Marble Point Loan Financing Limited
27 December 2023
27 December 2023
The net asset value ("NAV") of Marble Point Loan Financing Limited ("MPLF") as at the close of business on 30 November 2023 is as follows:
Share class November 2023 October 2023 NAV Monthly Change NAV per Ordinary per Ordinary Share in NAV per Share (1) (1) Share (1) Ordinary Shares USD 0.5280 USD 0.5140 USD 0.0140 ------------------ ------------------- ---------------
PERFORMANCE
-- MPLF's ordinary share estimated NAV total return was 2.71% in November, compared to the total return of the Credit Suisse Leveraged Loan Index ("CSLLI") of 1.19%.
-- Secondary loan prices advanced in November as economic data indicated a moderating rate of inflation and broader markets rallied on the expectation of loosening monetary policy in 2024. In addition, the loan market technical remained supportive with consistent CLO demand and retail loan fund inflows. CLO equity valuations generally increased during the month in parallel with underlying loan price movements and a broader equity market rally.
-- As at 30 November 2023 MPLF had no exposure to CBS Radio, the one index constituent to default during the month. The index's lagging 12-month default rate by notional amount increased to 1.48% as at 30 November. As previously noted, while headline default rates remain below long term historical averages, we expect defaults to increase in coming quarters as the impact of higher rates on leveraged business models works through a cycle.
MARKET
-- The CSLLI delivered a 1.19% return in November as loan prices rallied on accommodating economic news and technical support in the market. The average indicative bid price of the CSLLI increased to 94.52% at 30 November from 94.12% at 31 October while the weighted average indicative bid price of MPLF's underlying loans increased to 94.48% at 30 November from 93.50% at 31 October.
-- November CLO issuance totaled $15.1 billion across 35 new issue CLOs, nearly eclipsing the $15.7 billion figure from February for the highest monthly figure for the year. CLO issuance was supported by increased domestic AAA participation as well as a desire to price incremental deals prior to the end of the year.
-- Institutional loan volume totaled $25.6 billion in November according to Pitchbook/LCD. Headline volumes increased slightly from October issuance figures, although the activity was still largely comprised of refinancing and add-on transactions as opposed to organic M&A activity.
-- Retail loan funds experienced an inflow of approximately $1.2 billion in November according to J.P. Morgan. While fund flows turned negative in October after three months of inflows, retail investors came back to the asset class amidst the stronger economic tone in November, further supporting secondary loan prices.
-- Since the end of November the average indicative bid price of the CSLLI has increased by 0.65% to 95.17% (as at 20 December 2023). Broader markets have rallied after dovish remarks from the Federal Reserve at their November meeting drove an increased expectation of rate cuts in 2024 and boosted risk assets.
INVESTMENT
-- As previously reported, during the month MPLF opportunistically sold $10.1 million notional of its investment in the Marble Point CLO XXV equity and $7.6 million notional of its investment in Marble Point CLO XXIII equity. A portion of the proceeds of the sales were made available for distribution to Liquidating Share Class holders.
-- During the month Investcorp priced and closed a reset of the Marble Point CLO XXV transaction. The existing transaction exited its non-call period in October and the reset includes a new five year reinvestment period while tightening the weighted average cost of debt by approximately 30 basis points from S+292 to S+267. Additionally, the reset upsized the target par amount of the transaction by $100 million. In connection with the closing of the reset MPLF invested an incremental $0.7 million in the equity tranche.
-- Subsequent to month end on 21 December, Investcorp priced Harvest US CLO 2023-1 ("HARUS231") a $400 million CLO, at which time MPLF committed to invest $6.2 million for a 17.1% interest in the equity tranche of the deal. The closing of HARUS231 is expected to occur on 1 February 2023.
-- HARUS231 has the following features:
o A reinvestment period of approximately five years
o A two year non-call period
o A 13 year final maturity
o An estimated effective yield of 12.0-14.0% as at the pricing date of the transaction
