The interest rate disclosed is based on the reference rate as of the last reset date which may differ from the reference rate as of June 30, 2025. As of June 30, 2025, effective rates for 1 Month SOFR, 3 Month SOFR, 6 Month SOFR and PRIME are 4.319%, 4.342%, 4.371% and 7.500%, respectively. For companies with multiple interest rate contracts, the interest rate shown is a weighted average current interest rate in effect as of June 30, 2025.

StepStone Private Credit Income Fund
Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements
June 30, 2025
1. Organization
StepStone Private Credit Income Fund (“Fund”) was organized as a Delaware statutory trust under the Delaware Statutory Trust Act on December 18, 2023 (“Inception”) and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, (“1940 Act”) as a non-diversified, closed-end management investment company that is operated as an interval fund. The Fund commenced operations on June 3, 2024 (“Commencement of Operations”).
The Fund offers an unlimited number of shares in three share classes designated as Class I Shares, Class D Shares, and Class S Shares (together, “Shares”). On January 17, 2025, the Fund converted all outstanding Class T shares into Class S shares and ceased offering Class T shares. The Shares are offered on a continuous basis at the then-current-daily net asset value (“NAV”) per share, adjusted for sales load, if applicable. The Fund is structured as an interval fund and conducts quarterly offers to repurchase between 5.00% and 25.00% of its outstanding Shares at NAV, pursuant to Rule 23c-3 under the 1940 Act, unless such offer is suspended or postponed in accordance with regulatory requirements. The offer to repurchase Shares is a fundamental policy that may not be changed without the vote of the holders of a majority of the Fund’s outstanding voting Shares as defined in the 1940 Act.
The Fund’s Board of Trustees (“Board”) provides broad oversight over the Fund’s investment program, management and operations and has the right to delegate management responsibilities. StepStone Group Private Wealth LLC, an investment adviser registered under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended, and a wholly owned business of StepStone Group LP (“StepStone”), serves as the Fund’s investment adviser (“Adviser”). The Adviser oversees the management of the Fund’s day-to-day activities including structuring, governance, distribution, reporting and oversight. StepStone Group Private Debt LLC, an affiliate of StepStone, serves as the Fund’s investment sub-adviser (“Sub-Adviser”) and is responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund’s assets. StepStone Group Europe Alternative Investments Limited (“SGEAIL”), an affiliate of StepStone, serves as the Fund’s investment sub-subadviser (“Sub-Subadviser”) and will provide ongoing research regarding the Fund’s investment portfolio. The Sub-Adviser and Sub-Subadviser are wholly owned subsidiaries of StepStone Group Private Debt AG (formerly, Swiss Capital Alternative Investments AG), which is a subsidiary of StepStone.
The Fund’s investment objectives are to seek to generate current income and, to a lesser extent, long-term capital appreciation. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objectives by investing, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its total assets (net assets plus borrowings for investment purposes) in private credit and income-related investments (“Private Credit Investments”). The Fund defines Private Credit Investments to consist primarily of direct lending and specialty credit strategies. The Fund intends to primarily use a multi-lender approach to achieve its investment objectives while utilizing a variety of non-bank or corporate lenders to source investment opportunities for the Fund. The Fund’s assets may be deployed in investment strategies deemed appropriate under prevailing economic and market conditions to seek to achieve the Fund’s investment objectives.
Master-Feeder Structure
The Fund and CRDEX Equity Partners LLC (“Feeder Fund”) are part of a “master-feeder” structure as described in Note 15. The Feeder Fund invests substantially all of its assets in the Class I Shares of the Fund. As of June 30, 2025, the Feeder Fund owns 71.74% of the Fund’s net assets.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and are presented in U.S. dollars which is the functional currency of the Fund. The Fund is an investment company and therefore applies the accounting and reporting guidance issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 946, Financial Services — Investment Companies. The following are significant accounting policies which are consistently followed in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.
Basis of Consolidation
As provided under ASC Topic 946 and Regulation S-X, the Fund will generally not consolidate its investment in a company other than a wholly-owned or substantially wholly-owned investment company subsidiary whose design and purpose is to act as an extension of the Fund’s investment operations and facilitate the execution of the Fund’s investment strategy. Accordingly, the Fund has consolidated the results of the Fund’s direct wholly-owned subsidiaries including: Great Lakes SSG SPV Holding LLC (“SSG Holdings SPV”), a Delaware limited liability company; CRDEX Cayman LLC, a limited liability company registered in the Cayman Islands; and CRDEX LLC and Great Lakes SSG SPV, which are bankruptcy remote special purpose vehicles organized as a Delaware limited liability companies. The effects of all intercompany transactions between the Fund and its wholly-owned subsidiaries have been eliminated in consolidation.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Changes in the economic environment, financial markets and any other factors or parameters used in determining these estimates could cause actual results to differ materially.
Net Asset Value Determination
The NAV of the Fund is determined as of the close of business on each business day, or as may be determined from time to time in accordance with policies approved by the Board (each, a “Determination Date”). In determining NAV, the Fund’s investments are valued as of the relevant Determination Date. The NAV of the Fund will equal, unless otherwise noted, the value of the total assets of the Fund, less all of its liabilities, including accrued fees and expenses allocated to Shares based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund, each determined as of the relevant Determination Date.
Valuation of Investments
The Fund’s investments are valued as of each Determination Date at fair value consistent with the principles of ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements (“ASC 820”). Pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act, the Board has designated the Adviser as the valuation designee for the Fund to perform fair value determinations relating to the value of the Fund’s investments. The Board has approved the Adviser’s valuation policy (“Valuation Policy”). The Adviser utilizes the resources and personnel of the Sub-Adviser, the Sub- Subadviser and the Fund’s sub-administrator (as defined herein) in carrying out its responsibilities. The Board has ultimate oversight responsibility for valuing all investments held by the Fund.
Investments for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act and ASC Topic 820. The Adviser’s Valuation Policy governs the Adviser’s selection and application of methodologies for determining and calculating the fair value of the Fund’s investments. Fair value calculations will involve significant professional judgment by the Adviser in the application of both observable and unobservable inputs.
For securities or Private Credit Investments that are quoted, traded or exchanged in an accessible, active market, the value of the asset is determined by multiplying the number of securities held by the quoted market price as of the measurement (or reporting) date. The Adviser does not apply any liquidity or restriction discount regardless of ownership structure or the ability to control the sale of the asset.
If a quoted market price is not available or not deemed to be indicative of fair value, the Adviser may elect to obtain broker quotes directly from a broker-dealer or passed through from a third-party pricing vendor. In the event that fair value is based upon a single sourced broker quote, these Private Credit Investments are categorized as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. If the Fund were to use broker quotes, they would typically be received from established market participants. Although independently received, the Adviser does not have the transparency to view the underlying inputs which support the market quotation. Significant changes in the broker quote would have direct and proportional changes in the fair value of the security.
If the quotations obtained from brokers or pricing vendors are determined not to be reliable or are not readily available, the Fund may value such Private Credit Investments using a variety of valuation techniques. For Private Credit Investments, the Adviser generally uses a market interest rate yield analysis to determine fair value. To determine fair value using a yield analysis, the expected cash flows are projected based on the contractual terms of the debt security and discounted back to the measurement date based on a market yield. A market yield is determined based upon an assessment of current and expected market yields for similar Private Credit Investments and risk profiles. The Fund considers the current contractual interest rate, the expected life and other terms of the Private Credit Investment relative to risk of the company and the specific Private Credit Investment. For specialty credit investments, the Fund also considers payment ratios, conditional prepayment rates, charge-off rates, delinquency ratios and other measures of the specific specialty credit investment's performance.
In determining the estimated fair value of performing Private Credit Investment for which there is no actively traded market, the estimate of fair value will consider such factors as the current market environment relative to that of the Private Credit Investment held, the tenor of maturity date of the Private Credit Investment, the operating performance of the issuer, the concern for maintaining any covenant levels embedded in the instrument, the ability of the issuer to call the security (and the associated redemption price), market interest rate spreads and the general overall credit quality of the security over the life of the Private Credit Investment.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Each direct Private Credit Investment is assigned an internal credit rating. The ratings are based on available fundamental information and are used in conjunction with market inputs to create an estimate of fair value. For Private Credit Investments with higher ratings, no additional steps are taken. Private Credit Investments with lower internal credit ratings are considered for additional or alternative procedures to determine a fair value, which will include, but are not limited to, a review of additional market inputs, performance and other relevant information on comparable assets.
Defaulted Private Credit Investments are valued using several methods including the following: discounting the expected cash flows of the Private Credit Investment, valuing the net assets of the company, reviewing comparable precedent transactions involving similar companies, and using a performance multiple or market-based approach.
For defaulted Private Credit Investments, discounted cash flow valuation uses an internal analysis based on the Adviser’s expectation of future income and expenses, capital structure, exit multiples of a security, and other unobservable inputs which may include contractual and factual loan factors, estimated future payments and credit rating. Generally, an increase in market yields or discount rates or a decrease in EBITDA multiples may result in a decrease in the fair value of certain Private Credit Investments of the Fund. These Private Credit Investments are categorized as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
Ordinarily, the fair value of the Fund’s investment in a private investment fund (“Investment Fund”) is based on the net asset value of the Investment Fund reported by its investment manager (“Investment Manager”). If the Adviser determines that the most recent net asset value reported by the Investment Manager does not represent fair value or if the Investment Manager fails to report a net asset value to the Fund, a fair value determination is made by the Adviser in accordance with the Valuation Policy. In making that determination, the Adviser will consider whether it is appropriate, in light of all relevant circumstances, to value such Investment Fund at the net asset value last reported by its Investment Manager, or whether to adjust such net asset value to reflect a premium or discount (adjusted net asset value). The net asset values or adjusted net asset values are net of management fees and incentive fees (carried interest) payable pursuant to the respective organizational documents of each Investment Fund. See further discussion regarding Investment Funds in Note 3.
Collateralized Loan Obligations (“CLO”) are not traded on a national securities exchange and instead are valued utilizing a market approach. The market approach is a method of determining the valuation of a security based on the selling price of similar securities. The types of factors that may be taken into account in pricing CLOs include: the yield of similar CLOs where pricing is available in the market; the riskiness of the underlying pool of loans; and features of the CLO, including weighted average life test, liability pricing, management fees, covenant cushions, weighted average spread of underlying loans and net asset value.
The fair value of a Collateralized Loan Obligation Warehouse (“CLO Warehouse”), included in Direct Lending in the Consolidated Schedule of Investments, reflects the Fund’s pro rata interest in the residual economics of the structure. These investments are typically leveraged and are therefore sensitive to changes in the value and performance of the underlying assets. Valuation is influenced by factors including distributions, defaults, recoveries, prepayments, and the reinvestment environment. Interest is accrued daily based on an effective yield.
Revenue Recognition
Purchases of investment funds are recorded as of the first day of legal ownership and redemptions from investment funds are recorded as of the last day of legal ownership. All other investment transactions are recorded as of the trade date for financial reporting purposes. Realized gains and losses from investments sold are recorded on the identified cost basis. Dividend income, if any, is recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Distributions received from Investment Funds occur at irregular intervals and the exact timing of the distributions is not known. The classification and timing of distributions received in cash or in-kind, including return of capital, realized gains, interest income and dividend income, is based on information received from the Investment Manager of the Investment Fund.
Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. Interest income on debt instruments is accrued and recognized for those issuers who are currently paying in full or expected to pay in full. For those issuers who are in default or are expected to default, interest is not accrued and is only recognized when received or applied to principal depending upon the Adviser’s judgment. Loan origination fees, original issue discounts ("OID") and market discounts or premiums are capitalized as part of the underlying cost of the Private Credit Investments and accreted or amortized over the life of the Private Credit Investments as interest income using the effective interest method.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Direct Loans and Specialty Credit Loans are generally placed on non-accrual status when a payment default occurs or if management otherwise believes that the issuer of the loan will not be able to make contractual interest payments or principal payments. The Fund will cease recognizing interest income on that loan until all principal and interest is current through payment or until a restructuring occurs, such that the interest income is deemed to be collectible. However, the Fund remains contractually entitled to this interest. If the loan has sufficient collateral value and is in the process of collection, the Fund may place the loan back on accrual status. Accrued interest is written-off by reversing interest income in the period when it becomes probable that the interest will not be collected and the amount of uncollectible interest can be reasonably estimated. As of June 30, 2025, no loans have defaulted or were on non-accrual status.
The Fund may earn various fees during the life of the loans. Such fees include, but are not limited to, administration and amendment fees, some of which are paid to the Fund on an ongoing basis. These fees, if any, are recognized as earned as a component of interest income on the Consolidated Statement of Operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2025 the Fund recorded $189,803 of amendment fee income.
Upon prepayment of a loan or debt security, any prepayment premiums, unamortized upfront loan origination fees, unamortized syndication fees, unamortized commitment fees and unamortized discounts are recorded as interest income. The Fund had prepayments that resulted in $215,779 in interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2025.
The Fund may have Private Credit Investments that contain payment in-kind (“PIK”) provisions. PIK income, computed at the contractual rate specified in the Private Credit Investment agreement, is added to the principal balance of the Private Credit Investment and collected upon repayment of the outstanding principal, and is recorded as payment in-kind income on the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The Fund prospectively ceases recognition of PIK income and adjusts the associated principal balance if such amounts and balances are deemed to be doubtful of collection. For Private Credit Investments with PIK income, the Fund calculates income accruals based on the principal balance including any PIK.
When a PIK Private Credit Investment is placed on non-accrual status, the accrued, uncapitalized interest is reversed through interest income. To maintain the Fund’s status as a RIC, this non-cash source of income must be paid out to shareholders in the form of dividends, even though the Fund has not yet collected cash.
The fair value on CLO equities are accrued daily based on an estimated yield to maturity utilizing assumed cash flows in accordance with FASB ASC 325-40, Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Assets. Estimated yields for CLO positions are updated upon receipt of payments quarterly, as needed, or upon a transaction, such as an add-on purchase, refinancing or reset. When payments are received, any amount above or below the expected yield is treated as an adjustment to interest income or cost basis. The expected yield and investment cost may ultimately not be realized.
Fund Expenses
The Fund bears all expenses incurred in the course of its operations including, but not limited to, the following: all fees and expenses related to the Private Credit Investments and other investments in which the Fund invests, including the underlying fees of the Investment Funds and other investments (“Acquired Fund Fees”), management fees, incentive fees, fees and expenses associated with the credit facility, legal fees, administrator fees, audit and tax preparation fees, custodial fees, transfer agency fees, registration expenses, expenses of the Board and other administrative expenses. Certain of these operating expenses are subject to an expense limitation agreement (“Expense Limitation and Reimbursement Agreement” as further discussed in Note 5). Expenses are recorded on an accrual basis and, other than class-specific expenses, are allocated pro-rata to Shares based upon prior day net assets at each Determination Date. Class-specific expenses are allocated only to their respective share class (see Note 6). Closing costs associated with the purchase of Investment Funds are included in the cost of the investment.
Debt Issuance Costs
Debt issuance costs consist of fees and expenses paid in connection with the closing of and amendments to the Fund’s credit facilities. The aforementioned costs are amortized over each instrument’s term. Unamortized debt issuance costs are presented net against the outstanding revolving credit facilities balance on the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

Federal Income Taxes
For U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Fund has elected to be treated, and intends to qualify annually, as a Regulated Investment Company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, by distributing substantially all of its taxable net investment income and net realized capital gains to Shareholders each year and by meeting certain diversification and income requirements with respect to investments. If the Fund were to fail to meet the requirements to qualify as a RIC, and if the Fund were ineligible to or otherwise unable to cure such failure, the Fund would be subject to tax on its taxable income at corporate rates, whether or not distributed to Shareholders, and all distributions of earnings and profits would be taxable to Shareholders as ordinary income.
Additionally, the Fund is subject to a 4% federal excise tax on any undistributed income, including net capital gains, if it does not distribute at least 98% of its taxable income and 98.2% of its capital gains each year. The Fund endeavors to meet these distribution requirements to avoid such excise tax, and any excise tax liability, if incurred, will be reflected in the consolidated financial statements.
The Fund’s tax year is the 12-month period ending December 31. The Fund files tax returns as prescribed by the tax laws of the jurisdictions in which it operates. In the normal course of business, the Fund is subject to examination by federal, state, local and foreign jurisdictions, where applicable. As of June 30, 2025, tax years from the year 2024 forward are subject to examination by the major tax jurisdictions under the statute of limitations.
Distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from net investment income and net realized capital gains for financial statement purposes under U.S. GAAP. Differences may be permanent or temporary. Permanent differences, including book/tax differences relating to Shareholder distributions, are reclassified among capital accounts in the consolidated financial statements to reflect the applicable tax characterization. Temporary differences arise when certain items of income, expense, gain or loss are recognized in different periods for financial statement and tax purposes; these differences will reverse in the future. The tax basis components of distributable earnings differ from the amounts reflected in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities and Consolidated Statement of Operations due to temporary book/tax differences. These amounts will be finalized before filing the Fund’s federal tax return.
Organizational and Offering Costs
During the period from Inception through the Commencement of Operations, the Fund incurred organizational costs of $0.1 million. The organizational costs paid by the Adviser will be reimbursed by the Fund in accordance with the Expense Limitation and Reimbursement Agreement. Organizational costs consist primarily of costs to establish the Fund and enable it to legally conduct business. The Fund expenses organizational costs as incurred.
During the period from Inception through the Commencement of Operations, the Fund incurred offering costs of $0.5 million. Offering costs are treated as deferred charges and, upon Commencement of Operations, amortized over a 12-month period using the straight-line method. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Fund amortized offering costs of $0.2 million which are included in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. Offering costs paid by the Adviser will be reimbursed by the Fund in accordance with the Expense Limitation and Reimbursement Agreement. Offering costs consist primarily of legal fees, filing fees and printing costs in connection with the preparation of the registration statement and related filings. The Fund will continue to incur offering costs due to its continuously offered status. Ongoing offering costs will be expensed as incurred.
Cash, Restricted Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash Equivalents
Cash includes monies on deposit with UMB Bank, N.A. (”UMB Bank”), the Fund’s custodian, and Cash Equivalents includes short-term, interest-bearing, highly liquid money market investments. Deposits, at times, may exceed the insurance limit guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The Fund has not experienced any losses on deposits and does not believe it is exposed to significant credit risk on such deposits.
Restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents include amounts that are collected and held in connection with assets securing certain of the Fund's financing transactions. Restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents are restricted for payment of interest expense and principal on the outstanding borrowings or for reinvestment into new assets.
Shareholder Distributions
Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the record date. The amount to be paid out as a dividend is determined by the Board each quarter and is generally based upon estimated earnings and considers the level of undistributed taxable income carried forward from the prior year, if any, for distribution in the current year.

New Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (ASC 740) Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”). The primary purpose of the amendments within ASU 2023-09 is to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures primarily related to the rate reconciliation table and income taxes paid information. The amendments in ASU 2023-09 require that public business entities on an annual basis (1) disclose specific categories in the rate reconciliation and (2) provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. In addition, the amendments in this ASU 2023-09 require that all entities disclose on an annual basis taxes paid disaggregated by federal, state, foreign, and individual jurisdiction (when income taxes paid is equal to or greater than five percent of total income taxes paid). The amendments in ASU 2023-09 are effective for public business entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted for annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. The amendments in ASU 2023-09 should be applied on a prospective basis. Retrospective application is permitted. The Fund does not expect this guidance to materially impact its Consolidated Financial Statements.
3. Investments
Direct Lending
The Fund's direct lending investment strategy primarily consists of secured debt (including first lien senior secured and second lien senior secured), but may also include unsecured debt (including senior unsecured and subordinated debt) and mezzanine loans, as well as broadly syndicated loans and club deals (generally investments made by a small group of investment firms). First lien senior secured debt has first claim to any underlying collateral of a loan, second lien senior secured debt is secured but subordinated in payment and/or lower in lien priority to first lien holders. Through this strategy, the Fund may also invest in investment funds, and privately offered structured products such as CLOs.
Specialty Credit
The Fund's specialty credit investment strategy primarily consists of privately originated lending (including corporate, real estate, infrastructure-related debt, trade and supply chain finance, marketplace lending (consumers, lending to lenders, etc.), insurance-linked strategies and instruments, royalties, aviation financing, shipping, regulatory capital financing and net asset value lending); and privately originated non-performing loans (including, for example, US residential mortgage loans and business loans in the EU). Through this strategy, the Fund may also invest in investment funds, and privately offered structured products such as CLOs.
Collateralized Loan Obligations
As part of the Fund's direct lending and specialty credit investment strategies, the Fund may invest in CLOs, which are structured by pooling certain private loans, other lender assets, and their associated collateral. A sponsoring organization establishes a special purpose vehicle to hold the assets/collateral and issue securities; interests in these pools are sold as individual securities. Payments of principal and interest are passed through to investors and are typically supported by credit enhancements, such as a letter of credit, surety bond, limited guaranty or senior/subordination structures. These payments are divided into multiple tranches of debt securities, offering distinct maturity and credit risk profiles. Some tranches receive regular principal and interest installments, while others receive only interest, with principal due at maturity or upon specified call dates. Each tranche may or may not have a defined interest rate. In instances where a tranche has an interest rate, the rate may be fixed or floating.
Collateralized Loan Obligation Warehouse
A CLO Warehouse is an entity organized for the purpose of holding syndicated bank loans, also known as leveraged loans, prior to the issuance of securities from that same vehicle. During the warehouse period, a CLO Warehouse will secure investments and build a portfolio of primarily leveraged loans and other debt obligations. The warehouse period terminates when the collateralized loan obligation vehicle issues various tranches of securities to the market. At this time, financing through the issuance of debt and equity securities is used to repay bank financing.
Investment Funds
Through the Fund's direct lending and specialty credit investment strategies, the Fund may invest in Investment Funds which are limited partnerships or limited liability companies that invest primarily in loans to private companies and are reported in the Consolidated Schedule of Investments.

4. Fair Value Measurements
U.S. GAAP, ASC 820, defines fair value as the value that the Fund would receive to sell an investment or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction with an independent buyer in the principal market, or in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market for the asset or liability. ASC 820 establishes a three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability. Inputs may be observable or unobservable and refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Fund. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. Each investment is assigned a level based upon the observation of the inputs which are significant to the overall valuation. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized below:
Level 1: Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical investments as of the reporting date. The types of investments which would generally be included in Level 1 include listed equities, registered money market funds and short-term investment vehicles.
Level 2: Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date, and fair value is determined through the use of models or other valuation methodologies. The types of investments which would generally be included in Level 2 include corporate bonds and loans and less liquid and restricted equity securities.
Level 3: Pricing inputs are unobservable for the investment and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the investment. The inputs into the determination of fair value require significant management judgment and/or estimation. Those unobservable inputs, that are not corroborated by market data, generally reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in determining the fair value of the investment. The types of investments which would generally be included in Level 3 are equity and/or debt securities issued by private entities.
In accordance with ASC 820, certain portfolio investments are excluded from the fair value hierarchy as they are valued using NAV as a practical expedient. These investments are fair valued using NAV or by adjusting the most recently available NAV for cash flows. As such, investments in Investment Funds with a fair value of $84.1 million are excluded from the fair value hierarchy as of June 30, 2025.
Changes in inputs or methodologies used for valuing investments may result in transfers in or out of levels within the fair value hierarchy. The inputs or methodologies used for valuing investments may not necessarily be indicative of the risk associated with investing in those investments. Transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy are reported at the beginning of the reporting period in which they occur. The following is a summary of the Fund's investments classified by fair value hierarchy as of June 30, 2025:

5. Related Party Transactions
Advisory Agreement
In consideration of its services to the Fund, the Adviser is entitled to a management fee (“Management Fee”) equal to 1.15% on an annualized basis of the Fund’s daily net assets. The Management Fee is accrued daily and payable monthly in arrears. The Adviser pays the Sub-Adviser 50% of the Management Fee on a monthly basis. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Adviser earned $4.7 million in Management Fees of which $0.9 million was payable as of June 30, 2025.

5. Related Party Transactions (continued)
In addition, the Fund pays the Adviser an income-based incentive fee (“Incentive Fee”). The Incentive Fee is accrued daily and payable quarterly in arrears based on the Fund’s pre-incentive fee net investment income (“Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income”) for the most recently completed calendar quarter. The payment of the Incentive Fee is subject to a quarterly hurdle rate, expressed as a rate of return on the value of the Fund’s net assets at the end of the most recently completed calendar quarter, of 1.25% (5.00% annualized) (“Hurdle Rate”), subject to a “catch up” feature.
For this purpose, Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income means interest income, dividend income and any other income (including any other fees, such as commitment, origination, structuring, diligence and consulting fees or other fees that the Fund (or its wholly-owned subsidiaries) receives from portfolio companies) accrued during the calendar quarter, minus the Fund’s operating expenses for the quarter (including the Management Fee, expenses and fees paid to the Adviser under the Administration Agreement and any interest expense and dividends paid on any issued and outstanding preferred stock or credit agreements, but excluding the Incentive Fee and any shareholder servicing and/or distribution fees), net of any expense waivers or expense payments by the Adviser. Pre- Incentive Fee Net Investment Income includes, in the case of investments with a deferred interest feature (such as OID debt instruments with PIK interest and zero-coupon securities), accrued income that the Fund has not yet received in cash. Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income does not include any realized capital gains, realized capital losses or unrealized appreciation or depreciation.
The calculation of the Incentive Fee for each quarter is as follows:
| • | No Incentive Fee will be payable to the Adviser in any calendar quarter in which the Fund’s Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income does not exceed the Hurdle Rate; |
| • | 100% of the dollar amount of the Fund’s Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income, if any, that exceeds the Hurdle Rate but is less than or equal to 1.3889% in any calendar quarter (5.5556% annualized) will be payable to the Adviser. This portion of the Fund’s Incentive Fee that exceeds the Hurdle Rate but is less than or equal to 1.3889% is referred to as the “catch up” and is intended to provide the Adviser with an Incentive Fee of 10% on all of the Fund’s Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income when the Fund’s Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income reaches 1.3889% (5.5556% annualized) on net assets in any calendar quarter; and |
| • | 10% of the dollar amount of the Fund’s Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income, if any, that exceeds 1.3889% (5.5556% annualized) on net assets in any calendar quarter will be payable to the Adviser once the Hurdle Rate and catch-up have been achieved (10% of the Fund’s Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income thereafter will be allocated to the Adviser). |
The Adviser pays the Sub-Adviser 60% of the Incentive Fee on a quarterly basis. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Adviser earned $3.8 million in Incentive Fees of which $2.7 million was payable as of June 30, 2025.
Expense Limitation and Reimbursement Agreement
The Adviser entered into an Expense Limitation and Reimbursement Agreement with the Fund for a one-year term beginning with the Commencement of Operations and ending on the one-year anniversary thereof on June 2, 2025 (“Limitation Period”). On February 20, 2025, the Limitation Period was extended for a period of one year ending on April 30, 2026. The Adviser may extend the Limitation Period for a period of one year on an annual basis. The Expense Limitation and Reimbursement Agreement limits the amount of the Fund’s aggregate ordinary operating expenses, excluding certain specified expenses (“Specified Expenses”), borne by the Fund during the Limitation Period to an amount not to exceed 1.00% for Class I, D, S and T Shares, on an annualized basis, of the Fund’s prior day net assets (“Expense Cap”). Specified Expenses that are not covered by the Expense Limitation and Reimbursement Agreement include: (i) the Management Fee; (ii) Acquired Fund Fees; (iii) the Incentive Fee; (iv) transactional costs, including legal costs and brokerage commissions, and sourcing and servicing or related fees incurred by the Fund in connection with the servicing by non-affiliated third parties of, and other related administrative services associated with the acquisition and disposition of the Fund’s investments; (v) interest payments incurred on borrowing by the Fund or its subsidiaries; (vi) fees and expenses incurred in connection with a credit facility obtained by the Fund or any of its subsidiaries, including any expense for acquiring ratings related to the credit facilities; (vii) distribution and shareholder servicing fees, as applicable; (viii) taxes; and (ix) extraordinary expenses resulting from events and transactions that are distinguished by their unusual nature and by the infrequency of their occurrence including, without limitation, costs incurred in connection with any claim, litigation, arbitration, mediation, government investigation or similar proceeding, indemnification expenses, and expenses in connection with holding and/or soliciting proxies for all annual and other meetings of shareholders.

5. Related Party Transactions (continued)
If the Fund’s aggregate ordinary operating expenses, exclusive of the Specified Expenses, in respect of any Class of Shares for any day exceeds the Expense Cap, the Adviser will waive its Management Fee, waive its Incentive Fee, directly pay and/or reimburse the Fund for expenses to the extent necessary to eliminate such excess. To the extent that the Adviser waives its Management Fee or Incentive Fee, reimburses expenses to the Fund or pays expenses directly on behalf of the Fund, it is permitted to recoup from the Fund any such amounts for a period not to exceed three years from the month in which such fees and expenses were waived, reimbursed, or paid, even if such recoupment occurs after the termination of the Limitation Period. However, the Adviser may only recoup the waived fees, reimbursed expenses or directly paid expenses in respect of the applicable Class of Shares if (i) the aggregate ordinary operating expenses plus waived fees, reimbursed expenses or directly paid expenses have fallen to a level below the Expense Cap and (ii) the recouped amount does not raise the level of aggregate ordinary operating expenses, plus waived fees, reimbursed expenses or directly paid expenses in respect of a Class of Shares in the month of recoupment to a level that exceeds any Expense Cap applicable at that time.
During the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Adviser recouped $1.0 million under the Expense Limitation and Reimbursement agreement, as recorded on the Statement of Operations. The Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities includes a Due to Adviser of $0.7 million as of June 30, 2025 for the expenses paid by the Adviser on behalf of the Fund.
Administration Agreement

The Distributor is authorized to enter into Sub-Distribution Agreements with brokers, dealers and certain Registered Investment Advisers ("RIA") and other financial intermediaries to effect the distribution of Shares of the Fund. To operate in a manner consistent with Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, the Fund pays a distribution and shareholder servicing fee out of the net assets of Class S and Class T Shares at the annual rate of 0.85% of the aggregate NAV of Class S Shares and Class T Shares. On January 17, 2025, the Fund converted Class T shares into Class S shares and ceased offering Class T Shares.

Distribution and shareholder servicing fees are determined and accrued daily based on the net assets of the Share Class as of the close of business on each business day (including net assets in respect of Shares that will be repurchased by the Fund on such date).

8. Revolving Credit Facilities
On June 3, 2024, the Fund, through CRDEX LLC as borrower, entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (“JPM Loan and Security Agreement”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association (“JPM”), as the administrative agent, UMB Bank, National Association, as the collateral agent, and the lenders party thereto from time to time, to provide CRDEX LLC with a revolving credit facility (“JPM Credit Facility”). Borrowings under the JPM Credit Facility are secured by all of the assets held by CRDEX LLC. The JPM Credit Facility carries a commitment of $250 million with an accordion provision, with increases up to $350 million, subject to satisfaction of certain conditions. As of June 30, 2025, the carrying value of the outstanding borrowings approximates fair value due to the variable interest rate and would be categorized in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
Borrowings under the JPM Credit Facility generally bear interest at a rate per annum equal to 3-Month Term SOFR plus a margin of 2.26%, with no floor on a 3-Month Term SOFR (“Applicable Margin”). The JPM Credit Facility has a commitment fee (“Commitment Fee”) of 0.75% per annum on the average daily unused balance. In addition, the Fund is required to pay an undrawn fee, calculated as the Applicable Margin minus the Commitment Fee, multiplied by the shortfall between the Minimum Funding amount and the actual outstanding borrowings, if the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding borrowings is less than the required minimum funding amount (“Minimum Funding”). The Minimum Funding requirement, as a percentage of JPM Credit Facility commitments, increases over time, beginning with no Minimum Funding required during the period June 3, 2024 through August 31, 2024, a 20% Minimum Funding for the period September 1, 2024 through November 30, 2024, a 45% Minimum Funding for the period December 1, 2024 through February 2, 2025, an 18% Minimum Funding for the period February 3, 2025 through February 28, 2025, a 23% Minimum Funding for the period March 1, 2025 through April 30, 2025, a 35% Minimum Funding for the period May 1, 2025 through May 31, 2025, a 42% Minimum Funding for the period June 1, 2025 through July 31, 2025, a 57% Minimum Funding for the period August 1, 2025 through October 31, 2025, a 64.5% Minimum Funding for the period November 1, 2025 through January 31, 2026, and a 75% Minimum Funding for the period February 1, 2026 through June 3, 2027, with a final scheduled termination date of June 3, 2029 (as amended). Prior to February 3, 2025 the initial commitment was $100 million and the margin was 2.575%.
As of June 30, 2025, the Fund had outstanding borrowings of $168.0 million under the JPM Credit Facility. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Fund’s borrowings under the JPM Credit Facility bore interest at a weighted average interest rate of 6.58%. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, the daily average amount of outstanding borrowings under the JPM Credit Facility was $95.5 million. In conjunction with the JPM Credit Facility, the Fund paid a closing fee of 1.0% which is being amortized in the Consolidated Statement of Operations over the term of the JPM Credit Facility. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, expenses charged to the Fund related to the JPM Credit Facility were $3.9 million.
As a result of a transaction that was completed on January 2, 2025 as described in Note 15, the Fund acquired substantially all of the assets of CRDEX Equity Partners LLC (formerly, CPCF as defined in Note 15) in exchange for Class I Shares of the Fund, and the Fund became the sole member of SSG Holdings SPV, a wholly-owned and consolidated subsidiary organized as a Delaware limited liability company. SSG Holdings SPV is party to a loan and security agreement dated November 6, 2023, that was amended January 2, 2025, with the Bank of Montreal as administrative agent and collateral agent (the “SSG Holdings SPV Credit Facility”). The SSG Holdings SPV Credit Facility, will generally bear interest at a rate per annum equal to 3-Month Term SOFR plus a margin of 2.60%. The SSG Holdings SPV Credit Facility is secured by a first priority security interest in substantially all of the assets of SSG Holdings SPV and a pledge over 100% of the Funds equity interest in SSG Holdings SPV. The SSG Holdings SPV Credit Facility matures on June 21, 2031, unless sooner terminated in accordance with its terms.
On June 23, 2025, the Fund amended the SSG Holdings SPV Credit Facility to decrease the commitment from $445.9 million to $162.5 million and reduce the Applicable Margin to 2.30%.

9. Commitments and Contingencies
ASC 460-10, Guarantees - Overall, requires entities to provide disclosure and, in certain circumstances, recognition of guarantees and indemnifications. In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification arrangements. The Fund’s exposure under these arrangements, if any, cannot be quantified. However, the Fund has not had claims or losses pursuant to these indemnification arrangements and expects the potential for a material loss to be remote.
The Fund may, from time to time, be party to various legal matters arising in the ordinary course of business, including claims and litigation proceedings. Although the ultimate outcome of the foregoing matters, if any, cannot be ascertained at this time, the Adviser believes, after consultation with counsel, that the resolution of such matters would not have a material adverse effect on the Fund’s consolidated financial statements.
Contingencies associated with the Expense Limitation and Reimbursement Agreement are discussed in Note 5.

10. Capital Share Transactions
The Fund offers three separate classes of shares of beneficial interest designated as Class I Shares, Class D Shares and Class S Shares. Each class of Shares is subject to different fees and expenses. On January 17, 2025, the Fund converted Class T shares into Class S shares and ceased offering Class T Shares.
The minimum initial investment in Class I Shares by an investor in the Fund is $1.0 million. The minimum initial investment for Class I may be reduced at the Adviser’s discretion. The minimum initial investment in Class D Shares and Class S Shares by an investor is $25,000. Investors purchasing Class S Shares may be charged a sales load up to a maximum of 3.50%. Investors purchasing Class I Shares and Class D Shares are not charged a sales load. The Fund accepts initial and additional purchases of Shares daily at the Fund’s then-current NAV per share.
Shareholders may exchange shares from one class to another for an equivalent NAV amount of that share class.

| * | The Fund commenced operations on June 3, 2024. |
The Fund conducts quarterly offers to repurchase a minimum of 5.00% and up to a maximum of 25.00% of the outstanding Shares at NAV, unless such offer is suspended or postponed in accordance with regulatory requirements (as discussed in Note 1). No Shareholder will have the right to require the Fund to repurchase such Shareholder’s Shares or any portion thereof. In the event that Shareholders, in the aggregate, submit for repurchase more than the number of Shares that the Fund will offer to repurchase, the Fund will repurchase the Shares on a pro rata basis, which may result in the Fund not honoring the full amount of a Share repurchase requested by a Shareholder. In connection with any given quarterly repurchase offer, the Fund currently intends to repurchase 5.00% of its outstanding Shares.
Rule 23c-3(b)(5) of the 1940 Act permits the Fund to repurchase up to an additional 2.00% of its outstanding shares beyond the stated repurchase offer amount in the event that shareholder repurchase requests exceed the offer. During the periods presented, repurchase requests did not exceed the applicable offer amounts, and therefore the Fund was not required to utilize this additional 2.00% capacity. As a result, all repurchase requests were fulfilled in full, and no pro rata reductions were necessary.

11. Dividend Reinvestment Plan
Pursuant to the dividend reinvestment plan ("DRIP") established by the Fund, each Shareholder whose Shares are registered in its own name will automatically be a participant under the DRIP and all income and/or capital gain dividend distributions will automatically be reinvested in additional Shares unless such Shareholder specifically elects to receive all income and/or capital gain dividends in cash. A Shareholder is free to change this election at any time. If, however, a Shareholder requests to change its election within 30 days prior to a distribution, the request will be effective only with respect to distributions after the 30-day period.
12. Investment Transactions
For the six months ended June 30, 2025, purchases of investments were $468.5 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, total proceeds received from repayments of investments were $263.4 million.
13. Tax Information
The Fund’s tax year ends on December 31. Accordingly, the tax-related disclosures herein are based on information as of December 31, 2024, the most recent tax year-end. There were no material tax-related changes during the period from January 1, 2025 through June 30, 2025.
As of December 31, 2024, the Fund had temporary differences primarily due to timing of the amortization of organizational costs and undistributed tax basis.
U.S. GAAP requires that certain components of net assets be reclassified between financial and tax reporting. As of December 31, 2024, the Fund had permanent book to tax differences of $14,310 resulting primarily from nondeductible offering costs. This permanent book to tax difference has been reclassified to paid-in capital and had no effect on the net assets or net asset value per share of the Fund.
For the tax year ended December 31, 2024, the Fund's tax components of distributable earnings (accumulated loss) on a tax basis were as follows:
| Undistributed ordinary income | $ | 200,868 | ||
| Accumulated capital and other losses | (10,225 | ) | ||
| Undistributed long-term capital gains | — | |||
| Net tax appreciation (depreciation) | 87,105 | |||
| Other temporary difference | (467,425 | ) | ||

The tax character of Subchapter M distributions for the tax year ended December 31, 2024 was as follows:
| Ordinary Income | Long-Term Capital Gains | |||||||
| 2024 | $ | 5,702,120 | $ | — | ||||
For the tax year ended December 31, 2024, the Fund's deferred, on a tax basis, qualified late year losses were as follows:
| Ordinary Income | $ | — | ||
| Net Capital | 10,225 |
For the tax year ended December 31, 2024, the federal tax cost of investments and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) were as follows:
| Gross unrealized appreciation | $ | 87,105 | ||
| Gross unrealized depreciation | — | |||
| Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments | 87,105 | |||
| Tax cost of investments | $ | 211,603,600 |
The difference between cost amounts for financial statement and federal income tax purposes is due primarily to timing differences in recognizing certain gains and losses on partnership investments.
CRDEX LLC did not record a provision for income tax expense for the tax year ended December 31, 2024 as the subsidiary did not recognize net investment income or realized and unrealized gains (losses) on investments during the period.
In accounting for income taxes, the Fund follows the guidance in ASC 740, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). ASC 740 prescribes the minimum recognition threshold a tax position must meet in connection with accounting for uncertainties in income tax positions taken or expected to be taken by an entity before being measured and recognized in the consolidated financial statements. Management has concluded there were no uncertain tax positions as of the tax year ended December 31, 2024 for federal income tax purposes or in the Fund’s state and local tax jurisdictions. The Fund will recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as tax expense in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. For the tax year ended December 31, 2024, the Fund did not incur any interest or penalties. The Fund did not have any unrecognized tax benefits as of the tax year ended December 31, 2024.
14. Risk Factors
An investment in the Fund involves material risks, including performance risk, liquidity risk, business and financial risk, risks associated with the use of leverage, valuation risk, tax risk and other risks that should be carefully considered prior to investing and investing should only be considered by persons financially able to maintain their investment and who can afford a loss of a substantial part or all of such investment.
15. Portfolio Acquisition
On January 2, 2025, the Fund had the initial closing on an agreement with Cresset Partners Private Credit Fund, LLC ("CPCF") to acquire substantially all of CPCF’s net assets (“Portfolio Acquisition”). The Portfolio Acquisition was effected pursuant to the Unit and Asset Purchase Agreement, dated as of November 23, 2024 (the “Purchase Agreement”), by and among the Fund, CPCF, and additional parties. The Purchase Agreement sets forth the terms and conditions of the transaction, including the mechanism by which substantially all of the net assets of CPCF were acquired by the Fund in exchange for Class I Shares of the Fund, and outlines the in-kind transfer of assets and assumption of certain liabilities. The Portfolio Acquisition is treated as a taxable event for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The agreement also describes the closing deliverables, purchase price allocation, post-closing adjustments, and other material terms governing the acquisition and related restructuring activities. Upon closing the Portfolio Acquisition, CPCF was renamed CRDEX Equity Partners LLC ("Feeder Fund").

15. Portfolio Acquisition (continued)
The assets acquired in the transaction consisted of cash, a portfolio of investments in corporate loans, collateralized loan obligations and interests in investment vehicles that invest in debt securities. The liabilities assumed consist of the SSG Holdings SPV Credit Facility.
The transaction had an initial closing on January 2, 2025, at which point ownership of substantially all of the Feeder Fund's assets was transferred to the Fund. This initial transfer was subject to certain holdbacks and valuation adjustments, which were finalized on April 23, 2025.
Changes in ownership of the portfolio of investments were effectuated by each investment's respective form of assignment, such that all acquired investments are held in the name of the Fund. In addition, the Fund became the sole member of SSG Holdings SPV and, as a result, consolidates all SSG Holdings SPV’s assets and liabilities, including a portfolio of direct lending assets, CLO assets and the SSG Holdings SPV Credit Facility.
On January 2, 2025, March 31, 2025, and April 23, 2025, the Fund issued 56,931,963, 4,813,788, and 71,054 Shares, respectively, of additional Class I Shares to the Feeder Fund in connection with the Fund's acquisition of it’s net assets. On April 23, 2025, subsequent to the final closing of the Portfolio Acquisition, the Fund had gross assets of $1.0 billion, net assets of $860.6 million and 85,171,225 Shares outstanding.
The Portfolio Acquisition was accounted for as an asset acquisition under ASC 805-50, Business Combinations-Related Issues (“ASC 805”). Under asset acquisition accounting, the Fund allocated the total consideration paid—including the fair value of Class I Shares issued and transaction costs—to the individual assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their relative fair values as of the acquisition date. In accordance with ASC 805-50-30-1, the acquired assets were recognized based on their cost to the Fund, which included transaction costs, and no goodwill was recorded. The fair value of the net assets acquired equaled the consideration paid, and no gain or loss was recognized. Cash received from the Portfolio Acquisition is presented net of transaction costs, other assets, and other liabilities in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.
With substantially all CRDEX Equity Partners LLC assets invested in Shares of the Fund, it became a Feeder Fund following the Portfolio Acquisition. As of April 23, 2025, the Feeder Fund held 72.54% of the outstanding Shares of the Fund. The Shares held by the Feeder Fund are subject to contractual lock-ups that expire in various tranches beginning in March 31, 2026. As the lock-ups expire, the Shares held by the Feeder Fund are distributed to the investors in the Feeder Fund who become direct investors in the Fund.
On January 2, 2025, as a result of the Portfolio Acquisition, the Fund became the sole member of SSG Holdings SPV, a wholly-owned and consolidated subsidiary as described in Note 2. SSG Holdings SPV is party to a loan and security agreement dated as described in Note 8.
As of January 2, 2025, SSG Holdings SPV had $112.8 million outstanding on the $445.9 million commitment under the SSG Holdings SPV Credit Facility. The total commitment amount was later amended as described in Note 8.

16. Subsequent Events
On August 11, 2025, the Fund commenced a repurchase offer with a valuation date of September 15, 2025.
The Fund has adopted financial reporting rules regarding subsequent events which require an entity to recognize in the financial statements the effects of all subsequent events that provide additional evidence about conditions that existed at the date of the balance sheet or may be of such a nature that disclosure will keep the financial statements from being misleading. The Adviser has evaluated the Fund’s related events and transactions that occurred through the date of issuance of the Fund’s financial statements. There were no other events or transactions that occurred during this period that materially impacted the amounts or disclosures in the Fund’s consolidated financial statements or the accompanying notes.
