The performance data shown represents past performance. Past performance is not a guarantee of future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s units, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.
Investors should carefully consider the Fund’s investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses before investing. For performance information through the most recent month end, current net asset values per unit for the Fund and other information, please call 877.355.1566 or visit our website at wealth.amg.com for a free prospectus. Read it carefully before investing or sending money.
† | Date reflects inception date of the Fund, not the Index. |
1 | Total return equals income yield plus unit price change and assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions. Returns are net of fees and may reflect offsets of Fund expenses as described in the prospectus. No adjustment has been made for taxes payable by unitholders on their reinvested dividends and capital gain distributions. Returns for periods greater than one year are annualized. The listed returns on the Fund are net of expenses. All returns are in U.S. dollars ($). |
2 | Effective July 31, 2020, Brokerage Class Units were renamed Class 1 Units, Advisory Class Units were renamed Class 2 Units, Institutional Class Units were renamed Class 3 Units, Institutional Plus Class Units were renamed Class 4 Units, and Class 5 Units were established. |
3 | The performance information for the Fund’s Class 1 units for periods prior to July 31, 2020 does not reflect the impact of the sales load that was in effect until July 31, 2020. |
4 | The Average Annual Total Returns include the impact of the maximum sales load of 3.50%. |
5 | The MSCI World Index is a free float-adjusted market capitalization weighted index that is designed to measure the equity market performance of developed markets. Please go to msci.com for most current list of countries represented by the Index. Unlike the Fund, the MSCI World Index is unmanaged, is not available for investment and does not incur fees. |

1. | ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
AMG Pantheon Fund, LLC (the “Fund”) is organized as a Delaware limited liability company and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) as a closed-end, non-diversified management investment company. The Fund’s term is perpetual unless the Fund is otherwise terminated under the terms of the Fund’s organizational documents. The Fund’s investment objective is to seek long-term capital appreciation. In pursuing its investment objective, the Fund invests substantially all of its assets in AMG Pantheon Master Fund, LLC, an affiliate of the Fund, which has the same investment objective and investment policies as those of the Fund. AMG Pantheon Master Fund, LLC makes investments directly and through its wholly owned subsidiaries, AMG Pantheon Subsidiary Fund, LLC (the “Corporate Subsidiary”) and AMG Pantheon Lead Fund, LLC (the “Lead Fund” and together with AMG Pantheon Master Fund, LLC and the Corporate Subsidiary, the “Master Fund” or the “Underlying Funds”). As of September 30, 2024, the Fund owned 95% of the Units in the Master Fund. The performance of the Fund is directly affected by the performance of the Master Fund. The consolidated financial statements of the Master Fund, including the Consolidated Schedule of Investments, are included elsewhere in this report and should be read in conjunction with the Fund’s financial statements.
The Fund offers five classes of Units (each a “Unit”, and collectively, “Units”). Each Unit is offered to “accredited investors” (as defined in Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”)) and may be purchased on a continuous basis as of the first business day of each month at the class’s net asset value (“NAV”) per Unit. The Units of Class 1, Class 2, Class 3, Class 4, and Class 5 generally have identical voting rights, but each Unit class may vote separately when required by law. Different Unit classes may have different NAV per Unit to the extent the Unit classes pay different distribution amounts and/or the expenses of such Unit classes differ. Each Unit class has its own expense structure. Sales of Units of Class 5 will incur a sales load up to 3.50%. For the six months ended September 30, 2024, investors in Class 5 paid $1,234,287 to the distributor, the sub-distributor, selling agents or other financial intermediaries relating to sales loads charged on Class 5 subscriptions. The Fund has registered $5,500,000,000 in Units for sale under the Securities Act and offers Units of Class 1, Class 2, Class 3, Class 4, and Class 5 to the public under the Securities Act.
To provide liquidity to unitholders of the Fund (“Investors”), the Fund may, from time to time, offer to repurchase Units pursuant to written tenders by Investors. Repurchases will be made at such times, in such amounts and on such terms as may be determined by the Fund’s Board of Directors (the “Board” or the “Directors”).
The Fund’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), including accounting and reporting guidance pursuant to Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 applicable to investment companies. U.S. GAAP 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 during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and such differences could be material. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements:

AMG Pantheon Fund, LLC
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
| a. | VALUATION OF INVESTMENTS: The Fund records its investment in the Master Fund at a value based on the NAV per Unit of the Master Fund. Valuation policies for securities held by the Master Fund are discussed in Note 1(a) of the Master Fund’s Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. |
| b. | SECURITY TRANSACTIONS: For financial reporting purposes, contributions to and withdrawals from the Master Fund are accounted for on a trade date basis. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Realized gains and losses on withdrawals from the Master Fund and on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. For the fiscal period ended September 30, 2024, the Fund purchased $721,758,957 of the Master Fund and did not redeem any Units of the Master Fund. |
The Master Fund may, from time to time, offer to repurchase Units pursuant to written tenders by the Master Fund’s investors. Repurchases will be made at such times, in such amounts and on such terms as may be determined by the Master Fund’s Board of Directors.
| c. | INVESTMENT INCOME AND EXPENSES: Dividend income, including distributions from the Master Fund, is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Expenses are recorded on an accrual basis. The Fund indirectly bears its proportional share of the Master Fund’s expenses, which is reflected in the NAV of the Master Fund’s Units. During the six months ended September 30, 2024, the Fund’s proportional share of the Master Fund’s expenses, current tax benefit and deferred tax expense were $21,326,517, $1,377,618 and $(8,685,016) respectively, which represents 1.16%, 0.08% and (0.48)%, respectively, of the Fund’s average investment balance in the Master Fund. |
Investment income, realized and unrealized gains and losses, the common expenses of the Fund, and certain Fund level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro-rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund.
| d. | DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS: Fund distributions resulting from either net investment income or realized net capital gains, if any, will normally be declared and paid at least annually as described in the Fund’s prospectus. Distributions to Investors are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from net investment income and net realized capital gains for financial statement purposes (U.S. GAAP). Differences may be permanent or temporary. Permanent differences, including book tax differences relating to Investors’ distributions, are reclassified among capital accounts in the financial statements to reflect their tax character. Permanent differences relating to the write-off of net operating losses resulted in the following reclassifications between distributable earnings and paid-in capital: |

| | |
Distributable Earnings | | Paid-In Capital |
| |
$ 13,345,041 | | $ (13,345,041) |
Temporary differences arise when certain items of income, expense and gain or loss are recognized in different periods for financial statement and tax purposes; these differences will reverse at some time in the future. The Fund had temporary differences relating to qualified late year ordinary loss deferral.
The tax character of distributions paid during the tax years ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023 was as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
Distributions paid from: | | 2024 | | | 2023 | |
Long-term capital gains | | | $ 18,997,428 | | | | $ 26,916,178 | |
| | | | | | | | |
Total | | | $ 18,997,428 | | | | $ 26,916,178 | |
| | | | | | | | |
On December 31, 2023, the Fund paid $ 18,997,428 of long-term capital gains which primarily consisted of capital gains received from the Master Fund on December 31, 2023.
As of September 30, 2024, the components of accumulated earnings on a tax basis were as follows:
| | | | |
Undistributed long-term capital gains | | | $ 51,730 | |
Late year loss deferral | | | $ 17,426,105 | |
Based on the cost of investments of $3,289,678,649 for federal income tax purposes at September 30, 2024, the Fund’s aggregate gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation were $880,744,303 and $0, respectively, resulting in net unrealized appreciation of $880,744,303.
Under current tax law, net capital losses realized after October 31 and net ordinary losses incurred after December 31 may be deferred and treated as occurring on the first day of the following tax year. The Fund’s carryforward losses, post-October losses and post-December losses are determined only at the end of each tax year. For the year ending September 30, 2024, the Fund has elected to defer late year losses in the amount of $17,426,105.

| e. | FEDERAL TAXES: The Fund qualifies as a regulated investment company and intends to comply with the requirements under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “IRC” or the “Code”), and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income and gains to its Investors and to meet certain diversification and income requirements with respect to investment companies. The Fund’s tax year end is September 30. The Investment Manager has analyzed the Fund’s tax positions as of September 30, 2024, and for all open tax years (generally, the three prior taxable years), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Fund’s financial statements. Additionally, the Investment Manager is not aware of any tax position for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next twelve months. |
If the Fund and/or the Master Fund were to fail to meet the requirements of Subchapter M of the IRC to qualify as a regulated investment company, and if the Fund and/or the Master Fund were ineligible to or otherwise were not to cure such failure, the Fund would be subject to tax on its taxable income at corporate rates, whether or not distributed to its Investors, and all distributions out of income and profits would be taxable to Investors as ordinary income. In addition, the Fund could be required to recognize unrealized gains, pay substantial taxes and interest and make substantial distributions before requalifying as a regulated investment company that is accorded special tax treatment under Subchapter M of the IRC.
| f. | CAPITAL LOSS CARRYOVERS AND DEFERRALS: As of September 30, 2024, the Fund had no capital loss carryovers for federal income tax purposes. Should the Fund incur net capital losses for the tax year ending September 30, 2025, such amounts may be used to offset future realized capital gains for an unlimited time period and retain their character as short-term and/or long-term. |
| g. | CAPITAL STOCK: The Fund’s Limited Liability Company Agreement authorizes an issuance of an unlimited number of Units, without par value. The Fund records sales and repurchases of its capital stock on the trade date. Additionally, a 2.00% early repurchase fee will be charged by the Fund with respect to any repurchase of Units at any time prior to the day immediately preceding the one-year anniversary of the Investor’s purchase of the Units. For the six months ended September 30, 2024 (unaudited) and the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024, early repurchase fees were $57,087 and $27,703 respectively. Such amounts are netted against the cost of Units repurchased in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets. |

2. | AGREEMENTS AND TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES |
The Fund has entered into an investment management agreement with Pantheon, a limited partnership organized under the laws of the State of Delaware and registered as an investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended. Affiliated Managers Group, Inc. (“AMG”) indirectly owns a majority of the interests of the Investment Manager. Investment management fees are paid directly by the Fund to the Investment Manager at the annual rate of 0.70% of the net assets of the Fund as of the end of each month, determined before giving effect to the accrual of the investment management fee being calculated or to any purchases or repurchases of interests of the Fund or any distributions by the Fund. The Investment Manager has agreed to waive its investment management fee paid by the Fund with respect to any period during which the only investment security held by the Fund is that of another investment company registered under the 1940 Act. Investment management fees waived under this investment management fee waiver may not be recouped by the Investment Manager in subsequent periods. During the six months ended September 30, 2024, the Investment Manager waived all investment management fees payable by the Fund in the amount of $12,772,521.
The Investment Manager has entered into an Expense Limitation and Reimbursement Agreement with the Fund and the Underlying Funds to waive the investment management fees payable by the Underlying Funds and pay or reimburse the Fund’s expenses (whether borne directly or indirectly through and in proportion to the Fund’s direct or indirect interest in the Underlying Funds) such that the Fund’s total annual operating expenses (exclusive of certain “Excluded Expenses” listed below) do not exceed 1.45% per annum of the Fund’s net assets as of the end of each calendar month (the “Expense Cap”). “Excluded Expenses” is defined to include (i) the Fund’s proportional share of (a) fees, expenses, allocations, carried interests, etc. of the private equity investment funds and co-investments in portfolio companies in which any Underlying Fund invests (including all acquired fund fees and expenses); (b) transaction costs, including legal costs and brokerage commissions, of any Underlying Fund associated with the acquisition and disposition of primary interests, secondary interests, co-investments, ETF investments, and other investments; (c) interest payments incurred by any Underlying Fund; (d) fees and expenses incurred in connection with any credit facilities obtained by any Underlying Fund; (e) taxes of the any Underlying Fund; (f) extraordinary expenses of any Underlying Fund (as determined in the sole discretion of the Investment Manager), which may include non-recurring expenses such as, for example, litigation expenses and shareholder meeting expenses; (g) fees and expenses billed directly to the Corporate Subsidiary by any accounting firm for auditing, tax and other professional services provided to the Corporate Subsidiary, and fees and expenses billed directly to the Lead Fund by any accounting firm for auditing, tax and other professional services provided to the Lead Fund; and (h) fees and expenses billed directly to the Corporate Subsidiary for custody and fund administration services provided to the Corporate Subsidiary, and fees and expenses billed directly to the Lead Fund for custody and fund administration services provided to the Lead Fund; and (ii) (a) any investment management fee paid by the Fund; (b) acquired fund fees and expenses of the Fund; (c) transaction costs, including legal costs and brokerage commissions, of the Fund; (d) interest payments incurred by the Fund; (e) fees and expenses incurred in connection with any credit facilities obtained by the Fund; (f) the distribution and/or service fee paid by the Fund; (g) taxes of the Fund; and (h) extraordinary expenses of the Fund (as

determined in the sole discretion of the Investment Manager), which may include non-recurring expenses such as, for example, litigation expenses and shareholder meeting expenses. Expenses that are subject to the Expense Limitation and Reimbursement Agreement include, but are not limited to, each Underlying Fund’s investment management fee, the Fund’s administration, custody, transfer agency, record keeping, fund accounting and investor services fees, the Fund’s professional fees (outside of professional fees related to transactions), and fees and expenses of Fund Directors.
To the extent that the Fund’s total annual operating expenses for any month exceed the Expense Cap, the Investment Manager will pay or reimburse the Fund for expenses and/or waive the management fee payable by any of the Underlying Funds to the extent necessary to eliminate such excess. The Fund, or, with respect to the waived management fees, the applicable Underlying Funds, will be obligated to pay the Investment Manager all such amounts paid, waived, or reimbursed by the Investment Manager pursuant to the Expense Cap, provided that (a) the amount of such additional payment in any year, together with all expenses of the Fund (whether borne directly or indirectly through and in proportion to the Fund’s interest in the Underlying Funds), in the aggregate, would not cause the Fund’s total annual operating expenses, whether borne directly or indirectly through and in proportion to the Fund’s interest in the Underlying Funds, exclusive of Excluded Expenses, in any such year to exceed the lesser of any expense limitation in place at the time of payment or the expense limitation in place at the time of waiver or reimbursement, (b) the amount of such additional payment shall be borne pro rata by all Fund Investors or, with respect to each Underlying Fund, by all such Underlying Fund’s unitholders, as applicable, and (c) no such additional payments by the Fund, or, with respect to any waived management fees, the applicable Underlying Fund, will be made with respect to amounts paid, waived, or reimbursed by the Investment Manager more than thirty-six (36) months after the date such amounts are paid, waived, or reimbursed by the Investment Manager. The Expense Limitation Agreement shall continue until such time that the Investment Manager ceases to be the investment manager of the Fund or upon mutual agreement between the Investment Manager and the Fund’s Board.
During the six months ended September 30, 2024, the Investment Manager did not reimburse the Fund or recoup any previously reimbursed expenses. As of September 30, 2024, the Fund does not have any reimbursements subject to recoupment.
The Fund has entered into an Administration Agreement under which AMG Funds LLC, a subsidiary and the U.S. wealth platform of AMG, serves as the Fund’s administrator (the “Administrator”) and is responsible for certain aspects of managing the Fund’s operations, including administration and Investor services to the Fund, its Investors, and certain institutions, such as broker-dealers and registered investment advisers, that advise or act as an intermediary with the Fund’s Investors. The Fund pays a fee to the Administrator at the rate of 0.05% per annum of the Fund’s average monthly net assets, with a minimum annual fee of $86,000 for these services.
21
AMG Pantheon Fund, LLC
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
The Fund is distributed by AMG Distributors, Inc. (the “Distributor”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Administrator. The Distributor serves as the distributor and underwriter for the Fund and is a registered broker-dealer and member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”). Units of the Fund will be continuously offered and will be sold directly to prospective accredited investors and through brokers, dealers or other financial intermediaries who have executed selling agreements with the Distributor. Generally the Distributor bears all or a portion of the expenses of providing services pursuant to the distribution agreement, including the payment of the expenses relating to the distribution of registration statements for sales purposes and any advertising or sales literature. The Distributor has appointed Pantheon Securities, LLC, an affiliate of the Investment Manager, as a sub distributor of the Fund (the “Sub Distributor”) in which the Sub Distributor may carry out certain responsibilities of the Distributor.
The Fund adopted a distribution and service plan (the “Plan”) with respect to Class 1, Class 2, Class 3, and Class 5, in accordance with the requirements of Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act and the requirements of the applicable rules of FINRA regarding asset based sales charges. Pursuant to the Plan, the Fund may make payments to the Distributor for its expenditures in financing any activity primarily intended to result in the sale of the Fund’s Class 1, Class 2, Class 3, and Class 5 Units and for maintenance and personal service provided to existing Investors of those classes. The Plan authorizes payments to the Distributor of 0.75%, 0.50%, 0.25%, and 1.00% annually of the average monthly net assets attributable to Class 1, Class 2, Class 3, and Class 5, respectively. The Plan further provides for periodic payments by the Fund to brokers, dealers and other financial intermediaries for providing shareholder services and for promotional and other sales related costs. The portion of payments made under the Plan by Class 1, Class 2, Class 3, and Class 5 for shareholder servicing may not exceed an annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily NAV of the Fund’s Units of that class owned by clients of such broker, dealer or financial intermediary.
The Board provides supervision of the affairs of the Fund, the Master Fund, and other trusts within the AMG Funds family of mutual funds. The Directors of the Fund who are not affiliated with the Investment Manager receive an annual retainer and per meeting fees for regular, special and telephonic meetings, and they are reimbursed for out-of-pocket expenses incurred while carrying out their duties as Board members. The Chairperson of the Board and the Audit Committee Chair receive additional annual retainers. The Directors’ fees and expenses are split evenly between the Master Fund and the Fund. Certain Directors and Officers of the Fund are Officers and/or Directors of the Investment Manager, the Administrator, AMG and/or the Distributor.
3. | COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES |
Under the Fund’s organizational documents, its Directors and Officers are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Fund may enter into contracts and agreements that contain a variety of representations and warranties, which may provide general indemnifications. The maximum exposure to the Fund under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred.

4. | FINANCIAL AND OTHER RISK FACTORS |
The Fund invests a substantial portion of its assets in the Master Fund and the Master Fund intends to invest a substantial portion of its available capital in private equity securities including investments in private equity, infrastructure, and other private asset funds. These investments are generally restricted securities that are subject to substantial holding periods and are not traded in public markets so that the Master Fund may not be able to resell some of its holdings for extended periods, which may be several years. No guarantee or representation is made that the Fund’s investment objective will be met.
Units in the Fund provide limited liquidity because repurchases of Units are subject to approval of the Fund’s Board.
A discussion of the risks associated with the Fund’s investment in the Master Fund is provided in Note 8 of the Master Fund’s Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and the Fund’s prospectus.
Subsequent events after September 30, 2024 have been evaluated through the date at which the financial statements were issued and the Fund has determined that no material events or transactions occurred.

Annual Renewal of Investment Management Agreement
At an in-person meeting held on June 13, 2024, the Boards of Directors (the “Directors”) of AMG Pantheon Fund, LLC (the “Feeder Fund”), AMG Pantheon Master Fund, LLC (the “Master Fund”), AMG Pantheon Subsidiary Fund, LLC (the “Corporate Subsidiary”), and AMG Pantheon Lead Fund, LLC (the “Lead Fund” and, together with the Feeder Fund, the Master Fund, and the Corporate Subsidiary, the “Funds”), and separately a majority of the Directors who are not “interested persons” of the Funds (“Independent Directors”) within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), voted to approve (i) the investment management agreement between Pantheon Ventures (US) LP (“Pantheon”) and the Feeder Fund, (ii) the investment management agreement between Pantheon and the Master Fund, (iii) the investment management agreement between Pantheon and the Corporate Subsidiary, and (iv) the investment management agreement between Pantheon and the Lead Fund, in each case, as amended at any time prior to the date of the meeting (collectively, the “Investment Management Agreements”). The Independent Directors were separately represented by independent legal counsel in connection with their consideration of the approval of the Investment Management Agreements.
In considering each Investment Management Agreement, the Directors reviewed a variety of materials relating to each Fund and Pantheon, including, with respect to the Master Fund and the Feeder Fund, comparative performance, fee and expense information for an appropriate peer group of similar funds and performance information for a relevant benchmark index, and, with respect to all of the Funds, the nature, extent and quality of services, other relevant matters, including management fees, the profitability of Pantheon and its affiliates, and the potential for economies of scale that may be shared with the Funds, and other information provided to them on a periodic basis throughout the year. Prior to voting, the Independent Directors: (a) reviewed the foregoing information with their independent legal counsel; (b) received materials from their independent legal counsel discussing the legal standards applicable to their consideration of the Investment Management Agreements; and (c) met with their independent legal counsel in a private session at which no representatives of management were present.
Nature, extent and quality of services
In considering the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by Pantheon under the Investment Management Agreements, the Directors reviewed information relating to Pantheon’s operations and personnel. Among other things, Pantheon provided financial information and descriptions of its organizational and management structure. The Directors also took into account information provided periodically throughout the previous year by Pantheon in Board meetings relating to the performance of its duties with respect to the Funds and the Directors’ knowledge of Pantheon’s management and the quality of the performance of Pantheon’s duties under the Investment Management Agreements. In the course of their deliberations regarding the Investment Management Agreements, the Directors evaluated, among other things: (a) the extent and quality of the services rendered by Pantheon to the Funds; (b) Pantheon’s investment philosophy, strategies and techniques in managing the Funds; (c) Pantheon’s expertise in buying, selling and managing private equity investments; (d) Pantheon’s global footprint and range of investment products; and (e) Pantheon’s compliance program. The Directors also took into account Pantheon’s undertaking to maintain contractual expense limitations for the Funds. The Directors also considered Pantheon’s risk management processes.
24
Annual Renewal of Investment Management Agreement (continued)
Performance
The Directors considered the performance of the Feeder Fund and the Master Fund for various periods and compared the performance of such Funds against the performance of an appropriate peer group of similar funds (the “Peer Group”) and the MSCI World Index, such Funds’ primary benchmark. The Directors noted that the Feeder Fund’s performance for Class 1 shares for the 1-year period ended December 31, 2023 was above the average performance of the Peer Group and below the performance of the MSCI World Index. The Directors also noted that the Feeder Fund outperformed the MSCI World Index for the 2018, 2021 and 2022 calendar years. The Directors noted that, because the Feeder Fund invests solely in the Master Fund, the Feeder Fund’s performance closely mirrored the performance of the Master Fund. The Directors also noted that the Corporate Subsidiary and the Lead Fund are wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Master Fund and that the Master Fund’s performance includes the Corporate Subsidiary and the Lead Fund. The Directors also took into account management’s discussion of the Feeder Fund’s and the Master Fund’s (including the Corporate Subsidiary’s and the Lead Fund’s) performance. The Directors concluded that the Feeder Fund’s and the Master Fund’s (including the Corporate Subsidiary’s and the Lead Fund’s) overall performance has been satisfactory.
Management Fees; Profitability; and Economies of Scale
In considering the reasonableness of the fees payable to Pantheon, the Directors noted that the Funds operate under expense limitation and reimbursement agreements. The Directors also noted that, pursuant to the expense limitation and reimbursement agreements, Pantheon has agreed to limit total operating expenses of the Feeder Fund, exclusive of certain enumerated items, to the annual rate of 1.45% and to limit the aggregate of the Master Fund’s total annual operating expenses, the Corporate Subsidiary’s total annual operating expenses, and the Lead Fund’s total annual operating expenses, exclusive of certain enumerated items (including the management fees paid by the Master Fund, the Corporate Subsidiary, and the Lead Fund), to the annual rate of 0.75%. The Directors also noted that Pantheon has fully waived the management fee of the Feeder Fund and intends to do so as long as the master/feeder structure remains in place. The Directors compared the gross and net expense ratios of the Master Fund and the Feeder Fund to the Peer Group. The Directors considered that the Funds’ expense limitation agreements shall continue until such time that Pantheon ceases to be the investment adviser of the applicable Fund or upon mutual agreement between Pantheon and the Board. The Directors concluded that, in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by Pantheon and the considerations noted above with respect to Pantheon, each Fund’s management fees and expenses are reasonable.
The Directors considered information regarding the profitability of Pantheon with respect to the provision of investment advisory services to the Funds in addition to the material benefits from economies of scale that Pantheon might realize with respect to the Funds as the Funds increase in assets. The Directors noted the undertaking by Pantheon to maintain contractual expense
25
Annual Renewal of Investment Management Agreement (continued)
limitation agreements for the Funds, and concluded that Pantheon is not currently realizing benefits from economies of scale that would warrant adjustments to the management fee at this time. The Directors also considered all revenues and other benefits, both direct and indirect (including any so-called “fallout benefits” such as reputational value derived from Pantheon serving as Investment Manager to the Funds), received by Pantheon and its affiliates from their relationships with the Funds and the significant risks undertaken as Investment Manager and sponsor of the Funds, including investment, operational, enterprise, entrepreneurial, litigation, regulatory and compliance risks.
After consideration of the foregoing, the Directors reached the following conclusions (in addition to the conclusions discussed above) regarding the Investment Management Agreements: (a) Pantheon has demonstrated that it possesses the capability and resources to perform the duties required of it under the Investment Management Agreements and (b) Pantheon maintains an appropriate compliance program.
Based on all of the above-mentioned factors and their related conclusions, with no single factor or conclusion being determinative and with each Director not necessarily attributing the same weight to each factor, the Directors concluded that approval of the Investment Management Agreements would be in the best interests of the Funds and their members. Accordingly, on June 13, 2024, the Directors, and separately a majority of the Independent Directors, voted to approve the Investment Management Agreements.

Read it carefully before investing or sending money.
† | Date reflects inception date of the Master Fund, not the Index. |
1 | Total return equals income yield plus unit price change and assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions. Returns are net of fees and may reflect offsets of Master Fund expenses as described in the prospectus. No adjustment has been made for taxes payable by unitholders on their reinvested dividends and capital gain distributions. Returns for periods greater than one year are annualized. The listed returns on the Master Fund are net of expenses. All returns are in U.S. dollars ($). |
2 | The MSCI World Index is a free float-adjusted market capitalization weighted index that is designed to measure the equity market performance of developed markets. Please go to msci.com for most current list of countries represented by the Index. Unlike the Master Fund, the MSCI World Index is unmanaged, is not available for investment and does not incur fees. |
3 | All MSCI data is provided “as is”. The products described herein are not sponsored or endorsed and have not been reviewed or passed on by MSCI. In no event shall MSCI, its affiliates or any MSCI data provider have any liability of any kind in connection with the MSCI data or the products described herein.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
September 30, 2024
1. | ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
AMG Pantheon Master Fund, LLC (the “Master Fund”) is organized as a Delaware limited liability company and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as a closed-end, non-diversified management investment company. The Master Fund’s investment objective is to seek long-term capital appreciation. The Master Fund expects to invest primarily in private investments, including primary and secondary investments in private equity, infrastructure, and other private asset funds (“Investment Funds”) and co-investments in portfolio companies.
The Master Fund offers a single class of units (“Units”) to “accredited investors” (as defined in Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”)) (the “Investors”), which may be purchased as of the first business day of each month at the Master Fund’s net asset value (“NAV”) per Unit. The Master Fund may, from time to time, offer to repurchase Units pursuant to written tenders by the Investors. Repurchases will be made at such times, in such amounts and on such terms as may be determined by the Master Fund’s Board of Directors (the “Board” or the “Directors”).
BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION: The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Master Fund include the accounts of AMG Pantheon Subsidiary Fund, LLC (the “Corporate Subsidiary”) and AMG Pantheon Lead Fund, LLC (the “Lead Fund”) (each a “Subsidiary” and together, the “Subsidiaries”), which are wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Master Fund and are organized as Delaware limited liability companies. The Subsidiaries have the same investment objectives and strategies as the Master Fund, and like the Master Fund are managed by Pantheon Ventures (US) LP (the “Investment Manager”). The Master Fund may invest up to 25% of its total assets in the Corporate Subsidiary and the Corporate Subsidiary permits the Master Fund to pursue its investment objective and strategies in a potentially tax-efficient manner and to satisfy regulated investment company tax requirements. The Master Fund may also invest a portion of its assets in the Lead Fund. The Lead Fund was organized for the purpose of facilitating the Master Fund’s use of a revolving credit facility. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. As of September 30, 2024, the Corporate Subsidiary holds investments in the amount of $309,274,655, which is inclusive of $53,433,205 related to a payable for investments purchased. The net assets of the Corporate Subsidiary were $300,255,307 which is 6.84% of the Master Fund’s consolidated net assets. As of September 30, 2024, the Lead Fund holds investments in the amount of $3,051,562,728. The net assets of the Lead Fund were $3,009,239,311, which is 68.59% of the Master Fund’s consolidated net assets.
The Master Fund’s consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), including accounting and reporting guidance pursuant to Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 applicable to investment companies. U.S. GAAP 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 consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and such differences could be material. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Master Fund in the preparation of its consolidated financial statements:

AMG Pantheon Master Fund, LLC
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
| a. | VALUATION OF INVESTMENTS: The Master Fund’s portfolio investments are generally valued based on an evaluation of fair value, pursuant to procedures established by the Investment Manager and under the general supervision of the Board. Pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act, the Board designated the Investment Manager as the Master Fund’s Valuation Designee to perform the Master Fund’s fair value determinations. Such determinations are subject to Board oversight and certain reporting and other requirements intended to ensure that the Board receives the information it needs to oversee the Investment Manager’s fair value determinations. |
Equity securities traded on a domestic or international securities exchange are valued at the last quoted sale price, or, lacking any sales, at the last quoted bid price. Equity securities traded on an international securities exchange and equity securities traded on NASDAQ or in a U.S. or non-U.S. over-the-counter market are valued at the market’s official closing price, or, if there are no trades on the applicable date, at the last quoted bid price. In addition, if the applicable market does not offer an official closing price or if the official closing price is not representative of the overall market, equity securities traded on an international securities exchange and equity securities traded in a non-U.S. over-the-counter market are valued at the last quoted sales price. The Master Fund’s listed equity investments are generally valued based on independent market quotations or prices or, if none, “evaluative” or other market based valuations provided by third-party pricing services.
Short-term debt obligations (debt obligations with maturities of one year or less at the time of issuance) that have 60 days or less remaining until maturity will be valued at amortized cost, provided that the amortized cost value is approximately the same as the fair value of the security valued without the use of amortized cost. Investments in other open-end registered investment companies are valued at their end of day NAV per share.
For direct investments and certain co-investments in portfolio companies, the Master Fund primarily uses the market or income approach to estimate the fair value of private investments. The market approach utilizes prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions, type of security, size of the position, degree of liquidity, restrictions on the disposition, latest round of financing data, current financial position and operating results, among other factors.
Investment Funds and certain co-investments are generally based on the valuations provided by the general partners or managers of underlying fund investments as of the date investments are valued. If a valuation provided by general partners or managers of the underlying fund investments is not available as of the date investments are valued, the Master Fund will value the Investment Fund or co-investment using the latest valuation provided by the general partners or managers of the underlying fund investments adjusted
26
AMG Pantheon Master Fund, LLC
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
for transaction and market activity, if applicable. Additionally, the Master Fund may utilize independent valuation firms to provide third-party valuation consulting services. The valuations provided by the general partners or managers typically reflect the fair value of the Master Fund’s capital account balance of each Investment Fund, including unrealized gains and losses, as reported in the financial reports or statements of the respective Investment Fund. The Valuation Committee of the Investment Manager reviews the capital account balances and may adjust the value of each Master Fund investment.
The values assigned to investments that are fair valued are based on available information and do not necessarily represent amounts that might ultimately be realized in the future, since such amounts depend on future developments inherent in long-term investments. Because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation, those estimated values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for the investments existed, and the differences could be material. The Board is presented with monthly reports summarizing fair value activity and quarterly reports summarizing fair value activity, material fair value matters that occurred during the quarter and outstanding securities fair valued by the Master Fund. Additionally, the Board is presented with an annual report that assesses the adequacy and effectiveness of the Investment Manager’s process for determining the fair value of the Master Fund’s investments.
U.S. GAAP defines fair value as the price that a fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. U.S. GAAP also establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and a three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability. Inputs may be observable or unobservable and refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Master Fund. Unobservable inputs reflect the Master Fund’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. Each investment is assigned a level based upon the observability of the inputs which are significant to the overall valuation.
The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized below:
Level 1 – inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical investments (e.g., listed equity securities, open-end investment companies)
Level 2 – other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market
27
AMG Pantheon Master Fund, LLC
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
corroborated inputs) (e.g., debt securities, government securities, foreign currency exchange contracts, foreign securities utilizing international fair value pricing, broker-quoted securities, fair valued securities with observable inputs)
Level 3 – inputs are significant unobservable inputs (including the Master Fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments) (e.g., fair valued securities with unobservable inputs)
Changes in inputs or methodologies used for valuing investments may result in a transfer in or out of levels within the fair value hierarchy. The inputs or methodologies used for valuing investments may not necessarily be an indication of the risk associated with investing in those investments.
| b. | SECURITY TRANSACTIONS: Security transactions are recorded as of the date the Master Fund obtained a right to demand the securities purchased or to collect the proceeds of sales, and incurred an obligation to pay the price of the securities purchased or to deliver the securities sold, respectively (i.e. trade/effective date). Trade/effective date will be the date the Master Fund is legally committed to a security transaction and all significant contingencies, including all necessary approvals, are satisfied. Realized gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. The payable for investments purchased for security transactions with an original settlement period of over one year are reflected at net present value. Monies paid by the Master Fund in advance of the closing date of a private equity investment are held in escrow until the investment’s closing date and are reflected in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities as Investment Funds paid in advance. |
| c. | INVESTMENT INCOME AND EXPENSES: Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Dividend and interest income on foreign securities is recorded gross of any withholding tax. Interest income, which includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, is accrued as earned. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are reported at the fair market value of the securities received. Distributions from Investment Funds and co-investments occur at irregular intervals and the exact timing of distribution from the Investment Funds and co-investments cannot be determined. The classification of income received from the Investment Funds and co-investments are based on the investment distribution notices received from the investment’s general partner or investment manager. Expenses are recorded on an accrual basis. |
| d. | DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS: The Master Fund distributions resulting from either net investment income or realized net capital gains, if any, will normally be declared and paid at least annually as described in the Master Fund’s registration statement. Distributions to Investors are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from net investment income and net realized capital gains for financial statement purposes (U.S. |

GAAP). Differences may be permanent or temporary. Permanent differences, including book tax differences relating to Investors’ distributions, are reclassified among capital accounts in the consolidated financial statements to reflect their tax character. Temporary differences arise when certain items of income, expense and gain or loss are recognized in different periods for financial statement and tax purposes; these differences will reverse at some time in the future. As of September 30, 2024, the Master Fund’s tax year end, the Master Fund had permanent differences relating to the tax treatment of its investments in the Corporate Subsidiary and certain investment partnerships and the write off of net operating losses. The Master Fund had temporary differences relating to organization costs, differences between book and tax treatment of investments in certain investment partnerships, and passive foreign investment companies.
Permanent differences resulted in the following reclassifications between distributable earnings and paid-in capital:
| | |
Distributable Earnings | | Paid-In Capital |
$ (8,344,426) | | $ 8,344,426 |
The tax character of distributions paid during the tax years ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023 was as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
Distributions paid from: | | 2024 | | | 2023 | |
Ordinary income | | | $ – | | | | $ – | |
Long-term capital gains | | | 20,407,958 | | | | 29,399,242 | |
| | | | | | | | |
Total | | | $ 20,407,958 | | | | $ 29,399,242 | |
| | | | | | | | |
On December 31, 2023, the Master Fund paid a long-term capital gains distribution in the amount of $20,407,958.
As of September 30, 2024, the components of accumulated earnings/(deficit) on a tax basis were as follows:
| | | | |
| |
Undistributed long-term capital gains | | | $ 285,049 | |
| |
Late year loss deferral | | | $ (6,034,369) | |
| |
Other temporary differences | | | $ (33,183) | |
Based on the approximate cost of investments for federal income tax purposes at September 30, 2024, of $3,422,531,414, the Master Fund’s aggregate gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation were $1,022,657,503 and $(5,449,577) respectively, resulting in net unrealized appreciation of $1,017,207,926.
29
AMG Pantheon Master Fund, LLC
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
Under current tax law, net capital losses realized after October 31 and net ordinary losses incurred after December 31 may be deferred and treated as occurring on the first day of the following tax year. The Master Fund’s carryforward losses, post-October losses and post-December losses are determined only at the end of each tax year. For the tax year ended September 30, 2024, the Master Fund elected to defer an ordinary late-year loss of $6,034,369.
| e. | FEDERAL TAXES: The Master Fund qualifies as a regulated investment company and intends to comply with the requirements under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “IRC” or the “Code”), and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income and gains to its Investors and to meet certain diversification and income requirements with respect to investment companies. The Master Fund’s tax year end is September 30. The Investment Manager has analyzed the Master Fund’s tax positions as of September 30, 2024, and for all open tax years (generally, the three prior taxable years), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Master Fund’s consolidated financial statements specific to the Master Fund. Additionally, the Investment Manager is not aware of any tax position for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next twelve months. |
The consolidated financial statements include the Corporate Subsidiary wholly owned by the Master Fund for which a provision for corporate income taxes has been included below. If the Master Fund were to fail to meet the requirements of Subchapter M of the IRC to qualify as a regulated investment company, and if the Master Fund were ineligible to or otherwise were not to cure such failure, the Master Fund would be subject to tax on its taxable income at corporate rates, whether or not distributed to its Investors, and all distributions out of income and profits would be taxable to Investors as ordinary income. In addition, the Master Fund could be required to recognize unrealized gains, pay substantial taxes and interest and make substantial distributions before requalifying as a regulated investment company that is accorded special tax treatment under Subchapter M of the IRC.
Additionally, based on the Master Fund’s understanding of the tax rules and rates related to income, gains and transactions for the foreign jurisdictions in which it invests, the Master Fund will provide for foreign taxes, and where appropriate, deferred foreign taxes.
The Lead Fund is a disregarded entity and therefore is not subject to U.S. income taxes. Additionally, the Master Fund’s investment in the Lead Fund, as a whole, is not limited to 25% of the Master Fund’s total assets for purposes of the asset diversification test under Subchapter M of the Code. As a wholly-owned subsidiary, the Lead Fund’s net income and capital gains, if any, will be included each year in the Master Fund’s investment company taxable income and net capital gain.

The Corporate Subsidiary is subject to U.S. federal and state income taxes. This taxable entity is not consolidated for income tax purposes and may generate income tax assets or liabilities that reflect the net tax effect of temporary differences between the carrying amount of the assets and liabilities for financial reporting and tax purposes and tax loss carryforwards.
The Corporate Subsidiary recorded a provision for income tax expense (benefit) for the year ended September 30, 2024. This provision for income tax expense (benefit) is comprised of the following current and deferred income tax expense (benefit):
| | | | | | | | | | | | |

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
The Corporate Subsidiary 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. Management has analyzed the Corporate Subsidiary’s tax positions, and has concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions taken on U.S. tax returns and state tax returns filed since inception of the Corporate Subsidiary. The Corporate Subsidiary is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next 12 months.
| f. | CAPITAL LOSS CARRYOVERS AND DEFERRALS: As of September 30, 2024, the Master Fund had no capital loss carryovers for federal income tax purposes. Should the Master Fund incur net capital losses for the tax year ending September 30, 2025, such amounts may be used to offset future realized capital gains for an unlimited time period and retain their character as short-term and/or long-term. |
| g. | CAPITAL STOCK: The Master Fund’s Limited Liability Company Agreement authorizes an issuance of an unlimited number of Units, without par value. The Master Fund records sales and repurchases of its capital stock on the trade date. |
For the six months ended September 30, 2024 (unaudited) and the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024, the Master Fund’s capital Unit transactions were as follows:

At September 30, 2024, one affiliated Investor of record, the Feeder Fund, owned 95% of the Master Fund’s net assets and one unaffiliated Investor owned 5% of the Master Fund’s net assets. Transactions by these Investors may have a material impact on the Master Fund.
| h. | CASH AND CASH HELD IN ESCROW: Cash consists of monies held at The Bank of New York Mellon (the “Custodian” or “BNYM”). Such cash, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Master Fund has not experienced any losses in such accounts and does not believe it is exposed to any significant credit risk on such accounts. There are no restrictions on the cash held by the Master Fund’s Custodian. Cash held in escrow |

represents monies received in advance of the effective date of an Investor’s subscription. The monies are deposited with the Master Fund’s transfer agent, and will be released from escrow on the effective date of the subscription. There was no cash held in escrow at September 30, 2024.
| i. | FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION: The books and records of the Master Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. The value of investments, assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars is translated into U.S. dollars based upon current foreign exchange rates. Purchases and sales of foreign investments, income and expenses are converted into U.S. dollars based on currency exchange rates prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. Net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on foreign currency transactions represents: (1) foreign exchange gains and losses from the sale and holdings of foreign currencies; (2) gains and losses between trade date and settlement date on investment securities transactions and foreign currency exchange contracts; and (3) gains and losses from the difference between amounts of interest and dividends recorded and the amounts actually received. |
The Master Fund does not isolate the net realized and unrealized gain or loss resulting from changes in exchange rates from the fluctuations in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments.
2. | AGREEMENTS AND TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES |
Each of the Master Fund, the Corporate Subsidiary, and the Lead Fund has entered into an investment management agreement with the Investment Manager, a limited partnership organized under the laws of the State of Delaware and registered as an investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended. Affiliated Managers Group, Inc. (“AMG”) indirectly owns a majority of the interests of the Investment Manager. Investment management fees are paid directly by each of the Master Fund and the Subsidiaries to the Investment Manager at the annual rate of 0.70% of the net assets of the Master Fund, the Corporate Subsidiary, and the Lead Fund, respectively, as of the end of each month, determined before giving effect to the accrual of the investment management fee being calculated or to any purchases or repurchases of interests of the Master Fund, the Corporate Subsidiary, and the Lead Fund or any distributions by the Master Fund, the Corporate Subsidiary, and the Lead Fund. The Investment Manager has agreed to waive the portion of the management fee that the Investment Manager otherwise would have been entitled to receive with respect to any particular month from the Master Fund in an amount equal to the investment management fee paid to the Investment Manager under each Subsidiary’s investment management agreement with the Investment Manager with respect to such month. During the six months ended September 30, 2024, the Investment Manager waived investment management fees payable by the Master Fund in the amount of $9,911,605.

AMG Pantheon Master Fund, LLC
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
The Investment Manager has entered into an Expense Limitation and Reimbursement Agreement with the Master Fund, the Corporate Subsidiary, and the Lead Fund to pay, waive, or reimburse each such Fund’s expenses such that the aggregate of each such Fund’s total annual operating expenses (exclusive of certain “Excluded Expenses” listed below) do not exceed 0.75% per annum of each such Fund’s net assets as of the end of each calendar month (the “Expense Cap”). “Excluded Expenses” is defined to include (i) the investment management fees paid by the Master Fund, the Corporate Subsidiary, and the Lead Fund and any payments made by the Master Fund in respect of any investment management fee that had been previously waived by the Investment Manager; (ii) fees, expenses, allocations, carried interests, etc. of the private equity investment funds and co-investments in portfolio companies in which any of the Master Fund, the Corporate Subsidiary, and the Lead Fund invests (including all acquired fund fees and expenses); (iii) transaction costs, including legal costs and brokerage commissions, of any of the Master Fund, the Corporate Subsidiary, and the Lead Fund associated with the acquisition and disposition of primary interests, secondary interests, co- investments, exchange traded fund investments, and other investments; (iv) interest payments incurred by any of the Master Fund, the Corporate Subsidiary, and the Lead Fund; (v) fees and expenses incurred in connection with any credit facilities obtained by any of the Master Fund, the Corporate Subsidiary, and the Lead Fund; (vi) taxes of any of the Master Fund, the Corporate Subsidiary, and the Lead Fund; (vii) extraordinary expenses (as determined in the sole discretion of the Investment Manager) of any of the Master Fund, the Corporate Subsidiary, and the Lead Fund; (viii) fees and expenses billed directly to the Corporate Subsidiary by any accounting firm for auditing, tax and other professional services provided to the Corporate Subsidiary, and fees and expenses billed directly to the Lead Fund by any accounting firm for auditing, tax and other professional services provided to the Lead Fund; and (ix) fees and expenses billed directly to the Corporate Subsidiary for custody and fund administration services provided to the Corporate Subsidiary, and fees and expenses billed directly to the Lead Fund for custody and fund administration services provided to the Lead Fund. To the extent that the Master Fund’s, Corporate Subsidiary’s, or Lead Fund’s total annual operating expenses for any month exceed the Expense Cap, the Investment Manager will pay, waive, or reimburse such Fund for expenses to the extent necessary to eliminate such excess.
The Master Fund, the Corporate Subsidiary, and the Lead Fund will be obligated to pay the Investment Manager all amounts previously paid, waived, or reimbursed by the Investment Manager with respect to such Fund pursuant to such Expense Cap, provided that (a) the amount of such additional payment in any year, together with all expenses of the Master Fund, the Corporate Subsidiary, and the Lead Fund, in the aggregate, would not cause the aggregate of each such Fund’s total annual operating expenses, exclusive of Excluded Expenses, in any such year to exceed the amount of the Expense Cap, (b) the amount of such additional payment shall be borne directly or indirectly pro rata by all Master Fund unitholders and (c) no additional payments by the Master Fund, the Corporate Subsidiary, or the Lead Fund, as applicable, will be made with respect to amounts paid, waived, or reimbursed by the Investment Manager more than thirty-six (36) months after the date the Master Fund, the Corporate Subsidiary, or the Lead Fund, as applicable, accrues a liability with respect to such amounts paid, waived, or reimbursed by the Investment Manager. The Expense Limitation and Reimbursement Agreement shall continue until such time that the Investment Manager ceases to be the investment manager of the Master Fund or upon mutual agreement between the Investment Manager and the Master Fund’s Board. During the fiscal period ended September 30, 2024, the Investment Manager did not reimburse the Master Fund or recoup any previously reimbursed expenses. As of September 30, 2024, the Master Fund does not have any reimbursements subject to recoupment.

AMG Pantheon Master Fund, LLC
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
Each of the Master Fund, the Corporate Subsidiary, and the Lead Fund has entered into an Administration Agreement under which AMG Funds LLC, a subsidiary and the U.S. wealth platform of AMG, serves as the administrator (the “Administrator”) and is responsible for certain aspects of managing the Master Fund’s and Subsidiaries’ operations, including administration and Investor services to the Master Fund and Subsidiaries, their Investors, and certain institutions, such as broker-dealers and registered investment advisers, that advise or act as an intermediary with the Master Fund’s Investors. Each of the Master Fund, Corporate Subsidiary, and Lead Fund pays a fee to the Administrator at the rate of 0.20% per annum of such Fund’s average monthly net assets, and the Master Fund is subject to a minimum annual fee of $344,000 for these services. The Administrator has agreed to waive the portion of the administration fee that the Administrator otherwise would have been entitled to receive with respect to any particular month from the Master Fund in an amount equal to the administration fee paid to the Administrator under each of the Corporate Subsidiary’s and Lead Fund’s Administration Agreements with the Administrator with respect to such month. During the six months ended September 30, 2024, the Administrator waived administration fees payable by the Master Fund in the amount of $2,832,470.
The Board provides supervision of the affairs of the Feeder Fund, the Master Fund and the Subsidiaries, and other trusts within the AMG Funds family of mutual funds. The Directors of the Master Fund who are not affiliated with the Investment Manager receive an annual retainer and per meeting fees for regular, special and telephonic meetings, and they are reimbursed for out-of-pocket expenses incurred while carrying out their duties as Board members. The Chairperson of the Board and the Audit Committee Chair receive additional annual retainers. The Directors’ fees and expenses are split evenly between the Master Fund and the Feeder Fund. Certain Directors and Officers of the Master Fund are Officers and/or Directors of the Feeder Fund, the Subsidiaries, the Administrator, the Investment Manager and AMG.
3. | INVESTMENTS IN PRIVATE EQUITY AND INVESTMENT FUNDS |
Private equity investments are typically made in non-public companies through privately negotiated transactions. Private equity investments may be structured using a range of financial instruments, including common and preferred equity, convertible securities, subordinated debt and warrants or other derivatives.
Investment Funds, often organized as limited partnerships, are the most common vehicles for making private equity investments. In such Investment Funds, investors usually commit to provide up to a certain amount of capital when requested by the Investment Fund’s manager or general partner. The general partner then makes private equity investments on behalf of the Investment Fund. The Investment Fund’s investments are usually realized, or “exited”, after a three- to seven-year holding period through a private sale, an initial public offering (IPO) or a recapitalization. Proceeds of such exits are then distributed to the Investment Fund’s investors. The Investment
35
AMG Pantheon Master Fund, LLC
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
Funds themselves typically have a term of ten to twelve years. The Investment Funds in which the Master Fund invests may charge a management fee of 1.00% - 2.00% and approximately 20% of net profits as a carried interest allocation, subject to a preferred return and a claw back. Detailed information about the Investment Funds’ portfolios is not publicly available.
Some of the investments that the Investment Manager will consider with respect to the Master Fund include:
| o | | Primary Private Investment Funds: Primary investments (primaries) are interests or investments in newly established Investment Funds that are typically acquired by way of subscription during their fundraising period. Primary investors subscribe for interests during an initial fundraising period, and their capital commitments are then used to fund investments in a number of individual operating companies during a defined investment period. The investments of the fund are usually unknown at the time of commitment, and investors typically have little or no ability to influence the investments that are made during the fund’s life. |
| o | | Secondary Private Investment Funds: Secondary investments (secondaries) are interests in existing private equity funds that are typically acquired from existing investors in such Investment Funds in privately negotiated transactions, typically after the end of the private equity fund’s fundraising period. |
| o | | Direct Investments/Co-Investments: Direct investments involve acquiring (directly or indirectly) an interest in securities issued by an operating company. Co-investments represent opportunities to separately invest in specific portfolio companies that are otherwise represented in an Investment Fund. Such investments are typically made as co-investments alongside Investment Funds, and are usually structured such that the lead investor holds a controlling interest. Co-investments are typically offered to Investment Fund investors when the Investment Fund manager believes that there is an attractive investment for the Investment Fund but the total size of the potential holding exceeds the targeted size for the Investment Fund. Direct investments and co-investments, unlike investments in Investment Funds, generally do not bear an additional layer of fees and bear significantly reduced fees. |

4. | PURCHASES AND SALES OF SECURITIES |
Purchases and sales/distributions of securities (excluding short-term and U.S. Government obligations) for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2024 were $668,229,185 and $85,933,623, respectively. There were no purchases or sales of U.S. Government obligations for the Master Fund.
The Master Fund invests in Investment Funds and certain co-investments of foreign entities and in instruments denominated in foreign currencies which involve risks not typically associated with investments in domestic securities. Non-domestic securities carry special risks, such as exposure to currency fluctuations, less developed or less efficient trading markets, political instability, a lack of company information, differing auditing and legal standards, and, potentially, less liquidity. The Master Fund’s investments in emerging market countries are exposed to additional risks. The Master Fund’s performance will be influenced by political, social and economic factors affecting companies in emerging market countries. Emerging market countries generally have economic structures that are less diverse and mature, and political systems that are less stable, than those of developed countries. Realized gains in certain countries may be subject to foreign taxes at the Master Fund level and the Master Fund would pay such foreign taxes at the appropriate rate for each jurisdiction.
6. | COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES |
Under the Master Fund’s organizational documents, its Directors and Officers are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Master Fund. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Master Fund may enter into contracts and agreements that contain a variety of representations and warranties, which may provide general indemnifications. The maximum exposure to the Master Fund under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Master Fund that have not yet occurred.
The Master Fund has entered into an $800 million credit facility to satisfy repurchase requests, to meet capital calls and cover unfunded commitments, and to otherwise provide the Master Fund with temporary liquidity. The revolving line of credit is secured by assets of the Master Fund including assets of the Corporate Subsidiary and Lead Fund.
Prior to July 25, 2024, the amount of the credit facility was $325 million; the interest rate on outstanding loans was equal to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”), plus 2.85%; and the Master Fund paid a 0.925% commitment fee on the outstanding principal amount of the loans and an annual structuring fee of 0.20% of the committed loan amount. However, on July 25, 2024,
38
AMG Pantheon Master Fund, LLC
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
the agreement governing the credit facility was amended and restated to, among other changes, increase the amount to $800 million. Under the amended and restated agreement, the interest rate on outstanding loans is equal to the SOFR, plus 3.00%. The Master Fund pays a blended 0.925% commitment fee on the outstanding principal amount of the loans, an annual structuring fee of 0.25% of the committed loan amount, and an annual agency fee up to $80,000.
The annual structuring and agency fees are amortized over a 12-month period. The commitment fee and the amortization of the annual structuring fee and agency fee are reflected as “credit facility fees” on the Consolidated Statement of Operations. Any interest incurred on the line of credit utilized is included in the Consolidated Statement of Operations as interest expense. For the six months ended September 30, 2024, the Master Fund did not utilize the line of credit.
8. | FINANCIAL AND OTHER RISK FACTORS |
An investment in the Master Fund involves significant risks, including industry risk, liquidity risk and economic conditions risk, that should be carefully considered prior to investing and should only be considered by persons financially able to maintain their investment and who can afford a loss of a substantial part or all of such investment.
The Master Fund intends to invest a substantial portion of its available capital in private equity securities including investments in private equity, infrastructure, and other private asset funds. These investments are generally restricted securities that are subject to substantial holding periods and are not traded in public markets so that the Master Fund may not be able to resell some of its holdings for extended periods, which may be several years. As a non-diversified fund, the Master Fund may have a concentration of investments in a limited number of portfolio securities. The Master Fund may also have a concentration of investments in a particular sector. Investment performance of the sector may have a significant impact on the performance of the Master Fund. The Master Fund’s investments are also subject to the risk associated with investing in private equity securities. Private equity securities are illiquid and can be subject to various restrictions on resale. There can be no assurance that the Master Fund will be able to realize the value of any private equity investments in a timely manner. Additionally, Investment Funds are generally closed-end private equity partnerships with no right to withdraw prior to the termination of the partnership. The frequency of withdrawals is dictated by the governing documents of the Investment Funds.
Terrorism, war, natural disasters and the spread of infectious illness or other public health issues, including epidemics or pandemics, may result in, among other things, supply chain disruptions, geopolitical risk and economic sanctions that can disrupt global economies and financial markets. Economic sanctions against a particular country or countries, organizations, entities and/or individuals (such as sanctions imposed against Russia, Russian entities and Russian individuals in connection with Russia’s military action in Ukraine) may have significant implications around the world. The Master Fund is unable to predict the full impact that these events will have on the values and liquidity of the Master Fund and its underlying portfolio investments, and consequently, the Master Fund’s performance.
39
AMG Pantheon Master Fund, LLC
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
Units in the Master Fund provide limited liquidity because repurchases of Units are subject to approval of the Master Fund’s Board. Therefore, an investment in the Master Fund is suitable only for investors who can bear the risks associated with limited liquidity of their investments and an investment in the Master Fund should be viewed as a long-term investment. No guarantee or representation is made that the investment objective will be met. A discussion of the risks associated with an investment in the Master Fund is provided in the Feeder Fund’s Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information.
Subsequent events after September 30, 2024, have been evaluated through the date at which the consolidated financial statements were issued and the Master Fund has determined that no material events or transactions occurred.

Annual Renewal of Investment Management Agreement
At an in-person meeting held on June 13, 2024, the Boards of Directors (the “Directors”) of AMG Pantheon Fund, LLC (the “Feeder Fund”), AMG Pantheon Master Fund, LLC (the “Master Fund”), AMG Pantheon Subsidiary Fund, LLC (the “Corporate Subsidiary”), and AMG Pantheon Lead Fund, LLC (the “Lead Fund” and, together with the Feeder Fund, the Master Fund, and the Corporate Subsidiary, the “Funds”), and separately a majority of the Directors who are not “interested persons” of the Funds (“Independent Directors”) within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), voted to approve (i) the investment management agreement between Pantheon Ventures (US) LP (“Pantheon”) and the Feeder Fund, (ii) the investment management agreement between Pantheon and the Master Fund, (iii) the investment management agreement between Pantheon and the Corporate Subsidiary, and (iv) the investment management agreement between Pantheon and the Lead Fund, in each case, as amended at any time prior to the date of the meeting (collectively, the “Investment Management Agreements”). The Independent Directors were separately represented by independent legal counsel in connection with their consideration of the approval of the Investment Management Agreements.
In considering each Investment Management Agreement, the Directors reviewed a variety of materials relating to each Fund and Pantheon, including, with respect to the Master Fund and the Feeder Fund, comparative performance, fee and expense information for an appropriate peer group of similar funds and performance information for a relevant benchmark index, and, with respect to all of the Funds, the nature, extent and quality of services, other relevant matters, including management fees, the profitability of Pantheon and its affiliates, and the potential for economies of scale that may be shared with the Funds, and other information provided to them on a periodic basis throughout the year. Prior to voting, the Independent Directors: (a) reviewed the foregoing information with their independent legal counsel; (b) received materials from their independent legal counsel discussing the legal standards applicable to their consideration of the Investment Management Agreements; and (c) met with their independent legal counsel in a private session at which no representatives of management were present.
Nature, extent and quality of services
In considering the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by Pantheon under the Investment Management Agreements, the Directors reviewed information relating to Pantheon’s operations and personnel. Among other things, Pantheon provided financial information and descriptions of its organizational and management structure. The Directors also took into account information provided periodically throughout the previous year by Pantheon in Board meetings relating to the performance of its duties with respect to the Funds and the Directors’ knowledge of Pantheon’s management and the quality of the performance of Pantheon’s duties under the Investment Management Agreements. In the course of their deliberations regarding the Investment Management Agreements, the Directors evaluated, among other things: (a) the extent and quality of the services rendered by Pantheon to the Funds; (b) Pantheon’s investment philosophy, strategies and techniques in managing the Funds; (c) Pantheon’s expertise in buying, selling and managing private equity investments; (d) Pantheon’s global footprint and range of investment products; and (e) Pantheon’s compliance program. The Directors also took into account Pantheon’s undertaking to maintain contractual expense limitations for the Funds. The Directors also considered Pantheon’s risk management processes.
41
Annual Renewal of Investment Management Agreement (continued)
Performance
The Directors considered the performance of the Feeder Fund and the Master Fund for various periods and compared the performance of such Funds against the performance of an appropriate peer group of similar funds (the “Peer Group”) and the MSCI World Index, such Funds’ primary benchmark. The Directors noted that the Feeder Fund’s performance for Class 1 shares for the 1-year period ended December 31, 2023 was above the average performance of the Peer Group and below the performance of the MSCI World Index. The Directors also noted that the Feeder Fund outperformed the MSCI World Index for the 2018, 2021 and 2022 calendar years. The Directors noted that, because the Feeder Fund invests solely in the Master Fund, the Feeder Fund’s performance closely mirrored the performance of the Master Fund. The Directors also noted that the Corporate Subsidiary and the Lead Fund are wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Master Fund and that the Master Fund’s performance includes the Corporate Subsidiary and the Lead Fund. The Directors also took into account management’s discussion of the Feeder Fund’s and the Master Fund’s (including the Corporate Subsidiary’s and the Lead Fund’s) performance. The Directors concluded that the Feeder Fund’s and the Master Fund’s (including the Corporate Subsidiary’s and the Lead Fund’s) overall performance has been satisfactory.
Management Fees; Profitability; and Economies of Scale
In considering the reasonableness of the fees payable to Pantheon, the Directors noted that the Funds operate under expense limitation and reimbursement agreements. The Directors also noted that, pursuant to the expense limitation and reimbursement agreements, Pantheon has agreed to limit total operating expenses of the Feeder Fund, exclusive of certain enumerated items, to the annual rate of 1.45% and to limit the aggregate of the Master Fund’s total annual operating expenses, the Corporate Subsidiary’s total annual operating expenses, and the Lead Fund’s total annual operating expenses, exclusive of certain enumerated items (including the management fees paid by the Master Fund, the Corporate Subsidiary, and the Lead Fund), to the annual rate of 0.75%. The Directors also noted that Pantheon has fully waived the management fee of the Feeder Fund and intends to do so as long as the master/feeder structure remains in place. The Directors compared the gross and net expense ratios of the Master Fund and the Feeder Fund to the Peer Group. The Directors considered that the Funds’ expense limitation agreements shall continue until such time that Pantheon ceases to be the investment adviser of the applicable Fund or upon mutual agreement between Pantheon and the Board. The Directors concluded that, in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by Pantheon and the considerations noted above with respect to Pantheon, each Fund’s management fees and expenses are reasonable.
The Directors considered information regarding the profitability of Pantheon with respect to the provision of investment advisory services to the Funds in addition to the material benefits from economies of scale that Pantheon might realize with respect to the Funds as the Funds increase
42
Annual Renewal of Investment Management Agreement (continued)
in assets. The Directors noted the undertaking by Pantheon to maintain contractual expense limitation agreements for the Funds, and concluded that Pantheon is not currently realizing benefits from economies of scale that would warrant adjustments to the management fee at this time. The Directors also considered all revenues and other benefits, both direct and indirect (including any so-called “fallout benefits” such as reputational value derived from Pantheon serving as Investment Manager to the Funds), received by Pantheon and its affiliates from their relationships with the Funds and the significant risks undertaken as Investment Manager and sponsor of the Funds, including investment, operational, enterprise, entrepreneurial, litigation, regulatory and compliance risks.
After consideration of the foregoing, the Directors reached the following conclusions (in addition to the conclusions discussed above) regarding the Investment Management Agreements: (a) Pantheon has demonstrated that it possesses the capability and resources to perform the duties required of it under the Investment Management Agreements and (b) Pantheon maintains an appropriate compliance program.
Based on all of the above-mentioned factors and their related conclusions, with no single factor or conclusion being determinative and with each Director not necessarily attributing the same weight to each factor, the Directors concluded that approval of the Investment Management Agreements would be in the best interests of the Funds and their members. Accordingly, on June 13, 2024, the Directors, and separately a majority of the Independent Directors, voted to approve the Investment Management Agreements.
