The Case for Loans
17
Why Invest in Floating Rate Loans?
The Case for Loans
  • Over a 12-year period, leveraged loans have
    outperformed all other asset classes on a
    risk/return basis. Some of the reasons are
  • Insulation from Interest Rate Risk Interest
    rates are currently at 40-year lows. Because each
    loans rate of interest is reset at least every
    90 days, loan rates rise with market rates and
    inflation.
  • Low Price Volatility - Reduced volatility results
    from a low correlation/covariance with other
    assets. The floating rate nature of leveraged
    loans contributes to its low correlation with
    other security types. Only short-term Treasury
    Bills, consistently exhibit lower volatility.
  • Defensive Strategy Senior loan funds have
    historically provided consistent, higher
    risk-adjusted returns compared to other asset
    classes which may be attractive for investors
    during volatile markets. Given the current low
    rate climate, floating rate loan funds offer
    significant downside protection, especially with
    a weaker dollar and a potentially strengthening
    economy. Rising rates usually imply a stronger
    economy which in turn reduces the risk of
    default.

18
Why Invest in Floating Rate Loans?
The Case for Loans
  • Increased Efficiency Leveraged loans are highly
    efficient portfolio assets with the highest
    Sharpe ratio and return per unit of risk of any
    major asset class. Adding loans to any portfolio
    offers the investor the opportunity for
    meaningful portfolio diversification due to their
    extremely low correlation with the performance of
    other major asset classes.
  • Lower Loss Characteristics Loans represent the
    senior claim in a borrowers capital structure
    and usually are secured by the bulk of the
    borrowers assets. Because of this seniority
    protection, loans are the last to be impacted by
    any weakening in the financial condition of the
    borrower.
  • Liquidity in the Secondary Market The size of
    the leveraged loan market has grown substantially
    over the last 9 years. At the end of 2003 the
    size of the leveraged loan market totaled
    approximately 1 trillion versus only 150
    billion at the end of 1993. All of this growth
    has contributed to greater liquidity and better
    pricing in the secondary market.

19
The Case for Loans
  • Timing is Right for Leveraged Loans
  • Peak of the default cycle has passed
  • New transactions are more conservatively
    structured and remain attractively priced for the
    risk
  • Interest rates are likely to increase from this
    point in the economic cycle
  • Supply of new issues expected to grow in 2010
  • Projected returns represent excellent value on
    both a relative and absolute basis
