Carve-Outs

Revenue and assets under management (“AUM”) are as of September 30, 2024. Revenue is calculated as the combined trailing-twelve months revenue across our active portfolio companies as of September 30, 2024. AUM is calculated as total gross assets reported at fair value, plus any remaining uncalled general partner and limited partner commitments of active Pacific Avenue-managed investment partnerships, as of September 30, 2024. For active portfolio companies for which capital commitments are not applicable (e.g. not held through a fund or fund-like structure), AUM is based on the remaining equity fair value as of September 30, 2024.
