Risk Considerations

Alternative investments, like AIP Alternative Lending Fund A and AIP Alternative Lending Fund P, are speculative and include a high degree of risk. Investors could lose all or a substantial amount of their investment. AIP Alternative Lending Fund A is suitable only for long-term investors willing to forgo liquidity and put capital at risk for an indefinite period of time. AIP Alternative Lending Fund A is highly illiquid - there is no secondary market for the shares of AIP Alternative Lending Fund A, and there are restrictions on assigning or otherwise transferring interests in AIP Alternative Lending Fund A. The shares of AIP Alternative Lending Fund A are not readily marketable and liquidity is provided only through expected quarterly repurchase offers. AIP Alternative Lending Fund A has higher fees and expenses than other investment vehicles, and such fees and expenses will lower the returns achieved by investors.

See Additional Risk Considerations for important disclosures. Investment in the Fund involves a high degree of risk and is suitable only for investors who can bear the risks associated with limited liquidity and therefore should be viewed as a long-term investment. For a complete description of terms and conditions, fees and other expenses, see the Fund's prospectus.

Important Risk Information

The Funds’ shares are not readily marketable and liquidity is expected to be provided only through discretionary quarterly repurchase offers. There can be no assurance that the Funds will achieve their investment objective or that there will be any return of capital. Investors should have the financial ability and willingness to accept the risk, including the risk of loss of the entire investment. Before investing, make an informed investment decision by carefully reading the relevant Fund’s prospectus for complete information, including charges, expenses and risks.

Alternative investments are speculative, involve a high degree of risk, are highly illiquid, typically have higher fees than other investments, and may engage in the use of leverage, short sales, and derivatives, which may increase the risk of investment loss. These investments are designed for investors who understand and are willing to accept these risks. Performance may be volatile, and an investor could lose all or a substantial portion of its investment.

Loans May Carry Risk and be Speculative. Loans are risky and speculative investments. If a borrower fails to make any payments, the amount of interest payments received by the Fund will be reduced. Many of the loans in which the Fund will invest will be unsecured personal loans. However, the Fund may invest in business and specialty finance, including secured loans. If borrowers do not make timely payments of the interest due on their loans, the yield on the Fund’s investments will decrease. If borrowers do not make timely payment of the principal due on their loans, or if the value of such loans decreases, the Fund’s NAV will decrease. Uncertainty and negative trends in general economic conditions in the United States and abroad, including significant tightening of credit markets, historically have created a difficult environment for companies in the lending industry. Many factors may have a detrimental impact on the Platforms’ operating performance and the ability of borrowers to pay principal and interest on loans. These factors include general economic conditions, unemployment levels, energy costs and interest rates, as well as events such as natural disasters, acts of war, terrorism and catastrophes.

Prepayment Risk. Borrowers may have the option to prepay all or a portion of the remaining principal amount due under a borrower loan at any time without penalty. In the event of a prepayment of all (or a portion of) the remaining unpaid principal amount of a borrower loan in which the Fund invests, the Fund will receive such prepayment but further interest will not accrue on such loan (or the prepaid portion, as applicable) after the date of the prepayment. When interest rates fall, the rate of prepayments tends to increase (as does price fluctuation). During such periods, reinvestment of the prepayment proceeds by the Fund will generally be at lower rates of return than the return on the assets that were prepaid. Prepayment reduces the yield to maturity and the average life of a loan or other security.

Default Risk. Loans have substantial vulnerability to default in payment of interest and/or repayment of principal. In addition, at times the repayment of principal or interest may be delayed. Certain of the loans in which the Fund may invest have large uncertainties or major risk exposures to adverse conditions, and should be considered to be predominantly speculative. Loan default rates may be significantly affected by economic downturns or general economic conditions beyond the Fund’s control. Any future downturns in the economy may result in high or increased loan default rates, including with respect to consumer credit card debt. The default history for loans may differ from that of the Fund’s investments. However, the default history for loans sourced via Platforms is limited, actual defaults may be greater than indicated by historical data and the timing of defaults may vary significantly from historical observations. The Platforms make payments ratably on an investor’s investment only if they receive the borrower’s payments on the corresponding loan. Further, investors may have to pay a Platform an additional servicing fee for any amount recovered on a delinquent loan and/or by the Platform’s third-party collection agencies assigned to collect on the loan. The Fund may be limited in its ability to recover any outstanding principal and interest under the loans because substantially all of the loans may be unsecured or undercollateralized, the loans will not be guaranteed or insured by any third-party or backed by any governmental authority, legal enforcement of the loans may be impracticable due to the relatively small size of the loans and the Fund will not have the ability to directly enforce creditors’ rights under the loans.

Credit Risk. Credit risk is the risk that a borrower or an issuer of a debt security or preferred stock, or the counterparty to a derivatives contract, will be unable to make interest, principal, dividend, or other payments when due. In general, lower rated securities carry a greater degree of credit risk. If rating agencies lower their ratings of securities in the Fund’s portfolio or if the credit standing of borrowers of loans in the Fund’s portfolio decline, the value of those obligations could decline. In addition, the underlying revenue source for a debt security, a preferred stock or a derivatives contract may be insufficient to pay interest, principal, dividends or other required payments in a timely manner. Any default by a borrower could cause a decline in the value of Fund assets. Even if the borrower or issuer does not actually default, adverse changes in the borrower’s or issuer’s financial condition may negatively affect the borrower’s or issuer’s credit ratings or presumed creditworthiness. These developments would adversely affect the market value of the borrower’s or issuer’s obligations or the value of credit derivatives if the Fund has sold credit derivatives.

Limited Secondary Market and Liquidity of Alternative Lending Securities. Alternative lending securities generally have a maturity between one to seven years. Investors acquiring alternative lending securities directly through Platforms and hoping to recoup their entire principal must generally hold their loans through maturity. There is also currently no active secondary trading market for loans in which the Fund will invest, and there can be no assurance that such a market will develop in the future. Until an active secondary market develops, the Fund will primarily adhere to a “purchase and hold” strategy and will not necessarily be able to access significant liquidity. In the event of adverse economic conditions in which it would be preferable for the Fund to sell certain of its loans, the Fund may not be able to sell a sufficient proportion of its portfolio as a result of liquidity constraints. In such circumstances, the overall returns to the Fund from its investments may be adversely affected. In addition, the limited liquidity may cause a Platform’s other investors and potential investors to consider these investments to be less appealing, and demand for these investments may decrease, which may adversely affect the Platforms’ business.

High-Yield Instruments and Unrated Debt Securities Risk. The loans purchased by the Fund are not rated by an NRSRO. In evaluating the creditworthiness of borrowers, the Adviser relies on the ratings ascribed to such borrowers by the relevant Platform or otherwise determined by the Adviser. The analysis of the creditworthiness of borrowers of loans may be a lot less reliable than for loans originated through more conventional means. In addition, the Fund may invest in debt securities and instruments that are classified as “higher yielding” (and, therefore, higher risk) investments. In most cases, such investments will be rated below investment grade by NRSRO or will be unrated. Investments in such securities are subject to greater risk of loss of principal and interest than higher rated instruments, may be considered to be predominantly speculative with respect to the obligor’s capacity to pay interest and repay principal, and may also be considered to be subject to greater risk in the case of deterioration of general economic conditions. The market for high-yield instruments may be smaller and less active than those that are higher rated, which may adversely affect the prices at which the Fund’s investments can be sold and result in losses to the Fund, which, in turn, could have a material adverse effect on the performance of the Fund.

Risk of Unsecured Loans. Many of the Fund’s investments are associated with loans that are unsecured obligations of borrowers. This means that they are not secured by any collateral, not insured by any third party, not backed by any governmental authority in any way and typically not guaranteed by any third party. When a borrower defaults on an unsecured loan, the holder’s only recourse is generally to sell the holder’s rights to principal or interest recovered at a discount to face value, or to accelerate the loan and enter into litigation to recover the outstanding principal and interest. There is no assurance that such litigation would result in full repayment of the loan and the costs of such measures may frequently exceed the outstanding unpaid amount of the borrowing. The Fund generally will need to rely on the efforts of the Platforms, servicers or their designated collection agencies to collect on defaulted loans and there is no guarantee that such parties will be successful in their efforts to collect on loans. In addition, the Fund’s investments in shares, certificates, notes or other securities representing an interest in a special purpose entity organized by an alternative lending Platform and the right to receive principal and interest payments due on whole loans or fractions of whole loans owned by such entity are typically unsecured obligations of the issuer. As a result, the Fund generally may not look to the underlying loans to satisfy delinquent payments on such interests, even though payments on such interests depend entirely on payments by underlying borrowers on their loans.

Platform Risk. The Fund is highly dependent on the Platforms for loan data, origination, sourcing and servicing. Alternative lending is a relatively new lending method, and the Platforms themselves have limited operating histories. The interest rates on loans are generally fixed by the Platforms on the basis of an analysis of the borrower’s credit. The analysis is done through credit decisions and scoring models that may prove to be inaccurate, be based on false, misleading or inaccurate information, be subject to programming or other errors and/or be ineffective entirely. Further, the Fund’s Investment Adviser may not be able to perform any independent follow-up verification on borrowers. As a general matter, borrowers assessed as having a higher risk of default are assigned higher rates. The Fund’s investment in any loan is not protected by any government guarantee.

Potential Inaccuracy of Information Supplied by Prospective Borrowers. The Fund is dependent on the Platforms to collect and verify certain information about each loan and prospective borrower. Prospective borrowers supply a variety of information regarding the purpose of the loan, income, occupation and employment status that is included in the Platforms’ underwriting. As a general matter, the Platforms may not verify the majority of this information, which may be incomplete, inaccurate, false or misleading. Prospective borrowers may misrepresent any of the information they provide to the Platforms, including their intentions for the use of loan proceeds. As a general matter, the Platforms may not verify any statements by prospective borrowers as to how loan proceeds are to be used nor confirm after loan funding how loan proceeds were used. To the extent false, misleading or incomplete information was supplied, it could adversely affect the Fund’s income and distributions to Shareholders.

Risk of Increase in Consumer Credit Default Rates. The Fund’s investment strategy and valuation of portfolio investments is dependent on projected consumer default rates. Because alternative lending Platforms are relatively new, default history for loans sourced via Platforms is limited. Actual defaults may be greater than indicated by historical data, and the timing of defaults may vary significantly from historical observations. Importantly, historical observations do not cover any period of severe economic downturn. In addition, consumer credit card defaults have recently increased. It is unclear whether this trend will continue; however, any future downturns in the economy may result in high or increased loan default rates, including with respect to consumer credit card debt. Furthermore, in a rising interest rate environment, default rates are likely to increase compared to their historical averages. Significant increases in default rates could impact the Fund’s ability to provide quarterly liquidity to its Shareholders. See “Limited Secondary Market and Liquidity of Alternative Lending Securities.”

Loans are Generally not Secured by any Collateral or Guaranteed or Insured by any Third Party. The ability of the Fund to earn revenue is completely dependent upon payments being made by the borrower of the loan acquired by the Fund through a Platform. The Fund (as a “lender member”) will receive payments under any loans it acquires through a Platform only if the corresponding borrower through that Platform (as a “borrower member”) makes payments on the loan. As a general matter, most loans are unsecured obligations of the borrowers. Thus, as a general matter, they are not secured by any collateral, not guaranteed or insured by any third party and not backed by any governmental authority in any way. The Platforms and their designated third-party collection agencies may be limited in their ability to collect on loans. The Fund must typically rely on the collection efforts of the Platforms and their designated collection agencies and does not generally expect to have any direct recourse against borrower members, will not be able to obtain the identity of the borrower members in order to contact a borrower about a loan and will otherwise have no ability to pursue borrower members to collect payment under loans.

Subsidiary Risk. By investing through its Subsidiaries, the Fund is exposed to the risks associated with the Subsidiaries’ investments. Subsidiaries will not be registered as investment companies under the 1940 Act and will not be subject to all of the investor protections of the 1940 Act, although each Subsidiary will be managed pursuant to the compliance policies and procedures of the Fund applicable to it. Changes in the laws of the United States and/or the jurisdiction in which a Subsidiary is organized could result in the inability of the Fund and/or the Subsidiary to operate as described in this prospectus and could adversely affect the Fund.

Risk of Bonds and Other Debt Securities Backed by Pools of Alternative Lending Securities. The Fund may invest in bonds and other debt securities backed by a pool of alternative lending securities. These investments include bonds or other debt securities issued by SPVs established solely for the purpose of holding alternative lending securities secured only by such assets (which practice is known as securitization). Payment of principal and interest on such bonds and debt securities is dependent upon the cash flows generated by the underlying loans, and therefore these investments are subject to the same types of risks as direct investments in alternative lending securities.

Small Business Risk. The Fund may invest in loans, receivables or merchant cash advances (MCAs) with exposure to small and medium size enterprises (SMEs). SMEs may not have steady earnings growth, may be operated by less experienced individuals, may have limited resources and may be more vulnerable to adverse general market or economic developments. Platforms that originate loans to or purchase receivables from SMEs do not always conduct on-site due diligence visits to verify that the businesses exist and are in good standing, which may lead to higher instances of fraud. Receivables and MCAs are advances based upon the future revenues or credit card sales of a business. Repayment of an MCA is typically made by the MCA provider taking an agreed upon percentage of the business’s future cash flow (often through a percentage of the business’s credit card transactions) until the MCA amount is repaid in full plus an agreed upon percentage of the MCA amount, referred to as a “factor.” The factor amount is usually higher than interest rates on commercial loans or other comparable loan products. Because MCAs are repaid using the future receipts of the business and are not unconditional obligations by the merchant to repay the advance, MCAs are generally not considered to be loans that are subject to state licensing and usury laws. If the business does not generate sufficient receipts due to adverse business conditions, it may not be able to pay off the MCA, thereby adversely affecting the Fund’s investment. Fraud, delays or write-offs associated with SME loans, receivables and MCAs could directly impact the profitability of the Fund’s potential investments in such instruments. Some SME assets have recourse to a personal guarantor, which may become obligated to pay any remaining amounts owed to the owner of the loan or receivable, although others have no recourse and the Fund would have no such “back-up” if the business fails to pay back the principal and interest or advance amount and additional factor.

Student Loans Risk. In general, the repayment ability of borrowers of student loans, as well as the rate of prepayments on student loans, may be influenced by a variety of economic, social, competitive and other factors, including changes in interest rates, the availability of alternative financings, regulatory changes affecting the student loan market and the general economy. For instance, certain student loans may be made to individuals who generally have higher debt burdens than other individual borrowers (such as students of post-secondary programs). The effect of the foregoing factors is impossible to predict.

Real Estate Loans Risk. Investments in real estate loans may be subject to risks associated with the direct ownership of real estate. These risks include the cyclical nature of real estate values, risks related to general and local economic conditions, overbuilding and increased competition, increases in property taxes and operating expenses, demographic trends and variations in rental income, changes in zoning laws, casualty or condemnation losses, environmental risks, regulatory limitations on rents, changes in neighborhood values, changes in the appeal of properties to tenants, increases in interest rates and other real estate capital market influences. Generally, increases in interest rates will increase the costs of obtaining financing, which could directly and indirectly decrease the value of the Fund’s investments. To the extent the Fund invests in real estate loans, such investments will be limited to real estate loans where, at the time of investment, the loan-to-value ratio of the property is less than or equal to 95%.

Leverage Risk: The Fund is permitted to use any form or combination of financial leverage instruments, and such use of leverage may expose the Fund to greater risk and increased costs; there is no assurance that the Fund’s leveraging strategy will be successful.

^a  The Fund anticipates a quarterly tender offer subject to authorization by the Board of Trustees, in an amount of 5-25% of net asset value.  The Fund has no obligation to repurchase Fund shares at any time and therefore such purchases are not guaranteed. Shareholders should consider shares of the Fund to be an illiquid investment.

^b The Fund pays the Investment Adviser the Management Fee, monthly, at the rate of 0.0625% (0.75% on an annualized basis) of the value of the Fund’s Managed Assets as of the close of business on the last business day of each month (including any assets in respect of Shares that will be repurchased by the Fund as of the end of the month) for the services it provides. Managed Assets refers to the total assets of the Fund (including any assets attributable to borrowings for investment purposes) minus the sum of the Fund’s accrued liabilities (other than liabilities representing borrowings for investment purposes).

^c Total Annual Fund Fees and Expenses of 2.28% (including management fee of 0.80%, interest payments on borrowed funds of 0.24%, platform loan fees of 0.94%, acquired fund fees and expenses of 0.02% and other expenses of 0.28%) are presented in the Fund's prospectus.

The Fund, and therefore the Shareholders, will indirectly bear Platform loan fees, such as loan servicing fees and loan trailing fees that are paid to the servicer of the applicable Platform and, in certain cases, to applicable originator of the alternative lending securities in which the Fund invests.
