Loan Strategy: Overview

Since 2001, Symphony Loan Strategies seek to provide superior risk adjusted
returns in various macroeconomic and market environments.

Symphony believes that the management of downside risk with a direct focus on principal protection is the key
to success in the management of loan portfolios
■■ The asymmetric return profile of the loan asset class cannot be ignored
■■ Security selection in catalyst-driven positions determined by in-depth, bottom-up fundamental analysis
■■ Relative value research leads to security selection and position sizing, in light of prevailing market conditions and technicals
■■ Carry expected to be main driver of return with opportunistic investment in total return opportunities
■■ Active approach focusing on large liquid names in the loan asset class

Risk Management
■■ Downside analysis conducted for every holding and aggregate portfolio subject to various scenario stress testing
■■ Portfolio invests in actively traded names to ensure appropriate liquidity
■■ Typical maximum issue size 5%; Industry concentration limited to 25% per industry

portfolio of predominantly senior secured loans.

Senior Loans ■■ Active approach to manage downside risk and make catalyst-oriented total return

focus on senior debt

PARAMETERS EXPECTED RANGE RISK LIMIT

CCC and lower 0% to 10%

Industry Concentration 5% to 20% per industry 25% in a single industry

JPM Loan Market Data* 2.82% 67.65%

*Loan market default rate was sourced from JP Morgan and pertains to North American loans reviewed by JP Morgan. Symphony’s default universe and recovery rate calculation methodologies may differ materially from JP Morgan’s. Symphony default
rates are calculated as the total loan par value that defaulted, divided by the ending par value of all loans at year-end, except that for the CLOs all invested assets and cash-equivalent are included. Symphony includes in its default calculation loans that
have stopped paying interest and does not include the loans of companies in bankruptcy which continue to make payments. Recovery rates are based on the first lien recovery and are calculated as the sum of all cash flows after the default date plus the
residual market value of the asset (as of 12/31/2016), divided by the weighted-average cost of the asset. Symphony began managing bank loans in November 2001. This analysis illustrates default rate information beginning in 2002. There were no

CRLN06
defaults in Symphony’s loan portfolios during the last two months of 2001. There is no guarantee that Symphony will be able to maintain such default and recovery rates relative to the loan market as measured by the JP Morgan data.

Long-Short Credit Strategy: Overview

Launched in 1999, the Symphony Long-Short Credit Strategy seeks to


provide superior risk adjusted returns in both up and down markets primarily
through investing long and short in high yield bonds.

Alpha Generation Through Credit Selection


■■ Portfolio comprised of catalyst-driven, high conviction individual single name positions
■■ Invests directionally in U.S. high yield bonds, investment grade bonds and credit default swaps through most efficient instruments possible
■■ Carry is not a major driver of returns: not invested in basis or senior/sub trades historically

Market Direction
■■ Bottom-up, fundamental process leads to trade selection complemented by active resizing of exposures to express conviction on macro themes
