* | The liquidity of the Portfolio Funds may be further restricted due to withdrawal limitations. |
** | Non-income producing investments. |
(1) | Percentages are based on Members’ Capital of $465,214,571. |
(2) | Rate disclosed is the 7-day effective yield as of 04/30/2020. |
(3) | Portfolio Funds in this strategy invest in futures contracts and foreign exchange forwards contracts using a variety of systematic trading strategies to meet investment objectives, which are typically the capturing of directional moves, both long and short, across diversified portfolios of markets and asset classes. |
(4) | Portfolio Funds in this strategy generally look to exploit relative mispricings between securities in a company’s capital structure where the manager can go long the undervalued security and hedge out resulting equity and/or credit betas. In convertible bonds, opportunities can be found where sellers do not properly assess the value of the embedded credit and equity option components, resulting in convertibles that trade either cheap or expensive to their fundamental value. In other corporate credit situations, opportunities arise when different components of a company’s capital structure imply very different fundamental outcomes (i.e. equity near zero and debt near par), creating the opportunity to structure long and short positions that have favorable payoff profiles. Both of these strategies are implemented with the use of leverage. |
(5) | Portfolio Funds in this strategy invest in securities of companies involved in certain special situations, including mergers, acquisitions, asset sales, spin-offs, balance sheet restructuring, bankruptcy and other situations. These special situations constitute an “event” which the Portfolio Managers believe will trigger a change in the price of securities relative to their current price or close the gap between securities that are being arbitraged. |
(6) | Portfolio Funds in this strategy look to exploit mispricings between related fixed income instruments, including sovereign debt, corporate debt and derivative instruments such as futures, options and swaps. Exploitable opportunities may be found in closely related securities trading at different prices, in the value between fixed income instruments and related derivative instruments, in the shape of yield curves and in credit spreads. These strategies typically require leverage in order to exploit relatively small mispricings. |
The aggregate cost of investments for tax purposes was $463,023,000. Net unrealized appreciation on investments for tax purposes was $3,157,701 consisting of $18,946,035 of gross unrealized appreciation and $15,788,334 of gross unrealized depreciation.
The investments in Portfolio Funds shown above, representing 96.75% of Members’ Capital, have been fair valued using NAV as a practical expedient.
