Worley Matthew Eugene Buy
28,463 shares
$300,000
@ $10.54
Significance 5/10

Director Worley Matthew Eugene bought 28,462 shares of CCLFX at $10.54 for $300,000.00, establishing an initial position

Director Worley Matthew Eugene purchased 28,462 shares of Cliffwater Corporate Lending Fund at $10.54, representing a total investment of $300,000.00 and establishing his first recorded holding in the fund. The transaction reflects a meaningful capital commitment to a fixed-income focused vehicle, though context on the fund's recent performance, asset quality, or any prior relationship to the director is absent. This is his third open-market transaction across all tickers in his track record, extending a pattern of selective buying activity. The significance is moderate absent additional context on his board tenure, prior compensation structure, or the fund's operational developments.

Significance 5/10

President Nesbitt Stephen Lane purchases 28,680 shares of CCLFX at $10.46 for $300,000 on 2026-01-09

Nesbitt Stephen Lane, serving as President/Interested Trustee of Cliffwater Corporate Lending Fund, executed a purchase of 28,680 shares at $10.46 for a total value of $300,000.00. This transaction increased his holdings from 11,152,140 shares to 11,180,821 shares, representing a net increase of 0.3% against his pre-transaction position. The insider has demonstrated a consistent pattern of accumulation at this ticker, with 5 prior trades at CCLFX, including three additional buys within the prior two months (2025-12-11, 2025-11-25, and 2025-07-10), indicating sustained interest in the position. However, because these recent purchases lack measurable 90-day performance outcomes due to their recency, the pattern reflects intent rather than demonstrated timing accuracy.

President/Interested Trustee
1,433,715 shares
$15,266,630
@ $10.65
Significance 6/10

President Lane purchases 1,433,714 shares in 2 transactions totaling $15,266,629.62 at blended average $10.65

Nesbitt Stephen Lane, President and Interested Trustee, executed 2 separate purchases totaling 1,433,714 shares for $15,266,629.62 ($15.3M), increasing his holdings by 1,433,714 shares or 14.8% versus pre-transaction holdings of 9,718,425 shares. The purchases occurred at $10.63 on 2025-11-25 (777,669 shares) and $10.67 on 2025-12-11 (656,044 shares), with a blended average price of $10.65. This represents a material financial commitment from a senior officer at Cliffwater Corporate Lending Fund (CCLFX). His cross-ticker track record shows 7 prior open-market buys, though prior same-ticker trades at CCLFX (three buys in 2024–2025) lack measurable 90-day outcomes, providing limited context for evaluating timing accuracy at this specific fund. The magnitude of this purchase relative to his existing position warrants examination of the fund's fundamental backdrop and capital structure.

@ $10.58
Significance 4/10

President/Interested Trustee buys 330,812 shares of CCLFX for $3,500,000 at $10.58; adds 3.5% to holdings.

Nesbitt Stephen Lane purchased 330,812 shares of Cliffwater Corporate Lending Fund at $10.58 per share, bringing his total holdings from 9,387,613 shares to 9,718,425 shares. The transaction represents a $3,500,000.00 commitment. This is the third open-market purchase of CCLFX by this insider within approximately one year; prior buys occurred on 2025-05-07 and 2024-09-13, though outcomes on those trades are not yet measurable at 90-day intervals. Across his broader transaction history, Lane has completed 6 prior open-market purchases on other tickers, but his prior same-ticker trades at CCLFX do not yet demonstrate a pattern of well-timed entry.

Significance 6/10

President Lane purchases 2,000,046 shares of CCLFX at $10.65 for $21,300,500.00, increasing holdings 27.1%

Nesbitt Stephen Lane, President/Interested Trustee, executed a substantial open-market purchase of 2,000,046 shares at $10.65, increasing his total holdings from 7,387,566 shares to 9,387,613 shares—a 27.1% net increase in his position. This represents a significant capital commitment of $21,300,500.00 by an executive in a position of strategic authority. Lane has completed 3 prior open-market buys in his track record across all tickers, and this follows a prior purchase at CCLFX on 2024-09-13 where outcome measurement at the 90-day mark is not yet available. The transaction size and concentration in a single company signal material confidence in the fund, though the lack of prior measurable timing data at this specific ticker limits historical pattern assessment.

Garcia Dominic Jerome Buy

$300,000
@ $10.79
Significance 5/10

Director Dominic Jerome Garcia purchases 27,803 shares of CCLFX at $10.79 for $300,000.00

Garcia Dominic Jerome, a Director, established an initial position by purchasing 27,803 shares at $10.79 on 2024-11-20 for a total value of $300,000.00. This represents the director's first open-market buy of CCLFX following a track record of 1 prior buy across all tickers. The purchase constitutes a meaningful capital commitment to the fund in an initial transaction, moving from zero to 27,803 shares in a single acquisition. Without additional context on the fund's recent performance, insider sentiment, or comparable transactions, this represents a straightforward director equity acquisition into a closed-end corporate lending fund.

Significance 5/10

Nesbitt Stephen Lane purchases 459,136 shares of CCLFX at $10.89 for $5,000,000

Nesbitt Stephen Lane, President and Interested Trustee of Cliffwater Corporate Lending Fund, purchased 459,136 shares at $10.89 on 2024-09-13 totaling $5,000,000, bringing his holdings to 7,387,566 shares (a 6.6% increase). This represents his second open-market transaction across all tickers in his tracked history. The substantial dollar commitment of $5,000,000 to a single purchase reflects material capital deployment by an insider with fiduciary responsibilities at the fund, though the absence of prior same-ticker transaction history limits the ability to assess any established pattern of accumulation activity at this specific security.

Significance 6/10

Director Williams Paul Jay buys 17,740 shares for $190,000.01 at CCLFX; holdings rise 12.3% to 161,390 shares.

Director Williams Paul Jay completed 2 separate purchases totaling 17,740 shares for $190,000.01 at a blended average price of $10.71 on 2024-07-19. This transaction increased his holdings from 143,650 shares to 161,390 shares, representing a net addition of 12.3% to his pre-transaction position. The purchase demonstrates continued participation in the fund's equity, consistent with his track record of 6 prior open-market buys. The material size of this accumulation—nearly $190K deployed in a single filing date—reflects a notable commitment of capital by a board member at the fund.

Corebridge Financial, Inc. Buy
24,267,400 shares
Significance 2/10

Corebridge Financial acquired 24,267,400 shares at $0.00 across 5 separate transactions on 2024-07-15.

Corebridge Financial executed 5 separate purchases totaling 24,267,400 shares on 2024-07-15 at $0.00 per share. The zero transaction price is highly unusual and suggests these were non-cash acquisitions, potentially a corporate restructuring, spin-off distribution, or acquisition settlement rather than an open-market purchase. While the volume is substantial, the $0.00 price point and routine nature of prior activity (5 prior buys cross-ticker) indicate this is a mechanical/structural event rather than a discretionary market signal. Investors should verify the underlying corporate action to understand the economic substance.
