Evolvence Credit Opportunity Fund

The Evolvence Credit Opportunity Fund (the “Credit Fund”) investment objective is to generate superior risk adjusted returns by opportunistically acquiring a diversified portfolio of undervalued credit related instruments principally in the Middle East, North Africa and South Asia while minimizing risk of loss.

The Credit Fund will make credit investments through an actively managed, diversified portfolio of "stressed" or undervalued corporate bonds, corporate bank debt and other debt instruments.  The Credit Fund will continue Evolvence Capital Limited (“Evolvence”) investment activities which emphasise investments in growth oriented businesses, with a particular focus on companies that have come under pressure due to the global credit crisis.  Investment targets may include:

• industries where the Credit Fund can acquire investments at a significant discount to the fundamental value of their underlying cash flow or assets;
• companies in need of growth capital or facing a broad range of liquidity issues;
• specialized situations that are complex and market driven;
• proprietary investments leveraging existing relationships; and
• select co-investments stemming from the Credit Fund’s proprietary lending opportunities and Evolvence’s private equity and real estate platforms 

The Credit Fund has a dual investment strategy, investing in both liquid listed corporate debt securities and mezzanine growth capital.  In today's environment, senior management of Evolvence believes attractive opportunities exist in both product areas.  Currently, there are opportunities in the credit markets for public debt issuers but as the credit markets stabilise the Credit Fund expects the mezzanine growth capital business to offer more opportunities as financial institutions will continue to be conservative in their lending practices and the lack of liquidity will need to be filled by mezzanine providers.
