FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
The following table describes the performance for the fiscal periods indicated. All information (except portfolio turnover rate) reflects financial results for a single fund share. Net asset value total return is calculated assuming an initial investment made at the net asset value at the beginning of the period, distributions at net asset value during the period, and redemption at net asset value on the last day of the period. Net asset value total return includes adjustments in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and as such, the net asset value for financial reporting purposes and the returns based upon those net asset values may differ from the net asset value and returns for shareholder transactions.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies:
BNY Mellon Alcentra Global Multi-Strategy Credit Fund, Inc. (the “fund”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), as a diversified closed-end management investment company. The fund has a limited term of approximately six years. The fund’s investment objective is to seek to provide total return consisting of high current income and capital appreciation. The fund will terminate at the close of business on August 30, 2025, the sixth anniversary of the closing date of the fund’s initial public offering (the “Termination Date”), although the fund’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) may choose to commence the liquidation and termination of the fund prior to the Termination Date. The Board may also, in its sole discretion and without shareholder approval, extend the Termination Date by up to one year to a date on or before August 30, 2026, the seventh anniversary of the fund’s initial public offering, which date shall then become the Termination Date.
BNY Mellon Investment Adviser, Inc. (the “Adviser”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation (“BNY”), serves as the fund’s investment adviser. Alcentra NY, LLC (the “Sub-Adviser”), serves as the fund’s sub-adviser.
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) is the exclusive reference of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under authority of federal laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. The fund is an investment company and applies the accounting and reporting guidance of the FASB ASC Topic 946 Financial Services-Investment Companies. The fund’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP, which may require the use of management estimates and assumptions. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnifications. The fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown. The fund does not anticipate recognizing any loss related to these arrangements.
(a) Portfolio valuation: The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (i.e., the exit price). GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs of valuation techniques used to measure fair value.
43
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (continued)
This hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements).
Additionally, GAAP provides guidance on determining whether the volume and activity in a market has decreased significantly and whether such a decrease in activity results in transactions that are not orderly. GAAP requires enhanced disclosures around valuation inputs and techniques used during annual and interim periods.
Various inputs are used in determining the value of the fund’s investments relating to fair value measurements. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
Level 1—unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical investments.
Level 2—other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3—significant unobservable inputs (including the fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. Valuation techniques used to value the fund’s investments are as follows:
The Board has designated the Adviser as the fund’s valuation designee to make all fair value determinations with respect to the fund’s portfolio investments, subject to the Board’s oversight and pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the Act.
Investments in debt securities and floating rate loan interests, excluding short-term investments (other than U.S. Treasury Bills) and forward foreign currency exchange contracts (“forward contracts”), are valued each business day by one or more independent pricing services (each, a “Service”) approved by the Board. Investments for which quoted bid prices are readily available and are representative of the bid side of the market in the judgment of a Service are valued at the mean between the quoted bid prices (as obtained by a Service from dealers in such securities) and asked prices (as calculated by a Service based upon its evaluation of the market for such securities). Securities are valued as determined by a Service, based on methods which include consideration of the following:
44
yields or prices of securities of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type; indications as to values from dealers; and general market conditions. The Services are engaged under the general supervision of the Board. These securities are generally categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Investments in equity securities and exchange-traded funds are valued at the last sales price on the securities exchange or national securities market on which such securities are primarily traded. Securities listed on the National Market System for which market quotations are available are valued at the official closing price or, if there is no official closing price that day, at the last sales price. For open short positions, asked prices are used for valuation purposes. Bid price is used when no asked price is available. Registered investment companies that are not traded on an exchange are valued at their net asset value. All of the preceding securities are generally categorized within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
Securities not listed on an exchange or the national securities market, or securities for which there were no transactions, are valued at the average of the most recent bid and asked prices. These securities are generally categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Fair valuing of securities may be determined with the assistance of a Service using calculations based on indices of domestic securities and other appropriate indicators, such as prices of relevant American Depository Receipts and futures. Utilizing these techniques may result in transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
When market quotations or official closing prices are not readily available, or are determined not to accurately reflect fair value, such as when the value of a security has been significantly affected by events after the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded, but before the fund calculates its net asset value, the fund may value these investments at fair value as determined in accordance with the procedures approved by the Board. Certain factors may be considered when fair valuing investments such as: fundamental analytical data, the nature and duration of restrictions on disposition, an evaluation of the forces that influence the market in which the securities are purchased and sold, and public trading in similar securities of the issuer or comparable issuers. Certain of the fund’s investments will be fair valued in accordance with valuation procedures approved by the Board. Those portfolio valuations will be based on unobservable inputs and certain assumptions about how market participants would price the instrument. The fund expects that inputs into the determination of fair value of those investments will require significant management judgment or estimation. Because valuations may
45
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (continued)
fluctuate over short periods of time and may be based on estimates, fair value determinations may differ materially from the value received in an actual transaction. Additionally, valuations of private securities and private companies are inherently uncertain. The fund’s net asset value could be adversely affected if the fund’s determinations regarding the fair value of those investments were materially higher or lower than the values that it ultimately realizes upon the disposal of such investments. These securities are either categorized within Level 2 or 3 of the fair value hierarchy depending on the relevant inputs used.
For securities where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and such securities are generally categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
Investments denominated in foreign currencies are translated to U.S. dollars at the prevailing rates of exchange.
Forward contracts are valued at the forward rate and are generally categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
The following is a summary of the inputs used as of September 30, 2024 in valuing the fund’s investments:

† Securities deemed as Level 3 due to the lack of observable inputs by management assessment.
†† Transfers out of Level 3 represent the value at the date of transfer. The transfer out of Level 3 for the current peiord was due to additional observable inputs.
(b) Foreign currency transactions: The fund does not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments.
Net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized on securities transactions
47
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (continued)
between trade and settlement date, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities other than investments resulting from changes in exchange rates. Foreign currency gains and losses on foreign currency transactions are also included with net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments.
Foreign taxes: The fund may be subject to foreign taxes (a portion of which may be reclaimable) on income, stock dividends, realized and unrealized capital gains on investments or certain foreign currency transactions. Foreign taxes are recorded in accordance with the applicable foreign tax regulations and rates that exist in the foreign jurisdictions in which the fund invests. These foreign taxes, if any, are paid by the fund and are reflected in the Statement of Operations, if applicable. Foreign taxes payable or deferred or those subject to reclaims as of September 30, 2024, if any, are disclosed in the fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
(c) Securities transactions and investment income: Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses from securities transactions are recorded on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date and interest income, including, where applicable, accretion of discount and amortization of premium on investments, is recognized on the accrual basis. Interest income from investments in collateralized loan obligations (“CLO”) equity is recorded based upon an effective yield to maturity utilizing assumed cash flows. The Sub-Adviser monitors the expected cash flows from the fund’s CLO equity investments and effective yield is determined and adjusted as needed.
(d) Affiliated issuers: Investments in other investment companies advised by the Adviser are considered “affiliated” under the Act.
(e) Market Risk: An investment in the fund is subject to investment risk, including the possible loss of the entire amount that you invest. Your investment in the fund’s shares of common stock (“Common Shares”) represents an indirect investment in the credit instruments and other investments and assets owned by the fund. The value of the fund’s portfolio investments may move up or down, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably. The value of the instruments in which the fund invests may be affected by political, regulatory, economic and social developments, and developments that impact specific economic sectors, industries or segments of the market. The value of a security may also decline due to general market conditions that are not specifically related to a particular
48
company or industry, such as real or perceived adverse economic conditions, changes in the general outlook for corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates, changes to inflation, adverse changes to credit markets or adverse investor sentiment generally.
Foreign Investment Risk: To the extent that the fund invests in foreign securities, the fund’s performance will be influenced by political, social and economic factors affecting investments in foreign issuers. Special risk associated with investments in foreign issuers include exposure to currency fluctuations, less liquidity, less developed or less efficient trading markets, lack of comprehensive company information, political and economic instability and differing auditing and legal standards.
Credit Risk: The fund invests primarily in credit instruments, which are subject to credit risk. Credit risk is the risk that one or more credit instruments in the fund’s portfolio will decline in price or fail to pay interest or principal when due because the issuer of the instrument experiences a decline in its financial status. Losses may occur because the market value of a credit instrument is affected by the creditworthiness or perceived creditworthiness of the issuer and by general economic and specific industry conditions and the fund’s investments will often be subordinate to other debt in the issuer’s capital structure. Because the fund generally expects to invest a significant portion of its Managed Assets (as defined below) in below investment grade instruments, it will be exposed to a greater amount of credit risk than a fund which invests in investment grade securities. The prices of below investment grade instruments are more sensitive to negative developments, such as a decline in the issuer’s revenues or a general economic downturn, than are the prices of investment grade instruments, which may reduce the fund’s net asset value.
Floating Rate Loan Risk: The fund invests in floating rate loan interests. The floating rate loans in which the fund invests typically are below investment grade quality, and inherently speculative. In the event of the bankruptcy or insolvency of a borrower, the fund could experience delays or limitations with respect to its ability to realize the benefits of the collateral securing the borrower’s loan.
Collateralized Debt Obligations Risk: The fund invests in Collateralized Debt Obligations (“CDO”), including CLOs. CDOs may be thinly traded or have a limited trading market. CDOs, such as CLOs, are typically privately offered and sold, and thus are not registered under the securities laws. As a result, investments in CLOs and other types of CDOs may be characterized by the fund as illiquid securities, especially investments in mezzanine and subordinated/equity tranches of CLOs; however, an active dealer market may exist for certain investments and more senior CLO
49
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (continued)
tranches, which would allow such securities to be considered liquid in some circumstances. In addition to the general risks associated with credit instruments discussed herein, CLOs and other types of CDOs carry additional risks, including, but not limited to: (i) the possibility that distributions from collateral securities will not be adequate to make interest or other payments; (ii) the quality of the collateral may decline in value or default; (iii) the possibility that the class of CLO or CDO held by the fund is subordinate to other classes; and (iv) the complex structure of the security may not be fully understood at the time of investment and may produce disputes with the issuer or unexpected investment results.
Direct Lending Risk: The fund may directly originate loans as part of its Direct Lending Strategy. The Direct Lending Strategy seeks to generate attractive returns by lending to “middle market” businesses. Investing in middle market companies involves a number of significant risks, including but not limited to the following: (i) they may have limited financial resources and may be unable to meet their debt obligations, which may be accompanied by a deterioration in the value of any collateral and a reduction in the likelihood of the fund realizing any guarantees the fund may have obtained in connection with an investment; (ii) they typically have shorter operating histories, narrower product lines and smaller market shares than larger businesses, which tend to render them more vulnerable to competitors’ actions and changing market conditions, as well as general economic downturns; (iii) they are more likely to depend on the management talents and efforts of a small group of persons; therefore, the death, disability, resignation or termination of one or more of these persons could have a material adverse impact on the issuer; (iv) they generally have less predictable operating results, may from time to time be parties to litigation, may be engaged in rapidly changing businesses with products subject to a substantial risk of obsolescence, and may require substantial additional capital to support their operations, finance expansion or maintain their competitive position; (v) changes in laws and regulations, as well as their interpretations, may adversely affect the business, financial structure or prospects of middle market companies; and (vi) they may have difficulty accessing the capital markets to meet future capital needs, which may limit their ability to grow or to repay their outstanding indebtedness upon maturity.
There also is generally little public information about privately-held middle market companies. These middle market companies and their financial information generally are not subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and other regulations that govern public companies, and the fund may be unable to uncover all material information about these companies, which may prevent the
50
Sub-adviser from making a fully informed investment decision and cause the fund to lose money on its investments.
The Additional Information section within the annual report dated March 31, 2024, provides more details about the fund’s principal risk factors.
(f) Dividends and distributions to shareholders: Dividends and distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Dividends from net investment income are normally declared and paid quarterly. To permit the fund to maintain a more stable quarterly distribution, the fund may from time to time distribute less than the entire amount of income earned in a particular period. Any such undistributed income would be available to supplement future distributions. As a result, the distributions paid by the fund for any particular quarterly period may be more or less than the amount of income actually earned by the fund during that period. Dividends from net realized capital gains, if any, are normally declared and paid annually, but the fund may make distributions on a more frequent basis to comply with the distribution requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). To the extent that net realized capital gains can be offset by capital loss carryovers, it is the policy of the fund not to distribute such gains. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.
(g) Federal income taxes: It is the policy of the fund to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company, if such qualification is in the best interests of its shareholders, by complying with the applicable provisions of the Code, and to make distributions of taxable income and net realized capital gain sufficient to relieve it from substantially all federal income and excise taxes.
As of and during the period ended September 30, 2024, the fund did not have any liabilities for any uncertain tax positions. The fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions as income tax expense in the Statement of Operations. During the period ended September 30, 2024, the fund did not incur any interest or penalties.
Each tax year in the three-year period ended March 31, 2024 remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state taxing authorities.
The fund is permitted to carry forward capital losses for an unlimited period. Furthermore, capital loss carryovers retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses.
51
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (continued)
The fund has an unused capital loss carryover of $25,610,696 available for federal income tax purposes to be applied against future net realized capital gains, if any, realized subsequent to March 31, 2024. The fund has $7,295,573 of short term capital losses and $18,315,123 of long-term capital losses which can be carried forward for an unlimited period.
The tax character of distributions paid to shareholders during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024 was as follows: ordinary income $20,015,815. The tax character of current year distributions will be determined at the end of the current fiscal year.
(h) Share repurchases: As disclosed in its prospectus, beginning approximately one year after the completion of the fund’s initial public offering and ending upon the adoption by the Board of a plan of liquidation, the fund intends, but is not obligated, to conduct quarterly tender offers for up to 2.5% of its Common Shares then outstanding in the sole discretion of the Board. Any tender offer will be made, and shareholders will be notified, in accordance with the requirements of the Act and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. When the fund conducts a tender offer, shareholders should read carefully the tender offer documents once they are filed with the SEC and become available, as they will contain important information about the offer.
During the period, the fund conducted two quarterly tender offers. The final results of those tender offers were as follows:
| | | | |
Tender Offer Period | Number of Shares Tendered | Number of Tendered Shares Purchased | Pro-Ration Factor | Purchase Price* |
April 17, 2024 – May 14, 2024 | 388,170 | 46,530 | .120521 | $91.43 |
July 17, 2024 – August 13, 2024 | 459,508 | 45,368 | .099503 | $92.50 |
* Purchase Price is equal to 100% of the fund’s net asset value per share as of March 31, 2024 for the second quarter of 2024 and June 30, 2024 for the third quarter of 2024.
NOTE 2—Borrowings:
The fund has a $75,000,000 Revolving Credit and Security Agreement with Societe Generale (the “Agreement”), which will terminate on September 1, 2025 (or the prior business day, as necessary). Under the terms of the Agreement, the fund may borrow at the “Advance Rate” (means, at any date, the quotient (expressed as a percentage) of (i) the Total Outstanding (means, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Loans) at such date plus all accrued and unpaid interest on the Loans as of such date divided
52
by (ii) the Aggregate Eligible Collateral Value (means, the aggregate market value of eligible collateral) at such date.). The interest paid by the fund on such Advance Rate is determined with reference to the principal amount of each Advance Rate outstanding from time to time. The fund also paid additional fees pursuant to the Agreement. During the period ended September 30, 2024, total fees pursuant to the Agreement amounted to $2,660,762 inclusive of $2,515,036 of interest expenses and $145,726 of loan fees.
The average amount of borrowings outstanding under the Agreement during the period ended September 30, 2024 was $71,000,000, with a related weighted average annualized interest rate of 7.07%. The fund’s borrowings under the Agreement are secured by its portfolio holdings.
NOTE 3—Management Fee, Sub-Advisory Fee and Other Transactions with Affiliates:
(a) Pursuant to a Management Agreement with the Adviser, the management fee is computed at the annual rate of 1.25% of the value of the fund’s “Managed Assets” determined as of the last day of each quarter, and is payable quarterly in arrears. “Managed Assets” of the fund means the total assets of the fund, including any assets attributable to leverage (i.e., any loans from certain financial institutions and/or the issuance of debt securities (collectively, “Borrowings”), preferred stock or other similar preference securities (“Preferred Shares”), or the use of derivative instruments that have the economic effect of leverage), minus the fund’s accrued liabilities, other than any liabilities or obligations attributable to leverage obtained through (i) indebtedness of any type (including, without limitation, Borrowings), (ii) the issuance of Preferred Shares, and/or (iii) any other means, all as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
Pursuant to a sub-investment advisory agreement between the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser, the Adviser pays the Sub-Adviser a fee at the annual rate of .625% of the value of the fund’s Managed Assets determined as of the last day of each quarter, and payable quarterly in arrears.
(b) The fund has an arrangement with The Bank of New York Mellon (the “Custodian”), a subsidiary of BNY and an affiliate of the Adviser, whereby the fund will receive interest income or be charged overdraft fees when cash balances are maintained. For financial reporting purposes, the fund includes this interest income and overdraft fees, if any, as interest income in the Statement of Operations.
The fund compensates the Custodian, under a custody agreement, for providing custodial services for the fund. These fees are determined based
53
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (continued)
on net assets, geographic region and transaction activity. During the period ended September 30, 2024, the fund was charged $13,090 pursuant to the custody agreement.
During the period ended September 30, 2024, the fund was charged $7,243 for services performed by the fund’s Chief Compliance Officer and his staff. These fees are included in Chief Compliance Officer fees in the Statement of Operations.
The components of “Due to BNY Mellon Investment Adviser, Inc. and affiliates” in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities consist of: Management fee of $748,163, Custodian fees of $6,900 and Chief Compliance Officer fees of $2,561.
(c) Each board member of the fund also serves as a board member of other funds in the BNY Mellon Family of Funds complex. Annual retainer fees and meeting attendance fees are allocated to each fund based on net assets.
NOTE 4—Securities Transactions:
The aggregate amount of purchases and sales (including paydowns) of investment securities, excluding short-term securities and forward contracts, during the period ended September 30, 2024, amounted to $70,797,365 and $90,520,267, respectively.
Floating Rate Loan Interests: Floating rate instruments are loans and other securities with interest rates that adjust or “float” periodically. Floating rate loans are made by banks and other financial institutions to their corporate clients. The rates of interest on the loans adjust periodically by reference to a base lending rate, plus a premium or credit spread. Floating rate loans reset on periodic set dates, typically 30 to 90 days, but not to exceed one year. The fund may invest in multiple series or tranches of a loan. A different series or tranche may have varying terms and carry different associated risks.
The fund may enter into certain credit agreements all or a portion of which may be unfunded. The fund is obligated to fund these commitments at the borrower’s discretion. The commitments are disclosed in the accompanying Statement of Investments. At September 30, 2024, the fund had sufficient cash and/or securities to cover these commitments.
Derivatives: A derivative is a financial instrument whose performance is derived from the performance of another asset. The fund enters into International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreements or similar agreements (collectively, “Master Agreements”) with its over-the-counter (“OTC”) derivative contract counterparties in order to, among
54
other things, reduce its credit risk to counterparties. Master Agreements include provisions for general obligations, representations, collateral and events of default or termination. Under a Master Agreement, the fund may offset with the counterparty certain derivative financial instruments’ payables and/or receivables with collateral held and/or posted and create one single net payment in the event of default or termination. Rule 18f-4 under the Act regulates the use of derivatives transactions for certain funds registered under the Act. The fund is deemed a “limited” derivatives user under the rule and is required to limit its derivatives exposure so that the total notional value of applicable derivatives does not exceed 10% of fund’s net assets, and is subject to certain reporting requirements.
Each type of derivative instrument that was held by the fund during the period ended September 30, 2024 is discussed below.
Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts: The fund enters into forward contracts in order to hedge its exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates on its foreign portfolio holdings, to settle foreign currency transactions or as a part of its investment strategy. When executing forward contracts, the fund is obligated to buy or sell a foreign currency at a specified rate on a certain date in the future. With respect to sales of forward contracts, the fund incurs a loss if the value of the contract increases between the date the forward contract is opened and the date the forward contract is closed. The fund realizes a gain if the value of the contract decreases between those dates. With respect to purchases of forward contracts, the fund incurs a loss if the value of the contract decreases between the date the forward contract is opened and the date the forward contract is closed. The fund realizes a gain if the value of the contract increases between those dates. Any realized or unrealized gains or losses which occurred during the period are reflected in the Statement of Operations. The fund is exposed to foreign currency risk as a result of changes in value of underlying financial instruments. The fund is also exposed to credit risk associated with counterparty non-performance on these forward contracts, which is generally limited to the unrealized gain on each open contract. This risk may be mitigated by Master Agreements, if any, between the fund and the counterparty and the posting of collateral, if any, by the counterparty to the fund to cover the fund’s exposure to the counterparty. Forward Contracts open at September 30, 2024 are set forth in the Statement of Investments.
The following tables show the fund’s exposure to different types of market risk as it relates to the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and the Statement of Operations, respectively.
