(1)All investments in AMG Comvest Senior Lending Fund (the “Fund”) are considered qualifying assets, under Section 55(a) of the Investment Company Act of 1940. The Fund may not acquire any non-qualifying asset unless, at the time of acquisition, qualifying assets represent at least 70% of the Fund’s total assets. As of June 30, 2024, there were no investments held by the Fund that are considered non-qualifying assets.
(2)Percentages are based on net assets as of June 30, 2024.
(3)The fair value of investments with respect to securities for which market quotations are not readily available are valued using significant unobservable inputs (See Note 3 - Fair Value of Financial Instruments).
(4)For investments in revolving credit facilities and delayed draw commitments, the cost basis of the funded investments purchased is offset by any costs/netbacks received for any unfunded portion on the total balance committed. The fair value is also adjusted for the price appreciation or depreciation on the unfunded portion. As a result, the purchase of commitments not completely funded may result in a negative fair value until it is called and funded. Please refer to Note 5 - Commitments and Contingencies for details of these unfunded commitments.
(5)The majority of the investments bear interest at a rate that may be determined by reference to Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) and which reset monthly, quarterly, semiannually, or annually. For each, the Fund has provided the spread over the reference rate and the current interest rate in effect at the reporting date. Certain investments are subject to an interest rate floor. For fixed rate loans, a spread above a reference rate is not applicable.
(6)All investments domiciled in the United States unless otherwise noted.
(7)Positions that have a SOFR reference rate, from time to time have an additional spread adjustment. This spread adjustment ranges from 0% - 0.26% depending on the contractual arrangement. These spread adjustments have been included in the all-in rate shown.
(8)Investment is held by AMG Comvest Senior Lending Blocker MF SPV, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of AMG Comvest Senior Lending Fund.

The Fund was initially formed with the name Comvest Credit Partners BDC Fund, L.P., which changed to AMG Comvest Senior Lending Fund on October 23, 2023. The Fund is a diversified, closed-end management investment company that, on October 24, 2023, elected to be regulated as a business development company (“BDC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The Fund intends to elect to be treated as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). Prior to October 25, 2023, the Fund was treated as a partnership for tax purposes.
The Fund is managed by Comvest Credit Managers, LLC (the “Investment Adviser”), a Delaware limited liability company. The Investment Adviser is an affiliate of Comvest Capital Advisors LLC and Comvest Credit Advisors LLC (collectively, “Comvest Partners”) and Affiliated Managers Group (“AMG”). The Investment Adviser is registered as an investment adviser with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended.
The Fund commenced operations on September 29, 2023 (“Inception Date”), and commenced investment operations on October 18, 2023.
On March 11, 2024, the Fund established AMG Comvest Senior Lending Blocker MF SPV, LLC (“Subsidiary I”), a wholly-owned subsidiary and Delaware limited liability company to hold equity securities of portfolio companies organized as a pass-through entity while continuing to satisfy the requirements of a RIC under the Code.
On April 15, 2024, the Fund established AMG Comvest Senior Lending Fund LLI SPV, LLC (“Subsidiary II”), a wholly-owned financing subsidiary and Delaware limited liability company, for the purpose of holding pledged investments as collateral under a Secured Loan Facility (as defined below). Subsidiary II is a disregarded tax entity for tax purposes.
On May 30, 2024, the Fund established AMG Comvest SLF California, LLC (“Subsidiary III”, collectively with Subsidiary I and Subsidiary II, the “Subsidiaries”), a wholly-owned subsidiary and Delaware limited liability company, which has been established to acquire investments in the State of California, as required by California law. Subsidiary III is a disregarded tax entity for tax purposes.
Note 2—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The Fund’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and include the accounts of the Fund and its Subsidiaries. The Fund is an investment company and accordingly applies specific accounting and financial reporting requirements under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 946, Financial Services – Investments Companies.
The Fund’s consolidated interim financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP and pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form 10-Q and Article 6 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, the Fund’s consolidated interim financial statements do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, the consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments and reclassifications consisting solely of normal accruals that are necessary for the fair presentation of financial results as of and for the periods presented. The unaudited consolidated interim financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto in the Fund’s Form 10-K for the period from September 29, 2023, (“Inception Date”) to December 31, 2023, as filed with the SEC.
All intercompany balances and transactions between the Fund and the Subsidiaries have been eliminated.
The Fund reclassified certain industry groupings of its portfolio companies presented in the accompanying consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2024, to align with the recently updated Global Industry Classification Standards ("GICS"), where applicable. These reclassifications had no impact on the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities as of June 30, 2024.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in these consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Valuation of Portfolio Investments
The Investment Adviser applies fair value accounting in accordance with GAAP and valuation policies and procedures (“Valuation Policy”) adopted by the Fund’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”). Fair value is the amount 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. Investments are reflected on the Fund’s Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities at fair value, with changes in unrealized gains and losses resulting from changes in fair value reflected in the Fund’s Consolidated Statement of Operations as “Net change in unrealized gains (losses) of investments”.
The Investment Adviser values the Fund’s portfolio investments in accordance with the Valuation Policy and the 1940 Act. For purposes of the 1940 Act, the Board has designated the Investment Adviser as the Fund’s Valuation Designee under Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act (the “Valuation Designee”). The Board provides oversight of the Investment Adviser’s fair value determinations of the Fund’s portfolio investments on a quarterly basis in good faith, including investments that are not publicly traded and those whose market prices are not readily available.
One or more independent valuation firms (each a “Valuation Agent”) are engaged to independently value our investments, in consultation with the Investment Adviser. Our quarterly valuation procedures, which are the procedures that are followed by such Valuation Agent are set forth in more detail below:
1) Investments for which market quotations are readily available on an exchange are valued at such market quotations based on the closing price indicated from independent pricing services.
2) Investments for which indicative prices are obtained from various pricing services and/or brokers or dealers are valued through a multi- step valuation process, as described below, to determine whether the quote(s) obtained is representative of fair value in accordance with GAAP.
a) Bond quotes are obtained through independent pricing services. Internal reviews are performed by the personnel of the Valuation Agent, in consultation with the investment professionals of the Investment Adviser, and/or the Investment Adviser to ensure that the quote obtained is representative of fair value in accordance with GAAP and if so, the quote is used. In the event the Investment Adviser, with the assistance of the Valuation Agent, determines that the bonds quotes are not readily available or otherwise not determinable pursuant to the Fund’s valuation procedures, or not reliable, the investment is valued similarly to those assets with no readily available quotes (see (3) below); and
b) For investments other than bonds, the personnel of the Valuation Agent, in consultation with the investment professionals of the Investment Adviser, and/or the Investment Adviser, look at the number of quotes readily available and perform the following:
i) Investments for which two or more quotes are received from a pricing service are valued using the mean of the mean of the bid and ask of the quotes obtained. If quotes from pricing services differ by +/- five points or if the spread between the bid and ask for a quote is greater than 10 points, the personnel of the Valuation Agent, in consultation with the investment professionals of the Investment Adviser, will evaluate the reasonableness of the quote, and if the quote is determined to not be representative of fair value, the personnel of the Valuation Agent, in consultation with the investment professionals of the Investment Adviser, will use one or more of the methodologies outlined below to determine fair value;
ii) Investments for which one quote is received from a pricing service are validated by the Valuation Agent, in consultation with the investment professionals of the Investment Adviser, and/or the Investment Adviser. The personnel of the Valuation Agent, in consultation with the investment professionals of the Investment Adviser, and/or the Investment Adviser, analyze the market quotes obtained using an array of valuation methods (further described below) to validate the fair value. For assets where a supporting analysis is prepared, the Valuation Agent will document the selection and appropriateness of the indices selected for yield comparison and a conclusion documenting how the yield comparison analysis supports the proposed mark. The quarterly portfolio company monitoring reports which detail the qualitative and quantitative performance of the portfolio company will also be included. If the Valuation Agent, in consultation with the
investment professionals of the Investment Adviser, and/or the Investment Adviser, are unable to sufficiently validate the quote internally and if the investment’s par value exceeds a certain materiality threshold, the investment is valued similarly to those assets with no readily available quotes (see (3) below).
3) Investments for which quotations are not readily available through exchanges, pricing services, brokers, or dealers are valued through a multi- step valuation process:
a) Each portfolio company or investment is initially valued by the personnel of the Valuation Agent, in consultation with the investment professionals of the Investment Adviser;
b) The Valuation Agent undertakes a comprehensive valuation analysis, which includes an enterprise and/or collateral valuation, and subsequently a fundamental credit analysis and valuation with respect to both credit quality and market factors, for each of the portfolio companies or investments and provides a range of values on such investments to the Investment Adviser. The Valuation Agent also provides analyses to support its valuation methodology and calculations;
c) The Investment Adviser then reviews each valuation recommendation to confirm they have been calculated in accordance with the Valuation Policy;
d) The Investment Adviser determines the fair value of each investment in the portfolio in good faith based on the input of the Investment Adviser’s valuation team and, where applicable, the Valuation Agent or other external service providers; and
e) The Board provides oversight of the valuation process in accordance with Rule 2a-5, which includes a review of the quarterly reports prepared by the Investment Adviser or the Valuation Agent and the fair valuation determinations made by the Investment Adviser.
For investments in revolving credit facilities and delayed draw commitments, the cost basis of the funded investments purchased is offset by any costs/netbacks received for any unfunded portion on the total balance committed. The fair value is also adjusted for the price appreciation or depreciation on the unfunded portion. As a result, the purchase of commitments not completely funded may result in a negative fair value until it is called and funded.
The values assigned to investments are based upon available information and do not necessarily represent amounts which might ultimately be realized, since such amounts depend on future circumstances and cannot be reasonably determined until the individual positions are liquidated. Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of investments that do not have a readily available market value, the fair value of the Fund’s investments may fluctuate from period to period and the fluctuations could be material.
Investment Classification
The Fund classifies its investments in accordance with the requirements of the 1940 Act. Under the 1940 Act, “Control” is defined as the power to exercise a controlling influence over the management or policies of a company, unless such power is solely the result of an official position with such company. In addition, in accordance with Section 2(a)(9) of the 1940 Act, any person who owns beneficially, either directly or through one or more controlled companies, more than 25% of the voting securities of a company shall be presumed to control such company. Any person who does not so own more than 25% of the voting securities of any company shall be presumed not to control such company. Any person who does not so own more than 25% of the voting securities of any company and/or does not have the power to exercise control over the management or policies of such portfolio company shall be presumed not to control such company. Consistent with the 1940 Act, “Affiliated Investments” are defined as those investments in companies in which the Fund owns 5% or more of the voting securities. Consistent with the 1940 Act, “Non-affiliated Investments” are defined as investments that are neither Control Investments nor Affiliated Investments. As of June 30, 2024 and as of December 31, 2023, the Fund did not “control” and was not an “affiliated person” of any of its portfolio companies, each as defined in the 1940 Act.
Security Transactions
Security transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash held in banks and short-term, liquid investments in a money market deposit account. Such cash and cash equivalents, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. Cash and cash equivalents are carried at cost which approximates fair value.
The Fund considers all highly liquid investments that can be converted to cash, or having a maturity date, within three months, when acquired, to be cash equivalents. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Fund held cash and cash equivalents in the form of money market fund shares held in First American Government Obligations Fund Class X with a fair value of $15,903 and $8,511,
respectively, representing 18.9% and 30.9%, respectively, of the Fund’s net assets. Cash equivalents in the form of money market fund shares are valued at their reported net asset value (generally $1 per share) on the measurement date, and are categorized within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy under ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure (“ASC 820”), as inputs in the valuation are observable.
Organizational Expenses and Offering Costs
The Fund bore the organizational expenses and offering costs incurred in connection with its formation of and the offering of its common shares of beneficial interest, including the out-of-pocket expenses of the Investment Adviser and its agents and affiliates. Additionally, the Fund bore the organizational expenses and offering costs incurred in connection with the formation of AMG Comvest Senior Lending Feeder Fund LLC (“Feeder Fund I”) and AMG Comvest Senior Lending Feeder Fund II LLC (“Feeder Fund II”).
Organizational expenses are expensed as incurred, while offering costs are capitalized as a deferred charge and amortized to expense on a straight-line basis over 12 months from the commencement of investment operations. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, unamortized offering costs of $640.8 and $384.0, respectively, were deferred and are reflected in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as part of prepaid expenses and other assets. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Fund expensed organizational and offering costs in the amount of $170.8 and $281.2, respectively.
Revenue Recognition
Interest Income
Interest income, including amortization of premium and accretion of discount, is recorded on an accrual basis. Discount and premium on investments purchased are accreted/amortized over the expected life of the respective investment using the effective yield method. Loan origination fees, original issue discount (“OID”) and market discounts or premiums are capitalized and amortized into interest income using the effective interest method. Upon prepayment of a loan or debt security, any prepayment premiums, unamortized upfront loan origination fees and unamortized discounts are recorded as interest income. The Fund may have loans in its portfolio that contain a payment-inkind (“PIK” interest provision). PIK interest is accrued and recorded as income at the contractual rates, if deemed collectible. The PIK interest is added to the principal balance on the capitalization date and is generally due at maturity or when deemed by the issuer.
Fee Income
Fee income, such as structuring fees, loan monitoring, amendment, syndication, commitment, termination, and other loan fees are recognized as income when earned, either upon receipt or amortized into fee income. Upon the re-payment of a loan or debt security, any prepayment penalties and unamortized loan fees are recorded as fee income.
Net Realized Gain or Loss and Net Change in Unrealized Gain or Loss
Gain or loss on the sale of investments is calculated using the specific identification method. Net change in unrealized gain or loss will reflect the change in portfolio investment values during the reporting period, including any reversal of previously recorded unrealized gain or loss, when a gain or loss is realized.
Income Taxes
The Fund intends to elect to be treated, and intends to qualify annually thereafter, as a RIC under the Code and intends to operate in a manner so as to qualify for the tax treatment applicable to RICs. In order to qualify and be subject to tax as a RIC, among other things, the Fund will be required to meet certain source of income and asset diversification requirements and timely distribute dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes to its shareholders of an amount generally at least equal to 90% of its investment company taxable income, as defined by the Code and determined without regard to any deduction for dividends paid, for each tax year. The Fund intends to make the requisite distributions to its shareholders, which will generally relieve the Fund from U.S. federal income taxes with respect to all income distributed to its shareholders. The Fund evaluated tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing its consolidated financial statements to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the “more-likely-than-not” threshold are reserved and recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. All penalties and interest associated with income taxes are included in income tax expense. Conclusions regarding tax positions are subject to review and may be adjusted at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, ongoing analyses of tax laws, regulations and interpretations thereof.
Additionally, in order to avoid the imposition of a U.S. federal excise tax, we are required to distribute, in respect of each calendar year, dividends to our shareholders of an amount at least equal to the sum of 98% of our calendar year net ordinary income (taking into account certain deferrals and elections); 98.2% of our capital gain net income (adjusted for certain ordinary losses) for the one year period ending on October 31 of such calendar year; and any net ordinary income and capital gain net income for preceding calendar
years that were not distributed during such calendar years and on which we previously did not incur any U.S. federal income tax. If we fail to qualify as a RIC for any reason and become subject to corporate tax, the resulting corporate taxes could substantially reduce our net assets, the amount of income available for distribution and the amount of our distributions.
Subsidiary I filed an election with the Internal Revenue Service to be treated as a corporation for tax purposes and is subject to U.S. federal and state income taxes. The consolidated financial statements include Subsidiary I, for which a provision for corporate income taxes has been recorded. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, Subsidiary I recorded $9 as a deferred tax expense and deferred tax liability.
Deferred income tax is computed by applying the federal statutory income tax rate of 21% and estimated applicable state tax statutory rates (net of federal tax benefit) to unrealized gains/(losses) on investments before taxes for the quarter ended June 30, 2024.
Note 3—Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair value is the amount 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. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes and ranks the inputs to valuation techniques used in measuring investments at fair value. The hierarchy classifies the inputs used in measuring fair value into three levels as follows:
•Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities 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 asset and liability or can be corroborated with observable market data for substantially the entire contractual term of the asset or liability.
•Level 3—Unobservable inputs that reflect the Fund’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in the pricing of the asset or liability and are consequently not based on market activity, but rather through particular valuation techniques.
The determination of where an asset or liability falls in the above hierarchy requires significant judgment and factors specific to the asset or liability. In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Fund evaluates its hierarchy disclosures each quarter and depending on various factors, it is possible that an asset or liability may be classified differently from quarter to quarter.
Determination of fair values involves subjective judgments and estimates. Accordingly, the notes to the consolidated financial statements refer to the uncertainty with respect to the possible effect of such valuations, and any change in such valuations on the consolidated financial statements.
The following table presents fair value measurements of investments and cash equivalents, by major class, as of June 30, 2024, according to the fair value hierarchy:

Significant Unobservable Inputs
The following table summarizes the significant unobservable inputs used to value Level 3 investments as of June 30, 2024. The table is not intended to be all-inclusive, but instead identifies the significant unobservable inputs relevant to the determination of fair values.
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
As of June 30, 2024 |
| | | | | | | | Selected Input Range | | | | | Impact to Valuation from |
Asset Category | | Fair Value | | Primary Valuation Technique | | Unobservable Inputs | | Minimum | | | Maximum | | | Weighted Average (a) | | an Increase in Input (b) |
First Lien Senior Secured | | $66,394 | | Discounted Cash Flow | | Discount Rate | | 8.6% | | | 21.4% | | | 11.0% | | Decrease |

(a)Weighted averages are calculated based on fair value of investments.
(b)Represents the directional change in the fair value of the Level 3 investments that could have resulted from an increase in the corresponding inputs as of a period end. A decrease to the unobservable input would have had the opposite effect. Significant changes in these inputs may have resulted in a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement at the period end.
The following table summarizes the significant unobservable inputs used to value Level 3 investments as of December 31, 2023. The table is not intended to be all-inclusive, but instead identifies the significant unobservable inputs relevant to the determination of fair values.

Total | | $ | 18,281 | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
(a)Weighted averages are calculated based on fair value of investments.
(b)Represents the directional change in the fair value of the Level 3 investments that could have resulted from an increase in the corresponding inputs as of a period end. A decrease to the unobservable input would have had the opposite effect. Significant changes in these inputs may have resulted in a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement at the period end.
There were no significant changes in valuation approach or technique as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
Level 3 inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to overall fair value measurement. The inputs into the determination of fair value require significant management judgment or estimation. Financial instruments that are included in this category include investments in privately held entities where the fair value is based on unobservable inputs.
The income and market approaches were used in the determination of fair value of certain Level 3 assets as of June 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023. The significant unobservable inputs used in the income approach are the discount rate or market yield used to discount the estimated future cash flows expected to be received from the underlying investment, which include both future principal and interest payments and any other end of term fees, as applicable. Included in the consideration and selection of discount rates are factors such as risk of default, interest rate risk, and changes in credit quality. The significant unobservable inputs used in the market approach are based on market comparable transactions and market multiples of publicly traded comparable companies.
Note 4—Related Party Transactions
Investment Management Agreement
The Fund entered into an investment advisory agreement (the “Investment Management Agreement”) with the Investment Adviser in which the Investment Adviser, subject to the overall supervision of the Board, manages the day-to-day operations of, and provides investment advisory and management services to the Fund. Under the terms of the Investment Management Agreement, the Fund will pay the Investment Adviser an annual base management fee (“Management Fee”) and incentive management fee (the “Incentive Fee”).
Management Fee
The Management Fee will be calculated and payable quarterly in arrears at an annual rate of 1.25% of net assets as of the beginning of the first calendar day of the applicable quarter. The Management Fee will be appropriately adjusted for any share issuances or repurchases during the applicable quarter.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Fund incurred $158.4 and $245.8, respectively, in Management Fees under the Investment Management Agreement. The Investment Adviser has chosen to voluntarily waive $42.9 and $130.3, respectively, of Management Fees earned in accordance with the Investment Management Agreement for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, which is reflected in the Statement of Operations as a part of Fee Waivers. Any fees waived under the Investment Management Agreement are not subject to future reimbursement to the Investment Adviser pursuant to the Expense Limitation and Reimbursement Agreement.
Incentive Fee
The Incentive Fee consists of two components that are independent of each other. A portion of the Incentive Fee is based on a percentage of the Fund’s income and a portion is based on a percentage of the Fund’s capital gains, each as described below:
The first part is calculated and payable quarterly in arrears on the Fund’s Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income Returns. For this purpose, Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income Returns means dividends, cash interest or other distributions or other cash income and any third-party fees received from portfolio companies (such as upfront fees, commitment fees, origination fee, amendment fees, ticking fees and break-up fees, as well as prepayments premiums, but excluding fees for providing managerial assistance and fees earned by Investment Adviser or an affiliate in its capacity as an administrative agent, syndication agent, collateral agent, loan servicer or other similar capacity), accrued during the month, minus the Fund’s operating expenses for the month (including the Management Fee, taxes, any expenses payable under the Investment Management Agreement and Administration Agreement, any expense of securitizations, and interest expense or other financing fees and any dividends paid on preferred shares, but excluding the incentive fee and shareholder servicing and /or distribution fees). Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income Returns includes, in the case of investments with a deferred interest feature (such as OID, debt instruments with PIK interest and zero-coupon securities), accrued income that the Fund has not yet received in cash. Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income Returns do not include any realized capital gains, realized capital losses or unrealized capital appreciation or depreciation. The impact of expense support payments and recoupments are also excluded from Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income Returns.
Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income Returns, expressed as a percentage of the value of the Fund’s net assets at the end of the immediately preceding quarter, is compared to a hurdle. The Fund will pay the Investment Adviser an incentive fee with respect to Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income Returns in each calendar quarter as follows:
•No incentive fee in any calendar quarter in which Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income Returns does not exceed the hurdle rate of 1.25% per quarter (5.00% annualized);
•100% of Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income Returns with respect to that portion of such Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income Returns, if any, that exceeds the hurdle rate but is less than a rate of return of 1.43% (5.72% annualized). This portion of the Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income Returns (which exceeds the hurdle rate but is less than 1.43%) is referred to as the “catch-up.” The “catch-up” is meant to provide the Investment Adviser with approximately 12.5% of the Fund’s Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income Returns as if a hurdle rate did not apply if this net investment income exceeds 1.43% in any calendar quarter; and
•12.5% of the amount of Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income Returns, if any, that exceeds 1.43% (5.72% annualized). This reflects that once the hurdle rate is reached and the catch-up is achieved, 12.5% of all Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income Returns thereafter are paid to the Investment Adviser.
These calculations are pro-rated for any period of less than three months and adjusted for any Share issuances or repurchases during the applicable quarter.
The second part of the Incentive Fee, the capital gains incentive fee, will be payable in arrears as of the end of each calendar year and will equal 12.5% of the Fund’s cumulative realized capital gains, if any, from inception through the end of such calendar year, computed net of all realized capital losses and unrealized capital depreciation, less the aggregate amount of any previously paid incentive fees on fees on capital gains as calculated in accordance with GAAP.
Each year, the fee paid for the capital gains incentive fee is net of the aggregate amount of any previously paid capital gains incentive fee for all prior periods. The Fund will accrue, but will not pay, a capital gains incentive fee with respect to unrealized appreciation because a capital gains incentive fee would be owed to the Investment Adviser if the Fund were to sell the relevant investment and realize a capital gain. For purposes of computing the Fund’s Incentive Fee on capital gains, the calculation methodology looks through derivative financial instruments or swaps, if owned, as if the Fund owned the reference assets directly.
The fees that are payable under the Investment Management Agreement for any partial period will be appropriately prorated.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Fund incurred $7 and $88, respectively, in Incentive Fees under the Investment Management Agreement. The Investment Adviser has chosen to voluntarily waive $0 and $81, respectively, of incentive fees earned in accordance with the Investment Management Agreement for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, which is reflected in the Statement of Operations as a part of Fee Waivers. Any fees waived under the Investment Management Agreement are not subject to future reimbursement to the Investment Adviser pursuant to the Expense Limitation and Reimbursement Agreement.
Administration Agreement
The Fund entered into an administration agreement (the “Administration Agreement”) with AMG Funds LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly-owned subsidiary of AMG (the “Administrator”), under which the Administrator will perform or oversees the performance of certain administrative services for the Fund. The Fund will pay the Administrator a fee (the “Administration Fee”) at the rate of 0.25% per annum of the Fund’s net assets as of the beginning of the first calendar day of the applicable quarter, adjusted for any Share issuances or repurchases during the applicable quarter. The Administration Fee will be calculated and payable quarterly in arrears.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Fund incurred $31.7 and $49.2, respectively, in Administration Fees under the Administration Agreement. The Administrator has chosen to voluntarily waive $8.6 and $26.1, respectively, of administration fees earned in accordance with the Administration Agreement for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, which is reflected in the Statement of Operations as a part of Fee Waivers. Any fees waived under the Administration Agreement are not subject to future reimbursement to the Administrator pursuant to the Expense Limitation and Reimbursement Agreement.
Amended and Restated Expense Limitation and Reimbursement Agreement
Effective December 26, 2023, the Investment Adviser and the Administrator entered into an Amended and Restated Expense Limitation and Reimbursement Agreement with the Fund for a two year term beginning on the effective date of the Investment Management Agreement and ending on October 23, 2025 thereof (the “Limitation Period”) to pay, absorb, or reimburse the Fund’s aggregate Operating Expenses (as defined below) on the Fund’s behalf (x) above 1.25% of the value of the Fund’s quarterly net assets as of the beginning of the first calendar day of the applicable quarter adjusted for any share issuances or repurchases during the applicable quarter for the period of time that the Fund operates as a privately offered, non-traded BDC and (y) above 1.25% of the value of the Fund’s monthly net assets as of the beginning of the first calendar day of the applicable month adjusted for any share issuances or repurchases for the applicable month during the period of time that the Fund operates as a publicly- offered, non- traded BDC (each such payment, absorption or reimbursement, a “Required Expense Payment”).
Operating Expenses mean all of the Fund’s operating costs and expenses incurred, including but not limited to, organization and offering costs and legal, administration, accounting, printing, mailing, subscription processing and filings fees and expenses, as
determined in accordance with GAAP. Operating Expenses shall not include any fees payable to the Investment Adviser by the Fund under the Investment Management Agreement, interest expenses and other financing costs, portfolio transaction and other investment-related costs, shareholder servicing and/or distribution fees, taxes, and any other extraordinary expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of the Fund’s business (including, without limitation, litigation expenses).
The Investment Adviser and the Administrator may elect to pay certain additional expenses of the Fund on the Fund’s behalf (each such payment, a “Voluntary Expense Payment” and together with a Required Expense Payment, the “Expense Payments”). In making a Voluntary Expense Payment, the Investment Adviser and the Administrator will designate, as they deem necessary or advisable, what type of expense is being paid (including, whether it is an Operating Expense); provided that no portion of a Voluntary Expense Payment will be used to pay any interest expense or distribution and/or shareholder servicing fees of the Fund.
The Fund agrees to carry forward the amount of any Expense Payment for a period not to exceed three years from the end of the month in which such Expense Payment was paid or reimbursed by the Investment Adviser and the Administrator, and to reimburse the Investment Adviser and the Administrator on a 50/50 basis in the amount of such Expense Payment as promptly as possible, on a monthly basis, even if such reimbursement occurs after the termination of the Limitation Period (each such payment, a “Reimbursement Payment”), provided that the Fund’s operating expense ratio (“Operating Expense Ratio”) (expressed as a percentage of the Fund’s net assets and including the amount of the reimbursed payment) at the time of the reimbursement payment is less than the Fund’s expense ratio (expressed as a percentage of the Fund’s net assets) at the time the Required Expense Payment was made. In respect of a Voluntary Expense Payment, no Reimbursement Payment for any quarter shall be made if and to the extent that: (1) the Effective Rate of Distributions Per Share (expressed as the annualized rate of regular cash distributions per share exclusive of returns of capital and declared special dividends or special distributions, if any) declared by the Fund at the time of such Reimbursement Payment is less than the Effective Rate of Distributions Per Share at the time the Voluntary Payment was made to which such Reimbursement Payment relates or (2) the Fund’s Operating Expense Ratio at the time of such Reimbursement Payment (including the amount of the Reimbursement Payment) is greater than the Operating Expense Ratio at the time of the Voluntary Payment was made.
The contractual expense limitation may be terminated by the Fund’s Board upon thirty (30) days written notice to the Investment Adviser and the Administrator. The Amended and Restated Expense Limitation and Reimbursement Agreement may be renewed by the mutual agreement of the Investment Adviser, the Administrator and the Fund for successive terms of one year. Unless so renewed, the Amended and Restated Expense Limitation and Reimbursement Agreement will terminate automatically at the end of the Limitation Period. The Amended and Restated Expense Limitation and Reimbursement Agreement will also terminate automatically upon the termination of the Investment Management Agreement, unless a new investment advisory agreement with the Investment Adviser (or with an affiliate under common control with the Investment Adviser) becomes effective upon such termination.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Fund was reimbursed $1,423 and $2,178, respectively, by the Investment Adviser and the Administrator. The cumulative reimbursement of $3,346 will expire between September 30, 2026 through June 30, 2027 if not recouped. As of June 30, 2024, the Investment Adviser and the Administrator owed the Fund $1,423 in expense reimbursement, which is reflected in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities under Due from affiliates.
Co-Investment Relief
The 1940 Act generally prohibits BDCs from entering into negotiated co-investments with affiliates absent an order from the SEC. On August 2, 2021, the SEC granted Commonwealth Credit Partners BDC I, Inc., an affiliate of Comvest Partners, an exemptive relief order (the “Order”) that allows it and the Fund to enter into certain negotiated co-investment transactions alongside other funds managed by the Investment Adviser or its affiliates in a manner consistent with its investment objective, positions, policies, strategies, and restrictions as well as regulatory requirements and other pertinent factors, subject to compliance with conditions. Pursuant to the Order, the Fund is permitted to co-invest with its affiliates if, among other things, a “required majority” (as defined in Section 57(o) of the 1940 Act) of the Fund’s independent trustees make certain conclusions in connection with a co-investment transaction, including that (1) the terms of the transactions, including the consideration to be paid, are reasonable and fair to the Fund and the Fund’s shareholders and do not involve overreaching in respect of the Fund or the Fund’s shareholders on the part of any person concerned, and (2) the transaction is consistent with the interests of the Fund’s shareholders and is consistent with the Fund’s investment objective and strategies.

The unrealized appreciation or depreciation associated with unfunded portfolio company commitments is recorded in the consolidated financial statements and reflected as an adjustment to the valuation of the related security in the Consolidated Schedule of Investments as of June 30, 2024 and the Schedule of Investments as of December 31, 2023. The par amount of the unfunded portfolio company commitments is not recognized by the Fund until the commitment is funded.
Unfunded portfolio company commitments may expire without being drawn upon, and therefore, do not necessarily represent future cash requirements or future earning assets for the Fund. The Fund believes that it maintains sufficient liquidity in the form of cash, financing capacity and unfunded capital commitments (“Capital Commitments”) from its investors to cover any outstanding unfunded portfolio company commitments that the Fund may be required to fund.
Litigation and Regulatory Matters
In the ordinary course of its business, the Fund may become subject to litigation, claims, and regulatory matters. The Fund has no knowledge of material legal or regulatory proceedings pending or known to be contemplated against the Fund at this time.
Indemnifications
In the ordinary course of its business, the Fund may enter into contracts or agreements that contain indemnifications or warranties. Future events could occur that lead to the execution of these provisions against the Fund. Management feels that the likelihood of such an event is remote.

The Fund intends to distribute approximately all of its net investment income no less frequently than quarterly and substantially all of its taxable income on an annual basis, except that the Fund may retain certain net capital gains for reinvestment.

Note 10—Subsequent Events
The Fund has evaluated subsequent events through the filing of this Form 10-Q and has determined that no material events or transactions occurred through the issuance date of the Fund's consolidated financial statements which require additional disclosure in or adjustment of the Fund's consolidated financial statements, except:
On July 16, 2024, Subsidiary II entered into a Loan and Servicing Agreement (the “Secured Loan Facility”), with Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation, as administrative agent and the collateral agent and Western Alliance Trust Company, N.A., as account bank, collateral custodian and collateral administrator. The Secured Loan Facility provides for borrowings in U.S. dollars up to a maximum principal amount of $300 million. Proceeds from the borrowings under the Secured Loan Facility will be used primarily to finance the purchase or origination of loans. Unless otherwise terminated, the Secured Loan Facility will mature on July 16, 2029. The interest rate on outstanding loans will be calculated by taking the highest of the Prime Rate, the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50%, the 1-month SOFR rate plus 1.0% or zero, plus a spread of 2.60%. Subsidiary II will pay an upfront fee totaling $3 million, to be paid in installments until March 31, 2025, and an administrative fee of $5 on each payment date and a non-usage fee of 0.50% per annum is charged on the Secured Loan Facility’s undrawn commitment for the first nine (9) months following the closing date. Thereafter, on any date when the undrawn commitment is less than or equal to 50% of the aggregate commitment, the non-usage fee will be 0.50% per annum. On any date when the undrawn commitment is greater than 50% of the aggregate commitment, the non-usage fee will be 1.00% per annum. On July 22, 2024, Subsidiary II borrowed $12.0 million under the Secured Loan Facility, in which the Fund used the proceeds to purchase investments. The interest rate charged on the borrowing was 7.95% at the time of borrowing.
On July 22, 2024, the Fund entered into a participation agreement with Macquarie Bank Limited (the “Participation Agreement”). Pursuant to the Participation Agreement, the Fund transferred an investment of $13.2 million for $12.9 million and repurchased the same investment on a forward settlement basis. The repurchase transaction will have a settlement date of up to 90
days. The repurchase transaction under the Participation Agreement is a type of secured borrowing, which the Fund will retain to the economics of the investment and will pay an effective interest charge of 4.57%.

Overview
The Fund is an externally managed, diversified, closed-end management investment company that has elected to be regulated as a business development company (a “BDC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) and that intends to elect to be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and to qualify annually thereafter, as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). The Fund was formed as Comvest Credit Partners BDC Fund, L.P. on June 28, 2023 as a limited partnership under the laws of the State of Delaware. The Fund changed its name to AMG Comvest Senior Lending Fund on October 23, 2023 and converted to a Delaware statutory trust by operation of law on October 24, 2023. The Fund commenced operations on September 29, 2023 (“Inception Date”) and commenced investment operations on October 18, 2023.
The Fund is managed by the Investment Adviser, a Delaware limited liability company and an affiliate of Comvest Capital Advisors LLC and Comvest Credit Advisors LLC (collectively, “Comvest Partners”). The Investment Adviser is registered with the SEC as an investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (“Advisers Act”). The Investment Adviser oversees the management of the Fund’s activities and is responsible for making investment decisions with respect to the Fund’s portfolio.
Our investment objective is to generate current income and capital appreciation. Our primary focus is to provide risk-adjusted returns and current income to investors by investing primarily in middle-market companies with EBITDA generally between $10 million and $100 million within a wide range of industries, although the Fund intends to focus on industries in which the Investment Adviser and its affiliates have investing experience and access to operating resources, including but not limited to healthcare, financial services, business & technology services, industrials, consumer products, and franchisors/retail.

Portfolio Asset Quality
Our Investment Adviser employs an investment rating system to categorize our investments. In addition to various risk management and monitoring tools, our Investment Adviser grades the credit risk of all debt investments on a scale of 1 to 6 no less frequently than quarterly. This system is intended primarily to reflect the underlying risk of a portfolio debt investment relative to the inherent risk at the time the original debt investment was made (i.e., at the time of acquisition), although it may also take into account under certain circumstances the performance of the portfolio company’s business, the collateral coverage of the investment and other relevant factors.
| | |
Loan Rating | | Summary Description |
1 | | Investments that are performing at or above expectations. No issues or foreseen issues on performance, covenants, liquidity, etc. The credit is expected to be repaid at maturity through available cash flow or to be refinanced. |
| | |
2 | | Investments that are performing substantially within our expectations, with the risks remaining neutral or favorable. All new loans are initially rated 2. The credit is expected to be repaid at maturity through available cash flow or to be refinanced by a third party. |
| | |
3 | | Investments that are performing below our expectations and that require closer monitoring, but where we expect no loss of investment return or principal. |
| | |
4 | | Investments that are performing below our expectations and for which risk has increased materially since the original investment. There is a probability of some loss of investment return, but no loss of principal is expected. |
| | |
5 | | Investments that are performing substantially below our expectations and whose risks have increased substantially since the original investment. Typically, the borrower will be in default, or the loan will have been modified to address a default. |
| | |
6 | | Investments that are performing poorly; it is unlikely that the enterprise or asset values currently exceed the debt and/or material reduction in enterprise value is reasonably foreseen. |

Recent Developments
Recent Accounting Standards Update
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280), which improves reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Fund does not expect this guidance to impact its consolidated financial statements.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We generate cash from (1) drawing down capital in respect of Shares, (2) cash flows from investments and operations and (3) borrowings from banks or other lenders.
Our primary use of cash is to originate (1) investments in portfolio companies and other investments to comply with certain portfolio diversification requirements, (2) the cost of operations (including expenses, the Management Fee and, to the extent permitted under
ERISA, if applicable, and the 1940 Act, any indemnification obligations), (3) debt service of any borrowings and (4) cash distributions to our shareholders.
Operating liquidity is our ability to meet our short-term liquidity needs. The following table presents our operating liquidity position as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 (dollars in thousands):
| | | | | | | | |
| | As of | |

Total operational liquidity | | $ | 2,193 | | | $ | 5,665 | |
Taxation as a RIC
We intend to elect to be treated as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code. As a RIC, we generally will not be subject to corporate-level U.S. federal income taxes on any income that we distribute as dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes to our shareholders. To maintain our qualification as a RIC, we must, among other things, meet certain source-of-income and asset diversification requirements. In addition, in order to maintain RIC tax treatment, we must distribute to our shareholders, for each tax year, an amount equal to at least 90% of our “investment company taxable income,” which is generally our net ordinary income plus the excess, if any, of realized net short-term capital gain over realized net long-term capital loss and determined without regard to any deduction for dividends paid. We will be subject to U.S. federal income tax at the regular corporate rates on any income or capital gains not distributed (or deemed distributed) to our shareholders. If we fail to qualify as a RIC, we will be subject to U.S. federal income tax at the regular corporate rates on our income and capital gains.
Additionally, in order to avoid the imposition of a U.S. federal excise tax, we are required to distribute, in respect of each calendar year, dividends to our shareholders of an amount at least equal to the sum of 98% of our calendar year net ordinary income (taking into account certain deferrals and elections); 98.2% of our capital gain net income (adjusted for certain ordinary losses) for the one year period ending on October 31 of such calendar year; and any net ordinary income and capital gain net income for preceding calendar years that were not distributed during such calendar years and on which we previously did not incur any U.S. federal income tax. If we fail to qualify as a RIC for any reason and become subject to corporate tax, the resulting corporate taxes could substantially reduce our net assets, the amount of income available for distribution and the amount of our distributions.
Related Party Transactions and Agreements
Investment Management Agreement
We entered into an Investment Management Agreement, dated as of October 20, 2023, which was approved by our Board for an initial two year term, under which the Investment Adviser, subject to the overall supervision of our Board manages the day-to-day operations of, and provides investment advisory services to us. Affiliates of the Investment Adviser also provide investment advisory services to other funds that have investment mandates that are similar, in whole and in part, with ours. The Investment Adviser has adopted policies designed to manage and mitigate the conflicts of interest associated with the allocation of investment opportunities among multiple funds. In addition, any affiliated fund currently formed or formed in the future and managed by the Investment Adviser or its affiliates may have overlapping investment objectives with our own and, accordingly, may invest in asset classes similar to those targeted by us. However, in certain instances due to regulatory, tax, investment, or other restrictions, certain investment opportunities may not be appropriate for either us or other funds managed by the Investment Adviser or its affiliates.
Administration Agreement
On October 20, 2023, we entered into an Administration Agreement with AMG Funds LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly owned subsidiary of AMG (the “Administrator”). Under the terms of the Administration Agreement, the Administrator provides, or oversees the performance of, administrative and compliance services necessary for the operation of the Fund, including, but not limited to, maintaining financial records, overseeing the calculation of NAV, compliance monitoring (including diligence and oversight of the Fund’s other service providers), preparing reports to shareholders and reports filed with the SEC and other regulators, preparing materials and coordinating meetings of the Fund’s Board, managing the payment of expenses, the payment and receipt of funds for investments and the performance of administrative and professional services rendered by others and providing office space, equipment and office services. The Administrator may also provide on our behalf managerial assistance to our portfolio companies.
The Administrator has retained the Sub-Administrator to perform some of its obligations under the Administration Agreement. The Sub-Administrator receives compensation for its sub-administrative services under the Sub-Administration Agreement. In addition, we have entered into the Fund Accounting Servicing Agreement, pursuant to which the Sub-Administrator provides us with accounting
services. We will reimburse the Sub-Administrator for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Sub-Administrator in providing these services under the Fund Accounting Servicing Agreement.
Distributions and Dividends
Distributions declared for the three and six months ending June 30, 2024, totaled $1,028 and $1,622, respectively.
The following table reflects cash distributions, including dividends and returns of capital, if any, per share that have been declared by our Board as of June 30, 2024 and as of our most recent fiscal period ended December 31, 2023:
| | | | | | | | |
Date Declared | | Record Date | | Payment Date | | Per Share Amount | |
March 27, 2024 | | March 27, 2024 | | March 28, 2024 | | $ | 0.54 | |

December 28, 2023 | | December 28, 2023 | | December 29, 2023 | | $ | 0.55 | |
We intend to pay quarterly distributions to our shareholders in amounts sufficient to qualify as and maintain our status as a RIC. We intend to distribute approximately all of our net investment income no less frequently than quarterly and substantially all of our taxable income on an annual basis, except that we may retain certain net capital gains for reinvestment.
Borrowings
We are only allowed to borrow money such that our asset coverage, which, as defined in the 1940 Act, measures the ratio of total assets less total liabilities not represented by senior securities to total borrowings, equals at least 150% after such borrowing, with certain limited exceptions. The Fund had no borrowings as of June 30, 2024 and did not borrow money for the three months ended June 30, 2024. We may in the future, though, determine to utilize a greater amount of leverage, including for investment purposes.
Contractual Obligations
As of June 30, 2024, we have entered into an Investment Management Agreement with the Investment Adviser pursuant to the 1940 Act to provide us with investment advisory services and the Administration Agreement with the Administrator to provide us with administrative services. Payments for investment advisory services under the Advisory Agreement are described under Item 1. Financial Statements – Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – Note 4. Related Party Transactions. Payments for administration services under the Administration Agreement are described under Item 1. Financial Statements –Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – Note 4. Related Party Transactions.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of June 30, 2024, we have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, or capital resources.
Commitments
In the ordinary course of business, we may enter into future funding commitments. As of June 30, 2024, we had unfunded commitments on revolving credit lines and delayed draw term loans of $13,710. We maintain sufficient financial resources to satisfy unfunded commitments, including cash on hand and undrawn Capital Commitments from our investors. Please refer to Note 5—Commitments and Contingencies in the notes to our consolidated financial statements for further detail of these unfunded commitments.
Significant Accounting Estimates and Critical Accounting Policies
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with 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 revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an on-going basis, we will evaluate our estimates, including those related to the matters described below. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
While our significant accounting policies are also described in Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of the notes to our consolidated financial statements appearing elsewhere in this report, we believe the following accounting policy, Valuation of Portfolio Investments, requires the most significant judgment in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements because it
involves judgments and assumptions about highly complex and inherently uncertain matters. In addition, the impact of reasonably different estimates and assumptions could have a greater impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Valuation of Portfolio Investments
The Investment Adviser applies fair value accounting in accordance with GAAP and the Valuation Policy. Fair value is the amount 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. Investments are reflected on the Fund’s Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities at fair value, with changes in unrealized gains and losses resulting from changes in fair value reflected in the Fund’s Consolidated Statement of Operations as “Net change in unrealized gains (losses) of investments”.
The Investment Adviser values the Fund’s portfolio investments in accordance with the Valuation Policy and the 1940 Act. For purposes of the 1940 Act, the Board has designated the Investment Adviser as the Fund’s Valuation Designee. The Board provides oversight of the Investment Adviser’s fair value determinations of the Fund’s portfolio investments on a quarterly basis in good faith, including investments that are not publicly traded and those whose market prices are not readily available.
One or more independent valuation firms (each a “Valuation Agent”) are engaged to independently value our investments, in consultation with the Investment Adviser. Our quarterly valuation procedures, which are the procedures that are followed by such Valuation Agent are set forth in more detail below:
1) Investments for which market quotations are readily available on an exchange are valued at such market quotations based on the closing price indicated from independent pricing services.
2) Investments for which indicative prices are obtained from various pricing services and/or brokers or dealers are valued through a multi- step valuation process, as described below, to determine whether the quote(s) obtained is representative of fair value in accordance with GAAP.
a) Bond quotes are obtained through independent pricing services. Internal reviews are performed by the personnel of the Valuation Agent, in consultation with the investment professionals of the Investment Adviser, and/or the Investment Adviser to ensure that the quote obtained is representative of fair value in accordance with GAAP and if so, the quote is used. In the event the Investment Adviser, with the assistance of the Valuation Agent, determines that the bonds quotes are not readily available or otherwise not determinable pursuant to the Fund’s valuation procedures, or not reliable, the investment is valued similarly to those assets with no readily available quotes (see (3) below); and
b) For investments other than bonds, the personnel of the Valuation Agent, in consultation with the investment professionals of the Investment Adviser, and/or the Investment Adviser, look at the number of quotes readily available and perform the following:
i) Investments for which two or more quotes are received from a pricing service are valued using the mean of the mean of the bid and ask of the quotes obtained. If quotes from pricing services differ by +/- five points or if the spread between the bid and ask for a quote is greater than 10 points, the personnel of the Valuation Agent, in consultation with the investment professionals of the Investment Adviser, will evaluate the reasonableness of the quote, and if the quote is determined to not be representative of fair value, the personnel of the Valuation Agent, in consultation with the investment professionals of the Investment Adviser, will use one or more of the methodologies outlined below to determine fair value;
ii) Investments for which one quote is received from a pricing service are validated by the Valuation Agent, in consultation with the investment professionals of the Investment Adviser, and/or the Investment Adviser. The personnel of the Valuation Agent, in consultation with the investment professionals of the Investment Adviser, and/or the Investment Adviser, analyze the market quotes obtained using an array of valuation methods (further described below) to validate the fair value. For assets where a supporting analysis is prepared, the Valuation Agent will document the selection and appropriateness of the indices selected for yield comparison and a conclusion documenting how the yield comparison analysis supports the proposed mark. The quarterly portfolio company monitoring reports which detail the qualitative and quantitative performance of the portfolio company will also be included. If the Valuation Agent, in consultation with the investment professionals of the Investment Adviser, and/or the Investment Adviser, are unable to sufficiently validate the quote internally and if the investment’s par value exceeds a certain materiality threshold, the investment is valued similarly to those assets with no readily available quotes (see (3) below).
3) Investments for which quotations are not readily available through exchanges, pricing services, brokers, or dealers are valued through a multi- step valuation process:
a) Each portfolio company or investment is initially valued by the personnel of the Valuation Agent, in consultation with the investment professionals of the Investment Adviser;
b) The Valuation Agent undertakes a comprehensive valuation analysis, which includes an enterprise and/or collateral valuation, and subsequently a fundamental credit analysis and valuation with respect to both credit quality and market factors, for each of the portfolio companies or investments and provides a range of values on such investments to the Investment Adviser. The Valuation Agent also provides analyses to support its valuation methodology and calculations;
c) The Investment Adviser then reviews each valuation recommendation to confirm they have been calculated in accordance with the Valuation Policy;
d) The Investment Adviser determines the fair value of each investment in the portfolio in good faith based on the input of the Investment Adviser’s valuation team and, where applicable, the Valuation Agent or other external service providers; and
e) The Board provides oversight of the valuation process in accordance with Rule 2a-5, which includes a review of the quarterly reports prepared by the Investment Adviser or the Valuation Agent and the fair valuation determinations made by the Investment Adviser.
For investments in revolving credit facilities and delayed draw commitments, the cost basis of the funded investments purchased is offset by any costs/netbacks received for any unfunded portion on the total balance committed. The fair value is also adjusted for the price appreciation or depreciation on the unfunded portion. As a result, the purchase of commitments not completely funded may result in a negative fair value until it is called and funded.
The values assigned to investments are based upon available information and do not necessarily represent amounts which might ultimately be realized, since such amounts depend on future circumstances and cannot be reasonably determined until the individual positions are liquidated. Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of investments that do not have a readily available market value, the fair value of the Fund’s investments may fluctuate from period to period and the fluctuations could be material.
Revenue Recognition
Interest Income
Interest income, adjusted for amortization of premium and accretion of discount, is recorded on an accrual basis. Discount and premium on investments purchased are accreted/amortized over the expected life of the respective investment using the effective interest method. Loan origination fees, original issue discount (“OID”) and market discounts or premiums are capitalized and amortized into interest income using the effective interest method. Upon prepayment of a loan or debt security, any prepayment premiums, unamortized upfront loan origination fees and unamortized discounts are recorded as interest income. The Fund may have loans in its portfolio that contain a payment-in-kind (“PIK” interest provision). PIK interest is accrued and recorded as income at the contractual rates, if deemed collectible. The PIK interest is added to the principal balance on the capitalization date and is generally due at maturity or when deemed by the issuer.
Fee Income
Fee income, such as structuring fees, loan monitoring, amendment, syndication, commitment, termination, and other loan fees are recognized as income when earned, either upon receipt or amortized into fee income. Upon the re-payment of a loan or debt security, any prepayment penalties and unamortized loan fees are recorded as fee income.
Non-accrual
Investments may be placed on non-accrual status when principal or interest payments are past due and/or when there is reasonable doubt that principal or interest will be collected. Accrued interest is generally reversed when an investment is placed on non-accrual status. Interest payments received on non-accrual investments may be recognized as income or applied to principal depending upon management’s judgment of the ultimate outcome. Non-accrual investments are restored to accrual status when past due principal and interest is paid and, in management’s judgment, are likely to remain current.
Net Realized Gain or Loss and Net Change in Unrealized Gain or Loss
Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Gain or loss on the sale of investments is calculated using the specific identification method. Net change in unrealized gain or loss will reflect the change in portfolio investment values during the reporting period, including any reversal of previously recorded unrealized gain or loss, when a gain or loss is realized.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
We are subject to certain financial market risks, such as interest rate fluctuations. Because we fund a portion of our investments with borrowings, our net investment income is affected by the difference between the rate at which we invest and the rate at which we borrow. As a result, there can be no assurance that a significant change in market interest rates will not have a material adverse effect on our net investment income. The U.S. Federal Reserve and other central banks have raised interest rates multiple times in recent years. As a result, key base interest rates, such as Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”), may fluctuate over time. As of June 30, 2024, 99% of investments at fair value represent floating-rate investments with a reference rate floor and none of our debt investments at fair value represent fixed-rate investments.
Because we may borrow money to make investments, our net investment income may be dependent on the difference between the rate at which we borrow funds and the rate at which we invest these funds. In periods of increasing interest rates, our cost of funds would increase, which may reduce our net investment income. As a result, there can be no assurance that a significant change in market interest rates will not have a material adverse effect on our net investment income.
We regularly measure our exposure to interest rate risk. We assess interest rate risk and manage our interest rate exposure on an ongoing basis by comparing our interest rate sensitive assets to our interest rate sensitive liabilities. Generally, we believe higher yielding assets such as those in our investment portfolio do not necessarily follow a linear interest rate relationship and are less sensitive in price to interest rate changes than many other debt investments. Consequently, our net interest income (interest income less interest expense) is exposed to risks related to interest rate fluctuations.
Assuming that the interim and unaudited Statements of Assets and Liabilities as of June 30, 2024, was to remain constant and that we took no actions to alter our interest rate sensitivity as of such date, the following table shows the annualized impact of hypothetical base rate changes in interest rates. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimated in the table.
| | | | |
Change in Interest Rates | | Net Increase (Decrease) in Net Investment Income (in thousands) | |
Down 100 basis points | | $ | (676 | ) |
Down 200 basis points | | | (1,352 | ) |
Up 100 basis points | | | 676 | |
Up 200 basis points | | | 1,352 | |
Up 300 basis points | | | 2,028 | |
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As required by Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) we evaluated, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of June 30, 2024. Based on the foregoing evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of June 30, 2024, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to accomplish their objectives at the reasonable assurance level that we would meet our disclosure obligations.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Management has not identified any changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
We are not currently subject to any material legal proceedings, nor, to our knowledge, is any material legal proceeding threatened against us. From time to time, we may be a party to certain legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business, including proceedings relating to the enforcement of our rights under loans to or other contracts with our portfolio companies. While the outcome of these legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, we do not expect that these proceedings will have a material effect upon our financial statements.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.
In addition to the other information set forth in this Report, you should carefully consider the factors previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period from the Inception Date to December 31, 2023, which could materially affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results. The risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K are not the only risks facing us. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial may materially affect our business, our structure, our financial condition, our investments and/or operating results. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, there have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period from the Inception Date to December 31, 2023.
ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS.
The Fund did not make any sales of unregistered securities during the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2024 that were not previously disclosed in a current report on Form 8-K.
ITEM 3. DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES.
None.
ITEM 4. MINE SAFETY DISCLOSURES.
