ORGANIZATION

 

CPG Carlyle Commitments Fund, LLC (the “Fund”) was organized as a Delaware limited liability company on October 23, 2012. The Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) as a closed-end, non-diversified management investment company. The Fund commenced operations on June 1, 2013. The Fund’s investment objective is to seek attractive long-term capital appreciation. In pursuing its investment objective, the Fund intends to invest substantially all of its assets in the limited liability company interests (“Interests”) in CPG Carlyle Commitments Master Fund, LLC (the “Master Fund”), a limited liability company organized under the laws of the State of Delaware, which is also registered under the 1940 Act. The Master Fund expects to invest predominantly (under normal circumstances, generally at least 80% of its assets) in the multiple alternative investment funds (“Investment Funds”), co-investments and direct investments sponsored by, or affiliated with The Carlyle Group L.P. and its affiliates with an emphasis on private equity funds as more fully described in the Fund’s Confidential Memorandum as amended and restated or supplemented from time to time. Investments in Investment Funds are made in the form of capital commitments, which are called by Investment Funds over time. The Fund’s private equity investments, therefore, generally will consist of both funded and unfunded commitments; however, only funded private equity commitments are reflected in the Fund’s net asset value. The Fund’s and Master Fund’s investment adviser is Central Park Advisers, LLC (the “Adviser”), a Delaware limited liability company registered under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended.

 

Subject to the requirements of the 1940 Act, the business and affairs of the Fund shall be managed under the direction of the Fund’s Board of Directors (the “Board,” with an individual member referred to as a “Director”). The Board shall have the right, power and authority, on behalf of the Fund and in its name, to do all things necessary and proper to carry out its duties under the Fund’s Limited Liability Company Agreement, as amended and restated from time to time. Each Director shall be vested with the same powers, authority and responsibilities on behalf of the Fund as are customarily vested in each director of a Delaware corporation, and each Director who is not an “interested person” (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the Fund shall be vested with the same powers, authority and responsibilities on behalf of the Fund as are customarily vested in each director of a closed-end management investment company registered under the 1940 Act that is organized as a Delaware corporation who is not an “interested person” of such company. No Director shall have the authority individually to act on behalf of or to bind the Fund except within the scope of such Director’s authority as delegated by the Board. The Board may delegate the management of the Fund’s day-to-day operations to one or more officers or other persons (including, without limitation, the Adviser), subject to the investment objective and policies of the Fund and to the oversight of the Board. The Directors have engaged the Adviser to be responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund.

 

As of September 30, 2019, the Fund owned 100.00% of the Interests in the Master Fund with the Adviser owning an amount which rounded to 0.00%.

 

The Fund’s term is perpetual unless it is otherwise dissolved under the terms of its formation documents.

 

The Fund offers two classes of units of beneficial interest (“Units”), Class A Units and Class I Units, which differ in their respective sales load (the “Placement Fee”) and Sub-Placement Agent Fee (as defined below). Each class of Units may be purchased as of the first business day of each calendar month based upon their respective then-current net asset values. Class A Unit investors may be charged a Placement Fee up to a maximum of 3.50% on the amount they invest. No placement fee will be charged on purchases of Class I Units. Class A Units are subject to an ongoing fee for distribution services and related sales support services (the “Sub-Placement Agent Fee”) at an annualized rate of 0.60% of the aggregate net assets of the Fund attributable to Class A Units. Class I Units are not subject to the Sub-Placement Agent Fee.

 

The Fund’s financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Master Fund’s financial statements, which are included as Appendix A.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

The Fund meets the definition of an investment company and follows the accounting and reporting guidance as issued through Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies.

 

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. These policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).

 

Federal Tax Information: It is the Fund’s policy to qualify as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). The Fund’s policy is to comply with the provisions of the Code applicable to RICs and to distribute annually to its investors substantially all of its net investment income and net realized gain on investments, if any, earned each year. In addition, the Fund intends to distribute sufficient income and gains each year so as to not be subject to U.S. Federal excise tax on certain undistributed amounts. Accordingly, no provision for federal income or excise tax has been recorded in these financial statements.

 

The Fund has adopted a tax year end of September 30 (“Tax Year”). As such, the Fund’s tax basis capital gains and losses will only be determined at the end of each Tax Year. Accordingly, tax basis distributions made during the 12 month period ended March 31, 2020, but after the Tax Year ended September 30, 2019, will be reflected in the financial statement footnotes for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020.

 

Management evaluates the tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Fund’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions will “more-likely-than-not” be sustained upon examination by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold that would result in a tax benefit or expense to the Fund would be recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Tax Years 2019, 2018 and 2017 remain subject to examination by the U.S. taxing authorities. The Fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Statement of Operations. For the period ended September 30, 2019, the Fund did not incur any interest or penalties.

 

The character of distributions made during the year from net investment income or net realized gain may differ from the characterization for federal income tax purposes due to differences in the recognition of income, expense and gains or loss items for financial statement and tax purposes. Where appropriate, reclassifications between net asset accounts are made for such differences that are permanent in nature.

 

There were no distributions paid for the period ended September 30, 2019.

 

Cash: Cash consists of monies held at UMB Bank, N.A. (the “Custodian”). Such cash may exceed federally insured limits. The Fund has not experienced any losses in such accounts and does not believe it is exposed to any significant credit risk on such accounts. There are no restrictions on the cash held by the Fund.

 

Allocations from the Master Fund: In accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Fund, as the holder of Interests in the Master Fund, records in its financial statements its allocated portion of income, expense, realized gains and losses and unrealized appreciation and depreciation in the Master Fund.

 

Investment Transactions: Expenses that are specifically attributed to the Fund are accrued and charged to the Fund. Although the Fund bears its proportionate share of the management fees paid by the Master Fund, the Fund pays no direct management fee to the Adviser.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

Dividends and distributions to unit holders: Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid annually. Net realized capital gains, if any, are declared and distributed annually. The Fund records dividends and distributions to its unit holders on ex-dividend date. Dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized gains are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP. These “book/tax” differences are considered either temporary (e.g., deferred losses, capital loss carry forwards) or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the composition of net assets based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification. Any such reclassifications will have no effect on net assets, results of operations, or net asset value per Unit of the Fund.

 

Multiple Classes of Units: All Investors bear the common expenses of the Fund. Dividends are declared separately for each class. Income, non-class specific expenses and realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated monthly to each class of Units based on the value of total Units outstanding of each class, without distinction between Unit classes. Expenses attributable to a particular class of Units, such as Sub-Placement Agent Fee, are allocated directly to that class.

 

Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Investment in the Master Fund: The Fund records its investment in the Master Fund at fair value, which is represented by the Fund’s Units held in the Master Fund valued at the per unit net asset value.

 

FASB Accounting Standards Codification™, Fair Value Measurement (“ASC 820”) provides a single definition of fair value and expanded disclosures about fair value measurements.

 

Valuation of investment funds held by the Master Fund is discussed in the notes to the Master Fund’s consolidated financial statements. The performance of the Fund is directly affected by the performance of the Master Fund. The consolidated financial statements of the Master Fund, which are attached, are an integral part of these financial statements. Refer to the accounting policies disclosed in the consolidated financial statements of the Master Fund for additional information regarding significant accounting policies that affect the Fund.

 

3. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS AND OTHER

 

Pursuant to a license agreement between Carlyle Investment Management, L.L.C. and the Adviser (the “License Agreement”), the Adviser is permitted to use the mark “Carlyle” in connection with the offering, marketing, promotion, management and operation of the Fund. The Adviser believes that the Fund has benefitted and will continue to benefit from the License Agreement, in accordance with its terms. Nonetheless the Adviser will not seek reimbursement or payment from the Fund for any amounts thereunder.

 

Effective January 1, 2019, each member of the Board who is not an “interested person” of the Fund (the “Independent Directors”), as defined by the 1940 Act, receives an annual retainer of $15,000 (prorated for partial years) plus a fee of $1,000 for each meeting attended and $500 for each meeting by phone. The Board Chair, Audit Committee Chair, Nominating Committee Chair and Contracts Review Committee Chair each receive an additional $2,000 annual retainer. All members of the Board are reimbursed for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses. Total amounts expensed by the Fund related to Independent Directors for the period ended September 30, 2019 were $41,646, which is included in Directors’ and Officer fees in the Statement of Operations.

 

During the period ended September 30, 2019, the Fund incurred a portion of the annual compensation of the Fund’s Chief Compliance Officer in the amount of $19,265 which is included in the Directors’ and Officer fees in the Statement of Operations.

 

Certain officers and the interested directors of the Fund are also Officers of the Adviser and are registered representatives of Foreside Fund Services, LLC.

4. ADMINISTRATION, CUSTODIAN FEES AND DISTRIBUTION

 

ALPS Fund Services, Inc. serves as administrator (the “Administrator”) to the Fund and provides certain accounting, administrative, record keeping and investor related services. Prior to July 20, 2019, UMB Fund Services, Inc. served as administrator to the Master Fund. For its services, the Fund pays an annual fee to the Administrator based upon average net assets, subject to certain minimums. For the period ended September 30, 2019, the total administration fees were $17,842 which is included as accounting and administration fees in the Statement of Operations, all of which was payable and is included as accounting and administration fees payable in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities at September 30, 2019.

 

Foreside Fund Services, LLC (the “Placement Agent”) acts as the placement agent of the Fund’s Units. Under the terms of the Placement Agent Agreement, the Placement Agent is authorized to retain sub-placement agents for distribution services and to provide related sales support services to Investors. The Fund pays a quarterly Sub-Placement Agent Fee out of the net assets of Class A Units at the annual rate of 0.60% of the net asset value of Class A Units, determined and accrued as of the last day of each calendar month (before any repurchases of Class A Units). The Sub-Placement Agent Fee is charged on an aggregate class-wide basis, and Investors in Class A Units will be subject to the Sub-Placement Agent Fee regardless of how long they have held their Class A Units. The Sub-Placement Agent Fee is paid to the Placement Agent to reimburse it for payments made to sub-placement agents. Payment of the Sub-Placement Agent Fee is governed by the Fund’s Distribution Plan, which was adopted by the Fund, pursuant to the conditions of the exemptive order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), with respect to Class A Units in compliance with Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. For the period ended September 30, 2019, the total Sub-Placement Agent Fee was $2,190,142, of which $1,083,436 was payable at September 30, 2019.

 

5. REPURCHASE OF UNITS

 

Investors do not have the right to require the Fund to redeem their Units. To provide a limited degree of liquidity to Investors, the Fund may, from time to time, offer to repurchase Units pursuant to written tenders by Investors. Repurchases will be made at such times, in such amounts and on such terms as may be determined by the Board, in its sole discretion. In determining whether the Fund should offer to repurchase Units, the Board will consider the recommendations of the Adviser as to the timing of such an offer, as well as a variety of operational, business and economic factors. The Adviser anticipates that it will recommend to the Board that the Fund offer to repurchase Units from Investors on a quarterly basis, with such repurchases to occur as of the last day of March, June, September and December (or, if any such date is not a business day, on the immediately preceding business day). The Adviser also expects that, generally, it will recommend to the Board that each repurchase offer should apply to up to 5% of the net assets of the Fund. Each repurchase offer will generally commence approximately 100 days prior to the applicable repurchase date. Since all or substantially all of the Fund’s assets will be invested in the Master Fund, the Fund does not expect to conduct a repurchase offer of Units unless the Master Fund contemporaneously conducts a repurchase offer of its Interests.

 

A 2.00% early repurchase fee will be charged by the Fund with respect to any repurchase of Units from an Investor at any time prior to the day immediately preceding the first anniversary of the Investor’s purchase of such Units. Such repurchase fee will be retained by the Fund and will benefit the Fund’s remaining investors.

 

6. INDEMNIFICATION

 

Under the Fund’s organizational documents, its officers and Directors are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. In addition, in the ordinary course of business, the Fund may enter into contracts or agreements that contain indemnification or warranties. 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, based on experience, the Fund expects the risk of loss to be remote.

ORGANIZATION

 

CPG Carlyle Commitments Master Fund, LLC (the “Master Fund”) was organized as a Delaware limited liability company on October 23, 2012. The Master Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as a closed-end, non-diversified management investment company. The Master Fund commenced operations on June 1, 2013. CPG TCG Acquisition Fund, LLC (“CPG TCG”), a wholly owned entity, is consolidated in the Master Fund’s financial statements. The Master Fund’s investment adviser is Central Park Advisers, LLC (the “Adviser”), a Delaware limited liability company registered under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended. The Master Fund’s investment objective is to seek attractive long-term capital appreciation. The Master Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing predominantly (under normal circumstances, generally at least 80% of its assets) in the multiple alternative investment funds (“Investment Funds”), co-investments (“Co-Investments”), and direct investments (“Direct Investments”) sponsored by, or affiliated with, The Carlyle Group L.P. and its affiliates (“Carlyle”), with an emphasis on private equity funds. Investments in Investment Funds are made in the form of capital commitments, which are called by Investment Funds over time. The Fund’s private equity investments, therefore, generally will consist of both funded and unfunded commitments; however, only funded private equity commitments are reflected in the Fund’s net asset value.

 

Subject to the requirements of the 1940 Act, the business and affairs of the Master Fund shall be managed under the direction of the Master Fund’s Board of Directors (the “Board,” with an individual member referred to as a “Director”). The Board shall have the right, power and authority, on behalf of the Master Fund and in its name, to do all things necessary and proper to carry out its duties under the Master Fund’s Limited Liability Company Agreement (the “LLC Agreement”), as amended and restated from time to time. Each Director shall be vested with the same powers, authority and responsibilities on behalf of the Master Fund as are customarily vested in each director of a Delaware corporation, and each Director who is not an “interested person” (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the Master Fund shall be vested with the same powers, authority and responsibilities on behalf of the Master Fund as are customarily vested in each director of a closed-end management investment company registered under the 1940 Act that is organized as a Delaware corporation who is not an “interested person” of such company. No Director shall have the authority individually to act on behalf of or to bind the Master Fund except within the scope of such Director’s authority as delegated by the Board. The Board may delegate the management of the Master Fund’s day-to-day operations to one or more officers or other persons (including, without limitation, the Adviser), subject to the investment objective and policies of the Master Fund and to the oversight of the Board. The Directors have engaged the Adviser to provide investment advice regarding the selection of Investment Funds and to be responsible for the day-to-day management of the Master Fund.

 

The Master Fund is a master investment portfolio in a master-feeder structure. CPG Carlyle Commitments Fund, LLC (the “Feeder Fund”) invests substantially all of its assets in the limited liability company interests (“Interests”) of the Master Fund. As of September 30, 2019, the Feeder Fund owns 100.00% of the Master Fund’s Interests with the Adviser owning an amount which rounded to 0.00%.

 

Investors generally may purchase units of beneficial interest of the Feeder Fund as of the first business day of each calendar month. Purchase proceeds do not represent the Master Fund’s capital or become the Master Fund’s assets until the first business day of the relevant calendar month.

 

The Master Fund’s term is perpetual unless it is otherwise dissolved under the terms of its formation documents.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

The Master Fund meets the definition of an investment company and follows the accounting and reporting guidance as issued through the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies.

 

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Master Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. These policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

Federal Tax Information: It is the Master Fund’s policy to be classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Each investor in the Master Fund is treated as the owner of its allocated share of the net assets, income, expenses and the realized and unrealized gains or losses of the Master Fund. The Master Fund is expected to incur taxable income upon realization of some of its investments. For the period ended September 30, 2019, the total income tax benefit of $42,754 is included in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. As of September 30, 2019, the Master Fund does not have a deferred tax liability included in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. No other U.S. federal, state or local income taxes are paid by the Master Fund on the income or gains of the Master Fund since the investors are individually liable for the taxes on their allocated share of such income or gains of the Master Fund.

 

The Master Fund has adopted a tax-year end of September 30. The Master Fund files tax returns as prescribed by the tax laws of the jurisdictions in which it operates. In the normal course of business, the Master Fund is subject to examination by U.S. federal, state, local and foreign jurisdictions, where applicable. As of September 30, 2019, the tax years from the year 2016 forward remain subject to examination by the major tax jurisdictions under the statute of limitations.

 

Management evaluates the tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Master Fund’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions will “more-likely-than-not” be sustained upon examination by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold that would result in a tax benefit or expense to the Master Fund would be recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. The Master Fund has not recognized any tax liability for unrecognized tax benefits or expenses. The Master Fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. During the period ended September 30, 2019, the Master Fund did not incur any interest or penalties.

 

Cash: Cash consists of monies held at UMB Bank, N.A. (the “Custodian”). Such cash may exceed federally insured limits. The Master Fund has not experienced any losses in such accounts and does not believe it is exposed to any significant credit risk on such accounts. There are no restrictions on the cash held by the Master Fund.

 

Short-Term Investments: Short-term investments represent investments in high quality money market instruments and money market mutual funds, and are recorded at net asset value per share which approximates fair value. Money market instruments are high quality, short-term fixed-income obligations, which generally have remaining maturities of one year or less and may include U.S. Government securities, commercial paper, certificates of deposit and bankers acceptances issued by domestic branches of U.S. banks that are members of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, and repurchase agreements.

 

Investment Transactions: The Master Fund accounts for realized gains and losses from its Investment Funds based upon the pro-rata ratio of the fair value and cost of the underlying investments at the date of redemption. Dividend and interest income and expenses are recorded on the accrual basis. Distributions from Investment Funds will be received as underlying investments of the Investment Funds are liquidated. Distributions from Investment Funds occur at irregular intervals, and the exact timing of distributions from the Investment Funds has not been communicated from the Investment Funds. It is estimated that distributions will occur over the life of the Investment Funds.

 

Foreign Currency: Investments and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of investments and income and expense items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. The Master Fund does not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. Reported net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Master Fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments at period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Consolidation of Subsidiary: The consolidated financial statements include the financial position and the results of operations of the Master Fund and its wholly owned subsidiary, CPG TCG, a Delaware limited liability company. The wholly owned subsidiary has the same investment objective as the Fund. CPG TCG is used when the Master Fund has determined that owning certain investment funds within a domestic limited partnership structure would not be beneficial. As of September 30, 2019 the total value of investment held in the subsidiary is $8,718,733, or approximately 0.78% of the Fund’s net assets.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments: The fair value of the Master Fund’s assets and liabilities which qualify as financial instruments approximates the carrying amounts presented in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The Master Fund values its investments in investment funds at fair value in accordance with FASB ASC, Fair Value Measurement (“ASC 820”). See Note 3 for more information.

 

3.

PORTFOLIO VALUATION

 

ASC 820 defines fair value as the value that the Fund would receive to sell an investment or pay to transfer a liability in a timely transaction with an independent buyer in the principal market, or in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market for the investment or liability. ASC 820 establishes a three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability. Inputs may be observable or unobservable and refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Master Fund. Unobservable inputs reflect the Master Fund’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. Each investment is assigned a level based upon the observation of the inputs which are significant to the overall valuation.

 

The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized below:

 

 

Level 1 — unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical financial instruments that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.

 

 

Level 2 — inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the financial instrument, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs also include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active.

 

 

Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs for the financial instrument (including management’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).

 

Investments in Investment Funds are recorded at fair value, using the Investment Funds’ net asset value as a “practical expedient,” in accordance with ASC 820.

 

The private equity Investment Funds generally are restricted securities that are subject to substantial holding periods and are not traded in public markets, so that the Master Fund may not be able to resell some of its investments for extended periods, which may be several years. The types of private equity Investment Funds that the Master Fund may make include primary, secondary and Co-Investments. Co-Investments represent opportunities to invest in specific portfolio companies that are typically made alongside an Investment Fund. Primary investments are investments in newly established private equity funds. Secondary investments are investments in existing private equity funds that are acquired in privately negotiated transactions.

PORTFOLIO VALUATION (continued)

 

The Net Asset Value (“NAV”) of the Master Fund is determined by, or at the direction of, the Adviser as of the close of business at the end of any fiscal period in accordance with the valuation principles set forth below and as may be determined, from time to time, pursuant to policies established by the Board. The Master Fund’s investments are subject to the terms and conditions of the respective operating agreements and offering memorandums, as appropriate. The Master Fund’s Valuation Committee (the “Committee”) oversees the valuation process of the Master Fund’s investments. The Committee meets on a monthly basis and reports to the Board on a quarterly basis. The Master Fund’s investments in Investment Funds are carried at fair value which generally represents the Master Fund’s pro-rata interest in the net assets of each Investment Fund as reported by the administrators and/or investment managers of the underlying Investment Funds. All valuations utilize financial information supplied by each Investment Fund and are net of management and incentive fees or allocations payable to the Investment Funds’ managers or pursuant to the Investment Funds’ agreements. The Master Fund’s valuation procedures require the Adviser to consider all relevant information available at the time the Master Fund values its portfolio. The Adviser has assessed factors including, but not limited to, the individual Investment Funds’ compliance with fair value measurements, price transparency and valuation procedures in place. The Adviser and/or the Board will consider such information and consider whether it is appropriate, in light of all relevant circumstances, to value such a position at its NAV as reported or whether to adjust such value. The underlying investments of each Investment Fund are accounted for at fair value as described in each Investment Fund’s financial statements.

 

The fair value relating to certain underlying investments of these Investment Funds, for which there is no ready market, has been estimated by the respective Investment Funds’ management and is based upon available information in the absence of readily ascertainable fair values and does not necessarily represent amounts that might ultimately be realized. Due to the inherent uncertainty of valuation, those estimated fair values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for the investments existed. These differences could be material.

 

The Master Fund may also make Direct Investments, which are interests in securities issued by operating companies and are typically made as investments alongside a private equity fund. With respect to valuation of Direct Investments, they are fair valued typically by reference to the valuation utilized by the corresponding private equity fund or with a third party valuation agent.

 

The following table represents the inputs used to value the investments at fair value on the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities within the valuation hierarchy as of September 30, 2019:

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS AND OTHER

 

As of September 30, 2019, the Master Fund and CPG TCG had no investments in Investment Funds that were related parties.

 

The Adviser provides investment advisory services to the Master Fund pursuant to an investment advisory agreement (the “Agreement”). Pursuant to the Agreement, the Master Fund pays the Adviser a quarterly fee (the “Management Fee”) computed and payable monthly, at the annual rate of 1.20% of the Master Fund’s net asset value. “Net asset value” means, for any month, the total value of all assets of the Master Fund as of the end of such month, less an amount equal to all accrued debts, liabilities and obligations of the Master Fund as of such date, and calculated before giving effect to any repurchase of shares on such date and before any reduction for any fees and expenses of the Master Fund. The Management Fee shall be prorated for any period of less than a month based on the number of days in such period. During the period ended September 30, 2019, the Adviser earned $6,770,185 of Management Fee which is included in the Consolidated Statement of Operations, of which $3,387,578 was payable as of September 30, 2019 and is included in Payable to Adviser in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

 

Pursuant to a license agreement between Carlyle Investment Management, L.L.C. and the Adviser (the “License Agreement”), the Adviser is permitted to use the mark “Carlyle” in connection with the offering, marketing, promotion, management and operation of the Fund. The Adviser believes that the Master Fund has benefitted and will continue to benefit from the License Agreement, in accordance with its terms. Nonetheless the Adviser will not seek reimbursement or payment from the Master Fund for any amounts thereunder.

 

Unless otherwise voluntarily or contractually assumed by the Adviser or another party, the Master Fund bears all expenses incurred in its business, including, but not limited to, the following: all costs and expenses related to investment transactions and positions for the Master Fund’s account; legal fees; accounting, auditing and tax preparation fees; recordkeeping and custodial fees; costs of computing the Master Fund’s NAV; fees for data and software providers; research expenses; costs of insurance; registration expenses; certain offering costs; expenses of meetings of investors; directors’ fees; all costs with respect to communications to investors; transfer taxes and taxes withheld on non-U.S. dividends; interest and commitment fees on loans and debit balances; and other types of expenses as may be approved from time to time by the Board.

The Board Chair, Audit Committee Chair, Nominating Committee Chair and Contracts Review Committee Chair each receive an additional $2,000 annual retainer. All members of the Board are reimbursed for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses. Total amounts expensed by the Master Fund related to Independent Directors for the period ended September 30, 2019 was $36,285, which is included in Directors’ and Officer fees in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

 

During the period ended September 30, 2019, the Master Fund incurred a portion of the annual compensation of the Master Fund’s Chief Compliance Officer in the amount of $19,265, which is included in Directors’ and Officer fees in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

 

Certain officers and the interested director of the Master Fund are also Officers of the Adviser and CPG TCG, and are registered representatives of Foreside Fund Services, LLC.

INVESTMENTS

 

For the period ended September 30, 2019, total purchases and total proceeds from redemptions or other dispositions of investments, excluding short-term investments, amounted to $69,328,800 and $21,445,109, respectively.

 

The Investment Funds in which the Master Fund invests generally charge a management fee of 1.00% - 2.00% and approximately 20% of net profits as a carried interest allocation, generally subject to a preferred return and a claw back.

 

7.

ALLOCATION OF INVESTORS’ CAPITAL

 

As of the last day of each Fiscal Period (as defined below), any net profit or net loss for the Fiscal Period shall be allocated among and credited to or debited against the capital accounts of the investors in accordance with their respective Master Fund percentages for such Fiscal Period. Fiscal Period means the period commencing on the first date on or as of which an investor other than the organizational investor or the Adviser is admitted to the Master Fund, and thereafter each period commencing on the day immediately following the last day of the preceding Fiscal Period, and ending at the close of business on the first to occur of the following dates: (1) the last day of a fiscal year; (2) the day preceding any day as of which a contribution to the capital of the Master Fund is made; (3) the day as of which the Master Fund repurchases any Interest or portion of an Interest of any member; (4) the day as of which the Master Fund admits a substituted investor to whom an Interest (or portion thereof) of an investor has been transferred (unless there is no change of beneficial ownership); or (5) any other day as of which the Limited Liability Company agreement provides for any amount to be credited to or debited against the capital account of any investor, other than an amount to be credited to or debited against the capital accounts of all investors in accordance with their respective investment percentages.

 

8.

REPURCHASE OF INVESTORS’ INTERESTS

 

Investors do not have the right to require the Master Fund to redeem their Interests or portion thereof. To provide a limited degree of liquidity to investors, the Master Fund may, from time to time, offer to repurchase Interests or portions thereof pursuant to written tenders by investors. Repurchases will be made at such times, in such amount and on such terms as may be determined by the Board, in its sole discretion. In determining whether the Master Fund should offer to repurchase Interests, the Board will consider the recommendations of the Adviser as to the timing of such an offer, as well as a variety of operational, business and economic factors. The Adviser anticipates that it will recommend to the Board that the Master Fund offer to repurchase Interests from investors on a quarterly basis, with such repurchases to occur as of the last day of March, June, September and December (or, if any such date is not a business day, on the immediately preceding business day). The Adviser also expects that, generally, it will recommend to the Board that each repurchase offer should apply to up to 5% of the net assets of the Master Fund. Each repurchase offer will generally commence approximately 100 days prior to the applicable repurchase date.

 

9.

CAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS AND COMMITMENTS

 

As of September 30, 2019, the Master Fund had outstanding investment commitments to Investment Funds totaling $729,156,048. Nine Investment Funds have commitments denominated in Euros and one Investment Fund has commitments denominated in Japanese Yen. As of September 30, 2019, the unfunded commitments for these Investment Funds totaled €125,567,404 and ¥568,635,295, respectively. As of September 30, 2019, the exchange rate used for the conversion was 1.0982 USD/EUR and 106.383 JPY/USD, respectively. The U.S. dollar equivalent of these commitments is included in the Master Fund’s total unfunded commitment amount.

 

10.

INDEMNIFICATION

 

Under the Master Fund’s organizational documents, its officers and Directors are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Master Fund. In addition, in the ordinary course of business, the Master Fund may enter into contracts or agreements that contain indemnification or warranties. The Master Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Master Fund that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Master Fund expects the risk of loss to be remote.
