Important Notice to our Unitholders

COVID-19

The managers wish to point out that it is currently difficult to
quantify the impact of COVID-19 on the performance of the
Fund, because there is uncertainty around how long the
disruptions will continue and how severe the effects will
ultimately be on our counterparties.

The managers are of the opinion that the portfolio is
appropriately positioned to withstand a burden on the
performance of the Fund’s underlying assets, as the portfolio’s
composition was based on careful selection of debt
instruments, underpinned by experienced and solid partners
with appropriate levels of debt. However, the managers will
continue to closely monitor the performance of individual
assets.
