1 | All information provided in this section, with the exception of the Total Asset (est.) figure, does not include the Company’s temporary investment commitments such as the promissory note from the Mauritian Financial Services Provider and the bridge loan from the Singaporean Agricultural Products Exporter comprising 10.2% and 2.6%, respectively, of all the investments currently held by the Company. The promissory note from the Mauritian Financial Services Provider is an unsecured position. |
2 | Weighted average duration is the average period of time before the loans in the portfolio mature or come due weighted to properly account for the difference of investment sizes within the portfolio. Duration is calculated through the average turn of trade finance transactions and the contracted amortization of term loans. |
3 | Note, this is not a measure of the Company’s investment performance, nor the Company’s yield, nor is it necessarily indicative of distributions that the Company may provide to investors. |
4 | This represents all countries/sectors where the Company currently has a loan commitment other than through a temporary investment. Due to the revolving debt nature of trade finance facilities and the timing of funding, it is possible that certain commitments currently have a zero outstanding balance and would therefore not be represented in the country/sector allocation charts, which represents invested capital. |
5 | The above charts represent investment type, developing economy, and sector diversification as a percentage of the total amount outstanding of the Company’s investments other than the Company’s temporary investments. The Company’s temporary investments include the promissory note from the Mauritian Financial Services Provider and the bridge loan from the Singaporean Agricultural Products Exporter comprising 10.2% and 2.6%, respectively, of all the investments currently held by the Company. |
