The Company, through its subsidiaries acts as the investment adviser, general partner or managing member to customized funds and commingled funds (collectively, the “GCM Funds”).
GCMG was incorporated on July 27, 2020 under the laws of the State of Delaware for the purpose of consummating the Transaction and merging with CF Finance Acquisition Corp. (“CFAC”), which was incorporated on July 9, 2014 under the laws of the State of Delaware. GCMG owns all of the equity interests of GCM Grosvenor Holdings, LLC (“IntermediateCo”), formerly known as CF Finance Intermediate Acquisition, LLC until November 18, 2020, which is the general partner of GCMH subsequent to the Transaction. GCMG’s ownership (through IntermediateCo) of GCMH as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 was approximately 23.3% and 23.4%, respectively.
GCMH is a holding company operated pursuant to the Fifth Amended and Restated Limited Liability Limited Partnership Agreement (the “Partnership Agreement”) dated November 17, 2020, among the limited partners including Grosvenor Holdings, L.L.C. (“Holdings”), Grosvenor Holdings II, L.L.C. (“Holdings II”) and GCM Grosvenor Management, LLC (“Management LLC”) (collectively, together with GCM Progress Subsidiary LLC, the “GCMH Equityholders”).
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, all necessary adjustments (which consists of only normal recurring items) have been made to fairly present the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the interim periods presented. Results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2022. These unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
The Company is an “emerging growth company” (“EGC”), as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), following the consummation of the merger of CFAC and the Company. The Company has elected to use this extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards, pursuant to Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act, that have different effective dates for public and private companies until the earlier of the date that it (i) is no longer an emerging growth company or (ii) affirmatively and irrevocably opts out of the extended transition periods provided by the JOBS Act. As result of this election, its consolidated financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates.
Continuing Impact of COVID-19
The COVID-19 pandemic and the subsequent spread of multiple variants has continued to impact the global economy and financial markets. Given the amount of uncertainty currently regarding the scope and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company is unable to predict the precise impact the COVID-19 pandemic will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In line with public markets and credit indices, the Company’s investments may be adversely impacted.

Fair Value Measurements
The Company categorizes its fair value measurements according to a three-level hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are defined as follows:
•Level 1 – Inputs that reflect unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date;
•Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly, including inputs in markets that are not considered to be active; and
•Level 3 – Inputs that are unobservable.
Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company’s assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available under the circumstances.
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents and fees receivable approximate fair value due to the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments.
Investments
Investments primarily consist of investments in GCM Funds and other funds the Company does not control, but is deemed to exert significant influence, and are generally accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method of accounting, the Company records its share of the underlying income or loss of such entities, which reflects the net asset value of such investments. Management believes the net asset value of the funds is representative of fair value. The resulting unrealized gains and losses are included as investment income in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.
The Company’s equity method investments in the GCM Funds investing in private equity, real estate and infrastructure (“GCM PEREI Funds”) are valued based on the most recent available information, which typically has a delay of up to three months due to the timing of financial information received from the investments held by the GCM PEREI Funds. The Company records its share of capital contributions to and distributions from the GCM PEREI Funds within investments in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition during the three-month lag period. To the extent that management is aware of material events that affect the GCM PEREI Funds during the intervening period, the impact of the events would be disclosed in the notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
For certain other debt investments, the Company has elected the fair value option. Such election is irrevocable and is made at the investment level at initial recognition. The debt investments are not publicly traded and are a Level 3 fair value measurement. For investments carried at fair value, the Company records the increase or decrease in fair value as investment income in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. See Note 6 for additional information regarding the Company’s other investments.
Leases
The Company’s leases primarily consist of operating lease agreements for office space in various countries around the world, including for its headquarters in Chicago, Illinois. On January 1, 2022, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) on a prospective basis. As a result, prior periods were not adjusted. The new standard requires lessees to use a right-of-use (“ROU”) model where lease ROU assets and lease liabilities are recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition for all operating leases with initial terms exceeding one year. Lease ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s remaining minimum lease obligations. The Company made a permitted accounting policy election not to apply the ROU model to short-term leases, which are defined as leases with initial terms of one year or less.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
(In thousands, except share and per share amounts and where otherwise noted)
The Company determines whether a contract contains a lease at inception. Lease ROU assets and lease liabilities are initially recognized on the lease commencement date based on the present value of the minimum lease payments over the lease term. When determining the lease term, the Company generally does not include options to renew as it is not reasonably certain at contract inception that the Company will exercise the option(s). The implicit rate is not generally readily determinable, so the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate to determine the present value of future minimum lease payments. Lease ROU assets may include initial direct costs incurred by the Company and are reduced by lease incentives. Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term within general, administrative and other in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
Recently Issued Accounting Standards – Adopted in Current Reporting Period
In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which requires that operating leases be recorded as assets and liabilities in the statement of financial position, among other changes. The amendments in this ASU are effective for public business entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. On June 3, 2020, the FASB extended the adoption date for all other entities to annual periods beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this standard on January 1, 2022 on a prospective basis. Adoption increased both the Company’s assets and liabilities for the recorded lease ROU and lease liability, with no material impact to the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income as expense for operating leases continues to be recognized on a straight-line basis. The Company elected to apply practical expedients provided in the guidance to not reassess: (1) whether expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, (2) existing lease classification and (3) initial direct costs. On adoption, the Company recognized approximately $16 million of lease ROU assets and approximately $21 million of lease liabilities related to its operating leases in its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, including approximately $5 million that was reclassified from accrued rent (included in accrued expenses and other liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition as of December 31, 2021) to lease liabilities.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards – To be Adopted in Future Periods
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which modifies ASC 740 to simplify the accounting for income taxes. The guidance, among other changes, (i) provides a policy election to not allocate consolidated income taxes when a member of a consolidated tax return is not subject to income tax and (ii) provides guidance to evaluate whether a step-up in tax basis of goodwill relates to a business combination in which book goodwill was recognized or a separate transaction. The amendments in this ASU are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. Early adoption of the amendments is permitted. The Company will defer adoption until the guidance is effective for non-public entities, as the Company currently qualifies as an EGC and has elected to take advantage of the extended transition period afforded to EGCs as it applies to the adoption of new accounting standards. The method of adoption varies for the updates included in the ASU. The Company is evaluating this guidance but currently expects that adoption will not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326) Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. ASU 2016-13 requires an entity to utilize a new impairment model known as the current expected credit loss (“CECL”) model to estimate its lifetime “expected credit loss” and record an allowance that presents the net amount expected to be collected on the financial asset. The CECL model is expected to result in more timely recognition of credit losses. ASU 2016-13 also requires new disclosures for financial assets measured at amortized cost, loans and available-for-sale debt securities. This guidance is for public business entities that are an SEC filer, excluding entities eligible to be smaller reporting companies as defined by the SEC, with fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. On March 9, 2020, the FASB extended the adoption date for all other entities to annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating this guidance but currently expects that adoption will not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

3. Mosaic Transaction
Prior to Amendment and Exercise of Mosaic Call Right
Effective January 1, 2020, the Partnership and several subsidiaries, (collectively, the “Seller”) entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement (“Agreement”) and issued certain limited partnership interests in several subsidiaries (“Carry Plan Entities”) to Mosaic Acquisitions 2020, L.P. (“Mosaic”). In addition, Mosaic also acquired the rights to receive a percentage of carried interest from certain GCM Funds and agreed to provide additional funding under certain circumstances up to a maximum amount as defined in the Agreement (collectively, the “Mosaic Transaction”). Mosaic issued Class A and Class B equity interests to GCMH, Holdings and Mosaic Feeder, L.P. (“Mosaic Feeder”). The Partnership served as the general partner of Mosaic, which was consolidated as the Partnership holds a controlling financial interest in Mosaic. Mosaic Feeder was beneficially owned by Lakeshore Investments GP, LLC (“Lakeshore”), a related party, and an unaffiliated third-party investor (“Mosaic Counterparty”) and was not consolidated.
On December 31, 2020, the Company paid $2.6 million to Mosaic Feeder for the right, but not the obligation, to require Mosaic Feeder to sell to GCMH all of the Class A and Class B equity interests held by Mosaic Feeder in Mosaic (the “Mosaic Call Right”) for a purchase price equal to the greater of 1.3x its investment or a 12% internal rate of return on its investment.
Further, Mosaic Counterparty had the right, but not the obligation, to require the Partnership to acquire all of the Class A and Class B Interests held by Mosaic Feeder in Mosaic (the “Put Option”) for a purchase price equal to Mosaic Counterparty receiving the greater of 1.3x of its investment or a 12% internal rate of return on its investment (the “Put Price”). The Put Option could only be exercised if a Triggering Event as defined in the Agreement occurred, which management had deemed to be remote. If the Partnership declined to pay the Put Price, Mosaic Counterparty may either step in and act as the general partner of Mosaic and control Mosaic until Mosaic Counterparty recoups the Put Price or effect a transfer of the underlying assets of Mosaic to Mosaic Counterparty.
Management determined that the Mosaic Transaction should be evaluated under the guidance in ASC 810 and concluded that Mosaic was accounted for as a variable interest entity (“VIE”). The Partnership was deemed the primary beneficiary and therefore consolidated Mosaic. In addition, the Partnership concluded that the Put Option was embedded in an equity host contract but did not meet the net settlement criterion of an embedded derivative and therefore no separate accounting was required. However, as the Put Option was not solely within the control of the Partnership, the noncontrolling interest related to Mosaic had been classified as mezzanine equity.
Amendment and Exercise of Mosaic Call Right
The terms of the Mosaic Call Right were amended and the purchase price was reduced to 1.225x the investment for the period through July 15, 2021 in exchange for the Company bearing certain interim funding costs of Mosaic Feeder. On July 2, 2021, GCMH exercised the amended Mosaic Call Right to purchase the interest in Mosaic for a net purchase price of $165.0 million inclusive of distributions through the closing date but net of $19.5 million of consolidated Mosaic cash to fund investments and option premiums. GCMH’s purchase resulted in the interest previously held by Mosaic Counterparty no longer being accounted for as a redeemable noncontrolling interest of the Company following July 2, 2021. As the Company continues to consolidate Mosaic, the transaction was accounted for as an equity transaction without a change in control at the July 2, 2021 net carrying value, including associated tax impacts. As a result, $14.0 million was recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in capital and $47.5 million was recorded as a reduction to noncontrolling interests in GCMH on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Equity (Deficit) in the third quarter of 2021.

Money Market Funds
Money market funds are valued using quoted market prices and are included in cash and cash equivalents in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.
Interest Rate Derivatives
Management determines the fair value of its interest rate derivative agreements based on the present value of expected future cash flows based on observable future LIBOR rates applicable to each swap contract using linear interpolation, inclusive of the risk of non-performance, using a discount rate appropriate for the duration.
Other Investments
Investments in the subordinated notes of a structured alternatives investment solution are not publicly traded and are classified as Level 3. Management determines the fair value of these other investments using a discounted cash flow analysis (“Cash Flow Analysis”). These positions were classified as Level 3 as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 because of the use of significant unobservable inputs in the Cash Flow Analysis as follows:

1.In determining these inputs, management considers the following factors including, but not limited to: liquidity, estimated yield, capital deployment, diversified multi-strategy appreciation, expected net multiple of investment capital across Private Assets investments, annual operating expenses, as well as investment guidelines such as concentration limits, position size, and investment periods.
2.Unless otherwise noted, this column represents the directional change in fair value of the Level 3 investments that would result from an increase to the corresponding unobservable input. A decrease to the unobservable input would have the opposite effect.
3.The discount rate was based on the relevant benchmark rate, spread, and yield migrations on related securitized assets.
4.Inputs were weighted based on actual and estimated expected return included in the range.
5.Inputs were weighted based on the actual and estimated commitments to the respective private asset investments included in the range.
The resulting fair value of $10.6 million and $11.0 million was recorded within investments in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.
The following table presents changes in Level 3 assets measured at fair value for the three months ended March 31, 2022:

Public Warrants
The public warrants are valued using quoted market prices on the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC under the ticker GCMGW.
Private Warrants
The private warrants were classified as Level 3 as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 because of the use of significant unobservable inputs in the valuation, however the overall private warrant valuation and change in fair value are not material to the condensed consolidated financial statements.
The valuations for the private warrants were determined to be $1.68 and $1.76 per unit as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The resulting fair value of $1.5 million and $1.6 million was recorded within warrant liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. See Note 8 for additional information regarding the warrant activity for the three months ended March 31, 2022.

| | | | | | |
| | | | | | |
Dividend equivalent payments of $1.3 million were accrued for holders of RSUs as of March 31, 2022. Distributions to partners represent distributions made to GCMH Equityholders.
On August 6, 2021, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase plan of up to an aggregate of $25.0 million, excluding fees and expenses, which may be used to repurchase shares of the Company’s outstanding Class A common stock and warrants to purchase shares of Class A common stock, as well as to reduce shares of Class A common stock to be issued to employees to satisfy associated tax obligations in connection with the settlement of equity-based awards granted under our 2020 Incentive Award Plan (and any successor equity plan thereto).

9. Variable Interest Entities
The Company consolidates certain VIEs in which it is determined that the Company is the primary beneficiary.
The Company holds variable interests in certain entities that are VIEs which are not consolidated, as it is determined that the Company is not the primary beneficiary. The Company’s involvement with such entities is generally in the form of direct equity interests in, and fee arrangements with, the entities in which it also serves as the general partner or managing member. The Company evaluated its variable interests in the VIEs and determined it is not considered the primary beneficiary of the entities primarily because it does not have interests in the entities that could potentially be significant. No reconsideration events that caused a change in the Company’s consolidation conclusions occurred during either the three months ended March 31, 2022 or the year ended December 31, 2021. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the total unfunded commitments from the special limited partner and general partners to the unconsolidated VIEs were $34.7 million and $34.7 million, respectively.

Partnership Interest in Holdings, Holdings II and Management LLC
Payments to the employees for partnership interest awards are made by Holdings, Holdings II and Management LLC. As a result, the Company records a non-cash profits interest compensation charge and an offsetting deemed contribution to equity (deficit) to reflect the payments made by the GCMH Equityholders. As the payments are made by Holdings, Holdings II and Management LLC, the expense that is pushed down to GCMH and the offsetting deemed contribution are each attributed solely to noncontrolling interest in GCMH. Any liability related to the awards is recognized at Holdings, Holdings II or Management LLC as Holdings, Holdings II or Management LLC is the party responsible for satisfying the obligation, and is not shown in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company has recorded deemed contributions to equity (deficit) from Holdings, Holdings II and Management LLC of approximately $7.1 million and $4.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, for partnership interest-based compensation expense which will ultimately be paid by Holdings, Holdings II or Management LLC.
The Company has modified awards to certain individuals upon their voluntary retirement or intention to retire as employees. These awards generally include a stated target amount that, upon payment, terminates the recipient’s rights to future distributions and allows for a lump sum buy-out of the awards, at the discretion of the managing member of Holdings, Holdings II, and Management LLC. The awards are accounted for as partnership interest-based compensation at the fair value of these expected future payments, in the period the employees accepted the offer. Partnership interest-based compensation expense related to award modifications of $1.6 million and $1.6 million was recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
The liability associated with awards that contain a stated target has been retained by Holdings as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 and is re-measured at each reporting date, with any corresponding changes in liability being reflected as employee compensation and benefits expense of the Company. Certain recipients had unvested stated target payments of $4.7 million and $10.9 million as of March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, which has not been reflected as employee compensation and benefits expense by the Company. The Company recognized partnership interest-based compensation expense of $5.5 million and $3.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, related to profits interest awards that are in substance profit-sharing arrangements.
