ASSURED INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT LLC

SPL is an SEC-registered investment adviser required to comply with federal and state securities laws, including regulatory filings related to Client Accounts and activities under the Advisers Act. SPL provides advisory services tailored to the investment objectives, strategy, and restrictions outlined in the governing documents of each Client Account or the investment management agreement. SPL typically does not tailor its advisory services to the individual needs of investors in the Client Accounts and generally does not accept material investment restrictions imposed by such investors. SPL also engages Sound Point to provide back- and middle-office services, administrative support, infrastructure, and investment professionals to assist in portfolio selection and asset management for SPL’s Client Accounts and Fuji CLOs. As an investment adviser, SPL has a fiduciary obligation to seek "best execution" for client transactions, considering factors like total cost, commission rates, research value, negotiation ability, volume discounts, operational efficiency, reliability, and access to markets. SPL addresses potential conflicts of interest through its broker selection review process, which requires key SPL individuals to evaluate a broker-dealer’s performance in a wide variety of categories.

SPL's portfolio managers oversee a team organized by sub-strategy. They analyze trade ideas, monitor the portfolio, perform risk and scenario analyses, and seek investment opportunities within their strategy. The portfolio management team decides which investment ideas to implement based on current portfolio exposures, the market environment, the attractiveness, risk profile, and liquidity of new positions, and the judgment of its members. SPL's investment strategies and themes are broadly grouped into SPL CLOs. This includes positions across the capital structure of collateralized loan obligations advised by SPL and BlueMountain Fuji, as well as managing the underlying assets held by SPL CLOs, including leveraged loans and high yield bonds.
