Reflecting the evolution of the P2P/marketplace “industry”, Synthesis Peer-to-Peer Lending Fund incorpo-rates short-term commodity trade finance transactions, invoice factoring and leases on fixed assets into its portfolio, alongside consumer loans and small business loans.

THE SYNTHESIS APPROACH

• The Synthesis-P2P portfolio reflects the evolution of the P2P “industry”, building on our initial exposure to consumer loans by strategic diversification into other types of credit.

• Synthesis takes a more active approach than simply investing “anonymously” through online platforms. We have established a series of strategic partnerships, aiming to capture the advantages and opportunities of P2P lending, whilst

avoiding some of the pitfalls.

• P2P/marketplace lending is still a fledgling industry; the vast majority of online platforms are “start-ups” with little operating history.

• Synthesis prefers to work directly with experts with a long experience of the credit market/industry in which they operate.

THE SYNTHESIS APPROACH

• In carrying out extensive due diligence on potential partners we particularly look for:

• Teams comprised of experts with a long experience of the credit market/industry in which they operate. For example, we have chosen to work with:

An invoice factoring company with 40 years’ operating history

A structured commodity trade finance company whose key members each have 25-30 years’ experience

A company with over 45 years’ experience of aviation leasing – profitable from inception and without a single default on a lease to date

• Companies which are prepared co-invest in deals (“skin in the game”). Our investments in invoice (“spot”) factoring, for example, are carried out under a syndication agreement, whereby our partner company – the central underwriter – participates in each and every transaction.

THE SYNTHESIS APPROACH

• An offering focused on securitized deals. Whilst most online platforms auction unsecured invoices, for example, Synthesis-P2P invests only in invoices with recourse.

  • Sophisticated and proven risk management tools and processes.   • Robust AML/KYC procedures.   • Complete transparency on fees and commissions, throughout the investment chain, and openness to fee reductions / fee sharing to the benefit of Synthesis investors.

• Potential for sustained growth.

Many years’ of research on the P2P industry from its origins, much of it “on the ground”, and early identification of new opportunities allow the team to move fast whilst maintaining an informed and risk averse-approach to portfolio construction.

Our Strategies: P2P CONSUMER & SMALL BUSINESS LOANS

• The recent banking crisis, combined with innovation in internet technology (Web 2.0) has led to the creation of specialized “online” platforms, which bring together a large number of private lenders and borrowers, both consumer and corporate.

• At launch, in November 2012, Synthesis-P2P seeded the first US-based fund investing in whole loans.

• Synthesis now invests with three specialized P2P managers, all “early movers” in the industry, selected for their track record, robust loan selection process and risk management framework.

• These established partnerships also guarantee privileged access for Synthesis to the principal US platforms - Lending Club and Prosper – where capacity is increasingly

Our Strategies: INVOICE SPOT FACTORING

• As an alternative to traditional bank loans (which are costly and time-consuming for borrowers), invoice factoring allows small businesses to take control of their finances, improve their working capital and cash flow positions, and thus grow their businesses

more efficiently.

• Spot factoring is the purchase of a single or selected group of invoices by a specialized company (known as a “spot”).

• For investors, invoice factoring can represent a high return, secure investment, if transactions are carefully selected using the relevant expertise.

• Synthesis has chosen to partner with a spot

factoring company with over 40 years’ experience, and an expanding global presence. Historical default rates

Our Strategies: INVOICE SPOT FACTORING

• The criteria for the selection of invoices (maximum concentration limits, size of transactions, industry exposure) have been pre-determined by Synthesis in collaboration with our partner company.

• Through an exclusive «Syndication Agreement» with Synthesis, our partner

company co-invests in each individual transaction, ensuring alignment of interests («skin in the game»).

• In addition, unlike the unsecured investments available via many online platforms, all our invoice factoring transactions are made on a recourse basis.

Our Strategies: COMMODITY TRADE FINANCE

• Trade finance is the financing of international trade. One of the oldest forms of

banking, it facilities the growth of international trade, whilst displaying many attractive characteristics for investors:

• Consistency of returns • Attractive yields

• Low volatility

• “Real economy” investment (tied to specific commercial transactions – not a “speculative” strategy.

COMMODITY TRADE FINANCE: Some Key Statistics

INTERNATIONAL CHAMBERS OF COMMERCE DATA ON TRADE FINANCE DEFAULT & LOSS

Is Trade Finance a secure asset class?

During the past 15 years, total dafaults on ALL trade fi-nanve lines: commodities, manufacturing and pharma-ceutical etc. was 0.5%.

Commodity trade finance lines experience even low-er defaults between 2008-2010: Fewlow-er than 3,000 (or 0.026%) defaults were observed in the full dataset of 11.4 million transactions.

During the recent crisis - 2008 and 2009 - only 445 (or 0.016%) defaults were reported out of a total of over 2.8 million transactions written through this period.

Default rates for off-balance sheet trade products were especially low, with only 947 (or 0.018%) defaults in a sample of 5.2 million transactions.

The data on default and loss rates (to the right), position trade finance - as an asset class - in an equivalent catego-ry to an A to AA rated credit.

Our Strategies: LEASES ON FIXED ASSETS

• Investing in leases on fixed assets reflects the «real economy» focus of Synthesis. As a primary theme, we have chosen to invest in aircraft leases.

As an investment, aircraft have the following advantages: • proven value curves

• low volatility

• regulation and protection under international law • systematic insurance coverage

• aircraft are maintained to strict schedules, and are moveable from low demand to high demand areas very quickly

Our Strategies: LEASES ON FIXED ASSETS

• Before the financial crisis, an aircraft lessor would typically have 80% of the aircraft financed by the many banks involved in the sector. Now, with banks under

pressure to preserve capital, these loan to values (‘LTV’) have been reduced to 60%-70%. This opens up the possibility for third party investors to fill the funding gap.

• Synthesis is advised by a specialized company , whose Chairman, a 40-year aircraft industry veteran, was one of the first to use the concept of operating leases to finance aircraft. The team is comprised of experts in aviation, leasing, operations and technology.

• This advisory relationship is contractual, but in line with our partner company’s policy of not charging fees to lenders, Synthesis benefits from investment advice at
