CAZ STRATEGIC OPPORTUNITIES FUND
MANAGER'S COMMENTARY
September 30, 2025 (Unaudited)

On behalf of the Team at CAZ Investments, we are honored to have you investing alongside us in the CAZ Strategic Opportunities Fund (the "Fund"). For those investors new to the Fund, we would like to welcome you as our Partner.

The Fund seeks to provide long-term capital appreciation and current income by allocating capital to a broad cross section of private market assets across multiple strategies, geographies, and asset classes. For the six-month period ending September 30, 2025, Class I shares of the Fund achieved a 5.27% net rate of return. Over the same period, the Fund's performance benchmark, the All Seasons Blended Index, returned 8.10% while the S&P Target Risk Balanced Index returned 13.23%. Over the trailing twelve-month period ending September 30, 2025, Class I shares of the Fund achieved a 14.37% net rate of return, with the All Seasons Blended Index returning 7.53% and the S&P Target Risk Balanced Index returning 11.70%.

The six-month period ending September 30, 2025 was a roller coaster for traditional investors, characterized by market volatility, ongoing geopolitical uncertainty, and shifting economic conditions. Notwithstanding these headwinds, the U.S. economy demonstrated resilience, bolstered by solid consumer spending and, until recently, a stable employment picture. After a nine-month pause, the U.S. Federal Reserve resumed rate cuts in September 2025 with a quarter-point reduction in the Fed Funds rate, citing growing concern of downside risks to employment. The 10-Year U.S. Treasury rate remained range bound between 4.00%-4.50% and long-term interest rates edged higher during the period, reflecting persistent inflation concerns and creating a challenging backdrop for many fixed income investors. The U.S. Government's imposition of tariffs created substantial market disruption in April and May, though agreements with dozens of countries have since been reached, stabilizing markets. The subsequent market rally has driven valuations near or to all-time highs.

Relative to historical averages, traditional asset classes continue to trade near all-time high valuations and were subject to elevated concentration risk, with the top 10 companies now representing more than 38% of broad-based equity indices. Further, diversification across traditional asset classes has continued to provide muted benefits to investors, as traditional asset classes often exhibited higher correlation to the market in times of volatility. Meanwhile, the labor market has shown increasing signs of weakness, with private sector data indicating job losses in September and the ongoing government shutdown blocking official employment data, leaving policymakers and investors navigating through uncertainty. Alternative asset classes and private markets continued to demonstrate the potential to provide outsized benefits to investors via enhanced returns, broader diversification, and lower correlation. For that reason, we continue to structure the portfolio with diversified alternative investments that have the potential to generate consistent returns in a less-correlated manner.

The Fund navigated this period successfully, and we remain focused on seeking to identify attractive investment opportunities across all our core investment Themes: including Growth of Private Assets, the Energy Evolution, Disruptive Technology, and the Shift in Consumer Behavior. The Fund deployed capital across each of these areas during the six-month period ended September 30, 2025, with a particular emphasis on secondary investments, co-investments, and direct investments. For this period of the Fund's operations, the positive performance was largely driven by a combination of Disruptive Technology, GP Stake, and Structured Capital investments.

The portfolio remains balanced across its various strategies, and we believe it is positioned to continue to deliver favorable results as positions in the Fund continue to mature. Additional information regarding the portfolio allocation is detailed in this report, and the most up-to-date information is available via the Fund's website at https://cazstrategicopportunitiesfund.com/.

If you are a new investor in the Fund, you should have received a welcome letter in the mail from Ultimus Fund Solutions, LLC ("Ultimus"), the Fund's administrator, sent to the physical address you provided in subscription documents. This letter includes your Ultimus account number and instructions enabling you to login to the portal where you will be able to access account statements, performance information, and more. If you have not received that letter or are unable to access your account, please reach out to our Team via [email protected].

Additionally, we publish quarterly video updates that include commentary from our Team on performance and portfolio allocations. Those are available via the Fund's website, and we will seek to provide similar videos 45-60 days after each quarter's end. These updates will be in addition to the Fund's semi-annual and annual reports, which you can expect ~60 days following September 30th and March 31st each year, respectively.

As a reminder, you can add to your investment in the Fund every day. Please feel free to reach out to our Team via [email protected] and we will work with you to facilitate the increase in your position.

Lastly, we have a Firm adage: The power of the Network is the Network. As the CAZ Network of investors continues to grow, we receive enhanced access to unique opportunities and can command better economics for everyone involved. The Fund has seen tremendous growth since its launch and now has over 1,700 investors and over $600 million in committed capital. There are investors in your ecosystem that would likely benefit from the CAZ Strategic Opportunities Fund, so please connect us, as their addition should benefit you and all investors.

We look forward to a very productive close to the year and we are very grateful for your partnership. Please let us know if there is anything we can do for you. All our very best!

​(a) The Fund's total returns assume reinvestment of dividends and capital gains, and do not reflect the deduction of taxes a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the repurchase of Fund shares. Fund returns would have been lower if a portion of the fees had not been waived. Total returns for periods less than one full year are not annualized.

​(b) The All Seasons Blended Index is comprised of 40% ICE U.S. Treasury 20+ Year Bond Index, 30% MSCI World Index, 15% ICE BofA 1-10 Year U.S. Treasury & Agency Index, 7.5% Bloomberg Commodity Index and 7.5% SPDR Gold Shares.

​(c) S&P Target Risk Balanced Index is designed to measure the performance of equity allocations, while seeking to provide limited fixed income exposure to diversify risk.

The performance shown represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor's shares when repurchased may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data quoted. To obtain performance data current to the most recent month end, please call (855) 886-2307, or visit www.cazstrategicopportunitiesfund.com. Please read the Fund's Prospectus carefully before investing.

CAZ STRATEGIC OPPORTUNITIES FUND
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2025 (Unaudited)

1. Organization

CAZ Strategic Opportunities Fund (the "Fund") is organized as a Delaware statutory trust that is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as a non-diversified, closed-end management investment company. The Fund operates as a "tender offer fund," which means that it is subject to the requirements of Rule 13e-4 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "1934 Act"), with respect thereto. The Fund's investment objectives are to seek long-term capital appreciation and current income. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing or making capital commitments in a broad cross section of private market assets across multiple strategies, geographies and asset classes. Class I and Class R shares commenced operations on March 1, 2024. Class F shares commenced operations on June 1, 2024. Class E shares commenced operations on December 1, 2024. Class A shares commenced operations on May 1, 2025.

The Fund currently offers six classes of shares: Class D shares and Class R shares are sold without any sales loads and subject to a $2,500 initial investment minimum. Class E shares and Class F shares are sold without any sales loads, but are subject to a $100,000 initial investment minimum. Class I shares are sold without any sales loads, but are subject to a $3,000,000 initial investment minimum. Class A shares are subject to a sales charge of up to 3.00% and a $2,500 initial investment. As of September 30, 2025, Class D has not yet commenced operations.

Consolidation of a Subsidiary - CAZ SOF Opportunistic Blocker LLC (the "Subsidiary"), a Delaware limited liability company and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Fund, was formed on February 25, 2024. These consolidated financial statements include the financial position and the results of operations of the Fund and the Subsidiary. All intercompany balances were eliminated upon consolidation. The Subsidiary has the same investment objective as the Fund. As of September 30, 2025, the net assets of the Subsidiary were $51,362,833, which is 11.20% of the Fund's net assets.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of the Fund's significant accounting policies.

Basis of Presentation and Use of Estimates - The Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services - Investment Companies. The consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"), which requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statement. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents - Idle cash may be swept into various short-term investments, including money market funds or interest bearing overnight demand deposit accounts, in amounts which may exceed insured limits. Amounts swept overnight are available on the next business day.

Valuation of Securities - The Fund calculates the net asset value ("NAV") of each class of shares of the Fund as of the close of business on the last business day of each calendar month, each date that a Share is offered, as of the date of any distribution and at such other times as the Trustees of the Fund (the "Board") shall determine (each, a "Determination Date"). In determining the NAV of each class of shares, the Fund values its investments as of the relevant Determination Date. The net assets of each class of the Fund equals the value of the total assets of the class, less all of the liabilities attributable to the class, including accrued fees and expenses, each determined as of the relevant Determination Date.

The valuation of the Fund's investments is performed in accordance with the Pricing and Fair Valuation Policies ("Valuation Policies") approved by the Board, and in conjunction with FASB's Accounting Standards Codification Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. The Board has designated CAZ Investments Registered Adviser LLC (the "Adviser" or

"Valuation Designee"), the investment adviser to the Fund, as the Valuation Designee pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act to perform the fair value determination relating to any and all Fund investments, subject to the conditions and oversight requirements described in the Valuation Policies.

The Fund's investments are comprised primarily of instruments for which market prices are not readily available, such as hedge funds and private equity investments, including, but not limited to primary and secondary investments in private equity funds managed by third-party managers, co-investment opportunities, and direct private equity investments. Such investments may be valued at acquisition cost initially until the Valuation Designee determines acquisition cost no longer represents fair market value. The fair value of such investments as of each Determination Date ordinarily will be the capital account value of the Fund's interest in such investments as provided by the relevant general partner, managing member or affiliated investment adviser of the private investment vehicles, such as private equity funds and private credit funds, in which the Fund invests (the "Investment Funds") (the "Investment Managers") as of or prior to the relevant Determination Date; provided that such values will be adjusted for any other relevant information available at the time the Fund values its portfolio, including capital activity and material events occurring between the reference dates of the Investment Managers' valuations and the relevant Determination Date.

The Valuation Designee may engage the services of a third-party valuation consultant to provide independent valuations on certain of the Fund's investments, which may include debt and equity securities that are not publicly traded or for which market prices are not readily available. In determining the fair values of these investments, widely recognized market and income valuation methodologies are utilized, which may include, but are not limited to, earnings and multiple analysis and discounted cash flow methodologies. In order to determine a fair value, these methods are applied to the latest information provided by the underlying companies or other business counterparties.

Securities traded on one or more of the U.S. national securities exchanges, the Nasdaq Stock Market or any foreign stock exchange are valued based on their respective market price. Shares of mutual funds, including money market funds, are valued at their reported NAV. Fixed income investments (other than short-term obligations) held by the Fund are normally valued at prices supplied by independent pricing services in accordance with the Valuation Policies. Short-term investments maturing in 60 days or less are generally valued at amortized cost.

Assets and liabilities initially expressed in foreign currencies will be converted into U.S. Dollars using foreign exchange rates provided by a recognized pricing service.

U.S. GAAP establishes a single authoritative definition of fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value and requires additional disclosures about fair value measurement.

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund's investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

• Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical assets

• Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices of similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)

• Level 3 - significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

Private investments that are measured at fair value using the investments' pro rata NAV (or its equivalent) without further adjustment, as a practical expedient of fair value are excluded from the fair value hierarchy. Generally, the fair value of the Fund's investment in a privately offered investment represents the amount that the Fund could reasonably expect to receive from the investment fund if the Fund's investment is withdrawn at the measurement date based on NAV.

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls in its entirety is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The following is a summary of the Fund's investments and inputs used to value the investments, by security type, as of September 30, 2025:

​(d) GP Stakes include investments in the General Partnership ("GP") of a private asset management company. A GP Stake in a private asset manager can potentially provide cash flow and returns from at least three distinct sources: management fees, carried interest, and balance sheet return, in addition to the possible increase in the value of the asset management business.

​(e) A venture capital investment is an equity investment in which the target company is raising capital primarily to fund research and development, market development or revenue growth initiatives. Companies targeted for venture capital investments are typically at an early stage of development and are pursuing large market opportunities through the creation of innovative technologies and/or business models that have the potential to disrupt an established industry or deliver a novel solution for a specific market need.

​(f) Derivatives strategies involve using various derivative instruments such as futures, options, swaps and forward contracts. These financial instruments derive their value from an underlying asset, group of assets or benchmark. Common underlying assets for derivatives are stocks, bonds, commodities, currencies, interest rates, and market indexes. Derivatives may be used to hedge risk, speculate on directional movement of an underlying asset, or leverage a position.

​(g) Secondary investments involve the acquisition of an interest in one or more assets already acquired and held by a private fund or another investor's existing interest in a private investment. The Adviser and/or Investment Managers determine the terms of each secondary investment through a negotiated transaction with the seller in which the private firm then managing such investment does not change.

​(h) A buyout investment is an equity investment in a company that facilitates a change in control of the company's ownership. The private equity firm sponsoring such a transaction invests equity capital to acquire a controlling interest in, or effective control of, the target company. By acquiring a controlling interest, the private equity investor typically acquires a strong position from which to influence the target company's strategic direction.

​(i) Investments in real assets may provide exposure to real estate, commodities, natural resources (such as agriculture and timber), infrastructure, and precious metals.

​(j) Credit investments may include, but are not limited to: (i) asset-backed securities including collateralized loan obligations and mortgage-backed securities, (ii) corporate bonds, notes, commercial paper and debentures, (iii) Securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, its agencies, instrumentalities or sponsored entities, senior secured floating rate and fixed rate loans or debt, and (iv) second lien or other subordinated or unsecured floating rate and fixed rate loans or debt.

​(k) A long/short strategy involves purchasing securities expected to increase in value (long) and selling borrowed securities expected to decline in value (short). This investment strategy can be used to hedge risk, reduce market exposure, or enhance risk-adjusted returns in varying market environments.

​(l) A growth equity investment is an equity investment in a company seeking capital primarily to fund growth initiatives. Growth equity often includes investments in private companies that have seen strong success but may still need additional capital to achieve the desired level of scale.

​(m) Investments in Structured Capital may include, but are not limited to: (i) preferred equity or structured equity securities that may include payment-in-kind dividends, conversion rights, or redemption rights, (ii) subordinated or mezzanine debt instruments, including those with equity-like features such as warrants or detachable options, (iii) convertible debt or hybrid securities that combine characteristics of both debt and equity, and (iv) other negotiated or bespoke capital solutions designed to provide flexible financing with tailored risk-return profiles.

​(n) Investments across various real estate sectors, including multifamily, retail, office, hospitality, data centers, senior living, and industrial. In some cases, the Fund may invest in debt and preferred equity securities or mortgage securities relating to such properties through multiple investment strategies such as core, core plus, value-add or opportunistic.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2025 (Unaudited) (Continued)

Restricted Securities - Restricted securities are securities that may be resold only upon registration under federal securities laws or in transactions exempt from such registration. In some cases, the issuer of restricted securities has agreed to register such securities for resale, at the issuer's expense either upon demand by the Fund or in connection with another registered offering of the securities. Many restricted securities may be resold in the secondary market in transactions exempt from registration. Such restricted securities may be determined to be liquid under criteria established by the Board. The restricted securities may be valued at the price provided by dealers in the secondary market or, if no market prices are available, the fair value as determined in good faith in accordance with the Fund's Valuation Policies. Private Investments generally are restricted securities that are subject to substantial holding periods and are not traded in public markets. The Fund may not be able to resell some of its investments for extended periods, which may be several years.

Foreign Currency Translation - Securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in or expected to settle in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars based on exchange rates on the following basis:

A. The fair values of investment securities and other assets and liabilities are translated as of the close of the NYSE each day.

B. Purchases and sales of investment securities and income and expenses are translated at the rate of exchange prevailing as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the respective date of such transactions.

C. The Fund does not isolate that portion of the results of operations caused by changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from those caused by changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments.

Reported net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from 1) purchases and sales of foreign currencies, 2) currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions and 3) the difference between the amounts of dividends and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund's books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Reported net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities that result from changes in exchange rates.

Share Valuation - The NAV per share of each class of the Fund is calculated as of the close of business on the last business day of each calendar month, each date that a Share is offered, by dividing the total value of the assets attributable to that class, less liabilities attributable to that class, by the number of shares outstanding of that class. The offering price and repurchase price per share of each class of the Fund is equal to the NAV per share of such class, except that a 2.00% early repurchase fee may be charged as discussed in Note 8.

Investment Income and Return of Capital - Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair value of the security received. Interest income is accrued as earned. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been recorded for in accordance with the Fund's understanding of the applicable country's tax rules and rates. Distributions received from investments in securities and private funds that represent a return of capital or capital gains are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments or as a realized gain, respectively.

Investment Transactions - Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on investment securities sold are determined on a specific identification basis.

Distributions to Shareholders - Distributions to shareholders arising from net investment and net realized capital gains, if any, are declared and paid annually to shareholders. The amount of distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP. Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Federal Income Tax - The Fund has qualified and intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company ("RIC") for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and expects each year to qualify as a RIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As such, the Fund is subject to a 4% excise tax that is imposed if the Fund does not distribute by the end of any calendar year at least 98% of its net investment income (earned during the calendar year) and 98.2% of its net realized capital gains (earned during the twelve months ended October 31) plus undistributed amounts from prior years.

The Fund recognizes the tax benefits or expenses of uncertain tax positions only when the position is "more likely than not" to be sustained assuming examination by tax authorities. Management has reviewed the Fund's tax positions and concluded that no provision for unrecognized tax benefits or expenses should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions taken in the Fund's current tax year and all open tax years. The statute of limitations on the Fund's U.S. federal tax returns generally remains open for a period of three years after they are filed. The statutes of limitations on the Fund's state and local tax returns may remain open for an additional year depending upon the jurisdiction.

The Fund's policy is to classify interest and penalties associated with underpayment of federal and state income taxes as an income tax expense on the Consolidated Statement of Operations. For the six months ended September 30, 2025, the Fund did not have interest or penalties associated with underpayment of income taxes.

The Fund has selected a tax year end of September 30. The following information is computed on a tax basis for each item as of September 30, 2025:

There were no distributions for the tax year ended September 30, 2025.

The difference between the federal income tax cost of portfolio investments and the financial statement cost of portfolio investments is due to certain timing differences in the recognition of capital gains or losses under income tax regulations and U.S. GAAP. These "book/tax" differences are temporary in nature and are primarily due to the Subsidiary treatment as a C Corporation for federal and state income tax purposes.

Domestic Blocker Income Tax - The Subsidiary is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Fund and is a domestic limited liability company that has elected to be treated as a C Corporation for federal income tax purposes and as such is obligated to pay federal and state income tax on its taxable income. State tax returns are filed in various states in which an economic presence exists. Income taxes are charged based on apportioned income for each state. Currently, the federal income tax rate is 21%. The Fund is currently using an estimated tax rate of 5.86% for state and local tax, net of federal tax benefit.

The Subsidiary will rely to some extent on information, which is not necessarily timely, to estimate the deferred tax liability for purposes of financial statement reporting and determining the Fund's NAV. From time to time, the Adviser may modify the estimates or assumptions related to the Subsidiary's deferred tax liability as new information becomes available. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and the rates on the date of enactment. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using effective tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years such temporary differences are realized or otherwise settled.

Segment Reporting - The Fund has adopted FASB Accounting Standards Update 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280) - Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures ("ASU 2023-07"). Adoption of the standard impacted financial statement disclosures only and did not affect the Fund's financial position or the results of its operations. An operating segment is defined in Topic 280 as a component of a public entity that engages in business activities from which it may recognize revenues and incur expenses, has operating results that are regularly reviewed by the public entity's chief operating decision maker ("CODM") to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance, and has discrete financial information available. The CODM is the President of the Fund. The Fund operates as a single operating segment. The Fund's income, expenses, assets, changes in net assets resulting from operations and performance are regularly monitored and assessed as a whole by the CODM responsible for oversight functions of the Fund, using the information presented in the financial statements and financial highlights.

4. Investment Management and Other Agreements

Under the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement between the Fund and the Adviser (the "Investment Advisory Agreement"), the Adviser manages the Fund's investments subject to oversight by the Board. The Fund pays the Adviser a Management Fee, which is paid monthly in arrears at an annual rate of 1.25% of the average net assets of the Fund, including assets purchased with the borrowed funds or other forms of leverage, at the end of the two most recently completed months.

Pursuant to an Expense Support Agreement (the "Expense Support Agreement"), the Adviser has contractually agreed to waive fees or reimburse expenses to limit total annual fund operating expenses (excluding management fees paid under the Investment Advisory Agreement, Rule 12b-1 distribution and service fees, taxes, acquired fund fees and expenses, interest expenses, and certain extraordinary expenses) to no more than 1.00%, on an annualized basis, of the Fund's month-end net assets (the "Expense Cap"). This contractual arrangement will remain in effect until at least January 9, 2027 unless the Board approves an earlier termination. Pursuant to the Expense Support Agreement, no fees were waived or reimbursed by the Adviser during the six months ended September 30, 2025.

If the Adviser waives its Management Fee or pays any operating expenses of the Fund pursuant to the Expense Support Agreement, the Adviser may, for a period ending three years from the date of the relevant waiver or payment, recoup amounts waived or incurred, except for amounts waived or reimbursed pursuant to the Class E expense reimbursement and Class F expense reimbursement, to the extent that the Adviser may only recoup the waived fees, reimbursed expenses or directly paid expenses if (i) the waived fees, reimbursed expenses or directly paid expenses have fallen to a level below the Expense Cap and (ii) the reimbursement amount does not raise the level of waived fees, reimbursed expenses or directly paid expenses in the month the reimbursement is being made to a level that exceeds the Expense Cap applicable at that time. For the six months ended September 30, 2025, the Adviser recouped $475,814 of past Management Fee reductions. As of September 30, 2025, the Adviser may seek repayment of investment management fees and expense reimbursements no later than the dates below:

5. Risk Factors

Risk is inherent in all investing. The value of your investment in the Fund, as well as the amount of return you receive on your investment, may fluctuate significantly from day to day and over time. The following list is not intended to be a comprehensive listing of all the potential risks associated with the Fund. The Fund's prospectus provides further details regarding the Fund's risks and considerations.

Market Risk - Market risk is the risk that one or more markets in which the Fund invests will go down in value, including the possibility that the markets will go down sharply and unpredictably. Securities of a company may decline in value due to its financial prospects and activities, including certain operational impacts, such as data breaches and cybersecurity attacks. Securities may also decline in value due to general market and economic movements and trends, including adverse changes to credit markets, or as a result of other events such as geopolitical events, natural disasters, or widespread pandemics (such as COVID-19) or other adverse public health developments.

Private Equity Investment Risk - The Fund's investment portfolio will consist of Investment Funds that hold securities issued primarily by privately held companies, and operating results for the portfolio companies in a specified period will be difficult to predict. Such investments involve a high degree of business and financial risk, including those relating to the current global pandemic, that can result in substantial losses.

Valuation of Private Investments Risk - The Fund's ownership interests in private investments are not publicly traded, and the Fund will use a third-party pricing service or internal pricing methodologies to provide pricing information for certain private investments. The value of investments that are not publicly traded may not be readily determinable, and the Valuation Designee will value these investments at fair value as determined in good faith pursuant to the Valuation Policies, including to reflect significant events affecting the value of the Fund's investments.

Infrastructure Sector Risk - The Fund will invest, directly or indirectly, in infrastructure. Infrastructure asset investments ("Infrastructure Assets") may be subject to a variety of risks, not all of which can be foreseen or quantified, including: (i) the burdens of ownership of infrastructure: (ii) local, national and international political and economic conditions; (iii) the supply and demand for services from and access to infrastructure; (iv) the financial condition of users and suppliers of Infrastructure Assets; (v) changes in interest rates and the availability of funds which may render the purchase, sale or refinancing of

42

CAZ Strategic Opportunities Fund

CAZ STRATEGIC OPPORTUNITIES FUND
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2025 (Unaudited) (Continued)

Infrastructure Assets difficult or impracticable; (vi) changes in regulations, planning laws and other governmental rules; (vii) changes in fiscal and monetary policies; (viii) under-insured or uninsurable losses, such as force majeure acts and terrorist events; (ix) reduced investment in public and private infrastructure projects; and (x) other factors which are beyond the reasonable control of the Fund. Many of the foregoing factors could cause fluctuations in usage, expenses and revenues, causing the value of investments to decline and a material adverse effect on the Fund's performance.

Real Estate Related Securities Risk - In addition to general market risk, the main risk of investing in real estate related securities, including public and private real estate investment trusts (REITs) and private real estate investment funds, is that the value of the underlying real estate may go down due to, among other factors, possible declines in the value of real estate; risks related to general and local economic conditions; possible lack of availability of mortgage financing, variations in rental income, neighborhood values or the appeal of property to tenants; interest rates; overbuilding; extended vacancies of properties; increases in competition, property taxes and operating expenses; and changes in zoning laws. The real estate industry is particularly sensitive to economic downturns. The values of securities of companies in the real estate industry may go through cycles of relative under-performance and out-performance in comparison to equity securities markets in general.

Real Assets Investments Risk - The Fund may invest a portion of its assets in securities and credit instruments associated with real assets, which have historically experienced substantial price volatility. The value of companies engaged in these industries is affected by (i) changes in general economic and market conditions; (ii) changes in environmental, governmental and other regulations; (iii) risks related to local economic conditions, overbuilding and increased competition; (iv) increases in property taxes and operating expenses; (v) changes in zoning laws; (vi) casualty and condemnation losses; (vii) surplus capacity and depletion concerns; (viii) the availability of financing; and (ix) changes in interest rates and leverage. In addition, the availability of attractive financing and refinancing typically plays a critical role in the success of these investments. The value of securities in these industries may go through cycles of relative under-performance and over-performance in comparison to equity securities markets in general.

Venture Capital and Growth Equity Risk - The Fund may invest in venture capital and growth equity. Venture capital is usually classified by investments in private companies that have a limited operating history, are attempting to develop or commercialize unproven technologies or implement novel business plans or are not otherwise developed sufficiently to be self-sustaining financially or to become public. Although these investments may offer the opportunity for significant gains, such investments involve a high degree of business and financial risk that can result in substantial losses. Growth equity is usually classified by investments in private companies that have achieved product-market fit but may still need capital to achieve the desired level of scale before having access to the public markets for financing. As a result of the risks associated with advancing the company's growth plan, investors can expect a higher return than might be available in the public markets, but also need to recognize the business and financial risks that remain in advancing the company's commercial aspirations. For both venture capital and growth equity companies, the risks are generally greater than the risks of investing in public companies that may be at a later stage of development.

Investments in Small or Middle-Market Portfolio Companies Risk - The Fund's investments may consist of equity investments and loans to small and/or less well-established privately held companies. While smaller private companies may have potential for rapid growth, investments in private companies pose significantly greater risks than investments in public companies.

First Lien Senior Secured Loans, Second Lien Senior Secured Loans and Unitranche Debt - When the Fund invests, directly or indirectly, in first lien senior secured loans, second lien senior secured loans, and unitranche debt of portfolio companies, the Fund will generally seek to take a security interest in the available assets of those portfolio companies, including the equity interests of the portfolio companies' subsidiaries. There is a risk that the collateral securing these loans

Semi-Annual Report Dated September 30, 2025

43

CAZ STRATEGIC OPPORTUNITIES FUND
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2025 (Unaudited) (Continued)

may decrease in value over time or lose its entire value, may be difficult to sell in a timely manner, may be difficult to appraise and may fluctuate in value based upon the success of the business and market conditions, including as a result of the inability of the portfolio company to raise additional capital. To the extent a debt investment is collateralized by the securities of a portfolio company's subsidiaries, such securities may lose some or all of their value in the event of the bankruptcy or insolvency of the portfolio company. Also, in some circumstances, the Fund's lien may be contractually or structurally subordinated to claims of other creditors. In addition, deterioration in a portfolio company's financial condition and prospects, including its inability to raise additional capital, may be accompanied by deterioration in the value of the collateral for the loan. Loans that are under- collateralized involve a greater risk of loss. Consequently, the fact that a loan is secured does not guarantee that we will receive principal and interest payments according to the loan's terms, or at all, or that we will be able to collect on the loan should the remedies be enforced. Finally, particularly with respect to a unitranche debt structure, unitranche debt will generally have higher leverage levels than a standard first lien term loan.

Mezzanine Investments Risk - The Fund may, directly or indirectly, invest in mezzanine loans. Structurally, mezzanine loans usually rank subordinate in priority of payment to senior debt, such as senior bank debt, and are often unsecured. However, mezzanine loans rank senior to common and preferred equity in a borrower's capital structure. Mezzanine debt is often used in leveraged buyout and real estate finance transactions. Typically, mezzanine loans have elements of both debt and equity instruments, offering the fixed returns in the form of interest payments associated with senior debt, while providing lenders an opportunity to participate in the capital appreciation of a borrower, if any, through an equity interest. This equity interest typically takes the form of warrants. Due to their higher risk profile and often less restrictive covenants as compared to senior loans, mezzanine loans generally earn a higher return than senior secured loans. The warrants associated with mezzanine loans are typically detachable, which allows lenders to receive repayment of their principal on an agreed amortization schedule while retaining their equity interest in the borrower. Mezzanine loans also may include a "put" feature, which permits the holder to sell its equity interest back to the borrower at a price determined through an agreed-upon formula. Mezzanine investments may be issued with or without registration rights. Similar to other high yield securities, maturities of mezzanine investments are typically seven to ten years, but the expected average life is significantly shorter at three to six years. Mezzanine investments are usually unsecured and subordinate to other debt obligations of an issuer.

Foreign Investments Risk - Investments in foreign securities may be riskier, more volatile, and less liquid than investments in U.S. securities. Differences between the U.S. and foreign regulatory regimes and securities markets, including the less stringent investor protection, less stringent accounting, corporate governance, financial reporting and disclosure standards of some foreign markets, as well as political and economic developments in foreign countries and regions and the U.S. (including the imposition of sanctions, tariffs, or other governmental restrictions), may affect the value of the Fund's investments in foreign securities. Changes in currency exchange rates may also adversely affect the Fund's foreign investments.

Leverage Risk - Certain transactions may give rise to leverage. Leverage can increase market exposure, magnify investment risks, and cause losses to be realized more quickly. Leverage may also cause the Fund to be more volatile than if it had not been leveraged. The use of leverage may cause the Fund to liquidate portfolio positions to satisfy its obligations or to meet margin or collateral requirements when it may not be advantageous to do so.

Illiquid and Restricted Securities Risk - The Fund may invest without limit in illiquid securities, except for certain liquid asset holding requirements under Rule 23c-3(b)(10) under the 1940 Act relating to Repurchase Offers. The Fund may also invest in restricted securities. Investments in restricted securities could have the effect of increasing the amount of the Fund's assets invested in illiquid securities, including but not limited to if qualified institutional buyers are unwilling to purchase these securities.

44

CAZ Strategic Opportunities Fund

CAZ STRATEGIC OPPORTUNITIES FUND
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2025 (Unaudited) (Continued)

Liquidity Risk - The risk that the market for a particular investment or type of investment is or becomes relatively illiquid, making it difficult for the Fund to sell that investment at an advantageous time or price. Illiquidity may be due to events relating to the issuer of the securities, market events, rising interest rates, economic conditions or investor perceptions. Illiquid securities may be difficult to value and their value may be lower than the market price of comparable liquid securities, which would negatively affect the Fund's performance.

Active Investment Management Risk - The risk that, if the Adviser's investment strategy does not perform as expected, the Fund could underperform its peers or lose money. The Fund's performance depends upon the performance of the portfolio managers and selected strategies, the adherence by such Investment Managers to such selected strategies, the instruments used by such Investment Managers and the Adviser's ability to select Investment Managers and strategies and effectively allocate Fund assets among them. The Fund is organized to provide shareholders with a multi-strategy investment program and not as an indirect way to gain access to any particular Investment Funds. There is no guarantee that the Fund's investment objective will be achieved.

Termination of the Fund's Interest in an Investment Fund - An Investment Fund may, among other things, terminate the Fund's interest in that Investment Fund (causing a forfeiture of all or a portion of such interest) if the Fund fails to satisfy any capital call by that Investment Fund or if the continued participation of the Fund in the Investment Fund would have a material adverse effect on the Investment Fund or its assets. The Fund's over-commitment strategy may increase the risk that the Fund is unable to satisfy a capital call from an Investment Fund.

6. Revolving Credit Facility

On September 30, 2025, the Fund and the Subsidiary entered into a credit agreement with EverBank, N.A and other lenders from time to time party thereto (the "Credit Agreement") which is effective until September 29, 2028. The maximum aggregate commitment amount of the borrowing under the Credit Agreement is $100,000,000. The interest rate on borrowings from the Credit Agreement is generally up to 3.35% above the 1-month Term SOFR (Secured Overnight Financing Rate). During the period ended September 30, 2025, there were no borrowings and $6,487 in unused borrowing fees, upfront fees and legal fees related to the Credit Agreement were incurred.

7. Contingencies and Commitments

The Fund indemnifies the Fund's officers and the Board for certain liabilities that might arise from their performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties and which provide general indemnifications. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Fund expects the risk of loss to be remote.

The Fund is required to provide financial support in the form of investment commitments to certain investees as part of the conditions for entering into such investments. As of September 30, 2025, the Fund had unfunded commitments in the amount of $380,012,218. Additionally, certain investees may call capital in excess of commitments to pay for expenses incurred as part of ongoing operations. At September 30, 2025, the Fund reasonably believes its assets will provide adequate cover to satisfy all its unfunded commitments.

8. Capital Stock

The Fund is a closed-end tender offer fund and, to provide liquidity to shareholders, may from time to time offer to repurchase shares in accordance with written tenders by shareholders at those times, in those amounts and on such terms and conditions as the Board may determine in its sole discretion. In determining whether the Fund should offer to repurchase shares from shareholders, the Board will consider the recommendation of the Adviser. The Adviser currently expects to recommend to the Board that the Fund offer to repurchase up to 5% of the Fund's outstanding shares at the applicable NAV per share on a quarterly basis. However, the Fund is not required to conduct repurchase offers and may be less likely to do so during the first few years following the commencement of Fund operations and during periods of exceptional market conditions. Shares of the Fund will be offered for purchase only through the Distributor, or a Selling Agent, as of the first business day of each month. Capital transactions are recorded on their effective date.

During the six months ended September 30, 2025, proceeds from early repurchase fees charged by Class A Shares, Class E Shares, Class F Shares, Class I Shares and Class R Shares totaled $0, $0, $0, $0 and $2,391, respectively.

The Fund also revised the investment minimums for certain classes of its shares. Investors should review the full Prospectus filed on October 31, 2025 in order to obtain a complete understanding of all updates made to the Fund.

Semi-Annual Report Dated September 30, 2025

CAZ STRATEGIC OPPORTUNITIES FUND
APPROVAL OF CONTINUANCE OF
INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT
AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENT

Investment Advisory Agreement

At a meeting held on May 20, 2025, the Board of Trustees (the "Board") of the CAZ Strategic Opportunities Fund (the "Fund"), including all of the independent Trustees (voting separately), unanimously voted to approve the continuation and renewal of the existing investment advisory agreement (the "Investment Advisory Agreement") by and between the Fund and CAZ Investments Registered Adviser LLC (the "Adviser") for an additional one-year period.

In reaching a decision to approve the continuation and renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board, assisted by the advice of Fund counsel, requested and received a significant amount of information and considered all the factors the Board believed relevant, including, among other things, the following: (1) the nature, extent and quality of services performed by the Adviser, including the investment performance of the Fund, non-traded registered closed-end funds managed by third-party investment advisers that are comparable to the Fund (the "Peer Funds"), a fund managed by the Adviser's affiliate that is comparable to the Fund in terms of investment objective, investment policies, eligible portfolio investments and certain other characteristics (the "Comparable Fund"), and certain indices of securities that are representative of the performance of securities in which the Fund invests (the "Indices"); (2) information regarding the fees and other expenses paid by the Fund, including the cost of services provided by the Adviser and its affiliate, FSG Operating LLC ("FGS Operating"); (3) comparative information on fees and expenses borne by the Peer Funds; (4) the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Fund grows and whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of the Fund's investors; and (5) various other factors.

The Board's decision to renew the Investment Advisory Agreement was not based on any single factor, but rather was based on a comprehensive consideration of the information provided to the Board at its meetings throughout the year. The Board did not assign relative weights to the factors considered by it as the Board conducted an overall analysis of these factors. Individual members of the Board may have given different weights to different factors.

The Board requested, considered and evaluated information regarding the following factors, among others:

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services and Performance

The Board reviewed and considered the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Adviser under the Investment Advisory Agreement and by its affiliate, FSG Operating, under a separate services agreement and the services provided to the Fund by third-party service providers. Among other things, the Board reviewed the most recent Form ADV for the Adviser and information about the qualifications, background and experience of the key personnel of the Adviser that are primarily responsible for the day-to-day portfolio management of the Fund.

The Board considered the special attributes of the Fund as a closed-end fund that has elected to operate as a tender offer fund and the benefits that are expected to be realized from an investment in the Fund. The Board also considered the resources devoted by the Adviser and its affiliates in developing and maintaining the processes and infrastructure necessary to support the ongoing operations of the Fund, including the subscription and tender offer processes.

The Board also evaluated the ability of the Adviser to attract and retain high-caliber personnel. In this regard, the Board considered information regarding the Adviser's and its affiliates' compensation program, which is designed to provide both annual and long-term incentives for its personnel, aligning the personnel interests with the interests of the Adviser and the Fund and its shareholders.

In addition, the Board reviewed information about the Adviser's investment process, financial stability, investment and risk management programs and legal and compliance programs, and the Fund's anticipated use of leverage and the effects it may have on the Fund's portfolio and performance. The Board also considered that the Adviser oversees the Fund's

48

CAZ Strategic Opportunities Fund

CAZ STRATEGIC OPPORTUNITIES FUND
APPROVAL OF CONTINUANCE OF
INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT
AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENT (Continued)

compliance with its investment objective and policies as well as with applicable laws and regulations, including the Fund's periodic tender offer process and its compliance with the exemptive order from the SEC that permits the Fund to co-invest in certain negotiated investments with other funds or accounts managed by the Adviser or its affiliates.

The Board reviewed and considered the Fund's performance results during the period from March 1, 2024 through December 31, 2024 and considered such performance in light of the Fund's investment objective, strategies and risks.

The Board also considered and discussed at length these results in comparison to the performance results for various relevant periods of (1) the Peer Funds; (2) the Comparable Fund; and (3) the Indices. The Board considered that the Fund launched in 2024 and had limited historical performance to review. The Board also discussed and considered the Fund's performance in light of recent and current market conditions. The Board also considered the methodology used to select the Peer Funds.

Based on the above factors, together with those referenced below, the Board concluded that it was generally satisfied with, and the Fund should continue to benefit from, the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Fund by the Adviser.

Fees and Expenses of the Fund

The Board then reviewed and considered the advisory fee rate payable by the Fund to the Adviser under the Investment Advisory Agreement and the total expense ratios of the Fund. Additionally, the Board received and considered information comparing the advisory fee rates and total expense ratio of the Fund with those of the Peer Funds and the Comparable Funds.

The Board noted that the Fund's contractual management fee rate was below the median of the Peer Funds and its net expense ratio was higher than the median of the Peer Funds. Among other things, the Board considered the differences between the investment strategy of the Fund and the strategy of each of the Peer Funds. The Board also considered that the Fund's contractual management fee rate was higher than the Comparable Fund's rate because the Comparable Fund imposes an incentive fee.

The Board also considered the Adviser had contractually agreed to waive fees or reimburse expenses to limit total annual Fund operating expenses (excluding management fees, Rule 12b-1 distribution and service fees, taxes, interest expenses, acquired fund fees and expenses, and certain extraordinary expenses) to no more than 1.00%, on an annualized basis, of the Fund's month-end net assets. In addition, the Board considered the expense reimbursement arrangements for Class E and Class F Shares.

Based on its review, the Board concluded that each of the Fund's management fee rate and total expense ratio is fair and reasonable in light of the services provided to the Fund and other factors considered.

Profitability

The Board next considered the Adviser's costs to provide investment management and related services to the Fund and the current and estimated profitability to the Adviser from the investment management and related services provided to the Fund. In evaluating the Adviser's estimated profitability with respect to the Fund, the Board also considered the Adviser's assumptions used in calculating its estimated profitability.

Economies of Scale

The Board considered the potential growth of the Fund and information regarding whether the Investment Advisory Agreement adequately addresses economies of scale with respect to providing advisory services to the Fund. The Board considered that, given the bespoke nature of investments in the private markets in which the Fund invests, it is not expected

Semi-Annual Report Dated September 30, 2025

49

CAZ STRATEGIC OPPORTUNITIES FUND
APPROVAL OF CONTINUANCE OF
INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT
AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENT (Continued)

that significant economies of scale will be achieved that reduce the labor per invested dollar in a material manner. Based on the foregoing, the Board concluded that the opportunity of the Fund to realize significant economies of scale is limited and that the lack of breakpoints in the fee structure was appropriate given the Fund's investment objectives and strategies.

Other Benefits and Other Factors

The Board considered other benefits to the Adviser and its affiliates that are derived from their relationship with the Fund. The Board also considered that the Fund pays a fee to FSG Operating and also reimburses FSG Operating for certain out-of-pocket expenses for its provision of certain accounting, consulting, compliance, operational and administrative services to the Fund.

Based on the information reviewed and the discussions detailed above, the Board reached a determination, through the exercise of its business judgment, that the compensation payable to the Adviser pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement was fair and reasonable in light of the services provided to the Fund by the Adviser and other factors considered.
