Cascade Private Capital Fund
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
June 30, 2024 (Unaudited)
1. Organization
Cascade Private Capital Fund (the “Fund”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as a non-diversified, closed-end management investment company. The Fund is organized under the laws of the State of Delaware as a Delaware statutory trust pursuant to a Fourth Amended and Restated Certificate of Trust dated as of February 24, 2024, as it may be further amended from time to time. 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 intends to qualify as a regulated investment company (a “RIC”). The Fund commenced operations on January 7, 2022.
The Fund currently offers one class of shares, Class I shares, on a continuous basis at the net asset value (“NAV”) per share. The minimum initial investment in the Fund is $25,000,000 for the Class I shares. Investors purchasing Class I shares are not charged a sales load. Class 2 shares, Class 3 shares and Class 4 shares are no longer offered.
The Fund’s investment objective is to generate long-term capital appreciation by investing in a portfolio of private equity, private debt, and other private market investments (together, “Private Capital”); that provide attractive risk-adjusted return potential. Private Capital investments are investments into the equity and/or debt of private companies. The Fund will seek to achieve its objective through exposure to a broad set of managers, strategies and transaction types across multiple sectors, geographies and vintage years. Under normal circumstances, the Fund intends to invest and/or make capital commitments of at least 80% of its net assets (plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes) in assets representing investments in Private Capital (“Private Capital Assets”). This test is applied at the time of investment; later percentage changes caused by a change in the value of the Fund’s assets, including as a result of the issuance or repurchase of shares, will not require the Fund to dispose of an investment.
Basis of Consolidation
On January 7, 2022, Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company (“MassMutual”) performed an in-kind purchase transaction whereby it contributed the assets and liabilities of MassMutual Private Equity Funds LLC (“MMPEF”) and its subsidiary, MassMutual Private Equity Funds Subsidiary LLC (“MMPEF Subsidiary”) to the Fund in exchange for shares of the Fund. The consolidated financial statements of the Fund include MMPEF and MMPEF Subsidiary and the results of which are reported on a consolidated basis with the Fund. Both MMPEF and MMPEF Subsidiary are wholly owned subsidiaries of the Fund; therefore, all intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. As of June 30, 2024, MMPEF and MMPEF Subsidiary hold investments in the amount of $139,708,249 and $9,652,378, respectively.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed consistently by the Fund in the preparation of the financial statements 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 and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies.
Valuation of Investments
Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act establishes requirements for determining fair value in good faith for purposes of the 1940 Act. Rule 2a-5 permits fund boards to designate certain parties to perform fair value determinations, subject to board oversight and certain other conditions. Rule 2a-5 also defines when market quotations are “readily available” for purposes of the 1940 Act and the threshold for determining whether a fund must fair value a security. In connection with Rule 2a-5, the SEC also adopted related recordkeeping requirements and rescinded previously issued guidance, including with respect to the role of a board in determining fair value and the accounting and auditing of fund investments. Pursuant to the requirements of Rule 2a-5, the Board of Trustees of the Fund (the “Board”) designated the Investment Manager as its valuation designee (the “Valuation Designee”) to perform fair value determinations and approved new Valuation Procedures for the Fund (the “Valuation Procedures”). Under the Valuation Procedures adopted by the Board, the Board has delegated day-to-day responsibility for fair value determinations and pricing to the Valuation Designee subject to the oversight of the Board.

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Securities listed on a securities exchange, market or automated quotation system for which quotations are readily available (except for securities traded on NASDAQ), including securities traded over the counter, are valued at the last quoted sale price on the primary exchange or market (foreign or domestic) on which they are traded on a day the Fund will calculate its net asset value as of the close of business on each day that the New York Stock Exchange is open for business and at such other times as the Board shall determine (each a “Determination Date” or at approximately 4:00 p.m. U.S. Eastern Time if a security’s primary exchange is normally open at that time), or, if there is no such reported sale on the Determination Date, the mean between the closing bid and asked prices and if no asked price is available, at the bid price. For securities traded on NASDAQ, the NASDAQ Official Closing Price (which is the last trade price at or before 4:00 p.m. U.S. Eastern Time adjusted up to NASDAQ’s best offer price if the last trade price is below such bid and down to NASDAQ’s best offer price if the last trade is above such offer price) will be used.
Corporate loans are generally valued using unobservable pricing inputs received from the Fund’s investment partners or other third-party pricing services. The Investment Manager will continuously monitor the valuations of Fund investments provided by investment partners or other third-party pricing services and review any material concerns with the Valuation Committee. The Investment Manager may conclude, however, in certain circumstances, that a fair valuation provided by an investment partner or other third-party pricing service does not represent the fair value of a Fund investment and is not indicative of what actual fair value would be in an active, liquid or established market. In those circumstances, the Fund might value such investment at a discount or a premium to the value it receives from an investment partner or other third-party pricing service, in accordance with the Fund’s valuation procedures. Any such decision would be made in good faith, and subject to the review and supervision of the Valuation Committee. The Investment Manager may choose to value certain immaterial direct corporate loans internally upon approval of the Valuation Committee. The Board will consider, no less frequently than quarterly, all relevant information and the reliability of pricing information provided by the investment partners or other third-party pricing services. Additionally, the values of the Funds’ direct loan investments are adjusted daily based on the estimated total return that the asset will generate during the current quarter. The Investment Manager, other third-party pricing services and the Valuation Committee monitor these estimates regularly and update them as necessary if macro or individual changes warrant any adjustments. At the end of the quarter, each direct loan’s value is adjusted based on the actual income and appreciation or depreciation realized by such loan when its quarterly valuations and income are reported. This information is updated as soon as the information becomes available.
The Fund invests in interests or shares in private investment companies and/or funds (“Private Investment Funds”) where the net asset value may be calculated and reported by respective unaffiliated investment managers on a monthly or quarterly basis. Unless the Valuation Designee is aware of information that a value reported to the Fund by a portfolio, underlying manager, or administrator does not accurately reflect the value of the Fund’s interest in that Private Investment Fund, the Valuation Designee will use the net asset value provided by the Private Investment Funds as a practical expedient to estimate the fair value of such interests.
Repurchase Offers
The Fund intends to operate as an “interval fund” and, as such, has adopted a fundamental policy effective May 15, 2024, to make semi-annual repurchase offers, at per-class NAV, of not less than 5% and not more than 25% of the Fund’s outstanding shares on the repurchase request deadline. The Fund will offer to purchase only a small portion of its shares during each repurchase offer, and there is no guarantee that shareholders will be able to sell all of the shares that they desire to sell in any particular repurchase offer. If a repurchase offer is oversubscribed, the Fund may repurchase only a pro rata portion of the shares tendered by each shareholder. The potential for proration may cause some investors to tender more shares for repurchase than they wish to have repurchased or result in investors being unable to liquidate all or a given percentage of their investment during the particular repurchase offer.
Accounting for Investment Transactions
Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date. However, for NAV determination, portfolio securities transactions are reflected no later than in the first calculation on the first business day following trade date. Realized gains and losses on sales of investments are computed by the specific identification cost method. Dividend income and realized capital gain distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends received in the form of stock are recorded as dividend income at market value. Withholding taxes on foreign interest, dividends, and capital gains have been provided for in accordance with the applicable country’s tax rules and rates. Foreign dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or as soon as practicable after the Fund determines the existence of a dividend declaration after exercising reasonable due

diligence. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gains are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain, respectively. Payable to counterparty reflects cash received by the Fund for a contractual sale that was received after June 30, 2024.
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders
Dividends from net investment income and distributions of any net realized capital gains of the Fund are declared and paid at least annually and at other times as may be required to satisfy tax or regulatory requirements. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from (“U.S. GAAP”). As a result, net investment income and net realized capital gains on investment transactions for a reporting period may differ significantly from distributions during such period.
Foreign Currency Translation
The books and records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. The market values of foreign currencies, foreign securities, and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate on the date of the report. Purchases and sales of foreign securities and income and expense items are translated at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. The Fund does not isolate that portion of the results of operations arising from changes in the exchange rates from that portion arising from changes in the market prices of securities. Net realized foreign currency gains and losses resulting from changes in exchange rates include foreign currency gains and losses between trade date and settlement date on investment securities transactions, foreign currency transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends or interest recorded on the books of the Fund and the amount actually received.
Federal Income Taxes
The Fund intends to continue to qualify as a “RIC” 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, 2024.
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, 2024, the Fund had unfunded loan commitments as noted in the Consolidated Schedule of Investments with a total principal amount of $960,000 and fair value of $(14,254).
Certain private investment vehicles are invested into on a commitment basis with capital being drawn down over time. As of June 30, 2024, the fund has $222,551,564 in unfunded commitments to these private investment vehicles.
3. Fair Value of Investments
The Fund values its investments at fair value. Fair value is defined as 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. A three-tier hierarchy is utilized to classify assets based on the use of observable versus unobservable market data inputs of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability. Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability and are developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs may include the adviser’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized in the three broad levels listed below. The inputs or methodology used for valuing investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those investments and the determination of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and consideration of factors specific to each security.

3. Fair Value of Investments (continued)
Level 1 – quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical investments that the Fund can access at the measurement date
Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
The availability of observable inputs can vary by security and is affected by a variety of factors, including, for example, the type of security, whether the security is new and not yet established in the marketplace, the liquidity of markets, and other characteristics particular to the security. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3.
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level within the hierarchy. In addition, in periods of market dislocation, the observability of prices and inputs may be reduced for many instruments. This condition, as well as changes related to liquidity of investments, could cause a security to be reclassified between levels. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the overall fair value measurement.
Investments in Private Investment Funds are measured based upon NAV as a practical expedient to determine fair value are not required to be categorized in the fair value hierarchy. These Private Investment Funds are included in the table to reconcile to the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
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, 2024.
