Fund pays the Administrator a monthly administration fee based on the month-end partners’ capital of the Master Fund. The Master Fund is charged, on an annual basis, 6 basis points on partners’ capital of up to $2 billion, 5 basis points on partners’ capital between the amounts of $2 billion and $5 billion, 2 basis points on partners’ capital between the amounts of $5 billion and $15 billion, and 1.25 basis points for amounts over $15 billion. The administration fee is payable monthly in arrears. The Administrator also provides the Master Fund with legal, compliance, transfer agency, and other investor related services at an additional cost.
The administration fees are paid out of the Master Fund’s assets, which decreases the net profits or increases the net losses of the partners in the Master Fund. As of December 31, 2014, the Master Fund had $1,208,927,652

in partners’ capital. The total administration fees incurred for the period March 31, 2014 (commencement of operations) through December 31, 2014, was $770,577.
(8) RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
(a) INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT FEE
In consideration of the advisory and other services provided by the Adviser to the Master Fund, the Master Fund pays the Adviser an investment management fee (the “Investment Management Fee”) equal to 0.70% on an annualized basis of the Master Fund’s partners’ capital at the end of each month, payable monthly in arrears, for the six quarters following March 31, 2014, and 0.40% on an annualized basis for periods thereafter until the period ending March 31, 2024, when the Adviser will no longer receive the Investment Management Fee.
The Master Fund’s partners bear an indirect portion of the Investment Management Fee paid by the Master Fund. The Investment Management Fee decreases the net profits or increases the net losses of the Master Fund that are credited to or debited against the capital accounts of its partners. For the period March 31, 2014 (commencement of operations) through December 31, 2014, $7,701,347 as incurred for Investment Management Fees.
(b) EXPENSE LIMITATION AGREEMENT
Through an expense limitation agreement (the “Expense Limitation Agreement”), the Adviser contractually agreed to limit total annualized expenses of the Master Fund, for the period April 1, 2014 through January 31, 2016, to the amount of 1.25%, exclusive of fees and expenses of underlying investment funds, borrowing and other investment-related costs and fees, taxes, litigation and other extraordinary expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of the Master Fund’s business.
Under the Expense Limitation Agreement, the Adviser is permitted to recover in later periods expenses it has borne to the extent that the Master Fund’s expenses fall below the rate in effect at the time of the waiver. The Master Fund, however, is not obligated to pay any such amounts beyond three years after the end of the fiscal year in which the Adviser reimbursed such expense. Any such recoupment by the Adviser shall not cause the Master Fund to exceed the annual expense limitation rate that was in effect at the time of such waiver or reimbursement. For the period April 1, 2014 through December 31, 2014, no such expense waiver has been incurred by the Master Fund.
(9) CREDIT FACILITY
The Master Fund entered into a line of credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Credit Suisse AG on July 17, 2014. The terms of the Credit Agreement provide a $50,000,000 credit facility. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement are secured by the Master Fund’s investments. The Credit Agreement provides for a commitment fee of 0.50% per annum plus interest accruing on any borrowed amounts at the three month London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus a spread of 2.5% per annum during the commitment period and 3.00% per annum during the wind down period as defined in the Credit Agreement. There were no borrowings during the period ended December 31, 2014. The Credit Agreement expires on July 18, 2016.

An investor’s return (and operating ratios) may vary from those reflected based on the timing of capital transactions.
1 | The Endowment PMF Master Fund, L.P. commenced operations on March 31, 2014. |
2 | Ratios are calculated by dividing the indicated amount by average partners’ capital measured at the end of each month during the period. These ratios have been annualized for periods less than twelve months. |
3 | Expense ratios do not include expenses of acquired funds that are paid indirectly by the Master Fund as a result of its ownership in the underlying funds. Expenses include U.S. offshore withholding tax, which is only allocable to investors investing through the offshore feeder funds. |
4 | Not annualized for periods less than twelve months. |
5 | The internal rate of return since inception (“IRR”) of the limited partners is net of all fees and profit allocations to the Adviser. The IRR reported is for the Master Fund as a whole. The IRR was computed based on the actual dates of the cash inflows (capital contributions), cash outflows (cash distributions) and the ending partners’ capital as of December 31, 2014 (the residual value). |
The total return of the Master Fund for the period March 31, 2014 through December 31, 2014 is 6.17% and is calculated as geometrically linked monthly returns for each month in the period. Total return is not annualized for periods less than twelve months.

The Adviser’s Investment Committee Members
As of the date of the filing, the Investment Committee is responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund’s portfolio. The Endowment PMF Master Fund, L.P. (the “Master Fund”), PMF Fund, L.P. (the “PMF Fund”), and PMF TEI Fund, L.P. (the “TEI Fund”) are registered investment companies (collectively, the “Fund Complex” and each individually the “Fund”). The members of the Investment Committee (each an “Investment Committee Member”) are: Messrs. Lee G. Partridge, Jeremy L. Radcliffe, William K. Enszer, William B. Hunt and William R. Guinn.
Mr. Partridge has served as an Investment Committee Member since January 15, 2013, and has served as Chief Investment Officer of Salient Partners, L.P. (“Salient”), which owns Salient Trust Co., LTA, a trust company chartered under the laws of the State of Texas, since January 15, 2013. Mr. Radcliffe has served as an Investment Committee Member since 2014 and Managing Director of Salient since 2002. Previously, he held the position of Partner of The Redstone Companies, L.P. and certain affiliates thereof (from 1998-2002 (collectively, “Redstone”)). Mr. Enszer has served as an Investment Committee Member since 2014 and Director of Salient since 2010. Previously, he held the position of Vice President of Redstone Asset Management (from 2005-2010). Mr. Hunt has served as an Investment Committee Member since 2014 and as Chief Risk Officer of Salient since 2014. He previously held positions as a Senior Analyst and Portfolio Manager of Iridian Asset Management (from 1996-2011) and Professor at Southern Methodist University (from 1991-2000). Mr. Guinn has served as an Investment Committee Member since 2014 and Director of Salient since 2013. Previously, he held the position of Director of Strategic Partnerships and Opportunistic Investments at the Teacher Retirement System of Texas (2009-2013). Each member of the Investment Committee reviews asset allocation recommendations made by the Adviser’s representatives, manager due diligence and recommendations and, by a majority vote of the Investment Committee, determines asset allocation and manager selection.
The Adviser and certain other entities controlled by the Principals manage investment programs which are similar to that of the Fund, and the Adviser and/or the Principals may in the future serve as an investment adviser or otherwise manage or direct the investment activities of other registered and/or private investment vehicles with investment programs similar to the Funds.

Conflicts of Interest of the Adviser
From time to time, potential conflicts of interest may arise between an Investment Committee Member’s management of the investments of the Fund, on the one hand, and the management of other registered investment companies, pooled investment vehicles and other accounts (collectively, “other accounts”), on the other. The other accounts might have similar investment objectives or strategies as the Fund, track the same index the Fund tracks or otherwise hold, purchase, or sell securities that are eligible to be held, purchased or sold by the Fund. The other accounts might also have different investment objectives or strategies than the Fund.
Knowledge and Timing of Fund Trades. A potential conflict of interest may arise as a result of the Investment Committee Member’s day-to-day management of a Fund. Because of their positions with the Fund, the Investment Committee Members know the size, timing and possible market impact of the Fund’s trades. It is theoretically possible that the Investment Committee Members could use this information to the advantage of other accounts they manage and to the possible detriment of the Fund.
Investment Opportunities. A potential conflict of interest may arise as a result of the Investment Committee Member’s management of a number of accounts with varying investment guidelines. Often, an investment opportunity may be suitable for both the Fund and other accounts managed by the Investment Committee Member, but may not be available in sufficient quantities for both the Fund and the other accounts to participate fully. Similarly, there may be limited opportunity to sell an investment held by the Fund and other accounts. The Adviser has adopted policies and procedures reasonably designed to allocate investment opportunities on a fair and equitable basis over time.
Performance Fees. An Investment Committee Member may advise certain accounts with respect to which the advisory fee is based entirely or partially on performance. Performance fee arrangements may create a conflict of interest for the Investment Committee Member in that the Member may have an incentive to allocate the investment opportunities that he or she believes might be the most profitable to such other accounts instead of allocating them to the Fund.
Compensation to Investment Committee Members
Messrs. Partridge and Radcliffe indirectly own equity interests in the Adviser. Messrs. Enszer, Hunt and Guinn receive all of their compensation based on objective and subjective performance assessments of their work, which may take into account the size of the Master Fund and the other funds within the Fund Complex and the management and servicing fees charged thereon, as well as other funds managed by Salient affiliates for which they has significant involvement. Messrs. Partridge and Radcliffe also own, directly or indirectly, equity in the general partner of another fund, and are compensated directly on performance (based on an incentive allocation) and the size of the fund’s asset base. In addition, Messrs. Partridge and Radcliffe are partners and principal executive officers of Salient and related affiliates and subsidiaries (collectively, the “Salient Group”), which pays them a base salary and potential bonus. These individuals are responsible for the investment processes and management of the Salient Group. Messrs. Partridge and Radcliffe believe that to the extent that they are successful in their investment endeavors, the greater the number of assets over time and the more significant their compensation and equity value will be from the Salient Group.
