FUND ADVISED BY CAVENHAM CAPITAL LIMITED and SERAPHIM ASSET MANAGEMENT LLP

HIGH RISK ADJUSTED RETURNS

IN GLOBAL CREDIT

March 2016

ISIN: KYG3935W1309 SEDOL: BYYQ3C4

Fund Overview

Global Vision aims at equity style returns by targeting mispriced credit instruments.

Our focus: high yield and EM special situations Main investment themes will be cornered around the following:

Idiosyncratic risk – deep fundamental analysis Low market correlation No leverage Asymmetric risk profile (market price dislocations discounting lower recovery values)

Source: Bank for International Settlements – presentation by Claudio Borio 10 February 2016

Interest rates sink as debt soars

3

More debt is not a substitute for demand!

Macro Overview

High and rising debt levels are not delivering economic growth – growth is stalled or declining Central banks are fully engaged at the zero bound and are having to adopt increasingly aggressive unorthodox policy QE/money printing appear to have lost potency and effectiveness

The traditional channel of bank lending is unable to transmit monetary stimulus effectively

4

Markets are progressively replacing banks as a source of funding for companies - surge in USD denominated credit to non-banks outside the United States

However the traditional marketmakers are unable to provide liquidity due to restrictive regulations

Where does this lead? Price of Assets within the remit of Central Banks inflated : underlying risks not factored in Increasing levels of defaults in the asset classes out of the remit of CBs: over USD 1trn debt globally pricing a 50% default probability over the 5 year term (over 1000 bps spread) EM credit highly sensitive to US monetary policy and commodity cycles Poor liquidity increases market volatility

Opportunities and Capital Allocation Full consideration of market risks offers the opportunity to participate in recovery at the most senior level of the capital structure taking advantage of price dislocation and market volatility Alpha will be generated by special situations with low market correlation: Systemically important corporations hit by adverse cyclicality or political risk

Traditionally good businesses with an unsustainable capital structure

Established exporters in weak economies

Best in class corporates within distressed sectors Returns will be sought with no or very low use of leverage Buying assets with low dollar prices reduces downside risk

We prioritise capital preservation by pursuing asymmetric trades with limited downside

5

Advantages of our approach Downside protection and safety in lower dollar prices

Claim is on real assets – distress brings the underlying real asset closer

Versatility: entry and exit is easier for a smaller fund without moving market

Investable universe of assets is larger for a smaller fund

Discipline in focusing on specific, high value added situations

Trade - example Samarco Mineracoes bonds 4.125% 2022 (US$1bn outstanding) Brazilian iron ore producer Top 10 exporter 50% owned by BHP Billion / 50% by Vale 2014 revenues: US$2.7bn 2014 net profit: US$1bn

November 2015 – Tragic dam accident in Minas Gerais – 17 fatalities

Bonds traded down to 35% of face value – 22% yield (December 2015/January 2016) Extensive action taken by Fund to recover environmental damage Full support from shareholders 2 March – deal reached with Brazilian government to create US$5bn restoration fund

Bonds traded up to 60% of face value (March 2016) Difficult to imagine that Vale and BHP could do anything other than support Samarco in every

way, including financially Underlying fundamentals extremely strong Cash to pay all obligations for years – despite disaster recovery costs
