CPG Vintage Access Fund VI, LLC Consolidated Notes to Financial Statements September 30, 2024 |
1. ORGANIZATION |
CPG Vintage Access Fund VI, LLC (the “Fund”) was organized as a Delaware limited liability company on November 4, 2022. The Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) as a closed-end, non-diversified management investment company. The Fund commenced operations on April 14, 2023. CPG VA Acquisition Fund VI, LLC (“CPG VA Acquisition Fund VI”), a wholly owned entity, is consolidated in the Fund’s financial statements. The Fund’s investment adviser is Central Park Advisers, LLC (the “Adviser”), a Delaware limited liability company registered under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended. The Fund’s investment objective is to seek long-term attractive risk adjusted returns. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective principally by making primary investments in a portfolio of institutional private equity, venture and private debt investment funds managed or sponsored by various asset management firms unaffiliated with the Adviser (the “Investment Funds”) that were represented on the Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC (“Morgan Stanley”) platform during the Fund’s vintage period. Morgan Stanley is not a sponsor, promoter, adviser or affiliate of the Fund.
Subject to the requirements of the 1940 Act, the business and affairs of the Fund shall be managed under the direction of the Fund’s Board of Directors (the “Board,” with an individual member referred to as a “Director”). The Board shall have the right, power and authority, on behalf of the Fund and in its name, to do all things necessary and proper to carry out its duties under the Fund’s Limited Liability Company Agreement (the “LLC Agreement”), as amended and restated from time to time. Each Director shall be vested with the same powers, authority and responsibilities on behalf of the Fund as are customarily vested in each director of a closed-end management investment company registered under the 1940 Act that is organized under Delaware law. No Director shall have the authority individually to act on behalf of or to bind the Fund except within the scope of such Director’s authority as delegated by the Board. The Board may delegate the management of the Fund’s day-to-day operations to one or more officers or other persons (including, without limitation, the Adviser), subject to the investment objective and policies of the Fund and to the oversight of the Board. The Directors have engaged the Adviser to provide investment advice regarding the selection of Investment Funds and to be responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund. In accordance with Rule 2a-5 promulgated under the 1940 Act, the Board has appointed the Adviser as the Fund’s valuation designee (the “Valuation Designee”), and has assigned to the Adviser general responsibility for determining the value of the Fund’s investments. In that role, the Adviser has established a committee (the Valuation Committee”) that oversees the valuation of the Fund’s investments pursuant to procedures adopted by the Adviser (the “Valuation Procedures”).
The initial closing date for subscriptions for units of limited liability company interests (“Units”) was April 14, 2023 (“Initial Closing”). Subsequent to the Initial Closing, the Fund offered Units at additional closings, which occurred over a period of approximately ten months following the Initial Closing (the last closing being referred to as the “Final Closing”). An investor that participated in a closing that occurred after the Initial Closing was required to pay a “make-up” amount to the Fund. Such “make-up” payment was calculated by applying an annualized rate of 6.0% to the percentage of the aggregate commitments by investors to the Fund (“Commitments”) previously drawn down by the Fund and applied over the period of time since such draw-downs. The amount of the make-up fee payments were paid to and retained as assets of the Fund. This amount is presented as a component of Net Assets on the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
The Fund does not have a fixed term. The Investment Funds, however, generally will have fixed terms. Investors reasonably can expect to receive distributions from the Fund periodically after the Fund receives distributions from Investment Funds and when Investment Funds terminate, which the Fund anticipates will occur approximately 10 to 12 years after the Final Closing. The Fund will be wound up and dissolved after its final distribution to investors. The Fund may be dissolved prior thereto in accordance with its LLC Agreement.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Fund meets the definition of an investment company and follows the accounting and reporting guidance as issued through the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 946, Financial Services — Investment Companies.
8
CPG Vintage Access Fund VI, LLC Consolidated Notes to Financial Statements (Continued) September 30, 2024 |
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) |
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its consolidated financial statements. These policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).
Federal Tax Information: It is the Fund’s policy to qualify as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). The Fund’s policy is to comply with the provisions of the Code applicable to RICs and to distribute to its investors substantially all of its distributable net investment income and net realized gain on investments, if any, earned each year. In addition, the Fund intends to make distributions to avoid excise taxes. Accordingly, no provision for federal income or excise tax has been recorded in these consolidated financial statements.
The Fund has adopted a tax year end of September 30 (the “Tax Year”). The Fund files tax returns as prescribed by the tax laws of the jurisdictions in which it operates. In the normal course of business, the Fund is subject to examination by U.S. federal, state, local and foreign jurisdictions, where applicable. Accordingly, tax basis distributions made during the 12 months ended March 31, 2025, but after the Tax Year ended September 30, 2024, will be reflected in the consolidated financial statement footnotes for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025.
Management evaluates the tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Fund’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions will “more-likely-than-not” be sustained upon examination by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold that would result in a tax benefit or expense to the Fund would be recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. The 2024 Tax Year remains subject to examination by the U.S. taxing authorities. The Fund, exclusive of the Subsidiary, has not recognized any tax liability for unrecognized tax benefits or expenses. The Fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. During the six months ended September 30, 2024, the Fund did not incur any interest or penalties.
The character of distributions made during the year from net investment income or net realized gains may differ from the characterization for federal income tax purposes due to differences in the recognition of income, expense and gains or loss items for consolidated financial statement and tax purposes. Where appropriate, reclassifications between net asset accounts are made for such differences that are permanent in nature.
The September 30, 2024 book cost has been adjusted for book/tax basis differences as of the Fund’s last Tax Year end, September 30, 2023. The cost of investments and the net unrealized appreciation and depreciation on investments as of September 30, 2024 are noted below.
Federal tax cost of investments | | $ | 82,068,175 |
Net unrealized appreciation | | | 5,930,295 |
The fund has not paid distributions for the Tax Year ended September 30, 2024.
As of September 30, 2024, the components of distributable earnings (loss) on a tax basis were as follows:
Accumulated capital and other losses | | $ | (1,046 | ) |
Net unrealized appreciation | | | 5,930,295 | (a) |
Other temporary differences | | | (298,054 | ) |
Total accumulated earnings | | $ | 5,631,194 | |
Permanent book and tax differences resulted in reclassification for the Tax Year ended September 30, 2024 as follows:
Paid in capital | | $ | (6,682,053 | ) |
Total distributable earnings/(loss) | | | 6,682,053 | |

CPG Vintage Access Fund VI, LLC Consolidated Notes to Financial Statements (Continued) September 30, 2024 |
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) |
These reclassifications had no effects on net assets.
Cash: Cash consists of monies held at UMB Bank, N.A. (the “Custodian”). Such cash may exceed federally insured limits. The Fund has not experienced any losses in such accounts and does not believe it is exposed to any significant credit risk on such accounts. There are no restrictions on the cash held by the Fund.
Investment Transactions: The Fund accounts for realized gains and losses from its Investment Funds based upon the pro-rata ratio of the fair value and cost of the underlying investments at the date of distribution. Dividends are recorded on ex-date and interest income and expenses are recorded on an accrual basis. Distributions from Investment Funds will be received as underlying investments of the Investment Funds are liquidated. Distributions from Investment Funds occur at irregular intervals, and the exact timing of distributions from the Investment Funds has not been communicated from the Investment Funds. It is estimated that distributions will occur over the life of the Investment Funds.
Use of Estimates: The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity 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 consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and such differences could be material.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments: The fair value of the Fund’s assets and liabilities which qualify as financial instruments approximates the carrying amounts presented in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The Fund values its investments in Investment Funds at fair value in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification, Fair Value Measurement (“ASC 820”). See Note 3 for more information.
Distribution and Servicing fee: During the offering period (extending ten months from the Initial Closing) of the Fund the Distribution and Servicing fee was charged to paid-in capital as a distribution cost. Thereafter the fee was expensed as incurred.
Organizational Expenses: The Fund shall bear its organizational expenses; provided, however, that to the extent such organizational and offering expenses exceed $1,000,000, the excess amount over $1,000,000 shall be borne by the Adviser.
Consolidation of Subsidiary: The consolidated financial statements include the financial position and the results of operations of the Fund and its wholly owned subsidiary, CPG VA Acquisition Fund VI, a Delaware limited liability company. The wholly owned Subsidiary has the same investment objective as the Fund. The Subsidiary is taxed as a corporation and used when the Fund has determined that owning certain investment funds within a domestic limited liability company structure would not be beneficial. As of September 30, 2024, the total value of investment funds held by the subsidiary is $26,947,423, or approximately 26.29% of the Fund’s net assets.
The Subsidiary is subject to U.S. federal and state income taxes. This taxable entity is not consolidated for income tax purposes and may generate income tax assets or liabilities that reflect the net tax effect of temporary differences between the carrying amount of the assets and liabilities for financial reporting and tax purposes and tax loss carryforwards.
CPG VA Acquisition Fund VI, LLC recorded a provision for income tax expense for the six months ended September 30, 2024. This provision for income tax expense (benefit) is comprised of the following current and deferred income tax expense (benefit):
For financial reporting purposes, the components of income before provision for income taxes were as follows:
| | Six Months Ended September 30, 2024 |
Domestic | | $ | 639,776 |
Foreign | | | — |
Income (loss) before income taxes | | $ | 639,776 |

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) |
CPG VA Acquisition Fund VI, LLC had cumulative net operating loss carryforwards from its underlying investments as of its most recent tax year ending September 30, 2024 of $29,263.
Net operating loss carryforwards do not expire as they pertain to federal income tax. Net operating loss carryforwards for state income tax may begin to expire during the tax year ending September 30, 2039.
The Fund reviews the recoverability of its deferred tax assets based upon the weight of available evidence. When assessing the recoverability of its deferred tax assets, significant weight was given to the effects of potential future realized and unrealized gains on investments and the period over which these deferred tax assets can be realized. Currently, any capital losses that may be generated by the Fund are eligible to be carriedback up to three years and can be carried forward for five years to offset capital gains recognized by the Fund in those years.
The Federal, New York State, and New York City income tax returns are open to tax examination from inception of the corporation.
3. PORTFOLIO VALUATION
ASC 820 defines fair value as the value 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. ASC 820 establishes a three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability. Inputs may be observable or unobservable and refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Fund. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.
The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized below:
• Level 1 — 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 Investment Funds are recorded at fair value, using the Investment Funds’ net asset value (“NAV”) as a practical expedient in accordance with ASC 820 and they are excluded from the fair value hierarchy in accordance with ASU 2015-07. Other investments are assigned a level based upon the observation of the inputs which are significant to the overall valuation.
The Investment Funds are generally restricted securities that are subject to substantial holding periods and are not traded in public markets, so that the Fund may not be able to resell some of its investments for extended periods, which may be several years.
The NAV of the Fund is determined by, or at the direction of, the Adviser as of the close of business at the end of any fiscal period in accordance with the valuation principles set forth below or as may be determined, from time to time, pursuant to policies adopted by the Adviser. The Fund’s investments are subject to the terms and conditions of the respective operating agreements and offering memoranda, as appropriate. The Fund’s valuation committee (the “Valuation Committee”) oversees
12
CPG Vintage Access Fund VI, LLC Consolidated Notes to Financial Statements (Continued) September 30, 2024 |
3. PORTFOLIO VALUATION (continued) |
the valuation process of the Fund’s investments. The Valuation Committee meets on a quarterly basis and reports to the Board on a quarterly basis. ASC 820 provides for the use of NAV (or its equivalent) as a practical expedient to estimate fair value of investments in Investment Funds, provided certain conditions are met. As such, the Fund’s investments in Investment Funds are carried at fair value which generally represents the Fund’s pro-rata interest in the net assets of each Investment Fund as reported by the administrators and/or investment managers of the underlying Investment Funds. All valuations utilize financial information supplied by each Investment Fund and are net of management and incentive fees or allocations payable to the Investment Funds’ managers or pursuant to the Investment Funds’ agreements. The Investment Funds value their underlying investments in accordance with policies established by each Investment Fund, as described in each of their financial statements or offering memoranda. The Fund’s valuation procedures require the Adviser to consider all relevant information available at the time the Fund values its portfolio. The Adviser has assessed factors including, but not limited to, the individual Investment Funds’ compliance with fair value measurements, price transparency and valuation procedures in place. The Adviser will consider such information and consider whether it is appropriate, in light of all relevant circumstances, to value such a position at its NAV as reported or whether to adjust such value. The underlying investments of each Investment Fund are accounted for at fair value as described in each Investment Fund’s financial statements.
The Adviser employs ongoing due diligence policies and processes with respect to Investment Funds and their investment managers. The Adviser assesses the quality of information provided and determines whether such information continues to be reliable or whether additional inquiry is necessary. Such inquiries may require the Adviser to forego its normal reliance on the value provided and to independently determine the fair value of the Fund’s interest in such Investment Fund.
The fair value relating to certain underlying investments of these Investment Funds, for which there is no active market, has been estimated by the respective Investment Fund’s management 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 active market for the investments existed. These differences could be material.
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. The following is a summary of the inputs used, as of September 30, 2024, in valuing the Fund’s assets carried at fair value:
| | Level 1* | | Level 2* | | Level 3* | | Investments Measured at Net Asset Value(1) | | Total |
Investments | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

The Fund’s private equity financing stage and private credit with their corresponding unfunded commitments and other attributes, as of September 30, 2024, are shown in the table below.
Financing Stage | | Investment Strategy | | Fair Value | | Unfunded Commitments | | Remaining Life* | | Redemption Frequency | | Notice Period (In Days) | | Redemption Restrictions Terms* |
Buyout | | Control investments in established companies | | $72,184,492 | | $157,153,211 | | Up to 10 years | | None | | N/A | | N/A |
Growth | | Non-control investments in companies with high growth potential | | $4,809,622 | | $17,550,000 | | Up to 10 years | | None | | N/A | | N/A |
Credit | | Debt investments made through privately negotiated transactions | | $11,004,356 | | $50,538,698 | | Up to 10 years | | None | | N/A | | N/A |
Private equity is a common term for investments that typically are made in non-public companies through privately negotiated transactions.
The following is a summary of investment strategies of the Investment Funds held by the Fund as of September 30, 2024.
• Buyout: Control investments in established, cash flow positive companies are usually classified as buyouts. Buyout investments may focus on small-, mid- or large-capitalization companies, and such investments collectively represent a substantial majority of the capital deployed in the overall private equity market. The use of debt financing, or leverage, is prevalent in buyout transactions — particularly in the large-cap segment.
• Growth: Growth strategies typically involve non-control investments in companies with high growth potential that are in need of expansion capital.
• Credit: Private credit is a common term for unregistered debt investments made through privately negotiated transactions. Private credit investments may be structured using a range of financial instruments, including but not limited to, first and second lien senior secured loans, unitranche debt, mezzanine debt, unsecured debt and structurally subordinated instruments. While these strategies, which include special situations investments (including distressed investments), generally focus on originated or secondary purchases of fixed-income senior or subordinated credits of companies, they also may include certain equity features. Distressed investing encompasses a broad range of strategies including control and non-control distressed debt, operational turnarounds and “rescue” financings. The Fund’s private credit investments may include investments in privately offered business development companies (“BDCs”).
