Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Partners and Board of Directors
Salient Private Access Registered Fund, L.P.:

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets, liabilities and partners’ capital of Salient Private Access Registered Fund, L.P. (the Registered Fund), as of December 31, 2020, the related statements of operations and cash flows for the year then ended, the statements of changes in partners’ capital for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the related notes (collectively, the financial statements) and the financial highlights for each of the years in the five-year period then ended. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Registered Fund as of December 31, 2020, the results of its operations and cash flows for the year then ended, the changes in its partners’ capital for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years in the five-year period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Registered Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Registered Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and financial highlights, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and financial highlights. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

SALIENT PRIVATE ACCESS REGISTERED FUND, L.P.
(A Limited Partnership)

Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2020

(1) ORGANIZATION

The Salient Private Access Registered Fund, L.P. (the “Registered Fund”), a Delaware limited partnership registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), commenced operations on March 10, 2004, as a non-diversified, closed-end management investment company. The Registered Fund was created to serve as a feeder fund for the Salient Private Access Master Fund, L.P. (the “Master Fund”). For convenience, reference to the Registered Fund may include the Master Fund, as the context requires.

The Registered Fund’s investment objective is to preserve capital and to generate consistent long-term appreciation and returns across a market cycle (which is estimated to be five to seven years). The Registered Fund pursues its investment objective by investing substantially all of its assets in the Master Fund, which invests its assets in investment vehicles including, but not limited to, limited partnerships, limited liability companies, hedge funds, offshore corporations and other foreign investment vehicles (collectively, the “Investment Funds”), registered investment companies (including exchange-traded funds) and direct investments in marketable securities and derivative instruments. The Master Fund’s financial statements, Schedule of Investments and notes to financial statements, included elsewhere in this report, should be read in conjunction with this report. The percentage of the Master Fund’s partnership interests owned by the Registered Fund on December 31, 2020, was 43.58%.

The Endowment Fund GP, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, serves as the general partner of the Registered Fund (the “General Partner”). To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the General Partner has irrevocably delegated to a board of directors (the “Board” and each member a “Director”) its rights and powers to monitor and oversee the business affairs of the Registered Fund, including the complete and exclusive authority to oversee and establish policies regarding the management, conduct, and operation of the Registered Fund’s business. A majority of the Directors are independent of the General Partner and its management. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Board may delegate any of its rights, powers and authority to, among others, the officers of the Registered Fund, the Adviser (as hereinafter defined), or any committee of the Board.

The Board is authorized to engage an investment adviser and it has selected Endowment Advisers, L.P. (the “Adviser”), to manage the Registered Fund’s portfolio and operations, pursuant to an investment management agreement (the “Investment Management Agreement”). The Adviser is a Delaware limited partnership that is registered as an investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended. Under the Investment Management Agreement, the Adviser is responsible for the establishment of an investment committee, which is responsible for developing, implementing, and supervising the Registered Fund’s investment program subject to the ultimate supervision of the Board. In addition to investment advisory services, the Adviser also functions as the servicing agent of the Registered Fund (the “Servicing Agent”) and as such provides or procures investor services and administrative assistance for the Registered Fund. The Adviser can delegate all or a portion of its duties as Servicing Agent to other parties, who would in turn act as sub-servicing agents.

Under the Registered Fund’s organizational documents, the Registered Fund’s officers and Directors are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Registered Fund. In the normal course of business, the Registered Fund enters into contracts with service providers, which also provide for indemnifications by the Registered Fund. The Registered Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve any future potential claims that may be made against the Registered Fund. However, based on experience, the General Partner expects that risk of loss to be remote.

(2) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND PRACTICES

(a) BASIS OF ACCOUNTING

The accounting and reporting policies of the Registered Fund conform with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). The accompanying financial statements reflect the financial position of the Registered Fund and the results of its operations. The Registered Fund is an investment company that follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946, “Financial Services-Investment Companies.”

(b) CASH EQUIVALENTS

The Registered Fund considers all unpledged temporary cash investments with a maturity date at the time of purchase of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

(c) INVESTMENT SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS

The Registered Fund records monthly, its pro-rata share of income, expenses, changes in unrealized appreciation and depreciation, and realized gains and losses derived from the Master Fund.

The Registered Fund records investment transactions on a trade-date basis.

Investments that are held by the Registered Fund are marked to fair value at the date of the financial statements, and the corresponding change in unrealized appreciation/depreciation is included in the Statement of Operations.

(d) INVESTMENT VALUATION

The valuation of the Registered Fund’s investments is determined as of the close of business at the end of each reporting period, generally monthly. The valuation of the Registered Fund’s investments is calculated by UMB Fund Services, Inc., the Registered Fund’s independent administrator (the “Administrator”).

The Board has formed a valuation committee (the “Board Valuation Committee”) that is responsible for overseeing the Registered Fund’s valuation policies, making recommendations to the Board on valuation-related matters, and overseeing implementation by the Adviser of such valuation policies.

The Board has authorized the Adviser to establish a valuation committee of the Adviser (the “Adviser Valuation Committee”). The Adviser Valuation Committee’s function, subject to the oversight of the Board Valuation Committee and the Board, is generally to review valuation methodologies, valuation determinations, and any information provided to the Adviser Valuation Committee by the Adviser or the Administrator.

The Registered Fund invests substantially all of its assets in the Master Fund. Investments in the Master Fund are recorded at fair value based on the Registered Fund’s proportional share of the Master Fund’s partners’ capital. Valuation of the investments held by the Master Fund is discussed in the Master Fund’s notes to financial statements, included in this report.

(e) INVESTMENT INCOME

For investments in securities, dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, net of withholding taxes. Interest income is recorded as earned on the accrual basis and includes amortization of premiums or accretion of discounts.

10

SALIENT PRIVATE ACCESS REGISTERED FUND, L.P.
(A Limited Partnership)

Notes to Financial Statements, continued
December 31, 2020

(f) FUND EXPENSES

Unless otherwise voluntarily or contractually assumed by the Adviser or another party, the Registered Fund bears all expenses incurred in its business, directly or indirectly through its investment in the Master Fund, including, but not limited to, the following: all costs and expenses related to investment transactions and positions for the Registered Fund’s account; legal fees; compliance fees; accounting, auditing and tax preparation fees; recordkeeping and custodial fees; costs of computing the Registered Fund’s net asset value; fees for data and software providers; research expenses; costs of insurance; registration expenses; offering costs; expenses of meetings of partners; directors fees; all costs with respect to communications to partners; transfer taxes; and other types of expenses as may be approved from time to time by the Board.

(g) INCOME TAXES

The Registered Fund is organized and operates as a limited partnership and is not subject to income taxes as a separate entity. Such taxes are the responsibility of the individual partners. Accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been made in the Registered Fund’s financial statements. Investments in foreign securities may result in foreign taxes being withheld by the issuer of such securities.

For the current open tax years, and for all major jurisdictions, management of the Registered Fund has evaluated the tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Registered Fund’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions will “more-likely-than-not” be sustained by the Registered Fund upon challenge by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold and that would result in a tax benefit or expense to the Registered Fund would be recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current period. For the year ended December 31, 2020, the Registered Fund did not recognize any amounts for unrecognized tax benefit/expense. A reconciliation of unrecognized tax benefit/expense is not provided herein, as the beginning and ending amounts of unrecognized tax benefit/expense are zero, with no interim additions, reductions or settlements. Tax positions taken in tax years which remain open under the statute of limitations (generally three years for federal income tax purposes and four years for state income tax purposes) are subject to examination by federal and state tax jurisdictions.

(h) USE OF ESTIMATES

The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP, which requires management to make estimates and assumptions relating to the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates and such differences may be significant.

(3) FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The Registered Fund records its investment in the Master Fund at fair value. Investments of the Master Fund are recorded at fair value discussed further in the Master Fund’s notes to financial statements, included in this report.

(4) PARTNERS’ CAPITAL ACCOUNTS

(a) ISSUANCE OF INTERESTS

Upon receipt from an eligible investor of an initial or additional application for interests (the “Interests”), which will generally be accepted as of the first day of each month, the Registered Fund will issue new Interests. The Interests have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or the securities laws of

11

SALIENT PRIVATE ACCESS REGISTERED FUND, L.P.
(A Limited Partnership)

Notes to Financial Statements, continued
December 31, 2020

any state. The Registered Fund issues Interests only in private placement transactions in accordance with Regulation D or other applicable exemptions under the Securities Act. No public market exists for the Interests, and none is expected to develop. The Registered Fund is not required, and does not intend, to hold annual meetings of its partners. The Interests are subject to substantial restrictions on transferability and resale and may not be transferred or resold except as permitted under the Registered Fund’s limited partnership agreement. The Registered Fund reserves the right to reject any applications for subscription of Interests.

(b) ALLOCATION OF PROFITS AND LOSSES

For each fiscal period, generally monthly, net profits or net losses of the Registered Fund, including allocations from the Master Fund, are allocated among and credited to or debited against the capital accounts of all partners as of the last day of each fiscal period in accordance with the partners’ respective capital account ownership percentage for the fiscal period. Net profits or net losses are measured as the net change in the value of the partners’ capital of the Registered Fund, including any change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation of investments and income, net of expenses, and realized gains or losses during a fiscal period. Net profits or net losses are allocated after giving effect for any initial or additional applications for Interests, which generally occur at the beginning of the month, or any repurchases of Interests.

(c) REPURCHASE OF INTERESTS

A partner will not be eligible to have the Registered Fund repurchase all or any portion of an Interest at the partner’s discretion at any time. Periodically, the Adviser, which also serves as the investment adviser of the Master Fund, recommends to the Board that the Registered Fund offer to repurchase such Interests during the year, pursuant to written tenders by partners.

During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Registered Fund completed four quarterly tender offers to repurchase Interests in the Registered Fund. The Board approved each tender offer to repurchase 2.5% of outstanding Interests in the Registered Fund as recommended by the Adviser.

The Board retains the sole discretion to accept or reject the recommendation of the Adviser and to determine the amount of Interests, if any, that will be purchased in any tender offer that it does approve. Since the Registered Fund’s assets are invested in the Master Fund, the ability of the Registered Fund to have its Interests in the Master Fund be repurchased would be subject to the Master Fund’s repurchase policy. The Master Fund’s repurchase policy is substantially similar to the Registered Fund’s repurchase policy as any tender offer by the Master Fund is subject to the sole discretion of the Board. In addition, the Registered Fund may determine not to conduct a repurchase offer each time the Master Fund conducts a repurchase offer. In the event Interests are repurchased, there will be a substantial period of time between the date as of which partners must tender their Interests for repurchase and the date they can expect to receive payment for their Interests from the Registered Fund.

At the February 4th, 2020 Board Meeting, the Board approved the Registered Fund’s ability to complete a mandatory repurchase of accounts having capital balances below a specified minimum of $10,000 (the “Mandatory Repurchase”). The Registered Fund completed the Mandatory Repurchase to repurchase approximately 0.03% of outstanding Interests in the Registered Fund as of September 30, 2020.

(5) INVESTMENTS IN PORTFOLIO SECURITIES

As of December 31, 2020, all of the investments made by the Registered Fund were in the Master Fund.

12

SALIENT PRIVATE ACCESS REGISTERED FUND, L.P.
(A Limited Partnership)

Notes to Financial Statements, continued
December 31, 2020

(6) FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK

In the normal course of business, the Investment Funds in which the Registered Fund may invest either directly or through the Master Fund may trade various derivative securities and other financial instruments, and enter into various investment activities with off-balance sheet risk both as an investor and as a principal. The Registered Fund’s risk of loss in these Investment Funds is limited to the Registered Fund’s pro rata share of the value of its investment in or commitment to such Investment Funds as held directly or through the Master Fund. In addition, the Master Fund may invest directly in derivative securities or other financial instruments to gain greater or lesser exposure to a particular asset class.

(7) ADMINISTRATION AGREEMENT

In consideration for administrative, accounting, and recordkeeping services, the Master Fund pays the Administrator a monthly administration fee based on the month-end partners’ capital of the Master Fund. The Administrator also provides the Registered Fund and the Master Fund with legal, compliance, transfer agency, and other investor related services at an additional cost.

The fees for Registered Fund administration are paid out of the Master Fund’s assets, which decreases the net profits or increases the net losses of the partners in the Registered Fund.

(8) RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

(a) INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT FEE

In consideration of the advisory and other services provided by the Adviser to the Master Fund and the Registered Fund, the Master Fund pays the Adviser an investment management fee (the “Investment Management Fee”) equal to 1.00% on an annualized basis of the Master Fund’s partners’ capital calculated based on the Master Fund’s partners’ capital at the end of each month, payable quarterly in arrears. So long as the Registered Fund invests all of its investable assets in the Master Fund, the Registered Fund will not pay the Adviser directly any Investment Management Fee; however, should the Registered Fund not have all of its investments in the Master Fund, it may be charged the 1.00% Investment Management Fee directly. The Registered Fund’s partners bear an indirect portion of the Investment Management Fee paid by the Master Fund. The Investment Management Fee decreases the net profits or increases the net losses of the Master Fund and indirectly the Registered Fund as the fees reduce the capital accounts of the Master Fund’s partners.

(b) SERVICING FEE

In consideration for providing or procuring investor services and administrative assistance to the Registered Fund, the Adviser receives a servicing fee (the “Servicing Fee”) equal to 1.00% (on an annualized basis) of each partner’s capital account balance, calculated at the end of each month, payable quarterly in arrears.

The Adviser may engage one or more sub-servicing agents to provide some or all of the services. Compensation to any sub-servicing agent is paid by the Adviser. The Adviser or its affiliates also may pay a fee out of their own resources to sub-servicing agents.

For the year ended December 31, 2020, $900,955 was incurred for Servicing Fees.

December 31, 2020

(c) PLACEMENT AGENTS

The Registered Fund may engage one or more placement agents (each, a “Placement Agent”) to solicit investments in the Registered Fund. Salient Capital, L.P., an affiliate of the Adviser, is a broker-dealer who has been engaged by the Registered Fund to serve as a Placement Agent. A Placement Agent may engage one or more sub-placement agents. The Adviser or its affiliates may pay a fee out of their own resources to Placement Agents and sub-placement agents.

An investor’s return (and operating ratios) may vary from those reflected based on the timing of capital transactions.

(1) Ratios are calculated by dividing the indicated amount by average partners’ capital measured at the end of each month during the year. Ratios include allocations of net investment loss and expenses from the Master Fund.

(2) The Registered Fund is invested exclusively in the Master Fund, therefore this ratio reflects the portfolio turnover of the Master Fund, which is for the year indicated.

(3) The total return of the Registered Fund is calculated as geometrically linked monthly returns for each month in the year.

(10) INVESTMENT RELATED RISKS

All securities investing and trading activities risk the loss of capital. No assurance can be given that the Master Fund’s or any Investment Fund’s investment activities will be successful or that the Partners will not suffer losses.

In general, these principal risks exist whether the investment is made by an Investment Fund or held by the Master Fund directly and therefore for convenience purposes, the description of such risks in terms of an Investment Fund is intended to include the same risks for investments made directly by the Master Fund. It is possible that an Investment Fund (or the Master Fund) will make (or hold) an investment that is not described below, and any such investment will be subject to its own particular risks. For purposes of this discussion, references to the activities of the Investment Funds should generally be interpreted to include the activities of an Investment Manager. The risks and considerations described below are intended to reflect the Master Fund’s anticipated holdings.

(a) HIGHLY VOLATILE MARKETS RISK

The prices of an Investment Fund’s investments, and therefore the NAV of the Master Fund’s Interests, can be highly volatile. Price movements of forward contracts, futures contracts and other derivative contracts in which an Investment Fund may invest are influenced by, among other things, interest rates, changing supply and demand relationships, trade, fiscal, monetary and exchange control programs and policies of governments, and national and international political and economic events and policies. In addition, governments from time to time intervene,

14

SALIENT PRIVATE ACCESS REGISTERED FUND, L.P.
(A Limited Partnership)

Notes to Financial Statements, continued
December 31, 2020

directly and by regulation, in certain markets, particularly those in currencies, financial instruments and interest rate-related futures and options. Such intervention often is intended directly to influence prices and may, together with other factors, cause all of such markets to move rapidly in the same direction because of, among other things, interest rate fluctuations. Moreover, since internationally there may be less government supervision and regulation of worldwide stock exchanges and clearinghouses than in the U.S., Investment Funds also are subject to the risk of the failure of the exchanges on which their positions trade or of their clearinghouses, and there may be a higher risk of financial irregularities and/or lack of appropriate risk monitoring and controls.

(b) NON-U.S. INVESTMENT RISK

Investment Funds may invest in securities of non-U.S. issuers and the governments of non-U.S. countries. These investments involve special risks not usually associated with investing in securities of U.S. companies or the U.S. government, including political and economic considerations, such as greater risks of expropriation and nationalization, confiscatory taxation, the potential difficulty of repatriating funds, general social, political and economic instability and adverse diplomatic developments; the possibility of the imposition of withholding or other taxes on dividends, interest, capital gain or other income; the small size of the securities markets in such countries and the low volume of trading, resulting in potential lack of liquidity and in price volatility; fluctuations in the rate of exchange between currencies and costs associated with currency conversion; and certain government policies that may restrict the Investment Funds’ investment opportunities. In addition, because non-U.S. entities are not subject to uniform accounting, auditing, and financial reporting standards, practices and requirements comparable with those applicable to U.S. companies, there may be different types of, and lower quality, information available about a non-U.S. company than a U.S. company. There is also less regulation, generally, of the securities markets in many foreign countries than there is in the U.S., and such markets may not provide the same protections available in the U.S. With respect to certain countries there may be the possibility of political, economic or social instability, the imposition of trading controls, import duties or other protectionist measures, various laws enacted for the protection of creditors, greater risks of nationalization or diplomatic developments which could materially adversely affect the Investment Funds’ investments in those countries. Furthermore, individual economies may differ favorably or unfavorably from the U.S. economy in such respects as growth of gross national product, rate of inflation, capital reinvestment, resource self-sufficiency, and balance of payments position. An Investment Fund’s investment in non-U.S. countries may also be subject to withholding or other taxes, which may be significant and may reduce the Investment Fund’s returns.

Brokerage commissions, custodial services and other costs relating to investment in international securities markets generally are more expensive than in the U.S. In addition, clearance and settlement procedures may be different in foreign countries and, in certain markets, such procedures have been unable to keep pace with the volume of securities transactions, thus making it difficult to conduct such transactions.

Investment in sovereign debt obligations of non-U.S. governments involves additional risks not present in debt obligations of corporate issuers and the U.S. government. The issuer of the debt or the governmental authorities that control the repayment of the debt may be unable or unwilling to repay principal or pay interest when due in accordance with the terms of such debt, and an Investment Fund may have limited recourse to compel payment in the event of a default. A sovereign debtor’s willingness or ability to repay principal and to pay interest in a timely manner may be affected by, among other factors, its cash flow situation, the extent of its foreign currency reserves, the availability of sufficient foreign exchange on the date a payment is due, the relative size of the debt service burden to the economy as a whole, the sovereign debtor’s policy toward international lenders, and the political constraints to which the sovereign debtor may be subject. Periods of economic uncertainty may result in the volatility of market prices of sovereign debt to a greater extent than the volatility inherent in debt obligations of other types of issues.

The Master Fund may hold investments in Investment Funds that focus on “emerging markets” (defined below), and the Adviser anticipates that this will continue. Investment Funds may invest in securities of companies based in emerging markets or issued by the governments of such countries. Securities traded in certain emerging markets may be subject to risks due to the inexperience of financial intermediaries, the lack of modern technology, the lack of a sufficient capital base to expand business operations, and the possibility of temporary or permanent termination of trading. Political and economic structures in many emerging markets may be undergoing significant evolution and rapid development, and emerging markets may lack the social, political and economic stability characteristics of more developed countries. As a result, the risks relating to investments in foreign securities described above, including the possibility of nationalization or expropriation, may be heightened. In addition, certain countries may restrict or prohibit investment opportunities in issuers or industries deemed important to national interests. Such restrictions may affect the market price, liquidity and rights of securities that may be purchased by Investment Funds. Settlement mechanisms in emerging securities markets may be less efficient and less reliable than in more developed markets and placing securities with a custodian or broker-dealer in an emerging country also may present considerable risks. The small size of securities markets in such countries and the low volume of trading may result in a lack of liquidity and in substantially greater price volatility. Many emerging market countries have experienced substantial, and in some periods extremely high rates of inflation for many years. Inflation and rapid fluctuations in inflation rates and corresponding currency devaluations and fluctuations in the rate of exchange between currencies and costs associated with currency conversion have had and may continue to have negative effects on the economies and securities markets of certain emerging market countries. In addition, accounting and financial reporting standards that prevail in certain of such countries are not equivalent to standards in more developed countries and, consequently, less information is available to investors in companies located in such countries.

(d) FIXED INCOME RISK

Certain types of fixed income securities and other credit instruments may be subject to heightened liquidity risk arising from the credit crisis beginning in 2007. Such investments include collateralized debt obligations, high-yield bonds, debt issued in leveraged buyout transactions, mortgage and asset-backed securities, and short-term asset-backed commercial paper, which became very illiquid in the latter half of 2007, and that, in many cases, have remained illiquid or relatively illiquid. General market uncertainty and consequent re-pricing of risk led to market imbalances between sellers and buyers, which in turn resulted in significant valuation uncertainties in mortgage and credit-related securities and other instruments. These conditions resulted, and in many cases continue to result in, greater volatility, less liquidity, widening credit spreads and a lack of price transparency, with many instruments remaining illiquid and of uncertain value. Such market conditions and the above factors may increase the level of difficulty encountered in valuing such securities and other credit instruments which could result in sudden and significant valuation increases or declines in the NAV of the Master Fund.

(e) FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS AND EXCHANGE RISK

Investment Funds may invest in equity and equity-related securities denominated in non-U.S. currencies and in other financial instruments, the price of which is determined with reference to such currencies. Investment Funds may engage in foreign currency transactions for a variety of purposes, including to “lock in” the U.S. dollar price of the security, between the trade and the settlement dates, the value of a security an Investment Fund has agreed to buy or sell, or to hedge the U.S. dollar value of securities the Investment Fund already owns. The Investment Funds also may engage in foreign currency transactions for non-hedging purposes to generate returns. The Master Fund will, however, value its investments and other assets in U.S. dollars. To the extent unhedged, the value of the Master

16

SALIENT PRIVATE ACCESS REGISTERED FUND, L.P.
(A Limited Partnership)

Notes to Financial Statements, continued
December 31, 2020

Fund’s net assets will fluctuate with U.S. dollar exchange rates as well as with price changes of an Investment Fund’s investments in the various local markets and currencies. Forward currency contracts and options may be utilized by Investment Funds to hedge against currency fluctuations, but the Investment Funds are not required to utilize such techniques, and there can be no assurance that such hedging transactions will be available or, even if undertaken, effective.

(f) CONVERGENCE RISK

The Master Fund will hold Investment Funds whose Investment Managers take long positions in securities believed to be undervalued and short positions in securities believed to be overvalued. In the event that the perceived mispricings underlying one or more Investment Managers’ trading positions were to fail to converge toward, or were to diverge further from, relationships expected by such Investment Managers, the Master Fund may incur significant losses.

(g) CORPORATE EVENT RISK

Substantial transaction failure risks are involved in companies that are the subject of publicly disclosed mergers, takeover bids, exchange offers, tender offers, spin-offs, liquidations, corporate restructuring, and other similar transactions. Similarly, substantial risks are involved in investments in companies facing negative publicity or uncertain litigation. Thus, there can be no assurance that any expected transaction will take place, that negative publicity will not continue to affect a company or that litigation will be resolved in a company’s favor. Certain transactions are dependent on one or more factors to become effective, such as market conditions which may lead to unexpected positive or negative changes in a company profile, shareholder approval, regulatory and various other third party constraints, changes in earnings or business lines or shareholder activism as well as many other factors. No assurance can be given that the transactions entered into will result in a profitable investment for the Investment Funds or that the Investment Funds will not incur substantial losses.

(h) ISSUER RISK

The issuers of securities acquired by Investment Funds sometimes involve a high degree of business and financial risk. These companies may be in an early stage of development, may not have a proven operating history, may be operating at a loss or have significant variations in operating results, may be engaged in a rapidly changing business with products subject to a substantial risk of obsolescence, may require substantial additional capital to support their operations, to finance expansion or to maintain their competitive position, or may otherwise have a weak financial condition.

Issuers of securities acquired by Investment Funds may be highly leveraged. Leverage may have important adverse consequences to these companies and an Investment Fund as an investor. These companies may be subject to restrictive financial and operating covenants. The leverage may impair these companies’ ability to finance their future operations and capital needs. As a result, these companies’ flexibility to respond to changing business and economic conditions and to business opportunities may be limited. A leveraged company’s income and net assets will tend to increase or decrease at a greater rate than if borrowed money were not used.

In addition, such companies may face intense competition, including competition from companies with greater financial resources, more extensive development, manufacturing, marketing, and other capabilities, and a larger number of qualified managerial and technical personnel.

(i) RECENT MARKET AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTS

Certain impacts to public health conditions particular to the coronavirus (COVID-19) may have a significant negative impact on the operations and profitability of the Fund’s investments. The extent of the impact to the financial performance of the Fund will depend on future developments, including (i) the duration and spread of the outbreak, (ii) the restrictions and advisories, (iii) the effects on the financial markets, and (iv) the effects on the economy overall, all of which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted.

(11) PANDEMICS AND ASSOCIATED ECONOMIC DISRUPTION

An outbreak of respiratory disease caused by a novel coronavirus was first detected in China in late 2019 and subsequently spread internationally. This coronavirus has resulted in closing borders, enhanced health screenings, healthcare service preparation and delivery, quarantines, cancellations, disruptions to supply chains and customer activity, as well as general anxiety and economic uncertainty. It is not known how long any negative impacts, or any future impacts of other significant events such as a substantial economic downturn, will last. Health crises caused by outbreaks of disease, such as the coronavirus outbreak, may exacerbate other pre-existing political, social and economic risks. This outbreak, and other epidemics and pandemics that may arise in the future, could negatively affect the global economy, as well as the economies of individual countries, individual companies and the market in general in significant and unforeseen ways. For example, a widespread health crisis such as a global pandemic could cause substantial market volatility, exchange trading suspensions and closures, impact the Funds ability to complete repurchase requests, and affect Fund performance. Any such impact could adversely affect the Funds performance, the performance of the securities in which the Funds invests, lines of credit available to the Funds and may lead to losses on your investment in the Funds. In addition, the increasing interconnectedness of markets around the world may result in many markets being affected by events or conditions in a single country or region or events affecting a single or small number of issuers.

(12) SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Based on the partners’ capital of the Registered Fund, the Adviser recommended to the Board that a tender offer to repurchase Interests in an amount of up to $2,221,000 be made for the quarter ending March 31, 2021 to those partners who elect to tender their Interests prior to the expiration of the tender offer period. The Board approved such recommendation and partners in the Registered Fund were notified of a tender offer with a March 3, 2021 expiration date (“Expiration Date”). In response to the number of partners electing to tender their Interests as of the Expiration Date, which amounted to approximately $9 million in gross redemptions as of February 19, 2021, the Adviser, in its discretion, will pro-rate the amount elected to be tendered in accordance with the Registered Fund’s repurchase procedures. The final amount that is accepted by the Master Fund, and subsequently the Registered Fund, will appear in the next report to partners.

In late 2020, CCP Operating, LLC (“Cypress Creek”) entered into an agreement with Salient Partners, L.P. (“Salient”) whereby Cypress Creek would acquire from Salient all of the outstanding equity interests of the Adviser and General Partner and all of the outstanding membership interests in The Endowment Fund Management, LLC (the “Transaction”).

In connection with the Transaction, at a meeting held on November 13, 2020 (the “Meeting”), the Board, including the Independent Directors, approved each of the below proposals (the “Proposals”), subject to approval by partners in the Registered Fund and the Master Fund. As discussed in the Proxy Statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 7, 2020, all partners of the Registered Fund had the right to vote their interests at a special

Board Consideration of the Investment Management Agreements

At a virtual meeting of the Board held on October 22, 2020, the Board, including the Directors who are not “interested persons” as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“Independent Directors”), considered and approved the continuation of the Investment Management Agreement between the Fund and the Adviser (the “Advisory Agreement”). In preparation for review of the Advisory Agreement, the Board requested the Adviser to provide detailed information which the Board determined to be reasonably necessary to evaluate the agreement. The Independent Directors also met in executive session to review and discuss aspects of these materials. At the request of the Independent Directors, the Adviser made presentations regarding the materials and responded to questions from the Independent Directors relating to, among other things, portfolio management, the Fund’s investment programs, the Fund’s and Adviser’s compliance programs, Adviser staffing and management changes, Fund performance including benchmarks and comparisons to other funds, Fund fee levels, other portfolios (including fees) managed by the Adviser and its affiliates and the Adviser’s profitability (including revenue of the Adviser across all of its funds). The Board, including the Independent Directors, also took into consideration information furnished for the Board’s review and consideration throughout the year at regular Board meetings. The Independent Directors were assisted at all times by independent counsel.

Following the Board’s review, the Independent Directors met in executive session and then reported that they had concluded that the Advisory Agreement enables the Fund’s partners to obtain quality services at a cost that is appropriate, reasonable, and in the interests of investors. It also was noted that the Board’s decision to renew the Advisory Agreement was not based on any single factor, but rather was based on a comprehensive consideration of all the information provided to the Board at its meetings throughout the year. Upon consideration of these and other factors, the Board also determined:

The nature, extent and quality of the advisory services provided. With respect to the Advisory Agreement, the Board considered: the Adviser’s continuing focus to increase Fund performance within the scope of the Funds’ investment mandate, the background and experience of key investment personnel; the Adviser’s focus on analysis of complex asset categories and their investment relationships; the Adviser’s disciplined investment approach, including continued new private equity and similar private fund investments, and commitment to investment principles; the Adviser’s investment in and commitment to personnel; the Adviser’s significant compliance and tax reporting efforts, and oversight of operations; and, the Adviser’s oversight of and interaction with service providers.

The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the management and advisory service provided were appropriate and thus supported a decision to renew the Advisory Agreement. The Board also concluded that the Adviser would be able to provide during the coming year management, operational, compliance and related services, and that these services are appropriate in scope and extent.

The investment performance of the Funds. The Board evaluated the comparative information provided by the Adviser regarding the Fund’s investment performance, and noted the Funds’ objective of seeking consistent long-term appreciation across a market cycle, in light of the effect on markets of the existing pandemic, and the uncertainty arising therefrom on private markets. The Board reviewed information on the performance of other registered investment fund of private funds and various indices, including the relevance of various indices. The Board also considered various performance reports received throughout the year. The Board noted challenges and low absolute returns of the Funds and many fund of private funds generally, noting however that the Funds maintained low volatility. The Board concluded that, although difficult based on the unprecedented nature of the causes of market volatility, the Adviser was able to implement its strategies in the context of the effect of a pandemic on nearly all

26

SALIENT PRIVATE ACCESS REGISTERED FUND, L.P.
(A Limited Partnership)

Supplemental Information, continued

(Unaudited)

markets, and maintain relatively low volatility for the Funds. On the basis of the Directors’ assessment, the Directors concluded that the Adviser was capable of generating a level of long-term investment performance in keeping with the Fund’s investment objective, policies and strategies.

The cost of advisory service provided and the level of profitability. In analyzing the cost of services and profitability of the Adviser, the Board considered the revenues earned and expenses incurred by the Adviser. The Board took into account the maintenance by and cost to the Adviser in personnel and service infrastructure to support the Fund and its investors. On the basis of the Board’s review of the fees to be charged by the Adviser for investment advisory and related services, the unique nature of the Fund’s investment program, the Adviser’s financial information, and the costs associated with managing the Fund, the Board concluded that the level of investment management fees and the profitability of the Adviser are reasonable in light of the services provided, the management fees and overall expense ratios of comparable investment companies, and the overall relationship between the Fund and the Adviser.

The extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Fund grows and whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of Fund investors. While noting that the management fees will not decrease as the level of Fund assets increase, the Board concluded that the management fees reflect the Fund’s complex operations, the current economic environment for the Adviser, including its continued support and monitoring of the Fund, changes that had been implemented, the competitive nature of the investment company market as relevant to the Fund, and the relatively unchanged size of the Fund following the implementation of the 2014 investor choice plan that resulted in dividing of the Fund’s portfolio. The Board noted that it would have the opportunity periodically to re-examine whether the Fund has achieved economies of scale, as well as the appropriateness of management fees payable to the Adviser, in the future.

Benefits (such as soft dollars) to the Adviser from its relationship with the Fund. The Board concluded that other benefits derived by the Adviser from its relationship with the Fund, to the extent such benefits are identifiable or determinable, are reasonable and fair, result from the provision of appropriate services to the Fund and investors therein, and are consistent with industry practice and the best interests of the Fund and its partners. In this regard, the Board noted that the Adviser does not realize “soft dollar” benefits from its relationship with the Fund.

Other considerations. The Board determined that the Adviser has made a continuing and substantial commitment to investment monitoring and investment decision-making and the provision of investor service, and maintained the financial, compliance and operational resources reasonably necessary to manage the Fund in a professional manner that is consistent with the best interests of the Fund and its partners.

At a virtual meeting of the Board held on November 13, 2020, the Board, including the Directors who are not “interested persons” as that term is defined in the 1940 Act, as amended (“Independent Directors”), considered and approved the new Investment Management Agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”) between the Fund and the Adviser. In preparation for review of the Advisory Agreement, the Board requested Cypress Creek to provide detailed information which the Board determined to be reasonably necessary to evaluate the agreement. The Independent Directors also met in executive session to review and discuss aspects of these materials. At the request of the Independent Directors, the Adviser made presentations regarding the materials and responded to questions from the Independent Directors relating to, among other things, portfolio management, the Fund’s investment programs, the Fund’s and the Adviser’s compliance programs, Adviser staffing and management changes, Fund performance including benchmarks and comparisons to other funds, Fund fee levels, other portfolios (including fees) managed by the Adviser and its affiliates and the Adviser’s profitability (including revenue of the Adviser across all of its funds).

The Board, including the Independent Directors, also took into consideration information furnished for the Board’s review and consideration throughout the year at regular Board meetings. The Independent Directors were assisted at all times by independent counsel.

Following the Board’s review, the Independent Directors met in executive session. Following discussion, it was reported that the Independent Directors had discussed the Transaction and concluded that the Advisory Agreement will enable the Fund’s partners to obtain high quality services at a cost that is appropriate, reasonable, and in the interests of investors. They stated that the proposed advisory fees were supported by prudent exercise of judgment. It also was noted that the Board’s decision to approve the Advisory Agreement was not based on any single factor, but rather was based on a comprehensive consideration of all the information provided to the Board at its meetings throughout the year. Upon consideration of these and other factors, the Board also determined:

The nature, extent and quality of the advisory services provided. With respect to the Advisory Agreement, the Board considered: Cypress Creek’s representation that the Adviser would continue to focus on the Fund’s performance within the scope of the Fund’s investment mandate, the background and experience of key investment personnel; Cypress Creek’s focus on analysis of complex asset categories and their investment relationships; Cypress Creek’s proposed disciplined investment approach for the Adviser, including new private equity and similar private fund investments, and commitment to investment principles; Cypress Creek’s investment in and commitment to personnel; the Adviser’s expected compliance and tax reporting efforts, and oversight of operations; and, the Adviser’s intended oversight of and interaction with service providers, as well as the entrepreneurial efforts to occur in conjunction with the Advisory Agreement.

The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the management and advisory services to be provided were appropriate and thus supported a decision to approve the Advisory Agreement. The Board also concluded that the Adviser would be able to provide quality management, operational, compliance and related services, and that these services are appropriate in scope and extent.

The investment performance of the Fund. The Board considered the comparative information previously provided by the Adviser regarding the Fund’s investment performance, and noted the Fund’s objective of seeking consistent long-term appreciation across a market cycle, in light of current equity markets, would continue under the Advisory Agreement. The Board noted that the new personnel that would provide advice under the Advisory Agreement were capable of attaining the Fund’s performance goals, and concluded that the Adviser should be able to implement its strategies in the context of variable conditions in numerous markets with lower volatility for the Fund. On the basis of the Directors’ assessment, the Directors concluded that the Adviser was capable of generating a level of long-term investment performance in keeping with the Fund’s investment objectives, policies and strategies.

The cost of advisory service provided and the level of profitability. In analyzing the cost of services and profitability of the Adviser, the Board considered the revenues earned and expenses incurred by the Adviser and Cypress Creek’s discussion of its anticipation for the same. The Board took into account the maintenance by and cost to the Adviser in personnel and service infrastructure to support the Fund and its investors. For the SPA Funds, the Board noted the nature of the performance-based fee under the New Management Agreements, and that any such fee would not take effect until a significant period of transition occurred.

The extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Fund grows and whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of Fund investors. Noting that the SPA Fund management fees would decrease as the level of Fund assets increase, the Board concluded that the management fees reflect the Funds’ complex

operations, the current economic environment for the Advisor, including anticipated support and monitoring of the Funds, and changes in investment decision-making that were proposed, the competitive nature of the investment company market as relevant to the Funds.

Benefits (such as soft dollars) to the Adviser from its relationship with the Fund. The Board concluded that other benefits derived by the Adviser and Cypress Creek from their relationship with the Fund, to the extent such benefits are identifiable or determinable, are reasonable and fair, result from the provision of appropriate services to the Fund and investors therein, and are consistent with industry practice and the best interests of the Fund and its partners. In this regard, the Board noted that the Adviser does not realize “soft dollar” benefits from its relationship with the Fund.

Other considerations. The Board determined that Cypress Creek represents it will make a continuing and substantial commitment both to the recruitment and retention of high quality personnel, monitoring and investment decision-making and provision of investor service, and maintained the financial, compliance and operational resources reasonably necessary to manage the Fund in a professional manner that is consistent with the best interests of the Fund and its partners.

The Master Fund’s total outstanding capital commitments to Investment Funds as of December 31, 2020 were $38,725,546. For certain Investment Funds for which the Master Fund has a capital commitment, the Master Fund may be allocated its pro-rata share of expenses prior to having to fund a capital call for such expenses.

All investments are non-income producing unless noted otherwise.

(1) Income producing investment.

(2) Affiliated investments for which ownership exceeds 5% of the investment’s capital (see note 5b).

(3) Affiliated investments for which ownership exceeds 25% of the investment’s capital (see note 5b).

(4) Valued in good faith pursuant to procedures approved by the Board of Directors as of December 31, 2020. The total of all such investments represents 0.69% of partners’ capital.

(5) CLO subordinated notes are considered CLO equity positions. CLO equity positions are entitled to recurring distributions which are generally equal to the remaining cash flow of payments made by underlying securities less contractual payments to debt holders and fund expenses. The effective yield for the CLO equity position will generally be updated periodically or on transactions such as an add-on purchases, refinancing or reset. The estimated yield and investment cost may ultimately not be realized.

(6) Restricted investments as to resale.

(7) Security exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933. The Security may be sold in transactions exempt from registration, normally to qualified institutional buyers.

SALIENT PRIVATE ACCESS MASTER FUND, L.P.
(A Limited Partnership)

Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2020

(1) ORGANIZATION

The Salient Private Access Master Fund, L.P. (the “Master Fund”), a Delaware limited partnership, commenced operations on April 1, 2003. The Master Fund operated as an unregistered investment vehicle until March 10, 2004, at which time it registered as a non-diversified, closed-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The Master Fund is the master fund in a master-feeder structure in which there are currently six feeder funds.

The Master Fund’s investment objective is to preserve capital and to generate consistent long-term appreciation and returns across a market cycle (which is estimated to be five to seven years). The Master Fund is primarily a “fund of funds” which pursues its investment objective by investing its assets in a variety of investment vehicles including, but not limited to, limited partnerships, limited liability companies, hedge funds, offshore corporations and other foreign investment vehicles (collectively, the “Investment Funds”), registered investment companies (including exchange-traded funds) and direct investments in marketable securities and derivative instruments. The Investment Funds are managed by a carefully selected group of investment managers, identified by the Adviser, as hereinafter defined. The various styles and strategies employed by the Investment Funds and supplemented by the Master Fund’s direct investments, serve to achieve a portfolio that is broadly allocated.

The Endowment Fund GP, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, serves as the general partner of the Master Fund (the “General Partner”). To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the General Partner has irrevocably delegated to a board of directors (the “Board” and each member a “Director”) its rights and powers to monitor and oversee the business affairs of the Master Fund, including the complete and exclusive authority to oversee and establish policies regarding the management, conduct, and operation of the Master Fund’s business. A majority of the Directors are independent of the General Partner and its management. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Board may delegate any of its rights, powers and authority to, among others, the officers of the Master Fund, the Adviser, or any committee of the Board.

The Board is authorized to engage an investment adviser, and pursuant to an investment management agreement, (the “Investment Management Agreement”), it has selected Endowment Advisers, L.P. (the “Adviser”), to manage the Master Fund’s portfolio and operations. The Adviser is a Delaware limited partnership that is registered as an investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended. Under the Investment Management Agreement, the Adviser is responsible for the establishment of an investment committee (the “Investment Committee”), which is responsible for developing, implementing, and supervising the Master Fund’s investment program subject to the ultimate supervision of the Board.

Under the Master Fund’s organizational documents, the Master Fund’s Directors and officers are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Master Fund. In the normal course of business, the Master Fund enters into contracts with service providers, which also provide for indemnifications by the Master Fund. The Master Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve any future potential claims that may be made against the Master Fund. However, based on experience, the General Partner expects that risk of loss to be remote.

(2) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND PRACTICES

(a) BASIS OF ACCOUNTING

The accounting and reporting policies of the Master Fund conform with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). The accompanying financial statements reflect the financial position of the Master Fund and the results of its operations. The Master Fund is an investment company that follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946, “Financial Services-Investment Companies.”

(b) CASH EQUIVALENTS

The Master Fund considers all unpledged temporary cash investments of sufficient credit quality with a maturity date at the time of purchase of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

(c) INVESTMENT SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS

The Master Fund records investment transactions on a trade-date basis.

Investments that are held by the Master Fund, including those that have been sold short, are marked to fair value at the date of the financial statements, and the corresponding change in unrealized appreciation/depreciation is included in the Statement of Operations.

Investment fund distributions are recorded based on the detail provided with the distribution notice, as applicable. Realized gains or losses on the disposition of investments are accounted for based on the first in first out method.

(d) INVESTMENT VALUATION

The valuation of the Master Fund’s investments is determined as of the close of business at the end of each reporting period, generally monthly. The valuation of the Master Fund’s investments is calculated by UMB Fund Services, Inc., the Master Fund’s independent administrator (the “Administrator”).

The Board has formed a valuation committee (the “Board Valuation Committee”) that is responsible for overseeing the Master Fund’s valuation policies, making recommendations to the Board on valuation-related matters, and overseeing implementation by the Adviser of such valuation policies.

The Board has authorized the Adviser to establish a valuation committee of the Adviser (the “Adviser Valuation Committee”). The Adviser Valuation Committee’s function, subject to the oversight of the Board Valuation Committee and the Board, is generally to review valuation methodologies, valuation determinations, and any information provided to the Adviser Valuation Committee by the Adviser or the Administrator.

The Master Fund is not able to obtain complete underlying investment holding details on each of the Investment Funds to determine if the Master Fund’s proportional, aggregated, indirect share of any investments held by the Investment Funds exceeds 5% of partners’ capital of the Master Fund as of December 31, 2020.

Investments held by the Master Fund are valued as follows:

● INVESTMENT FUNDS—Investments in Investment Funds that do not have a readily determinable fair value are carried at fair value, using the net asset value (the “NAV”) as a practical expedient, as provided to the Administrator by the investment managers of such Investment Funds or the administrators of such Investment Funds. These Investment Funds value their underlying investments in accordance with policies established by such Investment Funds. Prior to investing in any Investment Fund, the Adviser Valuation Committee,

47

SALIENT PRIVATE ACCESS MASTER FUND, L.P.
(A Limited Partnership)

Notes to Financial Statements, continued
December 31, 2020

as part of the due diligence process, conducts a review of the valuation methodologies employed by the Investment Fund to determine whether such methods are appropriate for the asset types. All of the Master Fund’s valuations utilize financial information supplied by each Investment Fund and are net of management and estimated performance incentive fees or allocations payable to the Investment Funds’ managers pursuant to the Investment Funds’ agreements. Generally, Investment Funds in which the Master Fund invests will use market value when available, and otherwise will use principles of fair value applied in good faith. The Adviser Valuation Committee will consider whether it is appropriate, in light of the relevant circumstances, to value shares at NAV as reported by an Investment Fund for valuation purposes, or whether to adjust such reported value to reflect an adjusted fair value. Because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation, fair value may differ significantly from the value that would have been used had readily available markets for the investments in Investment Funds existed. The Master Fund’s investments in Investment Funds are subject to the terms and conditions of the respective operating agreements and offering memoranda of such Investment Funds.

● SECURITIES LISTED ON A SECURITIES EXCHANGE OR OVER-THE-COUNTER EXCHANGES—In general, the Master Fund values these securities at their last sales price on the exchange or over-the-counter market on the valuation date. If the security is listed on more than one exchange, the Master Fund uses the price from the exchange that it considers to be the principal exchange on which the security is traded. If there have been no sales for that day on the exchange where the security is principally traded, then the price of the security will be valued at the mean between the closing bid and ask prices on the valuation date. Securities traded on a foreign securities exchange will generally be valued at their closing prices on the exchange where such securities are primarily traded, and translated into U.S. dollars at the current exchange rate. If an event occurred between the close of the foreign exchange and the valuation date of the Master Fund’s NAV that would materially affect the value of the security and the NAV of the Master Fund, the value of such security and the NAV of the Master Fund will be adjusted to reflect the change in the estimated value of the security.

● DERIVATIVES—Exchange traded futures contracts are valued using quoted final settlement prices from the national exchange on which they are principally traded. If no such sales price is reported by such exchange on the valuation date, the Adviser Valuation Committee will determine the fair value in good faith using information that is available at such time.

Options that are listed on a securities exchange are generally valued on the valuation date at the closing mid of posted market on the exchange on which they are listed. If on the valuation date the primary exchange is closed, the prior day price will be used. If no such price is reported, the fair value of such options will be determined in good faith using industry standard pricing models utilizing publicly available input information on the valuation date.

Options traded on an over-the-counter market are generally valued using the midpoint of the closing bid and ask price provided by an independent pricing service. If a quotation is not available from the independent pricing service, the price is obtained from a broker (typically the counterparty to the option) on the valuation date. If no such price is available on the valuation date, the Adviser Valuation Committee in conjunction with the Administrator will determine the fair value of such options in good faith using information that is available at such time.

Non exchange-traded derivatives, such as swap agreements, are valued based on procedures approved by the Board. Credit default swaps and total return swaps are generally fair valued using evaluated quotes provided by an independent pricing service. If a quotation is not available from the independent pricing service, the price is obtained from a broker (typically the counterparty to the swap agreement) on the valuation date.

48

SALIENT PRIVATE ACCESS MASTER FUND, L.P.
(A Limited Partnership)

Notes to Financial Statements, continued
December 31, 2020

Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are valued at prices supplied by an approved Pricing Vendor. The Pricing Vendor will consider spot and forward market prices and various other relevant factors in determining the fair values. Such valuations are provided by a pricing service approved by the Board.

● OTHER—Investments in open-end registered investment companies (“RICs”) that do not trade on an exchange and in other investment companies that have a readily determinable fair value are valued at the end of day NAV per share. Where no value is readily available from a RIC or other security, or where a value supplied by a RIC is deemed not to be indicative of the RIC’s value, the Adviser Valuation Committee and/or the Board Valuation Committee, in consultation with the Administrator or the Adviser, will determine, in good faith, the fair value of the RIC or other security.

Fixed-income securities are valued according to prices as furnished by an independent pricing service or broker/dealer quotes. Fixed-income securities maturing within a relatively short time frame may be valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.

Collateralized loan obligation (“CLO”) equity investments are valued according to prices as supplied by an independent pricing service. If a quotation is not available from the independent pricing service, the price is obtained from a broker that normally deals in such investments on the valuation date.

● SECURITIES NOT ACTIVELY TRADED—The value of securities, derivatives or synthetic securities that are not actively traded on an exchange shall be determined by obtaining quotes from brokers that normally deal in such securities or by an unaffiliated pricing service that may use actual trade data or procedures using market indices, matrices, yield curves, specific trading characteristics of certain groups of securities, pricing models or a combination of these procedures pursuant to the valuation procedures approved by the Board.

(e) FOREIGN CURRENCY

The accounting records of the Master Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currency amounts and investments denominated in a foreign currency, if any, are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at current exchange rates on the valuation date. Purchases and sales of investments denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at the exchange rate on the respective dates of such transactions. The Master Fund does not segregate the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from 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 and foreign currency translations reported in the accompanying Statement of Operations and Statements of Changes in Partners’ Capital.

(f) DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

All open derivative positions at period-end, if any, are presented in the Master Fund’s Schedule of Investments. The Investment Funds may have directly engaged in derivative transactions during the period. The following is a description of the derivative instruments the Master Fund utilizes as part of its investment strategy, including the primary underlying risk exposures related to each instrument type.

● OPTIONS CONTRACTS—The Master Fund may invest in options contracts to speculate on the price movements of a financial instrument or for use as an economic hedge against certain positions held in the Master Fund’s portfolio. Options contracts purchased give the Master Fund the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell the underlying instrument for a specified price upon exercise at any time during the option period. Options contracts written obligate the Master Fund to buy or sell the underlying instrument for a

49

SALIENT PRIVATE ACCESS MASTER FUND, L.P.
(A Limited Partnership)

Notes to Financial Statements, continued

specified price upon exercise at any time during the option period. When the Master Fund writes an options contract, an amount equal to the premium received by the Master Fund is recorded as a liability and is subsequently adjusted to the current fair value of the option contract written.

● FORWARD FOREIGN CURRENCY EXCHANGE CONTRACTS—The Master Fund may enter into forward foreign currency exchange contracts in connection with its investment objective in order to gain more or less exposure to foreign currencies. The forward foreign currency exchange contracts are adjusted by the daily exchange rate of the underlying currency and any gains or losses are recorded for financial statement purposes as unrealized gains or losses until the contract settlement date. The Master Fund could be exposed to risks if the counterparties to the contracts are unable to meet the terms of their contracts and from unanticipated movements in the value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar. The Master Fund remains subject to credit risk with respect to the amount it expects to receive from counterparties. However, the Master Fund has sought to mitigate these risks by generally requiring the posting of collateral at prearranged exposure levels to cover its exposure to the counterparty.

● FUTURES CONTRACTS—The Master Fund may invest in futures contracts as part of its hedging strategy to manage exposure to interest rate, equity and market price movements, and commodity prices. A futures contract represents a commitment for the future purchase or sale of an asset at a specified price on a specified date. The underlying asset is not physically delivered. Futures contracts are valued at their quoted daily settlement prices. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Master Fund is required to segregate liquid assets in accordance with the initial margin requirements of the clearinghouse to secure the Master Fund’s performance. The clearinghouse also requires daily settlement of variation margin representing changes in the value of each contract. Fluctuations in the value of the contracts are recorded as unrealized appreciation/depreciation until the contracts are closed, when they are recorded as net realized gain (loss) from futures contracts. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are imperfect correlation between changes in fair values of the underlying assets and the prices of futures contracts, and the possibility of an illiquid market. Counterparty risk involving futures is mitigated because a regulated clearinghouse is the counterparty.

● SWAP AGREEMENTS—The Master Fund may invest in swap agreements, primarily credit default and total return swap agreements, as a part of its hedging strategy to manage credit and market risks.

A credit default swap agreement gives one party (the buyer) the right to recoup the economic value of a decline in the value of debt securities of the reference issuer if a credit event (a downgrade, bankruptcy or default) occurs. This value is obtained by delivering a debt security of the reference issuer to the party in return for a previously agreed upon payment from the other party (frequently, the par value of the debt security) or receipt of a net amount equal to the par value of the defaulted reference entity less its recovery value. The Master Fund is usually a net seller of credit default swap agreements.

The Master Fund as a seller of a credit default swap agreement would have the obligation to pay the par (or other agreed-upon) value of a referenced debt obligation to the counterparty in the event of a default or other credit event by the reference issuer with respect to its debt obligations. In return, the Master Fund would receive from the counterparty a periodic stream of payments over the term of the agreement provided that no event of default or other credit event has occurred. If no default or other credit event occurs, the Master Fund would keep the stream of payments and would have no further obligations to the counterparty. As a seller, the Master Fund is subject to investment exposure on the notional amount of the swap agreement.

A total return swap agreement is a bilateral financial contract agreement where one party (the payer) agrees to pay the other (the receiver) the total return on a specified asset or index in exchange for a fixed or floating rate of return. A total return swap agreement allows the receiver or payer to derive the economic benefit of owning or having short exposure to an asset without owning or shorting the underlying asset directly. The receiver is entitled to the amount, if any, by which the notional amount of the total return swap agreement would have increased in value had it been invested in the particular instruments, plus an amount equal to any dividends or interest that would have been received on those instruments. In return, the payer is entitled to an amount equal to a fixed or floating rate of interest (e.g., a LIBOR based rate) on the notional amount of the swap agreement plus the amount, if any, by which the notional amount would have decreased in value had it been invested in such instruments, less any dividends or interest. The amounts to which each party is entitled are normally netted against each other, at periodic settlement dates, resulting in a single amount that is either due to or from each party.

In addition to being exposed to the credit risk of the underlying reference entity, swap agreements are subject to counterparty risk, market risk and interest rate risk. Swap agreements utilized by the Master Fund may not perform as expected. Risks may arise as a result of the failure of the counterparty to perform under the agreement. The loss incurred by the failure of a counterparty is generally limited to the market value and premium amounts recorded. The Master Fund considers the creditworthiness of each counterparty to a swap agreement in evaluating potential credit risk, and will not enter into any swap agreement unless the Adviser believes the counterparty to the transaction is creditworthy. Additionally, risks may arise from the unanticipated movements in interest rates or in the value of the underlying reference assets. The Master Fund may use various techniques to minimize credit risk including early termination or reset and payment. Collateral, in the form of cash, is held in broker segregated accounts for swap agreements. There were no derivative instruments held by the Master Fund as of December 31, 2020.

The following is a summary of the effect of derivative instruments on the Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2020:

(g) COLLATERALIZED LOAN OBLIGATIONS

The Master Fund’s CLO equity investments involves a number of significant risks. CLO equity investments are typically very highly leveraged (nine to thirteen times) and therefore the equity tranches in which the Master Fund is currently invested are subject to a higher degree of risk of total loss. The Master Fund generally has the right to receive payments only from the CLO, and generally does not have the direct rights against the underlying borrowers or the entity that sponsored the CLO. The Master Fund indirectly bears the risks of the underlying loan investments or collateral held by the CLO. If an underlying asset of a CLO declines in price or fails to pay interest or principal when due because the issuer or debtor, as the case may be, experiences a decline in its financial status either or both of the Master Fund’s income and NAV may be adversely impacted.

(h) CFTC REGULATION

On August 13, 2013, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”) adopted rules to harmonize conflicting Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and CFTC disclosure, reporting and recordkeeping requirements for RIC’s that do not meet an exemption from the definition of commodity pool. The harmonization rules provide that the CFTC will accept the SEC’s disclosure, reporting, and recordkeeping regime as substituted compliance for substantially all of the otherwise applicable CFTC regulations as long as such investment companies meet the applicable SEC requirements.

Previously, in November 2012, the CFTC issued relief for fund of fund operators, including advisers to RIC’s, that may otherwise be required to register with the CFTC as commodity pool operators but do not have access to information from the investment funds in which they are invested in order to determine whether such registration is required. This relief delayed the registration date for such operators until the later of June 30, 2013 or six months from the date the CFTC issues revised guidance on the application of certain thresholds with respect to investments in commodities held by funds of funds. In December 2012, the Master Fund filed as required with the CFTC in order to claim this no-action relief, which was effective upon receipt of the filing. Although the CFTC now has adopted harmonization rules applicable to investment companies that are deemed to be commodity pools, the CFTC has not yet issued guidance on how funds of funds are to determine whether they are deemed to be commodity pools. As of December 31, 2020, the Master Fund is not considered a commodity pool and continues to rely on the fund of fund no-action relief.

(i) INVESTMENT INCOME

For investments in securities, dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, net of withholding taxes. Interest income is recorded as earned on the accrual basis and includes amortization of premiums or accretion of discounts.

(j) FUND EXPENSES

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; compliance fees; accounting, auditing and tax preparation fees; recordkeeping and custodial fees; costs of computing the Master Fund’s net asset value; fees for data and software providers; research expenses; costs of insurance; registration expenses; offering costs; expenses of meetings of partners; directors fees; all costs with respect to communications to partners; transfer taxes; offshore withholding 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.

(k) INCOME TAXES

The Master Fund is organized and operates as a limited partnership and is not subject to income taxes as a separate entity. Such taxes are the responsibility of the individual partners. Accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been made in the Master Fund’s financial statements. Investments in foreign securities may result in foreign taxes being withheld by the issuer of such securities. For U.S. offshore withholding tax, the Master Fund serves as withholding agent for its offshore feeder funds.

For the current open tax years, and for all major jurisdictions, management of the Master Fund has evaluated 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 by the Master Fund upon challenge by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold and 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 period. For the year ended December 31, 2020, the Master Fund did not recognize any amounts for unrecognized tax benefit/expense. A reconciliation of unrecognized tax benefit/expense is not provided herein, as the beginning and ending amounts of unrecognized tax benefit/expense are zero, with no interim additions, reductions or settlements. Tax positions taken in tax years which remain open under the statute of limitations (generally three years for federal income tax purposes and four years for state income tax purposes) are subject to examination by federal and state tax jurisdictions.

(l) USE OF ESTIMATES

The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP, which requires management to make estimates and assumptions relating to the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates and such differences may be significant.

(3) FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The Master Fund defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions.

The inputs used to determine the fair value of the Master Fund’s investments are summarized in the three broad levels listed in the fair value hierarchy below:

● Level 1—unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical investments and registered investment companies where the value per share (unit) is determined and published and is the basis for current transactions for identical assets or liabilities at the valuation date

● Level 2—investments with other significant observable inputs

● Level 3—investments with significant unobservable inputs (which may include the Master Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the fair value hierarchy. The Master Fund discloses transfers between levels based on valuations at the end of the reporting period. The inputs or methodology used for valuing investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those investments.

The Master Fund establishes valuation processes and procedures to ensure that the valuation techniques for investments categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy are fair, consistent, and appropriate. The Adviser is responsible for developing the Master Fund’s written valuation processes and procedures, conducting periodic reviews of the

53

SALIENT PRIVATE ACCESS MASTER FUND, L.P.

Notes to Financial Statements, continued
December 31, 2020

valuation policies, and evaluating the overall fairness and consistent application of the valuation policies. The Board Valuation Committee has authorized the Adviser to oversee the implementation of the Board approved valuation procedures by the Administrator. The Adviser Valuation Committee is comprised of various Master Fund personnel, which include members from the Master Fund’s portfolio management and operations groups. The Adviser Valuation Committee meets monthly or as needed, to determine the valuations of the Master Fund’s Level 3 investments. The valuations are supported by methodologies employed by the Investment Funds’ market data, industry accepted third party valuation models, or other methods the Adviser Valuation Committee deems to be appropriate, including the use of internal proprietary valuation models.

The following is a summary categorization of the Master Fund’s investments based on the level of inputs utilized in determining the value of such investments as of December 31, 2020 and assets valued at NAV as practical expedient are listed in a separate column to permit reconciliation to the totals in the financial statements:

A reconciliation of assets in which Level 3 inputs are used in determining fair value, along with additional quantitative disclosures, are presented when there are significant Level 3 investments at the end of the period. As of December 31, 2020, there was not a significant amount of Level 3 investments in the Master Fund.

The Master Fund is permitted to invest in alternative investments that may not have a readily determinable fair value. For an investment that does not have a readily determinable fair value, the Master Fund uses the NAV reported by the Investment Fund as a practical expedient, without further adjustment, unless it is probable that the investment will be sold at a value significantly different than the reported NAV. If the practical expedient NAV is not as of the reporting entity’s measurement date, then the NAV is adjusted to reflect any significant events that would materially affect the value of the investment and the NAV of the Master Fund as of the valuation date.

Certain Investment Funds in which the Master Fund invests have limitations on liquidity which may result in limitations on redemptions including, but not limited to, early redemption fees. Other than Investment Funds that are self-liquidating, such as Private Equity and some Energy, Natural Resources and Real Estate Funds, the Investment Funds in which the Master Fund invests have withdrawal rights ranging from monthly to annually, after a notice period, usually for a period of up to two years from the date of the initial investment or an additional investment.

(a) This category includes Investment Funds that invest primarily in privately issued securities by companies in the energy and natural resources sectors and private investments in energy-related assets or companies. The Investment Funds include private funds and private partnerships with private investments in their portfolios.

(b) This category includes Investment Funds that invest primarily in the following securities: common stock, preferred stock, and many types of debt. Events include mergers, acquisitions, restructurings, spin-offs, and litigation.

(c) This category includes Investment Funds that invest in global markets and across all security types including equities, fixed income, derivatives, commodities, currencies, futures, and exchange-traded funds. Investment Funds in this category are typically private funds and may include global macro funds, and commodity trading advisors.

(d) This category includes private equity funds that invest primarily in non-publicly traded companies in need of capital. These Investment Funds may vary widely as to sector, size, stage, duration, and liquidity. Certain of these Investment Funds may also focus on the secondary market, buying interests in existing private equity funds, often at a discount.

(e) This category includes Investment Funds that invest in registered investment companies or managers that invest in real estate trusts (commonly known as “REITs”) and private partnerships that make investments in income producing properties, raw land held for development or appreciation, and various types of mortgage loans and common or preferred stock whose operations involve real estate.

(f) This category includes Investment Funds with low net exposure to most financial markets. Underlying strategies include Equity Market Neutral or Statistical Arbitrage, Capital Structure Arbitrage, Convertible Arbitrage, Volatility Arbitrage, and Credit Arbitrage.

The Adviser monitors Investment Fund capital call activity and reviews regularly the Master Fund’s cash positions and anticipated activity, including planning any necessary redemptions of Investment Funds and the possible use of a credit facility, so that the Fund may cover any funding call by Investment Funds.

The following is a summary of the fair value as percentage of partners’ capital, and liquidity provisions for Investment Funds constituting greater than 5% of the Master Fund’s partners’ capital as of December 31, 2020:

(4) PARTNERS’ CAPITAL ACCOUNTS

(a) ISSUANCE OF INTERESTS

Upon receipt from an eligible investor of an initial or additional application for interests (the “Interests”), which will generally be accepted as of the first day of each month, the Master Fund will issue new Interests. The Interests have not been registered under the Securities Act, or the securities laws of any state. The Master Fund issues Interests only

56

SALIENT PRIVATE ACCESS MASTER FUND, L.P.
(A Limited Partnership)

Notes to Financial Statements, continued
December 31, 2020

in private placement transactions in accordance with Regulation D or other applicable exemptions under the Securities Act. No public market exists for the Interests, and none is expected to develop. The Master Fund is not required, and does not intend, to hold annual meetings of its partners. The Interests are subject to substantial restrictions on transferability and resale and may not be transferred or resold except as permitted under the Master Fund’s limited partnership agreement. The Master Fund reserves the right to reject any applications for subscription of Interests.

(b) ALLOCATION OF PROFITS AND LOSSES

For each fiscal period, generally monthly, net profits or net losses of the Master Fund are allocated among and credited to or debited against the capital accounts of all partners as of the last day of each fiscal period in accordance with the partners’ respective capital account ownership percentage for the fiscal period. Net profits or net losses are measured as the net change in the value of the partners’ capital of the Master Fund, including any change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation of investments and income, net of expenses, and realized gains or losses during a fiscal period. Net profits or net losses are allocated after giving effect for any initial or additional applications for Interests, which generally occur at the beginning of the month, or any repurchases of Interests.

(c) REPURCHASE OF INTERESTS

A partner will not be eligible to have the Master Fund repurchase all or any portion of an Interest at the partner’s discretion at any time. Periodically, the Adviser recommends to the Board that the Master Fund offer to repurchase Interests during the year, pursuant to written tenders by partners.

During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Master Fund completed four quarterly tender offers to repurchase Interests in the Master Fund. The Board approved each tender offer to repurchase 2.5% of outstanding Interest in the Master Fund as recommended by the Adviser.

The Board retains the sole discretion to accept or reject the recommendation of the Adviser and to determine the amount of Interests, if any, that will be purchased in any tender offer that it does approve. In the event Interests are repurchased, there will be a substantial period of time between the date as of which partners must accept the Master Fund’s offer to repurchase their Interests and the date they can expect to receive payment for their Interests from the Master Fund.

(5) INVESTMENTS IN PORTFOLIO SECURITIES

(a) INVESTMENT ACTIVITY

As of December 31, 2020 the Master Fund held investments in Investment Funds and securities. The agreements related to investments in Investment Funds provide for compensation to the Investment Funds’ managers/general partners or advisers in the form of management fees. In addition, many Investment Funds also provide for performance incentive fees/allocations of an Investment Fund’s net profits. These management fees and incentive fees are in addition to the management fees charged by the Master Fund.

For the year ended December 31, 2020, the aggregate cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investments (excluding short-term investments) were $15,775,944 and $39,564,388 respectively.

The cost of the Master Fund’s underlying investments for Federal income tax purposes is adjusted for items of taxable income allocated to the Master Fund from such investments. The allocated taxable income is generally reported to the Master Fund by its underlying investments on Schedules K-1, Forms 1099 or PFIC statements, or a combination thereof.

Notes to Financial Statements, continued
December 31, 2020

The underlying investments generally do not provide the Master Fund with tax reporting information until well after year end, and as a result, the Master Fund is unable to calculate the year end tax cost of its investments until such time. The Master Fund’s book cost of investments and securities as of December 31, 2020 was $199,849,013 resulting in accumulated net unrealized appreciation of $8,327,707 consisting of $76,804,969 in gross unrealized appreciation and $(68,477,262) in gross unrealized depreciation.

(b) AFFILIATED INVESTMENTS

As of December 31, 2020, certain of the Master Fund’s investments were deemed to be investments in affiliated issuers under the 1940 Act, primarily because the Master Fund owns 5% or more of the investment’s total capital. The activity resulting from investments in these investments, including interest and dividend income as well as realized gains and losses, is identified in the Statement of Operations as transactions with affiliated investments. A listing of these affiliated investments (including activity during year ended December 31, 2020) is shown below:

(6) FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK

In the normal course of business, the Investment Funds in which the Master Fund invests may trade various derivative securities and other financial instruments, and may enter into various investment activities with off-balance sheet risk both as an investor and as a principal. The Master Fund’s risk of loss in these Investment Funds is limited to the value of its investment in such Investment Funds. In addition, by investing directly in derivative instruments, the Master Fund is subject to credit risk with respect to the net amount expected to be received from the other party. The Master Fund may be negatively impacted if the other party defaults or fails to perform its obligations under such agreement.

(7) ADMINISTRATION AGREEMENT

In consideration for administrative, accounting, and recordkeeping services, the Master Fund pays the Administrator a monthly administration fee based on the month-end partners’ capital. The Master Fund is charged, on an annual basis, 6 basis points on partners’ capital of up to $2 billion, 5 basis points on partners’ capital between the amounts of $2 billion and $5 billion, 2 basis points on partners’ capital between the amounts of $5 billion and $15 billion, and 1.25 basis points for amounts over $15 billion. The administration fee is payable monthly in arrears. The Administrator also provides compliance, transfer agency, and other investor related services at an additional cost. The total administration fee incurred for the year ended December 31, 2020, was $158,332.

(8) RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

(a) INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT FEE

In consideration of the advisory and other services provided by the Adviser to the Master Fund pursuant to the Investment Management Agreement, the Master Fund pays the Adviser an investment management fee (the “Investment Management Fee”), equal to 1.00% on an annualized basis of the Master Fund’s partners’ capital calculated based on the Master Fund’s partners’ capital at the end of each month, payable quarterly in arrears. The Investment Management Fee decreases the net profits or increases the net losses of the Master Fund that are credited to or debited against the capital accounts of its partners. For the year ended December 31, 2020, $2,077,068 was incurred for Investment Management Fees.

(b) PLACEMENT AGENTS

The Adviser or its affiliates may pay a fee out of their own resources to Placement Agents and sub-placement agents. As of December 31, 2020, the two largest non-affiliated sub-placement agents service approximately 45.11% of the feeder funds assets which are invested in the Master Fund. To the extent that substantial numbers of investors have a relationship with a particular sub-placement agent, such sub-placement agent may have the ability to influence investor behavior, which may affect the Master Fund.

(9) FUND BORROWING

As a fundamental policy, the Master Fund may borrow up to, but not more than, 25% of the partners’ capital of the Master Fund (at the time such borrowings were made and after taking into account the investment and/or deployment of such proceeds) for the purpose of making investments, funding redemptions and for other working capital and general Master Fund purposes. For purposes of the Master Fund’s investment restrictions and certain investment limitations under the 1940 Act, including for example, the Master Fund’s leverage limitations, the Master Fund will not “look through” Investment Funds in which the Master Fund invests. Investment Funds may also use leverage, whether through borrowings, futures, or other derivative products and are not subject to the Master Fund’s investment restrictions. However, such borrowings by Investment Funds are without recourse to the Master Fund and the Master Fund’s risk of loss is limited to its investment in such Investment Funds, other than for some Investment Funds in which the Master Fund has made a capital commitment, for which the risk of loss is limited to the Master Fund’s total capital commitment. For some Investment Funds in which the Master Fund has made a capital commitment that will be funded over a period of time, such as private equity, private energy and real estate funds, the Master Fund, in certain instances, may commit to fund more than its initial capital commitment. The rights of any lenders to the Master Fund to receive payments of interest or repayments of principal will be senior to those of the partners, and the terms of any borrowings may contain provisions that limit certain activities of the Master Fund.

The Master Fund entered into a line of credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Credit Suisse AG on August 1, 2018. Effective July 29, 2020, the Credit Agreement was extended for an additional one year term expiring on July 28, 2021. The terms of the Credit Agreement provide a $12,500,000 secured revolving credit facility. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement are secured by all of the Master Fund’s investments, cash and cash equivalents. The Credit Agreement provides for a commitment fee of 0.85% per annum on unused capacity plus interest accruing on any borrowed amounts at the three month London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus 1.85% per annum as defined in the Credit Agreement. The average principal balance and weighted average interest rate for the year ended December 31, 2020, was approximately $13,788,251 and 3.16% respectively. At December 31, 2020, the principal balance outstanding was $7,750,000 at an interest rate of 2.85%.

An investor’s return (and operating ratios) may vary from those reflected based on the timing of capital transactions.

(1) Ratios are calculated by dividing the indicated amount by average partners’ capital measured at the end of each month during the year.

(2) Expense ratios do not include expenses of acquired funds that are paid indirectly by the Master Fund as a result of its ownership in the underlying funds.

(3) The total return of the Master Fund is calculated as geometrically linked monthly returns for each month in the year.

(11) INVESTMENT RELATED RISKS

All securities investing and trading activities risk the loss of capital. No assurance can be given that the Master Fund’s or any Investment Fund’s investment activities will be successful or that the Partners will not suffer losses.

In general, these principal risks exist whether the investment is made by an Investment Fund or held by the Master Fund directly and therefore for convenience purposes, the description of such risks in terms of an Investment Fund is intended to include the same risks for investments made directly by the Master Fund. It is possible that an Investment Fund (or the Master Fund) will make (or hold) an investment that is not described below, and any such investment will be subject to its own particular risks. For purposes of this discussion, references to the activities of the Investment Funds should generally be interpreted to include the activities of an Investment Manager. The risks and considerations described below are intended to reflect the Master Fund’s anticipated holdings.

SALIENT PRIVATE ACCESS MASTER FUND, L.P.

Notes to Financial Statements, continued
December 31, 2020

(a) HIGHLY VOLATILE MARKETS RISK

The prices of an Investment Fund’s investments, and therefore the NAV of the Master Fund’s Interests, can be highly volatile. Price movements of forward contracts, futures contracts and other derivative contracts in which an Investment Fund may invest are influenced by, among other things, interest rates, changing supply and demand relationships, trade, fiscal, monetary and exchange control programs and policies of governments, and national and international political and economic events and policies. In addition, governments from time to time intervene, directly and by regulation, in certain markets, particularly those in currencies, financial instruments and interest rate-related futures and options. Such intervention often is intended directly to influence prices and may, together with other factors, cause all of such markets to move rapidly in the same direction because of, among other things, interest rate fluctuations. Moreover, since internationally there may be less government supervision and regulation of worldwide stock exchanges and clearinghouses than in the U.S., Investment Funds also are subject to the risk of the failure of the exchanges on which their positions trade or of their clearinghouses, and there may be a higher risk of financial irregularities and/or lack of appropriate risk monitoring and controls.

(b) NON-U.S. INVESTMENT RISK

Investment Funds may invest in securities of non-U.S. issuers and the governments of non-U.S. countries. These investments involve special risks not usually associated with investing in securities of U.S. companies or the U.S. government, including political and economic considerations, such as greater risks of expropriation and nationalization, confiscatory taxation, the potential difficulty of repatriating funds, general social, political and economic instability and adverse diplomatic developments; the possibility of the imposition of withholding or other taxes on dividends, interest, capital gain or other income; the small size of the securities markets in such countries and the low volume of trading, resulting in potential lack of liquidity and in price volatility; fluctuations in the rate of exchange between currencies and costs associated with currency conversion; and certain government policies that may restrict the Investment Funds’ investment opportunities. In addition, because non-U.S. entities are not subject to uniform accounting, auditing, and financial reporting standards, practices and requirements comparable with those applicable to U.S. companies, there may be different types of, and lower quality, information available about a non-U.S. company than a U.S. company. There is also less regulation, generally, of the securities markets in many foreign countries than there is in the U.S., and such markets may not provide the same protections available in the U.S. With respect to certain countries there may be the possibility of political, economic or social instability, the imposition of trading controls, import duties or other protectionist measures, various laws enacted for the protection of creditors, greater risks of nationalization or diplomatic developments which could materially adversely affect the Investment Funds’ investments in those countries. Furthermore, individual economies may differ favorably or unfavorably from the U.S. economy in such respects as growth of gross national product, rate of inflation, capital reinvestment, resource self-sufficiency, and balance of payments position. An Investment Fund’s investment in non-U.S. countries may also be subject to withholding or other taxes, which may be significant and may reduce the Investment Fund’s returns.

Brokerage commissions, custodial services and other costs relating to investment in international securities markets generally are more expensive than in the U.S. In addition, clearance and settlement procedures may be different in foreign countries and, in certain markets, such procedures have been unable to keep pace with the volume of securities transactions, thus making it difficult to conduct such transactions.

Investment in sovereign debt obligations of non-U.S. governments involves additional risks not present in debt obligations of corporate issuers and the U.S. government. The issuer of the debt or the governmental authorities that control the repayment of the debt may be unable or unwilling to repay principal or pay interest when due in accordance with the terms of such debt, and an Investment Fund may have limited recourse to compel payment in the event of a default. A sovereign debtor’s willingness or ability to repay principal and to pay interest in a timely

61

SALIENT PRIVATE ACCESS MASTER FUND, L.P.
(A Limited Partnership)

Notes to Financial Statements, continued
December 31, 2020

manner may be affected by, among other factors, its cash flow situation, the extent of its foreign currency reserves, the availability of sufficient foreign exchange on the date a payment is due, the relative size of the debt service burden to the economy as a whole, the sovereign debtor’s policy toward international lenders, and the political constraints to which the sovereign debtor may be subject. Periods of economic uncertainty may result in the volatility of market prices of sovereign debt to a greater extent than the volatility inherent in debt obligations of other types of issues.

(c) INVESTMENT IN EMERGING MARKETS RISK

The Master Fund may hold investments in Investment Funds that focus on “emerging markets” (defined below), and the Adviser anticipates that this will continue. Investment Funds may invest in securities of companies based in emerging markets or issued by the governments of such countries. Securities traded in certain emerging markets may be subject to risks due to the inexperience of financial intermediaries, the lack of modern technology, the lack of a sufficient capital base to expand business operations, and the possibility of temporary or permanent termination of trading. Political and economic structures in many emerging markets may be undergoing significant evolution and rapid development, and emerging markets may lack the social, political and economic stability characteristics of more developed countries. As a result, the risks relating to investments in foreign securities described above, including the possibility of nationalization or expropriation, may be heightened. In addition, certain countries may restrict or prohibit investment opportunities in issuers or industries deemed important to national interests. Such restrictions may affect the market price, liquidity and rights of securities that may be purchased by Investment Funds. Settlement mechanisms in emerging securities markets may be less efficient and less reliable than in more developed markets and placing securities with a custodian or broker-dealer in an emerging country also may present considerable risks. The small size of securities markets in such countries and the low volume of trading may result in a lack of liquidity and in substantially greater price volatility. Many emerging market countries have experienced substantial, and in some periods extremely high rates of inflation for many years. Inflation and rapid fluctuations in inflation rates and corresponding currency devaluations and fluctuations in the rate of exchange between currencies and costs associated with currency conversion have had and may continue to have negative effects on the economies and securities markets of certain emerging market countries. In addition, accounting and financial reporting standards that prevail in certain of such countries are not equivalent to standards in more developed countries and, consequently, less information is available to investors in companies located in such countries.

(d) FIXED INCOME RISK

Certain types of fixed income securities and other credit instruments may be subject to heightened liquidity risk arising from the credit crisis beginning in 2007. Such investments include collateralized debt obligations, high-yield bonds, debt issued in leveraged buyout transactions, mortgage and asset-backed securities, and short-term asset-backed commercial paper, which became very illiquid in the latter half of 2007, and that, in many cases, have remained illiquid or relatively illiquid. General market uncertainty and consequent re-pricing of risk led to market imbalances between sellers and buyers, which in turn resulted in significant valuation uncertainties in mortgage and credit-related securities and other instruments. These conditions resulted, and in many cases continue to result in, greater volatility, less liquidity, widening credit spreads and a lack of price transparency, with many instruments remaining illiquid and of uncertain value. Such market conditions and the above factors may increase the level of difficulty encountered in valuing such securities and other credit instruments which could result in sudden and significant valuation increases or declines in the NAV of the Master Fund.

62

SALIENT PRIVATE ACCESS MASTER FUND, L.P.
(A Limited Partnership)

Notes to Financial Statements, continued
December 31, 2020

(e) FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS AND EXCHANGE RISK

Investment Funds may invest in equity and equity-related securities denominated in non-U.S. currencies and in other financial instruments, the price of which is determined with reference to such currencies. Investment Funds may engage in foreign currency transactions for a variety of purposes, including to “lock in” the U.S. dollar price of the security, between the trade and the settlement dates, the value of a security an Investment Fund has agreed to buy or sell, or to hedge the U.S. dollar value of securities the Investment Fund already owns. The Investment Funds also may engage in foreign currency transactions for non-hedging purposes to generate returns. The Master Fund will, however, value its investments and other assets in U.S. dollars. To the extent unhedged, the value of the Master Fund’s net assets will fluctuate with U.S. dollar exchange rates as well as with price changes of an Investment Fund’s investments in the various local markets and currencies. Forward currency contracts and options may be utilized by Investment Funds to hedge against currency fluctuations, but the Investment Funds are not required to utilize such techniques, and there can be no assurance that such hedging transactions will be available or, even if undertaken, effective.

(f) CONVERGENCE RISK

The Master Fund will hold Investment Funds whose Investment Managers take long positions in securities believed to be undervalued and short positions in securities believed to be overvalued. In the event that the perceived mispricings underlying one or more Investment Managers’ trading positions were to fail to converge toward, or were to diverge further from, relationships expected by such Investment Managers, the Master Fund may incur significant losses.

(g) CORPORATE EVENT RISK

Substantial transaction failure risks are involved in companies that are the subject of publicly disclosed mergers, takeover bids, exchange offers, tender offers, spin-offs, liquidations, corporate restructuring, and other similar transactions. Similarly, substantial risks are involved in investments in companies facing negative publicity or uncertain litigation. Thus, there can be no assurance that any expected transaction will take place, that negative publicity will not continue to affect a company or that litigation will be resolved in a company’s favor. Certain transactions are dependent on one or more factors to become effective, such as market conditions which may lead to unexpected positive or negative changes in a company profile, shareholder approval, regulatory and various other third party constraints, changes in earnings or business lines or shareholder activism as well as many other factors. No assurance can be given that the transactions entered into will result in a profitable investment for the Investment Funds or that the Investment Funds will not incur substantial losses.

(h) ISSUER RISK

The issuers of securities acquired by Investment Funds sometimes involve a high degree of business and financial risk. These companies may be in an early stage of development, may not have a proven operating history, may be operating at a loss or have significant variations in operating results, may be engaged in a rapidly changing business with products subject to a substantial risk of obsolescence, may require substantial additional capital to support their operations, to finance expansion or to maintain their competitive position, or may otherwise have a weak financial condition.

Issuers of securities acquired by Investment Funds may be highly leveraged. Leverage may have important adverse consequences to these companies and an Investment Fund as an investor. These companies may be subject to restrictive financial and operating covenants. The leverage may impair these companies’ ability to finance their future

63

SALIENT PRIVATE ACCESS MASTER FUND, L.P.
(A Limited Partnership)

Notes to Financial Statements, continued
December 31, 2020

operations and capital needs. As a result, these companies’ flexibility to respond to changing business and economic conditions and to business opportunities may be limited. A leveraged company’s income and net assets will tend to increase or decrease at a greater rate than if borrowed money were not used.

In addition, such companies may face intense competition, including competition from companies with greater financial resources, more extensive development, manufacturing, marketing, and other capabilities, and a larger number of qualified managerial and technical personnel.

(i) RECENT MARKET AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTS

Certain impacts to public health conditions particular to the coronavirus (COVID-19) may have a significant negative impact on the operations and profitability of the Fund’s investments. The extent of the impact to the financial performance of the Fund will depend on future developments, including (i) the duration and spread of the outbreak, (ii) the restrictions and advisories, (iii) the effects on the financial markets, and (iv) the effects on the economy overall, all of which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted.

(12) PANDEMICS AND ASSOCIATED ECONOMIC DISRUPTION

An outbreak of respiratory disease caused by a novel coronavirus was first detected in China in late 2019 and subsequently spread internationally. This coronavirus has resulted in closing borders, enhanced health screenings, healthcare service preparation and delivery, quarantines, cancellations, disruptions to supply chains and customer activity, as well as general anxiety and economic uncertainty. It is not known how long any negative impacts, or any future impacts of other significant events such as a substantial economic downturn, will last. Health crises caused by outbreaks of disease, such as the coronavirus outbreak, may exacerbate other pre-existing political, social and economic risks. This outbreak, and other epidemics and pandemics that may arise in the future, could negatively affect the global economy, as well as the economies of individual countries, individual companies and the market in general in significant and unforeseen ways. For example, a widespread health crisis such as a global pandemic could cause substantial market volatility, exchange trading suspensions and closures, impact the Funds ability to complete repurchase requests, and affect Fund performance. Any such impact could adversely affect the Funds performance, the performance of the securities in which the Funds invests, lines of credit available to the Funds and may lead to losses on your investment in the Funds. In addition, the increasing interconnectedness of markets around the world may result in many markets being affected by events or conditions in a single country or region or events affecting a single or small number of issuers.

(13) SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Based on the partners’ capital of the Master Fund, the Adviser recommended to the Board that a tender offer to repurchase interests in an amount of up to $5,081,300 be made for the quarter ending March 31, 2021 to those partners who elect to tender their Interests prior to the expiration of the tender offer period. The Board approved such recommendation and partners in the Master Fund were notified of a tender offer with a March 3, 2021 expiration date (“Expiration Date”). In response to the number of partners electing to tender their Interests as of the Expiration Date, which amounted to approximately $20 million in gross redemptions as of February 19, 2021, the Adviser, in its discretion, will pro-rate the amount elected to be tendered in accordance with the Master Fund’s repurchase procedures. The final amount that is accepted by the Master Fund will appear in the next report to partners.

Board Consideration of the Investment Management Agreements

At a virtual meeting of the Board held on October 22, 2020, the Board, including the Directors who are not “interested persons” as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“Independent Directors”), considered and approved the continuation of the Investment Management Agreement between the Master Fund and the Adviser (the “Advisory Agreement”). In preparation for review of the Advisory Agreement, the Board requested the Adviser to provide detailed information which the Board determined to be reasonably necessary to evaluate the agreement. The Independent Directors also met in executive session to review and discuss aspects of these materials. At the request of the Independent Directors, the Adviser made presentations regarding the materials and responded to questions from the Independent Directors relating to, among other things, portfolio management, the Master Fund’s investment programs, Master Fund’s and Adviser’s compliance programs, Adviser staffing and management changes, Master Fund performance including benchmarks and comparisons to other funds, Master Fund fee levels, other portfolios (including fees) managed by the Adviser and its affiliates and the Adviser’s profitability (including revenue of the Adviser across all of its funds). The Board, including the Independent Directors, also took into consideration information furnished for the Board’s review and consideration throughout the year at regular Board meetings. The Independent Directors were assisted at all times by independent counsel.

Following the Board’s review, the Independent Directors met in executive session and then reported that they had concluded that the Advisory Agreement enables the Fund’s partners to obtain quality services at a cost that is appropriate, reasonable, and in the interests of investors. It also was noted that the Board’s decision to renew the Advisory Agreement was not based on any single factor, but rather was based on a comprehensive consideration of all the information provided to the Board at its meetings throughout the year. Upon consideration of these and other factors, the Board also determined:

The nature, extent and quality of the advisory services provided. With respect to the Advisory Agreement, the Board considered: the Adviser’s continuing focus to increase Fund performance within the scope of the Funds’ investment mandate, the background and experience of key investment personnel; the Adviser’s focus on analysis of complex asset categories and their investment relationships; the Adviser’s disciplined investment approach, including continued new private equity and similar private fund investments, and commitment to investment principles; the Adviser’s investment in and commitment to personnel; the Adviser’s significant compliance and tax reporting efforts, and oversight of operations; and, the Adviser’s oversight of and interaction with service providers.

The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the management and advisory service provided were appropriate and thus supported a decision to renew the Advisory Agreement. The Board also concluded that the Adviser would be able to provide during the coming year management, operational, compliance and related services, and that these services are appropriate in scope and extent.

The investment performance of the Funds. The Board evaluated the comparative information provided by the Adviser regarding the Fund’s investment performance, and noted the Funds’ objective of seeking consistent long-term appreciation across a market cycle, in light of the effect on markets of the existing pandemic, and the uncertainty arising therefrom on private markets. The Board reviewed information on the performance of other registered investment fund of private funds and various indices, including the relevance of various indices. The Board also considered various performance reports received throughout the year. The Board noted challenges and low absolute returns of the Funds and many fund of private funds generally, noting however that the Funds maintained low volatility. The Board concluded that, although difficult based on the unprecedented nature of the causes of market volatility, the Adviser was able to implement its strategies in the context of the effect of a pandemic on nearly all

72

(Unaudited)

markets, and maintain relatively low volatility for the Funds. On the basis of the Directors’ assessment, the Directors concluded that the Adviser was capable of generating a level of long-term investment performance in keeping with the Fund’s investment objective, policies and strategies.

The cost of advisory service provided and the level of profitability. In analyzing the cost of services and profitability of the Adviser, the Board considered the revenues earned and expenses incurred by the Adviser. The Board took into account the maintenance by and cost to the Adviser in personnel and service infrastructure to support the Fund and its investors. On the basis of the Board’s review of the fees to be charged by the Adviser for investment advisory and related services, the unique nature of the Fund’s investment program, the Adviser’s financial information, and the costs associated with managing the Fund, the Board concluded that the level of investment management fees and the profitability of the Adviser are reasonable in light of the services provided, the management fees and overall expense ratios of comparable investment companies, and the overall relationship between the Fund and the Adviser.

The extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Fund grows and whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of Fund investors. While noting that the management fees will not decrease as the level of Fund assets increase, the Board concluded that the management fees reflect the Fund’s complex operations, the current economic environment for the Adviser, including its continued support and monitoring of the Fund, changes that had been implemented, the competitive nature of the investment company market as relevant to the Fund, and the relatively unchanged size of the Fund following the implementation of the 2014 investor choice plan that resulted in dividing of the Fund’s portfolio. The Board noted that it would have the opportunity periodically to re-examine whether the Fund has achieved economies of scale, as well as the appropriateness of management fees payable to the Adviser, in the future.

Benefits (such as soft dollars) to the Adviser from its relationship with the Fund. The Board concluded that other benefits derived by the Adviser from its relationship with the Fund, to the extent such benefits are identifiable or determinable, are reasonable and fair, result from the provision of appropriate services to the Fund and investors therein, and are consistent with industry practice and the best interests of the Fund and its partners. In this regard, the Board noted that the Adviser does not realize “soft dollar” benefits from its relationship with the Fund.

Other considerations. The Board determined that the Adviser has made a continuing and substantial commitment to investment monitoring and investment decision-making and the provision of investor service, and maintained the financial, compliance and operational resources reasonably necessary to manage the Fund in a professional manner that is consistent with the best interests of the Fund and its partners.

At a virtual meeting of the Board held on November 13, 2020, the Board, including the Directors who are not “interested persons” as that term is defined in the 1940 Act, as amended (“Independent Directors”), considered and approved the new Investment Management Agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”) between the Master Fund and the Adviser. In preparation for review of the Advisory Agreement, the Board requested Cypress Creek to provide detailed information which the Board determined to be reasonably necessary to evaluate the agreement. The Independent Directors also met in executive session to review and discuss aspects of these materials. At the request of the Independent Directors, the Adviser made presentations regarding the materials and responded to questions from the Independent Directors relating to, among other things, portfolio management, the Master Fund’s investment programs, the Master Fund’s and the Adviser’s compliance programs, Adviser staffing and management changes, Master Fund performance including benchmarks and comparisons to other funds, Master Fund fee levels, other portfolios (including fees) managed by the Adviser and its affiliates and the Adviser’s profitability (including revenue of the Adviser across all of its funds). The Board, including the Independent Directors, also took into consideration information furnished for the Board’s review and consideration throughout the year at regular Board meetings. The Independent Directors were assisted at all times by independent counsel.

Following the Board’s review, the Independent Directors met in executive session. Following discussion, it was reported that the Independent Directors had discussed the Transaction and concluded that the Advisory Agreement will enable the Master Fund’s partners to obtain high quality services at a cost that is appropriate, reasonable, and in the interests of investors. They stated that the proposed advisory fees were supported by prudent exercise of judgment. It also was noted that the Board’s decision to approve the Advisory Agreement was not based on any single factor, but rather was based on a comprehensive consideration of all the information provided to the Board at its meetings throughout the year. Upon consideration of these and other factors, the Board also determined:

The nature, extent and quality of the advisory services provided.With respect to the Advisory Agreement, the Board considered: Cypress Creek’s representation that the Adviser would continue to focus on the Master Fund’s performance within the scope of the Master Fund’s investment mandate, the background and experience of key investment personnel; Cypress Creek’s focus on analysis of complex asset categories and their investment relationships; Cypress Creek’s proposed disciplined investment approach for the Adviser, including new private equity and similar private fund investments, and commitment to investment principles; Cypress Creek’s investment in and commitment to personnel; the Adviser’s expected compliance and tax reporting efforts, and oversight of operations; and, the Adviser’s intended oversight of and interaction with service providers, as well as the entrepreneurial efforts to occur in conjunction with the Advisory Agreement.

The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the management and advisory services to be provided were appropriate and thus supported a decision to approve the Advisory Agreement. The Board also concluded that the Adviser would be able to provide quality management, operational, compliance and related services, and that these services are appropriate in scope and extent.

The investment performance of the Master Fund.The Board considered the comparative information previously provided by the Adviser regarding the Master Fund’s investment performance, and noted the Master Fund’s objective of seeking consistent long-term appreciation across a market cycle, in light of current equity markets, would continue under the Advisory Agreement. The Board noted that the new personnel that would provide advice under the Advisory Agreement were capable of attaining the Master Fund’s performance goals, and concluded that the Adviser should be able to implement its strategies in the context of variable conditions in numerous markets with lower volatility for the Master Fund. On the basis of the Directors’ assessment, the Directors concluded that the Adviser was capable of generating a level of long-term investment performance in keeping with the Master Fund’s investment objectives, policies and strategies.

The cost of advisory service provided and the level of profitability.In analyzing the cost of services and profitability of the Adviser, the Board considered the revenues earned and expenses incurred by the Adviser and Cypress Creek’s discussion of its anticipation for the same. The Board took into account the maintenance by and cost to the Adviser in personnel and service infrastructure to support the Master Fund and its investors. For the SPA Funds, the Board noted the nature of the performance-based fee under the New Management Agreements, and that any such fee would not take effect until a significant period of transition occurred.

The extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Master Fund grows and whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of the Master Fund investors. Noting that the SPA Fund management fees would decrease as the level of Fund assets increase, the Board concluded that the management fees reflect the Funds’ complex operations, the current economic environment for the Advisor, including anticipated support and monitoring of the Funds, and changes in investment decision-making that were proposed, the competitive nature of the investment company market as relevant to the Funds.

Benefits (such as soft dollars) to the Adviser from its relationship with the Master Fund. The Board concluded that other benefits derived by the Adviser and Cypress Creek from their relationship with the Master Fund, to the extent such benefits are identifiable or determinable, are reasonable and fair, result from the provision of appropriate services to the Master Fund and investors therein, and are consistent with industry practice and the best interests of the Master Fund and its partners.In this regard, the Board noted that the Adviser does not realize “soft dollar” benefits from its relationship with the Master Fund.

Other considerations. The Board determined that Cypress Creek represents it will make a continuing and substantial commitment both to the recruitment and retention of high quality personnel, monitoring and investment decision-making and provision of investor service, and maintained the financial, compliance and operational resources reasonably necessary to manage the Master Fund in a professional manner that is consistent with the best interests of the Master Fund and its partners.

A closed-end management investment company that is filing an annual report on this Form N-CSR must, unless it invests exclusively in non-voting securities, describe the policies and procedures that it uses to determine how to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities, including the procedures that the company uses when a vote presents a conflict between the interests of its shareholders, on the one hand, and those of the company’s investment adviser; principal underwriter; or any affiliated person (as defined in section 2(a)(3) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (15 U.S.C. 80a-2(a)(3)) and the rules thereunder) of the company, its investment adviser, or its principal underwriter, on the other.

Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures

I. Statement of Principle

The Funds seek to assure that proxies received by the Funds are voted in the best interests of the Funds’ stockholders and have accordingly adopted these procedures.

II. Delegation of Proxy Voting/Adoption of Adviser and Sub-Adviser Policies

Except as provided in Section III below, each Fund delegates the authority to vote proxies related to portfolio securities to Endowment Advisers, L.P. (the “Adviser”), as investment adviser to each Fund. For each portion of the Fund’s portfolio managed by a sub-adviser retained to provide day-to-day portfolio management for that portion of the Fund’s portfolio (each, a “Sub-Adviser”), the Adviser in turn may delegate its proxy voting authority to the Sub-Adviser responsible for that portion of the Fund’s portfolio. The Board of Directors of each Fund adopts the proxy voting policies and procedures of the Adviser and Sub-Advisers as the proxy voting policies and procedures that will be used by each of these respective entities when exercising voting authority on behalf of the Fund. These policies and procedures are attached hereto.

III. Retention of Proxy Voting Authority

With respect to proxies issued by the Master Fund, the Feeder Funds do not delegate to the Adviser, but instead retain, their proxy voting authority. After receiving a proxy issued by the Master Fund, the Feeder Fund will hold a meeting of its Partners at which the Partners will vote their Interests to instruct the Feeder Fund to vote for or against the matter presented by the Master Fund. The Feeder Fund will then calculate the proportion of Interests voted for to those voted against (ignoring for purposes of this calculation the Interests for which it receives no voting instructions) and will subsequently vote its Interests in the Master Fund for or against the matter in the same proportion.

IV. Consent in the Event of a Conflict of Interest

If for a particular proxy vote the Adviser or Sub-Adviser seeks a Fund’s consent to vote because of a conflict of interest or for other reasons, any two independent directors of the Fund may provide the Fund’s consent to vote.

V. Annual Review of Proxy Voting Policies of Adviser and Sub-Advisers

The Board of Directors of each Fund will review on an annual basis the proxy voting policies of the Adviser and Sub-Advisers applicable to the Fund.

Dated: March 10, 2004, Revised: October 18, 2011, Revised December 29, 2016

Item 8. Portfolio Managers of Closed-End Management Investment Companies.

As of the date of the filing, Mr. William P. Prather III and Mr. Richard A. Rincon (collectively, “Principals”) are responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund’s portfolio. Salient Private Access Master Fund, L.P. (the “Master Fund”), Salient Private Access Institutional Fund, L.P. (the “Institutional Fund”), Salient Private Access Registered Fund, L.P. (the “Registered Fund”), and Salient Private Access TEI Fund, L.P. (the “TEI Fund”) are registered investment companies (collectively, the “Fund Complex” and each individually the “Fund”).

Mr. Prather is the Principal Executive Officer and a Portfolio Manager of the Fund Complex since 2021. Mr. Prather is a Founding Partner of CCP Operating, LLC (since 2020); Head of Infrastructure and Natural Resources, The University of Texas/Texas A&M Investment Management Company (2014-2019). Mr. Rincon has served as Portfolio Manager of the Fund Complex since 2021. Mr. Rincon is a Founding Partner of CCP Operating, LLC (since 2020); Senior Director, Private Equity, The University of Texas/Texas A&M Investment Management Company (2014-2020).

The Adviser and certain other entities controlled by the Principals may in the future serve as an investment adviser or otherwise manage or direct the investment activities of other registered and/or private investment vehicles with investment programs similar to the Funds.

Other Accounts Managed by the Investment Adviser

Mr. Prather and Mr. Rincon, who are primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund, may also manage other registered investment companies, other pooled investment vehicles and other accounts, as indicated below. The following tables identify, as of December 31, 2020: (i) the number of registered investment companies, other pooled investment vehicles and other accounts managed by Mr. Prather and Mr. Rincon and the total assets of such companies, vehicles and accounts; and (ii) the number and total assets of such companies, vehicles and accounts with respect to which the advisory fee is based on performance.

Conflicts of Interest of the Adviser

From time to time, potential conflicts of interest may arise between a portfolio manager’s management of the investments of the Fund, on the one hand, and the management of other registered investment companies, pooled investment vehicles and other accounts (collectively, “other accounts”), on the other. The other accounts might have similar investment objectives or strategies as the Fund, track the same index the Fund tracks or otherwise hold, purchase, or sell securities that are eligible to be held, purchased or sold by the Fund. The other accounts might also have different investment objectives or strategies than the Fund.

Knowledge and Timing of Fund Trades. A potential conflict of interest may arise as a result of the portfolio manager’s day-to-day management of a Fund. Because of their positions with the Fund, the portfolio managers know the size, timing and possible market impact of the Fund’s trades. It is theoretically possible that the portfolio managers could use this information to the advantage of other accounts they manage and to the possible detriment of the Fund.

Investment Opportunities. A potential conflict of interest may arise as a result of the portfolio manager’s management of a number of accounts with varying investment guidelines. Often, an investment opportunity may be suitable for both the Fund and other accounts managed by the portfolio manager, but may not be available in sufficient quantities for both the Fund and the other accounts to participate fully. Similarly, there may be limited opportunity to sell an investment held by the Fund and other accounts. The Adviser has adopted policies and procedures reasonably designed to allocate investment opportunities on a fair and equitable basis over time.

Performance Fees. A portfolio manager may advise certain accounts with respect to which the advisory fee is based entirely or partially on performance. Performance fee arrangements may create a conflict of interest for the portfolio manager in that they may have an incentive to allocate the investment opportunities that he or she believes might be the most profitable to such other accounts instead of allocating them to the Fund.

Compensation to Portfolio Managers

Mr. Prather and Mr. Rincon, Founding Partners of CCP Operating, LLC, indirectly own equity interests in the Adviser. In addition, Mr. Prather and Mr. Rincon receive compensation based on objective and subjective performance assessments of their work, which may take into account the size of the Master Fund and the other funds within the Fund Complex and the management and servicing fees charged thereon.

Securities Ownership of Portfolio Managers

This Code applies to the Fund’s Principal Executive Officer and President, Principal Financial Officer and Treasurer (the “Covered Officers,” each of whom are set forth in Exhibit A) for the purpose of promoting:

· honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships;

· full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that the Fund files with, or submits to, the SEC and in other public communications made by the Fund;

· compliance with applicable laws and governmental rules and regulations;

· the prompt internal reporting of violations of the Code to an appropriate person or persons identified in the Code; and

· accountability for adherence to the Code.

Each Covered Officer should adhere to a high standard of business ethics and should be sensitive to situations that may give rise to actual as well as apparent conflicts of interest.

II. Covered Officers Should Handle Ethically Actual and Apparent Conflicts of Interest

A “conflict of interest” occurs when a Covered Officer’s private interest interferes with the interests of, or his or her service to, the Fund. For example, a conflict of interest would arise if a Covered Officer receives improper personal benefits as a result of his or her position with the Fund.

Certain conflicts of interest may arise out of the relationships between Covered Officers and the Fund and already are subject to conflict of interest provisions in the Investment Company Act and the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (“Investment Advisers Act”). For example, Covered Officers may not individually engage in certain transactions (such as the purchase or sale of securities or other property) with the Fund because of their status as “affiliated persons” of the Fund. The Fund’s and certain of its service providers’ compliance programs and procedures are designed to prevent, or identify and correct, violations of these provisions. This Code does not, and is not intended to, repeat or replace these programs and procedures, and such conflicts fall outside the parameters of this Code.

Although typically not presenting an opportunity for improper personal benefit, conflicts may arise from, or as a result of, the contractual relationship between the Fund and its investment adviser, placement agent, or administrator (each an “Employer”) of which the Covered Officers may be officers or employees. As a result, this Code recognizes that the Covered Officers will, in the normal course of their duties (whether for the Fund or an Employer), be involved in establishing policies and implementing decisions that will have different effects on the Employer and the Fund. The participation of the Covered Officers in such activities is inherent in the contractual relationships between the Fund and the Employers and is consistent with the performance by the Covered Officers of their duties as officers of the Fund. Thus, if performed in conformity with the provisions of the Investment Company Act and the Investment Advisers Act, such activities normally will be deemed to have been handled ethically. In addition, it is recognized by the Board that the Covered Officers may also be officers or employees of one or more other investment companies covered by this Code or other codes of ethics.

Other conflicts of interest are covered by the Code, even if such conflicts of interest are not subject to provisions in the Investment Company Act and the Investment Advisers Act. The following list provides examples of conflicts of interest under the Code, but Covered Officers should keep in mind that these examples are not exhaustive. The overarching principle is that the personal interest of a Covered Officer should not be placed improperly before the interest of the Fund.

Each Covered Officer must:

· not use his or her personal influence or personal relationships improperly to influence investment decisions or financial reporting by the Fund whereby the Covered Officer would benefit personally to the detriment of the Fund;

· not cause the Fund to take action, or fail to take action, for the individual personal benefit of the Covered Officer rather than the benefit of the Fund;

· not use material non-public knowledge of portfolio transactions made or contemplated for the Fund to trade personally or cause others to trade personally in contemplation of the market effect of such transactions; and

· report at least annually the information elicited in the Fund’s director and officer questionnaire relating to potential conflicts of interest.

There are some conflict of interest situations that must be discussed with the Fund’s Audit Committee if material. Some examples of such situations include:

· service as a director on the board of any company (public or private), other than a management investment company;

· the receipt of any non-nominal gifts;

· the receipt of any entertainment from any company with which the Fund has current or prospective business dealings unless such entertainment is business related, reasonable in cost, appropriate as to time and place, and not so frequent as to raise any question of impropriety;

· any ownership interest in, or any consulting or employment relationship with, any of the Fund’s service providers, other than an Employer or any affiliated person thereof; and

· a direct or indirect financial interest in commissions, transaction charges or spreads paid by the Fund for effecting portfolio transactions or for selling or redeeming shares other than an interest arising from the Covered Officer’s employment, such as compensation or equity ownership.

III. Disclosure and Compliance

Each Covered Officer:

· should familiarize himself or herself with the disclosure requirements generally applicable to the Fund;

· should not knowingly misrepresent, or cause others to misrepresent, facts about the Fund to others, whether within or outside the Fund, including to the Directors and auditors, governmental regulators or self-regulatory organizations;

· should, to the extent appropriate within his or her area of responsibility, consult with other officers and employees of the Fund, the Employers, and other Fund service providers, with the goal of promoting full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in the reports and documents the Fund files with, or submits to, the SEC and in other public communications made by the Fund; and

· has the responsibility to promote compliance with the standards and restrictions imposed by applicable laws, rules and regulations.

IV. Reporting and Accountability by Covered Officers

Each Covered Officer must:

· upon adoption of the Code (or thereafter as applicable, upon becoming a Covered Officer), affirm in writing (in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B) to the Board that he or she has received, read, and understands the Code;

· annually thereafter affirm (in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B) to the Board that he or she has complied with the requirements of the Code;

· not retaliate against any other Covered Officer or any employee or agent of an affiliated person of the Fund for good faith reports of potential violations; and

· notify the Fund’s Audit Committee promptly if he or she knows of any violation of this Code. Failure to do so is itself a violation of this Code.

V. Enforcement

The Audit Committee is responsible for applying this Code to specific situations in which questions are presented under it and has the authority to interpret this Code in any particular situation. Any approvals or waivers sought by a Covered Officer will be considered by the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee is authorized to consult, as appropriate, with counsel to the Fund.

The Fund will follow these procedures in investigating and enforcing this Code:

· The Audit Committee will take all appropriate action to investigate any potential violations reported to the Audit Committee;

· if, after such investigation, the Audit Committee believes that no violation has occurred, the Audit Committee is not required to take any further action;

· any matter that the Audit Committee believes is a material violation will be promptly reported to the Board of Directors of the Fund. The Directors, with the exception of any person whose matter is under consideration for a waiver, shall take such actions as they consider appropriate, including imposition of any sanctions that they consider appropriate;

· no person shall participate in a determination of whether he or she has committed a violation of this Code or in the imposition of any sanction against himself or herself.

· the Audit Committee will be responsible for granting waivers, as appropriate; and

· any amendments to or waivers of this Code will, to the extent required, be disclosed as provided by SEC rules.

VI. Other Policies and Procedures

This Code shall be the sole code of ethics adopted by the Fund for purposes of Section 406 of the Act and the rules and forms applicable to registered investment companies thereunder. Insofar as other policies or procedures of the Fund, the Employers or other service providers govern or purport to govern the behavior or activities of the Covered Officers who are subject to this Code, they are superseded by this Code to the extent that they overlap or conflict with the provisions of this Code. The Fund’s and any Employer’s codes of ethics under Rule 17j-1 under the Investment Company Act are separate requirements applying to the Covered Officers and others, and are not part of this Code.

V. Amendment; Interpretation of Provisions

The Directors may from time to time amend this Code of Ethics or adopt such interpretations of this Code of Ethics as they deem appropriate.

VI. Confidentiality

All reports and records prepared or maintained pursuant to this Code shall be treated as confidential and shall not be disclosed to any one other than the Board of Directors, the Covered Officers and Fund counsel, except as otherwise requested in accordance with applicable law.

VII. Internal Use

The Code is intended solely for the internal use by the Fund and does not constitute an admission, by or on behalf of the Fund, as to any fact, circumstance, or legal conclusion.
