Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
March 31, 2020

 

 

The Board of Trustees and Shareholders
Pomona Investment Fund:

 

Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statement of assets, liabilities and shareholders’ capital of Pomona Investment Fund and its subsidiary (the Company), including the consolidated schedule of investments as of March 31, 2020, the related consolidated statements of operations and cash flows for the year then ended, the consolidated statements of changes in shareholders’ capital for each of the years in the two year period then ended, and the related notes (collectively, the consolidated financial statements), and the consolidated financial highlights for each of the years or periods in the five year period then ended. In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements and consolidated financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended, and the changes in its shareholders’ capital for each of the years in the two year period then ended, and financial highlights for each of the years or periods in the five year period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

 

Basis for Opinion

 

These consolidated financial statements and consolidated financial highlights are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements and consolidated 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 Company 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 consolidated financial statements and consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements and consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of investments owned as of March 31, 2020, by correspondence with fund managers or by other appropriate auditing procedures. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements and consolidated financial highlights. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

 

We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2015.

Consolidated Schedule of Investments
March 31, 2020 (continued)

 

 

h

Pomona Investment Fund ordinarily acquires portfolios of investments that are comprised of interests in multiple private equity funds (rather than single interests in such funds) and pays a single purchase price for each such portfolio. As a result, the specific acquisition cost allocated to each Private Equity Investment does not necessarily reflect the actual cost of each such investment. As of March 31, 2020, the aggregate cost of each investment restricted to resale was:

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
March 31, 2020

 

 

1. Organization

 

Pomona Investment Fund (the “Fund”) was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on August 12, 2014 and commenced operations on May 7, 2015. The Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as a non-diversified, closed-end management investment company. The Fund is managed by Pomona Management LLC (the “Adviser” and the “Administrator”), an investment adviser registered under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended. The objective of the Fund is to seek long-term capital appreciation by investing principally in private equity investments (“Private Equity Investments”). On August 3, 2017, in connection with the Fund’s previous revolving credit facility, Pomona Investment Fund LLC was organized as a Delaware limited liability company and is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Fund.

 

It is anticipated that the Fund’s Private Equity Investments will predominantly consist of secondary and primary investments in private equity funds (“Investment Funds”) and, to a lesser degree, direct investments in operating companies. Co-investments refer to direct investments in an operating company by the Fund alongside other investors, often one or more Investment Funds. Primary investments refer to investments in newly established private equity funds, typically sponsored by investment managers with an established investment track record. Seasoned primary investments, or seasoned primaries, refer to primary investments made after an Investment Fund has already invested a certain percentage of its capital commitments. Secondary investments refer to investments in existing Investment Funds that are typically acquired in privately negotiated transactions.

 

A board of trustees (the “Board”) has overall responsibility for the management and supervision of the business operations of the Fund. As permitted by applicable law, the Board may delegate any of its rights, powers and authority to, among others, the officers of the Fund, any committee of the Board, or the Adviser.

 

As of March 31, 2020, the Fund offered four classes of shares; Classes A, I, M1 and M2 shares. The M1 share class had not yet commenced operations as of March 31, 2020. All shares are continuously offered on a quarterly basis.

 

Class A Shares are offered at the then-current net asset value plus an initial sales charge, if applicable, with a general minimum initial investment of $25,000. Class A Shareholders pay a fee for distribution and shareholder servicing.

 

Class I Shares are offered to certain institutional investors, at the then-current net asset value without an initial sales charge and with a general minimum initial investment of $1,000,000. Class I Shareholders do not pay a fee for distribution or shareholder servicing.

 

Classes M1 and M2 Shares are offered through intermediary wealth management platforms associated with private banks and trust companies, at the then-current net asset value without an initial sales charge. The general minimum initial investment is $5,000,000. Neither Class M1 nor M2 Shareholders pay a fee for distribution services; however, M1 Shareholders pay a fee for shareholder services or account maintenance services.

 

Certain investors may purchase less than the minimum investment for Class I and Class M2 Shares (noted above) pursuant to a Letter of Intent, which is further described in the Fund’s prospectus.

 

All share classes have the same rights and privileges.

 

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The Fund is considered an investment company and therefore applies the guidance of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946, “Financial Services - Investment Companies”. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies used in preparing the consolidated financial statements.

 

Consolidation of a Subsidiary

 

The consolidated financial statements of the Fund include Pomona Investment Fund LLC, all inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

Valuation of Investments

 

The Fund has formal valuation policies and procedures (the “Valuation Procedures”), which have been approved by the Board. The Board has delegated direct and oversight responsibilities for making valuation determinations for investments held by the Fund to a valuation committee (the “Valuation Committee”), which draws on the resources and personnel of the Administrator and the Adviser in carrying out its responsibilities. The Board receives valuation reports from the Valuation Committee on a quarterly basis and determines if the Valuation Procedures are operating as expected and the outcomes are reliable.

 

All investments are recorded at “Fair Value” in good faith. Fair value is based on actual or estimated market value, with special provisions for assets not having readily available market quotations, and for situations in which market quotations are deemed unreliable. The Private Equity Investments that the Fund makes normally do not have readily available market prices. Determining the fair value of Private Equity Investments and other assets requires that judgment be applied to the specific facts and circumstances of each asset while seeking to employ a valuation process that is consistently followed. There is not necessarily a single standard for determining fair value of such assets, and determinations of fair value may involve subjective judgments and estimates.

 

The fair values of the Fund’s Private Equity Investments are estimates and are determined by the Adviser in accordance with the Valuation Procedures. If applicable, these estimates are net of management and performance incentive fees or allocations payable pursuant to the respective organizational documents of each Private Equity Investment. Ordinarily, the fair value of a Private Equity Investment held by the Fund is based on the net asset value (“NAV”) of that Private Equity Investment reported by its investment manager. If the Adviser determines that the most recent NAV reported by the investment manager of a Private Equity Investment does not represent the fair value or if the investment manager of a Private Equity Investment fails to report a NAV to the Fund, a fair value determination is made by the Adviser in accordance with the Valuation Procedures. This includes adjusting the previous NAV provided by an investment manager with other relevant information available at the time the Fund values its portfolio, including capital activity and material events occurring between the reference dates of the investment manager’s valuation and the relevant valuation date.

 

For investments that do not have readily determinable fair values and for which it is not possible to use NAV as a practical expedient, such as certain Direct Investments/Co-Investments, the Administrator will review and value such investments using one or more of the following types of analyses:

 

 

Market comparable statistics and public trading multiples discounted for illiquidity, minority ownership and/or other factors for investments with similar characteristics.

 

 

Discounted cash flow analysis, including a terminal value or exit multiple.

 

 

The cost of the investment, if the cost is determined to best approximate the fair value of the investment.

 

 

Valuations implied by third-party investment in similar assets or issuers.

 

Cash and Short-term Investments

 

The Fund holds cash and short-term interest bearing deposit accounts. At times, such deposits may be in excess of federally insured limits. The Fund has not experienced any losses in such accounts and does not believe it is exposed to any significant credit risk on such accounts. There are no restrictions on the cash and short-term accounts held by the Fund.

 

Realized Gain/ (Loss) on Investments

 

The Fund accounts for realized gains and losses on distributions received from Private Equity Investments based on the nature of such distributions as determined by each underlying investment manager.

 

Other Income from Private Equity Investments

 

The Fund accounts for other income on distributions received from Private Equity Investments based on the nature of such distributions as determined by the underlying investment fund managers. For the year ended March 31, 2020, the Fund earned other income of $470,085.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

Income Recognition and Expenses

 

Income is recognized on an accrual basis as earned. Expenses are recognized on an accrual basis as incurred.

 

The Fund bears all expenses incurred in the course of its operations, including, but not limited to, the following: all costs and expenses related to portfolio transactions and positions for the Fund’s account; professional fees; costs of insurance; registration expenses; and expenses of meetings of the Board. Certain expenses of the Fund attributable to a particular share class will be allocated to the share class to which they are attributable.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Fund’s Administrator to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Changes in the economic environment, financial markets, and any other factors or parameters used in determining these estimates could cause actual results to differ materially.

 

3. Fair Value Disclosures

 

In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures under U.S. GAAP, the Fund discloses the fair value of its investments in a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure the fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to valuations based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to valuations based upon unobservable inputs that are significant to the valuation (Level 3 measurement). The guidance establishes three levels of fair value as listed below.

 

 

-

Level 1 – Inputs that reflect unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that the Fund has the ability to access at the measurement date

 

 

-

Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, including inputs in markets that are not considered to be active

 

 

-

Level 3 – Inputs that are unobservable

 

The notion of unobservable inputs is intended to allow for situations in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date. Under Level 3, the owner of an asset must determine fair value based on its own assumptions about what market participants would take into account in determining the fair value of the asset, using the best information available.

 

The inputs or methodology for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

 

A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement; however, the determination of what constitutes “observable” requires significant judgment by the Administrator. The Administrator considers observable data to be market data that is readily available, regularly distributed or updated, reliable and verifiable, not proprietary, and provided by independent sources that are actively involved in the relevant market. The Fund’s Private Equity Investments are generally restricted securities that are subject to substantial holding periods and restrictions on resale and are not traded in public markets. Accordingly, the Fund may not be able to resell such investments for extended periods, if at all.

As the Fund uses the NAV as a practical expedient to determine the fair value of certain Private Equity Investments, these investments have not been classified in the U.S. GAAP fair value hierarchy. As of March 31, 2020, $162,485,935 was fair valued utilizing NAV as a practical expedient.

 

During the year ended March 31, 2020, the Fund did not have any transfers between any of the levels of the fair value hierarchy. The Fund records all transfers at the end of each reporting period.

4. Management Fee, Administration Fee, Related Party Transactions and Other

 

The Adviser provides certain management and advisory services to the Fund, including allocating the Fund’s assets and monitoring each Private Equity Investment to determine whether its investment program is consistent with the Fund’s investment objective and whether its investment performance and other criteria are satisfactory. In consideration for these services, the Fund pays the Adviser a quarterly management fee of 0.4125% (1.65% on an annualized basis) of the Fund’s quarter-end Shareholders’ Capital (before any repurchases of Shares) (the “Management Fee”). For the year ended March 31, 2020, the Fund incurred a Management Fee of $2,746,489.

 

The Administrator performs certain administrative, accounting and other services for the Fund, including (i) providing and/or arranging and overseeing the provision of office space, adequate personnel, and communications and other facilities necessary for administration of the Fund, (ii) performing certain administrative functions to support the Fund and its service providers, (iii) supporting the Board and providing it with information, (iv) providing accounting and legal services in support of the Fund, (v) providing compliance testing services, (vi) analyzing the value of the Fund’s assets, and (vii) reviewing and arranging for payment of the Fund’s expenses and other support services.

4. Management Fee, Administration Fee, Related Party Transactions and Other (continued)

 

The Adviser has entered into an expense limitation agreement (the “Expense Limitation and Reimbursement Agreement”) with the Fund that has been extended through September 30, 2021 (the “Limitation Period”) to limit the amount of the Fund’s aggregate quarterly ordinary operating expenses, excluding certain specified expenses listed below (“Specified Expenses”), borne by the Fund during the Limitation Period, to an amount not to exceed 0.50% on an annualized basis of the Fund’s quarter-end net assets (the “Expense Cap”). Specified Expenses include: (i) the Management Fee; (ii) all fees and expenses of Private Equity Investments and direct investments in which the Fund invests (including all acquired fund fees and expenses); (iii) transactional costs, including legal costs and brokerage commissions, associated with the acquisition and disposition of secondaries, primaries, direct investments, ETFs, and other investments; (iv) interest payments incurred on borrowing by the Fund; (v) fees and expenses incurred in connection with any credit facility, if any, obtained by the Fund; (vi) the administration fee; (vii) the distribution and servicing fee or shareholder servicing fee, as applicable; (viii) taxes; and (ix) extraordinary expenses (expenses resulting from events and transactions that are distinguished by their unusual nature and by the infrequency of their occurrence). To the extent that the Fund’s aggregate quarterly ordinary operating expenses, exclusive of the Specified Expenses for any quarter exceed the Expense Cap, the Adviser will waive its fees and/or reimburse the Fund for expenses to the extent necessary to eliminate such excess. To the extent that the Adviser waives fees or reimburses expenses, it is permitted to recoup any amounts waived and expense amounts previously paid or borne by the Adviser, for a period not to exceed three years from the quarter in which such fees were waived or expenses were borne by the Adviser, even if such reimbursement occurs after the termination of the Limitation Period, provided that the Fund’s aggregate quarterly ordinary operating expenses for the quarter in which such reimbursement is sought, not including Specified Expenses, have fallen to a level below the Expense Cap that was in effect during the quarter in which the fees were waived or expenses were borne by the Adviser.

 

For the year ended March 31, 2020, the Adviser waived fees in the amount of $822,399, which are subject for recoupment. At March 31, 2020, the amounts outlined below are available for recoupment:

Voya Investments Distributor, LLC acts as the distributor of the Shares (the “Distributor”). The Distributor directly distributes Shares to investors and may also enter into selected dealer agreements with various brokers and dealers (“Selling Agents”) that have agreed to participate in the distribution of the Fund’s Shares. The Fund pays the Distributor a quarterly fee of 0.1375% (0.55% on an annualized basis) of the Fund’s Shareholders’ Capital attributable to Class A shares as of each quarter-end, determined as of the last day of each quarter (before any repurchases of Shares) (the “Distribution and Servicing Fee”), for distribution and investor services provided to Class A shareholders. The Distribution and Servicing Fee is charged on an aggregate class-wide basis, and shareholders are expected to be subject to the Distribution and Servicing Fee as long as they hold their Class A Shares. The Distributor may, in its sole discretion, pay various Selling Agents some or all of the Distribution and Servicing Fee to compensate such Selling Agents for distribution and servicing support. The Distributor, Adviser, and Administrator are subsidiaries of Voya Financial, Inc. (formerly, ING U.S., Inc.). For the year ended March 31, 2020, the Fund incurred a Distribution and Servicing Fee of $576,675.

4. Management Fee, Administration Fee, Related Party Transactions and Other (continued)

 

UMB Fund Services, Inc. (“UMBFS”) provides certain sub-administration, sub-accounting, and tax services for the Fund. UMBFS charges fees to the Fund for these services based on the average Shareholders’ Capital of the Fund (before any repurchases of Shares), subject to minimum amounts. UMB Bank, N.A., an affiliate of UMBFS, serves as the custodian of the Fund’s assets (the “Custodian”) and primarily charges the Fund a fixed fee based on the its average Shareholders’ Capital (before any repurchases of Shares).

 

Each member of the Board that is not an “interested person” (as defined in the 1940 Act) (an “Independent Trustee”) is paid an annual retainer of $35,000, a fee of $5,000 per year for serving on committees of the Board, and a fee per each in-person meeting of the Board of $2,500, plus reimbursement of reasonable out of pocket expenses.

 

The Fund retained Alaric Compliance Services, LLC to provide compliance services to the Fund, including a Chief Compliance Officer. For the year ended March 31, 2020, the Fund incurred Chief Compliance Officer fees and expenses in the amount of $90,000.

 

Prior to the commencement of operations, the Fund incurred organizational costs in order to establish the Fund and enable it to legally conduct business. All organizational expenses are expensed by the Fund as incurred.

 

The Fund will continuously incur offering costs so long as it is accepting new investors. These costs enable the Fund to be offered to investors. These offering costs are treated as deferred charges and are amortized over the subsequent 12-month period using the straight-line method. For the year ended March 31, 2020, the Fund incurred $124,452 of offering costs.

 

Certain shareholders of the Fund (“Affiliated Shareholders”) are affiliated with the Adviser. The aggregate value of the Affiliated Shareholders’ share of shareholders’ capital at March 31, 2020 is $77,650,642.

 

5. Revolving Credit Agreement

 

Effective February 1, 2018, the Fund entered into a $25,000,000 revolving credit agreement with Credit Suisse AG that was scheduled to mature on December 31, 2020. The credit facility was obtained for working capital requirements, such as financing repurchases of shares, distributions to investors and investments. The facility bore interest at London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus 3.25% per annum, and has a commitment fee of 1.60% per annum on the daily unused portion. For the year ended March 31, 2020, the Fund utilized the facility, borrowed $2,500,000 and paid $7,937 of interest on borrowings at a 5.20% weighted-average interest rate. The Fund terminated this agreement with Credit Suisse AG effective March 30, 2020.

 

Effective March 30, 2020, the Fund entered into a $40,000,000 revolving credit agreement with Barclays Bank PLC (the “Barclays Facility”) that replaces the revolving credit agreement with Credit Suisse AG. The Barclays Facility has a five year term. The Fund entered into the Barclays Facility for working capital requirements, such as financing repurchases of shares, distributions to investors and investments. The Barclays Facility bears interest at London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus 2.85% per annum, and has a commitment fee of 0.85% per annum on the daily unused portion. The Fund did not utilize the Barclays Facility during the year ended March 31, 2020.

 

6. Capital Share Transactions

 

The Fund accepts initial and additional purchases of Shares as of the first business day of each calendar quarter at the Fund’s then-current Net asset value per Share of each respective share class (determined as of the close of business on the last business day of the immediately preceding quarter). To provide a limited degree of liquidity to Shareholders, the Fund may from time to time offer to repurchase Shares pursuant to written tenders by Shareholders. It is expected that the Adviser will normally recommend to the Board that the Fund conduct an offer to repurchase shares on a quarterly basis as of the end of each calendar quarter, so that each repurchase would occur as of each March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 of every year, although the Adviser may not recommend, and the Board may not authorize, a repurchase offer for any quarter in which the Adviser believes that it would be detrimental to the Fund for liquidity or other reasons. It is also expected that the Adviser will recommend to the Board that any such tender offer would be for an amount that is not more than 5% of the Fund’s Shareholders’ Capital. There can be no assurance that the Board will accept the Adviser’s recommendation.

7. Federal and Other Taxes

 

It is the Fund’s intention to meet the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), that are applicable to a regulated investment company (“RIC”). The Fund elected to be a RIC with the filing of its 2015 federal income tax return. The Fund intends to continue to operate so as to qualify to be taxed as a RIC under the Code and, as such, to not be subject to federal income tax on the portion of its taxable income and gains distributed to stockholders. To qualify for RIC tax treatment, among other requirements, the Fund is required to distribute at least 90% of its investment company taxable income, as defined by the Code. Accordingly, the Fund intends to distribute its taxable income and net realized gains, if any, to shareholders in accordance with timing requirements imposed by the Code. While the Fund intends to distribute substantially all of its taxable net investment income and capital gains, if any, in a manner necessary to minimize the imposition of a 4% excise tax, there can be no assurance that it will avoid any or all of the excise tax. In such event, the Fund will be liable only for the amount by which it does not meet the foregoing distribution requirements. The Fund has adopted October 31 as its tax year end. The Fund’s open tax years for which the applicable statutes of limitations have not expired are subject to examination by U.S. federal, state and local tax authorities.

 

In accounting for income taxes, the Fund follows the guidance in FASB ASC Codification 740, as amended by ASU 2009-06, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”). ASC 740 prescribes the minimum recognition threshold a tax position must meet in connection with accounting for uncertainties in income tax positions taken or expected to be taken by an entity before being measured and recognized in the consolidated financial statements. Management has concluded, there were no uncertain tax positions as of March 31, 2020 for federal income tax purposes or in, the Fund’s major state and local tax jurisdictions; Delaware, New York State, and New York City.

 

Because U.S. federal income tax regulations differ from U.S. GAAP, distributions in accordance with tax regulations may differ from net investment income and realized gains recognized for financial reporting purposes. Differences may be permanent or temporary. Permanent differences are reclassified among capital accounts in the consolidated financial statements to reflect the applicable tax characterization. Temporary differences arise when certain items of income, expense, gain or loss are recognized at some time in the future. The tax basis components of distributable earnings differ from the amounts reflected in the Statement of Assets, Liabilities and Shareholders’ Capital due to temporary book/tax differences arising primarily from partnership investments. These amounts will be finalized before filing the Fund’s federal tax return.

 

For the tax year ended October 31, 2019, permanent differences between book and tax basis are attributable to certain non-deductible expenses for tax purposes and net operating losses. These reclassifications have no effect on total Shareholders’ Capital or Net asset value per Share. For the tax year ended October 31, 2019, the following amounts were reclassified:

 

Paid-in Capital

  $ (1,710,754 )

Total distributable earnings (or loss)

    1,710,754  

 

At March 31, 2020, the federal tax cost of investment securities and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) as of the year-end were as follows:

 

Gross unrealized appreciation

  $ 28,860,118  

Gross unrealized depreciation

    (23,500,561 )

Net unrealized appreciation

  $ 5,359,557  

Cost of investments

  $ 174,469,393  

 

The difference between cost amounts for financial statement and federal income tax purposes is due primarily to timing differences related to the timing of the recognition of income, gains and losses from the underlying investments for tax purposes.

As of October 31, 2019, the Fund had no capital loss carryforwards.

 

As of October 31, 2019, the Fund had $3,141,861 of qualified late-year ordinary losses, which are deferred until the following tax year ended October 31, 2020. Net late-year losses incurred after December 31, and within the taxable year are deemed to arise on the first day of the Fund’s next taxable year.

 

Income distributions and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. The tax character of distributions paid during the tax year ended October 31, 2019 and October 31, 2018 was as follows:

 

Distribution paid from:

 

2019

   

2018

 

Ordinary income

Long-term capital gains

    12,870,379       6,420,727  

Total distributions paid

  $ 12,870,379     $ 6,420,727  

 

8. Investment Transactions

 

Total contributions to and purchases of Private Equity Investments for the year ended March 31, 2020 amounted to $86,153,080. Total distribution proceeds from sale, redemption, or other disposition of investments in Private Equity Investments for the year ended March 31, 2020 amounted to $32,054,333.

 

9. Indemnification

 

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

 

10. Commitments

 

As of March 31, 2020, the Fund had outstanding investment commitments to Private Equity Investments totaling approximately $54,379,013.

Effective April 1, 2020, there were subscriptions to the Fund in the amount of $4,030,815 for Class A and, $3,950,000 for Class I Shares. Through the date the consolidated financial statements were issued, there have not been any additional subscriptions to the Fund.

 

On April 10, 2020, the Fund entered into an Agreement of Purchase and Sale to acquire a $3,000,000 commitment to BC XI Private Investors, L.P. and a $3,750,000 commitment to BC XII Private Investors, L.P.

 

On April 23, 2020, the Fund committed $5,000,000 to an investment in Permira IV Feeder L.P.

 

Effective April 17, 2020, DST Asset Manager Solutions, Inc. serves as the Fund’s transfer agent with respect to maintaining the registry of the Fund’s Shareholders and processing matters relating to subscriptions for, and repurchases of, Shares.

 

The Fund has evaluated subsequent events through the date the consolidated financial statements were issued, and has determined that there were no other subsequent events that require disclosure in or adjustment to the consolidated financial statements.

 

12. COVID-19 Impact

 

Since the beginning of 2020, global financial markets have been monitoring and reacting to the impact of the currently ongoing spread of COVID-19 (coronavirus) and the multidimensional response its spread has elicited. This has resulted in ongoing and widespread market volatility and, given changing market conditions on an almost daily basis, it cannot be determined what effect, if any, this will have on the Fund and the performance of its portfolio during this time period or over the next several months. Additionally, the Investment Manager is monitoring developments relating to coronavirus and is coordinating its operational response based on existing business continuity plans and on guidance from global health organizations, relevant governments, and general pandemic response best practices.

Approval of Continuance of Investment Management Agreement

 

This section describes some factors considered by the Board of Trustees (the “Trustees” or “Board”) of Pomona Investment Fund (the “Fund”) in the Board’s consideration and approval of the continuance of key agreements under which the Fund is managed. The Board is responsible for the oversight of the Fund. As a registered investment company, the Fund is subject to the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) and the rules under the 1940 Act that have been adopted by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Under the 1940 Act, the Board, including a majority of the Trustees who are not parties to the Fund’s contract for investment advisory services and who are independent from management under a statutory standard set forth in that Act (the “Independent Trustees”), must, to allow an investment adviser to manage the Fund, approve the Fund’s agreement for investment advisory services for an initial term of not greater than two years, and thereafter must annually review and approve the agreement. For the Fund, this agreement is called the Investment Management Agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”) and it appoints Pomona Management LLC (the “Adviser”) to serve as investment adviser.

 

At a meeting held on February 26, 2020 (the “Meeting”), the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, met in person, joined by, among others, representatives of the Adviser and counsel to the Fund and Adviser (“Fund Counsel”), to give consideration to information provided by the Adviser in seeking approval from the Board of the continuance of the Advisory Agreement. A description of certain of the factors the Board considered and its conclusions in approving the continuance of the Advisory Agreement for a one-year period (the “Renewal Period”) follows.

 

In preparation for the Meeting, the Board was presented with information to assist in its deliberations. Those materials included information prepared by the Adviser comparing the Fund’s total contractual advisory fees, fees for administrative services, and total expense ratio, both gross and net of expense limitations, with those of peer funds with comparable investment and structural features selected by the Adviser (the “Selected Peer Group”). The Board also received information related to the methodology used by the Adviser in constructing the Selected Peer Group. The materials also included information about the Adviser, a copy of the Advisory Agreement, and a copy of the Adviser’s Form ADV filed with the SEC. The Trustees also received a memorandum from Fund Counsel describing the Board’s responsibilities with respect to the approval of the Advisory Agreement.

 

In connection with the Meeting, the Board also reviewed information provided by the Adviser or others concerning the following:

 

 

the key terms of the Advisory Agreement, including the fees payable under the agreement;

 

 

the nature and extent of the services provided by the Adviser, including information about the investment objective, policies and strategies applicable to the Fund and the Adviser’s experience and capabilities in private equity investing;

 

 

the Adviser’s experience and capabilities in managing a fund that invests primarily in secondary investments in private equity funds;

 

25

 

 

 

Pomona Investment Fund

 

 

Other Information (Unaudited)
March 31, 2020 (continued)

 

 

 

the Adviser’s experience and capabilities in managing a fund that provides private equity exposure that is differentiated by type of private equity opportunity and geography;

 

 

the investment performance of the Fund and other accounts that are managed by the Adviser;

 

 

the current organization and personnel of the Adviser, including background information and their experience in private equity investing, changes in the Fund’s portfolio management team during the preceding year and information about expected changes to certain personnel of the Adviser;

 

 

a copy and a summary of the key terms of the Administration Agreement between the Fund and the Adviser (in its role as Administrator under the Administration Agreement), including the fees payable under the Administration Agreement and indemnification provisions in favor of the Adviser; and

 

 

a copy of the Distribution Agreement between the Fund and Voya Investments Distributor, LLC (the “Distributor”) and a description of the manner in which the Fund’s shares are distributed by its principal underwriter, and the payment by certain share classes of the Fund of a distribution and shareholder servicing fee to the Distributor.

 

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided Under the Advisory Agreement

 

In addition to the items described above, the Board considered and reviewed information concerning (1) the services provided under the Advisory Agreement; (2) the nature and quality of services provided to the Fund by the Adviser; (3) the risk and reward characteristics of the Fund based on the Adviser’s strategies and management; (4) the access that the Fund provides to eligible investors to private equity investments that otherwise can be difficult to access; and (5) the value of making available in a registered fund strategies similar to those that the Adviser provides to privately offered funds.

 

Based upon its review, the Board concluded that Adviser’s continued management likely would benefit the Fund and its shareholders.

 

Fee Rates and Profitability

 

The Board reviewed and considered the contractual fee for advisory services, as well as the contractual fee for administrative services, payable by the Fund to the Adviser. The Trustees also reviewed the comparative fee information from the analysis prepared by the Adviser. The Trustees noted the difficulty in identifying relevant comparative fee information due to the Fund’s unique structure and investment strategies and the limited universe of similar funds. The Board further noted that there are no known research firms that provide research coverage for unlisted closed-end funds, generally, or funds that focus on investing in private equity in particular. The Trustees considered the criteria the Adviser had used in selecting the Selected Peer Group and in determining which funds in the Selected Peer Group are relevant for the various comparisons of fee and expense information presented by the Adviser.

 

In considering the fees payable under the Advisory Agreement, the Board considered the pricing structure, including the expense ratio borne by shareholders of the Fund, including that the advisory fee is higher than the median advisory fee of relevant funds in the Selected Peer Group, although some of those funds are subject to performance and/or incentive fees that can raise their effective fee levels. The Trustees also took into account the Adviser’s representations regarding the complexity associated with managing the Fund given its strategies and focus on private equity investing, including the emphasis on secondary investments in private equity funds and on private equity exposure that is differentiated by type of private equity opportunity and geography. The Board also considered that the net expense ratio of the Fund is higher than the median and mean net expense ratio of relevant funds in the Selected Peer Group. The Trustees took into account: (1) the Adviser’s agreement to subsidize the Fund’s expenses for a period of time through fee waivers, which lower the Fund’s net expenses, and (2) that the Selected Peer Group did not include any funds that focused primarily on secondary investments in underlying private equity funds in a manner similar to the Fund.

 

The Board also considered the fees charged by the Adviser to private funds under its management with similar investment strategies to those of the Fund, and noted that although the advisory fee for the Fund is higher than the advisory fee charged to the Adviser’s most recent private fund, each of the private funds have performance and/or incentive fees that, depending on performance, may cause a private fund’s effective fees to be higher than its base fee.

 

The Trustees also reviewed the contractual fee paid under the Administration Agreement and compared the Fund’s administration fee structure to that of a fund in the Selected Peer Group. The Board considered that the Selected Peer Group fund was subject to a higher administration fee than that of the Fund (though the Selected Peer Group fund’s administration fee has the potential to decrease in the future if the Fund’s assets were to grow significantly). The Trustees also noted that the Fund’s estimated “other expenses,” inclusive of the administration fee, is higher than the median and mean of “other expenses” among the Selected Peer Group funds.

With respect to the profits realized by the Adviser, the Board considered the asset levels at which the Adviser expects to begin to attain a profit on managing the Fund. The Adviser reported that the Fund was expected to be profitable to the Adviser on an ongoing basis for the first time in 2019 and that the Adviser expects to continue to see increasing profits from the Fund in future projected years. Based on its review, the Board concluded, in light of the Fund’s investment objective and strategies and the services rendered by the Adviser, that the fee for the Advisory Agreement is reasonable and that the overall expenses borne by the Fund, including the fees paid under the Advisory and Administration Agreements, and the net expenses of the Fund after the expense limits that the Adviser bears are reasonable.

 

Economies of Scale

 

While it was noted that the Fund’s advisory and administration fees will not decrease as the Fund’s assets grow because these fees are not subject to fee breakpoints, the Board concluded that the Fund’s advisory and administration fees are appropriate in light of the projected size of the Fund and appropriately reflect the current economic and competitive environment for the Adviser. The Board further noted that the Adviser projects that the Fund will incur expenses in excess of the current expense limitation agreement until at least March 31,2021, during which time the Adviser will bear the expenses through a waiver of its management fee. They considered that, subsequent to March 31, 2021, the Adviser projects that the amount of expenses incurred by the Fund may fall below the expense limitation, and as a result, the Adviser could begin to recoup such waived fees. The Trustees observed that they will have the opportunity to periodically re-examine whether the Fund has achieved economies of scale in the future as the Fund grows to determine if and how and how any such economies of scale could be shared with the Fund and its investors.

 

Performance

 

The Board concluded on the basis of information derived from a comparison of performance among funds in a peer group with the Fund that the Adviser had achieved investment performance that was competitive relative to comparable funds over longer-term trailing periods, and the Trustees took into consideration the fact that the Adviser focuses on long-term performance results with respect to its management of the Fund and that the Fund may have periods of under performance when measured on a more short-term basis.

 

The Board considered the performance of the Fund relative to that of a peer group of funds selected by the Adviser with similar investment strategies and objectives to those of the Fund (the “Performance Peer Group”). The Board noted the difficulty in selecting a peer group for the Fund, based on factors similar to those discussed in the “Fee Rates and Profitability” section above and observed that no third-party research firms have identified relevant peer groups for purposes of comparing the Fund’s performance. The Trustees considered that the returns of the Fund’s Class A Shares outperformed the median returns of the Performance Peer Group for the three-year periods ended September 30, 2018 and September 30, 2019, and outperformed the median returns for the one-year periods ended March 31, 2016, March 31, 2018 and March 31, 2019. The Fund underperformed the median returns of the Performance Peer Group for the one-year period ended March 31, 2017. The Board concluded that the Adviser has the capabilities to generate a satisfactory long-term investment performance in managing the Fund that is appropriate in light of the Fund’s investment objective, policies and strategies.

 

Other Benefits to the Adviser

 

The Board also considered other ancillary benefits that have been realized by the Adviser from its relationship with the Fund. The Board noted that the Adviser also serves as Administrator to the Fund and is compensated for those services. The Board also noted that an affiliate of the Adviser serves as Distributor for the Fund and is compensated for those services. The Board did not identify any other ancillary benefits. The Trustees concluded that the other benefits derived by the Adviser and its affiliates from their relationship with the Fund are reasonable and fair and consistent with industry practice and the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.

 

Conclusion

 

Based on consideration of all factors deemed relevant, the Board determined that approval of the continuance of the Advisory Agreement was in the best interests of the Fund. The Board did not identify any single factor or group of factors as all important or controlling and considered multiple factors.

ITEM 7. DISCLOSURE OF PROXY VOTING POLICIES AND PROCEDURES FOR CLOSED-END MANAGEMENT INVESTMENT COMPANIES.

 

Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures Summary

 

Investments in the Investment Funds do not typically convey traditional voting rights, and the occurrence of corporate governance or other consent or voting matters for this type of investment is substantially less than that encountered in connection with registered equity securities. However, Pomona Investment Fund (the “Fund”) may occasionally receive notices or proposals from its Investment Funds seeking the consent of or voting by holders (“proxies”). The Fund has delegated any voting of proxies in respect of portfolio holdings to Pomona Management LLC (the “Adviser”) to vote the proxies in accordance with the Adviser’s proxy voting guidelines and procedures. In general, the Adviser believes that voting proxies in accordance with the policies described below will be in the best interests of the Fund.

 

The Adviser will generally vote to support management recommendations relating to routine matters, such as the election of board members (where no corporate governance issues are implicated) or the selection of independent auditors. The Adviser will generally vote in favor of management or investor proposals that the Adviser believes will maintain or strengthen the shared interests of investors and management, increase value for investors and maintain or increase the rights of investors. On non-routine matters, the Adviser will generally vote in favor of management proposals for mergers or reorganizations and investor rights plans, so long as it believes such proposals are in the best economic interests of the Fund. In exercising its voting discretion, the Adviser will seek to avoid any direct or indirect conflict of interest presented by the voting decision. If any substantive aspect or foreseeable result of the matter to be voted on presents an actual or potential conflict of interest involving the Adviser, the Adviser will make written disclosure of the conflict to the Independent Trustees indicating how the Adviser proposes to vote on the matter and its reasons for doing so.

 

 

 

The Fund intends to hold its interests in the Investment Funds in non-voting form. Where only voting securities are available for purchase by the Fund, in all, or substantially all, instances, the Fund will seek to create by contract the same result as owning a non-voting security by entering into a contract, typically before the initial purchase, to relinquish the right to vote in respect of its investment.

 

ITEM 8. PORTFOLIO MANAGERS OF CLOSED-END MANAGEMENT INVESTMENT COMPANIES.

 

(a)(1) Identification of Portfolio Manager(s) or Management Team Members and Description of Role of Portfolio Manager(s) or Management Team Members

Conflicts of Interest

 

The Adviser may, from time to time, be presented with investment opportunities that fall within the investment objective of the Fund and other investment funds and/or accounts managed by the Adviser, and in such circumstances the Adviser will allocate such opportunities among the Fund and such other funds and/or accounts under procedures intended to result in allocations that are fair and equitable taking into account the sourcing of the transaction, the nature of the investment focus of each fund, including the Fund, and/or account, the relative amounts of capital available for investment, and other considerations deemed relevant by the Adviser in good faith. Where there is an insufficient amount of an investment opportunity to satisfy the Fund and other investment funds and/or accounts managed by the Adviser, the allocation policy provides that allocations between the Fund and other investment funds and/or accounts will generally be made pro rata based on the amount that each such party would have invested if sufficient amounts of an investment opportunity were available. The Adviser’s allocation policy provides that in circumstances where pro rata allocation is not practicable or possible, investment opportunities will be allocated on a random or rotational basis that is fair and equitable over time. In addition, the Adviser’s Investment Committee will review allocations. Not all other investment funds and/or accounts managed by Adviser have the same fees and certain other investment funds and/or accounts managed by the Adviser may have a higher management fee than the Fund or a performance-based fee. If the fee structure of another investment fund and/or account is more advantageous to the Adviser than the fee structure of the Fund, the Adviser could have an incentive to favor the other fund and/or account over the Fund.

 

(a)(3) Compensation of the Portfolio Management Team Portfolio Manager Compensation Structure

 

The compensation of each portfolio manager is typically comprised of a fixed annual salary and a discretionary annual bonus determined by the Adviser. In addition, each portfolio manager may be eligible to receive a share of any fees or carried interest earned by the Adviser in any given year. Such amounts are payable by the Adviser and not by the Fund.

ITEM 11. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

 

(a) The registrant's principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, have concluded that the registrant's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 30a-3(c) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act") (17 CFR 270.30a-3(c))) are effective, as of a date within 90 days of the filing date of the report that includes the disclosure required by this paragraph, based on their evaluation of these controls and procedures required by Rule 30a-3(b) under the 1940 Act (17 CFR 270.30a-3(b)) and Rules 13a-15(b) or 15d-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (17 CFR 240.13a-15(b) or 240.15d-15(b)).

 

(b) There were no changes in the registrant's internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 30a-3(d) under the 1940 Act (17 CFR 270.30a-3(d)) that occurred during the registrant's second fiscal quarter of the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the registrant's internal control over financial reporting.

POMONA INVESTMENT FUND

 

CODE OF ETHICS

 

FOR PRINCIPAL EXECUTIVE AND PRINCIPAL FINANCIAL OFFICER

 

 

 

Adopted pursuant to Section 406 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act

 

I. Covered Officers/Purpose of the Code

 

This code of ethics (this “Code”) for Pomona Investment Fund (the “Fund”) applies to the Fund’s Principal Executive Officer, and Principal Financial Officer (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 a registrant files with, or submits to, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“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

 

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

 

Certain conflicts of interest 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 of 1940 (“Investment Company Act”) and the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (“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 the investment adviser's 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 of the parameters of this Code.

 

1 

 

Although typically not presenting an opportunity for improper personal benefit, conflicts arise from, or as a result of, the contractual relationship between the Fund and the investment adviser of which the Covered Officers are also officers or employees. As a result, this Code recognizes that the Covered Officers will, in the normal course of their duties (whether formally for the Fund or for the adviser, or for both), be involved in establishing policies and implementing decisions that will have different effects on the adviser and the Fund. The participation of the Covered Officers in such activities is inherent in the contractual relationship between the Fund and the adviser 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 will be deemed to have been handled ethically. In addition, it is recognized by the Fund’s Board of Trustees (“Board”) that the Covered Officers may also be officers or employees of one or more other investment companies covered by this or other codes.

 

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 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 Fund1;;

 

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 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;

 

 
1With regard to a Covered Officer, the term “benefit personally” means the direct or indirect receipt by the Covered Officer, by a member of the Covered Officer’s immediate family, or by any entity (other than a Fund’s investment adviser or any affiliate thereof) of which the Covered Officer or any member of the Covered Officer’s immediate family owns 5% or more of the beneficial ownership interest or by which the Covered Officer or any member of the Covered Officer’s immediate family is employed, or from which the Covered Officer or any member of the Covered Officer’s immediate family receives any compensation or other benefit, of any compensation or other personal benefit. For the purposes of this Code, the term “member of the immediate family” means a Covered Officer’s parent, spouse of a parent, child, spouse of a child, spouse, brother, or sister, and includes step and adoptive relationships.

 

2 

 

not receive any gifts in excess of $500 in any calendar year from any entity or person that directly or indirectly currently or prospectively does or will do business with or receives compensation or other benefits from a Fund;

 

not have a direct or indirect financial interest, such as compensation or equity ownership, 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 with the Fund’s investment adviser, administrator, principal underwriter, or any affiliated person thereof;

 

not engage in a transaction directly as a principal with a Fund, except that this prohibition shall not apply to the purchase or redemption of the shares of any Fund on the same terms and conditions as all other shareholders; and

 

not engage in any other activity that would cause them to benefit personally at the expense of a Fund.

 

There are some conflict of interest situations that should always be discussed with the General Counsel of the Adviser if material. Examples of these include:

 

Service as a director, partner, officer, manager or managing member on the board of any public or private company other than a Fund’s investment adviser, administrator, principal underwriter, or an affiliate of any of the foregoing, if such company has current or prospective business dealings with a Fund or if any Fund may invest in securities issued by such company2; ;

 

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 impropriety3;

 

any ownership interest in, or any consulting or employment relationship with, any of the Fund’s service providers, other than its investment adviser, principal underwriter, administrator or any affiliated person there of;

 

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.

 

 
2For the purposes of this Code, “company” includes any legal or business entity such as a corporation, limited liability company, partnership, limited partnership, trust, association, sole proprietorship, etc.
3For the purposes of this Code, “entertainment” means activities or events, such as golfing, theater, sporting events, etc., at which a representative of the entertaining company is present along with the Covered Officer or his or her immediate family member. If a representative of the entertaining company is not present, such activities or events shall be treated as gifts hereunder.

III. Disclosure and Compliance

 

Each Covered Officer should familiarize himself with the disclosure requirements generally applicable to the Fund;

 

each Covered Officer should not knowingly misrepresent, or cause others to misrepresent, facts about the Fund to others, whether within or outside the Fund, including to the Fund’s directors and auditors, and to governmental regulators and self-regulatory organizations;

 

each Covered Officer should, to the extent appropriate within his area of responsibility, consult with other officers of the Fund and officers and employees of the adviser 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

 

it is the responsibility of each Covered Officer to promote compliance with the standards and restrictions imposed by applicable laws, rules and regulations.

 

IV. Reporting and Accountability

 

Each Covered Officer must:

 

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

 

annually thereafter affirm to the Board that he has complied with the requirements of the Code;

 

report at least annually any legal proceedings initiated against him or herself or any bankruptcy or similar filing made; and report at least annually for him or herself or immediate family; any direct or material indirect business relationship with the Fund’s Auditor; any professional position, material interest in any business transaction or any business relationship concerning property or services with an Affiliate or Service Provider to the Fund; any legal representation provided to an Affiliate or the Fund; or any other designation as a director or trustee or other material compensation arrangement with an Affiliate or Service Provider that may give rise to a conflict of interest;

 

not retaliate against any other Covered Officer or any employee of the Fund or its affiliated persons for reports of potential violations that are made in good faith; and

 

4 

 

notify Designated Individual promptly if he knows of any violation of this Code. Failure to do so is itself a violation of this Code. The Designated Individual 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. However, any approvals or waivers sought by the Principal Executive Officer will be considered by the Independent Directors

 

the Designated Individual will take all appropriate action to investigate any potential violations reported to him;

 

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

 

any matter that the Designated Individual believes is a violation will be reported to the Independent Directors;

 

if the Independent Directors concur that a violation has occurred, they will consider appropriate action, which may include review of, and appropriate modifications to, applicable policies and procedures; notification to appropriate personnel of the investment adviser or its board; or a recommendation to dismiss the Covered Officer;

 

the Board will be responsible for granting waivers, as appropriate; and

 

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

 

V. Other Policies and Procedures

 

This Code shall be the sole code of ethics adopted by the Fund for purposes of Section 406 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the rules and forms applicable to registered investment companies thereunder. Insofar as other policies or procedures of the Fund, the Fund’s adviser, principal underwriter, 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 its investment adviser’s and principal underwriter’s codes of ethics under Rule 17j-1 under the Investment Company Act and the adviser’s more detailed policies and procedures are separate requirements applying to the Covered Officers and others, and are not part of this Code.

 

VI. Amendments

 

Any amendments to this Code, other than amendments to Exhibit A, must be approved or ratified by a majority vote of the Board, including a majority of independent trustees.

 

5 

 

VII. Confidentiality

 

All reports and records prepared or maintained pursuant to this Code will be considered confidential and shall be maintained and protected accordingly. Except as otherwise required by law or this Code, such matters shall not be disclosed to other than the Board of Trustees, the Fund’s Investment Adviser and its counsel

 

VIII. Internal Use

 

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

 

IX Conflicts with Law and Policy

 

If any part of this Code, or if compliance with any part of this Code, violates or is in conflict with any applicable law, the provisions of such applicable law shall control. If any part of this Code, or if compliance with any part of this Code, violates or is in conflict with any policy or practice of the Fund or of any service provider to the Fund, the provisions of this Code shall control.
