a principal market, the most advantageous market, which may be a hypothetical market. Market participants are defined as buyers and sellers in the principal or most advantageous market that are independent, knowledgeable, and willing and able to transact. In accordance with ASC 820-10, the Fund has considered its principal market as the market in which the Fund exits its portfolio investments with the greatest volume and level of activity. ASC 820-10 specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to those valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. In accordance with ASC 820-10, these inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized below:
| • | | Level 1 – Inputs that reflect unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical financial instruments that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date. |
| • | | Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the financial instrument, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs also include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active. |
| • | | Level 3 – Significant unobservable inputs for the financial instrument (including management’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments). |
Investments in Portfolio Funds are recorded at fair value, using the Portfolio Funds’ net asset value as a “practical expedient,” in accordance with ASC 820-10.
Investments in Portfolio Funds generally are restricted securities that are subject to substantial holding periods and are not traded in public markets. Accordingly, the Fund may not be able to resell or realize some of its investments for extended periods, which may be several years. The types of Portfolio Funds that the Fund may make investments in include Primary and Secondary Investments.
The fair value relating to certain underlying investments of these Portfolio Funds, for which there is no public market, has been estimated by the respective Portfolio Fund Manager and is based upon available information in the absence of readily ascertainable fair values and does not necessarily represent amounts that might ultimately be realized. Due to the inherent uncertainty of valuation, those estimated fair values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a public market for the investments existed. These differences could be material.
Portfolio Funds measure their investment assets at fair value, and typically report a NAV per share on a calendar quarterly basis. In accordance with ASC 820-10, the Fund has elected to apply the practical expedient methodology and to value its investments in Portfolio Funds at their respective NAVs typically at each quarter. For non-calendar quarter days, the Fund determines the fair value of each Portfolio Fund by adjusting the most recent NAV provided by the Portfolio Fund Manager, as necessary, by the change in a relevant proxy that the Valuation Designee has deemed to be representative of the market.
The Fund may also make Direct Investments and Co-Investments, which may include debt and/or equity securities issued by operating companies and are typically made as investments alongside one or more private funds managed by the Adviser.
Due to the inherent uncertainty of estimates, fair value determinations based on estimates may materially differ from the values that would have been used had a ready market for the securities existed. The following is a summary of the Fund’s investments classified in the fair value hierarchy as of December 31, 2023:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
Investments in Securities at Value | | Level 1 | | | Level 2 | | Level 3 | | Total | |
Short-Term Investments | | | $46,698,088 | | | $— | | $— | | | $46,698,088 | |

Changes in inputs or methods used for valuing investments may result in transfers in or out of levels within the fair value hierarchy. The inputs or methods used for valuing investments may not necessarily be an indication of the risk associated with investing in those investments. Transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy are reported at the beginning of the reporting period in which they occur.
