Investment Performance and Outlook

Whilst no longer required to release Interim Management Statements, the board intends to continue to update Shareholders on the Company's investment performance and outlook alongside each NAV update.

The Company raised GBP76.0m and has paid dividends totalling GBP19.3m and returned capital totalling approximately GBP66.5m. The total value to paid-in ratio (based on capital raised) of the Company at 30 September 2016 was 1.193.

The Investment Adviser anticipates the current trend of earlier repayments to continue as increased liquidity in the financing markets, the ongoing deleveraging through amortisation of most transactions and the generally rising trend in asset values encourage borrowers to refinance or sell the assets that back the remaining loans in the Master Fund.

As the underlying portfolio of the Master Fund continues to be realised, and with 87.4% of the original capital raised already returned, your Board anticipates that the Company will continue to make distributions of capital via B Share issues and redemptions, together with payments of income, if any after the Company's expenses, by way of dividend.

The underlying asset quality and conservative debt metrics leave the Master Fund in a robust position, with no current significant concern over the credit-worthiness and recoverability of the portfolios' investments. We remain hopeful that the Master Fund will be fully realised within the coming months, and therefore that the Company will have distributed the majority of its remaining assets and income shortly thereafter.
