22V Absolute Return Credit Fund

The 22V Absolute Return Credit Fund (“22V ARC Fund”) seeks positive returns from a diversified portfolio of long and short liquid corporate credit investments. The strategy is focused on identifying inefficiencies in the North American Investment Grade and performing High Yield bond markets. The team employs a systematic and tested investment process in short duration credit and relative value trading, paired with a portfolio hedging overlay. The objective of the 22V ARC Fund is to generate returns in excess of High Yield with lower volatility and strong downside protection over market cycles when compared to other asset classes.

The philosophy of the firm is to offer competitive fees and aligned incentives to be investor friendly.

22V ARC

Our time-tested investment approach focuses on generating absolute returns across market cycles by leveraging a diverse portfolio of long and short liquid corporate credit positions. We design our strategies to capitalize on perennial structural and technical inefficiencies in the U.S. Investment Grade and performing High Yield bond markets.

Short Duration

22VAM utilizes an efficient and fundamental approach to investing in short duration liquid performing credit. It is our belief that a low correlation, income-oriented discipline enhances the overall return profile of the Fund. The strategy seeks to produce favorable risk-adjusted returns through income generation and capital appreciation.

Fundamental Research

The investment team believes fundamental underwriting on all securities during the investment process is critical. The credit analysis is conducted leveraging an extensive library of proprietary screening tools. Our due diligence process includes analysis and review of the issuer capital structure, liquidity, bond terms and covenants, as well as industry and peer comparisons. Fundamental research is an ongoing process throughout the investment cycle and continues rigorously after trade execution, supported by continuous credit monitoring. This approach enhances scenario analysis and strengthens portfolio risk management.

Long/Short and Hedging

22VAM strategy is rooted in relative value investing, utilizing market-neutral exposures to capitalize on short-term market inefficiencies and generate low-beta returns within a company's capital structure or across an industry. To mitigate residual risks and protect against systematic drawdowns, hedges are strategically overlaid, ensuring stability across a broadly diversified portfolio.
