Cliffwater Enhanced Lending Fund
Notes to Consolidated Schedule of Investments
June 30, 2023 (Unaudited)
1. Organization
The Cliffwater Enhanced Lending Fund (the “Fund”) is a closed-end non-diversified management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), and was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on January 22, 2021. The Fund is a “fund of funds” that operates as an interval fund. Cliffwater LLC serves as the investment adviser (the “Investment Manager”) of the Fund. The Investment Manager is an investment adviser registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended. The Fund commenced operations on July 1, 2021. Simultaneous with the commencement of the Fund’s operations, the Cliffwater Enhanced Lending Fund L.P. (the “Predecessor Fund”), reorganized with and transferred substantially all its portfolio securities into the Fund. The tax-free reorganization was accomplished at the close of business on June 30, 2021.
The Fund’s primary investment objective is to seek high current income and modest capital appreciation. The Fund’s secondary objective is capital preservation. Under normal market conditions, the Fund seeks to achieve its investment objectives by investing at least 80% of its assets (net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in lending to businesses, broadly defined as providing capital or assets to businesses or individuals in exchange for regular payments, the level of which is commensurate with the probability of loss for each investment or strategy, or through the provision of capital to businesses or individuals by acquiring assets from those businesses or individuals that produce regular cash flows as an alternative to a traditional loan, such as receivables factoring or a sale leaseback of real estate or equipment. Investments by the Fund may take the form of secured or unsecured bonds and loans with a fixed or floating coupon, a structured capital instrument with preference to common equity holders and a stated contractual interest payment or rate of return, assets with fixed lease payments, or other income producing assets. Investments may be made directly or indirectly through a range of investment vehicles that the Investment Manager believes offer high current income across corporate, real asset and alternative credit opportunities. The Investment Manager will employ a dynamic process that allocates the Fund’s assets between Investment Funds and direct investments. Investment Funds may include secondary strategies that primarily acquire credit funds and to a lesser extent, fund interests or direct investments in equity or other security types.
Consolidation of a Subsidiary
On July 1, 2021, CELF SPV LLC (“CLCE SPV”) was formed as a limited liability company, and is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Fund.

As of June 30, 2023, net assets of the CLCE LF2 were $17,314,798, or approximately 0.95% of the Fund’s total net assets.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Preparation and Use of Estimates
The Fund is an investment company and follows the accounting and reporting guidance under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with 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, as well as reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Federal Income Taxes
The Fund intends to continue to qualify as a “regulated investment company” under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. As so qualified, the Fund will not be subject to federal income tax to the extent it distributes substantially all of its net investment income and capital gains to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. Management of the Fund is required to determine whether a tax position taken by the Fund is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by the applicable taxing authority, based on the technical merits of the position. Based on its analysis, there were no tax positions identified by management of the Fund that did not meet the “more likely than not” standard as of June 30, 2023.
CLCE SPV and CLCE LF2 is a disregarded entity for income tax purposes. CLCE HOLD, CLCE HLD2, and CLCE HLD1 are limited liability companies that have elected to be taxed as corporations and are therefore obligated to pay federal and state income tax on their taxable income. Currently, the federal income tax rate for a corporation is 21%. Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. A valuation allowance is recognized if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred income tax asset will not be realized.
Foreign Currency Translation
The Fund’s records are maintained in U.S. dollars. The value of securities, currencies and other assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars are translated into U.S. dollars based upon foreign exchange rates prevailing at the end of the reporting period. The currencies are translated into U.S. dollars by using the exchange rates quoted at the close of the London Stock Exchange prior to when the Fund’s NAV is next determined. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses are translated on the respective dates of such transactions.
The Fund does not isolate that portion of its net realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates from the impact arising from changes in market prices. Such fluctuations are included with net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments and foreign currency.
Net realized foreign currency transaction gains and losses arise from sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the differences 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 currency translation gains and losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities, resulting from changes in the exchange rates.
Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts
The Fund may utilize forward foreign currency exchange contracts (“forward contracts”) under which they are obligated to exchange currencies on specified future dates at specified rates, and are subject to the translations of foreign exchange rates fluctuations. All contracts are “marked-to-market” daily and any resulting unrealized gains or losses are recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation on foreign currency translations. The Fund records realized gains or losses at the time the forward contract is settled. Counter-parties to these forward contracts are major U.S. financial institutions. As of June 30, 2023, the Fund had three outstanding forward currency contracts.
Collateralized Loan Obligations and Collateralized Debt Obligations
The Fund may invest in Collateralized Loan Obligations (“CLOs”) and Collateralized Debt Obligations (“CDOs”). CLOs and CDOs are created by the grouping of certain private loans and other lender assets/collateral into pools. A sponsoring organization establishes a special purpose vehicle to hold the assets/collateral and issue securities. Interests in these pools are sold as individual securities. Payments of principal and interest are passed through to investors and are typically supported by some form of credit enhancement, such as a letter of credit, surety bond, limited guaranty or senior/subordination. Payments from the asset pools may be divided into several different tranches of debt securities, offering investors various maturity and credit risk characteristics. Some tranches entitled to receive regular installments of principal and interest, other tranches entitled to receive regular installments of interest, with principal payable at maturity or upon specified call dates, and other tranches only entitled to receive payments of principal and accrued interest at maturity or upon specified call dates. Different tranches of securities will bear different interest rates, which may be fixed or floating.
CLOs and CDOs are typically privately offered and sold, and thus, are not registered under the securities laws, which means less information about the security may be available as compared to publicly offered securities and only certain institutions may buy and sell them. As a result, investments in CLOs and CDOs may be characterized by the Fund as illiquid securities. An active dealer market may exist for CLOs and CDOs that can be resold in Rule 144A transactions, but there can be no assurance that such a market will exist or will be active enough for the Fund to sell such securities.
Participations and Assignments
The Fund may acquire interests in loans either directly (by way of original issuance, sale or assignment) or indirectly (by way of participation). The purchaser of an assignment typically succeeds to all the rights and obligations of the assigning institution and becomes a lender under the credit agreement with respect to the debt obligation; however, its rights can be more restricted than those of the assigning institution. Participation interests in a portion of a debt obligation typically result in a contractual relationship only with the institution participating in the interest, not with the borrower. In purchasing participations, the Fund generally will have no right to enforce compliance by the borrower with the terms of the loan agreement, nor any rights of set-off against the borrower, and the Fund may not directly benefit from the collateral supporting the debt obligation in which it has purchased the participation. As a result, the Fund will assume the credit risk of both the borrower and the institution selling the participation.
Commitments and Contingencies
Commercial loans purchased by the Fund (whether through participations or as a lender of record) may be structured to include both term loans, which are generally fully funded at the time of investment, and unfunded loan commitments, which are contractual obligations for future funding. Unfunded loan commitments may include revolving credit facilities and delayed draw term loans, which may obligate the Fund to supply additional cash to the borrower on demand, representing a potential financial obligation by the Fund in the future. The Fund may receive a commitment fee based on the undrawn portion of such unfunded loan commitments. The commitment fee is typically set as a percentage of the commitment amount. As of June 30, 2023, the Fund had the following unfunded loan commitments as noted in the consolidated Schedule of Investments with a total principal amount of $30,568,232.

Borrowing, Use of Leverage
On December 20, 2021, the Fund’s wholly owned subsidiary, CELF SPV LLC (“CELF SPV”), entered into a secured revolving credit facility (the “Facility”), pursuant to a Loan and Servicing Agreement with Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company as an initial lender and the administrative agent, C.M. Life Insurance Company as an initial lender and other lenders from time to time as parties thereto (the “Lenders”), the Fund, Alter Domus (US) LLC as the Collateral Custodian and other parties. As of May 19, 2023, the Facility provides for borrowings on a committed basis in an aggregate principal amount up to $350,000,000, and may be increased further from time to time upon mutual agreement by the Lenders and CELF SPV. The Facility is secured by the Fund’s equity interest in CELF SPV and by CELF SPV’s assets. The Facility matures on December 20, 2029. In connection with the Facility, CELF SPV has made certain customary representations and warranties and is required to comply with various customary covenants, reporting requirements and other requirements. The Facility contains events of default customary for similar financing transactions, including: (i) the failure to make principal, interest or other payments when due after the applicable grace period; (ii) the insolvency or bankruptcy of CELF SPV or the Fund; (iii) a change of control of CELF SPV; or (iv) a change of management of the Fund. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an event of default, the Lenders may declare the outstanding advances and all other obligations under the Facility immediately due and payable.
Certain Fund investments are held by this special purpose vehicle (“SPV”). The use of leverage increases both risk of loss and profit potential. The Fund is subject to the Investment Company Act requirement that an investment company satisfy an asset coverage requirement of 300% of its indebtedness, including amounts borrowed (including through one or more SPVs that are wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Fund), measured at the time the investment company incurs the indebtedness. This means that at any given time the value of the Fund’s total indebtedness may not exceed one-third the value of its total assets (including such indebtedness). The interests of persons with whom the Fund (or SPVs that are wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Fund) enters into leverage arrangements will not necessarily be aligned with the interests of the Fund’s shareholders and such persons will have claims on the Fund’s assets that are senior to those of the Fund’s shareholders. In addition to the risks created by the Fund’s use of leverage, the Fund is subject to the additional risk that it would be unable to timely, or at all, obtain leverage borrowing. The Fund might also be required to de-leverage, selling securities at a potentially inopportune time and incurring tax consequences. Further, the Fund’s ability to generate income from the use of leverage would be adversely affected.
3. Fair Value of Investments
Fair value – Definition
The Fund uses a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The objective of a fair value measurement is to determine the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (an exit price). Accordingly, the fair value 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). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
| • | Level 1 – Valuations based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities. |
| • | Level 2 – Valuations based on inputs, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, that are observable either directly or indirectly. |
| • | Level 3 – Valuations based on inputs that are both significant and unobservable to the overall fair value measurement. |
Investments in Private Investment Funds measured based upon Net Asset Value (“NAV”) as a practical expedient to determine fair value are not required to be categorized in the fair value hierarchy.
The availability of valuation techniques and observable inputs can vary from investment to investment and are affected by a wide variety of factors, including type of investment, whether the investment is new and not yet established in the marketplace, the liquidity of markets, and other characteristics particular to the transaction. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, determining fair value requires more judgment. Because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation, estimated values may be materially higher or lower than the values that would have been used had a ready market for the investments existed. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised by the Investment Manager in determining fair value is greatest for investments categorized in Level 3.
The Fund’s assets recorded at fair value have been categorized based on a fair value hierarchy as described in the Fund’s significant accounting policies. The following table presents information about the Fund’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value as of June 30, 2023:
