The 25.0% is based on a federal statutory rate of 21.0% and a combined state, local and foreign rate net of federal benefits of 4.0%. As we were not subject to U.S. federal and state income taxes prior to the transaction, the blended statutory rate of 25.0% has been applied to all periods presented for comparability purposes. 6. As Class A common stock did not exist prior to the Transaction, the computation of ANI per share assumes the same number of adjusted shares outstanding for all periods presented for comparability purposes.

20 Illustrative Client Economic Value Proposition: Absolute Return Strategies Example: $300M Fee Paying; $300M Non-Fee Paying. Assuming 0% gross return. 1 This hypothetical portfolio has an annual performance fee component of 5% over a hurdle (capped at 5%) of 90-day U.S. T-Bill plus 2%. 2 Fee savings is shown for illustrative purposes only, and is not intended to imply that any GCM Grosvenor portfolio will achieve such savings over any period. Fee savings varies by GCM Grosvenor portfolio and our calculation of fee savings is subject to a number of assumptions. Fee savings may be greater at higher rates of return for certain portfolios. 3 Reflects the weighted-average GCM Grosvenor portfolio-level management fee across the fee-paying and non-fee-paying portions reflected above, assuming a 50/50 AUM split between the two. In practice many large institutional clients have greater than 50% of their absolute return programs being managed on a direct basis and consequently the value of a relationship with GCM Grosvenor is greater.

1. Based on cash flow up to the relevant date, GCM Grosvenor made a payment of $4.9mm at 12/31/20, may be required to make payments up to a maximum amount of $7.5mm at 12/31/21, and $7.5mm at 12/31/22; all such payments reduce the option price dollar for dollar. GCM Grosvenor may also be required to fund up to $15mm for investments alongside other Limited Partners in GCM Grosvenor funds after the Mosaic cash has been fully deployed for that purpose; the interests in such investments would be included in the existing option agreement. 2. Based on a threshold equal to 130% of amounts contributed to Mosaic by the third-party investor less distributions received, net of $32.2mm of Mosaic cash. As of December 31, 2020, the purchase price to exercise the Mosaic Call Right based on a 12% pre-tax internal rate of return on amounts contributed to Mosaic by the third-party investor would have been $138.7mm, net of Mosaic cash. Upon any exercise of the Mosaic Call Right or the Mosaic Put Right (as defined below), the actual purchase price will be equal to the greater of the two alternatives. 3. The amount shown represents the redeemable noncontrolling interest had the transaction occurred on December 31, 2019 and included all tax carry attributable to the Mosaic interests from such time forward. Without such tax carry, the redeemable noncontrolling interest amount reflected in our financial statements for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2020 is $7.8mm. 4. We define “Mosaic Carry Dollars at Work” as aggregate limited partner commitments to the relevant GCM Grosvenor fund in which Mosaic has an interest, multiplied by the percentage of carried interest provided for in the governing documents of the relevant fund, multiplied by Mosaic’s share. 36 ▪ In 2020, GCM Grosvenor formed Mosaic Acquisitions 2020, L.P.

37 Adjusted net income is a non-GAAP measure that we present on a pre-tax and after-tax basis to evaluate our profitability. Adjusted pre-tax income represents net income attributable to GCM Grosvenor Inc. including (a) net income attributable to GCMH, excluding (b) income taxes, (c) change in fair value of derivatives, (d) partnership interest-based and non-cash compensation, (e) unrealized investment income, and (f) certain other items that we believe are not indicative of our core performance, including charges related to corporate transactions and employee severance. We believe adjusted pre-tax income is useful to investors because it provides additional insight into the operating profitability of our business. Adjusted net income represents adjusted pre-tax income minus income taxes, which represent corporate income taxes at a blended effective tax rate of 21% and an estimated combined state, local and foreign income tax rate net of federal benefits of 4%. As we were not subject to U.S. federal and state income taxes prior to November 17, 2020, the blended statutory tax rate of 25% has been applied to all prior periods presented for comparability purposes Adjusted Earnings Per Share (“EPS”) is a non-GAAP measure that is calculated by dividing adjusted net income by adjusted shares outstanding. Adjusted shares outstanding assumes the hypothetical full exchange of limited partnership interests in GCMH into Class A common stock of GCM Grosvenor Inc. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure which represents adjusted net income excluding (a) income taxes, (b) depreciation expense and (c) interest expense on our outstanding debt. We believe Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors because it enables them to better evaluate the performance of our core business across reporting periods. Adjusted EBITDA Margin represents Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of our total operating revenues, net of Fund expense reimbursements. Adjusted fee-related earnings (“FRE”) is a non-GAAP measure used to highlight earnings from recurring management fees and administrative fees. Adjusted fee-related earnings represents Adjusted EBITDA further adjusted to exclude (a) incentive fees and related compensation and (b) other non-operating income, and to include depreciation expense. We believe adjusted fee-related earnings is useful to investors because it provides additional insights into the management fee driven operating profitability of our business. Adjusted FRE Margin represents Adjusted FRE as a percentage of our management fee and other operating revenue, net of Fund expense reimbursements. Adjusted Revenue represents total operating revenues excluding reimbursement of expenses paid on behalf of GCM Funds and affiliates. Net incentive fees attributable to GCM Grosvenor is a non-GAAP measure used to highlight fees earned from incentive fees that are attributable to GCM Grosvenor. Net incentive fees represent incentive fees excluding (a) incentive fee related compensation (b) carried interest attributable to noncontrolling interest holders. Net fees attributable to GCM Grosvenor is a non-GAAP measure used to highlight revenues attributable to GCM Grosvenor. Net fees attributable to GCM Grosvenor represent total operating revenues fees excluding (a) reimbursement of expenses paid on behalf of GCM Funds and affiliates, (b) incentive fee related compensation and (c) carried interest attributable to noncontrolling interest holders. Fee-Paying Assets Under Management (“FPAUM” or “Fee-Paying AUM") is a key performance indicator we use to measure the assets from which we earn management fees. Our FPAUM comprises the assets in our customized separate accounts and specialized funds from which we derive management fees. We classify customized separate account revenue as management fees if the client is charged an asset-based fee, which includes the vast majority of our discretionary AUM accounts. The FPAUM for our private market strategies typically represents committed, invested or scheduled capital during the investment period and invested capital following the expiration or termination of the investment period. Substantially all of our private markets strategies funds earn fees based on commitments or net invested capital, which are not affected by market appreciation or depreciation. Our FPAUM for our absolute return strategy is based on net asset value. Our calculations of FPAUM may differ from the calculations of other asset managers, and as a result, this measure may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other asset managers. Our definition of FPAUM is not based on any definition that is set forth in the agreements governing the customized separate accounts or specialized funds that we manage. Contracted, not yet fee-paying AUM (“CNYFPAUM”) represents limited partner commitments during or prior to the initial commitment or investment period where fees are expected to be charged in the future based on invested capital (capital committed to underlying investments) or on a scheduled ramp-in of total commitments Certain Definitions and Use of Non-GAAP Financials and Key Performance Indicators
38 Assets Under Management (“AUM”) reflects the sum of (a) FPAUM, (b) CNYFPAUM and (c) other mark-to-market, insider capital and non-fee-paying assets under management. GCM Grosvenor refers to the combined accounts of (a) Grosvenor Capital Management Holdings, LLLP ("LLLP" or "GCMH"), an Delaware limited liability limited partnership, and its consolidated subsidiaries and (b) GCM, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company. Transaction refers to the business combination announced August 3, 2020 and completed on November 17, 2020 through which CFAC merged with and into GCM Grosvenor Inc., ceasing the separate corporate existence of CFAC with GCM Grosvenor Inc. becoming the surviving corporation. Following the business combination, the financial statements of GCM Grosvenor Inc. will represent a continuation of the financial statements of GCM Grosvenor with the transaction being treated as the equivalent of GCM Grosvenor issuing stock for the net assets of GCM Grosvenor, Inc., accompanied by a recapitalization.

39 Forward-Looking Statements This presentation contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including statements regarding the expected future performance of GCM Grosvenor’s business. These forward-looking statements generally are identified by the words “believe,” “project,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “intend,” “strategy,” “future,” “opportunity,” “plan,” “may,” “should,” “will,” “would” and similar expressions. Forward-looking statements are predictions, projections and other statements about future events that are based on current expectations and assumptions and, as a result, are subject to risks and uncertainties. These statements are neither promises nor guarantees, but involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to, the historical performance of our funds may not be indicative of our future results; risks related to redemptions and termination of engagements; effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business; the variable nature of our revenues; competition in our industry; effects of domestic and foreign government regulation or compliance failures; operational risks and data security breaches; our ability to deal appropriately with conflicts of interest; market, geopolitical and economic conditions; identification and availability of suitable investment opportunities; and risks related to our ability to grow AUM and the performance of our investments. You should carefully consider the foregoing factors and the other risks and uncertainties described in the “Risk Factors” section of the final prospectus filed by GCM Grosvenor Inc. on December 15, 2020, pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) and its other filings from time to time with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. These filings identify and address other important risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events and results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. Readers are cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward-looking statements, and GCM Grosvenor assumes no obligation and does not intend to update or revise these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise, except as required by law. Non-GAAP Financial Measures The non-GAAP financial measures contained in this presentation are not GAAP measures of GCM Grosvenor’s financial performance or liquidity and should not be considered as alternatives to net income (loss) as a measure of financial performance or cash flows from operations as measures of liquidity, or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of such non-GAAP measures to their most directly comparable GAAP measure is included elsewhere in this presentation. You are encouraged to evaluate each adjustment to non-GAAP financial measures and the reasons management considers it appropriate for supplemental analysis. Our presentation of these measures should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. In addition, these measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies in our industry or across different industries. This presentation includes certain projections of non-GAAP financial measures including fee-related earnings. Due to the high variability and difficulty in making accurate forecasts and projections of some of the information excluded from these projected measures, together with some of the excluded information not being ascertainable or accessible, GCM Grosvenor is unable to quantify certain amounts that would be required to be included in the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures without unreasonable effort. Consequently, no disclosure of estimated comparable GAAP measures is included and no reconciliation of the forward looking non GAAP financial measures is included. Disclaimer
