Distressed Securities Source: Pioneer Alternative Investments / HFRI. Data to end August 2003

Distressed Investing Investment in the senior secured debt or equity of companies experiencing operating difficulties and or liquidity crises Buying debt or equity of companies at a deep discount compared to book value and realising appreciation after returning company to profitability. Strategy has very low correlation with the markets and relies on the specialist skills of the managers Diversified across many distressed positions

Asset Backed Lending Managers effectively assume a banking role, lending at comparatively high rates to companies whose financing needs are urgent Managers analyse complex collateral assets and predict liquidation value in event of a default Return is generated by aggressive pricing of the loans (interest rates and fees) or by realising the collateral assets in event of liquidation
