On September 30, 2024, the Bow River Capital Evergreen Fund had an outstanding forward foreign currency contract with terms as set forth below:

​1        Each share class is subject to an early repurchase fee of 2.00% on any shares sold within 365 days of purchase.

​1        Net of allocated repurchase fees of $23,067 and $22,170, respectively.

​2        Net of allocated repurchase fees of $1,432 and $1,533, respectively.

Due to the inherent uncertainty in determining the fair value of investments for which market values are not readily available the fair values of these investments may fluctuate from period to period. In addition, such fair value may differ materially from the values that may have been used had a ready market existed for such investments and may significantly differ from the value ultimately realized by the Fund.

Assets and liabilities initially expressed in foreign currencies will be converted into U.S. Dollars using foreign exchange rates provided by a recognized pricing service.

Primary and Secondary Fund Investments

Primary investments are commitments to new private equity, private credit, or other private funds. Secondary investments are purchases of existing interests that are acquired on the secondary market. Primary or secondary investments in private funds are generally valued based on the latest NAV reported by the third-party fund manager or General Partner. This is commonly referred to as using NAV as a practical expedient which allows for estimation of the fair value of an investment in a private fund based on NAV or its equivalent if the NAV of the private fund is calculated in a manner consistent with ASC 946. Because of the inherent uncertainty of valuations of the investments in private funds, their estimated values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for the private funds existed, and the differences could be material. New purchases of primary or secondary investments in private funds will be valued at acquisition cost initially until a NAV is provided by the third-party fund manager or General Partner. The Fund will review any cash flows since the reference date of the last NAV for a private fund received by the Fund from a third-party manager (“Portfolio Fund Manager”) until the Determination Date are recognized by (i) adding the nominal amount of the investment related capital calls and (ii) deducting the nominal amount of investment related distributions from the NAV as reported by the Portfolio Fund Manager.

In addition to tracking the NAV plus related cash flows of such secondary purchases of interests in closed-end private funds (“Portfolio Funds”), the Valuation Designee may also track relevant broad-based and issuer (or fund) specific valuation information relating to the assets held by each private fund which is reasonably available at the time the Fund values its investments. Portfolio Funds’ Managers only provide determinations of the net asset values of the Portfolio Funds on a monthly or quarterly basis, in which event it will not be possible to determine the net asset value of the Fund more frequently. The Valuation Designee will consider such information and may conclude in certain circumstances that the information provided by the Portfolio Fund Manager does not represent the fair value of a particular asset held by a Portfolio Fund. If the Valuation Designee concludes in good faith that the latest NAV reported by a Portfolio Fund Manager does not represent fair value (e.g., there is more current information regarding a portfolio asset which significantly changes its fair value) the Valuation Designee will make a corresponding adjustment to reflect the current fair value of such asset within such Portfolio Fund. In determining the fair value of assets held by Portfolio Funds, the Valuation Designee applies valuation methodologies as outlined above.

Direct Investments

Direct investments are minority investments in a company made by investors alongside a private equity fund manager or venture capital firm. Direct investments in private equity funds may be valued based on the latest NAV reported by the third-party fund manager or General Partner. In assessing the fair value of the Fund’s direct investments in accordance with the Valuation Procedures, the Adviser uses a variety of methods such as earnings and multiple analysis, discounted cash flow and market data from third party pricing services and makes assumptions that are based on market conditions existing at the end of each reporting period. Because of the inherent uncertainty of estimates, fair value determinations based on estimates may differ from the values that would have been used had a ready market for the securities existed, and the differences could be material.

Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts — The Fund may enter into foreign currency exchange contracts. The Fund may enter into these contracts for the purchase or sale of a specific foreign currency at a fixed price on a future date to hedge various investments, for risk management (i.e. hedging purposes). All foreign currency exchange contracts are market-to-market at the applicable translation rates resulting in unrealized gains or losses. Realized gains or losses are recorded at the time the foreign currency exchange contract is offset by entering into a closing transaction, or by the delivery, or receipt, of the currency. Risk may arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from unanticipated movements in the value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar.

Federal Income Taxes — The Fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The Fund utilizes a tax-year end of September 30 and the Fund’s income and federal excise tax returns and all financial records supporting the prior year returns are subject to examination by the federal and Delaware revenue authorities. If so qualified, the Fund will not be subject to federal income tax to the extent it distributes substantially all of its net investment income and capital gains to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. Management of the Fund is required to determine whether a tax position taken by the Fund is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by the applicable taxing authority, based on the technical merits of the position. Based on its analysis, there were no tax positions identified by management of the Fund which did not meet the “more likely than not” standard as of September 30, 2024. The Fund’s policy is to classify any interest or penalties associated with underpayment of federal and state income taxes as an income tax expense on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Spartan I, LLC is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Fund, and is a domestic limited liability company that has elected to be treated as a C Corporation for federal and state income tax purposes and is therefore obligated to pay federal and state income tax on its taxable income. Currently, the federal income tax rate for a corporation is 21%. State tax returns are filed in various states in which an economic presence exists. Current state taxes consist of income taxes, franchise taxes, business taxes, excise taxes or gross receipts taxes, depending on the state in which the returns are filed. Income taxes are charged based on apportioned income for each state.

Spartan I, LLC recognizes deferred income taxes for differences in the basis of assets and liabilities for financial and income tax purposes. Deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences, tax credit carryforwards or net operating loss carryforwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and the rates on the date of enactment.

Reverb, Ltd., Thunder I, LLC, and BRC UMB, LLC are disregarded entities for income tax purposes.

Shareholder Subscriptions — Shareholder subscriptions received in advance are comprised of cash received on or prior to September 30, 2024 for which shares are issued on October 1, 2024. Shareholder subscriptions received in advance do not participate in the earnings of the Fund until shares are issued.

3. Fair Value Disclosures

GAAP defines fair value, establishes a three-tier framework for measuring fair value based on a hierarchy of inputs, and expands disclosure about fair value measurements. It also provides guidance on determining when there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for an asset or liability, when a transaction is not orderly and how that information must be incorporated into a fair value measurement. The hierarchy distinguishes between market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) and the Fund’s own market assumptions (unobservable inputs). These inputs are used in determining the fair value of the Fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

•        Level 1 — unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. An active market for the security is a market in which transactions occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. A quoted price in an active market provides the most reliable evidence of fair value.

•        Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc. and quoted prices for identical or similar assets in markets that are not active.) Inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data. An adjustment to any observable input that is significant to the fair value may render the measurement a Level 3 measurement.

•        Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs, including inputs that are not derived from market data or cannot be corroborated by market data and when the investment is not redeemable in the near term.

Private investments that are reported on the Fund’s schedule of investments as being measured at fair value using the Fund’s pro rata NAV (or its equivalent) without further adjustment, as a practical expedient of fair value and therefore these investments are excluded from the fair value hierarchy. Generally, the fair value of the Fund’s investment in a private investment represents the amount that the Fund could reasonably expect to receive from the investment fund if the Fund’s investment is withdrawn at the measurement date based on NAV.

The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls in its entirety is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. The following is a summary of the valuation inputs used to value the Fund’s assets and liabilities as of September 30, 2024:

*        Certain investments that are measured at fair value using the Fund’s pro rata NAV (or its equivalent) as a practical expedient have not been categorized in the fair value hierarchy. The fair value amounts presented in this table are intended to permit reconciliation of the fair value hierarchy to the amounts presented in the Schedule of Investments.

**      All sub-categories within the security type represent their respective evaluation status. For a detailed breakout, please refer to the Schedule of Investments.

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 change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) included in the Consolidated Statement of Operations attributable to Level 3 investments that were held as of September 30, 2024 is $9,784,844.

Transfers into Level 3 during the period represent investments being valued by management using unobservable inputs as an adjustment to reported fair values. Transfers out of Level 3 during the period represent investments that are being measured at fair value using the Fund’s pro rata NAV (or its equivalent) as a practical expedient and/or being valued using observable market data.

The following is a summary of quantitative information about significant unobservable valuation inputs for Level 3 Fair Value Measurements for investments held as of September 30, 2024:
