3.
Footnote 6 to the Fees and Expenses appears to have been drafted as a footnote to the expense example. Please revise and
update as appropriate.

Response: The Company will correct
the language of footnote 6 in its amendment to its Registration Statement.

4.
Please revise the references to “pro forma” as appropriate in footnote 10 to the Fees and Expenses table.

Response: The Company will revise
its disclosure accordingly in its amendment to the Registration Statement.

5.
In the Portfolio Company table included on page 110 of the Registration Statement, please include the disclosure required
by Item 8.6(a)(3) of Form N-2 to include the percentage of class of the securities of the portfolio companies held by the Company.

Response: The Company will revise
its disclosure accordingly in its amendment to the Registration Statement.

6.
Please include in the Registration Statement the disclosure contained in the Form 10-Q regarding the potential effects of
the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s CLO investments.

Response: The Company will revise
its disclosure accordingly in its amendment to the Registration Statement.

Legal Comments

7.
Please include additional disclosure regarding the COVID-19 pandemic and the effects of the pandemic on the
Company’s operations and financial condition.

Response: The Company will revise
its disclosure accordingly in its amendment to the Registration Statement.

8.
 Please explain the reasons for the increases in the fees and expenses as reflected in the registration statement.

Response:
The increases in the fees and expenses as reflected in the registration statement are primarily attributable to increased leverage.
In the Company’s Form N-2 that was declared effective on September 26, 2019, the Company assumed borrowings on 25%
of the net asset value. The current amendment assumes borrowings of 42% of projected net assets. This increase resulted in increases
in both interest expense as well as increases in the management fee as a percentage of net assets. The Company has also increased
its investments in CLOs, resulting in increases acquired fund fees. Finally, the “other expenses” as reflected in the
fees and expenses table were previously based on estimates but are now based on the Company’s actual run rates which were
slightly higher than were previously anticipated.

14.
For future filings, please include additional disclosure regarding the impact of fee income so that shareholders may assess
the nature of the fee income and whether it is recurring or non-recurring income. Refer to the issue discussed at the September
16, 2014 AICPA Expert Panel Meeting, which states:

“The SEC staff discussed it may be important
for BDC shareholders to understand the amount of income generated by BDCs that is non-recurring. The SEC staff noted that BDCs
may receive certain non-recurring fees from their borrowers, including up-front fees (e.g., financing fees or structuring fees)
and back-end fees (e.g., prepayment fees or unamortized original issue discount (OID)). However, BDCs generally have not disclosed
the impact of these non-recurring fees on earnings and/or yield (e.g., in either the financial statements or in Management’s
Discussion and Analysis). The SEC staff believes disclosure of the impact of non-recurring fees on earnings and/or yield could
be important to the users of financial statements to help investors analyze the BDC’s potential future cash flows and dividend
sustainability.”

Response: The Company will add additional disclosure
for future filings.

15.
In the MD&A under the heading Asset Coverage please discuss why the discussion of senior securities was not updated
to June 30, 2019 when the Company did have senior securities outstanding as of that date.

Response: This was an error and the
appropriate information was included in footnote 12 of the financial statements. The Company will include this disclosure in its
future filings.

16.
The Report of the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm on page 82 of the Form 10-K references, in the first paragraph,
“the changes in its net and its cash flows…” Please confirm whether this language is correct or if it contains
a typographical error.

Response:
The Company notes this is a typographical error.

17.
In the Schedule of Investments included in the Form 10-K, please identify any securities included that are restricted securities
as required by footnote 8 of Rule 12-12 of Regulation S-X.

Response: The Company will include
this disclosure in its future filings.

18.
In Note 11 to the financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2019, please include disclosure of the average dollar

19.
Please include disclosure consistent with FASB ASC 825-10-50 that requires that if the fair value option is not elected

Response: The Company will include this disclosure
in its future filings.

20.
Please discuss the reasons for the omission of the introductory language in item 4(c) in the certifications of the Company’s
Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer included as Exhibits to the Form 10-K.

Response: The introductory language
was omitted due to an error. The Company filed a Form 10-K/A on June 19, 2020 that contained the correct certifications.

21.
Please discuss why the supplementary financial information required by Item 302 of Regulation S-K was omitted from the Form
10-K.

Response:  The Company notes that
such information was not included because it could be confusing to readers due to the Merger and the periods not being comparable
as a result of PWAY being the accounting survivor in the Merger. The Company will include this disclosure in its future filings.
