Fellow Shareholder,
The first half of 2018 marked another important milestone in our efforts to drive value for FS Global Credit Opportunities Fund’s (FSGCO, or the Fund) shareholders. Effective April 9, 2018, FS Global Advisor (the Advisor) assumed sole management of FSGCO with an emphasis on improving distribution coverage, upgrading the portfolio and growing the Fund’s net asset value.
To lead this transition and build upon the existing scale of FSGCO, FS Investments (FS) has significantly expanded its internal credit investment team. As mentioned in my last letter, FS hired Andrew Beckman in December, a seasoned credit professional with deep experience and a strong track record in special situations and event-driven strategies. Andrew joined from DW Partners, a $3 billion alternative credit manager, where he was a partner and Head of Corporate Credit and Special Situations. Prior to that, Andrew built and managed Magnetar Capital’s event-driven credit business and also served as Co-Head of Goldman Sachs’ Special Situations Multi-Strategy Investing Group.
Under Andrew’s leadership, FS has continued to build out a hand-selected credit investment team to source and manage investments for FSGCO. Nicholas Heilbut, who worked closely with Andrew at DW Partners, also joined FS earlier this year. Together, along with the recent addition of five key investment professionals, they are leveraging their collective experience in special situations and event-driven credit investing with a focus on generating strong returns for FSGCO investors.
Since assuming all operational and investment management functions of FSGCO, the Advisor has focused on reducing FSGCO’s exposure to higher-beta investments and redirecting the portfolio to idiosyncratic, high-conviction opportunities in order to provide a differentiated way to deliver growth and income to our investors.
During the first half of 2018, FSGCO maintained its focus on investing at the top of the corporate capital structure. As of June 30, 2018, approximately 35% of the portfolio consisted of first-lien senior secured debt, up from 26% as of December 31, 2017. Concurrently, the allocation to unsecured bonds and equity/structured products declined to 23% and 7%, respectively, as of June 30, 2018, from 29% and 10%, respectively, as of December 31, 2017. |
We remain fully committed to the Fund’s long-term success, which we believe is reflected in our $13 million sponsor investment and through the reduction in management and incentive fees. In connection with the Advisor assuming sole management of the Fund, it is waiving 0.50% of annual base management fees for the 2018 calendar year so that the annual base management fee is equal to 1.50%. In addition, incentive fees are being waived for the same 12-month period. The Advisor intends to permanently lower the management fee to the 1.5% level following the waiver period.
Market review
Leveraged credit prices rose in the first half of 2018, as rising short-term U.S. Treasury yields weighed on higher-duration investments.1,2 Lower-rated credits generally outperformed their lower-yielding peers given their reduced sensitivity to rate concerns and a generally stable corporate backdrop.3,4 Benefiting from their floating rate coupons and position as a possible hedge against rising interest rates, flows into senior secured loans remained positive, with bank loan mutual funds posting a net inflow of $12.8 billion through the first half of the year.5 However, flows into high yield bonds remained decisively negative, with high yield bond mutual funds recording an outflow of approximately $22.9 billion during the first six months of 2018.5
High yield bonds returned 0.08% during the first half of 2018, and have now posted gains in 9 of the past 10 quarters.1 Senior secured loans posted a more robust 2.38% return in the first half and have now posted a gain in each of the past 10 quarters.2
Against the backdrop of stable corporate fundamentals and evolving interest rate concerns, investor demand for higher-yield and lower-rated corporate credit improved. CCC rated high yield bonds and CCC rated senior secured loans returned 4.0% and 5.1%, respectively, during the first half of the year, both benefiting from their lower durations relative to other fixed income investments.3,4
Performance review
By focusing on select opportunities, such as event-driven opportunities, special situations and market-price inefficiencies, we aim to build a portfolio that offers the potential for high total returns, comprised of both income and growth, compared to traditional investment strategies.

Amid yield compression in both the high yield and senior secured loan markets during the first half of 2018, we believe investing in a select number of value-based opportunities across the capital structure offers the potential for stronger risk-adjusted returns relative to today’s low-yield market environment.
Especially in tight markets, we believe our strategy of focusing on pockets of the market where there are return or income premiums due to either liquidity constraints or the complexity of the investment should help to generate value. Looking to the second half of 2018, we will continue to seek out investments that offer the potential for higher return premiums, while selectively rotating out of investments with a high correlation to the broader credit markets.
Thank you for your continued support and trust in us. |
Sincerely, | |

1 ICE BofAML U.S. High Yield Master II Index. 2 Credit Suisse Leveraged Loan Index. 3 CCC rated high yield bonds are represented by the ICE BofAML U.S. High Yield CCC & Lower Rated Index, which is a subset of the ICE BofAML U.S. High Yield Master II Index that includes high yield bonds rated CCC or below. 4 CCC rated senior secured loans are represented by a subset of the Credit Suisse Leveraged Loan Index containing only loan facilities rated CCC or below. 5 Thomson Reuters Lipper. 6 FS Global Credit Opportunities Fund’s feeder funds described herein are FS Global Credit Opportunities Fund–A (FSGCO–A or Fund–A), FS Global Credit Opportunities Fund–D (FSGCO–D or Fund–D), FS Global Credit Opportunities Fund–T (FSGCO–T or Fund–T), FS Global Credit Opportunities Fund–ADV (FSGCO–ADV or Fund–ADV) and FS Global Credit Opportunities Fund–T2 (FSGCO–T2 or Fund–T2). 7 Shareholder returns shown are the total returns an investor received for the applicable period taking into account all distributions paid during such period, compounded monthly. The calculation assumes that the investor purchased shares for all feeder funds at their respective net asset values per share at the beginning of the applicable period; and in each case reinvested all cash distributions pursuant to the applicable feeder fund’s distribution reinvestment plan (DRP). Valuation as of the end of each period is the redemption price pursuant to the applicable feeder fund’s share repurchase program on such date. Shareholder returns do not include selling commissions and dealer manager fees, which could have totaled up to 8% of Fund–A’s public offering price, up to 2% of Fund–D’s public offering price, and up to 4% of Fund–T’s and Fund–T2’s public offering price. Also, for Fund–T and Fund–T2, shareholder returns do not include any applicable contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC). Had such selling commissions and dealer manager fees or the CDSC been included, performance would be lower. Upon liquidation or redemption, market conditions may cause the actual values to be more or less than the values shown. The payment of future distributions on Fund–A’s, Fund–D’s, Fund–T’s, Fund–ADV’s and Fund–T2’s common shares is subject to the discretion of their boards of trustees and applicable legal restrictions and, therefore, there can be no assurance as to the amount or timing of any such future distributions. |

Together, along with the recent addition of five key investment professionals, they are leveraging their collective experience in special situations and event-driven credit investing with a focus on generating strong returns for FSGCO investors.
Since assuming all operational and investment management functions of FSGCO, the Advisor has focused on reducing FSGCO’s exposure to higher-beta investments and redirecting the portfolio to idiosyncratic, high-conviction opportunities in order to provide a differentiated way to deliver growth and income to our investors.
During the first half of 2018, FSGCO maintained its focus on investing at the top of the corporate capital structure. As of June 30, 2018, approximately 35% of the portfolio consisted of first-lien senior secured debt, up from 26% as of December 31, 2017. Concurrently, the allocation to unsecured bonds and equity/structured products declined to 23% and 7%, respectively, as of June 30, 2018, from 29% and 10%, respectively, as of December 31, 2017. |
We remain fully committed to the Fund’s long-term success, which we believe is reflected in our $13 million sponsor investment and through the reduction in management and incentive fees. In connection with the Advisor assuming sole management of the Fund, it is waiving 0.50% of annual base management fees for the 2018 calendar year so that the annual base management fee is equal to 1.50%. In addition, incentive fees are being waived for the same 12-month period. The Advisor intends to permanently lower the management fee to the 1.5% level following the waiver period.
Market review
Leveraged credit prices rose in the first half of 2018, as rising short-term U.S. Treasury yields weighed on higher-duration investments.1,2 Lower-rated credits generally outperformed their lower-yielding peers given their reduced sensitivity to rate concerns and a generally stable corporate backdrop.3,4 Benefiting from their floating rate coupons and position as a possible hedge against rising interest rates, flows into senior secured loans remained positive, with bank loan mutual funds posting a net inflow of $12.8 billion through the first half of the year.5 However, flows into high yield bonds remained decisively negative, with high yield bond mutual funds recording an outflow of approximately $22.9 billion during the first six months of 2018.5
High yield bonds returned 0.08% during the first half of 2018, and have now posted gains in 9 of the past 10 quarters.1 Senior secured loans posted a more robust 2.38% return in the first half and have now posted a gain in each of the past 10 quarters.2
Against the backdrop of stable corporate fundamentals and evolving interest rate concerns, investor demand for higher-yield and lower-rated corporate credit improved. CCC rated high yield bonds and CCC rated senior secured loans returned 4.0% and 5.1%, respectively, during the first half of the year, both benefiting from their lower durations relative to other fixed income investments.3,4
Performance review
By focusing on select opportunities, such as event-driven opportunities, special situations and market-price inefficiencies, we aim to build a portfolio that offers the potential for high total returns, comprised of both income and growth, compared to traditional investment strategies.

Amid yield compression in both the high yield and senior secured loan markets during the first half of 2018, we believe investing in a select number of value-based opportunities across the capital structure offers the potential for stronger risk-adjusted returns relative to today’s low-yield market environment.
Especially in tight markets, we believe our strategy of focusing on pockets of the market where there are return or income premiums due to either liquidity constraints or the complexity of the investment should help to generate value. Looking to the second half of 2018, we will continue to seek out investments that offer the potential for higher return premiums, while selectively rotating out of investments with a high correlation to the broader credit markets.
Thank you for your continued support and trust in us. |
Sincerely, | |

1 ICE BofAML U.S. High Yield Master II Index. 2 Credit Suisse Leveraged Loan Index. 3 CCC rated high yield bonds are represented by the ICE BofAML U.S. High Yield CCC & Lower Rated Index, which is a subset of the ICE BofAML U.S. High Yield Master II Index that includes high yield bonds rated CCC or below. 4 CCC rated senior secured loans are represented by a subset of the Credit Suisse Leveraged Loan Index containing only loan facilities rated CCC or below. 5 Thomson Reuters Lipper. 6 FS Global Credit Opportunities Fund’s feeder funds described herein are FS Global Credit Opportunities Fund–A (FSGCO–A or Fund–A), FS Global Credit Opportunities Fund–D (FSGCO–D or Fund–D), FS Global Credit Opportunities Fund–T (FSGCO–T or Fund–T), FS Global Credit Opportunities Fund–ADV (FSGCO–ADV or Fund–ADV) and FS Global Credit Opportunities Fund–T2 (FSGCO–T2 or Fund–T2). 7 Shareholder returns shown are the total returns an investor received for the applicable period taking into account all distributions paid during such period, compounded monthly. The calculation assumes that the investor purchased shares for all feeder funds at their respective net asset values per share at the beginning of the applicable period; and in each case reinvested all cash distributions pursuant to the applicable feeder fund’s distribution reinvestment plan (DRP). Valuation as of the end of each period is the redemption price pursuant to the applicable feeder fund’s share repurchase program on such date. Shareholder returns do not include selling commissions and dealer manager fees, which could have totaled up to 8% of Fund–A’s public offering price, up to 2% of Fund–D’s public offering price, and up to 4% of Fund–T’s and Fund–T2’s public offering price. Also, for Fund–T and Fund–T2, shareholder returns do not include any applicable contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC). Had such selling commissions and dealer manager fees or the CDSC been included, performance would be lower. Upon liquidation or redemption, market conditions may cause the actual values to be more or less than the values shown. The payment of future distributions on Fund–A’s, Fund–D’s, Fund–T’s, Fund–ADV’s and Fund–T2’s common shares is subject to the discretion of their boards of trustees and applicable legal restrictions and, therefore, there can be no assurance as to the amount or timing of any such future distributions. |
