NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2021
iCapital KKR Private Markets Fund (formerly, Altegris KKR Commitments Master Fund) (the “Fund”) is a Delaware statutory trust organized on April 22, 2014 and commenced operations on July 31, 2015. The Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as a non-diversified, closed-end investment management company. Prior to February 16, 2021, Altegris Advisors, LLC (the “Previous Adviser”) served as the Fund’s investment adviser. Thereafter iCapital Registered Fund Adviser LLC (the “Adviser’’ or the “iCapital RF Adviser”), an affiliate of Institutional Capital Network, Inc. (“iCapital Network”), became the Fund’s investment adviser. StepStone Group LP serves as the Fund’s Sub-Adviser (the “Sub-Adviser”).
On November 9, 2020, the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of the Fund approved a new investment advisory agreement between iCapital RF Adviser and the Fund (the “New Advisory Agreement”). On November 9, 2020, the Board also approved a new investment sub-advisory agreement between iCapital RF Adviser and the Sub-Adviser and a new distribution agreement with iCapital Securities, LLC (“iCapital Securities”), a registered broker/dealer affiliate of iCapital Network (the “New Distribution Agreement”), to serve as the Fund’s new distributor. The New Advisory Agreement and the New Sub-Advisory Agreement were subsequently approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund (as defined in the 1940 Act) entitled to vote at a special meeting of Fund shareholders on January 29, 2021 (the “Special Meeting”). On February 16, 2021, following the approval of the New Advisory Agreement and New Sub-Advisory Agreement at the Special Meeting, iCapital RF Adviser replaced the Previous Adviser as the Fund’s investment adviser, the Sub-Adviser continues to serve as the Fund’s sub- adviser, the Fund entered into the New Distribution Agreement with iCapital Securities, and the Fund’s name was changed to iCapital KKR Private Markets Fund. At the Special Meeting, the shareholders also elected Nick Veronis as an Interested Trustee of the Fund. Following the Special Meeting, Matthew Osborne resigned as an Interested Trustee of the Fund. Officers associated with the Previous Adviser have also resigned and the Board has appointed certain new officers associated with iCapital RF Adviser.
The Fund currently offers two separate classes of shares of beneficial interest designated Class A and Class I (each, “Shares”) on a continuous basis at the net asset value (“NAV”) per Share plus any applicable sales loads.
The minimum investment for an investor in the Fund is $25,000. Class A Shares are offered at NAV plus a maximum sales charge of 3.50%. Class I Shares are sold at NAV without an initial sales charge and are not subject to distribution fees. All classes of Shares have equal voting privileges except that each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to its service and/or distribution plans. The Fund’s income, expenses (other than class specific distribution fees) and realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated proportionately each month based upon the relative net assets of each class.
The Fund’s investment objective is to seek long-term capital appreciation. The Fund invests and/or makes capital commitments of at least 80% of its assets in or to private equity investments of any type, sponsored or advised by Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. Inc. or an affiliate thereof (collectively, “KKR”), including primary offerings and secondary acquisitions of interests in alternative investment funds that pursue private equity strategies (“Investment Funds”) and co-investment opportunities in operating companies (“Co-Investment Opportunities”) presented by such KKR Investment Funds or by KKR. However, the Fund may at any time determine to allocate its assets to investments not sponsored or issued by, or otherwise linked to, KKR or its affiliates and to strategies and asset classes not representative of private equity.
Consolidation of a Subsidiary – The consolidated financial statements of the Fund include iKF, LLC (formerly, AKCF LLC Series A) (“iKF”), a limited liability company in which the Fund invests and the results of which are reported on a consolidated basis with the Fund. iKF is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Fund; therefore all intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The inception date of iKF is September 18, 2015.
A summary of the Fund’s investment in iKF is as follows:
iKF Net Assets at | % of Total Net Assets |
September 30, 2021 | at September 30, 2021 |
$44,343,336 | 8.45% |

| 2. | SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The policies are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses for the year then ended. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Fund qualifies as an investment company under U.S. GAAP and follows the accounting and reporting guidance applicable to investment companies in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies (“ASC Topic 946”), and therefore is applying the specialized accounting and reporting guidance in ASC Topic 946.
Investment Funds Valuation – The Fund has adopted valuation procedures pursuant to which it will fair value its interests in Investment Funds. These valuation procedures, which have been approved by the Board, provide that the unaudited valuations determined by the general partner, managing member or affiliated investment adviser of the Investment Funds (the “Investment Managers”) will be reviewed by the Adviser. The Fund will generally rely on such valuations even in instances where an Investment Manager may have a conflict of interest in valuing the securities. Furthermore, the Investment Funds will typically provide the Adviser with estimated net asset values or other valuation information on a quarterly basis, and such data will be subject to revision through the end of each Investment Fund’s annual audit. While such information is provided on a quarterly basis, the Fund calculates its NAV and issues Shares on a monthly basis.
The fair value of the investment in the portfolio is determined at the date of the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The Fund follows the provisions of the Fair Value Measurement of the ASC Topic 820. The 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.
The Adviser is responsible for the Fund’s written valuation policies, processes and procedures, conducting periodic reviews of the valuation policies and evaluating the overall fairness and consistent application of the valuation policies. The Fund’s pricing committee is comprised of officers of the Fund, the Adviser, and representatives from Ultimus Fund Solutions, LLC (“UFS”), the Fund’s administrator. The Fund’s pricing committee meets monthly, or as needed, to determine the valuation of the Fund’s investments. The pricing committee certifies to the Board that the Fund’s valuation policy and procedures are properly followed. Any revision or updates of the valuation policies and procedures must be approved by the Board.
The Fund utilizes various methods to measure the fair value of all of its investments on a recurring basis. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation methods. The three levels of input are:
Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.
Level 2 – Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These inputs may include quoted prices for the identical instrument in an inactive market prices for similar instruments, and fair value is determined through the use of models or other valuation methodologies.
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, to the extent relevant observable inputs are not available; representing the Fund’s own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability, and based on the best information available.
The availability of observable inputs can vary from security to security and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of security, whether the security is new and not yet established in the marketplace, the liquidity of markets, and other characteristics particular to the security. The categorization of Level 2 or Level 3 is based on the significance of the unobservable inputs to the overall valuation. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3.

The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls in its entirety, is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. The following tables summarize the inputs used as of September 30, 2021 for the Fund’s assets measured at fair value:

| ** | Assets valued using NAV as the practical expedient, an indicator of fair value, are listed in a separate column to permit reconciliation to totals presented on the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. |
Transfers to and from Level 3 occurred due to an increase/decrease in the significance of an unobservable input to the estimate of fair value as of and during the six months ended September 30, 2021.
The following table is a reconciliation of assets in which Level 3 inputs were used in determining value:

| * | An increase of the input would indicate a decrease in fair value. |
| ** | An increase of the input would indicate an increase in fair value. |
| *** | The significant unobservable input applied to fair value adjusted investments, in part or in whole, is the application of a beta to a benchmark. The benchmark used is a world market index, and the beta is calculated through analysis and backtested by the Adviser. As of September 30, 2021, the beta applied was 33%. An increase of the beta would indicate an increase in the effect of the input to the fair value. |
The valuation process involved in Level 3 measurements is designed to subject the valuation of the investments to an appropriate level of consistency, oversight and review. The valuation of the Fund’s Level 3 investments relies on evaluations of multiple observable and unobservable inputs including financial and operating data; company specific developments, stock prices, earnings and tax rates; market valuations of comparable companies; analysis of market segments; and model projections. The output of these evaluations is typically reviewed and approved by the Adviser’s valuation committee for which the Fund receives information surrounding their valuation process and, in some circumstances, the valuation analysis.

In certain circumstances, the Adviser’s valuation committee may at its discretion employ third party valuation firms as appropriate.
Investments Valued at NAV – ASC Topic 820 permits a reporting entity to measure the fair value of an investment fund that does not have a readily determinable fair value based on the NAV per share, or its equivalent, of the investment fund as a practical expedient, without further adjustment, unless it is probable that the investment would be sold at a value significantly different than the NAV. If the practical expedient NAV is not as of the reporting entity’s measurement date, then the NAV should be adjusted to reflect any significant events that may change the valuation. In using the NAV as a practical expedient, certain attributes of the investment that may impact its fair value are not considered in measuring fair value. Attributes of those investments include the investment strategies of the investment and may also include, but are not limited to, restrictions on the investor’s ability to redeem its investments at the measurement date and any unfunded commitments. The Fund is permitted to invest in alternative investments that do not have a readily determinable fair value and, as such, has elected to use the NAV as calculated on the reporting entity’s measurement date as the fair value of the investment.
Adjustments to the NAV provided by the Adviser would be considered if the practical expedient NAV was not as of the Fund’s measurement date; if it was probable that the alternative investment would be sold at a value materially different than the reported expedient NAV; or if it was determined by the Fund’s valuation policies and procedures that the private investment is not being reported at fair value.
A listing of the private investments held by the Fund and their attributes, as of September 30, 2021, that qualify for these valuations are shown in the table below:

| * | The information summarized in the table above represent the general terms for the specified asset class. 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. |
| ** | Distributions from Investment Funds occur at irregular intervals, and the exact timing of distributions from Investment Funds cannot be determined. It is estimated that distributions will occur over the life of the Investment Funds. |
Unfunded Commitments – As of September 30, 2021, the Fund had total unfunded commitments of $89,064,239 which consist of $69,993,051 Private Equity-Buyout, $12,222,781 Private Equity-Growth Equity and $6,848,407 Private Equity - Other. The Fund expects to fulfill these unfunded commitments through the use of liquid investments, future distributions from Investment Funds and line of credit proceeds.
Security Transactions and Related Income – Security transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. Discounts are accreted and premiums are amortized on securities purchased over the lives of the respective securities. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Realized gains or losses from sales of securities are determined by comparing the identified cost of the security lot sold with the net sales proceeds.

Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders – Dividends from net investment income are declared and distributed at least annually and are recorded on ex-dividend date. Distributable net realized capital gains are declared and distributed at least annually. Dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized gains are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These “book/tax” differences are considered either 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.
Federal Income Taxes – The Fund’s policy is to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code that are applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income and net realized (after reduction for capital loss carryforwards) gains to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision has been recorded for the Fund.
The Fund recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only where the position is “more likely than not” to be sustained assuming examination by tax authorities in accordance with the FASB ASC 740 Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. Management has analyzed the Fund’s tax positions, and has concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions expected to be taken on returns filed for open tax year ended September 30, 2018 through September 30, 2020 or expected to be taken in the Fund’s September 30, 2021 tax return. The Fund identifies its major tax jurisdictions as U.S. Federal and foreign jurisdictions where the Fund makes significant investments. However, the Fund is not aware of any uncertain tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next twelve months.
iKF, the wholly owned subsidiary of the Fund, is a domestic limited liability company that has elected to be treated as a C Corporation for federal and state income tax purposes. State tax returns are filed in various states in which an economic presence exists. Current state taxes consist of income taxes, franchise taxes, business taxes, excise taxes or gross receipts taxes, depending on the state in which the returns are filed. Income taxes are charged based on apportioned income for each state.
iKF recognizes deferred income taxes for differences in the basis of assets and liabilities for financial and income tax purposes. Deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences, tax credit carryforwards or net operating loss carryforwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of the Adviser, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and the rates on the date of enactment.
When tax returns are filed, some positions taken may be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, while other positions are subject to uncertainty about the merits of the position taken or the amount of the position that would be sustained. The Adviser considers the likelihood of changes by taxing authorities in its filed income tax returns and recognizes a liability for or discloses potential changes that it believes are more likely than not to occur upon examination by taxing authorities.
The Adviser has not identified any uncertain tax positions in filed income tax returns that require recognition or disclosure in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. iKF’s income federal tax returns for the past three years and state tax returns for the past four years are subject to examination by taxing authorities and may change upon examination. iKF recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits in operating expense. No interest expense or penalties were recognized during the years ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 or the six months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020.

The estimated provision for (benefit from) income taxes for the six months ended September 31, 2021 and 2020 consist of the following:
Current: | | 2021 | | | 2020 | |
Federal | | $ | 979,368 | | | $ | (166,660 | ) |

Estimated provision for income taxes | | $ | 3,163,562 | | | $ | 106,886 | |
Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effect of temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting and tax purposes.
At September 30, 2021 and 2020, components of the estimated deferred tax assets and liabilities are as follows:
Deferred tax assets: | | 2021 | | | 2022 | |
Net unrealized loss on investment securities | | $ | — | | | $ | 1,540,446 | |
Capital loss carryforward | | | — | | | | 241,745 | |

Net deferred tax assets (liabilities) | | $ | (2,993,905 | ) | | $ | 241,745 | |
The Adviser reviews the recoverability of its deferred tax assets based upon the weight of available evidence. When assessing the recoverability of its deferred tax assets, significant weight was given to the effects of potential future realized and unrealized gains on investments and the period over which these deferred tax assets can be realized.
Previously valued attributes have been utilized in the current period, and therefore no longer require a valuation allowance.
The Adviser will continue to assess the need for a valuation allowance in the future.
Total income tax expense/(benefit) (current and deferred) differs from the amount computed by applying the federal statutory income tax rate of 21% to net investment income and realized and unrealized gain/(loss) on investments before taxes as follows:

Cash – Cash includes cash held or deposited in bank accounts. The Fund deposits cash with high quality financial institutions. These deposits are guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Company up to an insurance limit. The current cash balance exceeds the FDIC insurance limit.
Foreign Currency Translations – All assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars based on the rate of exchange of such currencies against U.S. dollars on the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of securities and income and expenses are translated at the rate of exchange quoted on the respective date that such transactions are recorded. The Fund does not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss form investments in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
Indemnification – The Fund indemnifies its officers and trustees for certain liabilities that may arise from the performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties and which provide general indemnities. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the risk of loss due to these warranties and indemnities appears to be remote.
| 3. | INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS AND ASSOCIATED RISKS |
Investment Transactions – For the six months ended September 30, 2021, cost of purchases and proceeds from sales or other disposition of investments other than short-term investments amounted to $33,059,300 and $467,640, respectively.
Associated Risks – During the normal course of business, the Fund may purchase, sell or hold various securities, which may result in certain risks, the amount of which is not apparent from the financial statements.
General Economic and Market Conditions. The value of the Fund’s total net assets should be expected to fluctuate. To the extent that the Fund’s portfolio is concentrated in securities of a single issuer or issuers in a single sector or geography, the risk of any investment decision is increased. An Investment Fund’s use of leverage is likely to cause the Fund’s average net assets to appreciate or depreciate at a greater rate than if leverage were not used.
The Fund’s portfolio can be significantly impacted by general economic and political conditions, global and domestic market and industry-specific economic conditions. Political developments, cybersecurity attacks, natural disasters, public health crises (including the recent global outbreak of the coronavirus (“COVID- 19”)) and other events outside of the Fund’s control can also adversely impact the Fund and its portfolio in material respects. For example, if any of these events occurred it may have an impact on the Fund’s fair value measurements, financing arrangements or its ability to achieve its investment objectives and the impact could be material.
Private Equity Investments. Private equity is a common term for investments that are typically made in private or public companies through privately negotiated transactions, and generally involve equity-related finance intended to bring about some kind of change in an operating company (e.g., providing growth capital, recapitalizing a company or financing an acquisition). Private equity funds, often organized as limited partnerships, are the most common vehicles for making private equity investments, although the Fund may also co-invest directly in an operating company in conjunction with an Investment Fund. The investments held by private equity funds and Co-Investment Opportunities made by the Fund involve the same types of risks associated with an investment in any operating company. However, securities of private equity funds, as well as the underlying companies these funds invest in, tend to be illiquid, and highly speculative. Private equity has generally been dependent on the availability of debt or equity financing to fund the acquisitions of their investments. Depending on market conditions, however, the availability of such financing may be reduced dramatically, limiting the ability of private equity funds to obtain the required financing or reducing their expected rate of return.
Illiquidity of Investment Fund Interests. There is no regular market for interests in Investment Funds, which typically must be sold in privately negotiated transactions. Any such sales would likely require the consent of the applicable Investment Fund and could occur at a discount to the stated net asset value. If the Adviser determines to cause the Fund to sell its interests in an Investment Fund, the Fund may be unable to sell such interests quickly, if at all, and could therefore be obligated to continue to hold such interests for an extended period of time.

| 4. | INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT, TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES AND OTHER FEES |
The Fund pays the Adviser a monthly fee of 0.10% (1.20% on an annualized basis) of the Fund’s month-end net asset value (the “Management Fee”). The Management Fee is an expense paid out of the Fund’s net assets and is computed based on the value of the net assets of the Fund as of the close of business on the last business day of each month (including any assets in respect of Shares that will be repurchased as of the end of the month). The Management Fee is in addition to the asset -based fees and incentive fees paid by the Investment Funds to the Investment Managers and indirectly paid by investors in the Fund . The Adviser pays the Sub-Adviser a monthly fee of 0.030833% (0.37% on an annualized basis) of the month-end net asset value of the Fund’s investments in Investment Funds. Pursuant to the agreement, the Fund incurred $2,895,414 in Management Fees for the six months ended September 30, 2021, which is included in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. As of September 30, 2021 the payable due to the Adviser for Management Fees is $675,375.
As outlined in the Fund’s prospectus, the Adviser has an “Expense Limitation and Reimbursement Agreement” with the Fund through August 1, 2022 (the “Limitation Period”) to limit the amount of “Specified Expenses” (as described herein) borne by the Fund in respect of Class A and Class I Shares, for any fiscal year, to an amount not to exceed 0.55% per annum of the Fund’s net assets attributed to Class A and Class I Shares, respectively. “Specified Expenses” is defined to include all expenses incurred in the business of the Fund, provided that the following expenses are excluded from the definition of Specified Expenses: (i) the Management Fee and underlying Investment Fund expenses (including contribution requirements for investments, expenses and management fees); (ii) interest expense and any other expenses incurred in connection with the Fund’s credit facility; (iii) expenses incurred in connection with secondary offerings and Co-Investment Opportunities and other investment-related expenses of the Fund; (iv) Distribution and Servicing Fees in respect of any Class of Shares; (v) taxes; and (vi) extraordinary expenses including tax expenses. This agreement may be renewed by the mutual agreement of the Adviser and the Fund for successive terms. Unless so renewed, this agreement will terminate automatically at the end of the Limitation Period. This agreement will also terminate automatically upon the termination of the investment advisory agreement between the Adviser and the Fund unless a new investment advisory agreement with the Adviser becomes effective upon such termination. To the extent that Specified Expenses in respect of any Class of Shares for any month exceed the Expense Cap applicable to a Class of Shares (the “Excess Expenses”), the Adviser will pay the Fund for expenses to eliminate such excess. To the extent that the Adviser pays Excess Expenses in respect of a Class of Shares, it is permitted to receive reimbursement for any expense amounts previously paid by the Adviser, for a period not to exceed three years from the date in which such expenses were paid by the Adviser on a monthly basis, even if such reimbursement occurs after the termination of the Limitation Period, provided that the Specified Expenses in respect of the applicable Class of Shares have fallen to a level below the Expense Cap of the Class and the reimbursement amount does not raise the level of Specified Expenses in respect of a Class of Shares in the month the reimbursement is being made to a level that exceeds the Expense Cap of the Class. The Excess Expenses in respect of the Fund’s Class A Shares shall be deemed to include any Specified Expenses paid by the Adviser in respect of the feeder fund that invested all or substantially all its assets in the Fund that was liquidated upon the Fund’s issuance of Class A Shares, and not reimbursed by the feeder fund to the Adviser. For the six months ended September 30, 2021, the Fund did not waive or reimburse excess expenses paid by the Adviser.
The Fund has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan Agreement (“Plan”) for Class A and Class I Shares pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Pursuant to the Plan, the Fund pays a monthly fee out of the net assets of Class A Shares at the annual rate of 0.60% of the aggregate net asset value of the Class A Shares, determined and accrued as of the last day of each calendar month (before any repurchase of Shares) (the “Distribution and Servicing Fee”). The Distribution and Servicing Fee is paid to iCapital Securities, an affiliate of the Adviser, as the distributor of the Shares (the “Distributor”) to provide compensation for ongoing distribution -related activities or services and/or maintenance of the Fund’s shareholder accounts, not otherwise required to be provided by the Adviser. Class I Shares are not subject to the Distribution and Servicing Fee. During the six months ended September 30, 2021, pursuant to the Plan, Class A shares incurred $1,009,603 in Distribution and Servicing Fees paid to iCapital Securities, which are included in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. As of September 30, 2021, distribution and servicing fees payable to Distributor was $224,353.
The Fund reimburses the Adviser for certain sub-accounting and sub -transfer agency fees at 0.15% of the net assets of applicable shareholder accounts for the fees payable by the Adviser to identified service providers. During the six months

UFS
UFS provides administration, fund accounting, and transfer agent services to the Fund. Pursuant to the servicing agreement with UFS, the Fund pays UFS customary fees for providing such services to the Fund. During the six months ended September 30, 2021 certain officers of the Fund were also officers of UFS and are not paid any fees directly by the Fund for serving in such capacities.

As of September 30, 2021, service fees payable to related parties includes a payable of $173,054 due to UFS for administration, transfer agent fees and fund accounting fees.
Northern Lights Compliance Services, LLC (“NLCS”)
NLCS, a related party of UFS, provides compliance services and a chief compliance officer, pursuant to a consulting agreement between NLCS and the Fund. For the six months ended September 30, 2021, the Fund incurred $18,049 in NLCS customary fees which are included in chief compliance officer fees on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
Blu Giant, LLC (“Blu Giant”), a related party of UFS, provides EDGAR conversion and filing services as well as print management services for the Fund on an ad-hoc basis.

As of September 30, 2021, services fees payable to related parties payable includes a payable of $46,520 due to Blu Giant for printing and postage expenses.
The Fund may from time to time offer to repurchase Shares pursuant to written tenders by Shareholders. For the six months ended September 30, 2021, the Adviser recommended and intends to continue to recommend to the Board (subject to its discretion) that the Fund offer to repurchase Shares from Shareholders on a quarterly basis in an amount not to exceed 5% of the Fund’s net asset value. In determining whether the Fund should offer to repurchase Shares from Shareholders, the Board considers the recommendation of the Adviser. The Adviser expects that, generally, it will recommend to the Board that the Fund offer to repurchase Shares from Shareholders quarterly, with such repurchases to occur as of each March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31. Each repurchase offer will generally commence approximately 45 days prior to the applicable repurchase date. Any repurchase of Shares from a Shareholder which are held for less than one year (on a first-in, first-out basis) will be subject to an “Early Repurchase Fee” equal to 2% of the net asset value of any such Shares repurchased by the Fund. There is no minimum number of Shares which must be repurchased in any repurchase offer.
During the six months ended September 30, 2021, the Fund repurchased tendered Shares as follows:
Repurchase Date | | Repurchase Offer Amount | | | % of Shares Tendered | | | Number of Shares Tendered | | | NAV Price of Shares Tendered | | | Redemption Value of Shares Tendered | | | Shares Outstanding on Repurchase Date, Before Repurchase | |

As of September 30, 2020, the components of accumulated earnings/(deficit) on a tax basis were as follows:
Undistributed | | | Undistributed | | | Post October Loss | | | Capital Loss | | | Other | | | Unrealized | | | Total | |
Ordinary | | | Long-Term | | | and | | | Carry | | | Book/Tax | | | Appreciation/ | | | Accumulated | |

The difference between book basis and tax basis accumulated ordinary income/(loss) and other book/tax differences are primarily attributable to the unamortized portion of organization expenses for tax purposes and adjustments for partnerships, passive foreign investment companies, C-corporations with return of capital distributions and the Fund’s wholly-owned subsidiary.
Late year losses incurred after December 31 within the tax year are deemed to arise on the first business day of the following tax year for tax purposes. The Fund incurred and elected to defer such late year losses of $3,053,845.
Permanent book and tax differences, primarily attributable to the tax treatment of net operating losses resulted in reclassification for the tax year ended September 30, 2021 as follows:
| | | Accumulated | |
Paid-In Capital | | | Earnings (Losses) | |
$ | 11,948,521 | | | $ | (11,948,521 | ) |
These reclassifications had no effects on net assets.
The cost of investments for federal income tax purposes is adjusted for items of taxable income allocated to the Fund from the Investment Funds. The allocated taxable income is reported to the Fund by the Investment Funds on Schedule K- 1. The Fund has not yet received all such Schedule K-1s for the year ended December 31, 2021 (the underlying Investment Funds’ year-end); therefore, the tax basis of investments for 2021 will not be finalized by the Fund until after the fiscal period end.

The Prospectus should be read carefully before investing. Diversification does not ensure profit or protect against loss in a positive or declining market. There is no guarantee that any investment will achieve its objectives, generate profits or avoid losses. An investment in private equity is speculative and involve substantial risks.

Alternative investments are complex, speculative investment vehicles and are not suitable for all investors. This material does not intend to address the financial objectives, situation or specific needs of any individual investor.

Products offered by iCapital Network are typically private placements that are sold only to qualified clients of iCapital Network through transactions that are exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933 pursuant to Rule 506(b) of Regulation D promulgated thereunder (“Private Placements”). An investment in any product issued pursuant to a Private Placement entails a high degree of risk and no assurance can be given that any alternative investment fund’s investment objectives will be achieved or that investors will receive a return of their capital. Further, such investments are not subject to the same levels of regulatory scrutiny as publicly listed investments, and as a result, investors may have access to significantly less information than they can access with respect to publicly listed investments. Prospective investors should also note that investments in Private Placements often involve long lock-ups and do not provide investors with liquidity.
