ECM Credit Fund SICAV

ECM Credit Fund SICAV Management Report for the year ended 31 March 2015 ECM Credit Fund SICAV - ECM Financials Fund

The ECM Credit Fund SICAV - ECM Financials Fund (“EFF”) returned 4.14% net of fees over the year ended 31 March 2015.

Over the reporting period credit markets were influenced by macroeconomic themes such as introduction of quantitative easing from the European Central Bank, the beginning of discussions of interest rate increases by the United States Federal Reserve, uncertainty around United Kingdom elections and instability and possible exit of Greece from the European Union. Despite the volatile environment the strategy proved to be a resilient one throughout the periods of volatility and reported a satisfactory return for the reporting period.

The very low interest environment across international markets has intensified the hunt for yield with a focus on high yield assets. Q1 2015 new issuance was encouraging with contingent convertible issuance of USD 17 billion, continuing the trend of solid issuance levels experienced over the latest two reporting periods. The European contingent convertibles market continues to grow and establish a prominent position in the European high yield market.

The sub-fund strategy has the ability to invest in both bank and insurance sector bonds, and in the senior and subordinated levels of the capital structure. In Q1 2015, upon ECM request, investors approved increased limits for additional tier 1 contingent convertibles (up to 50%), and sub-investment grade (up to 75%). Over the reporting period, the ECM Financials Fund AUM increased from EUR 69.9 million to EUR 164.5 million.

ECM Credit Fund SICAV - ECM High Yield Fund (liquidated)

The Investment Manager made the decision to liquidate the ECM Credit Fund SICAV - ECM High Yield Fund. All asset have been sold and residual value distributed to the investor 6 February 2015.

ECM Credit Fund SICAV - ECM Short Duration Credit Fund

The ECM Credit Fund SICAV - ECM Short Duration Credit Fund (“EDC”) performed well during the year finishing 31 March 2015, generating 3.64% compared to its reference, the Iboxx Euro investment grade corporate 1-5 year bonds index that returned 3.05%.

During the year, EDC benefited from asset backed securities performance as well as non-financial corporates and financials. The themes of the portfolio for the year were: continued recovery of the asset backed securities market supported by strong technicals as the asset class continues to shrink, exposure to select cyclical sectors in recovery and corporate sectors with good visibility of cash flow and corporate strategy. In financials, EDC selectively played the recovery of peripheral spreads focusing on senior banks and select lower tier 2 positions.

What worked less well than expected this year was exposure to sterling credit. A mitigating factor was that EDC’s exposure remained in the short to medium part of the curve that performed more in line with Euro denominated credit. Another slight disappointment was performance in additional tier 1 contingent capital during the year as the asset class traded with the vagaries of the equity markets. Performance was more stable in tier 2 contingent capital, our preferred sector.

Over the next 12 months, we expect a continuation of subdued growth and inflation pressures. The recent drop in oil prices may produce a boost to consumer spending particularly in the US. Balance sheet repair is likely to continue across private and public sectors in Europe with the United States and the United Kingdom looking to raise interest rates in the second half of 2015/2016. The various election cycles have the potential to generate pockets of volatility during the year that we will look to exploit. We expect European credit to benefit from central bank support, particularly in high grade and we will be on the lookout for the impact of lackluster growth in sub-investment grade.

EDC finished the year with an AUM of EUR 202 million flat from the end of March 2014. ECM Credit Fund SICAV - ECM Absolute Return Credit Fund

The ECM Credit Fund SICAV - ECM Absolute Return Credit Fund (“ARC”) is an investment grade focused fund managed on an absolute return basis with a target return of Euribor+3%. The portfolio consists of directional (long/short) credit strategies with an emphasis on high conviction ideas, with greatest potential to outperform in an environment of high or rising credit dispersion.

The NAV of the sub-fund stood at EUR 143 million at the end of the year. The investment manager’s outlook for the period under consideration was similar to that for the previous year: we anticipated continuing performance potential for European credit based on 4 positive catalysts: the gradually strengthening economic outlook for Europe, the prolonged benign credit cycle where central banks’ zero interest policies rates translates into low default rates, supportive market technicals and the continuing reduction in Euro zone systemic risks.

ECM Credit Fund SICA V

ECM Credit Fund SICAV Management Report for the year ended 31 March 2015 (continued) Central bank support for asset markets has been a dominant theme that has continued to drive yields globally since the US kicked offQEl in November 2008. The European Central Bank joined the party in January this year with its EUR 1.1 trillion programme. A relative scarcity of government bonds in the Eurozone area led the lOyr German government bond yield to halve from around 40bps in January at the time of announcement to 20bps at the end of March.

Corporate treasurers took the opportunity to lock in all time low yields with Investment Grade supply averaging EUR 22 billion per week over the last week of February and first two weeks of March, the highest over a 3 week period since May 2008 according to Citibank data. The volume of supply together with the longer duration (EUR 34 billion of IG issuance in March had a maturity of 10 years or above) led to a bout of market indigestion as both investors and the street struggled to recycle the new issuance. Lower government yields however kept bond prices high which in tum attracted profit takers. The profit taking harmed the sectors that had performed strongest year to date including long dated low beta corporates, corporate hybrid paper and subordinated insurance. Much of the spread widening has been optical with bank desks, under pressure to keep inventories low into quarter-end, bidding to miss and investors with inflows sitting on the side-lines. Going forward, for credit spreads to reverse the recent widening, the market will be looking for European risk-free rates to bottom out and for a reduction in the amount of new issuance so that investors crowded out of government bonds will renew the hunt for yield in corporate credit.

ARC generated a net return of 1.164% for the year to March 2015 bringing annualized net returns since inception to 2.87%. ARC's net exposure stood at 65.24% at the end of March as we continue to be positioned with a modest overall net long position to allow the fund to benefit from the slightly wider credit spreads caused by decreasing government bond yields. We remain vigilant for excess volatility in the sub-fund performance and continue to believe that this environment remains conducive for good risk-adjusted returns.

ECM Credit Fund SICA V - ECM Dynamic Credit Fund

The ECM Credit Fund SICA V - ECM Dynamic Credit Fund ("DCF") is a European focused Multi Asset Credit strategy aiming to outperform the BofA Merrill Lynch EMU Corporate Index, Interest Rate Duration Hedged ("EROO"). The NA V of the sub-fund stood at EUR 185 million at the end of the period. The investment manager's outlook for the period under consideration was similar to that for the previous year: we anticipated continuing performance potential for European credit based on 4 positive catalysts: the gradually strengthening economic outlook for Europe, the prolonged benign credit cycle where central banks' zero interest policies rates translates into low default rates, supportive market technicals and the continuing reduction in Euro zone systemic risks.

Demand led weakness in commodity prices (the steep oil price drop specifically) exacerbated latent concerns about deflation in the second half of 2014. This development led to increased demand for investment grade corporate credit and in combination with investors' pre-empting the introduction of quantitative easing by the European Central Bank, pushed government bond yields to fresh historic lows: the 10 year German government bond yield for instance dropped from 1.2% to just l 8bps over the period.

The European Cental Bank's EUR 1.1 trillion quantitative easing programme was announced in January 2015 and credit performed strongly during the first quarter of2015 across asset classes. Over the reporting period, the Government OAS (credit) spread for the EROO index tightened from 111 bps to 98bps, a total of 13bp. This equated to an excess return over swaps of+ 1.62% bps for the index. DCF generated a total return of 2.34%, comfortably outperforming the reference index.

DCF is actively managed and continues to participate in the new issue and secondary markets. Over the period, the sub-fund continued to maintain a decent allocation to asset backed securities which remained relatively constant at 10-15% of net asset value. The asset class continued to benefit from strong technicals driven by the lack of issuance as well as planned support from the European Central Bank and was a large contributor to outperformance. BBB rated exposures also added to outperformance, as did the fund's modest allocation to bank loans. Areas of the portfolio that underperformed over the period were its allocation to USD denominated paper and its allocation to high yield bonds.

Our focus on producing strong risk adjusted returns is reflected in the 2014 calendar year annualised monthly volatility which at 1.25% was lower than that of the German 1-10 year government bond index (2%). This focus on managing downside risk was also reflected in the returns produced by the sub-fund in January 2014 and December 2014, 2 months were it outperformed its reference index despite returns on the reference index being negative (Jan: -4bps vs -lObps and Dec :-1 lbps vs. -12 bps for DCF and the bund index respectively).
