AIP Alternative Lending Fund P
Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited)
March 31, 2020
1. Organization
AIP Alternative Lending Fund P (the "Fund") was organized under the laws of the State of Delaware as a statutory trust on June 14, 2017. The Fund commenced operations on October 1, 2018 and operates pursuant to an Agreement and Declaration of Trust (the "Trust Deed"). The Fund is registered under the U.S. Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as a closed-end, non-diversified management investment company. While non-diversified for 1940 Act purposes, the Fund intends to comply with the diversification requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), as such requirements are described in Note 2. The Fund has no fixed termination date and will continue unless the Fund is otherwise terminated under the terms of the Trust Deed or unless and until required by law.
The Fund is a "Feeder" fund in a "Master-Feeder" structure whereby the Fund invests substantially all of its assets in AIP Alternative Lending Fund A (the "Master Fund"). The Master Fund is a statutory trust organized under the laws of the State of Delaware and is registered under the 1940 Act as a closed-end, non-diversified management investment company (notwithstanding its compliance with Subchapter M diversification requirements).
The Fund's investment objective is to seek to provide total return with an emphasis on current income. The Fund invests substantially all of its assets in the Master Fund, which has the same investment objective and strategies as the Fund. The Master Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing, primarily through the Trust (as defined below), in alternative lending assets that generate interest or other income streams that the Adviser (as defined below) believes offer access to credit risk premium. Alternative lending assets include loans originated through non-traditional, or alternative, lending platforms ("Platforms") ("Loans") or alternative lending securities that provide the Master Fund with exposure to such instruments ("Securities"), collectively referred to as "Investments". Securities may include rated senior classes of asset-backed securities as well as unrated subordinated interests in pools of alternative lending securitizations and publicly or privately offered equity or debt securities, including warrants of Platforms or companies that own or operate Platforms.
As of March 31, 2020, the Fund had a 29.85% ownership interest in the Master Fund. The consolidated financial statements of the Master Fund, including the Consolidated Condensed Schedule of Investments, are attached to this report and should be read in conjunction with the Fund's financial statements.
The Master Fund generally invests in Loans through MPLI Capital Holdings (the "Trust"), a wholly-owned subsidiary trust of the Master Fund. The Trust was organized under the laws of the State of Delaware as a statutory trust on May 10, 2018. Wilmington Savings Fund Society, FSB, serves as the trustee of the Trust. The Trust operates pursuant to a trust agreement in order to achieve the Master Fund's investment objective, as described above.
Morgan Stanley AIP GP LP (the "Adviser") serves as the Master Fund's investment adviser. The Adviser is a limited partnership formed under the laws of the State of Delaware and is registered as an investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended. The Adviser is an affiliate of Morgan Stanley and is responsible for providing day-to-day investment management services to the Master Fund, subject to the

AIP Alternative Lending Fund P
Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (continued)
1. Organization (continued)
supervision of the Master Fund's Board of Trustees (each member a "Trustee" and, collectively, the "Board"). The Fund's Adviser and Board are the same as the Master Fund's.
The Board has overall responsibility for monitoring and overseeing the Adviser's implementation of the Fund's operations and investment program. A majority of the Trustees are not "interested persons" (as defined by the 1940 Act) of the Fund or the Adviser. The same Trustees also serve as the Master Fund's Board.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
The following significant accounting policies are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("US GAAP"). Such policies are consistently followed by the Fund in preparation of its financial statements. Management has determined that the Fund is an investment company in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 946, "Financial Services – Investment Companies," for the purpose of financial reporting. The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with US 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 increases or decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Fund's financial statements are stated in United States dollars.
The Master Fund consolidates the Trust and has included all of the assets and liabilities and revenues and expenses of the Trust in the accompanying Master Fund's consolidated financial statements. Intercompany balances have been eliminated through consolidation, as applicable. The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Master Fund include the accounts of the Master Fund and of the Trust for the period from October 1, 2019 to March 31, 2020.
Investment in the Fund
The Fund offers on a continuous basis through Morgan Stanley Distribution, Inc. (the "Distributor") up to 500,000 shares of beneficial interest ("Shares"). The initial closing date ("Initial Closing Date") for the public offering of Shares was October 1, 2018. Shares were offered during an initial public offering period which ended on the Initial Closing Date at an initial offering price of $1,000 per Share and have been offered in a continuous offering thereafter at the Fund's then current net asset value per Share. The Distributor may enter into selected dealer agreements with various brokers and dealers (in such capacity, "Service Agents") that have agreed to participate in the distribution of the Fund's Shares. The Distributor is an affiliate of the Adviser and may be affiliated with one of more service agents. Shares may be purchased as of the first business day of each month at the Fund's then current net asset value ("NAV") per Share, plus any applicable sales load from the Distributor or Service Agent. Investors purchasing Shares in the Fund ("Shareholders") may be charged a sales load of up to 3% of the amount of the investor's purchase. The Distributor or Service Agent may, in its discretion, waive the sales load for certain investors.

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Investment in the Fund (continued)
Shares are to be sold only to investors that represent that they are "accredited investors" within the meaning of Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Distributor and/or any Service Agent may impose additional eligibility requirements for investors who purchase shares through the Distributor or such Service Agent. The minimum initial investment in the Fund by any investor is $50,000 and the minimum additional investment in the Fund by any investor is $25,000. The minimum initial and additional investments may be reduced by the Fund with respect to certain individual investors or classes of investors. Investors may only purchase their Shares through the Distributor or through a Service Agent.
The Fund may from time to time offer to repurchase Shares pursuant to written tenders by Shareholders, and each such repurchase offer will generally be conducted in parallel with similar repurchase offers made by the Master Fund with respect to shares of the Master Fund. Each such similar offer by the Master Fund with respect to shares of the Master Fund will generally apply to between 5% to 25% of the net assets of the Master Fund. Repurchases will be made at such times, in such amounts and on such terms as may be determined by the Board, in its sole discretion. In determining whether the Master Fund should offer to repurchase Shares, the Board will consider the recommendations of the Adviser as to the timing of such an offer, as well as a variety of operational, business and economic factors. The Adviser expects that, generally, it will recommend to the Board that the Master Fund offers to repurchase Shares from Shareholders quarterly, with such repurchases to occur as of each March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31. Each repurchase offer will generally commence approximately 90 days prior to the applicable repurchase date.
Investment in the Master Fund
The Fund records its investment in the Master Fund at fair value, which is represented by the Fund's proportionate interest in the net assets of the Master Fund as of March 31, 2020. Valuation of Loans and Securities held by the Master Fund, including the Master Fund's disclosure of Investments under the three-tier hierarchy, is discussed in the notes to the Master Fund's consolidated financial statements. The performance of the Fund is directly affected by the performance of the Master Fund. The consolidated financial statements of the Master Fund, which are attached, are an integral part of these financial statements. Refer to the accounting policies disclosed in the consolidated financial statements of the Master Fund for additional information regarding significant accounting policies that affect the Fund.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash held on deposit and short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and have maturities of three months or less. As of March 31, 2020, the Fund did not hold any cash equivalents.

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (continued)
2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Income Recognition and Expenses
The Fund recognizes income and records expenses on an accrual basis. Income, expenses, and realized and unrealized gains and losses are recorded monthly. The changes in fair value of the investment in the Master Fund are included in net change in unrealized appreciation/depreciation on investments in the Statement of Operations. Realized gain (loss) from investments in the Master Fund is calculated using specific identification.
Income Taxes
The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income to its Shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income tax is required. The Fund files tax returns with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service and various states. The Fund may be subject to taxes imposed by countries which it invests. Such taxes are generally based on income earned or gains realized or repatriated. Taxes are accrued and applied to net investment income, net realized capital gains and net realized appreciation, as applicable, as the income is earned or capital gains are recorded. The Fund has concluded there are no significant uncertain tax positions that would require recognition in the financial statements as of March 31, 2020. If applicable, the Fund recognizes interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in other expenses in the Statement of Operations.
Generally, open tax years under potential examination vary by jurisdiction, but at least each of the tax years in the period from October 1, 2018 (commencement of operations) to December 31, 2019 remain subject to examination by major taxing authorities.
As of March 31, 2020, the cost and related gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation for tax purposes were as follows:
Cost of investments for tax purposes | | $ | 193,446,266 | | |
Gross tax unrealized appreciation | | $ | — | | |
Gross tax unrealized depreciation | | | (6,687,274 | ) | |
Net tax unrealized appreciation/depreciation on investments | | $ | (6,687,274 | ) | |
Distribution of Income and Gains
The Fund declares and pays distributions of all or a portion of its net investment income on a quarterly basis. Net realized gains, if any, are distributed at least annually. Distributions from net realized gains for book purposes may include short-term capital gains, which are included as ordinary income for tax purposes.
The Master Fund intends to be treated as a dealer in securities within the meaning of Section 475 of the Code and anticipates marking to market eligible the Investments it holds at the close of each taxable year. Any gain or loss deemed realized under the mark to market rules will likely be ordinary.

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Distribution of Income and Gains (continued)
In order to satisfy the diversification requirements under Subchapter M of the Code, the Fund generally invests its assets in the Master Fund, which invests in Investments that are treated as indebtedness for U.S. tax purposes. As such, the Fund expects that its distributions generally will be taxable as ordinary income to the Shareholders.
Pursuant to the dividend reinvestment plan established by the Fund (the "DRIP"), each Shareholder whose Shares are registered in its own name will automatically be a participant under the DRIP and have all income, dividends, and capital gains distributions automatically reinvested in additional Shares unless such Shareholder specifically elected to receive all income, dividends, and capital gain distributions in cash.
The tax character of distributions paid may differ from the character of distributions shown in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets due to short-term capital gains being treated as ordinary income for tax purposes.
The tax character of distributions paid during the period from October 1, 2019 to March 31, 2020 was as follows:
| | March 31, 2020 | |
Distributions paid from: | |
Ordinary income | | $ | 3,323,224 | | |
Capital gain | | | — | | |
Paid-in capital | | | — | | |
Total | | $ | 3,323,224 | | |

5. Management Fee, Related Party Transactions and Other (continued)
Fund, the Fund and its Shareholders are indirectly subject to the management fees to be charged to the Master Fund by the Adviser.
The Adviser has agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse the Master Fund to the extent that the ordinary operating expenses incurred by the Master Fund in any calendar year exceed 2.00% of the Master Fund's average annual Managed Assets (as defined below), calculated as of the end of each calendar month. Ordinary operating expenses exclude platform fees, borrowing costs, certain investment related expenses, and extraordinary expenses. "Managed Assets" means the total assets of the Master Fund (including any assets attributable to borrowings for investment purposes) minus the sum of the Master Fund's accrued liabilities (other than liabilities representing borrowings for investment purposes).
The Adviser has agreed to reimburse the Fund to the extent that the ordinary expenses incurred by the Fund in any calendar year exceed 1.00% of the Fund's average annual net assets, calculated as of the end of each calendar month. Ordinary expenses exclude (i) the Fund's proportionate share of the management fees paid to the Adviser by the Master Fund, (ii) the Fund's proportionate share of the other expenses of the Master Fund, and (iii) the Fund's extraordinary expenses (i.e. expenses incurred by the Fund outside the of the ordinary course of business, indemnification expenses, and expenses in connection with holding and/or soliciting proxies for a meeting of Shareholders, taking into account any expense waivers).

AIP Alternative Lending Fund A
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
March 31, 2020
1. Organization
AIP Alternative Lending Fund A (the "Fund") was organized under the laws of the State of Delaware as a statutory trust on June 14, 2017. The Fund commenced operations on October 1, 2018 and operates pursuant to an Agreement and Declaration of Trust (the "Trust Deed"). The Fund is registered under the U.S. Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as a closed-end, non-diversified management investment company. While non-diversified for 1940 Act purposes, the Fund intends to comply with the diversification requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), as such requirements are described in Note 2. The Fund has no fixed termination date and will continue unless the Fund is otherwise terminated under the terms of the Trust Deed or unless and until required by law.
The Fund is a "Master" fund in a "Master-Feeder" structure whereby the feeder funds invest substantially all of their assets in the Fund. AIP Alternative Lending Fund P ("ALF P") and Riverview Alternative Lending Fund (Cayman) L.P. ("ALF C") are feeder funds to the Fund. ALF P is a statutory trust organized under the laws of the State of Delaware and is registered under the 1940 Act as a closed-end, non-diversified management investment company (notwithstanding its compliance with Subchapter M diversification requirements). ALF C is a Cayman Islands exempted limited partnership.
As of March 31, 2020, ALF P and ALF C represented 29.85% and 60.50% of the Fund's net assets, respectively.
The Fund's investment objective is to seek to provide total return with an emphasis on current income. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing, primarily through the Trust (as defined below), in alternative lending assets that generate interest or other income streams that the Adviser (as defined below) believes offer access to credit risk premium. Alternative lending assets include loans originated through non-traditional, or alternative, lending platforms ("Platforms") ("Loans") or alternative lending securities that provide the Fund with exposure to such instruments ("Securities"), collectively referred to as "Investments". Securities may include rated senior classes of asset-backed securities as well as unrated subordinated interests in pools of alternative lending securitizations and publicly or privately offered equity or debt securities, including warrants of Platforms or companies that own or operate Platforms.
The Fund generally invests in Loans through MPLI Capital Holdings (the "Trust"), a wholly-owned subsidiary trust of the Fund. The Trust was organized under the laws of the State of Delaware as a statutory trust on May 10, 2018. Wilmington Savings Fund Society, FSB, serves as the trustee of the Trust. The Trust operates pursuant to a trust agreement in order to achieve the Fund's investment objective, as described above.
Morgan Stanley AIP GP LP (the "Adviser") serves as the Fund's investment adviser. The Adviser is a limited partnership formed under the laws of the State of Delaware and is registered as an investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended. The Adviser is an affiliate of Morgan Stanley and is responsible for providing day-to-day investment management services to the Fund, subject to the supervision of the Fund's Board of Trustees (each member a "Trustee" and, collectively, the "Board").

AIP Alternative Lending Fund A
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) (continued)
1. Organization (continued)
The Board has overall responsibility for monitoring and overseeing the Adviser's implementation of the Fund's operations and investment program. A majority of the Trustees are not "interested persons" (as defined by the 1940 Act) of the Fund or the Adviser.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
The following significant accounting policies are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("US GAAP"). Such policies are consistently followed by the Fund in preparation of its consolidated financial statements. Management has determined that the Fund is an investment company in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 946, "Financial Services – Investment Companies," for the purpose of financial reporting. The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with US 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 increases or decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Fund's consolidated financial statements are stated in United States dollars.
The Fund consolidates the Trust and has included all of the assets and liabilities and revenues and expenses of the Trust in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Intercompany balances have been eliminated through consolidation, as applicable. The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Fund include the accounts of the Fund and of the Trust for the period from October 1, 2019 to March 31, 2020.
Investment in the Fund
Prior to December 1, 2019, the Fund offered on a continuous basis through Morgan Stanley Distribution, Inc. (the "Distributor") up to 500,000 shares of beneficial interest ("Shares"). Effective December 1, 2019, the Fund offers on a continuous basis through the Distributor up to 1,000,000 Shares. The initial closing date ("Initial Closing Date") for the public offering of Shares was October 1, 2018. Shares were offered during an initial public offering period which ended on the Initial Closing Date at an initial offering price of $1,000 per Share and have been offered in a continuous offering thereafter at the Fund's then current net asset value per Share. Investors purchasing Shares in the Fund ("Shareholders") will not be charged a sales load. Shares may be purchased as of the first business day of each month at the Fund's then current net asset value per Share from the Distributor or through a registered investment adviser ("RIA") that has entered into an arrangement with the Distributor for such RIA to offer Shares in conjunction with a "wrap" fee, asset allocation or other managed asset program sponsored by RIA. The Distributor is an affiliate of the Adviser.
Shares are to be sold only to investors that represent that they are "accredited investors" within the meaning of Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The minimum initial investment in the Fund by any investor is $50,000, and the minimum additional investment in the Fund by any investor is $25,000. The minimum initial and additional investments may be reduced by the Fund with

respect to certain Shareholders. Shareholders may only purchase their Shares through the Distributor or a RIA. Any such RIA may impose additional eligibility requirements on investors who purchase Shares through such RIA.
The Fund may from time to time offer to repurchase Shares pursuant to written tenders by Shareholders, and each such repurchase offer will generally apply to up to approximately 5% to 25% of the net assets of the Fund. Repurchases will be made at such times, in such amounts and on such terms as may be determined by the Board, in its sole discretion. In determining whether the Fund should offer to repurchase Shares, the Board will consider the recommendations of the Adviser as to the timing of such an offer, as well as a variety of operational, business and economic factors. The Adviser expects that, generally, it will recommend to the Board that the Fund offers to repurchase Shares from Shareholders quarterly, with such repurchases to occur as of each March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31. Each repurchase offer will generally commence approximately 90 days prior to the applicable repurchase date.
Portfolio Valuation
The net asset value of the Fund is determined as of the close of business at the end of any fiscal period, generally monthly, in accordance with the valuation principles set forth below or as may be determined from time to time pursuant to policies established by the Board.
As of March 31, 2020, approximately 95% of the Fund's portfolio was comprised of investments in Loans. The remainder of the portfolio was invested in Securities.
The Adviser, as part of its portfolio construction process, performs diligence on the Platforms from which the Fund purchases Loans. The Adviser evaluates the process by which each Platform extends Loans and loan-related services to borrowers, as well as the characteristics of the Loans made available through each Platform. The Fund seeks to purchase Loans from Platforms that meet certain criteria (such as maturities and durations, borrower and loan types, borrower credit quality and geographic locations of borrowers). The Adviser monitors, on an ongoing basis, the underwriting quality of each Platform for each loan type. In addition, the Adviser monitors the characteristics of the Loans it purchases on an ongoing basis to determine whether such Loans comply with the Fund's investment criteria. A backup servicer may be engaged for each Platform in case any such Platform ceases to exist or fails to perform its servicing functions.
The Fund may sell certain of its investments in Loans directly or indirectly into special purpose vehicles that issue asset-backed securities, which are secured by a pool of underlying loans originated by an alternative lending platform (which practice is known as a securitization). The Platform continues to service the underlying loans, which may include collection of payments, pursuit of delinquent borrowers, and general interaction with borrowers. Distribution payments from the asset-backed securities are based on cash

collections from the underlying loans. The Fund may hold residual equity classes of the asset-backed securities, which could be adversely affected by the deterioration in the credit performance of the loan pool.
The Fund uses an independent valuation agent for purposes of providing an estimate of the fair valuation of the Investments, which is one factor that the Adviser considers in making a determination with respect to the fair value of the Investments. Among other factors that may be considered are significant events, the performance of similar loans originated by the Platforms, and the results of the Adviser's due diligence and valuation control procedures. The valuations received from the independent valuation agent rely on portfolio holdings and related data provided by the Fund, or its authorized third parties, and public, financial, and industry source information without independent verification. The Adviser is ultimately responsible for making fair value determinations subject to the oversight of the Board and pursuant to the Fund's fair valuation procedures.
The fair values of investments in Loans are based on a discounted cash flow model, which takes into account individual loan characteristics, such as coupon, tenor, platform credit grade and current delinquency status, that are provided by the applicable Platform. The fair values of investments in asset-backed securities are determined by the forecasted performance of the underlying loans in the pool, which takes into account the realized historical loss and prepayment performance of the pool. The priority of the securitization class and the claim on cash flows in the transaction are also taken into account. The fair values of investments in common stock and preferred equities for which market prices are not readily available, such as investments in privately held companies, may be determined using market-based approaches, including precedent transactions, public market comparables, book values or other relevant metrics, or using income-based approaches, including discounted anticipated future cash flows of the company.
The Adviser has established a Valuation Committee (the "Valuation Committee"), which is responsible for determining and implementing the Fund's valuation policies and procedures, which have been adopted by the Board and are subject to Board supervision. The Valuation Committee consists of voting members from Morgan Stanley's financial reporting and risk management groups, and non-voting members from portfolio management, legal and compliance groups and meets at least monthly to analyze the fair value of the Investments. Members of the portfolio management team may attend each Valuation Committee meeting to provide knowledge, insight, and observations regarding the portfolio. In addition, the portfolio management team reviews the valuation agent's monthly valuation report, including the valuation methodologies, inputs and assumptions used to determine the Investment values, and makes a recommendation to the Valuation Committee regarding the values of the Investments. After consideration of the portfolio management's team recommendation and valuation agent's report, the Valuation Committee determines, in good faith, the fair value of the Investments. Because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation, the fair value of the Fund's Investments may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a readily available market for the Investments held by the Fund been available.

AIP Alternative Lending Fund A
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) (continued)
2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash held on deposit and short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and have maturities of three months or less. Investments in money markets are recorded at fair value and are categorized as Level 1 securities as described in Note 3. As of March 31, 2020, cash equivalents consisted of investments in money market funds valued at $2,990,316. Investments in money market funds are valued at net asset value.
Income Recognition and Expenses
The Fund recognizes income and records expenses on an accrual basis. Income, expenses, and realized and unrealized gains and losses are recorded monthly. Interest income is net of amortization of premiums, if any, from loan purchases. The changes in fair value of the Investments are included in net change in unrealized appreciation/depreciation on investments in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. Realized gain (loss) from investments in Investments is calculated using specific identification. Interest income from investments in asset-backed securities is recognized based on the estimated effective yield utilizing expected cash flows. The effective yield is updated by the Adviser periodically as expected cash flow projections change.
Income Taxes
The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income to its Shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income tax is required. The Fund files tax returns with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service and various states. The Fund may be subject to taxes imposed by countries which it invests. Such taxes are generally based on income earned or gains realized or repatriated. Taxes are accrued and applied to net investment income, net realized capital gains and net realized appreciation, as applicable, as the income is earned or capital gains are recorded. The Fund has concluded there are no significant uncertain tax positions that would require recognition in the consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2020. If applicable, the Fund recognizes interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in other expenses in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. Generally, open tax years under potential examination vary by jurisdiction, but at least each of the tax years in the period from October 1, 2018 (commencement of operations) to December 31, 2019 remain subject to examination by major taxing authorities.
As of March 31, 2020, the cost and related gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation for tax purposes were as follows:
Cost of investments for tax purposes | | $ | 906,098,448 | | |
Gross tax unrealized appreciation | | $ | 3,211,934 | | |
Gross tax unrealized depreciation | | | (81,551,264 | ) | |
Net tax unrealized appreciation/depreciation on investments | | $ | (78,339,330 | ) | |

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Distribution of Income and Gains
The Fund declares and pays distributions of all or a portion of its net investment income on a quarterly basis. Net realized gains, if any, are distributed at least annually. Distributions from net realized gains for book purposes may include short-term capital gains, which are included as ordinary income for tax purposes.
The tax character of distributions paid during the period from October 1, 2019 to March 31, 2020 was as follows:
| | March 31, 2020 | |
Distributions paid from: | |
Ordinary income | | $ | 12,247,454 | | |
Paid-in capital | | | — | | |
Total | | $ | 12,247,454 | | |
The amount and character of income and gains due to be distributed are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from US GAAP. These book/tax differences are either considered temporary or permanent in nature.
The Fund intends to be treated as a dealer in securities within the meaning of Section 475 of the Code and anticipates marking to market all eligible Investments it holds at the close of each taxable year. Any gain or loss deemed realized under the mark to market rules will likely be ordinary.
In order to satisfy the diversification requirements under Subchapter M of the Code, the Fund generally invests in Investments that are treated as indebtedness for U.S. tax purposes. As such, the Fund expects that its distributions generally will be taxable as ordinary income to the Shareholders.
Pursuant to the dividend reinvestment plan established by the Fund (the "DRIP"), each Shareholder whose Shares are registered in its own name will automatically be a participant under the DRIP and have all income, dividends, and capital gains distributions automatically reinvested in additional Shares unless such Shareholder specifically elected to receive all income, dividends, and capital gain distributions in cash.
3. Fair Value of Investments
The fair value of the Fund's assets and liabilities that qualify as financial instruments approximates the carrying amounts presented in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Fair value is defined as the price that the Fund would receive to sell an investment or pay to transfer a liability in a timely transaction with an independent buyer in the principal market, or in the absence of a principal market the most advantageous market for the investment or liability. The Fund uses a three-tier hierarchy to distinguish between (a) inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs) and

(b) inputs that reflect the reporting entity's own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs) and to establish classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of the Fund's investments.
The inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
• Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
• Level 2 – quoted prices for similar investments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar investments in markets that are not considered active; observable inputs other than observable quoted prices for the asset or liability; or inputs derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data
• Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) that reflect the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk, developed based on the best information available in the circumstances
The inputs or methodology used for valuing investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those investments.
The following is a summary of the inputs used as of March 31, 2020 in valuing the Fund's investments carried at fair value:

4. Subscriptions Received in Advance
Subscriptions received in advance represents cash proceeds received by the Fund prior to period-end related to Shareholder subscriptions to be made effective April 1, 2020. As of March 31, 2020, the Fund had subscriptions received in advance of $3,950,000.
5. Management Fee, Related Party Transactions and Other
The Fund bears all expenses related to its investment program, as well as certain ongoing costs associated with the Fund's continuous offering. In consideration of the advisory and other services to be provided by the Adviser to the Fund, the Fund pays the Adviser a monthly management fee of 0.0625% (0.75% on an annualized basis) of the Fund's Managed Assets (as defined below) (the "Management Fee"). The Management Fee is computed based on the value of the Managed Assets of the Fund as of the close of business on the last business day of each month (including any assets in respect of Shares that will be repurchased by the Fund as of the end of the month). "Managed Assets" means the total assets of the Fund (including any assets attributable to borrowings for investment purposes) minus the sum of the Fund's accrued liabilities (other than liabilities representing borrowings for investment purposes).
The Adviser has agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse the Fund to the extent that the ordinary operating expenses incurred by the Fund in any calendar period exceed 2.00% of the Fund's average annual Managed Assets, calculated as of the end of each calendar month. Ordinary operating expenses exclude platform fees, borrowing costs, certain investment related expenses, and extraordinary expenses. For the period from October 1, 2019 to March 31, 2020, the Adviser did not reimburse the Fund as the ordinary operating expenses were below 2.00% of the Fund's average annual Managed Assets.
The Fund has a deferred compensation plan (the "DC Plan") that allows each member of the Board that is not an affiliate of Morgan Stanley to defer payment of all, or a portion, of the fees he or she receives for serving on the Board throughout the period. Each eligible member of the Board generally may elect to have the deferred amounts invested in the DC Plan in order to earn a return equal to the total return on one or more of the Morgan Stanley products that are offered as investment options under the DC Plan. Investments in the DC Plan, unrealized appreciation/depreciation on such investments and distributions received from these investments are recorded with an offsetting increase/decrease in the deferred compensation obligation and do not affect the net asset value of the Fund. As of March 31, 2020, the Fund's proportionate share of assets attributable to the DC Plan was $1,273, which is included in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities under other assets and the deferred compensation obligation under accrued expenses and other liabilities.
U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC ("USBFS") provides accounting and administrative services to the Fund. Under an administrative services agreement, USBFS is paid an administrative fee, computed and payable monthly at an annual rate based on the aggregate monthly total assets of the Fund.

The Facility is uncommitted, with a maximum availability of $300,000,000, subject to the Investment Company Act of 1940 restrictions. The Trust generally pays a draw fee for each advance against the Facility. Under the terms of the Facility amendment effective October 30, 2019, borrowings are repayable no later than February 1, 2023, the maturity date of the Facility. Prior to October 30, 2019, the borrowings were repayable no later than February 1, 2022.
