File Nos. 333-286563, 811-23962 Dear Mr. Davis:
On April 14, 2025, you filed an initial registration statement on Form N-2 on behalf of
Sardis Credit Opportunities Fund (the “Fund”). Our comments are set forth below. Where a comment is made with regard to disclosure in one location, it is applicable to all similar disclosure appearing elsewhere in the registration statement. We may have additional comments after reviewing your responses to the following comments, or any amendment to the filing. General 1. We note that portions of the filing, including the Fund’s financial statements, are incomplete. A full financial review (e.g., seed financial statements, auditor's report, consent) must be performed prior to declaring the registration statement effective. We may have additional comments on such portions when you complete them in a pre-effective amendment, on disclosures made in response to this letter, on information supplied supplementally, or on exhibits added in any amendments. 2. Please supplementally explain the status of any exemptive relief or no-action request submitted, or expected to be submitted, in connection with the registration statement.

than two periodic intervals after the Fund anticipates effectiveness of the registration statement. See Rule 23c-3(a)(7). Investment Strategy (page 1)
4. On page 2, the disclosure states that “[u]nder normal circumstances, it is anticipated the Fund’s returns will be driven primarily by diversified investments, wherein the primary driver of return comes through the assumption of credit risk.” Clarify what “assumption of credit risk” means. For example, are you saying the primary driver of returns will be through investing in junk bonds? Also, because this sentence addresses the Fund’s “primary driver of return,” consider moving this sentence to a more prominent location within the strategy description. Leverage and Credit Facilities (page 3)
5. The disclosure indicates that the Fund may borrow money through a credit facility or other arrangement to achieve its investment objective. Supplementally advise in further detail the anticipated amount and timing of such leverage. To the extent the Fund intends to obtain such leverage in the first year, ensure the estimated cost is reflected in the fee table. Subsidiaries (page 16)
6. Clarify what types of “certain” investments would be held in the Single-Asset Subsidiary and briefly explain why they will be so held.

x Explain in correspondence whether the financial statements of the Subsidiary will be
consolidated with those of the Fund. If not, please explain why not.
x Confirm in correspondence that the Subsidiary and its board of directors will agree to
inspection by the staff of the Subsidiary’s books and records, which will be maintained in
accordance with Section 31 of the Investment Company Act and the rules thereunder.

Subsidiary and its board of directors will ag ree to designate an agent for service of
