Approach

The team seeks to reduce credit risk through an ongoing evaluation of portfolio exposure at each step of the process:

Deal Review

  • Initial deal screening based on targets such as minimum tranche size and EBITDA
  • Focus is on asset coverage, free cash flow, defendable market position and quality of management
  • Deal details and diligence are integrated into our systems

Investment Memo/Due Diligence

  • The due diligence process culminates in an investment memo handed out to the entire analyst team prior to the credit committee meeting. It provides in-depth business, structural and portfolio analysis

Financial Model

  • Prepared based on our proprietary research and open source data

Credit Meeting

  • A meeting to consider the opportunity based on the internally developed intelligence, identify red flags and formulate a trading and risk management plan

Credit Monitoring Process

  • Layers of predefined daily, weekly, quarterly and ongoing monitoring and analysis

Our proprietary Credit Portfolio Management System integrates credit analytics with active portfolio management and compliance in a single application. This allows our portfolio managers and analysts to work together more efficiently.

Considerations

One should carefully consider the risks associated with investing, whether the strategy suits your investment requirements and whether you have sufficient resources to bear any losses which may result from an investment:

Investment Objective Risk - There is no guarantee that the Strategy will achieve its investment objective.

Market Risk - The Strategy is subject to normal market fluctuations and the risks associated with investing in international securities markets and therefore the value of your investment and the income from it may rise as well as fall and you may not get back the amount originally invested.

Counterparty Risk - The Strategy will be exposed to credit risk on counterparties with which it trades in relation to on-exchange traded instruments such as futures and options and where applicable, ‘over-the- counter’("OTC","non-exchange") transactions. OTC instruments may also be less liquid and are not afforded the same protections that may apply to participants trading instruments on an organised exchange.

Currency Risk - The value of investments designated in another currency may rise and fall due to exchange rate fluctuations. Adverse movements in currency exchange rates may result in a decrease in return and a loss of capital. It may not be possible or practicable to successfully hedge against the currency risk exposure in all circumstances.

Liquidity Risk - The Strategy may make investments or hold trading positions in markets that are volatile and which may become illiquid. Timely and cost efficient sale of trading positions can be impaired by decreased trading volume and/or increased price volatility..
