CLO Asset Manager Handbook i

Welcome to the fifth edition of Fitch Ratings’ CLO Asset Manager Handbook. This edition includes profile reports for 69 CLO managers, with all data and information presented in a standardized format as of YE15. Managers included in the Handbook provide their data in recognition of the importance of increasing transparency and comparability in the CLO market.

Through a combination of key manager facts and attributes — including corporate structure, key personnel, assets under management and CLOs under management — our profile reports provide investors with a consistent framework for evaluating and benchmarking managers against each other. New in this current edition, we present U.S. managers’ self-described risk retention strategies. Additionally, the customary CLOs Under Management tables now also display CLOs’ anticipated compliance with U.S. risk retention along with Volcker and CRR compliance status.

In the case of 61 managers, our Fund and Asset Manager Ratings and Structured Credit teams conducted operational risk assessments and reviewed the managers’ investment processes. The profile reports for those managers include The Fitch View, which represents our summary assessment of the managers’ qualifications, strengths, potential areas of concern and any mitigating factors.

The next edition of the Handbook will be published in 1H17, based on data as of YE16. If you have any suggestions or comments — or if you are a manager that would like to participate in the next edition — please email [email protected].

Note: CLO managers provided the information contained in their respective profile reports. All data are as of Dec. 31, 2015 unless otherwise specified. CLOs priced after Dec. 31, 2015 are not listed. Numbers may not add due to rounding.

U.S. CLO Risk Retention Strategy

Preferred Form of Interest Varying on a deal-by-deal basis

Preferred Structure Varying on a deal-by-deal basisOverall Self-Described Risk Retention Strategy 3iDM is part of the 3i Group plc. The 3i Group is

committed to ensuring that its CLO issuance activity can continue under current and soon-to-be-implemented regulatory requirements. 3i Group companies have been purchasing sufficient equity in 3iDM’s European CLOs to comply with European risk retention regulations since the implementation of such regulations in 2013. Starting in 2015, 3i Group companies have begun investing sufficient capital in 3iDM’s U.S. entity to demonstrate the ability to comply with U.S. risk retention regulations when they become effective in December 2016. Although the 3i Group has been lending risk retention investments in this way, the debt management team is working with several third-party investors to establish a risk retention platform that would combine 3iDM and third-party capital to support risk retention compliant 3iDM-managed CLO issuance for the foreseeable future.

3i Debt Management Group3i Group plc consists of three business lines: private equity, infrastructure and debt management. 3i Debt Management Group (3iDM) was established in February 2011 following the acquisition of the Mizuho Investment Management European debt platform; 3iDM’s U.S. operations were established in August 2012 following a strategic transaction with WCAS Fraser Sullivan. As of Dec. 31, 2015, 3iDM’s U.S. and European entities had a combined $11.5 billion in global assets under management (AUM).

The Fitch ViewKey Considerations

● Established and institutionalized leveraged loan management platform with long track record. Benefits from the substantial scale and resources of its strong and stable parent, 3i Group plc.

● Experienced team with a long track record of successful CLO issuance and administration. Senior management averages 20 years of relevant investment experience and has worked together for almost a decade.

● A continuing challenge for 3iDM will be to manage potential conflicts of interest by maintaining the company’s effective wall of separation between the CLO platform and 3i Group plc’s private equity business.

Company ● 3iDM in its current form results mainly from the acquisition of the Mizuho Investment Management

European debt platform in 2011, the acquisition of five European CLOs from Invesco in 2012 and a strategic U.S.-based transaction with WCAS Fraser Sullivan in 2012.

● 3iDM (and its predecessors) has been managing European CLOs since 2004 and U.S. CLOs since 2006. New CLO issuance represents an important part of 3i Group plc’s corporate strategy to grow third-party income along with loan funds.

● 3i Group plc has a global presence with three distinct investment businesses: private equity; infrastructure focused on utilities, transportation and social infrastructure; and debt management.

● All portfolio management, credit analysis and loan operations functions are conducted in-house, with non-investment-related functions like human resources, information technology and back-office operations handled by 3i Group plc.

Investments ● Focus is on broadly syndicated loans, specifically companies with EBITDA of greater than

$50 million and facilities greater than $300 million, with strong management teams. Predominantly senior debt.

● Formalized investment process based on bottom-up fundamental credit selection conducted by an analyst team organized by sector and geography. Credit analysis formalized in internal ratings and short memos of sufficient quality.

● Credit buy and sell decision (and material waivers) approved by investment committee of four. Minutes of credit committee decision documented.

● Strong market access capacity via 3iDM’s established position in leveraged loans.Controls

● Risk oversight effected via 3i Group plc’s compliance, internal audit and committee structures (group risk committee, conflict committee and audit and compliance committee).

● Strong focus on compliance from being publicly listed and registered; Global Investment Performance Standards compliant.

● 3iDM has various compliance and governance processes in place to support accuracy of trading, portfolio management and administration functions.

Operations ● Operational procedures are sound, supported by fund administration team of four and

industry-standard tools such as Wall Street Office (WSO) for loan/CLO administration. ● Scalability of processes demonstrated through integration of previously acquired CLOs and new

mandates to 3iDM’s platform. ● Daily cash and weekly position reconciliations with the trustee.

Technology ● Appropriate blend of third-party and proprietary systems used, including WSO and Everest,

integrated via a proprietary data warehouse. ● Technology and systems support is managed and maintained by parent company, which also

provides appropriate disaster recovery services. ● External data feeds for pricing (Markit and Bloomberg) integrated to WSO and Everest.

Preferred Form of Interest Vertical interests


Overall Self-Described Risk Retention Strategy With the introduction of risk retention rules in Europe in 2013, Alcentra NY’s affiliate, Alcentra Ltd., has taken 5% vertical strips in its five European CLOs. These interests will be held for the life of the deal. When risk retention becomes required in the U.S., Alcentra fully expects to achieve compliance under a similar approach. Ultimately, Alcentra may choose to finance a portion of the risk retention capital; however, it is unlikely to be the first to test financing strategies and will likely wait for confirmation of acceptance of these structures in both the marketplace and with regulators. Risk retention compliance is not expected to materially change Alcentra’s business model or investment strategy.

AlcentraAlcentra NY, LLC and Alcentra Ltd. (together, Alcentra) are wholly owned subsidiaries of The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation (BNY). Alcentra is a specialist manager of sub-investment-grade debt; it manages strategies across senior-secured loans, high-yield bonds, structured credit, direct lending, special situations and multistrategy credit. As of Dec. 31, 2015, Alcentra had approximately $27.8 billion in assets under management (AUM), including approximately $11.8 billion in CLO assets.

● Specialized global credit asset manager with long track record, substantial CLO AUM and beneficial support of owner, BNY.

● Tenured and experienced professional team at all levels, demonstrating stability over time. ● Retaining sufficient depth of credit resources given the increased workload as Alcentra expands

further into direct lending, which is more credit research intensive, especially during the initial ramp-up phase of funds.

● Willingness to continue diversifying Alcentra’s asset base away from CLOs, raising additional assets and developing new product lines in uncertain market conditions.

Company ● Established in 2002 via BNY Alcentra Group Holdings, Inc., Alcentra is a specialist sub-investment-

grade asset manager, 100% owned by its parent, BNY. ● Well capitalized, exhibiting robust financial performance with stable, term-financed asset base. ● Investment staff averages approximately 14 years of experience, with senior portfolio managers

(PMs) possessing on average over 23 years’ experience. ● Diversified investor base (across investor types and regions), with good access to loan markets

due to size, track record and experience within the industry. Investments

● Two-step credit selection process consisting of a prescreening phase and a full due diligence phase. Credits are then presented to a credit committee.

● Credit analysts allocated by sector, region and specialization. All analysts cover across the capital structure, meaning each analyst covers both high yield and loans.

● Presence of a dedicated workout specialist and a dedicated in-house lawyer, complemented by knowledge and experience of senior management and analysts.

● Relative value assessed through price feeds and judgments, formalized at the credit committee. ● Position sizing and portfolio diversification are at the discretion of the PM. Sell decisions are

based purely on analysis of the underlying credit and recovery potential.Controls

● Monthly credit risk monitoring formalized via credit, liquidity and recovery internal ratings, the maintenance of a watchlist and quarterly full portfolio reviews.

● An independent monthly risk committee formalizes the risk management process. The risk committee discusses all risk and control issues facing the company, projects and funds, and can escalate issues to the Alcentra Ltd. board.

● Disciplined committee-based credit process, with PMs taking final investment responsibility. ● Public/private data issues managed in accordance with defined policies and compliance oversight. ● Oversight is provided by a team of nine risk and compliance professionals, including a dedicated

risk manager and a chief compliance officer at Alcentra. Alcentra is audited by BNY’s internal audit function biennially.

Operations ● Administration based on Wall Street Office (WSO), which benefits from two-way flows to the

front-office system, Everest. ● Scalability of processes demonstrated through integration of previously acquired CLOs and new

mandates to Alcentra’s platform. ● Loans are traded by the PM and an experienced trader. Trades have to be reviewed by the

operations team before execution. Aged loan settlements are reviewed and monitored on a regular basis, with defined escalation procedures.

Technology ● Everest, the front-office system, integrates the front-to-back-office trading and portfolio

management systems. ● WSO, the back-office system, is used as a data repository. Intex is used to provide analysis on the

entire European CLO universe. ● External data feeds for pricing (Markit, IDC) integrated to WSO (via WSO Fax) and Everest.

● The company employs best-in-class risk management and compliance oversight, coupled with proprietary systems that integrate portfolio management tools, compliance and administrative functions.

Overall Self-Described Risk Retention Strategy Since 2011, AMMC’s insurance affiliates have purchased debt and equity tranches in AMMC-managed CLOs, with a typical investment being in excess of 5.0% of each CLO’s capital structure. While these investments were not specifically designed to be compliant with the risk retention requirements, the purchases are similar in type and size to the economic interest required to be retained under the rules. AMMC and its affiliates intend to be opportunistic in their retention strategy based on market conditions and continue to review alternatives as additional guidance on the rules is issued.

American Money Management CorporationAmerican Money Management Corporation (AMMC) is a wholly owned subsidiary of American Financial Group, Inc. (AFG), an insurance holding company based in Cincinnati. AMMC was established in 1973 to provide investment management services to AFG and its subsidiaries as well as third-party pooled investment vehicles.

● Extensive experience and depth of staff at both management and research levels. ● Experienced CLO issuer showing stable performance. ● Strong commitment to CLO platform from AFG. ● The CLO compliance system is heavily reliant on manually maintained Excel spreadsheets rather

than more industry-standard web applications. This is mitigated by the long-proven functionality of the system and the experience and stability of the compliance staff in maintaining and regularly enhancing it.

CLOs. It has issued 17 CLOs since 1999. ● The CLO platform is well staffed at all levels, and the investment team averages 20-plus years

of industry experience. The credit research team has 15 members, including senior managers Chester Eng and Dave Meyer.

● AMMC or affiliates typically retain significant portions of equity in their CLOs, ranging between 30% and 51% per deal for more recent transactions.

Investments ● AMMC’s investment philosophy is value oriented, with a strong emphasis on fundamentals and

experienced sector views. ● The team focuses primarily on first-lien senior-secured loans and tends to take a buy-and-hold

approach to investments. ● Analysts are given a great deal of responsibility, forming sector weightings in addition to buy/sell/

hold recommendations. ● A team-and-consensus approach is employed, wherein input from all analysts, portfolio managers

and traders is considered.Controls

● As a wholly owned subsidiary of publicly traded AFG, AMMC is subject to strong internal and external oversight.

● AMMC recently completed its SEC investment adviser registration process and will be subject to periodic reviews.

● Overall, AMMC operates under a sound control environment, with close oversight by AMMC and AFG senior management.

Operations ● AMMC exhibits strong overall CLO administration capabilities, exemplified by the issuance of

17 transactions since 1999. When compared to S&P’s LCD LoanStats, the CLO loan portfolio has outperformed the market in terms of defaults on an annualized basis since 2000.

● The CLO team uses proprietary cash flow models and Excel-based models for compliance and trustee cash/position reconciliation.

● AMMC provides commentary to its CLO investors on a quarterly basis via its investor letters, in addition to the monthly trustee reports. Commentary typically outlines portfolio developments, the current state of the market and ongoing management strategy.

Technology ● AMMC shares IT resources with AFG. ● Portfolio management has access to third-party pricing services in addition to Bloomberg and

several industry-level research publication subscriptions. ● Disaster recovery and business continuity plans are tested frequently, and remote access

Ares notes that it does have the ability to deploy sufficient capital to issue compliant deals subject to market conditions and contingent on the optimal solution that is ultimately determined.

● Ares has a long history, a strong brand name and an exclusive focus on and extensive track record in asset management, especially in credit markets.

● A collaborative culture results in cross-sector idea generation and credit research, while the credit team is experienced and has demonstrated stability over time.

● Significant exposure to institutional investors, albeit diversified by relationship. The challenge is to continue to diversify investor base by increasing retail AUM.

● Managing portfolio ramp-up/rebalancing in the context of low supply and increasing demand for U.S. leveraged loans.

● Compliance and operational resources in Europe are currently sufficient given the number of CLOs managed, but challenges may arise if Ares significantly expands its European CLO count.

Company ● Founded in 1997, Ares is a global alternative asset manager and SEC-registered investment

adviser with $94 billion in AUM and approximately 870 employees. ● Three distinct platforms: credit, private equity and real estate. ● Active management investment philosophy focuses on optimizing risk-adjusted return opportunities

through the utilization of fundamental bottom-up analysis with a macroeconomic overlay. ● Ares has a long history of managing U.S. CLOs (since 1999) and has been managing European

CLOs since 2007.Investments

● Credit selection process focuses on bottom-up fundamental research and relative-value determinations, requiring unanimous approval from portfolio managers (PMs) for inclusion in a portfolio. Position sizing, allocations and top-down inputs are determined by PMs and given based on the specific needs of each portfolio.

● Analysts are organized by sector. Senior analysts are paired with junior analysts to ensure dual coverage of sectors, which differentiates Ares from peers. All analysts cover credits across the capital structure. A separate direct lending team analyzes these investments.

● Each investment has a standardized investment guideline checklist (based on ratio analysis, credit quality and earnings predictability, among other things). A proprietary financial model is produced for every credit, with various scenario-based forecasts used.

Controls ● Risk management team front-ends its analysis of credit through use of pretrade compliance testing

in Black Mountain’s Everest platform and meets with investment teams regularly. CDO Suite is used to test for CLO compliance in Ares’ existing CLOs.

● Ares’ primary position is to be public on a particular credit across the firm. In the case of an exception, compliance must provide signoff before any private information is received.

Operations ● Middle-office operations are performed in-house. Back-office operations are outsourced to

GlobeOp, guided by a service-level agreement and regular reviews. Weekly team meetings are supplemented by formal monthly reviews.

● Ares and GlobeOp’s systems allow straight-through processing with the trustee, enabling automated daily cash and position reconciliations.

● Ares has a dedicated loan settlement team. Weekly pending trade reports are reviewed by the team and the PM, with defined escalation procedures in place.

Technology ● Integrated, automated and flexible platform based on a combination of proprietary and widely

accepted industry systems, including the best-in-class Black Mountain Everest. Additionally, Wall Street Office, Bloomberg and Geneva are utilized.

● Ares has developed a proprietary credit dashboard to store investment research alongside the necessary financial metrics for each credit.

● Diversified product line lessens dependence on CLO issuance for stable revenues. ● Senior CLO leadership has extensive experience structuring and managing broadly syndicated

deals. ● Exposure to operational risk, as front-office portfolio management system and credit scoring

model are highly dependent on manual inputs; this is mitigated by the firm’s currently manageable bank loan book of approximately 300 names.

Company ● Arrowpoint was founded in 2007 and as of Dec. 31, 2015 had AUM of $7.7 billion. AUM is allocated

across fairly diverse equity and fixed-income product offerings, including hedge funds, separate accounts, mutual funds and CLOs.

● The CLO platform is led by Sanjai Bhonsle and Lee Shaiman, who are supported by a 10-member, industry-based research team that averages over 13 years of experience.

● Arrowpoint has historically retained a sizable portion of equity in its CLOs, in addition to occasional smaller investments in the mezzanine tranches.

Investments ● Arrowpoint has established a clearly defined investment process, which begins with the investment

opportunity screening process overseen by Bhonsle, Shaiman and respective industry analysts. ● Arrowpoint claims to cover the entire new issuance bank loan market and has an acceptance rate

ranging from 30%–40% for all new investments. ● Formal investment decisions are made by unanimous vote, and the committee meets at least

twice weekly. ● Internal risk ratings for each potential investment are generated by the model and are strictly

adhered to. All investments meeting acceptable risk rating requirements are then written up in a thorough and comprehensive credit memo and subject to investment committee approval.

Controls ● Arrowpoint exhibits an adequate control environment. The firm has six separate oversight

committees that meet at least quarterly and are responsible for reviewing and updating procedures in their respective critical areas.

● Augmenting internal compliance oversight, Arrowpoint has retained the services of third-party consultant ACA Compliance to test and perform mock regulatory reviews.

● Watchlist early warning system is based on a three-tiered ranking system, with respective analysts and portfolio managers (PMs) reviewing all credits on the list at least quarterly.

Operations ● Arrowpoint outsources the bulk of its CLO administration duties to Cortland Capital Market

Services (Cortland), a well-recognized and experienced firm in this area. ● Cortland performs all the industry-standard CLO administrative duties, including daily reconciliation

of cash positions and monthly portfolio asset tie-outs with the CLO trustees. ● Arrowpoint’s operations team and PMs are provided with daily reports from Cortland, including

real-time reports of CLO covenants that are used for pre-trade compliance.Technology

● Rather than build out an internal IT department, Arrowpoint has outsourced many of its technological functions to third-party service providers in an effort to allocate more capital to the firm’s research capabilities.

● Arrowpoint has licenses for CDO Sentry, which it uses for certain administrative functions as well as portfolio management functions not performed by Cortland.

● Eze Castle has been retained to provide an order management system and applications for pre- and post-trade compliance and modeling.

● Long and successful track record managing leveraged loans since 2001 and CLOs since 2004, both in the U.S. and Europe. Strong and committed parent.

● Diversified, large loan management business resulting in limited pressure to issue additional CLOs.

● Depth of resources devoted to loan research and management, CLO structuring and administration. Tenured and experienced structured finance staff.

Company ● The global loan and private debt team of 31 is part of AXA Structured Finance, which had 77

professionals and approximately €21 billion in AUM as of end of December 2015. ● The platform comprises three portfolio managers (PMs), 13 dedicated credit research analysts

and one U.S. loan trader (PMs execute trades in Europe). Average experience is 13 years. ● The team also benefits from dedicated support staff (for loan settlement and transaction support)

and wide access to AXA IM’s shared resources. Investments

● Investment approach is a robust blend of bottom-up fundamental and tactical credit selection and strategic top-down inputs.

● The 13 research analysts (six U.S., seven European) are allocated by sector, covering roughly 250 U.S. names and 200 European names as of March 31, 2016.

● Preliminary assessments and full credit analysis are documented in comprehensive memos. The analysis includes financial modeling and stress tests. The primary focus is on senior-secured loans (90% of investments made). Output of analysis is a grade.

● AXA IM has good access to management and deal flow, a function of scale (tickets can be up to €100 million) and established relations with banks and private equity firms.

● Credit approval is formalized in ad hoc credit committees, meeting strict governance requirements. Decisions to invest in committee-approved credit are made solely by PMs.

● AXA IM has demonstrated an active involvement in workout, a result of scale and experience.Controls

● AXA IM has a strong governance structure and multilayer risk control framework. One (independent) risk manager is dedicated to the loan/CLO business.

● Pretrade compliance is system-based. Post-trade, second level of controls is the responsibility of two portfolio controllers reporting to operations and dedicated to loan platform.

● Policies govern the management of public and private information. Protective barriers between the high-yield and leveraged loan teams include segregated system views and separate locations, and are overseen by compliance, with strict control on the flow of information. It is very rare for AXA IM to simultaneously own bonds (public) and loans (private) of the same issuer.

Operations ● Daily cash/interest reconciliation and monthly position reconciliation between AXA IM and trustees. ● Middle-office function is outsourced to State Street Bank, with AXA IM maintaining oversight and

controls in-house. ● AXA IM uses two main trustees: Bank of New York and BNP Paribas Securities Services. ● AXA IM produces monthly supplemental investment commentary and various additional

customized reports.Technology

● Use of proprietary application (Maia) and third-party systems (Wall Street Office [WSO], among others) adequately meets the specific needs of business (including multicurrency portfolios and complex structures).

● A central database supports integration of WSO and Maia. ● Use of Markit analytics and pricing data, feeding WSO and Maia via AXA IM’s central repository.

Preferred Structure Varying on a deal-by-deal basisOverall Self-Described Risk Retention Strategy Babson’s parent company, MassMutual, has made a sufficient

capital commitment to solve for Risk Retention and allow Babson to issue two to three CLOs per year, which, based on normal market conditions, is the firm’s expected issuance volume. Historically, MassMutual has participated in the equity tranche of every Babson-issued CLO, and it is also a natural buyer of CLO debt tranches. Additionally, Babson has already solved for risk retention rules with its European CLO platform and its 2015 issued CLOs.

Babson Capital Management LLCBabson Capital Management LLC (Babson Capital) is a global investment manager that was founded in 1940. Its European subsidiary, Babson Capital Management (UK) Limited (Babson Capital Europe), was established in 2000.

investment professionals and additional resources for support functions. There are 50 U.S. investment professionals, primarily based in Charlotte, including 11 portfolio managers (PMs), 27 research analysts, four dedicated traders and six product managers.

● There are 20 European investment professionals, all based in London, including three PMs, 13 research analysts, two dedicated traders and two product managers.

● Senior managers have extensive experience with CLOs, worked together prior to Babson Capital and were involved in issuing very early CLOs.

Investments ● Process-oriented, fundamental bottom-up approach to analysis that seeks to identify relative

value throughout the capital structure and across industries. ● Idea generation primarily falls to analysts to regularly push ideas to PMs. ● Analysts monitor both approved and non-approved names, with an average of 35–45 names per

analyst. ● Team-based approach to credit decision-making process that culminates in daily voting

committees, in which a majority is needed to approve credits to be added to the approve list. Strong ability to leverage scale to access a broad selection of investment opportunities.

● Sell discipline and decisions are based on analyst and PM recommendation as well as risk assessment, market prices and relative value.

Controls ● Additional independent oversight and diligence performed by Babson Capital’s parent company,

MassMutual. MassMutual invests in the equity of each new issue CLO. ● In most cases, Babson Capital will elect to be public on any issue unless there is an exceptionally

strong reason for going private. This approach mitigates conflicts of interest. Where it goes private, walls of separation are established, overseen by compliance.

● Controls are implemented through multiple layers of governance committees, overseen by a dedicated compliance group and supported by a comprehensive suite of compliance policies and manuals.

Operations ● Dedicated CLO administration resources provide independent trustee reconciliation and indenture

compliance monitoring. ● All portfolio management and credit analysis functions are conducted in-house. Models are run

daily to ensure compliance with CLO tests. CDO Suite for CLO compliance testing. ● High degree of integration with trustee (via State Street, which uses Wall Street Office for loan

management) based on automated data feeds. This results in automated daily cash and position reconciliation.

Technology ● Robust, flexible, automated and integrated platform based on a combination of proprietary and

third-party systems, namely Black Mountain Everest, which incorporates portfolio, compliance and risk management functions as well as trade and research capabilities.

● External data feeds for pricing from Markit (loans) and IDC (bonds) feed into Black Mountain Everest.

● Independent asset manager with a diversified business benefiting from both a depth of experience in CLO and loan management and a stable and experienced senior management.

● Robust risk management structure with risk managers structurally embedded in the credit decision-making process by virtue of being represented on the credit committee.

● Outsourced credit research staff forming the majority of the analyst pool. The outsourced analysts feed into Cairn Capital’s experienced London-based senior credit analysts.

Company ● Cairn Capital is owned by the directors and staff, with one strategic external institutional investor.

Its relatively high level of employee ownership aligns staff with the success of the business. ● Cairn Capital is a multistrategy platform; strategies include long/short structured credit, multi-asset

credit and CLOs. ● Cairn Capital’s investor base is diversified by type and geography. ● Cairn Capital operates an outsourced credit research team in Mumbai feeding into a limited

number of senior London-based credit analysts. This structure differentiates Cairn Capital from peers, which typically rely on in-house research teams.

● Regarding risk retention strategy, CLI is a MiFID investment firm authorized by the FCA acting in the capacity of CLO sponsor. It invests in Cairn Capital junior CLO notes and provides capital to Cairn Capital CLO warehouses.

Investments ● The investment process is multistage, based on bottom-up fundamental credit analysis. ● An initial filtering step eliminates opportunities that would not be suitable for any portfolio or would

be unlikely to pass the full credit analysis. ● The full credit analysis is detailed, including top-down and bottom-up elements and finally a

relative-value assessment. ● Position sizing is driven by portfolio manager (PM) conviction, subject to a trading limit approved

by the investment committee. ● The CLO investment team comprises two PMs, four London-based senior credit analysts and five

outsourced credit analysts based in Mumbai. ● Cairn Capital’s decline rate was 63% in 2015, occurring primarily at the filtering stage.

Controls ● Public/private data are managed in accordance with defined policies and compliance oversight. ● Pre- and post-trade compliance testing is effected via CDO Sentry. ● Cairn Capital is differentiated from other CLO managers by having risk management permanently

represented on the investment committee, thus bringing structural independence to the decision-making process.

Operations ● Additional employees in legal (three) and operations/treasury (eight). Loan settlements are

outsourced to Courtland. ● Dedicated CLO administrative staff in the operations and treasury team provides independent

trustee reconciliation and indenture compliance monitoring. ● Cash is reconciled daily and on trading; positions are reconciled monthly. ● Cairn Capital does not provide supplemental CLO investor reporting.

Technology ● Integrated and flexible platform based on a combination of proprietary systems (Nexus) and third-

party administration systems, including widely accepted industry systems such as CDO Sentry. ● Detailed business continuity and disaster recovery plans are in place and tested, with offsite

server storage and backups.

● A strong focus on primary market allocations is supported by Carlyle Investment Management’s (CIM) market position and more active trading strategy.

● Avoidance of potential conflicts of interest by maintaining the company’s newly implemented wall of separation between the CLO platform and CIM’s private equity business is an ongoing challenge.

Company ● Communication across various business segments encourages knowledge sharing and allows for

added industry insight. ● On average, analysts have 15 years’ experience and are responsible for covering between 40 and

50 credits, based on industry and experience. ● The investment team, consisting of 23 individuals, is responsible for U.S. CLO management. The

team has had very low turnover and exhibits strong preference for growth from within. ● Strategically focused on European CLO market, having launched six European CLOs since the

beginning of 2014 and delivering on its strategy of repeat issuance. ● Highly profitable business, with fee-based revenues. More than adequate regulatory capital.

Investments ● Carlyle’s U.S. structured credit group engages in active portfolio management through opportunistic

trading, with a relative-value focus and an emphasis on bottom-up fundamental credit selection. ● GMS leverages the entire CIM global network through inter-group knowledge sharing to broadly

access the market results in favorable primary market allocations. ● Ten analysts, allocated by sector, with primary/secondary system per name and sector. ● Coverage per analyst (40–50 names) is higher relative to peers but consistent with credit team’s

depth of experience. ● The committee process results in the assignment of a risk rating (1–10 scale) and a value rating

(1–5 scale) to each loan in the portfolio. ● CIM employees typically hold between 10% and 20% of the equity in CLO transactions to align

interest with investors.Controls

● Detailed policies covering order allocation, inter-fund trading, personal dealing and pricing are overseen by compliance.

● CIM has various daily, weekly, monthly and quarterly risk management reporting and oversight functions in place.

● Potential conflicts of interest managed through formal information barrier overseen by compliance. ● Public or private only at strategy level on all names, thus precluding conflicts of interest. Cleansing

period overseen by compliance when status (public versus private) changes.Operations

● GMS has a dedicated internal trading and operational support team that provides independent trustee reconciliation and indenture compliance monitoring.

● GMS has an additional, outsourced team at State Street to provide middle- and back-office support. Daily reconciliation with trustee is automated via bespoke system, Polaris.

● Trade settlements are outsourced to Courtland Capital. Daily reporting is overseen by COO. ● Investor reporting is available via a password-protected website and includes offering documents,

investor letters, performance reports and manager updates.Technology

● GMS has an integrated and flexible platform based on a combination of both proprietary analytics and best-in-class third-party systems such as Black Mountain Everest and Cortland.

● External data feeds for pricing (Markit for loans, IPD for bonds) are integrated with Polaris and Everest.

108 Chenavari Investment Managers


● Independent asset manager and experienced senior team. ● Strong proprietary technology, notably its look-through CLO analysis system, Toy Box. ● Limited CLO AUM to date, resulting from two acquired CLOs and one new CLO.

Company ● Chenavari is an independent asset manager founded in 2008 and focused on niche credit:

structured finance, credit and illiquid credit opportunities. As an independent entity it lacks the financial resources of other bank- or private equity-backed CLO managers. It actively seeds new activities with its own capital.

● Chenavari is privately held by the nine partners in the business. It is controlled by Loic Fery. ● Chenavari has been managing two CLOs as replacement CLO manager since 2012 and has

managed one new CLO since 2014. Its flagship structured finance fund (Toro) has been investing in CLO mezzanine and equity paper since the firm’s inception in 2008.

● The CLO management team consists of three with an average of 15 years’ experience. The research team consists of 10 staff (two staff members also have CLO portfolio management responsibility) who average approximately eight years of experience. The credit research team is shared across the business.

Investments ● The investment process relies on fundamental credit analysis incorporating bottom-up issuer

analysis and top-down themes, based on standardized accounting data. ● The analyst team is organized by sector and shared, with the result that analysts will cover both

loan and bond issuers. ● Research outputs are broadly standardized in succinct memos highlighting the key features of the

investment and providing an investment rationale. ● A filtering process effected by the CLO portfolio management team weeds out weaker issuers pre-

committee, with the result that turndowns by the investment committee itself are limited. Overall Chenavari estimates a 50% turndown rate on average. Committee decisions are minuted.

● Position sizing and portfolio diversification are at the discretion of the portfolio manager. ● Monitoring is ongoing, effected by the analyst team. Issuers are monitored continuously based

on news flow, company presentations and monthly account/budget data via Hunter, a proprietary database.

Controls ● Overall control is effected via the management committee, consisting of the CEO, COO and CRO,

with responsibility delegated by the partners. ● An independent risk management function is responsible for second-level risk management. ● Public/private data are managed in accordance with defined policies and compliance oversight. If

a conflict exists, the analysts will be public only in the majority of cases. ● Pre- and post-trade compliance testing is effected via Toy Box, a proprietary system.

Operations ● CLO administration is conducted in-house by one dedicated staff member, supported by a member

of the portfolio management team and the wider operations staff of 24. ● Chenavari has developed a semi-automated position and principal balance reconciliation tool. ● Loan settlement is conducted by the dedicated CLO operations staff member. ● Chenavari does not provide supplemental investor reporting.

118 Commerzbank Debt Fund Management


● Investment-grade-rated and well-resourced parent. ● Pragmatic approach to business development by launching progressively more managed CLOs

until it reaches the status of a fully active CLO manager. ● Increasing number of loan investment vehicles and invested issuers, which brings the challenge

of maintaining quality of analytical work, credit selectivity and the current low ratio of invested issuers to credit analysts.

Company ● DFM, a division of Commerzbank AG, is dedicated to European leveraged loan investment and

management. It benefits from the wider resources of the bank while functioning as a segregated entity.

● The bank has been originating and investing in leveraged loans since 1998. ● DFM comprises five staff (and one open position) with an average of approximately nine years’

experience. DFM staff performs both analytical and operational activities, although DFM plans to add additional staff and to separate functions as the business grows.

● DFM uses an originator structure for its risk retention strategy. CLO assets are purchased in the open market and warehoused in BCL, a special purpose vehicle owned by the bank.

Investments ● The investment process involves three steps, starting with a portfolio manager review, followed

by detailed analytical work and finally presentation to the investment committee. ● The credit selection process is based on fundamental, bottom-up financial analysis. The portfolio

manager is responsible for incorporating top-down views into the analysis and in portfolio construction. DFM uses the bank’s internal rating model to generate ratings on invested issuers.

● Credit research is documented in detailed memos of good quality based on a standardized template, with clear credit recommendations.

● Continuous portfolio monitoring via weekly portfolio discussions, monthly analyst updates on issuer financials and full portfolio review, and annual updates of the bank’s rating model and the credit analysis. DFM maintains a watchlist of weaker/underperforming issuers and will typically sell early rather than wait for material underperformance to emerge.

● Binary decision on issuer eligibility, based solely on credit. Investment committee decisions are documented and require a unanimous vote. Turndown rate of approximately 72% on average.

Controls ● DFM is physically separated from the rest of the bank and operates on a separated file structure,

thus providing effective control over information flows and mitigating conflict-of-interest risk. ● The bank’s leveraged finance risk officer is a permanent member of the credit committee,

structurally embedding risk in the investment process. ● Commerzbank-originated loans make up a minimal portion of DFM’s assets under management. ● DFM is effectively public or private only on any name, which mitigates information risk. ● Pre- and post-trade CLO compliance testing is effected via Wall Street Office (WSO).

Operations ● CLO administration is conducted by the DFM team directly. ● Loan settlement is conducted by a dedicated loan settlement team of seven staff based in

Luxembourg, based on standard processes and templates. ● Cash is reconciled daily and on trading; positions monthly. ● DFM does not provide supplemental CLO investor reporting.

Technology ● DFM benefits from the substantial IT resources of the bank and uses the bank’s proprietary loan

rating model. The main CLO management system is WSO, which is widely accepted by the industry.

● Detailed business continuity and disaster recovery plans are in place and tested, and include offsite server storage and backups.

122 CQS Investment Management Limited


● Active trading style with a particular focus on relative value. ● Legacy of higher conviction — and consequentially less diversified — portfolios than some peers. ● Relatively low CLO and loan AUM compared with peers, mitigated by the firm’s wider activities. ● Multiple different trading strategies across the firm necessitating effective information barriers and

compliance oversight, notably relating to the management of public and private data.Company

● CQS was established in 1999, primarily as a hedge fund manager focusing initially on convertible arbitrage, but subsequently diversifying into other strategies, both long-only and long-short.

● CQS is a single-owner privately held company, but it benefits from the presence and oversight of a supervisory board of both executive and non-executive directors. A succession plan is in place that involves both the supervisory board and the firm’s governing committees (strategy board and executive committee), of which the full biographies can be requested.

● The secured loan investment team has grown over time to three portfolio managers (PMs) and six analysts. It draws on CQS’s broader (public) research group of 16 analysts.

● Regarding risk retention strategy, CQS Investment Management Limited is a MiFID investment firm authorized by the Financial Conduct Authority acting in the capacity of CLO sponsor. It invests via vertical strips.

Investments ● The investment process is formalized into four stages, based on bottom-up fundamental credit

selection. Decline rate of around 60% overall in 2014 and 2015. ● The credit research is documented in standardized memos of sufficient quality, with clear

recommendations. ● The investment committee determines issuer eligibility, while the PMs determine position sizing. ● CQS conducts monthly full portfolio monitoring, summarized in email updates on performance

against budget and base case alongside relevant key performance indicators. There is increased monitoring of weaker names on an enhanced coverage list, while names on a formal watchlist are considered for sale only.

Controls ● CQS can and will invest both in private and public debt, rigorously overseen by a global compliance

function of seven staff. ● Private data are managed through a combination of physical separation and compliance

initiatives. Private data are maintained in segregated folders accessible only with permission from compliance, and there is a separate area for private data analysis, along with other controls. Compliance conducts specialist training on managing public/private data issues. It has a suite of reports to track data access and evidence of trade rationale for potentially conflicted issuers. European PMs are FCA approved persons.

● Compliance policies are documented in detailed manuals.Operations

● High degree of integration with trustee using a web-based reconciliation platform provided by Indus Valley Partners, resulting in automated daily position, cash and test reconciliation.

● Industry-standard CLO/loan administrative tool: Wall Street Office (WSO). ● Forty-three-person administration team globally, with three loan specialists. ● Proprietary tools for automated error checking of monthly trustee reports. ● CQS provides supplemental investor information, on an ad hoc basis if requested, and portfolio/

market commentary monthly with each trustee report.Technology

● Integrated and flexible platform based on a combination of proprietary systems (Levfin) and third-party administration systems, including widely accepted industry systems such as WSO.

risk framework and methodology. ● Separate risk group produces reports providing a detailed and comprehensive image of portfolio

compositions, including complete performance attribution analysis. ● Independent control functions throughout, including numerous committees supporting the team. ● Portfolios typically are more diverse than industry averages, with the investment process resulting

in average weightings of 0.6% and 0.8% for U.S. and European CLOs, respectively.Operations

U.S. CLO Risk Retention StrategyPreferred Form of Interest Not providedPreferred Structure Not providedOverall Self-Described Risk Retention Strategy In 2015 Crescent approved a risk retention strategy that

comprised a majority-owned affiliate invested in a vertical financed strip. This strategy was still dependent on the availability of third-party CLO equity for the portion of the equity tranche not held as part of the vertical strip. In light of recent market conditions where the availability of such third-party equity has been greatly reduced, Crescent has recently come to believe that its 2015 risk retention strategy could potentially only support a business plan of one CLO per year. In 2016 Crescent is revisiting its strategy and may determine that it would like to be able to execute on a business plan that contemplates something closer to two to three CLOs per year. If Crescent does make this determination, then it would most likely proceed with identification of a strategic partner(s) and the establishment of a capitalized manager vehicle.

Crescent Capital Group LPCrescent Capital Group LP (Crescent) was organized as an employee-owned asset management firm in 2010. It had originally been formed as Crescent Capital Corporation in 1991, subsequently becoming the leveraged finance arm of The TCW Group, Inc. (TCW) in 1995. Following the most recent reorganization, Crescent has continued to manage certain assets on behalf of TCW and its subsidiaries. As of Dec. 31, 2015, Crescent had approximately $18 billion in assets under management (AUM).

● Long track record in European loan and CLO management, including demonstrated experience of realizing a CLO from inception to call.

● Robust control structure. ● Re-entrant to the European CLO market with an existing base of static, amortizing CLOs. ● Partial use of an outsourced credit research team.

Company ● GLG Partners has been managing CLOs and loans since 2002 (originally as RMF Investments

and later as Pemba Credit Advisers AG). ● GLG Partners is a multistrategy platform with strategies across all major asset classes. ● GLG Partners’ investor base is diversified by type and geography. ● The credit team is supported by an outsourced credit analysis function provided by Copal Amba,

with three analysts and one team leader dedicated to the CLO management team (plus other analysts dedicated to the broader credit team).

● Regarding its risk retention strategy, GLG Partners is authorized under MiFID and operates an originator structure in terms of the CRD IV/CLO risk retention requirements.

Investments ● The investment process comprises initial screening and full (credit) due diligence stages, based

on bottom-up fundamental credit analysis. It also incorporates a legal due diligence step once credit approval has been granted.

● The process begins with a screening stage that seeks to filter out transactions that would be unlikely to pass the full credit analysis.

● The second stage is a full credit due diligence, factoring in fundamental credit analysis (notably financial modeling), macro views and technical analysis. This process results in the production of a standardized, succinct credit memo that is presented to the CLO investment committee.

● CLO investment committee approvals are recorded in a central spreadsheet. Operational risk associated with the update of the spreadsheet is mitigated by close management oversight and the fact that a unanimous investment committee vote is required to add an issuer.

● The rejection rate was approximately 45% overall as of February 2015. ● GLG Credit tends to favor more diversified portfolios than some peers.

Controls ● Public/private data are managed in accordance with defined policies and compliance oversight. ● Pre- and post-trade compliance testing is effected via CDO Suite. ● The overall risk governance framework is robust. It clearly identifies the risks to which Man is

exposed, its risk appetite and risk management responsibility and details the monitoring of risk indicators and controls. Risk and compliance functions are well staffed.

Operations ● CLO and loan administration is conducted by a dedicated team of three. ● Cash is reconciled daily and on trading; positions are reconciled weekly. ● GLG Credit provides supplemental CLO investor reporting.

Technology ● GLG Credit’s IT platform integrates several third-party systems, notably SharePoint and CDO

Suite, via a central data warehouse. Front-office portfolio management and analysis tools are Excel based.

● Detailed business continuity and disaster recovery plans are in place and tested, and include offsite server storage and backups.

● Resources to the CLO platform are strong, given historical growth of AUM and product diversification. The firm is not significantly dependent on future CLO issuance to drive profitability.

● The employee ownership structure leads to stability among staff and retention of talent amid increasing industry competition.

● The GoldenTree brand may be exposed to key man risk tied to Steve Tananbaum, the firm’s managing partner and chief investment officer, and Frederick Haddad, a senior portfolio manager (PM) and executive committee member.

Company ● Product lines include both absolute return and long-only strategies. Bank loans under management

amounted to $8.9 billion, with $5.9 billion across 11 CLOs (including one European CLO). ● GoldenTree is 100% employee owned, and compensation is tied to performance of the company

as a whole, which has led to organizational stability. ● The firm has a seasoned investment team with an average of 17 years of industry experience,

including seven years spent working together. ● The firm’s significant market presence in the European Union facilitates additional diligence in

regional credit markets.Investments

● The firm actively manages its portfolio with a focus on total returns through bottom-up fundamental value investing. The flat organizational structure results in analysts having more ownership of investment decisions, fluid communication across the investment team and a more informal approach to decision making. All analysts have sell authority.

● Nineteen analysts are allocated by sector. In addition, 11 investment professionals are responsible for the firm’s distressed and structured products investments.

● The credit selection criteria mandate a strong enterprise value and, on average, a minimum margin of safety for all investments of at least 2.0x minimum asset coverage.

● All credits are ranked for relative value against existing loan holdings through a proprietary system (Prism). Views on relative value are updated on a daily basis, and formal credit reviews occur as companies report earnings.

Controls ● The risk management team is responsible for stress testing the portfolio and overseeing

maintenance of cushions against CLO-specific limits. Controls are embedded in key systems. ● Pre- and post-trade relative-value analysis is performed at both the trade and portfolio level. ● Risk management reporting and oversight functions are executed at various times (daily, weekly,

monthly and quarterly). ● GoldenTree has compliance and governance processes and policies in place to support accuracy

of trading, portfolio management and administration functions.Operations

● Twenty-one dedicated fund accounting employees assist with CLO management. Administrative capabilities reflect highly qualified staff interacting with appropriate systems and processes.

● Investor reporting includes monthly reports featuring information about particular products. CLO information is accessed through the trustee.

Technology ● The firm has 27 dedicated technology employees. ● Portfolio management and credit analysis are conducted in-house, facilitated through the use of

a proprietary tool called Gweb, which is used by analysts to submit orders, review portfolios and view historical analysis. Models are run daily to ensure compliance with CLO tests.

● The firm employs an integrated and flexible platform based on a combination of proprietary analytics and third-party administration systems, including widely accepted industry systems such as Wall Street Office, STaARS (reconciliation system), Charles River and VPM.

● Highly diversified credit asset management business with access to retail and institutional investors across many market segments.

● One of the industry’s largest secured loan managers by AUM, which provides dealer coverage, strong new issue allocations and good execution.

● Maintaining stability among key staff and preserving talent pool amid increasing industry competition will be ongoing challenges.

Company ● GSO acquired Harbourmaster in 2012. Harbourmaster was one of the first entrants to the

European CLO management industry. ● CLOs are core to CCS’s loan management strategy. ● GSO had over 300 employees as of Dec. 31, 2015, of which 138 were investment professionals.

The global CCS team comprised 62 professionals. Globally, CCS portfolio managers (PMs) and research analysts averaged 17 years and 12 years of experience, respectively.

● The investment team has been generally stable, with a presence in New York, Dublin and London. Investments

● The investment process is based on a bottom-up fundamental approach, with a focus on credit research and technical inputs.

● Twenty-seven syndicated credit research analysts cover credits by industry and are grouped together into teams headed by team leaders in the U.S. and by the head of credit research in Europe. Average of 25–40 names per analyst. In addition, four structured credit analysts cover 24 issuers on average.

● Credits are approved by the relevant investment committee, which meets daily and comprises senior credit analysts and PMs.

the flow of information between the private equity and credit businesses. Blackstone-sponsored deals make up a relatively low share of GSO’s overall investment portfolio.

GSO system used for compliance monitoring, current and historical trading, holdings information and profit and loss activity.

Street Office (WSO) and Black Mountain Everest for performing credit analysis. ● Dedicated CLO compliance team that populates and distributes numerous weekly reports,

including compliance tests and asset rating changes. ● Investor reporting includes quarterly commentary as well as monthly trustee reports, all available

on the trustee website.Technology

U.S. CLO Risk Retention StrategyPreferred Form of Interest Varying on a deal-by-deal basisPreferred Structure Majority-owned affiliate of managerOverall Self-Described Risk Retention Strategy Guggenheim has been working on putting in place an

integrated platform to address both European and U.S. risk retention requirements. This platform will have permanent institutional capital to fund the acquisition of assets for CLOs as well as risk retention securities. It is expected to have an aggregate capacity to enable Guggenheim to do four to five U.S./European CLOs per year, which is its annual quota. The loan acquisition and financing entity will be domiciled in Europe and be the primary vehicle for satisfying the risk retention capital requirements. A majority-owned subsidiary will be established in the U.S. to satisfy the U.S. risk retention requirements. Given its permanent capital base, the European entity will be able to provide financing to the U.S. entity for acquisition of risk retention securities as well as other types of assets with recourse provided by the U.S. to such borrowings. It is expected that a component of a U.S. affiliate to the European entity will raise rated capital that will constitute a portion of the permanent capital raised.

● Benefits from resources of global enterprise with substantial scale. ICG is the longest established European CLO manager, and one of the largest.

● Advanced, proprietary integrated technology platform. ● Challenge remains to successfully grow and maintain U.S. presence via strategic development of

business through funds, mandates and CLOs.Company

● A global investment firm, ICG specializes in mezzanine finance, minority equity, leveraged senior loans and high-yield bonds and has recently launched a direct lending offering. It manages third-party money through closed- and open-end funds, separate mandates and CLOs.

● ICG was founded in 1989 and listed on the London Stock Exchange in 1994. It has been managing European CLOs since 1999, making it the longest established CLO manager in Europe. Its U.S. CLO management experience is newer, dating to 2014.

and seven portfolio managers (PMs) in total (including four specialist leveraged loan PMs). PMs average 17 years of industry experience, and credit analysts 14 years.

Investments ● Bottom-up fundamental credit research and formal committee-based approval of credit limits, with

a bias toward investments that are senior in the capital structure, generate sustainable free cash flow and are well collateralized.

● Strong institutional parent in KKR. Diversified business and product lines furnish the ability to leverage scale across a broad selection of investment opportunities and companies.

● Considerable U.S. and European CLO investment resources and experienced staff. Overall CLO platform capabilities have expanded due to Avoca Capital (Avoca) acquisition in 2014.

● Managing potential conflicts of interest by maintaining the company’s effective wall of separation between the CLO platform and KKR’s private equity business.

● Considerations to effectively leverage newer resources in Europe.Company

● In 2004, KKR began pursuing debt investments and, among other activities, formed KAM, its marketable securities and alternative investment division. In 2014, KAM became KKR Credit, which manages across various credit market segments, including bank loans, high-yield bonds, CLOs, directly originated senior-secure lending, mezzanine debt and special situations/distressed investments.

● Avoca was formed in 2002 and launched its first European CLO in 2003; a series of subsequent CLOs followed thereafter. It began managing mutual funds and mandates in 2009. Upon its acquisition, Avoca brought approximately €6.2 billion in AUM to KKR and lifted the number of industry analysts on KKR Credit’s global leveraged credit team to 27 (16 U.S. analysts and 11 European analysts).

● KKR Credit has been managing broadly syndicated loan CLOs since 2005. KKR is a majority owner of the equity tranches in all of KKR Credit’s U.S. CLOs as a result of the April 2014 acquisition of KKR Financial Holdings LLC.

Investments ● KKR Credit’s investment philosophy is value oriented, with a focus on fundamentals, strong credit

selection and avoiding mistakes. ● Clearly articulated investment process that is strictly adhered to, beginning with a prescreening

phase, which filters out the majority of issuers and focuses the detailed credit analysis on those issuers for which an investment is more probable. The process concludes at the credit committee, which makes credit and investment decisions.

● Daily credit meetings provide a forum for discussion among the portfolio managers, credit analysts and traders.

● All credits are monitored in real time, with news and analyst updates disseminated firmwide through Black Mountain Everest systems.

Controls ● Potential conflicts of interest are managed through a global conflicts committee. Specific rules

govern how debt funds can invest in KKR-originated transactions, notably a rule limiting debt funds to a maximum holding of 19.9% of any debt class issued by a portfolio company, absent explicit approval from the conflicts committee.

● All procedures are well documented, including those governing the management of public and private data.

Operations ● A CLO-dedicated operations staff performs a three-way daily cash and position reconciliation with

both the Wall Street Office compliance module and CLO indenture trustees. ● High degree of integration with the trustee resulting from the advanced technology in place. ● Prior to execution, KKR Credit runs all prospective trades through a robust pretrade compliance

process to determine CLO suitability.Technology

● KKR Credit’s CLO platform has built on its parent’s significant investment in technology to create proprietary models and fundamental tools that help automate research and surveillance functions. Systems and technology platform are scalable and were developed to handle growth in CLO issuance.

● A variety of technology solutions are utilized, including Black Mountain Everest systems. Third-party feeds are incorporated to support day-to-day management of the CLOs.

● The investment strategy is to find the best performing credits, with recovery given default a primary focus, which may mean the company is comfortable working through restructuring or investing in names the broader market may be selling due to credit concerns.

● Senior portfolio management staff with depth and experience in loan investing. ● Steady and focused hiring in all areas, including underwriting and operations. ● Strong operations, compliance and CLO administration platform. ● As a smaller CLO issuer, establishing additional performance track record and organizational

history is key; however, this is mitigated by Monroe’s senior management’s extensive experience and the stable performance of the firm’s existing CLOs.

Company ● Monroe was established in 2004, has eight offices located across the U.S. and is 100% owned by

its senior management team. ● Senior management team averages 25-plus years’ industry experience. ● In addition to its three outstanding CLOs with approximately $850 million in loan assets, Monroe

oversees roughly $1.9 billion in directly originated loans through private capital vehicles. An affiliate, Monroe Capital BDC Advisors, LLC, also operates a business development company (NASDAQ: MRCC) with assets at approximately $347 million.

● Monroe believes its participation across both the middle market and broadly syndicated loan market is a competitive advantage.

● Monroe typically participates in the equity shares of each of its CLO transactions.Investments

● The investment team has approximately 30 professionals with an average of more than 16 years of credit, private equity and investment experience.

● Monroe relies on fundamental analysis supplemented by quantitative analytics and portfolio management techniques.

● Seven-member formal investment committee, with unanimous approval required. ● Healthy deal flow of over 2,000 transactions annually, of which only 150–200 transactions will

ultimately receive investment committee approval. ● Underwriters typically cover between 15 and 20 companies depending on type (directly originated

versus broadly syndicated); Monroe has also added junior analysts to support senior underwriters. ● Monroe utilizes an internal rating system to identify credits in need of heightened attention. Monthly

and quarterly meetings are held with investment committee, portfolio managers and analysts to discuss the portfolio and individual credits. Ratings from 1–5 are continuously maintained and determine if corrective action will be necessary.

Controls ● Risk management is managed by the chief compliance officer as well as the managing director of

operations and compliance. ● Daily portfolio compliance is conducted by both the portfolio management team and Monroe’s

compliance group. ● Monroe has engaged a third-party SEC compliance consultant, Blue River, to assist with

maintaining strict adherence to various regulations. ● Monroe maintains appropriate separation of publicly and privately available information when

making investment decisions.Operations

● Monroe has a dedicated 14-member compliance/operations/finance team led by a managing director with over 23 years of credit/compliance/finance experience.

● Operations staff performs daily reconciliation of CLO cash and positions through CDO Sentry and the trustee. CDO Sentry is used to feed monthly management reporting. Operations staff is also responsible for daily cash management and interaction with agent banks.

● Overall operations platform appears to be highly scalable for a growing CLO portfolio.Technology

● Ongoing maintenance and support of IT systems and network are provided by Netrix LLC. ● CDO Sentry support is provided by ClearStructure. ● Remote access to the Monroe network is provided for employees.

Overall Self-Described Risk Retention Strategy NBFI has spent a significant amount of time exploring multiple solutions to satisfy the upcoming risk retention requirements. NBFI has engaged a leading law firm to help it set up a new collateralized majority-owned affiliate (C-MOA) and is in active dialogue with a number of investors to partner with them in its solution. NBFI anticipates the C-MOA retaining the risk retention holdings in the CLOs it will manage in the form of CLO equity (that is, a horizontal slice). NBFI is targeting capitalizing the C-MOA with approximately $250 million of combined capital from Neuberger Berman and third-party investors, which NBFI expects to be sufficient to fund the risk retention holdings in eight to 10 CLOs managed by the C-MOA.

● Experienced credit team focused on a small number of credits. Diversified portfolio in terms of sector and obligor concentration, with an emphasis on first-lien senior-secured loans.

● Recent formation of venture with other large managers to expand middle-market lending and asset management activities.

● Continued growth of CLO business could be pressured given middle-market loan supply/demand dynamics.

Company ● Established in 2004, and with approximately $6.9 billion in AUM as of Dec. 31, 2015, NewStar is

a publicly held C corporation (NASDAQ: NEWS) that focuses on middle-market leveraged loans. ● Venture formed in late 2014 with GSO Capital Partners (the credit division of Blackstone) and

Franklin Square Capital Partners, via an investment of long-term capital, has helped expand NewStar’s middle-market lending and asset management activities.

● In October 2015, NewStar acquired Feingold O’Keeffe Capital, a Boston-based alternative investment manager focused on broadly syndicated liquid loans with $2.3 billion of AUM through CLOs, credit hedge funds and customized accounts.

Investments ● Disciplined and well-documented credit process that includes a prescreen to identify all areas of

weakness, an underwriting committee to conduct more in-depth analysis and assign an internal rating, and an investment committee to manage the final approval process.

● Investment objective is focused on target markets with defensive industry orientation, consistent and predictable cash flows and businesses with strong and sustainable competitive advantage.

● CreditWizard, NewStar’s proprietary rating system, assigns ratings on a 1–12 scale and combines a quantitative rating platform with a qualitative scorecard.

● The hold-to-maturity strategy results in strong credit discipline and minimal portfolio trading. However, it also results in greater participation in the resource-intensive workout process.

Controls ● Strong focus on compliance from being publicly listed and registered. ● Adequate back- and middle-office resources ensure efficient and adequate management of CLOs

and industry-standard controls. ● Formalized, heightened monthly review and surveillance for potential problem credits, which are

assigned a monitored, watchlist or high-attention credit designation. ● Third-party vendor performs complete internal audit of all functions, providing additional oversight.

Operations ● NewStar has 16 employees focusing on its compliance function; six of them are dedicated

specifically to loan administration. ● Daily reconciliation of cash and securities with trustee. Strong relationship and constant

communication with U.S. Bank, as trustee. Portfolio managers receive monthly reconciliation with trustee report for review.

● Administrative capabilities reflect the highly qualified and experienced staff interacting with appropriate systems and processes.

Technology ● NewStar utilizes both proprietary and best-in-class systems, including CreditWizard (an internal

rating system that combines a quantitative rating platform with a qualitative scorecard system to determine obligor risk ratings and loss given default), Everest and Wall Street Office.

● Robust business continuity plan includes hourly backup that is rotated among various servers located across the country. Additionally, hard copies are stored with Iron Mountain on a daily basis, and all systems are accessible remotely.

Fitch ViewKey Considerations

● Global sub-investment-grade specialist manager with strong firmwide resources. ● Experienced investment staff utilizing a flexible and robust investment process. ● Demonstrating that relevant systems and processes are sufficiently robust to meet the specific

operational and compliance requirements of managing European CLOs remains an ongoing challenge.

Company ● Oaktree manages European senior loans and high-yield bonds via Oaktree Capital

Management (UK) LLP. Most of Oaktree’s income has been derived from realized and unrealized gains on investments.

● The company has been managing European senior loans since 2009 as portions of pooled vehicles, within a SICAV structure and as separate managed accounts.

● The U.S. and European CLO teams employ 34 investment professionals. Twenty-eight are research analysts, three are traders and three are portfolio managers (PMs) who have no research responsibilities.

● The team averages 15 years’ investment experience. The U.S. senior loan co-PMs have 14 and 29 years’ investment experience, respectively; the European senior loan PM has 24 years’ investment experience.

Investments ● The investment process is rigorously focused on a company’s financial position and industry

market position. Top-down inputs will be incorporated into the modeling of key performance indicators, although no attempt is made to time markets.

● The use of a formalized credit scoring matrix differentiates Oaktree’s credit process from the peer norm. Each credit’s scoring matrix is updated at the time of any news flow or company announcement.

● Twenty-four senior analysts on the U.S. and European teams are organized by sector, with four junior analysts acting as generalists. The investment universe consists of 540 names across active U.S. and European CLOs. Each analyst actively monitors about 40–50 credits.

● Position sizing and portfolio diversification are at the discretion of the PMs. Sell decisions are based purely on analysis of the underlying credit and recovery potential, rather than predefined sell triggers.

Controls ● Overall risk oversight is effected through Oaktree’s compliance, legal, valuation and internal

audit teams. ● Oaktree prefers to be either public or private across the whole business. Appropriate controls

are in place in the case of exceptions. ● Firm-level governance framework is overseen by the board of directors. ● Oaktree is subject to regular external audits in addition to internal audits. No material findings

have been noted.Operations

● Oaktree’s systems do not have straight-through processing with the trustee. Instead, files are sent via FTP to the trustee daily to reconcile cash and holdings automatically using SunGard IntelliMatch.

● Loan settlement is conducted by Oaktree’s trade support teams in the U.S. (24 professionals) and Europe (five professionals).

● CLO compliance testing is effected through CDO Suite. Supplemental reporting for Oaktree products is available in the form of periodic investment commentary.

Technology ● Main system used is THS, a proprietary trade order management and compliance system,

with Geneva, a third-party application, used as the main accounting system. ● Feeds to some third-party systems (such as the BNY Mellon trustee system) are not fully

automated. The data feed between THS and CDO Suite is not automated either. Oaktree is developing HTML solutions to enable this.

Overall Self-Described Risk Retention Strategy Och-Ziff expects to comply by the second half of 2016 and is currently evaluating different options for Risk Retention. The firm anticipates it will fund its European CLO interest directly from the manager. With respect to its U.S. CLOs, the firm is evaluating third-party options for 2016. The most likely outcomes are the direct manager investment and majority-owned affiliate options. If one of these options is elected, Och-Ziff would expect the funding structure to be as follows:Direct Manager Investment: 100% manager’s cash. Direct Manager Investment: 25% manager’s cash; 75% third-party financing.Majority-Owned Affiliate: 10%–20% manager’s cash; 80%–90% third-party financing.

Overall Self-Described Risk Retention Strategy In February 2016, Conning & Company (Conning), a Hartford, CT-based investment management firm, acquired 82% of Octagon. Per the terms of the Conning transaction, Conning has included a certain capital commitment to help meet future risk retention requirements (as they relate to CLO funds). At present, Octagon anticipates complying via the purchase of a vertical strip, in which Octagon would fund 1% of the 5% total retention amount with cash and finance the remaining 4% with debt financing. While the CLO market will undoubtedly change in the coming years and views will likely evolve with respect to risk retention solutions, the capital commitment from Conning should give investors comfort that Octagon can appropriately meet the requirements for some time into the future.

The Fitch View Key Considerations

● Benefits of scale as part of a major global asset manager with large global fixed-income and CLO AUM.

● Stable, experienced and tenured portfolio management and credit teams. ● Long global track record and established procedures for CLO management and administration. ● Ongoing challenges will be maintaining credit selectivity and efficiently allocating credit research

resources as coverage grows.Company

● PGIM has been managing U.S. CLOs since 2002 and European CLOs since 2006. It has demonstrated its commitment to the CLO market through continued additions of CLO management mandates and acquisition of CLO management mandates as replacement manager.

● PGIM’s investor base is highly diversified by region and sector, with no notable client concentrations. ● Stable senior management and credit and portfolio management teams; majority of key staff with

long tenures. ● The European leveraged finance research team comprised seven analysts as of December 2015

plus the head of European credit research, part of a considerably larger global credit research function. Team members average 12 years’ experience.

Investments ● Formalized credit research process incorporating top-down and bottom-up elements. ● Top-down provided by in-house macro-economic research unit of five experienced global

economists complemented by two highly experienced global fixed-income strategists. ● Bottom-up industry and fundamental issuer research covering asset quality, capital structure

and covenants results in scoring of trends and internal ratings, which are updated according to schedule or market events.

● Credit research covers the majority of the European leveraged issuer market. Credit research analysts are organized by sector.

● Credit committee with representatives from credit and portfolio management teams responsible for credit approval. The credit research function retains veto over all issuers.

● PGIM turns down approximately two-thirds of new issues. ● Portfolio construction driven by relative-value rankings determined by portfolio managers within

eligible investment universe determined by credit process and structural constraints.Controls

● Overall risk control framework based on independent risk management and quantitative research function (58 analysts) and group compliance resources (43 staff as of December 2015).

● PGIM is either public or private on all issuers, with the result that it has no conflicts of interest. Credit and compliance oversee the cleansing process where an issuer goes public.

● Pre- and post-trade CLO compliance testing is effected via Moody’s Wall Street Analytics.Operations

● All trades are reconciled with the trustee; daily cash reconciliation and monthly position reconciliation. Straight-through processing to trustee.

● Dedicated settlements team based in London (four loans, two bonds) with wider global resources. ● Well-resourced global operational team of 186 staff as of December 2015 supporting the credit

and portfolio management functions.Technology

● PGIM uses Aladdin (BlackRock) for all fixed-income instruments. Aladdin is fed by various third-party systems (such as Markit Partners and others for pricing) and an internal credit research module, Galileo. WSO is used for CLO management and Intex for portfolio modeling and stress testing.

● A robust business continuity and disaster recovery plan is in place and regularly tested.

● Strong control environment, reflecting the family-owned ethos of the business. ● Good access to information resulting from the (well-controlled) interaction with Rothschild Group’s

strong advisory franchise.Company

● Rothschild Group conducts its CLO management activities through a dedicated subsidiary under its merchant banking division. It also manages unlevered funds and separate accounts.

● Rothschild Group has been investing in European LBO debt since 1989 on balance sheet, although it largely ceased balance sheet loan investment activities in 2010. It has actively managed CLOs since 2007 and acquired Elgin Capital in 2011.

● All of the ownership interests of U.S. CLO manager West Gate Horizons Advisors, LLC and the firm’s five CLOs were acquired by Rothschild North America Holdings, Inc. in September 2015. The resulting CLO management entity in the U.S. will be known as Rothschild Credit Management (North America).

● The European credit management team comprises 19 staff, based in London. The credit research team consists of seven staff, and there are two dedicated loan traders.

Investments ● The investment process is continuous, based on fundamental bottom-up credit analysis that

is formalized in a weekly credit forum and an investment committee comprising executive and non-executive members.

● Credit research documented in standardized memos of good quality, with clear credit recommendations. Rothschild Group benefits from its access to information via the advisory business (subject to strict compliance oversight).

● There are a total of five portfolio managers (PMs), one of whom is responsible for European CLOs and one for U.S. CLOs. Some of the PMs also have credit monitoring responsibilities.

● Turndown rate of approximately 75% on average. ● PMs are responsible for position sizing, taking into consideration relative value and diversification.

● Compliance actively and carefully manages advisory relationships via a “grey list” and compliance oversight/chaperoning of meetings between the CLO management team and other areas of the business (advisory and private equity). Furthermore, the CLO team is effectively public or private only on any name, which mitigates information risk.

● Pre- and post-trade controls are effected via Nexus (see below).Operations

Technology ● Nexus, provided by Virtus, is the key portfolio and CLO management solution, combined with

Excel portfolio monitoring tools. Nexus provides hypothetical-trade functionality and full cash and position reconciliation. Pricing feeds are from Markit and Bloomberg.

● Strong credit selection and analytics supported by operating advisory board. ● Competition with larger loan managers for investment allocations for loans, partly due to current

market constraints.Company

● Strategic partnerships with and investment by large financial services groups. ● First CLO launched in 2015, but depth of CLO management experience of lead CLO portfolio

manager (PM). ● Principal investment capability with sufficient capital to support the issuance of multiple CLOs. ● Maintaining market access/allocations is a challenge, mitigated by the presence of dedicated deal

origination staff and Tikehau’s activities in other sectors. ● Potential reliance on the lead PM and credit research analysts focused on loans, mitigated by a

second CLO PM recruited in July 2015 and support from the broader network of analysts around the group.

Company ● CLOs are an important part of the group’s strategy, notably in terms of further expanding Tikehau’s

coverage of the credit space and further diversifying its investor base. The group has allocated sufficient capital to the CLO business to support large risk retention stakes and the issuance of multiple CLOs.

● The CLO PM is Debra Anderson, who has 28 years’ experience, most recently at GSO/Blackstone. ● Tikehau has set a maximum of 20–25 loans per analyst, or 40–45 high-yield bond issuers.

Investments ● The investment process involves two stages, an initial screening phase followed by detailed due

diligence. The approach emphasizes fundamental, bottom-up credit analysis. ● The process begins with a screening stage, which aims to filter out unsuitable transactions and is

documented in a one-page memo. ● The second-stage credit committee memo is standardized, typically 10–15 pages long with

summary details, financials, key credit highlights and risks and a clear recommendation. The memo also provides additional supporting materials along with model analysis (base, flat and stress cases).

● Investment approvals at committees are unanimous, with the credit committee resulting in a binary decision (buy/do not buy) and the investment committee determining maximum investment size.

● Monitoring is ongoing, effected by the credit analyst based on a monthly/quarterly review of issuer data and the use of simple internal ratings.

● Tikehau will determine its involvement in workouts on a case-by-case basis. Controls

● Tikehau is regulated by multiple entities, notably the AMF and FCA, among others. ● An independent risk management function reports to the board. ● Tikehau maintains walls of separation between its private debt investment business and other

parts of the firm. Public/private status and the management of related information are overseen by compliance. Tikehau is public only if it invests in a public security, such as high-yield bonds.

● Tikehau has a compliance function comprising three dedicated staff members in France. TCEL has a dedicated compliance officer who is supported by an external compliance consultant.

Operations ● CLO administration and loan administration are based on Wall Street Office (WSO). The function

is outsourced to Markit Partners under a service-level agreement. TCEL maintains in-house oversight and controls.

● Cash and positions are reconciled daily. CLO compliance testing effected via WSO. Trading is effected by the PMs.

Technology ● Tikehau’s IT environment is scalable and well integrated, comprising multiple third-party tools. ● The main CLO management system is WSO. ● Loan price data are sourced from Markit and Thomson Reuters. ● A robust business continuity and disaster recovery plan is in place and regularly tested.

Overall Self-Described Risk Retention Strategy ZAIS has partnered with a long-term investor in a majority-owned affiliate structure with capital commitments of $100 million to issue future risk retention compliant CLOs beginning with ZAIS CLO 5, Limited.

ZAIS Group, LLCZAIS Group, LLC (ZAIS) was established in 1997 by Christian Zugel. As of Dec. 31, 2015, it had approximately $4.157 billion in assets under management (AUM) globally across corporate credit and mortgage-related specialized credit strategies. ZAIS currently manages three U.S. CLOs and is warehousing a fourth and fifth.

Z 356 ZAIS Group, LLC


Note: For holdings from Jan. 1, 2014 forward, ZAIS has revised its methodology for calculating AUM. Management believes the new methodology, which now includes assets in the warehouse phase for new structured vehicles and does not treat leverage and other operating liabilities as a reduction of AUM, more clearly reflects the total assets actively managed by ZAIS. In the above chart, AUM for 2013 is presented on a pro forma basis consistent with the revised methodology and AUM for 2014 is presented per the revised methodology. Further to the change in calculation methodology effective Jan. 1, 2014, ZAIS has clarified the AUM calculation for issued structured vehicles to exclude interest payable to investors, which cannot be managed by ZAIS.

Note: Certain entities’ values are set as of the last determination date specified in the applicable vehicles’ operative documents, which date was prior to the year end for which AUM is otherwise reported. Breakdown by investor type excludes non-fee payer investments, investments in ZAIS Financial Corp. and some structured vehicles where the investor breakdown is unknown.

Reproduction or retransmission in whole or in part is prohibited except by permission. All rights reserved. In issuing and maintaining its ratings and in making other reports (including forecast information), Fitch relies on factual information it receives from issuers and underwriters and from other sources Fitch believes to be credible. Fitch conducts a reasonable investigation of the factual information relied upon by it in accordance with its ratings methodology, and obtains reasonable verification of that information from independent sources, to the extent such sources are available for a given security or in a given jurisdiction. The manner of Fitch’s factual investigation and the scope of the third-party verification it obtains will vary depending on the nature of the rated security and its issuer, the requirements and practices in the jurisdiction in which the rated security is offered and sold and/or the issuer is located, the availability and nature of relevant public information, access to the management of the issuer and its advisers, the availability of pre-existing third-party verifications such as audit reports, agreed-upon procedures letters, appraisals, actuarial reports, engineering reports, legal opinions and other reports provided by third parties, the availability of independent and competent third-party verification sources with respect to the particular security or in the particular jurisdiction of the issuer, and a variety of other factors. Users of Fitch’s ratings and reports should understand that neither an enhanced factual investigation nor any third-party verification can ensure that all of the information Fitch relies on in connection with a rating or a report will be accurate and complete. Ultimately, the issuer and its advisers are responsible for the accuracy of the information they provide to Fitch and to the market in offering documents and other reports. In issuing its ratings and its reports, Fitch must rely on the work of experts, including independent auditors with respect to financial state-ments and attorneys with respect to legal and tax matters. Further, ratings and forecasts of financial and other information are inherently forward-looking and embody assumptions and predictions about future events that by their nature cannot be verified as facts. As a result, despite any verification of current facts, ratings and forecasts can be affected by future events or conditions that were not anticipated at the time a rating or forecast was issued or affirmed.

The information in this report is provided “as is” without any representation or warranty of any kind, and Fitch does not represent or warrant that the report or any of its contents will meet any of the requirements of a recipient of the report. A Fitch rating is an opinion as to the creditworthiness of a security. This opinion and reports made by Fitch are based on established criteria and methodologies that Fitch is continuously evaluating and updating. Therefore, ratings and reports are the collective work product of Fitch and no individual, or group of individuals, is solely responsible for a rating or a report. The rating does not address the risk of loss due to risks other than credit risk, unless such risk is specifically mentioned. Fitch is not engaged in the offer or sale of any security. All Fitch reports have shared authorship. Individuals identified in a Fitch report were involved in, but are not solely responsible for, the opinions stated therein. The individuals are named for contact purposes only. A report providing a Fitch rating is neither a prospectus nor a substitute for the information assembled, verified and presented to investors by the issuer and its agents in connection with the sale of the securities. Ratings may be changed or withdrawn at any time for any reason in the sole discretion of Fitch. Fitch does not provide investment advice of any sort. Ratings are not a recommendation to buy, sell, or hold any security. Ratings do not comment on the adequacy of market price, the suitability of any security for a particular investor, or the tax-exempt nature or taxability of payments made in respect to any security. Fitch receives fees from issuers, insurers, guarantors, other obligors, and underwriters for rating securities. Such fees generally vary from US$1,000 to US$750,000 (or the applicable currency equivalent) per issue. In certain cases, Fitch will rate all or a number of issues issued by a particular issuer, or insured or guaranteed by a particular insurer or guarantor, for a single annual fee. Such fees are expected to vary from US$10,000 to US$1,500,000 (or the applicable currency equivalent). The assignment, publication, or dissemination of a rating by Fitch shall not constitute a consent by Fitch to use its name as an expert in connection with any registration statement filed under the United States securities laws, the Financial Services and Markets Act of 2000 of the United Kingdom, or the securities laws of any particular jurisdiction. Due to the relative efficiency of electronic publishing and distribution, Fitch research may be available to electronic subscribers up to three days earlier than to print subscribers.
