Griffin Institutional Access Credit Fund

Notes to Quarterly Consolidated Schedule of Investments

September 30, 2019 (Unaudited)

 

1. ORGANIZATION

 

 

Griffin Institutional Access Credit Fund (the “Fund”) is registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as a non-diversified, closed-end management investment company. The Fund engages in a continuous offering of shares and operates as an interval fund that offers quarterly repurchases of shares at net asset value. The Fund’s SEC registered investment adviser is Griffin Capital Credit Advisor, LLC (the “Adviser”). BCSF Advisors, LP (the “Sub-Adviser”), an affiliate of Bain Capital Credit, LP, serves as the Fund’s sub-adviser. The investment objective of the Fund is to generate a return comprised of both current income and capital appreciation with an emphasis on current income with low volatility and low correlation to the broader markets. The Fund pursues its investment objective by investing in a range of secured and unsecured debt obligations, which may be syndicated, consisting of U.S. high yield securities, global high yield securities, direct lending investments including direct originated debt obligations, collateralized loan obligations (“CLOs”), and other fixed-income and fixed-income related securities. The portfolio may consist of high yield bonds and bank loans, equity securities, CLOs, and direct lending investments, which may include senior direct lending (“SDL”) as well as subordinate and unitranche direct lending. The Fund may also acquire warrants and other equity interests through its direct lending activities. The portfolio may also consist of, to a lesser extent, special situations investments such as non-performing loans (“NPLs”). In pursuing its investment objective, the Fund may also directly or indirectly invest in derivative investments, such as total return swap agreements.

 

The Fund was organized as a statutory trust on April 5, 2016 under the laws of the State of Delaware. The Fund commenced operations on April 3, 2017 and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares with no par value.

 

The Fund currently offers Class A, Class C, Class I and Class L shares. Class A, Class C and Class I shares commenced operations on April 3, 2017. Class L shares commenced operations on September 5, 2017. Effective September 29, 2017 Griffin Capital BDC Corp., formerly known as Griffin-Benefit Street Partners BDC Corp., (the “BDC”) transferred all of its assets to the Fund, in exchange for Class F shares of the Fund and the Fund assumed all of the liabilities of the BDC (the “Reorganization”). Class F Shares commenced operations on September 25, 2017 and were offered in conjunction with the Reorganization. Class F shares are no longer offered except for reinvestment of dividends. Class A and L shares are offered subject to a maximum sales charge of 5.75% and 4.25%, respectively, of their offering price. Class C and Class I shares are offered at net asset value per share. Class C shares may be subject to a 1.00% contingent deferred sales charge on shares redeemed during the first 365 days after their purchase. Each class represents an interest in the same assets of the Fund and classes are identical except for differences in their sales charge structures and ongoing service and distribution charges. All classes of shares have equal voting privileges except that each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to its service and/or distribution plans. The Fund’s income, expenses (other than class specific distribution fees) and realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated proportionately each day based upon the relative net assets of each class.

 

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

 

Basis of Presentation – The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in preparation of its Consolidated Schedule of Investments. These policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The Fund is considered an investment company following accounting and reporting guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946 – Financial Services – Investment Companies. The preparation of the Consolidated Schedule of Investments requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the Consolidated Schedule of Investments and the reported amounts of income and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ from
those estimates.

 

Consolidation of GIACF Alternative Holdings, LLCGIACF Alternative Holdings, LLC, (the “NPL Subsidiary”), a Cayman Islands exempted company and wholly owned subsidiary of the Fund, was formed on September 18, 2018. The NPL Subsidiary acts as an investment vehicle for the Fund in order to effect certain NPL investments for the Fund. The Fund is the managing and sole member of the NPL Subsidiary pursuant to a limited liability agreement. Further, the Fund will remain the sole member and will continue to wholly own and control the NPL Subsidiary.  As a wholly owned subsidiary of the Fund, all investments held by the NPL Subsidiary are disclosed in the Consolidated Schedule of Investments. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

The NPL Subsidiary has received an undertaking from the Government of the Cayman Islands exempting it from all local income, profits and capital gains taxes. No such taxes are levied in the Cayman Islands at the present time. For U.S. income tax purposes, the NPL Subsidiary is a Controlled Foreign Corporation, which generates and is allocated no income that is considered effectively connected with U.S. trade of business and, as such, is not subject to U.S. income tax. However, as a wholly owned Controlled Foreign Corporation, the NPL Subsidiary’s net income and capital gain, to the extent of its earnings and profits, will be included each year in the Fund’s investment company taxable income.

 

Consolidation of CRDTX SPV I, LLC – CRDTX SPV I, LLC, (the “Swap Subsidiary”), a Delaware Limited Liability Company and wholly owned subsidiary of the Fund, was formed on November 27, 2018. The Swap Subsidiary, on behalf of the Fund, has entered into a series of single-asset total return swaps (the “Swaps”) on individual bank loans (each a “Reference Asset”). The Fund is the managing and sole member of the Swap Subsidiary pursuant to a limited liability agreement. Further, the Fund will remain the sole member and will continue to wholly own and control the Swap Subsidiary. The Swaps that the Swap Subsidiary has entered into are disclosed in the Consolidated Schedule of Investments. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

 

 

Single-Asset Subsidiaries – Certain investments of the Fund will be held in single-asset subsidiaries controlled by the Fund (the “Single-Asset Subsidiaries”). The Single Asset Subsidiaries are generally formed as needed to hold a particular equity investment obtained in private transactions. The equity holdings of the Single-Asset Subsidiaries are disclosed in the Consolidated Schedule of Investments. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

The Fund will generally consolidate any wholly-owned or controlled subsidiary. For purposes of the Fund’s investment restrictions, guidelines and limitations, the Fund will aggregate direct investments with investment exposure provided by its wholly-owned and controlled subsidiaries.

 

Security Valuation – In accordance with ASC Topic 820 – Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures, and consistent with the Fund’s Valuation Policy, portfolio securities of the Fund are valued at their current market values determined on the basis of readily available market quotations. Market quotations are obtained from independent pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees (the “Trustees”). Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are typically valued at their quoted daily prices obtained from an independent pricing service. With respect to the Swaps, each Reference Asset is marked daily at its quoted price obtained from an independent pricing service. The collective daily value of each Swap is based on the daily value of the Reference Asset together with accrued income of the Reference Asset and the accrued expenses incurred under the Swap agreement.

 

If market quotations are not readily available, securities are valued at fair value in good faith pursuant to procedures adopted by the Trustees. The Trustees have delegated the day to day responsibility for determining fair valuation to the Fair Value Pricing Committee in accordance with the Valuation Policy approved by the Trustees. There is no single standard for determining fair value of a security. Rather, in determining the fair value of a security for which there are no readily available market quotations, the Adviser and Sub-Adviser, together with the Fair Value Pricing Committee, may consider several factors as relevant, including but not limited to: (1) evaluation of all relevant factors, including but not limited to, pricing history, current market level, supply and demand of the respective security; (2) comparison to the values, yields, and current pricing of securities that have comparable characteristics; (3) knowledge of current and historical market information with respect to the security; (4) other factors relevant to the security which would include, but not be limited to, duration, yield, fundamental analytical data, including enterprise value of portfolio company, relevant credit market indices, and credit quality. The Adviser and Sub-Adviser may also consider periodic financial statements (audited and unaudited) or other information provided by the issuer. The Fair Value Pricing Committee will give consideration to all factors which might reasonably affect the fair value of an investment. The Fund has retained the services of one or more independent third-party valuation specialists to assist the Fair Value Pricing Committee in determining the fair value of certain securities for which market quotations are not available. The independent third-party valuation specialist provides the Fair Value Pricing Committee with a valuation report that includes a description of the methodology used to measure fair value and the analysis and calculations supporting its conclusion. Fair valuation involves subjective judgments, and it is possible that the fair value determined for a security may differ materially from the value that could be realized upon the sale of the security.

 

The Adviser will provide the Trustees with periodic reports, no less frequently than quarterly, that discuss the functioning of the valuation process, if applicable to that period, and that identify issues and valuation problems that have arisen, if any. To the extent deemed necessary by the Adviser, the Trustees will review any securities valued by the Adviser and/or the Fair Value Pricing Committee in accordance with the Fund’s Valuation Policy.

 

Fair Value Measurements – In accordance with ASC Topic 820 – Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures, a three-tier hierarchy has been established to classify fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk. Inputs may be observable or unobservable. Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability that are developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability that are developed based on the best information available. In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosure under GAAP, the Fund discloses fair value of its investments in a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure the fair value, as follows:

 

Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities that the Fund has the ability to access at the measurement date;

 

Level 2 – Quoted prices which are not active, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or inputs other than quoted prices that are observable (either directly or indirectly) for substantially the full term of the asset or liability at the measurement date; and

 

Level 3 – Significant unobservable prices or inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) where there is little or no market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date.

 

The availability of observable inputs can vary from security to security and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of security, whether the security is new and not yet established in the marketplace, the liquidity of markets and other characteristics particular to the security. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3.

 

 

 

An investment level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level input, individually or in the aggregate, that is significant to fair value measurement. The valuation techniques used by the Fund to measure fair value during the period ended September 30, 2019 maximized the use of observable inputs and minimized the use of unobservable inputs.

 

The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities. The following is a summary of the inputs used in valuing the Fund’s investments as of September 30, 2019:

Unobservable Input Impact to Value if Input Increases Impact to Value if Input Decreases
Yield Decrease Increase
EBITDA Multiple Increase Decrease
Discount Rate Decrease Increase
Purchase Price N/A N/A

 

(b)Investments acquired during the quarter ended September 30, 2019.

 

The Fund utilized the comparative yield, enterprise value, and discounted cash flow techniques to determine the fair value of certain Level 3 assets as of September 30, 2019. The significant unobservable input used in the comparative yield analysis is yield. The comparative yield valuation technique measures fair value of an investment based upon an assessment of expected market yields of other businesses of similar size in the same industry. The significant unobservable input used in the enterprise value approach is the EBITDA multiple. EBITDA multiples are typically determined based upon review of market comparable transactions and publicly traded comparable companies. The multiple is used to estimate the enterprise value of the underlying investment. The discounted cash flow technique is an analysis whereby future expected cash flows of the investment are discounted to determine a present value using a discount rate.

 

Generally, new investments not valued by a third-party pricing service are held at purchase price until the investment has been held by the Fund for a full quarter. The investment is generally transitioned to an independent third-party valuation specialist to assist the Fair Value Pricing Committee in determining the application of a valuation methodology at the next valuation date. The Fair Value Pricing Committee will convene if there has been a material change to the underlying company, industry or market between the time of investment and the valuation date.

 

Securities Transactions, Revenue Recognition and Expenses

 

The Fund records its investment transactions on a trade date basis. The Fund measures realized gains or losses by the difference between the net proceeds from the repayment or sale and the amortized cost basis of the investment, using the specified identification method. Interest income, adjusted for amortization of premium and accretion of discount, is recorded on an accrual basis. Discount and premium to par value on investments acquired are accreted and amortized, respectively, into interest income over the life of the respective investment using the effective interest method. Loan origination fees, original issue discount and market discount or premium are capitalized and amortized against or accreted into interest income using the effective interest method or straight-line method, as applicable. For the Fund’s investments in revolving bank loans, the cost basis of the investment purchased is adjusted for the cash received for the discount on the total balance committed. The fair value is also adjusted for price appreciation or depreciation on the unfunded portion. Upon prepayment of a loan or debt security, any prepayment premium is recorded as interest income.

 

 

 

Dividend income on preferred equity investments is recorded on an accrual basis to the extent that such amounts are payable by the portfolio company and are expected to be collected. Dividend income on common equity investments is recorded on the record date for private portfolio companies and on the ex-dividend date for publicly traded portfolio companies. Distributions received from a limited liability company or limited partnership investment are evaluated to determine if the distribution should be recorded as dividend income or a return of capital.

 

Income from securitization vehicles and equity investments in the equity class securities of CLO vehicles (typically income notes or subordinated notes) is recorded daily using the effective interest method in accordance with the provisions of ASC 325-40, Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Assets, based upon a calculation of the effective yield to the expected redemption date based on an estimate of future cash flows, including those CLO equity investments that have not made their inaugural distribution for the relevant period end. The Fund monitors the expected residual payments, and the effective yield is determined and updated quarterly.

 

Certain investments may have contractual payment-in-kind (“PIK”) interest or dividends. PIK represents accrued interest or accumulated dividends that are added to the loan principal of the investment on the respective interest or dividend payment dates rather than being paid in cash and generally becomes due at maturity or upon being called by the issuer. PIK is recorded as interest or dividend income, as applicable. If at any point the Fund believes PIK is not expected to be realized, the investment generating PIK will be placed on non-accrual status. Accrued PIK interest or dividends are generally reversed through interest or dividend income, respectively, when an investment is placed on non-accrual status.

 

Expenses are recorded on an accrual basis.

 

Foreign Currency Translation The books and records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment valuations and other assets and liabilities initially expressed in foreign currencies are converted each business day into U.S. dollars based upon current exchange rates. Prevailing foreign exchange rates may generally be obtained at the close of the NYSE (normally, 4:00 p.m. EST).

 

Foreign Securities The Fund may directly purchase securities of foreign issuers. Investing in securities of foreign issuers involves special risks not typically associated with investing in securities of U.S. issuers. The risks include possible revaluation of currencies, the ability to repatriate funds, less complete financial information about companies and possible future adverse political and economic developments. Moreover, securities of many foreign issuers and their markets may be less liquid and their prices more volatile than those of securities of comparable U.S. issuers.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents The Fund places its cash with one banking institution, which is insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). The FDIC limit is $250,000. At various times throughout the year, the amount on deposit may exceed the FDIC limit and subject the Fund to a credit risk. The Fund does not believe that such deposits are subject to any unusual risk associated with investment activities.

 

Loan Participation and Assignments The Fund may invest in direct debt instruments, which are interests in amounts owed to lenders or lending syndicates by corporate, governmental, or other borrowers. The Fund’s investments in loans may be in the form of participations in loans or assignments of all or a portion of the loans from third parties. A loan is often administered by a bank or other financial institution (the “agent”) that acts as agent for all holders. The agent administers the terms of the loan, as specified in the loan agreement. The Fund may invest in multiple series or tranches of a loan, which may have varying terms and carry different associated risks. The Fund generally has no right to enforce compliance with the terms of the loan agreement with the borrower. As a result, the Fund may be subject to the credit risk of both the borrower and the agent that is selling the loan agreement. When the Fund purchases assignments from lenders they acquire direct rights against the borrower of the loan. The Fund may enter into unfunded loan commitments, which are contractual obligations for future funding. Unfunded loan commitments represent a future obligation in full, even though a percentage of the notional loan amounts may not be utilized by the borrower. When investing in a loan participation, the Fund has the right to receive payments of principal, interest and any fees to which it is entitled only from the agent selling the loan agreement and only upon receipt of payments by the agent from the borrower. The Fund may receive a fee based on the undrawn portion of the underlying line of credit of a floating rate loan. In certain circumstances, the Fund may receive a penalty fee upon the prepayment of a floating rate loan by a borrower. For the period ended September 30, 2019, no penalty fees were received by the Fund. Fees earned or paid are recorded as a component of interest income or interest expense. At September 30, 2019, the Fund had $4,912,211 at par value in unfunded loan commitments.

 

Defaulted Securities The Fund held defaulted securities and/or other securities for which the income has been deemed uncollectible. As of September 30, 2019, the aggregate value of those securities was $ 4,009,762 representing 1.20% of the Fund's net assets. The Fund no longer accrues income on securities for which income has been deemed uncollectible. Additionally, the Fund provides for losses on interest of receivable. Such securities have been identified on the accompanying Consolidated Schedule of Investments.

 

 

 

Indemnification The Fund indemnifies its Officers and Trustees for certain liabilities that may arise from the performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties and which provide general indemnities. 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 industry experience, the Fund expects the risk of loss due to these warranties and indemnities to be remote.

 

3. DERIVATIVE TRANSACTIONS

 

 

The Fund’s investment objectives allow the Fund to enter into various types of derivative contracts such as total return swaps and forward foreign currency contracts. In doing so, the Fund and its Swap Subsidiary will employ strategies in differing combinations to permit it to increase, decrease, or change the level or types of exposure to market factors. Central to those strategies are features inherent to derivatives that make them more attractive for this purpose than equity or debt securities; they require little or no initial cash investment, they can focus exposure only on certain selected risk factors, and they may not require the ultimate receipt or delivery of the underlying security (or securities) to the contract. This may allow the Fund to pursue its objectives more quickly and efficiently than if it were to make direct purchases or sales of securities capable of effecting a similar response to market factors.

 

Risk of Investing in Derivatives – The Fund’s use of derivatives can result in losses due to unanticipated changes in the market risk factors and the overall market. Derivatives may have little or no initial cash investment relative to their market value exposure and therefore can produce significant gains or losses in excess of their cost. This use of embedded leverage allows the Fund to increase its market value exposure relative to its net assets and can substantially increase the volatility of the Fund’s performance. Additional associated risks from investing in derivatives also exist and potentially could have significant effects on the valuation of the derivative and the Fund. Typically, the associated risks are not the risks that the Fund is attempting to increase or decrease exposure to, per their investment objectives, but are the additional risks from investing in derivatives. Examples of these associated risks are liquidity risk, which is the risk that the Fund will not be able to sell the derivative in the open market in a timely manner, and counterparty credit risk, which is the risk that the counterparty will not fulfill its obligation to the Fund.

 

Forward Foreign Currency Contracts The Fund engaged in currency transactions with counterparties during the period ended September 30, 2019 to hedge the value of portfolio securities denominated in particular currencies against fluctuations in relative value or to gain or reduce exposure to certain currencies. A forward foreign currency contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell a currency at a set price on a future date. The contract is marked-to-market daily and the change in value is recorded by the Fund as an unrealized gain or loss. When a forward foreign currency contract is terminated, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value of the contract at the time it was extinguished.

 

The Fund bears the risk of an unfavorable change in the foreign exchange rate underlying the forward foreign currency contract. Risks may also arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of the counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are typically valued at their quoted daily prices obtained from an independent pricing service.

 

Total Return Swap Contracts The Fund’s Swap Subsidiary has entered into a series of single-asset total return swaps on individual bank loans with Citibank, N.A. (“Citi”) as the counterparty. The Swaps allow the Fund to indirectly obtain exposure to the Reference Assets, each a bank loan, without owning or taking physical custody of the underlying bank loans. Each Swap is an agreement between the Swap Subsidiary and Citi in which Citi has contractually committed to make payments based on the total return (income plus realized appreciation) of each Reference Asset in exchange for a periodic payment from the Swap Subsidiary based on a floating interest rate and any realized depreciation of each Reference Asset. If the total return of the Reference Asset exceeds or falls short of the offsetting floating interest rate obligation, the Swap Subsidiary receives payment from or makes payment to Citi, respectively. Additionally, the Fund’s Swap Subsidiary posts collateral to cover its potential contractual obligations under the Swaps. Each Swap is marked-to-market daily consistent with the Fund’s Valuation Policy and changes in value are recorded by the Fund as unrealized gain or loss. When a Swap is terminated, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the Swap at the time it was opened and the value of the Swap at the time it was terminated.

 

The Swaps effectively add leverage to the Fund’s portfolio by providing investment exposure to underlying bank loans without owning or taking physical custody of such bank loans. In an effort to limit leverage risk, the Fund will earmark assets determined to be liquid to cover its obligations under the Swap agreements. The use of Swaps includes the risks associated with each Reference Asset including the risk that the underlying bank loan defaults. The Fund bears the risk of unfavorable changes in market prices of the underlying Reference Assets. Risk may also arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of the counterparty to meet the terms of its contract.
