SENTINEL II
Investment Objective
The Investment Objective of the Sub-Fund is to produce capital appreciation over its lifetime.
Investment Policy
The Sub-Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by acquiring one or more portfolios of unsecured performing and non-performing loans (“Loans”) issued by Italian credit institutions and other financial institutions authorised to originate loans (“Originators”).
The Investment Manager, with the assistance of the Investment Advisor, will monitor the periodic auctioning of portfolios of Loans by Italian Originators as well as the secondary markets in Loans in order to identify portfolios of Loans which could both present upside potential and satisfy the investment Manager’s other selection criteria described below. The Sub-Fund will focus on Loans issued to individuals or SMEs with an average individual loan amount of €30,000 and normally not exceeding €100,000. The Sub-Fund aims to focus on Loans with debtors mainly resident in Italy.
Where a portfolio of non-performing loans (“NPLs”) has been acquired, the Investment Manager, with the assistance of the Master Servicer, will assess the NPLs individually and utilise all legal means to attempt to recover the relevant debt over the course of the Sub-Fund’s duration. This may include negotiating staggered payment terms with defaulting debtors or agreeing to settle out of court. The Sub-Fund may also dispose of NPLs on the secondary market if a suitable buyer and price is found.
The Sub-Fund will not be employing leverage for the pursuit of its investment objective or policies whether through borrowing or the use of financial derivative instruments.
