About the rating
In brief

Cerberus SFR IDF Partners at a glance

The fund relies on Section 3(c)(7) of the Investment Company Act and Rule 506(b), so its interests go only to qualified purchasers in a private offering. The adviser reports one beneficial owner and none outside the United States. As an insurance-dedicated fund it is held through insurance company separate accounts, alongside the few other holders the Treasury rules allow, and a family reaches it through a policy whose insurer offers it.

It is a series of SALI Multi-Series Fund, L.P., a platform run by SALI Fund Management, LLC (SALI Fund Services), whose Form ADV of 25 August 2026 reports the series' controls; Cerberus Capital Management, L.P. manages the investments.

The filing reports an annual audit by PricewaterhouseCoopers and that 100% of the assets were valued last year by a person not related to the adviser.

Cerberus Capital Management, L.P. reports 0 matters in Item 11 of its Form ADV, all concerning the adviser itself. The filing also reports 1 matter concerning an individual, which is weighed in the rating but not published. The full record is set out below.

The rating

Why Cerberus SFR IDF Partners has five stars

Every control we look for is reported: an annual audit by PwC, an outside administrator in U.S.. Bank National Association, and valuation of nearly all assets by a firm outside the group. Cerberus runs USD 92 billion of regulatory assets and has been registered with the SEC since 2010. We found no weak point in its filings.

The rating looks only at the areas below, which matter to a family holding the fund through a private placement policy. Past returns play no part: these funds do not report them in their SEC filings, and they say little about what a policy will earn.

Conduct and regulatory record

What regulators and courts have recorded against the manager, and for platform series against the platform, as the advisers report it to the SEC. Several proceedings on one set of facts count as one matter. Recent and serious matters count most, matters of other companies in the group count for less, matters of individuals are weighed by the person's role and their bearing on the business, and the size of the firm is taken into account.

Reported controls

What the adviser reports to the SEC for the fund: whether the accounts are audited every year by an accountant registered with the PCAOB and subject to its regular inspection, whether audited statements go to investors and what the audit opinion says, whether the administrator and custodian are outside the adviser's group, and what share of the assets was valued last year by a person not related to the adviser.

Depth and experience of the manager

The assets the manager runs, its investment staff and how long it has been registered with the SEC.

Fund scale and investor base

The fund's gross assets, the number of its owners and how long it has been offered.

Reporting and filings

Whether the fund and its adviser keep their SEC filings current and consistent with each other.

Fit for a life insurance policy

Whether the fund is insurance-dedicated, so that a policy can hold it, and the minimum it asks. Liquidity terms join this element as they are documented.

Figures are shown as filed, with their dates. Form D counts investors in the offering and Form ADV counts beneficial owners, so the two numbers need not match. Gross asset value counts total assets without deducting borrowings or other liabilities, so it is not a net asset value. The minimum on Form D can be nominal; the amount a family actually needs is set by the insurer and the policy.

Inside a policy

What to check before this fund goes into a policy

Why the wrapper matters here

Rental and infrastructure income is taxed every year when held directly. Inside a policy that meets the tax rules it compounds untaxed, though the pass-through deductions a direct holder would use do not apply inside the wrapper, so the comparison depends on each family's position.

Liquidity

The fund's redemption terms are not in its public filings. Read them in the offering documents and set them against the way the policy will need cash: loans, withdrawals and the insurer's own rules for moving between funds.

Who chooses the investments

The policyholder can choose this fund from the insurer's menu but cannot direct what the fund buys. That line comes from the investor control rules, and it is the reason the fund exists in a separate insurance-only form.

Diversification

A policy's separate account must meet the diversification test of section 817(h). Because the fund is reached only through insurance policies, the test can look through to its assets if the fund meets the conditions of the Treasury rules; whether a given account passes is a question for the insurer, not something these filings show.

Valuation

SALI reports that all of the fund's assets were valued last year by a person not related to it, the strongest answer the form allows. Still ask who values the positions and how often.

Fees

Management and performance fees are set in the offering documents and are not shown in these filings. They come on top of the policy's own charges.

This is research, not an offer of the fund or advice to buy it. Interests in the fund are available only through an insurance company, and only to investors who qualify.

The adviser's record

Regulatory and legal record of Cerberus Capital Management, L.P.

The full list for the firm is in the manager file.

What the adviser itself discloses in Item 11 of its Form ADV, summarised from the disclosure pages, with a link to the filing. Item 11 is filed for the adviser as a whole, so under each matter the fund it concerns is read from the disclosure itself.

The filing also reports 1 matter that concerns an individual; such matters are weighed in the rating by the person's role and are not published here. These are the matters Cerberus Capital Management, L.P. reports in Item 11 of its Form ADV, filed 26 August 2026. A reported matter is a fact disclosed by the adviser, not a finding by PPLI.com about this fund. None of them concerns the fund's investments.

The series runs on the SALI platform. SALI Fund Management's own Form ADV reports no disciplinary matters in Item 11, and the platform's record carries a 30% share of the conduct element for every series it runs.
