REDWOOD REAL ESTATE INCOME FUND Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements June 30, 2024 (Unaudited) |
1. Organization
Redwood Real Estate Income Fund (the “Fund”) was established as a Delaware statutory trust (the “Trust”) on December 19, 2022. The Fund is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) as a non-diversified, closed-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”).
The Fund operates as an interval fund pursuant to Rule 23c-3 of the 1940 Act, and has adopted a fundamental policy to conduct quarterly repurchase offers at net asset value (“NAV”). The Fund currently offers one share class, Class I Shares, and is authorized to offer an unlimited number of shares. On April 21, 2023, Redwood Investment Management, LLC (the “Investment Manager”) made an initial purchase of 4,000 shares for $100,000 at a $25.00 net asset value per share. The Fund commenced investment operations on June 26, 2023.
The Fund’s investment objective is to provide current income and preserve shareholders’ capital. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets, plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes, in U.S. commercial real estate-related income investments. For this purpose, commercial real estate-related income investments include U.S.-based (i.e., backed by real estate based in one of the fifty U.S. states): (i) real estate mortgages, (ii) participation notes of real estate mortgages, (iii) mezzanine debt, and (iv) lines of credit for commercial real estate-related investments and real estate-related investment entities, such as REITs. These investments may include but are not limited to senior mortgage loans, second lien mortgages, also known as junior or sub-ordinated debt, mezzanine loans, and participation interests in such mortgages or debt.
The Investment Manager serves as the Fund’s investment adviser and is registered with the SEC under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (the “Advisers Act”). The Fund’s Board of Trustees (the “Board” or “Trustees”) has the overall responsibility for the management and supervision of the business operations of the Fund.
Consolidation of Subsidiaries
On February 8, 2024, Naikan I SPV, LLC (“SPV 1”) was formed as a limited liability company, and is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Fund. SPV 1 has entered into a Master Repurchase Agreement with Churchill MRA Funding I LLC (see Note 12) and the Consolidated Schedule of Investments, Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities, Consolidated Statement of Operations, Consolidated Statements of Changes in Net Assets, Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows and Consolidated Financial Highlights of the Fund include the accounts of SPV 1. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation for the Fund. As of June 30, 2024, net assets of SPV 1 were $95,654,138, or approximately 39.6% of the Fund’s total net assets.
2. Significant accounting policies
Basis of presentation
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of the financial statement. The Fund is an investment company and follows the accounting and reporting guidance under Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services — Investment Companies.
11
REDWOOD REAL ESTATE INCOME FUND Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) June 30, 2024 (Unaudited) |
2. Significant accounting policies – (Continued) |
Use of estimates
The preparation of the financial statement in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“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 statement, 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.
Income recognition and expenses
Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis as earned. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Expenses are recognized on an accrual basis as incurred. The Fund bears all expenses incurred in the course of its operations, including, but not limited to, the following: all costs and expenses related to portfolio transactions and positions for the Fund’s account; professional fees; costs of insurance; registration expenses; and expenses of meetings of the Board.
Investment transactions
Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Cost is determined and gains and losses are based upon the highest cost method for financial reporting.
Federal income taxes
The Fund has elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”). The Fund’s qualification and taxation as a REIT depend upon the Fund’s ability to meet on a continuing basis, through actual operating results, certain qualification tests set forth in the U.S. federal tax laws. Those qualification tests involve the percentage of income that the Fund earns from specified sources, the percentage of the Fund’s assets that falls within specified categories, the diversity of the ownership of the Fund’s shares, and the percentage of the Fund’s taxable income that the Fund distributes. No assurance can be given that the Fund will in fact satisfy such requirements for any taxable year. Provided that the Fund qualifies as a REIT, generally the Fund will be entitled to a deduction for dividends that the Fund pays and therefore will not be subject to U.S. federal corporate income tax on the Fund’s net taxable income that is currently distributed to the Fund’s shareholders. In general, the income that the Fund generates, to the extent declared as a dividend and subsequently paid to its shareholders, is taxed only at the shareholder level.
Distribution to shareholders
Distributions from net investment income of the Fund, if any, are declared and paid on a monthly basis. Distributions of net realized gains, if any, are declared annually. Distributions to shareholders of the Fund are recorded on the ex-dividend date and are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. For tax purposes, a distribution that for purposes of GAAP is composed of return of capital and net investment income may be subsequently re-characterized to also include capital gains. Shareholders will be informed of the tax characteristics of the distributions after the close of the 2024 fiscal year.
Investment valuation
The Fund’s net asset value (“NAV”) is calculated following the close of regular trading on the NYSE, generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time, on each day the NYSE is open for trading, which does not include weekends and customary holidays, and at such other times as the Board may determine, including
12
REDWOOD REAL ESTATE INCOME FUND Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) June 30, 2024 (Unaudited) |
2. Significant accounting policies – (Continued) |
in connection with repurchases of Shares, in accordance with the procedures described below or as may be determined from time to time in accordance with policies established by the Board. NAV per share is calculated by dividing the value of all of the securities and other assets of the Fund, less the liabilities (including accrued expenses and indebtedness), and the aggregate liquidation value of any outstanding preferred stock, by the total number of common shares outstanding.
The Fund’s Board oversees the valuation of the Fund’s investments on behalf of the Fund. The Board has approved valuation procedures for the Fund (the “Valuation Procedures”) and designated the Fund’s Investment Manager as its valuation designee (“Valuation Designee”). The Valuation Procedures provide that the Fund will value its investments at fair value.
The Valuation Procedures provide that the Fund will value its investments at fair value. The Board has delegated the day to day responsibility for determining these fair values in accordance with the policies it has approved to the Investment Manager. The Investment Manager’s Valuation Committee (the “Valuation Committee”) will oversee the valuation of the Fund’s investments on behalf of the Fund. The Board reviews and ratifies the execution of this process and the resultant fair value prices at least quarterly.
Short-term securities, including bonds, notes, debentures and other debt securities, and money market instruments such as certificates of deposit, commercial paper, bankers’ acceptances and obligations of domestic and foreign banks, with maturities of 60 days or less, for which reliable market quotations are readily available shall each be valued at current market quotations as provided by an independent pricing service or principal market maker.
Fixed income securities (other than the short-term securities as described above) shall be valued by (a) using readily available market quotations based upon the last updated sale price or a market value from an approved pricing service generated by a pricing matrix based upon yield data for securities with similar characteristics or (b) by obtaining a direct written broker-dealer quotation from a dealer who has made a market in the security. If no price is obtained for a security in accordance with the foregoing, because either an external price is not readily available or such external price is believed by the Valuation Designee not to reflect the market value, the Valuation Committee will make a determination in good faith of the fair value of the security in accordance with the Valuation Procedures. In general, fair value represents a good faith approximation of the current value of an asset and will be used when there is no public market or possibly no market at all for the asset. The fair values of one or more assets may not be the prices at which those assets are ultimately sold and the differences may be significant.
In circumstances in which market quotations are not readily available or are deemed unreliable, or in the case of the valuation of private, direct investments, such investments may be valued as determined in good faith using methodologies approved by the Board. In these circumstances, the Valuation Designee determines fair value in a manner that seeks to reflect the market value of the security on the valuation date based on consideration by the Valuation Committee of any information or factors deemed appropriate. The Valuation Committee may engage third party valuation consultants on an as-needed basis to assist in determining fair value.
Fair valuation involves subjective judgments, and there is no single standard for determining the fair value of an investment. The fair value determined for an investment may differ materially from the value that could be realized upon the sale of the investment. Fair values used to determine the Fund’s NAV may differ from quoted or published prices, or from prices that are used by others, for the same
13
REDWOOD REAL ESTATE INCOME FUND Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) June 30, 2024 (Unaudited) |
2. Significant accounting policies – (Continued) |
investment. Thus, fair valuation may have an unintended dilutive or accretive effect on the value of shareholders’ investments in the Fund. Non-material information that becomes known to the Fund or its agents after the NAV has been calculated on a particular day will not be used to retroactively adjust the price of a security or the NAV determined earlier.
Borrowing, Use of Leverage
The Fund may leverage its investments by “borrowing,” as described in Note 12, Master Repurchase Agreement. The use of leverage increases both risk and profit potential. With respect to reverse repurchase agreements or other similar financing transactions in particular, Rule 18f-4 of the Investment Company Act permits the Fund to enter such transactions if the Fund either (i) complies with the asset coverage requirements of Section 18 of the Investment Company Act, and combines the aggregate amount of indebtedness associated with all similar financing with the aggregate amount of any other senior securities representing indebtedness when calculating the relevant asset coverage ratio, or (ii) treats all similar financing transactions as derivatives transactions for all purposes under Rule 18f-4. The Fund intends to treat these financing transactions as derivatives pursuant to Rule 18f-4 and has adopted and implemented a derivatives risk management program to, among other things, manage the risks associated with the use of these derivatives. Although leverage may increase profits, it exposes the Fund to credit risk, greater market risks and higher current expenses. The effect of leverage with respect to any investment in a market that moves adversely to such investment could result in a loss to the investment portfolio of the Fund that would be substantially greater than if the investment were not leveraged. Also, access to leverage and financing could be impaired by many factors, including market forces or regulatory changes, and there can be no assurance that the Fund will be able to secure or maintain adequate leverage or financing. The ability of the Fund to transact business with any one or number of counterparties, the lack of any independent evaluation of such counterparties’ financial capabilities and the absence of a regulated market to facilitate settlement may increase the potential for losses by the Fund.
3. Fair value disclosures
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 for identical assets or liabilities that the Fund is able to access.
• 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 unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.
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
14

3. Fair value disclosures – (Continued) |
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 uncertainly 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 Valuation Designee in determining fair value is greatest for investments categorized in Level 3.
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. The following is a summary of the inputs used to determine fair value of the Fund’s investments as of June 30, 2024:

4. Management and other agreements
The Fund has entered into an investment management agreement with the Investment Manager (the “Management Agreement”), pursuant to which the Investment Manager provides advisory and other services to the Fund. For its provision of advisory services to the Fund, the Fund pays the Investment Manager an investment management fee at an annual rate of 1.75% payable monthly in arrears, accrued daily based upon the Fund’s average daily Managed Assets. “Managed Assets” means the total assets of the Fund, including leverage, minus liabilities (other than debt representing leverage and any preferred stock that may be outstanding). For the six months ended June 30, 2024, fees in the amount of $1,891,409 were incurred pursuant to the terms of the Management Agreement.
Certain officers and Trustees of the Trust are also officers of the Investment Manager.
PINE Advisors LLC provides Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”) services to the Fund. UMB Distribution Services, LLC serves as the Fund’s distributor (also known as the principal underwriter); UMB Fund Services, Inc. (“UMBFS”) serves as the Fund’s fund accountant, transfer agent and administrator.
5. Custody credits
Under an agreement with the Fund’s custodian bank, $3,316 of custodian fees were paid by credits for cash balances during the six months ended June 30, 2024. If not for the offset agreement, the assets could have been employed to produce income.
6. Capital share transactions
The Fund is authorized as a Delaware statutory trust to issue an unlimited number of shares (“Shares”). The minimum initial investment in Class I Shares by any investor is $1,000. However, the Fund, in its sole discretion, may accept investments below this minimum with respect to Class I Shares.
Class I Shares are not subject to a sales charge. Shares will generally be offered for purchase on each business day at NAV per share, except that Shares may be offered more or less frequently as determined by the Board in its sole discretion. The Board may also suspend or terminate offerings of Shares at any time.
Pursuant to Rule 23c-3 under the 1940 Act, on a quarterly basis, the Fund will offer shareholders the option of redeeming Shares at NAV. The Board determines the quarterly repurchase offer amount (“Repurchase Offer Amount”), which can be no less than 5% and no more than 25% of all shares outstanding on the repurchase request deadline. If shareholders tender more than the Repurchase Offer Amount, the Fund may, but is not required to, repurchase an additional amount of Shares not to exceed 2% of outstanding Shares of the Fund on the repurchase request deadline. If the Fund determines not to repurchase more than the Repurchase Offer Amount, or if shareholders tender Shares in an amount exceeding the Repurchase Offer Amount plus 2% of the outstanding Shares on the repurchase request deadline, the Fund will repurchase the Shares on a pro rata basis. However, the Fund may accept all shares tendered for repurchase by shareholders who own less than 100 shares and who tender all of their shares, before prorating other amounts tendered. In addition, the Fund may accept the total number of shares tendered in connection with required minimum distributions from an IRA or other qualified retirement plan. It is the shareholder’s obligation to both notify and provide the Fund supporting documentation of a required minimum distribution from an IRA or other qualified retirement plan.

10. Contingencies and commitments
In the normal course of business, the Fund will enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations which provide general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. However, the Fund expects the risk of loss to be remote.
The Fund is required to provide financial support in the form of investment commitments to certain investees as part of the conditions for entering into such investments. At June 30, 2024, the Fund reasonably believes its assets will provide adequate cover to satisfy all its unfunded commitments. The Fund’s unfunded commitments as of June 30, 2024 are as follows:

12. Master Repurchase Agreement
On April 23, 2024, Naikan I SPV, LLC (“SPV 1”) entered into a Master Repurchase Agreement (the “Repurchase Agreement”) with Churchill MRA Funding I LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Churchill”), pursuant to which Churchill has agreed, up to a maximum $200 million and subject to
21
REDWOOD REAL ESTATE INCOME FUND Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) June 30, 2024 (Unaudited) |
12. Master Repurchase Agreement – (Continued) |
the terms and conditions of the Repurchase Agreement, that Churchill may from time to time enter into one or more transactions consisting of a purchase by Churchill from SPV 1 of certain mortgage loans and the subsequent repurchase by SPV 1 from Churchill of such purchased mortgage loans. The cost of capital under the Repurchase Agreement is equal to the sum of (a) a floating rate equal to the three-month CME Term SOFR plus a 2.65% applicable spread, unless the applicable spread is otherwise agreed to between Churchill and SPV 1 plus (b) 0.35% advance rate of the borrowing base plus (c) 0.08% of the advance outstanding payable on a monthly basis.
At June 30, 2024, the total amount outstanding under the Repurchase Agreement was $61,490,313. The collateral pledged to Churchill at June 30, 2024 was 75 real estate mortgage loans that had an aggregate market value of $95,654,138. As of June 30, 2024 the effective rate charged under the Repurchase Agreement was 7.99% and interest incurred was $482,790.
13. Risk factors
LIMITED OPERATING HISTORY. The Fund is a newly organized, non-diversified, closed-end interval fund with no management investment company that has limited operating history. Due to the uncertainty in all investments, there can be no assurance that the Fund will succeed in meeting its investment objectives. The Fund may not grow or maintain an economically viable size, which may result in increased Fund expenses or a determination by the Board to liquidate the Fund.
REPURCHASE OFFERS; LIMITED LIQUIDITY. Although the Fund intends to implement a quarterly Share repurchase program, there is no guarantee that an investor will be able to sell all of the Shares he or she desires to sell. Accordingly, the Fund should be considered an illiquid investment.
NON-DIVERSIFIED STATUS. The Fund is classified as “non-diversified” under the 1940 Act. As a result, it can invest a greater portion of its assets in obligations of a single issuer than a “diversified” fund. The Fund may therefore be more susceptible than a diversified fund to being adversely affected by a single corporate, economic, political or regulatory occurrence.
SOURCING INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITIES RISK. The Investment Manager may not be able to locate a sufficient number of suitable investment opportunities or finalize investments at a pace that allows the Fund to fully implement its investment strategy. Therefore, the Fund’s operations will likely be materially adversely affected to the extent the Fund’s capital is not fully deployed.
MORTGAGE LOAN RISK. The Fund will invest in commercial mortgage loans, which are subject to risks of delinquency, foreclosure, and risk of loss. In the event of a commercial borrower’s default, the Fund’s profitability will suffer a material adverse effect to the extent of any deficiency between the value of the collateral and the principal and accrued interest of the mortgage loan.
MORTGAGE PARTICIPATION RISK. The Fund’s investments in commercial real estate loans will include holding a participation interest in such loans. The Fund generally will not have a right to enforce the borrower’s compliance with the terms of any loan agreement, so any such enforcement would require cooperation of other participation interests’ holders in the same underlying loan. The inability to enforce borrower’s compliance could have a material adverse effect on the Fund’s profitability.
MEZZANINE DEBT. Mezzanine investments share all of the risks of other high yield securities and are subject to greater risk of loss of principal and interest than higher-rated securities. High yield securities are below investment grade debt securities and are commonly referred to as “junk bonds.” They are also generally considered to be subject to greater risk than securities with higher ratings in the case
22
REDWOOD REAL ESTATE INCOME FUND Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) June 30, 2024 (Unaudited) |
13. Risk factors – (Continued) |
of deterioration of general economic conditions. Because investors generally perceive that there are greater risks associated with the lower-rated securities, the yields and prices of those securities may tend to fluctuate more than those for higher-rated securities.
FIXED INCOME SECURITIES RISK. A rise in interest rates typically causes bond prices to fall. The longer the duration of bonds held by the Fund, the more sensitive it will likely be to interest fluctuations.
SECURED OVERNIGHT FINANCING RATE (“SOFR”) RISK. SOFR is intended to be a broad measure of the cost of borrowing funds overnight in transactions that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury securities. Because SOFR is a financing rate based on overnight secured funding transactions, it differs fundamentally from the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), so there is no assurance that SOFR, or rates derived from SOFR, will perform in the same or similar way as LIBOR would have performed at any time, and there is no assurance that SOFR-based rates will be a suitable substitute for LIBOR.
DEPENDENCE ON KEY PERSONNEL RISK. The Fund’s performance may depend on the Investment Manager’s ability to attract and retain certain key personnel in providing services with respect to the Fund’s investments, as well as such key personnel’s performance in selecting securities or investment techniques for the Fund’s portfolio.
SECURED DEBT. Although secured debt in most circumstances is fully collateralized by the borrower’s assets and holds a senior position in the borrower’s capital structure, there is a risk that the collateral may decrease in value over time, and may be difficult to apprise or sell in a timely manner. Therefore, the Fund’s ability to fully collect on the investment in the event of a default, is not guaranteed.
SECOND LIEN AND SUBORDINATED LOANS. The Fund may invest in secured subordinated loans, which rank below senior secured loans in the priority of collateral claims. Consequently, such loans involve a higher degree of overall risk than senior loans of the same borrower due to the possible unsecured or partially secured status. Further, certain actions to enforce the Fund’s rights with respect to the collateral will be subject to senior loan holder’s directions.
DEFAULT RISK. The ability of the Fund to generate income through its loan investments is dependent upon payments being made by the borrower underlying such loan investments. If a borrower is unable to make its payments on a loan, the Fund may be greatly limited in its ability to recover any outstanding principal and interest under such loan.
ILLIQUID PORTFOLIO INVESTMENTS. The Fund’s investments may include loans that are not registered under the Securities Act, and are not listed on any securities exchange, and lack a reliable secondary market. As such, these investments should be considered illiquid. The Fund’s overall returns may be adversely affected by the illiquid status of such investments.
LENDER LIABILITY CONSIDERATIONS AND EQUITABLE SUBORDINATION. The Fund may be subject to allegations of lender liability due to alleged duty violations (e.g. good faith, commercial reasonableness and fair dealing). In addition, under “equitable subordination,” a court may elect to subordinate the Fund’s claim as a lender, to the claims of other creditors, under certain common law principles.
VALUATION RISK. Unlike publicly traded common stock which trades on national exchanges, there is no central place or exchange for many of the Fund’s investments to trade. Due to the lack of centralized information and trading, the valuation of loans or fixed-income instruments may result in more risk than that of common stock. Uncertainties in the conditions of the financial market, unreliable
23
REDWOOD REAL ESTATE INCOME FUND Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) June 30, 2024 (Unaudited) |
13. Risk factors – (Continued) |
reference data, lack of transparency and inconsistency of valuation models and processes may lead to inaccurate asset pricing. In addition, other market participants may value securities differently than the Fund. As a result, the Fund may be subject to the risk that when an instrument is sold in the market, the amount received by the Fund is less than the value of such loans or fixed-income instruments carried on the Fund’s books.
Shareholders should recognize that valuations of illiquid assets involve various judgments and consideration of factors that may be subjective. As a result, the NAV of the Fund, as determined based on the fair value of its investments, may vary from the amount ultimately received by the Fund from its investments. This could adversely affect Shareholders whose Shares are repurchased as well as new Shareholders and remaining Shareholders.
REAL ESTATE INDUSTRY CONCENTRATION. The Fund will concentrate (i.e., invest more than 25% of its assets) its investments in securities of real estate industry issuers. As such, its portfolio will be significantly impacted by the performance of the real estate market and may experience more volatility and be exposed to greater risk than a more diversified portfolio.
CONFLICTS OF INTEREST. The Fund may be subject to a number of actual and potential conflicts of interest, resulting from the use of leverage, the Investment Manager’s other financial advisory activities that are similar to (or different than) those of the Fund, and personal trading of the directors, partners, trustees, managers, members, officers and employees of the Investment Manager and its affiliates.
CASH CONCENTRATION RISK. The Fund may hold varying concentrations of cash and cash equivalents periodically which may consist primarily of cash, deposits in money market accounts and other short-term investments which are readily convertible into cash and have an original maturity of three months or less. Cash and cash equivalents are subject to credit risk to the extent those balances exceed applicable Securities Investor Protection Corporations (“SIPC”) or Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) limitations.
REVERSE REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS RISK. Reverse repurchase agreements involve the sale of securities held by the Fund with an agreement by the Fund to repurchase the securities at a mutually agreed upon date and price (including interest). Reverse repurchase agreements involve leveraging. If the securities held by the Fund decline in value while these transactions are outstanding, the NAV of the Fund’s outstanding shares will decline in value proportionately more than the decline in value of the securities. In addition, reverse repurchase agreements involve the risk that the investment return earned by the Fund (from the investment of the proceeds) will be less than the interest expense of the transaction, that the market value of the securities sold by the Fund will decline below the price the Fund is obligated to pay to repurchase the securities, and that the securities may not be returned to the Fund.
14. Subsequent events
Management of the Fund has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the Fund through the date the financial statements were issued and has determined that there were no subsequent events requiring recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.
