The Fund's latest monthly update report - November 2023
Our funds have the flexibility to invest anywhere through the capital structure including in multiple parts of the capital structure. Our primary focus is on senior secured credit, with this typically representing >80% of our fund’s composition at any point in time.
We have the flexibility to invest across all sectors/asset classes, with a range of sector expertise sitting across our team and coupled with a panel of technical advisors. We believe this allows us to move between in-favour and out-of-favour sectors.
Investments in private markets can yield higher returns due to the illiquidity premium, as investors are compensated for committing their capital for longer periods. Additionally, private investments often include tailored investor protections and covenants, which can help to mitigate overall risk of a particular investment.
Private market investments involve detailed due diligence, structured deal terms, and active management, which help in identifying and mitigating risks. This hands-on approach allows for more controlled risk management compared to public market investments.
Private markets can be less immediately impacted by short-term market fluctuations and economic downturns compared to public markets.
As credit-oriented investors, our underlying strategy is to protect our capital in all scenarios. The situations we evaluate typically have an element of complexity, require a bespoke funding solution or require capital in an expedient manner that allows us to generate excess returns.
Our returns are primarily generated through senior secured loan investments with significant margin of safety built into them from the collateral protection we obtain.
While all loan positions must pass conservative downside cases ahead of being underwritten, we will take control of the situation to the extent we start to see early signs of mismanagement/value deterioration. We are active asset managers and have the experience to workout/turnaround underperforming investments.
We primarily target borrowers who require growth capital or transitional capital or those who have limited access to traditional capital markets. Our flexible mandate aims to address three specific requirements for borrowers: (1) complexity, (2) bespoke funding solution; and (3) speed of execution.
The fund's returns are generated from upfront fees, interest income (cash or capitalising), plus any additional enhancements negotiated in a transaction (e.g. warrants, convertible features, exit fees etc.).
Our funds offer flexibility of redemptions, allowing investors to manage their liquidity. It’s important to note, however, that while this feature provides an avenue for early exits, the underlying investments carry an inherent level of illiquidity.
