These analyses are reviewed and discussed on a biweekly basis by the Fund&#146;s executive officers and senior members of the Fund&#146;s investment adviser (including members of the investment committee) and are updated on a &#147;real time&#148; basis in order to ensure that the Fund has adequate liquidity to satisfy its&nbsp;unfunded investment commitments.</font></p>
