Management Discussion of Fund Performance (Unaudited)

June 2025

Dear Investor,

The Q1 2025 and final quarterly reporting package for The Endowment PMF Master Fund, L.P and its related feeder funds (collectively, the “Fund”) is attached and includes your final capital account statement and final audited financial statements. The statements in this package are inclusive of the final liquidating distribution and reflect investor share balances to be zero. Please see the remaining target dates related to the Fund:

        Final liquidating distribution was effective March 31, 2025 and paid April 15, 2025 (depending on your intermediary institution the actual date received by each investor may differ)

        May 8, 2025: Final quarterly client call

        June 2025: Final quarterly package distributed to investors

        July 2025: 2024 Tax Year K-1s are expected to be distributed to investors (in line with prior years)

        July 2026: 2025 and Final K-1s are expected to be distributed to investors

        September 2026: Fund Service Desk closes

        Phone: 855.553.5503
Email: [email protected]

As communicated in the investor letter sent in February 2025 and disclosed on previous quarterly calls (most recently on May 8, 2025), the Fund was established in 2014 with a defined 10-year passive liquidation period. As of March 31, 2024, the Fund entered into active liquidation as mandated by the Fund’s governing documents. Cypress Creek Partners, acting as the Adviser and Liquidation Administration Agent of the Fund, was granted additional authority to actively liquidate any remaining investments, and pursued multiple liquidity paths for each position. As of March 31, 2025, the Fund was fully liquidated.

The liquidation followed the requirements of the Fund’s governing documents, which state:

“and the proceeds from [the] liquidation (after establishment of appropriate reserves for all claims and obligations, in an amount that the General Partner or liquidator deems appropriate in its sole discretion as applicable) will be distributed in the following manner (1) the debts of the Partnership, other than debts, liabilities or obligations to Limited Partners, and the expenses of liquidation (including legal and accounting fees and expenses incurred in connection with the liquidation), up to and including the date on which distribution of the Partnership’s assets to the Partners has been completed, will first be paid on a proportionate basis; (2) any debts, liabilities or obligations owing to the Limited Partners will be paid next in their order of seniority and on a proportionate basis; and (3) the Partners are paid next on a proportionate basis the positive balances of their Capital Accounts after giving effect to all allocations to be made to the Partners’ Capital Accounts for the Fiscal Period ending on the date of the distributions.”

Any defined terms above are defined in the Fund’s governing documents. The feeder funds will be dissolved upon the dissolution of The Endowment PMF Master Fund, L.P.

1

As part of the liquidation process, The Private Capital Advisory team at Jefferies Investment Bank was hired by the Fund to run a secondary market sales process for the portfolio. As a reminder, the secondary market traditionally operates at a discount to NAV (in return for accelerating liquidity to investors in what are very illiquid investments). Additionally, Jefferies and other secondary market brokers expected discounts of up to 50% for a portfolio of this nature. Our internal target was to achieve 60% of NAV on a gross basis as of the start of the process. The Fund was able to achieve slightly better than 61% of September 2023 record date NAV, pre-expenses. The goal as defined in the Fund governance documents was to optimize both the timing and amount of distributions to investors and mandated that the Adviser promptly liquidate any remaining assets of the Fund beginning April 1, 2024.

In April 2025, there was a final liquidating distribution effective March 31, 2025, which was distributed on April 15, 2025, and brought each investor’s capital account balance to zero. The Fund achieved approximately a cumulative 110% of distributions to original paid-in capital since the Fund’s inception in April of 2014 (and over $400 million of distributions since Cypress Creek took over management of the fund four years ago). This represents over $1.8 billion in total distributions during the life of the fund. There are no further distributions expected to be paid, the Fund is fully liquidated, account balances are zero and no actions are needed on your side.

Should you have any questions, please contact the Cypress Creek Partners Investor Relations team at [email protected] or 800.725.9456. For administrative matters, such as wires, account balances, statements, or account maintenance requests, please contact our Fund Service Desk at 855.553.5503 or by email at [email protected].

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Partners and the Board of Directors of The Endowment PMF Master Fund, L.P.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets, liabilities and partners’ capital of The Endowment PMF Master Fund, L.P. (the Master Fund), including the schedule of investments, as of March 31, 2025, the related statements of operations and cash flows for the year then ended, the statements of changes in partners’ capital for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements (collectively, the financial statements), and the financial highlights for the years ended March 31, 2025, March 31, 2024, and March 31, 2023,the period from January 1, 2022 to March 31, 2022 and for the year ended December 31, 2021. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Master Fund as of March 31, 2025, the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended, the changes in partners’ capital for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for the years ended March, 31, 2025, March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023, the period from January 1, 2022 to March 31, 2022 and for the year ended December 31, 2021, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The financial highlights for the year ended December 31, 2020, for the Master Fund were audited by other auditors. Those auditors expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements and financial highlights in their report dated February 26, 2021.

Basis for Opinion

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

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Master Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Master Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of investments owned as of March 31, 2025, by correspondence with the custodians, underlying fund advisors or by other appropriate audit procedures where replies were not received. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Emphasis of a Matter

As described in Notes 1, 8 and 11 to the financial statements, in accordance with its limited partnership agreement, the Master Fund entered into active liquidation effective April 1, 2024. All distributable assets have been distributed to the shareholders on April 15, 2025, and the Fund filed a Form N-8F for deregistration with the SEC. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.

THE ENDOWMENT PMF MASTER FUND, L.P.
(A Limited Partnership)

Notes to Financial Statements
March 31, 2025

(1)    ORGANIZATION

The Endowment PMF Master Fund, L.P. (the “Master Fund”), a Delaware limited partnership, commenced operations on March 31, 2014 and received in an in-kind transfer a portfolio of investment funds including, but not limited to, limited partnerships, limited liability companies, offshore corporations and other foreign investment vehicles (collectively, the “Investment Funds”) from Cypress Creek Private Strategies Master Fund, L.P. (formerly Salient Private Access Master Fund, L.P., which was formerly The Endowment Master Fund, L.P., the “Legacy Master Fund”), in exchange for limited partnership interests (the “Interests”) of the Master Fund. The Master Fund is registered as a non-diversified, closed-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The Master Fund is the master fund in a master-feeder structure in which there are currently three feeder funds.

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

The Board is authorized to engage an investment adviser, and pursuant to an investment management agreement, (the “Investment Management Agreement”), it selected Endowment Advisers, L.P. d/b/a Cypress Creek Partners (the “Adviser”), to manage the Master Fund’s portfolio and operations. The Adviser is a Delaware limited partnership that is registered as an investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (the “Advisers Act”). The Adviser manages the Master Fund portfolio primarily in a passive manner whereby the Master Fund holds to self-liquidation private equity and other similar illiquid interests in Investment Funds while managing the Master Fund’s cash to ensure the Master Fund maintains the ability to satisfy outstanding commitments.

The Master Fund’s limited partnership agreement requires that the Master Fund be dissolved promptly upon the occurrence of the ten-year anniversary of its creation. Accordingly, following the occurrence of this anniversary, the Master Fund entered active liquidation on April 1, 2024. Effective July 17, 2023, the Adviser was appointed by the Board to serve as Liquidation Administration Agent to foster the prompt liquidation of the business and administrative affairs of the Master Fund. Pursuant to the Master Fund’s limited partnership agreement, the proceeds from liquidation (representing the net proceeds from asset sales after establishment of appropriate reserves for all claims and obligations of the Master Fund) were distributed in the following manner (1st) to pay the debts of the Master Fund, other than debts, liabilities or obligations to Limited Partners, and the expenses of liquidation (including legal and accounting fees and expenses incurred in connection with the liquidation), up to and including the date on which distribution of the Master Fund’s assets to the Limited Partners was completed; (2nd) to pay any debts, liabilities or obligations owing to the Limited Partners in their order of seniority and on a proportionate basis; and (3rd) to the Limited Partners on a proportionate basis the positive balances of their capital accounts after giving effect to all allocations made to the Limited Partners’ capital accounts for the year ended March 31, 2025, the effective date of the final distribution.

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

(A Limited Partnership)

Notes to Financial Statements, continued
March 31, 2025

(2)   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND PRACTICES

(a)    BASIS OF ACCOUNTING

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

(b)    SEGMENT REPORTING

During this reporting period, the Master Fund adopted FASB Accounting Standards Update 2023-07, Segment Reporting (“Topic 280”) — Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”). Adoption of the new standard impacted the disclosures on financial statements only and did not affect the Master Fund’s financial position or the results of the Master Fund’s operations. An operating segment is defined in Topic 280 as a component of a public entity that engages in business activities from which it may recognize revenues and incur expenses, has operating results that are regularly reviewed by the public entity’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance, and has discrete financial information available. The Master Fund’s Adviser acts as the Master Fund’s CODM. The Master Fund represents a single operating segment, as the CODM monitors the operating results of the Master Fund as a whole and the Master Fund’s long-term strategic asset allocation is pre-determined in accordance with the terms of its defined investment strategy which is executed by the Master Fund’s portfolio managers. The financial information in the form of the Master Fund’s portfolio composition, total returns, expense ratios and changes in net assets (i.e., changes in net assets resulting from operations, subscriptions and redemptions), which are used by the CODM to assess the segment’s performance versus the Master Fund’s comparative benchmarks and to make resource allocation decisions for the Master Fund’s single segment, is consistent with the information presented within the Master Fund’s financial statements and the financial highlights. Segment assets are reflected on the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities as “net assets” and significant segment expenses are listed on the accompanying statement of operations.

(c)    CASH EQUIVALENTS

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

(d)    INVESTMENT SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS

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

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

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

THE ENDOWMENT PMF MASTER FUND, L.P.
(A Limited Partnership)

Notes to Financial Statements, continued
March 31, 2025

(e)    INVESTMENT VALUATION

The valuation of the Master Fund’s Investment Funds are determined as of the close of business at the end of each reporting period, generally quarterly. The valuation of the Master Fund’s Investment Funds was calculated by UMB Fund Services, Inc., the Master Fund’s independent administrator (the “Administrator”). Select Investment Funds were fair valued in good faith by the Advisor.

The Board is responsible for overseeing the Master Fund’s valuation policies, making recommendations to the Adviser on valuation-related matters, and overseeing implementation by the Adviser of such valuation policies.

Pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act, the Board has delegated day-to-day management of the valuation process to the Adviser as the appointed Valuation Designee, which has established a valuation committee (the “Adviser Valuation Committee”) to carry out this function. The Valuation Designee is subject to the oversight of the Board. The Valuation Designee is responsible for assessing and managing key valuation risk, and is generally to review valuation methodologies, valuation determinations, and any information provided by the Adviser or the Administrator.

Investments held by the Master Fund were historically valued as follows:

        INVESTMENT FUNDS — Investments in Investment Funds that do not have a readily determinable fair value are carried at fair value, using the net asset value (the “NAV”) as a practical expedient, as provided to the Administrator by the investment managers of such Investment Funds or the administrators of such Investment Funds. These Investment Funds value their underlying investments in accordance with policies established by such Investment Funds. Prior to investing in any Investment Fund, the Adviser Valuation Committee, as part of the due diligence process, conducts a review of the valuation methodologies employed by the Investment Fund to determine whether such methods are appropriate for the asset types. All of the Master Fund’s valuations utilize financial information supplied by each Investment Fund and are net of management and estimated performance incentive fees or allocations payable to the Investment Funds’ managers pursuant to the Investment Funds’ agreements. Generally, Investment Funds in which the Master Fund invests will use market value when available, and otherwise will use principles of fair value applied in good faith. The Adviser Valuation Committee will consider whether it is appropriate, in light of the relevant circumstances, to value shares at NAV as reported by an Investment Fund for valuation purposes, or whether to adjust such reported value to reflect an adjusted fair value. Because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation, fair value may differ significantly from the value that would have been used had readily available markets for the investments in Investment Funds existed. The Master Fund’s investments in Investment Funds are subject to the terms and conditions of the respective operating agreements and offering memoranda of such Investment Funds.

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

THE ENDOWMENT PMF MASTER FUND, L.P.
(A Limited Partnership)

Notes to Financial Statements, continued
March 31, 2025

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

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

(f)    FOREIGN CURRENCY

The accounting records of the Master Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currency amounts and investments denominated in a foreign currency, if any, are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at current exchange rates on the valuation date. Purchases and sales of investments denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at the exchange rate on the respective dates of such transactions. The Master Fund does not segregate the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments and foreign currency translations reported in the accompanying Statement of Operations and Statement of Changes in Partners’ Capital.

(g)    CFTC REGULATION

On August 13, 2013, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”) adopted rules to harmonize conflicting Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and CFTC disclosure, reporting and recordkeeping requirements for RICs that do not meet an exemption from the definition of commodity pool. The harmonization rules provide that the CFTC will accept the SEC’s disclosure, reporting, and recordkeeping regime as substituted compliance for substantially all of the otherwise applicable CFTC regulations as long as such investment companies meet the applicable SEC requirements. Previously, in November 2012, the CFTC issued relief for fund of fund operators, including advisers to RIC’s, that may otherwise be required to register with the CFTC as commodity pool operators but do not have access to information from the investment funds in which they are invested in order to determine whether such registration is required. This relief delayed the registration date for such operators until the later of June 30, 2013 or six months from the date the CFTC issues revised guidance on the application of certain thresholds with respect to investments in commodities held by funds of funds. In December 2012, the Master Fund filed as required with the CFTC in order to claim this no-action relief, which was effective upon receipt of the filing. Although the CFTC now has adopted harmonization rules applicable to investment companies that are deemed to be commodity pools, the CFTC has not yet issued guidance on how funds of funds are to determine whether they are deemed to be commodity pools. As of March 31, 2025, the Master Fund is not considered a commodity pool and continues to rely on the fund of fund no-action relief.

(h)   INVESTMENT INCOME

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

(i)     FUND EXPENSES

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

(j)     INCOME TAXES

The Master Fund is organized and operates as a limited partnership and is not subject to income taxes as a separate entity. Such taxes are the responsibility of the individual partners. Accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been made in the Master Fund’s financial statements. Investments in foreign securities may result in foreign taxes being withheld by the issuer of such securities. For U.S. offshore withholding tax, the Master Fund serves as withholding agent for its offshore feeder funds. For the current open tax years, and for all major jurisdictions, management of the Master Fund has evaluated the tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Master Fund’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions will “more-likely-than-not” be sustained by the Master Fund upon challenge by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold and that would result in a tax benefit or expense to the Master Fund would be recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current period.

For the year ended March 31, 2025, the Master Fund did not recognize any amounts for unrecognized tax benefit/expense. A reconciliation of unrecognized tax benefit/expense is not provided herein, as the beginning and ending amounts of unrecognized tax benefit/expense are zero, with no interim additions, reductions or settlements. Tax positions taken in tax years which remain open under the statute of limitations (generally three years for federal income tax purposes and four years for state income tax purposes) are subject to examination by federal and state tax jurisdictions.

(k)    USE OF ESTIMATES

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

(3)    FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

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

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

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

        Level 2 — investments with other significant observable inputs

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

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

The Master Fund establishes valuation processes and procedures to ensure that the valuation techniques for investments categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy are fair, consistent, and appropriate. The Adviser is responsible for developing the Master Fund’s written valuation processes and procedures, conducting periodic reviews of the valuation policies, and evaluating the overall fairness and consistent application of the valuation policies. The Board has authorized the Adviser to oversee the implementation of the Board-approved valuation procedures by the Administrator. The Adviser Valuation Committee is comprised of various members of the Adviser’s team. The Adviser Valuation Committee generally meets on a monthly basis to determine the valuations of the Master Fund’s investments. The valuations are supported by methodologies adopted by the Adviser and documented in the Adviser’s Valuation Policy.

The following is a roll forward of the activity in investments in which significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) were used in determining fair value on a recurring basis:

The Master Fund’s Level 3 investments have historically been valued using unadjusted inputs that have not been internally developed by the Master Fund, which include third-party secondary market transactions in close proximity to the Master Fund’s fiscal year-end or values derived from an analysis of the financial statements of the underlying Investment Fund.

The Master Fund is permitted to invest in alternative investments that may not have a readily determinable fair value. For an investment that does not have a readily determinable fair value, the Master Fund uses the NAV reported by the Investment Fund as a practical expedient, without further adjustment. The Master Fund’s policy is to use the NAV as the practical expedient except when it is probable that the Master Fund will sell the investment for an amount different from the net asset value per share. The Master Fund’s policy is to consider the sale of an investment to be probable only upon the execution of a purchase and sales agreement with a qualified buyer. If the practical expedient NAV is not as of the reporting entity’s measurement date, then the NAV is adjusted to reflect any significant events that would materially affect the value of the investment and the NAV of the Master Fund as of the valuation date.

As of March 31, 2025, the Master Fund had no investments.

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

(4)   PARTNERS’ CAPITAL ACCOUNTS

(a)   ISSUANCE OF INTERESTS

Interests of the Master Fund are generally available only to those investors who received Interests as in-kind repurchase proceeds for their tendered interests in one of the feeder funds to the Legacy Master Fund. Interests of the Master Fund will generally not otherwise be offered or sold. Effective March 31, 2025, as a result of the liquidation, the Master Fund no longer accepts subscriptions.

(b)   ALLOCATION OF PROFITS AND LOSSES

For each fiscal period, generally quarterly, net profits or net losses of the Master Fund are allocated among and credited to or debited against the capital accounts of all partners as of the last day of each fiscal period in accordance with the partners’ respective capital account ownership percentage for the fiscal period. Net profits or net losses are measured as the net change in the value of the partners’ capital of the Master Fund, including any change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation of investments and income, net of expenses, and realized gains or losses during a fiscal period.

(c)   REPURCHASE OF INTERESTS

A partner will not have the right to require the Master Fund to repurchase all or any portion of an Interest at the partner’s discretion at any time. Partners may not be able to liquidate their investment other than as a result of repurchases of Interests as described below. Interests are not redeemable nor are they exchangeable for Interests or shares of any other fund.

The Master Fund anticipates making quarterly distributions on a pro rata basis to all investors in an amount equal to the Master Fund’s excess cash (“Excess Cash”). Excess Cash is defined as the amount of cash on hand over and above the amount necessary or prudent for operational and regulatory purposes (“Required Cash”). The amount of Required Cash is determined by the Adviser with oversight by the Board. Excess Cash is generally distributed in the subsequent quarter or quarters where the aggregate of Excess Cash from such subsequent quarter(s) and prior quarters exceeds a threshold of $10 million. Intra-quarter distributions may also be made if Excess Cash exceeds a threshold of $25 million as of the forty fifth day after the end of any quarter. The Master Fund may make in-kind distributions of portfolio securities as deemed necessary. Total distributions during the year ended March 31, 2024, were $52,100,000, and total distributions of $114,374,490 were made during the year ended March 31, 2025, of which $20,830,016 was outstanding as a payable at March 31, 2025. The Master Fund made its final distribution effective March 31, 2025 in the amount of $20,830,016 paid on April 15, 2025.

(5)   INVESTMENTS IN PORTFOLIO SECURITIES

(a)   INVESTMENT ACTIVITY

As of March 31, 2025, there were no investments held in the Master Fund. The agreements related to investments in Investment Funds provide for compensation to the Investment Funds’ managers/general partners or advisers in the form of management fees. In addition, many Investment Funds also provide for performance incentive fees/allocations of an Investment Fund’s net profits. These management fees and incentive fees are in addition to the management fees charged by the Master Fund.

For the year ended March 31, 2025, the aggregate cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investments (excluding short-term investments) were $126,658 and $105,226,442, respectively.

THE ENDOWMENT PMF MASTER FUND, L.P.
(A Limited Partnership)

Notes to Financial Statements, continued
March 31, 2025

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

The underlying investments generally do not provide the Master Fund with tax reporting information until well after year end, and as a result, the Master Fund is unable to calculate the year end tax cost of its investments until such time. As of March 31, 2025 the Master Fund had no book cost basis to report.

(6)   FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK

In the normal course of business, the Investment Funds in which the Master Fund invests may trade various derivative securities and other financial instruments, and may enter into various investment activities with off-balance sheet risk both as an investor and as a principal. The Master Fund’s risk of loss in these Investment Funds is limited to the value of its investment in such Investment Funds.

(7)   ADMINISTRATION AGREEMENT

In consideration for administrative, accounting, and recordkeeping services, the Master Fund pays the Administrator a monthly administration fee based on the month-end partners’ capital. The Master Fund is charged, on an annual basis, 6 basis points on partners’ capital of up to $100 million, 5 basis points on partners’ capital on the next 100 million, 4 basis points on the next 100 million, and 3 basis points on partners’ capital over 300 million. The administration fee is subject to an annual minimum fee of $125,000. The administration fee is payable monthly in arrears. The Administrator also provides compliance, transfer agency, and other investor related services at an additional cost. The total administration fee incurred for the year ended March 31, 2025, was $162,305, none of which was outstanding as a payable at March 31, 2025.

(8)   RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

(a)   INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT FEE

In consideration of the advisory and other services provided by the Adviser to the Master Fund, the Master Fund previously paid the Adviser an investment management fee (the “Investment Management Fee”) equal to 0.40% on an annualized basis of the Master Fund’s partners’ capital at the end of each month, payable monthly in arrears, until the period ending March 31, 2024. As a result, the Advisor was not entitled to, and was not paid, an Investment Management Fee for the year ended March 31, 2025.

(b)   EXPENSE LIMITATION AGREEMENT

Pursuant to the Master Fund’s limited partnership agreement there is an expense limitation in which the Adviser contractually agreed to limit total annualized expenses of the Master Fund, to the amount of 1.25%, exclusive of fees and expenses of underlying investment funds, borrowing and other investment-related costs and fees, taxes, litigation, liquidation agent fees, and other extraordinary expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of the Master Fund’s business (the “Expense Limitation”).

Under the Expense Limitation, the Adviser is permitted to recover in later periods expenses it has borne to the extent that the Master Fund’s expenses fall below the rate in effect at the time of the waiver. The Master Fund, however, is not obligated to pay any such amounts beyond three years after the end of the fiscal year in which the Adviser reimbursed such expense.

15

THE ENDOWMENT PMF MASTER FUND, L.P.
(A Limited Partnership)

Notes to Financial Statements, continued
March 31, 2025

Any such recoupment by the Adviser shall not cause the Master Fund to exceed the annual Expense Limitation rate that was in effect at the time of such waiver or reimbursement. For the year ended March 31, 2025, no such expense waiver or recoupment has been incurred by the Master Fund.

(c)   LIQUIDATION ADMINISTRATION AGREEMENT

Effective July 17, 2023, the Adviser was appointed by the Board to serve as Liquidation Administration Agent (the “Agent”), to foster the prompt liquidation of the business and administrative affairs of the Master Fund. In consideration for these services, the Master Fund will pay the Adviser a liquidating agent service fee (the “Liquidating Agent Service Fee”) that will be paid in four installments over the course of the liquidation process.

The Master Fund’s partners bear an indirect portion of the Liquidating Agent Service Fee paid by the Master Fund. The Liquidating Agent Service Fee decreases the net profits or increases the net losses of the Master Fund that are credited to or debited against the capital accounts of its partners. For the years ended March 31, 2024 and 2025, $1,332,500 and $2,276,905 were paid for the Liquidating Agent Service Fee, of which $999,375 was remaining as a prepaid asset at March 31, 2025.

*        The Master Fund has changed its fiscal year end from December 31 to March 31. This period represents the 3-month period from January 1, 2022, to March 31, 2022.

(1)      Ratios are calculated by dividing the indicated amount by average partners’ capital measured at the end of each month during the period. Ratios are annualized for periods less than 12 months.

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

(3)      The internal rate of return since inception (“IRR”) of the limited partners is net of all fees and profit allocations to the Adviser. The IRR reported is for the Master Fund as a whole. The IRR was computed based on the actual dates of the cash inflows (capital contributions), cash outflows (cash distributions) and the ending partners’ capital as of March 31, 2025 (the residual value).

(4)      The total return of the Master Fund is calculated as geometrically linked monthly returns for each month in the period, not annualized for periods less than 12 months.

(10) INVESTMENT-RELATED RISKS

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

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

(a)   HIGHLY VOLATILE MARKETS RISK

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

(b)   NON-U.S. INVESTMENT RISK

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

17

THE ENDOWMENT PMF MASTER FUND, L.P.
(A Limited Partnership)

Notes to Financial Statements, continued
March 31, 2025

such respects as growth of gross national product, rate of inflation, capital reinvestment, resource self-sufficiency, and balance of payments position. An Investment Fund’s investment in non-U.S. countries may also be subject to withholding or other taxes, which may be significant and may reduce the Investment Fund’s returns.

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

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

(c)   INVESTMENT IN EMERGING MARKETS RISK

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

(d)   FIXED INCOME RISK

The market value of fixed income investments changes in response to interest rate changes and other factors. During periods of rising interest rates, the values of outstanding fixed income securities generally decrease. Moreover, while securities with longer maturities tend to produce higher yields, the prices of longer maturity securities are also subject to greater market value fluctuations as a result of changes in interest rates. During periods of falling interest rates, certain debt obligations with high interest rates may be prepaid (or “called”) by the issuer prior to maturity. This may cause the weighted average weighted maturity of investments to fluctuate and may require investments to invest the resulting proceeds at lower interest rates. Income from the investment’s debt securities portfolio will decline if and when the investment invests the proceeds from matured, traded or called securities in securities with market interest rates that are below the current earnings rate of the investment’s portfolio. A rise in interest rates may also increase volatility and reduce liquidity in the fixed income markets, and result in a decline in the value of the fixed income investments held by Investments. Reductions in dealer market-making capacity as a result of structural or regulatory changes could further decrease liquidity and/or increase volatility in the fixed income markets.

In addition, the impact of any epidemic, pandemic or natural disaster, or widespread fear that such events may occur, could negatively affect the global economy, as well as the economies of individual countries, the financial performance of individual companies and sectors, and the markets in general in significant and unforeseen ways. Any such impact could adversely affect the prices and liquidity of the securities and other instruments in which the Master Fund invests, which in turn could negatively impact the Master Fund’s performance and cause losses on your investment in the Master Fund. Fixed income securities may also be subject to credit risk, which is the possibility that an issuer will be unable or unwilling to make timely payments of either principal or interest. Changes in the actual or perceived creditworthiness of an issuer, factors affecting an issuer directly (such as management changes, labor relations, collapse of key suppliers or customers, or material changes in overhead), factors affecting the industry in which a particular issuer operates (such as competition or technological advances) and changes in general social, economic or political conditions can increase the risk of default by an issuer, which can affect a security’s credit quality or value. Since the Master Fund and investments may purchase securities backed by credit enhancements from banks and other financial institutions, changes in the credit ratings of these institutions could cause the Master Fund to lose money and may affect the Master Fund’s NAV. Moreover, in order to enforce its rights in the event of a default, bankruptcy or similar situation, the Master Fund may be required to retain legal or similar counsel, which may increase the Master Fund’s operating expenses and adversely affect the Master Fund’s NAV.

(e)   FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS AND EXCHANGE RATE RISK

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

19

THE ENDOWMENT PMF MASTER FUND, L.P.
(A Limited Partnership)

Notes to Financial Statements, continued
March 31, 2025

(f)    CONVERGENCE RISK

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

(g)   CORPORATE EVENT RISK

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

(h)   ISSUER RISK

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

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

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

(11) STATUS OF LIQUIDATION AND SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

As of April 1, 2024, the Fund entered active liquidation, as required by its governing documents. Since the commencement of liquidation, the Liquidation Agent has executed multiple Purchase and Sale Agreements (“PSAs”) with qualified buyers to sell all remaining assets.. PSAs executed to date have resulted in an aggregate selling price of $143,230,931, reflecting a weighted average discount of 61.30% of the Record date fair value of Investment Funds sold. All remaining assets were distributed to shareholders, effective as of March 31, 2025. The actual date that final distributions were wired was April 15, 2025. Distributions were made from the Master Fund level to each Feeder Fund. Each Feeder Fund then made the distribution to shareholders. All distributable assets have been distributed to shareholders. The Master Fund filed a Form N-8F for deregistration with the SEC on April 16, 2025.

Board Consideration of the Investment Management Agreements

At an in-person meeting held on February 6, 2025 (“Meeting”), the Fund’s Board of Directors (“Board”), including all of the Fund’s directors who are not “interested persons” as defined under the 1940 Act (“Independent Directors”), considered and unanimously approved the continuation of the Investment Management Agreement between the Fund and the Adviser (the “Advisory Agreement”). In preparation for review of the Advisory Agreement, the Board requested the Adviser to provide detailed information which the Board determined to be reasonably necessary to evaluate the agreement. The Independent Directors met on January 29, 2025 (“Pre-Meeting”), to discuss the responses with the Adviser, and also met in executive session prior to the Meeting to review and discuss aspects of the materials. At both the Pre-Meeting and the Meeting, at the request of the Independent Directors, the Adviser made presentations regarding the materials and responded to questions from the Independent Directors relating to, among other things, portfolio management, the Master Fund’s investment programs, Master Fund’s and Adviser’s compliance programs, Adviser staffing and management changes, Master Fund performance including benchmarks and comparisons to other funds, Master Fund fee levels, other portfolios (including fees) managed by the Adviser and the Adviser’s profitability (including revenue of the Adviser across all of its funds). The Board, including the Independent Directors, also took into consideration information furnished for the Board’s review and consideration throughout the year at regular Board meetings. The Independent Directors were assisted at all times by independent counsel.

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

The nature, extent and quality of the advisory services provided. With respect to the Investment Advisory Agreements, the Board considered: the Adviser’s considerable restructuring of the portfolio’s more liquid portion, the Adviser’s views on the legacy portfolio and the Adviser’s new portfolio investment activity, all within the scope of the Funds’ investment mandate; the background and experience of key investment personnel; the Adviser’s focus on analysis of complex asset categories and their investment relationships; the Adviser’s disciplined investment approach, including continued new private equity investments, and commitment to investment principles; the Adviser’s significant compliance and tax reporting efforts, and oversight of operations; and, the Adviser’s oversight of and interaction with service providers.

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

The investment performance of the Funds. The Board evaluated the comparative information provided by the Adviser regarding the Fund’s investment performance. The Board noted the Funds’ objective of seeking consistent long-term appreciation across a market cycle in light of the continuing constraints on private market exits and liquidity events, and the resulting impact on older private fund investments remaining in the portfolio. The Board reviewed information on the performance of other registered investment funds of private funds and various indices, including the relevance of various indices. The Board also considered various performance reports received throughout the year. The Board noted the Adviser’s efforts in restructuring the portfolio since becoming the investment adviser, its oversight of remaining legacy assets and the Adviser-sourced assets in the portfolio. The Board concluded that the Adviser was able to implement its strategies effectively for the Funds in the context of difficult private markets. Based on the Directors’ assessment, the Directors concluded that the Adviser is capable of generating a level of long-term investment performance in keeping with the Fund’s investment objective, policies and strategies.

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

The extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Fund grows and whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of Fund investors. The Board noted that the Agreements have base management fee breakpoints as the level of Fund assets increase and the Board concluded that the management fees reflect the Fund’s complex operations, the current economic environment for the Adviser, including its continued support and monitoring of the Fund, changes that had been implemented, and the competitive nature of the investment company market as relevant to the Fund. The Board noted the performance fee portion of the fee during the period. The Board also noted that it would have the opportunity periodically to re-examine whether the Fund has achieved economies of scale, as well as the appropriateness of management fees payable to the Adviser, in the future.

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

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

(collectively, the “Funds”)

 

Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures

 

Background

 

The Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “IC Act”) requires that an investment company registered under the IC Act (“RIC”) disclose in its registration statement a description of its adopted policies and procedures that the it uses to determine how to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities, including the procedures that the RIC uses when a vote presents a conflict between the interests of shareholders, on the one hand, and those of the RIC’s investment adviser; principal underwriter; or any affiliated person of the RIC, its investment adviser, or its principal underwriter, on the other.

 

A RIC is also required to include in its registration statement any policies and procedures of its investment adviser, or any other third party, that the RIC uses, or that are used on the RIC’s behalf, to determine how to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities.

 

 

 

Rule 30b1-4 under the IC Act requires a RIC to file with the SEC an annual record of proxies voted by the RIC on Form N-PX. Form N-PX must be filed each year no later than August 31 and must contain each RIC’s proxy voting record for the most recent twelve-month period ending June 30. A RIC must also state in its disclosure documents (in its registration statement and shareholder reports) that information regarding how the RIC voted proxies relating to portfolio securities during the most recent 12-month period ended June 30 is available (1) without charge, upon request, by calling a specified toll-free (or collect) telephone number; or on or through the RIC’s website at a specified Internet address; or both; and (2) on the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov.

 

If a RIC discloses that its proxy voting record is available by calling a toll-free (or collect) telephone number, and the RIC (or financial intermediary through which shares of the RIC may be purchased or sold) receives a request for this information, the RIC (or financial intermediary) must send the information disclosed in the RIC’s most recently filed report on Form N-PX, within three business days of receipt of the request, by first-class mail or other means designed to ensure equally prompt delivery.

 

If a RIC discloses that its proxy voting record is available on or through its website, the RIC must make available free of charge the information disclosed in the RIC’s most recently filed report on Form N-PX on or through its website as soon as reasonably practicable after filing the report with the SEC. The information disclosed in the RIC’s most recently filed report on Form N-PX must remain available on or through the RIC’s website for as long as the RIC remains subject to the requirements of Rule 30b1-4 and discloses that the RIC’s proxy voting record is available on or through its website.

 

This policy and procedures outline obligations for disclosure and filing requirements that are performed on behalf of the Funds by the Fund Administrator.

 

Policies and Procedures

 

It is the policy of the Funds that proxies should be voted in the interest of the shareholders of the appropriate Fund, as determined by those who are in the best position to make this determination.

 

The Master Fund and PMF Master Fund invest in a broad portfolio consisting primarily of private partnerships, limited liability companies or similar entities managed by third-party investment managers (“Investment Funds”). The Master Fund also makes direct investments for hedging purposes, to hedge existing exposure to an asset class or strategy, or to gain access to an investment opportunity, an asset class, or a strategy in a cost-effective manner. To the extent that the Master Fund or PMF Master Fund receive notices or proxies from Investment Funds or other portfolio securities or holds securities in a separate account, the Board has delegated proxy voting responsibilities with respect to the Master Fund’s and PMF Master Fund’s portfolio securities to the Adviser, subject to the Board’s general oversight. The Adviser has agreed to vote the proxy ballots received on behalf of the Funds and will vote such proxies in accordance with its proxy voting policies and guidelines which are included in the Adviser’s compliance manual and reviewed by the Board at least annually.

 

The Registered Fund, TEI Fund, Institutional Fund, PMF Fund and PMF TEI Fund invest substantially all of their respective assets in the Master Fund or PMF Master Fund. With respect to proxies issued by the Master Fund and PMF Master Fund, the Board of the Registered Fund, TEI Fund, Institutional Fund, PMF Fund and PMF TEI Fund retains proxy voting authority. After receiving a proxy issued by the Master Fund or PMF Master Fund, the Registered Fund, TEI Fund, Institutional Fund, PMF Fund and PMF TEI Fund will hold a meeting of its shareholders to obtain instructions for voting with respect to the matter presented by the Master Fund or PMF Master Fund.

Conflicts of Interest of the Adviser

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

 

 

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

 

Compensation to Portfolio Managers

 

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