1. ORGANIZATION
CION Ares Diversified Credit Fund (the “Fund”) is a closed-end, diversified management investment company that is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (together with the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, the “Investment Company Act”). The Fund operates as an interval fund and continuously offers its shares. The Fund was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on June 21, 2016.
The Fund’s investment objective is to provide superior risk-adjusted returns across various market cycles by investing in a diversified portfolio of liquid and illiquid asset classes. The Fund seeks to capitalize on market inefficiencies and relative value opportunities throughout the entire global credit spectrum.
The Fund is externally managed by CION Ares Management, LLC (the “Adviser”) pursuant to an investment advisory and management agreement. The Adviser was registered as an investment adviser with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended, on January 4, 2017. The Adviser is a joint venture between affiliates of Ares Management Corporation (“Ares Management”), a publicly traded, leading global alternative investment manager, and CION Investment Group, LLC and is controlled by Ares Management. The Adviser oversees the management of the Fund’s activities and is responsible for making investment decisions for the Fund’s portfolio. Ares Operations LLC, a subsidiary of Ares Management, provides certain administrative and other services necessary for the Fund to operate.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated schedule of investments has been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), and includes the accounts of the Fund and its consolidated subsidiaries. The Fund is an investment company following accounting and reporting guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946, Financial Services—Investment Companies.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include funds from time to time deposited with financial institutions and short-term, liquid investments in a money market account. Cash and cash equivalents are carried at cost, which approximates fair value.
Concentration of Credit Risk
The Fund places its cash and cash equivalents with financial institutions and, at times, cash held in depository or money market accounts may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insured limit.
Investment Transactions
Investment transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains or losses are measured by the difference between the net proceeds from the repayment or sale and the amortized cost basis of the investment using the specific identification method without regard to unrealized gains or losses previously recognized, and include investments charged off during the period, net of recoveries. Unrealized gains or losses primarily reflect the change in investment values, including the reversal of previously recorded unrealized gains or losses when gains or losses are realized.
Pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the Investment Company Act, the Fund’s board of trustees (the “Board”) has designated the Adviser as the Fund’s “valuation designee” (the “Valuation Designee”) to perform fair value determinations for investments held by the Fund without readily available market quotations subject to the oversight of the Board. All investments are recorded at their fair value.
Investments for which market quotations are readily available are typically valued at such market quotations. In order to validate market quotations, the Valuation Designee looks at a number of factors to determine if the quotations are representative of fair value, including the source and nature of the quotations. Debt and equity securities that are not publicly
CION Ares Diversified Credit Fund
Notes to Consolidated Schedule of Investments (continued)
March 31, 2025 (Unaudited)
(in thousands, except percentages and as otherwise noted)
traded or whose market prices are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Valuation Designee, subject to the oversight of the Board, in accordance with the Valuation Designee’s valuation policy. The Valuation Designee may utilize independent third-party pricing and valuation services to assist in the valuation of each portfolio investment without a readily available market quotation in accordance with the valuation policy and a consistently applied valuation process.
Investments in the Fund’s portfolio that do not have a readily available market are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Valuation Designee as described herein. As part of the valuation process for investments that do not have readily available market prices, the Valuation Designee may take into account the following types of factors, if relevant, in determining the fair value of the Fund's investments: the enterprise value of a portfolio company (the entire value of the portfolio company to a market participant, including the sum of the values of debt and equity securities used to capitalize the enterprise at a point in time), the nature and realizable value of any collateral, the portfolio company's ability to make payments and its earnings and discounted cash flow, the markets in which the portfolio company does business, a comparison of the portfolio company's securities to any similar publicly traded securities, changes in the interest rate environment and the credit markets, which may affect the price at which similar investments would trade in their principal markets and other relevant factors. When an external event such as a purchase transaction, public offering or subsequent sale occurs, the Valuation Designee considers the pricing indicated by the external event to corroborate its valuation.
Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of investments that do not have a readily available market value, the fair value of the Fund's investments may fluctuate from period to period. Additionally, the fair value of the Fund's investments may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market existed for such investments and may differ materially from the values that the Fund may ultimately realize. Further, such investments are generally subject to legal and other restrictions on resale or otherwise are less liquid than publicly traded securities. If the Fund was required to liquidate a portfolio investment in a forced or liquidation sale, the Fund could realize significantly less than the value at which the Fund has recorded it. In addition, changes in the market environment and other events that may occur over the life of the investments may cause the gains or losses ultimately realized on these investments to be different than the unrealized gains or losses reflected in the valuations currently assigned. See Note 3 for more information on the Fund's valuation process.
Interest Income Recognition
Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis and includes the accretion of discounts, amortization of premiums and payment-in-kind (“PIK”) interest. Discounts from and premiums to par value on investments purchased are accreted/amortized into interest income over the life of the respective security using the effective yield method. To the extent loans contain PIK provisions, PIK interest, computed at the contractual rate specified in each applicable agreement, is accrued and recorded as interest income and added to the principal balance of the loan. PIK interest income added to the principal balance is generally collected upon repayment of the outstanding principal. To maintain the Fund’s tax treatment as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, this non-cash source of income must be paid out to shareholders in the form of dividends for the year the income was earned, even though the Fund has not yet collected the cash. The amortized cost of investments represents the original cost adjusted for any accretion of discounts, amortization of premiums and PIK interest.
Loans are generally placed on non-accrual status when principal or interest payments are past due 30 days or more or when there is reasonable doubt that principal or interest will be collected in full. Accrued and unpaid interest is generally reversed when a loan is placed on non-accrual status. Interest payments received on non-accrual loans may be recognized as income or applied to principal depending upon the Fund’s judgment regarding collectability. Non-accrual loans are restored to accrual status when past due principal and interest are paid or there is no longer any reasonable doubt that such principal or interest will be collected in full and, in the Fund's judgment, are likely to remain current. The Fund may make exceptions to this policy if the loan has sufficient collateral value (i.e., typically measured as enterprise value of the portfolio company) or is in the process of collection.

(in thousands, except percentages and as otherwise noted)
Collateralized loan obligation (“CLO”) equity investments recognize investment income by utilizing an effective interest methodology based upon an effective yield to maturity utilizing projected cash flows, as required by ASC 325-40, Beneficial Interest in Securitized Financial Assets.
Dividend Income Recognition
Dividend income on preferred equity is recorded on an accrual basis to the extent that such amounts are payable by the portfolio company and are expected to be collected. Dividend income on common equity securities is recorded on the record date for private portfolio companies or on the ex-dividend date for publicly traded portfolio companies. To the extent preferred equity contains PIK provisions, PIK dividends, computed at the contractual rate specified in each applicable agreement, are accrued and recorded as dividend income and added to the principal balance of the preferred equity. PIK dividends added to the principal balance are generally collected upon redemption of the equity.
Foreign Currency Transactions and Foreign Currency Forward Contracts
The Fund’s books and records are maintained in U.S. dollars. Any foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars on the following basis: (i) fair value of investment securities, other assets and liabilities at the exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period; and (ii) purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expense at the exchange rates prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions, income or expenses.
The Fund does not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from the changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included in “net realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments” in the consolidated statement of operations.
Reported net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates of securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of income and expense items recorded on the Fund's books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign currency gains and losses arise from the changes in fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates.
Investments in foreign companies and securities of foreign governments may involve special risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in U.S. companies and securities of the U.S. government. These risks include, among other things, revaluation of currencies, less reliable information about issuers, different transaction clearance and settlement practices, and potential future adverse political and economic developments. Moreover, investments in foreign companies and securities of foreign governments and their markets may be less liquid and their prices more volatile than those of comparable U.S. companies and the U.S. government.
The Fund may enter into foreign currency forward contracts for operational purposes and to protect against adverse exchange rate fluctuations. A foreign currency forward contract is an agreement between the Fund and a counterparty to buy or sell a foreign currency at a specific exchange rate on a future date. The Fund may also enter into these contracts for purposes of increasing exposure to a foreign currency or to shift exposure to foreign currency fluctuations from one currency to another. The net U.S. dollar value of foreign currency underlying all contractual commitments held by the Fund and the resulting unrealized appreciation or depreciation are determined using foreign currency exchange rates from an independent pricing service. The Fund is subject to the credit risk that the other party will not complete the obligations of the contract. The fair values of the foreign currency forward contracts are obtained from an independent pricing source.
Derivative Instruments
The Fund values its derivatives at fair value with the unrealized gains or losses recorded in “net realized and unrealized gains or losses on derivative contracts” in the Fund’s consolidated statement of operations.
Commitments and Contingencies
In the normal course of business, the Fund's investment activities involve executions, settlement and financing of various transactions resulting in receivables from, and payables to, brokers, dealers and the Fund's custodian. These activities may expose the Fund to risk in the event that such parties are unable to fulfill contractual obligations. Management does not anticipate any material losses from counterparties with whom it conducts business. Consistent with standard business practice,
CION Ares Diversified Credit Fund
Notes to Consolidated Schedule of Investments (continued)
March 31, 2025 (Unaudited)
(in thousands, except percentages and as otherwise noted)
the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnifications, and is engaged from time to time in various legal actions. The maximum exposure of the Fund under these arrangements and activities is unknown. However, the Fund expects
the risk of material loss to be remote.
Commitments to extend credit include loan proceeds the Fund is obligated to advance, such as delayed draws or revolving credit arrangements. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses. Unrealized gains or losses associated with unfunded commitments are recorded in the consolidated financial statements and reflected as an adjustment to the fair value of the related security in the consolidated schedule of investments. The par amount of the unfunded commitments is not recognized by the Fund until it becomes funded.
Use of Estimates in the Preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Adviser to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of actual and contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of income or loss and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and such differences may be actual and contingent. Significant estimates include the valuation of investments.
3. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Fund follows ASC 825-10, Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (“ASC 825-10”), which provides companies the option to report selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value. ASC 825-10 also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between companies that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities and to more easily understand the effect of the company’s choice to use fair value on its earnings. ASC 825-10 also requires entities to display the fair value of the selected assets and liabilities on the face of the balance sheet. The Fund has not elected the ASC 825-10 option to report selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value. With the exception of the line items entitled “other assets”, “mandatory redeemable preferred shares” and “debt,” which are reported at amortized cost, the carrying value of all other assets and liabilities approximate fair value.
The Fund also follows ASC 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820-10”), which among other matters, requires enhanced disclosures about investments that are measured and reported at fair value. ASC 820-10 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with GAAP and expands disclosure of fair value measurements. ASC 820-10 determines fair value to be the price that would be received for an investment in a current sale, which assumes an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820-10 requires the Fund to assume that the portfolio investment is sold in its principal market to market participants or, in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market, which may be a hypothetical market. Market participants are defined as buyers and sellers in the principal or most advantageous market that are independent, knowledgeable, and willing and able to transact. In accordance with ASC 820-10, the Fund has considered its principal market as the market in which the Fund exits its portfolio investments with the greatest volume and level of activity. ASC 820-10 specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to those valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. In accordance with ASC 820-10, these inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
•Level 1—Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Fund has the ability to access.
•Level 2—Valuations based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly.
•Level 3—Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.
In addition to using the above inputs in investment valuations, the Valuation Designee continues to employ its net asset valuation policy and procedures that have been reviewed by the Fund's Board in connection with their designation of the Adviser as the Fund’s valuation designee and are consistent with the provisions of Rule 2a-5 under the Investment Company Act and ASC 820-10 (see Note 2 for more information). Consistent with its valuation policy and procedures, the Valuation Designee evaluates the source of inputs, including any markets in which the Fund’s investments are trading (or any markets in
CION Ares Diversified Credit Fund
Notes to Consolidated Schedule of Investments (continued)
March 31, 2025 (Unaudited)
(in thousands, except percentages and as otherwise noted)
which securities with similar attributes are trading), in determining fair value. Because there is not a readily available market value for most of the investments in the Fund's portfolio, the fair value of the investments must typically be determined using unobservable inputs.
The assets and liabilities classified as Level 1 or Level 2 are typically valued based on quoted market prices, forward foreign exchange rates, dealer quotations or alternative pricing sources supported by observable inputs. The Valuation Designee obtains prices from independent pricing services which generally utilize broker quotes and may use various other pricing techniques which take into account appropriate factors such as yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics and other data. The Valuation Designee is responsible for all inputs and assumptions related to the pricing of securities. The Valuation Designee has internal controls in place that support its reliance on information received from third-party pricing sources. As part of its internal controls, the Valuation Designee obtains, reviews, and tests information to corroborate prices received from third-party pricing sources. For any security, if market or dealer quotations are not readily available, or if the Valuation Designee determines that a quotation of a security does not represent a fair value, then the security is valued at a fair value as determined in good faith by the Valuation Designee, subject to the oversight of the Board and will be classified as Level 3. In such instances, the Valuation Designee will use valuation techniques consistent with the market or income approach to measure fair value and will give consideration to all factors which might reasonably affect the fair value.
The Fund's portfolio investments classified as Level 3 (other than as described below in the following paragraph) are typically valued using two different valuation techniques. The first valuation technique is an analysis of the enterprise value (“EV”) of the portfolio company. EV means the entire value of the portfolio company to a market participant, including the sum of the values of debt and equity securities used to capitalize the enterprise at a point in time. The primary method for determining EV uses a multiple analysis whereby appropriate multiples are applied to the portfolio company's EBITDA (generally defined as net income before net interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization). EBITDA multiples are typically determined based upon review of market comparable transactions and publicly traded comparable companies, if any. The Valuation Designee may also employ other valuation multiples to determine EV, such as revenues. The Valuation Designee may also use industry specific valuation analyses to determine EV, such as capitalization rate analysis used in the real estate industry. The second method for determining EV uses a discounted cash flow analysis whereby future expected cash flows of the portfolio company are discounted to determine a present value using estimated discount rates (typically a weighted average cost of capital based on costs of debt and equity consistent with current market conditions). The EV analysis is performed to determine the value of equity investments, the value of debt investments in portfolio companies where the Fund has control or could gain control through an option or warrant security, and to determine if there is credit impairment for debt investments. If debt investments are credit impaired, an EV analysis may be used to value such debt investments; however, in addition to the methods outlined above, other methods such as a liquidation or wind down analysis may be utilized to estimate EV. The second valuation technique is a yield analysis, which is typically performed for non-credit impaired debt investments in portfolio companies where the Fund does not own a controlling equity position. To determine fair value using a yield analysis, a current price is imputed for the investment based upon an assessment of the expected market yield for a similarly structured investment with a similar level of risk. In the yield analysis, the Valuation Designee considers the current contractual interest rate, the maturity and other terms of the investment relative to risk of the company and the specific investment. A key determinant of risk, among other things, is the leverage through the investment relative to the EV of the portfolio company. As debt investments held by the Fund are substantially illiquid with no active transaction market, the Valuation Designee depends on primary market data, including newly funded transactions, as well as secondary market data with respect to high yield debt instruments and syndicated loans, as inputs in determining the appropriate market yield, as applicable.
The fair value of CLOs is estimated based on various valuation models from third-party pricing services. The provided prices are checked using internally developed models. The valuation models generally utilize discounted cash flows and take into consideration prepayment and loss assumptions, based on historical experience and projected performance, economic factors, the characteristics and condition of the underlying collateral, comparable yields for similar securities and recent trading activity. These securities are classified as Level 3.
Private asset-backed securities classified as Level 3 are typically valued using two different valuation techniques. The first valuation technique is an analysis of the forecasted cash flows of the security. The forecasted cash flows take into consideration prepayment and loss assumptions, based on historical experience and projected performance, economic factors, and the characteristics and condition of the underlying collateral. For equity securities, the projected cash flows are present valued using a market discount rate to determine the fair value. For debt securities, the analysis is used to determine if the borrower has the ability to repay its obligations. If it is determined that the borrower does have the ability to repay its obligations, the second valuation technique that is utilized is a yield analysis. To determine fair value using a yield analysis, a

current price is imputed for the investment based upon an assessment of the expected market yield for a similarly structured investment with a similar level of risk. In the yield analysis, the Valuation Designee considers the current contractual interest rate, the maturity and other terms of the investment relative to risk of the borrower and the specific investment. As the debt investments are substantially illiquid with no active transaction market, the Valuation Designee depends on primary market data, including newly funded transactions, as inputs in determining the appropriate market yield, as applicable.
The following table is a summary of the inputs used as of March 31, 2025, in valuing the Fund’s investments carried at fair value, derivative assets and derivative liabilities:

________________________________________
(a)Unobservable inputs were weighted by the relative fair value of investments.
Changes in market yields, discount rates or EBITDA multiples, each in isolation, may change the fair value of
certain of the Fund’s investments. Generally, an increase in market yields or discount rates or decrease in EBITDA
multiples may result in a decrease in the fair value of certain of the Fund’s investments.
Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of investments that do not have a readily available market value, the fair value of the Fund’s investments may fluctuate from period to period. Additionally, the fair value of the Fund’s investments may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market existed for such investments and may differ materially from the values that the Fund may ultimately realize. Further, such investments are generally subject to legal and other restrictions on resale or otherwise are less liquid than publicly traded securities. If the Fund was required to liquidate a portfolio investment in a forced or liquidation sale, it could realize significantly less than the value at which the Fund has recorded it.
In addition, changes in the market environment and other events that may occur over the life of the investments may cause the gains or losses ultimately realized on these investments to be different than the unrealized gains or losses reflected in the valuations currently assigned.
