The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in preparation of its financial statements. The policies are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The preparation of the consolidated portfolio of investments 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 period ended June 30, 2020. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the Investment Company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standard Codification Topic 946 "Financial Services – Investment Companies."
Consolidation of a Subsidiary – The consolidated financial statements of the Fund include AKCF LLC Series A (“AKCF”), a limited liability company in which the Fund invests. AKCF is a wholly-owned subsidiary; therefore all inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The inception date of AKCF is September 18, 2015.
A summary of the Fund’s investment in AKCF is as follows:
AKCF Net Assets at December 31, 2020 | % of Total Net Assets at December 31, 2020 |
$38,591,201 | 8.98% |
Securities 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 of Trustees of the Fund (“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 provides valuation and issues Shares on a monthly basis.
The Advisor 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 Gemini Fund Services, LLC (“GFS”), 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, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, default rates and similar data.
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, to the extent relevant observable inputs are not available; representing the Fund’s own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability, and based on the best information available.
The availability of observable inputs can vary from security to security and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of security, whether the security is new and not yet established in the marketplace, the liquidity of markets, and other characteristics particular to the security. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3.

December 31, 2020
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 December 31, 2020 for the Fund’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value:
Assets * | Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | Investments Valued at NAV | Total |
Investments | | | | | |
Private Equity | $ - | $ - | $ 51,742,353 | $ 366,011,420 | $ 417,753,773 |
Direct Investment | - | - | 4,436,348 | - | 4,436,348 |
Private Money Market Funds | 5,611,599 | - | - | - | 5,611,599 |
Total Investments: | $ 5,611,599 | $ - | $ 56,178,701 | $ 366,011,420 | $ 427,801,720 |
* Refer to the Consolidated Portfolio of Investments for industry classification.
The following is a reconciliation of assets in which Level 3 inputs were used in determining value:
Investments | Beginning Balance 3/31/20 | Cost of purchases | Proceeds from sales and principal paydowns | Net realized gain (loss) | Change in unrealized appreciation/ (depreciation) | Net transfers in (out) of Level 3 | Ending Balance 12/31/20 |
Direct Investments | $ 4,491,626 | $ - | $ (179,050) | $ - | $ 123,772 | $ - | $ 4,436,348 |
Private Equity | 11,901,856 | 2,074,221 | (2,156,636) | 1,337,438 | (1,203,230) | 39,788,704 | 51,742,353 |
Total Investments | $ 16,393,482 | $ 2,074,221 | $ (2,335,686) | $ 1,337,438 | $ (1,079,458) | $ 39,788,704 | $ 56,178,701 |
The following table is a summary of the valuation techniques and unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurements as of December 31, 2020:
Investment Type | Value at 12/31/20 | Valuation Technique(s) | Unobservable Input(s) | Single Input or Range of Inputs |
Direct Investments | 1,818,909 | Ownership percentage applied to adjusted third party valuation | Third party valuation | N/A |
2,607,439 | Discounted cash flow | Discount factor* Tax rate** | 17% 23.2% |
Private Equity | 51,742,353 | Adjusted reported investment net asset value | Fair value adjustment*** | N/A |
1,099,299 | Reported net asset value | Reported net asset value | N/A |
* 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 December 31, 2020, the beta applied was 20%. 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 rely 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 an outside valuation committee for which

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED PORTFOLIO OF INVESTMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued)
December 31, 2020
the Fund receives information surrounding their valuation process and, in some circumstances, the valuation analysis. In certain circumstances, the outside valuation committee may at its discretion employ third party valuation firms as appropriate.
Investments Valued at NAV - In May 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2015-07 “Disclosures for Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or Its Equivalent).” Investment companies are permitted to measure the fair value of certain privately offered investments using the NAV per share of the investment. Measuring the fair value of an investment this way is called using the NAV practical expedient. The amendments in ASU No. 2015-07 remove the requirement to categorize within the fair value hierarchy investments measured using the NAV practical expedient. The ASU also removes certain disclosure requirements for investments that qualify, but do not utilize, the NAV practical expedient. 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 investments is not being reported at fair value.

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, 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.
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 more 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 interest 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.
