3 Welcome to the sixth edition of Fitch Ratings CLO Asset Manager Handbook. This edition includes profile reports for 74 CLO managers, with all data and information presented in a standardized format as of YE16. 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 managers and European current or planned risk retention structures, where applicable, in the summary profiles. Additionally, the customary CLOs Under Management tables now also display individual CLOs and European risk retention structure type and form of investment (for example, vertical slice, horizontal and so on), where reported, in addition to Volcker and CRR compliance status. In the case of 64 managers, we 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 1H18, based on data as of YE17.

9 The Fitch View Key Considerations Benefits from support and resources of its parent company, CNO. Robust oversight and control environment. Experienced structured vehicle issuer, having managed 19 CDOs/CLOs since Committee process is ad hoc rather than formalized.

Allianz Global Investors 7

13 The Fitch View Key Considerations The company benefits from the substantial scale and resources of its strong and stable parent, Allianz Group: USD1.9 trillion in AUM (including PIMCO and AllianzGI), with a diversified asset and investor base. The company employs best-in-class risk management and compliance oversight, coupled with proprietary systems that integrate portfolio management tools, compliance and administrative functions. Maintaining consistent CLO AUM given runoff of legacy CLOs and challenging market conditions that affect new CLO issuance will be an ongoing challenge. Company The income and growth strategies team, responsible for overseeing CLOs, manages diversified strategies, including high yield, convertibles, CDOs (it has issued six CLOs since 2000) and traditional income and growth. Low senior management turnover, as evidenced by portfolio managers (PMs) on the team with an average of more than 24 years of industry experience and more than 16 years experience working together at AllianzGI. Four PMs supported by seven generalist research analysts. PMs average more than 19 years of experience with the company. AllianzGI has a diversified global investor base consisting of both institutional and retail investors. AllianzGI announced in December 2016 its agreement to acquire experienced CLO manager Sound Harbor Partners. The transaction is expected to close in the first quarter of Investments Buy-and-hold portfolio management strategy, with an underlying investment philosophy based on fundamental bottom-up research with a focus on minimizing credit risk. The team builds portfolios with a target of holding 120 names, all of equal weighting, focusing on credit selection in areas it views as having the best earnings visibility. Maintains internal ratings on all credits, based on eight factors: liquidity, capital structure, percentage of capitalization, asset utilization, coverage ratios, margins, cash flow and leverage ratios. Portfolios are constructed to consist of equally weighted positions, demonstrating equal conviction across names. Controls AllianzGI holds multiple risk monitoring reviews to ensure rule adherence. The culture is strongly focused on risk management due to the nature of the parent company s status as a large global insurer. The company has a deep risk management team, with more than 70 dedicated specialists globally who average more than 10 years of risk management experience. In addition to the presence of two compliance officers onsite who review all trades, an independent business risk group focuses on macro-level issues. Operations Three-way daily reconciliations are performed to tie out cash and positions among AllianzGI, Wall Street Office (WSO) and Bank, as trustee. Quarterly investor reporting includes the trustee report and a quarterly letter featuring market insight and commentary as well as deal-specific information. Administrative capabilities reflect the highly qualified and experienced staff interacting with appropriate systems and processes. Technology The integrated and flexible platform is based on a combination of proprietary Excel-based analytics and third-party administration systems, including widely accepted industry systems such as WSO. The business continuity plan is appropriate and tested. Multiple redundancies in the Dallas offices, Citrix, remote access and cloud servers have performed in disaster scenarios.

17 The Fitch View Key Considerations 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. Company As of Dec. 31, 2016, AMMC managed approximately USD4.5 billion of senior loans across nine CLOs. It has issued 19 CLOs since 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 16 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-andhold approach to investments. Analysts are given a great deal of responsibility, including 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 completed its SEC investment adviser registration process in 2012 and is 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 19 transactions since 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 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 capabilities for all employees have been implemented within the past year.

20 The Fitch View Key Considerations Strong historical AUM growth and focus on loan asset class across products ensure strong resources devoted to CLO platform.

Credits may be approved on an equal weight (1.0%), underweight (approximately 0.5%) or overweight (2.0%, with some exceptions up to 2.5%) basis. Controls Pre- and post-trade relative-value analysis at trade and portfolio level. Various daily, weekly, monthly and quarterly risk management reporting and oversight functions. Anchorage has compliance and governance processes and policies in place to support accuracy of trading, portfolio management and administration functions. Compliance team and reporting tools provide good support for risk and control data collection as well as Anchorage s reporting capabilities.

37 The Fitch View Key Considerations 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. 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 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 CLOs (since 1999) and has been managing European CLOs since Investments Credit selection process focuses on bottom-up fundamental research and relative-value determinations, requiring a majority vote of approval from 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. Each investment has a standardized investment guideline checklist (based on ratio analysis, credit quality and earnings predictability, among other factors). 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 research management system to store investment research along with the necessary financial metrics for each credit. Ares Management LLC 32

55 The Fitch View Key Considerations Strong, diversified business lines. One of the largest and European loan managers in terms of size and scale, which gives Barings LLC s CLO platform (formerly Babson Capital Management LLC) industry-leading access to markets and management of many product styles and provides diversified revenue streams. Proprietary and highly scalable systems combining portfolio management tools and compliance and administrative functions. CLO AUM has started to grow again with 1.0 CLOs assets largely wound down and regular issuance of 2.0 CLOs. Company In March 2016, Barings LLC (formerly known as Babson Capital Management LLC), its subsidiaries, Barings Real Estate Advisers LLC (formerly known as Cornerstone Real Estate Advisers LLC) and Wood Creek Capital Management, LLC (which merged with and into Barings LLC in September 2016), and Baring Asset Management Limited (BAML) announced their intention to combine under the Barings brand. The integration was concluded in September Barings LLC and its subsidiaries remain indirect, wholly owned subsidiaries of MassMutual. The global high-yield investments group has significant resources, with approximately 69 investment professionals and additional resources for support functions. There are 48 investment professionals, primarily based in Charlotte, NC, including 11 PMs, 28 research analysts, four dedicated traders and five product managers. There are 21 European investment professionals, all based in London, including four PMs, 13 research analysts, two dedicated traders and two product managers. Senior managers have extensive experience with CLOs, worked together prior to Barings (and predecessor entities) 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. Ideas sourced through large research staff and dedicated traders, both of whom are regularly in communication with portfolio managers through various communication channels. Analysts monitor both approved and non-approved names, with an average of 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 approved 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 Barings LLC s parent company, MassMutual. MassMutual regularly invests in the equity of new issue CLOs. In most cases, Barings LLC 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.

71 The Fitch View Key Considerations CLI is an independent U.K. limited liability partnership established by Cairn Capital in 2014 to build on its CLO management business. CLI has a robust risk management structure, with risk managers structurally embedded in the credit decision-making process through representation on the credit committee. Cairn Capital s CLO portfolio management team has been seconded to CLI and is responsible for portfolio management and credit decisions. Company CLI is authorized by the FCA as a MiFID investment firm, which, in its capacity as sponsor, is the collateral manager for all European CLOs and supporting warehouse arrangements brought to market by CLI. As of Feb. 23, 2017, CLI was managing five European CLOs with total AUM of EUR1.6 billion. Supporting functions, including credit research, IT, legal and compliance, operations, finance and risk management, have been outsourced to Cairn Capital. 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. 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 PM conviction, subject to a trading limit approved by the investment committee. The CLO investment team comprises two PMs, three London-based senior credit analysts and five outsourced credit analysts based in Mumbai. 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. CLI 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 resources in legal (four) and operations/treasury (three). Loan settlements are outsourced to Cortland Financial Services Limited. 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. CLI does not provide supplemental CLO investor reporting. Technology Integrated and flexible platform based on a combination of Cairn Capital s 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. Cairn Loan Investments LLP 66

The Carlyle Group 70

76 The Fitch View Key Considerations 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 is achieved by maintaining the company s information barrier between the CLO platform and CIM s private equity business. Company Communication across various business segments encourages knowledge sharing and allows for added industry insight. On average, analysts have over 15 years of experience and are responsible for covering between 40 and 50 credits, based on industry and experience. The investment team, consisting of 26 individuals, is responsible for 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 eight 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 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. Carlyle Global Credit leverages the entire CIM global network through intergroup knowledge sharing to broadly access the market, resulting in favorable primary market allocations. Ten credit research 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 invest in the equity in CLO transactions to align interest with investors. Controls Detailed policies covering order allocation, interfund 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 Carlyle Global Credit has a dedicated internal trading and operational support team that provides independent trustee reconciliation and indenture compliance monitoring. Carlyle Global Credit 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 Carlyle Global Credit 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. The Carlyle Group 71

80 The Fitch View Key Considerations Independent asset manager and experienced senior team. Strong proprietary technology, notably its look-through CLO analysis system, Toy Box. EUR1.4 billion CLO AUM to date, resulting from two acquired CLOs and three new CLOs (including Toro European 3, which priced in March 2017). 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 three new CLOs issued in 2014, 2016 and Its flagship structured finance fund (Toro) has been investing in CLO mezzanine and equity paper since the firm s inception in The CLO management team consists of six with an average of 11 years experience. The research team consists of 10 staff (four 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 precommittee, 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 Solvas. Operations CLO administration is conducted in-house by two dedicated staff members; additional support and oversight are provided 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. Chenavari does not provide supplemental investor reporting. Technology Toy Box is a proprietary CLO administration tool that is integrated to Intex for CLO analysis. The system provides a comprehensive overview of the entire European CLO universe, looking through to underlying holdings. It enables monitoring of manager trading behavior and overlap analysis across CLOs, among other functions. Solvas is used for operational and compliance purposes for the CLO and leveraged loan platforms. Detailed business continuity and disaster recovery plans are in place and tested, with offsite server storage and backup. Chenavari Investment Partners 75

86 The Fitch View Key Considerations Stable management team combined with experienced senior portfolio management. Well-established CLO platform and demonstrated track record managing CLOs. Strong access to new CLO issuance and the loan market across different environments. CIFC was acquired in November 2016 by F.A.B. Partners, a newly formed alternative investment platform backed by the Qatari royal family. The transition will likely create some challenges as CIFC settles into its new role within a larger organization. However, these challenges will mostly be offset by CIFC s stability and large presence in the CLO market. Company Founded in 2005, CIFC is a fundamentals-based, relative-value loan specialist manager with USD13.7 billion in AUM as of Dec. 31, CIFC s investment team is led by Co-President Steve Vaccaro, who has 39 years of industry credit experience and has been with CIFC since its inception. CIFC s top three senior credit analysts average 18 years of relevant experience. CIFC has brought over 25 CLOs to market; in addition, it manages four CLOs that it acquired from four fund complexes (CypressTree, Deerfield, CNCIM and GE Navigator). Investments The investment process is based on CIFC s disciplined assessment of the fundamental value cushion underpinning each investment, which contributes to differentiated portfolios with attractive performance and is augmented by daily portfolio reassessment and relative-value rebalancing. Sixteen research analysts cover approximately 30 credits each, are organized by industry and are grouped together, led by a senior analyst. All analysts participate in the investment committee, which meets at least on a daily basis and is attended by the chief investment officer, portfolio managers (PMs) and traders. Highly customized and robust credit research platform, which facilitates underwriting committees and ongoing reviews. The system also ensures active communication. Controls Formalized surveillance process includes daily investment team meetings (to discuss industry trends, regulatory changes, valuation multiples and performance trends) as well as three industry reviews per year. Robust reporting, including a key management report containing cash balances, overcollateralization and interest coverage tests and cushions for all transactions, is populated on a daily basis. It is reviewed internally by and distributed to the PMs on a daily basis. Internal audit committee consists of three independent directors and meets at least quarterly. Operations CIFC has dedicated legal, finance, compliance, operations, portfolio control, risk management, internal audit and support teams; combined, they comprise over 40 professionals. CIFC utilizes a variety of systems for portfolio management and administration, including Wall Street Office (WSO) for compliance and operations and Black Mountain Everest for performing credit analysis. Daily reconciliation of cash and securities with Bank, as trustee. Additionally, there is a monthly reconciliation with the trustee report for review. Technology Integrated and flexible platform is based on a combination of proprietary analytics and third-party customized vendor systems, including such industry-standard systems as Black Mountain Everest, WSO (compliance, administrator and reporting) and Investran (fund accounting). Business continuity plan is appropriate, has been tested and includes a hot site in New Jersey, daily data backup and use of Citrix for remote accessibility. CIFC Asset Management LLC 81

90 The Fitch View Key Considerations Strong operations and CLO administration procedures. Established, favorable performance track record in CLOs. Columbia does not portray a unique analytical edge but adds value based on its extensive market experience. Keeping turnover low in key staffing areas. Company Ameriprise purchased Columbia in May 2010 and merged it with Ameriprise s RiverSource Investments unit. The leveraged debt group has remained intact following the acquisition, and the group continues to be run out of its Los Angeles office. The Los Angeles office is composed of 22 individuals: four PMs, seven industry analysts and 11 performance analytics, operations, administration and IT support staff. The seven analysts average more than 20 years of industry experience and 14 years with the group. The team is co-headed by Lynn Hopton and Yvonne Stevens. Both joined the leveraged debt group in 2000, having previously worked for several years at SunAmerica Inc., where they managed leveraged loans and gained structured vehicle experience. The company typically participates in the equity of its managed CLOs, in amounts ranging from 5% 15% of the equity tranche. Investments Columbia maintains a bottom-up investment and valuation analysis, with emphasis on capital preservation and the minimization of downside risk. Clearly articulated investment processes are based on a blend of quantitative and qualitative analysis. Credit underwriting focuses on a four-step process: defining the investment universe, fundamental credit research, formal investment committee and ongoing research and communication. The investment committee is composed of two PMs and the recommending analyst. Buy decisions require unanimous approval of the committee. No investment decisions are made unilaterally. Analysts and PMs contribute opinions and ideas on all names, and consensus drives the decision-making process. Controls Written policies and procedures outline investment objectives and the operational means for administering risk management, asset allocation, investment analysis, portfolio management and trade order management, among other business processes. Compliance is supplemented by corporate oversight in the form of internal operational reviews and compliance checks. Currently, the specific procedures for the leveraged debt group are documented, and the team follows formal guidelines for trading procedures, allocations of trades and internal risk ratings. Portfolios are continuously monitored from a quantitative and fundamental perspective. Substitution decisions are a function of fundamental, quantitative and structural considerations. Operations Scalability of processes is demonstrated through successful integration of subsequently issued and managed CLOs since CLOs are closely administered to help ensure proper management of related accounts, monitoring of structural compliance and processing of communications with the trustee. Third-party custodian/administrators provide information such as monthly trustee reports to investors through a password-protected website. Technology The Los Angeles office is supported by larger corporate technology infrastructure, including a formalized business continuation plan as well as technology upgrades and duplication of servers and data. Wall Street Office (WSO) Administrator is used for cash position reporting and position reporting by industry, analyst and global exposure. In addition, WSO Compliance is used for collateral testing/monitoring, coverage/quality tests and concentration limits. Columbia Management Investment Advisers, LLC 85

94 The Fitch View Key Considerations 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 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 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-ofinterest 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 outsourced to Bank of New York Mellon. Cash is reconciled daily and on trading; positions reconciled 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. Commerzbank Debt Fund Management 89

99 The Fitch View Key Considerations Cohesiveness of the team and the experience of senior portfolio managers (PMs), who average 22 years relevant investment experience. Strong market presence enables good allocations to new issue market. Resources and support from Credit Suisse enable the management team to focus on portfolio management functions. Concentration of AUM in institutional investors and CLOs. However, there has been greater diversification as separate accounts and commingled funds increase in size. Company CSAM has been a large manager of bank loans since it was established in The credit team is led by John Popp, who has 32 years of investment experience in leveraged finance. Other senior managers making up the credit committee average 22 years of experience. Very low senior management turnover, with managing partners having worked together for more than 20 years. Staffing includes 36 investment professionals and 15 other employees. The large credit research team has 20 analysts, who are each assigned to cover one or two sectors. Collaboration and partnership across private bank, investment bank and asset management provide intelligence and sourcing, as well as global consistency. Investments Five PMs make up the credit investment committee; investment decisions require consensus. Rigorous credit selection process focuses on credits using fundamental bottom-up approach. CSAM is selective with investments, with a 60% 70% turndown rate. All new investments are thoroughly researched and formally presented by the lead credit analyst to a formal credit committee. Credit analysts must formulate a buy, hold or sell recommendation that must be updated at least quarterly. Analysts can rely on an in-house workout specialist and PMs to assist with bankruptcy and distressed credits. Daily, quarterly and ad hoc meetings to analyze new transactions, monitor existing holdings and revisit portfolio strategy and themes. Controls Independent, well-resourced risk management framework tightly linked to Credit Suisse s global 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 and European CLOs, respectively. Operations Daily reconciliation of cash and securities with the trustee. Strong relationship and constant dialogue with the trustees (Wells Fargo, BNY Mellon and Bank). Strong middle-office resources ensure efficient and adequate management of CLOs and industry-standard controls. Some CLO operations functions outsourced to SS&C Technologies with close oversight by CSAM in-house settlements team and portfolio administrators from the middle-office team. Technology CSAM uses both industry-standard systems and proprietary systems for portfolio management and administration, including but not limited to Virtus, Black Mountain Everest, Bloomberg and CDO Suite. Business continuity plan is appropriate and tested. Additional office space in Princeton, NJ and outside London to serve as disaster recovery sites. Credit Suisse Asset Management 94

103 The Fitch View Key Considerations Strong company financial performance and AUM growth. Since becoming an independent company (spun out from TCW) in 2011, very strong growth in credit platform and revenue growth. Not dependent on CLO growth for viability; growth in other investment platforms strengthens support for CLO issuance.

GC Advisors LLC (Golub Capital) 119

125 The Fitch View Key Considerations Well-articulated investment strategy, sound fundamental credit research practices and deep front-office resources. Extensive relationship network in direct MM lending business. Reasonable match between resources and CLOs outstanding. Maintaining appropriate staffing levels as BSL CLO business grows. Current team is adequate but relatively small with seven analysts, a senior portfolio manager and a dedicated loan trader. Company Golub is a -based firm founded in 1994 with principal offices in New York and Chicago. As of Dec. 31, 2016, Golub's BSL platform issued over USD4.6 billion across 11 CLOs since The BSL platform has eight dedicated industry analysts, a senior portfolio manager and a dedicated loan trader. BSL group has access to other units such as the MM lending with over 60 investment professionals and portfolio monitoring with six professionals. The team averages over 21 years of industry experience. Seven-member treasury team includes CLO compliance. Investments Formalized investment philosophy is highly research driven and applied through a rather active approach. Extensive resources in quantitative research are well balanced with fundamental bottom-up research conducted by seven dedicated industry analysts. Fundamental analysis is complemented by a quantitative analysis of the relative risk-return characteristics of investments and a comparison of yields between asset classes and other indicators. Formal investment committee of the nondiscretionary sub-advisor comprises three individuals, including the CEO, president and the senior portfolio manager. Efficient monitoring of portfolio risk with a focus on portfolio diversification by industry and credit buckets relative to target ratios and ensuring compliance with investment constraints. Controls Well-documented procedures covering investment analysis and decision-making procedures as well as CLO portfolio administration tasks, which support the implementation of an adequate control framework within the business. The governance structure in place is considered appropriate, with clear separation of duties and lines of escalation. Compliance function has broad coverage and capitalizes on the numerous and proficient IT systems in place to conduct its controls. Operational risk management is very professional, integrated and applies enterprise perspective with large coverage and efficient systems. Operations Work flows and reconciliation with the trustee and counterparties are well defined, comprehensively documented and supported by robust proprietary applications. All of the CLOs are modeled and administered in Wall Street Office, allowing administration of all loans with strong operational efficiency. Dedicated Investors Services group delivers investor communication and reporting to existing investors, manages and tracks investor data and reporting work flow, and provides client services. Technology IT teams and resources are large and efficiently organized by function (investments, middleoffice/back-office systems, risk management, operations).

128 The Fitch View Key Considerations Long track record in European loan and CLO management, including demonstrated experience of realizing a CLO from inception to call. Robust control structure. Use of a partially outsourced credit research team. Company Man GLG has been managing CLOs and loans since 2002 (originally as RMF Investments and later as Pemba Credit Advisers AG). Man GLG is a multistrategy platform with strategies across all major asset classes. Man GLG s investor base is diversified by type and geography. The credit team is supported by an outsourced credit analysis function provided by Moody s Analytics, with four 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, Man GLG 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 December The firm 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 the firm 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. The firm provides supplemental CLO investor reporting. Technology The firm 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.

132 The Fitch View Key Considerations Resources to the CLO platform are strong, given significant 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. GoldenTree is owned by its employees and offers them a path to partnership. The GoldenTree brand may be exposed to key man risk tied to Steve Tananbaum, the firm s managing partner and chief investment officer; this risk is largely mitigated by GoldenTree s highly experienced staff reporting to Tananbaum, including Lee Kruter and others directly involved in the day-to-day management of the CLOs. Company Product lines include both alternative and long-only strategies. Bank loans under management amounted to approximately USD8 billion, with approximately USD5 billion across 11 CLOs (including two European CLOs). 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. Historically, GoldenTree managed CLOs. Going forward, GoldenTree Loan Management (GLM) will manage CLOs compliant with and European risk retention regulations. GLM was established in June 2016 and is an SEC-registered investment adviser. GLM and GoldenTree are affiliated entities. GLM will benefit from GoldenTree s research, trading and operational support pursuant to a service agreement. Investments The firm actively manages its portfolios with a focus on total returns through disciplined fundamental value investing. The flat organizational structure results in analysts having more ownership of investment decisions. Analysts are allocated by sector. In addition, nine investment professionals are responsible for the firm s distressed and structured products investments. The credit selection criteria require a minimum margin of safety for all investments, typically at least 2.0x minimum asset coverage, target return and catalysts to drive total return. Controls Portfolio managers stress test the portfolio and continually monitor and oversee 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. GoldenTree has compliance and governance processes and policies in place to support accuracy of trading, portfolio management and administration functions. Operations Over 20 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 over 30 dedicated technology employees. Portfolio management and credit analysis are conducted in-house, facilitated through the use of proprietary tools. The firm employs an integrated, scalable 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, Electra Reconciliations, Charles River and VPM.

169 Fitch View Key Considerations 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 and European CLO investment resources and experienced staff. Overall CLO platform capabilities have expanded due to Avoca Capital (Avoca) acquisition in Managing potential conflicts of interest by maintaining the company s effective wall of separation between the CLO platform and KKR s private equity business is a challenge. 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 Upon its acquisition, Avoca brought approximately EUR6.2 billion in AUM to KKR and lifted the number of industry analysts on KKR Credit s global leveraged credit team to 27 (16 analysts and 11 European analysts). The investment team now consists of 30 individuals (17 and 13 Europe). KKR Credit has been managing broadly syndicated loan CLOs since KKR is a majority owner of the equity tranches in all of KKR Credit 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 Black Mountain Everest 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. KKR Credit Advisors (US) LLC 164

Senior management oversaw 11 CLOs (USD4.3 billion) at LightPoint Capital Management, which was also co-founded by Kramer and Van Kirk. Senior management also managed a multi-billion-dollar balance sheet portfolio while at ABN AMRO. Investments KVK has an adequate credit approval process supported by structured and well-documented credit research processes. KVK uses an effective screening process, based on portfolio manager judgment, to filter out unsuitable assets at an early stage. Turndown rate is 45%. Using a proprietary technology platform, KVK s investment professionals will analyze, select and manage investment positions using current issuer and market information. The investment process is centered on a focused and disciplined credit analysis framework that evaluates material aspects of a potential asset. Controls KVK manages its investment risk by structuring portfolios that are highly diversified by industry and issuer. It employs a robust and highly disciplined approach to portfolio management to monitor compliance with specific benchmarks and investment criteria. Surveillance processes are in place, with the original lead analyst retaining ongoing surveillance. Alert functions in KVK s proprietary credit platform are used to identify deteriorating credits at an early stage. KVK maintains active portfolio monitoring processes, with daily position risk monitoring and monthly meetings held for special discussions regarding hot topics and watchlist items.

205 The Fitch View Key Considerations Experienced credit team with a history of proven credit performance. Diversified portfolio in terms of sector and obligor concentration, with an emphasis on first-lien senior-secured loans. Recent formation of venture with GSO Capital Partners (the credit division of Blackstone) and FS Investments (formally Franklin Square Capital Partners) to expand MM lending and asset management activities. Continued growth of CLO business could be pressured given MM loan supply/demand dynamics. Company Established in 2004, NewStar is a publicly held C corporation (NASDAQ: NEWS) that focuses on MM leveraged loans; it had approximately USD6.7 billion in AUM as of Dec. 31, 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 MM lending and asset management activities. In October 2015, NewStar acquired Feingold O Keeffe Capital (FOC), a Boston-based alternative investment manager focused on broadly syndicated liquid loans with USD2.3 billion of AUM through CLOs, credit hedge funds and customized accounts. FOC currently operates as NewStar Capital LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary a NewStar Financial, Inc. The investment team and support staffs have been retained from FOC. In 2016, NewStar divested both the Business Credit and Equipment Finance business to shift focus to MM lending activities. Both businesses were sold at a premium to book value and added to the liquidity position of the company. NewStar also sold nearly all of its Commercial Real Estate assets. Investments NewStar s firmwide investment objective is focused on target markets with defensive industry orientation, consistent and predictable cash flows and businesses with strong and sustainable competitive advantage. The hold-to-maturity strategy employed by the MM team results in strong credit discipline and minimal portfolio trading. However, it also results in greater participation in the resourceintensive workout process. CreditWizard, NewStar s proprietary rating system used for its MM platform, assigns ratings on a 1 12 scale and combines a quantitative rating platform with a qualitative scorecard. The NewStar Capital BSL team adheres to a more active trading philosophy with the goal of maintaining acceptable levels of credit risk. CLO management practices include continuous portfolio optimization and early identification of heightened risk. Controls Strong focus on compliance from being publicly listed and having two registered investment advisers (RIA). 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, watch list or high-attention credit designation. Third-party vendor performs complete internal audit of all functions, providing additional oversight. Operations NewStar s CLO compliance group is independent of the Treasury team, resulting in clear segregation of duties. Daily reconciliation of cash and securities with trustee. Strong relationship and constant communication with Bank, as trustee. Administrative capabilities reflect a 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 are used by both the MM and BSL teams. NewStar Financial, Inc. 200

222 The Fitch View Key Considerations Global investment manager specializing in sub-investment-grade credit. Significant, firmwide resources and an experienced investment staff utilizing a flexible and robust investment process. Demonstrated robust systems and processes that successfully meet the specific operational and compliance requirements of managing both and European CLOs. Company Oaktree Capital Management, L.P. is a global alternative investment management firm with a focus on credit strategies. Today, the firm employs over 900 professionals in 18 cities and 13 countries. Most of Oaktree s income has been derived from realized and unrealized gains on investments. Oaktree s senior loans strategy began in 2007 and the European senior loans strategy started in The European strategy manages loans as portions of pooled vehicles, within a SICAV structure and as separate managed accounts. The and European CLO teams employ 26 dedicated professionals, including 16 research analysts, three traders, four CLO support staff and three PMs who have no research responsibilities. The team averages 13 years investment experience. The senior loan portfolio manager has 15 years investment experience, while the European senior loan co-pms have 20 and 19 years investment experience, respectively. Investments The investment process centers around a fundamental, bottom-up analysis focused on a company s financial condition 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 proprietary 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. Ten senior analysts on the and European teams are organized by sector, with six junior analysts acting as generalists. The investment universe consists of approximately 480 names across active and European CLOs. Each analyst actively monitors about 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 risk monitoring team led by its investment risk officer, along with 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 (25 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 Historically, Oaktree utilized THS, a proprietary trade order management and compliance system. The firm expects to fully transition to a new system, Everest by Black Mountain Systems, and replace THS by the end of the year. Geneva, an SS&C product, is used as the main accounting system. Feeds to some third-party systems (such as the BNY Mellon trustee system) are not fully automated. Also, the data feed between THS and CDO Suite is not automated. Oaktree is developing HTML solutions to enable this automation. Oaktree Capital Management, L.P. 218

226 The Fitch View Key Considerations Diversified asset management platform not significantly dependent on future CLO issuance to remain viable. Incentives (including compensation) and culture facilitate knowledge sharing and collaboration across all business lines. Significant investments were made by the firm to establish CLO business, including hiring investment professionals with well-established CLO track records and building out sophisticated proprietary credit research and administration systems. Reputational risk in connection with the recent SEC actions involving an Och-Ziff subsidiary, OZ Africa; mitigated largely by the CLO platform s non-involvement in the affair. Company Founded in 1994 by Daniel Och, Och-Ziff is a publicly held firm (NYSE: OZM) with product offerings across multistrategy, credit, real estate and energy. Strong employee retention, with senior investment managers having worked together for over 18 years at Och-Ziff. Och-Ziff credit strategies manages assets across the corporate, structured and private credit markets within opportunistic credit and the performing credit markets within institutional credit strategies. In 2016, Och-Ziff settled with the SEC in connection with accusations of misconduct by former employees and private investments in Africa. The settlement includes a USD412 million fine and deferred prosecution agreement for Och-Ziff and a guilty plea by one of its subsidiaries, OZ Africa Management GP, LLC. Fitch confirmed with members of the CLO team that the allegations were limited to non-clo personnel and operations. Investments Portfolios are actively managed, driven by fundamental bottom-up credit analysis and augmented by relative-value and industry assessments. Investment ideas, market trends and portfolio allocation ideas are shared during daily meetings between portfolio managers (PMs) and analysts. Loan management team leverages expertise of other groups at Och-Ziff, such as the equity group for sector/competitor analysis and distressed credit group for workout guidance. Formalized ongoing surveillance process utilizes in-house and third-party systems to track positions and monitor compliance. Parallel checks of all requirements are performed. Controls Various portfolio and risk management reporting performed by a group separate from PMs. Weekly risk management meetings focus analysis on various forms of risk, including financial, operational, counterparty, alpha generation and CLO exposure. Daily credit risk monitoring process includes analysis of underlying credit liquidity, portfolio cyclicality, currency risk and geographic risk and is supported by appropriate portfolio management framework. Operations Investor reporting includes pre-effective date monthly portfolio updates, transaction documents and quarterly commentary, all of which are available on a password-protected website. Allocation of investments is based on the specific needs of each portfolio and facilitated through automated systems to prevent error. All portfolio management and credit analysis functions are conducted in-house. Models are run daily to ensure compliance with CLO tests. Technology Integrated and flexible platform based on a combination of proprietary analytics, including the CLO loan asset management system, and third-party administration systems such as the widely accepted Virtus, ClearPar and Geneva.

247 The Fitch View Key Considerations Well-resourced and financially robust parent with a long history of investing in European secured loans, albeit with relatively low loan and CLO AUM. 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 It has actively managed CLOs since 2007 and acquired Elgin Capital in All of the ownership interests of CLO manager West Gate Horizons Advisors, LLC and the firm s five CLOs were acquired by Rothschild North America Holdings, Inc. in September The resulting CLO management entity in the became 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 PMs, one of whom is responsible for European CLOs and one for 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. Sales are at the discretion of the PMs. Controls Governance is strong, effected through multiple committees and an advisory board. Rothschild Group is regulated by the relevant French and U.K. authorities. Rothschild Group s overall risk control framework is robust, reflecting the group structure and ultimate ownership by the Rothschild family. 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 Dedicated operations staff of three covering CLO and loan administration. Cash is reconciled daily and positions monthly. Rothschild Group does not provide supplemental investor reporting for CLOs. 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.

251 The Fitch View Key Considerations Investment team, consisting of portfolio managers and credit research analysts, has considerable experience in the loan market, and has had significant stability. Bound to a conservative investment philosophy and standardized underwriting process, Seix has built a solid CLO management track record. Transitioning to a new owner will likely create upcoming challenges for Seix as it settles into its new role within a larger organization; this is mitigated mostly by team s stability and experience in CLO management. Company Headquartered in Park Ridge, NJ, with other office locations in Atlanta, GA and Orlando, FL. Seix is a wholly owned subsidiary of RidgeWorth Investments. On Dec. 16, 2016, Virtus announced an agreement to purchase RidgeWorth from Lightyear Capital, a financial services private equity firm. According to both the announcement press release and Fitch s communication with Seix, no material changes are expected for the CLO team as a result of this transaction. Completion of the sale is expected to occur in June Seix s investment affiliates include two boutiques, also wholly owned by RidgeWorth, and one minority-owned boutique, Zevenbergen Capital Management. Investment affiliates are Ceredex Value Investors, Silvant Capital Management and Zevenbergen Capital Management. The leveraged finance team at Seix has 42 investment professionals across credit research, product specialists, quantitative research and trading. Investments Seix s main investment philosophy is to have a transparent, repeatable investment process based on fundamental, bottom-up research. Performance is primarily attributed to the amount of experience the team has together, combined with a focus on collaboration and information sharing. Investment ideas typically are sourced from the industry analysts. The research team engages in bottom-up fundamental credit research to identify the strongest and most undervalued credits. Seix internally rates every investment. Ongoing surveillance of credits is performed at least quarterly. Weekly sector meetings help facilitate the sharing of trends and credit events. A formal watchlist is maintained and monitored. The research team uses Tamale, a credit research repository, to house all memos, notes and credit model outputs. Seix will implement an automatic formal credit review for an issue if its price falls 5% relative to its peers. Controls The firm conducts an annual review of its policies and procedures that includes a risk assessment to identify and prioritize areas of risk, conflict and other firm operations. Ashland is retained for GIPS verification; it also conducts an annual SSAE 16 examination of internal controls of the organization. Personal trading activity for all staff is monitored through SunGard Protegent PTA, which receives broker feeds nightly. The firm has formalized rules for public/private investing. Operations Wall Street Office is used to administer loan assets and to perform daily cash reconciliations between the CLOs and the trustee. An internal Excel-based model is also maintained as a third reconciliation and for hypothetical trading scenarios. An internal team performs all loan settlements. The robust process has resulted in very good settlement times versus industry averages. Appropriate investor reporting is available via the trustee.
