25 July 2018
Marble Point Loan Financing Limited
(the "Company" or "MPLF")
Unaudited Net Asset Value and Publication of Monthly Report
As at the close of business on 30 June 2018, the estimated
unaudited net asset value ("NAV") per Ordinary Share of the Company
("Share") is as follows:
Share class June Month May Month Change in NAV Total Return
End NAV End NAV since Admission
(1)
Ordinary Share USD 0.9646 USD 0.9842 USD (0.0199) (1.50%)
------------ ------------ --------------- -----------------
For the month, MPLF's total return based on NAV is estimated at
(1.99%). During this same period, the CSLLI, the ICE BofAML HYI and
the S&P 500 registered total returns of 0.10%, 0.35% and 0.62%,
respectively.(2)
While the total return on the CSLLI for the month was positive
primarily due to accrued interest, the average price of the loans
comprising the index fell from 98.14% to 97.85%. This generally led
to decreases in CLO NAVs market-wide during the month. In addition,
loan spreads continued to compress during the month as a number of
previously executed refinancings closed. Specifically, the weighted
average spread on MPLF's portfolio fell from L + 343 basis points
in May to L + 340 bps in June. Finally, spreads on CLO debt
increased modestly during the month based on the continued strong
supply of new CLOs, resets and refinancings.
The above factors contributed toward the unrealized market value
movements in MPLF's positions during the month. With the long-term,
locked-in place financing in its CLOs, Marble Point continues to
believe that MPLF is well positioned to take advantage of future
loan price volatility.
On 26 June 2018, MPLF funded an incremental $2.0 million into an
existing LAF to continue accumulating loans with the intention of
converting the LAF into a new CLO investment later this year.
MPLF's total investment in the LAF stands at $23.0 million at 30
June 2018. Supported by this and third party equity capital, the
total amount of ramped assets is $165.6 million as at 30 June
2018.
As reported by S&P/LCD, 27 U.S. CLOs were issued during the
month, representing approximately $14.1 billion of volume, bringing
the YTD total to $68.3 billion (as compared to $52.5 billion for
the 2017 YTD period). The volume of CLO refinancings and resets
also remained strong, with $3.6 billion ($16.2 billion YTD) and
$13.7 billion ($67.2 billion YTD) of issuance during the month,
respectively.
As reported by S&P/LCD, during the month the lagging
12-month default rate on the S&P/LSTA Leveraged Loan Index
decreased from 2.12% to 1.95%. While Westmoreland Coal defaulted,
the decline in the default rate reflects the fact that other
defaulted credits rolled off the lagging 12-month calculation. MPLF
had no exposure to Westmoreland Coal.
MPLF's Monthly Report as at 30 June 2018 is available under
"Monthly Fund Reports" on the Company's website at the following
