   Volta Finance Limited (VTA) - May 2017 monthly report 
 
   NOT FOR RELEASE, DISTRIBUTION OR PUBLICATION, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, IN OR 
INTO THE UNITED STATES 
 
   ***** 
 
   Guernsey, 16 June 2017 
 
   AXA IM has published the Volta Finance Limited (the "Company" or "Volta 
Finance" or "Volta") monthly report for May. The full report is attached 
to this release and will be available on Volta's website shortly 
(www.voltafinance.com). 
 
   PERFORMANCE and PORTFOLIO ACTIVITY 
 
   In May, Volta's Estimated NAV* performance was +0.6%. This positive 
performance is mostly due to the good performance of the CLO Equity 
bucket and is in line with the modest but positive performance of credit 
markets in May. 
 
   The depreciation of the dollar against Euro contributed to -0.7%. The 
negative contribution this month needs to be put in perspective with the 
positive contribution (circa +2.1%) for the period from March 2016 to 
March 2017. Volta currency exposures are limited and through time are 
not expected to be a significant driver of performance. 
 
   During the month, Volta did not purchase nor sell any assets. 
 
   At the end of May 2017, Volta's Estimated NAV* was EUR311.3m or EUR8.52 
per share. The GAV stood at EUR354.6m. A 16 cents per share quarterly 
dividend payment is scheduled to be paid on the 29(th) of June 
(ex-dividend date was June 8(th) ). 
 
   In May, mark-to-market variations** of Volta's asset classes were: +0.9% 
for Synthetic Corporate Credit deals; +2.6% for CLO Equity tranches; 
0.8% for CLO Debt tranches, 0.0% for Cash Corporate Credit deals; and 
-0.2% for ABS. 
 
   In May, Volta generated the equivalent of EUR1.1m in interest and 
coupons net of repo costs (non-euro amounts translated into euro using 
end-of-month cross currency rates). This brings the total cash amount 
generated during the last six months in terms of interest and coupons to 
EUR15.7m. 
 
   Cash holdings or cash equivalent instruments at the end of May totaled 
EUR40.2m. EUR5.8m will be used to pay for the end of June dividend. 
 
   The current level of cash is higher than usual and mainly reflects the 
strong prepayments that occurred recently. Our view is still that credit 
markets are now quite fully valued and this amount will be deployed in 
due course when better opportunities arise. Typically we expect to be 
able to deploy more capital in CLO Equity tranches and in Bank Balance 
Sheet transactions. We expect to utilize CLO warehouse exposure as a way 
to access CLO equity positions with better economics. 
 
   Volta's currency exposure is relatively unchanged since the end of 
April. The exposure to the US Dollar at the end of May was still circa 
24% against circa 33% one year ago. 
 
   In May we closed the modest and positive duration position that was 
added to the portfolio in Q4 2015. It modestly contributed to +0.2% to 
Volta performance during the period. This kind of hedge is aimed at 
dampening downside volatility arising from shorter-term mark to market 
developments that may arise. Ultimately, the returns of Volta continue 
to be predominantly driven by the performance and the strong cash flows 
from the structured finance assets held but we believe that these hedges 
will contribute to a better volatility profile. 
 
   * It should be noted that approximately 10.2% of Volta's GAV comprises 
investments in funds for which the relevant NAVs as at the month-end 
date are normally available only after Volta's NAV has already been 
published. Volta's policy is to publish its own NAV on as timely a basis 
as possible in order to provide shareholders with Volta's appropriately 
up-to-date NAV information. Consequently, such investments in funds are 
valued using the most recently available NAV for each fund. The most 
recently available fund NAV was as at: 31 March 2017 for 1.0% of Volta's 
GAV and at 28 April for 9.2% of Volta's GAV. 
 
   ** "Mark-to-market variation" is calculated as the Dietz-performance of 
the assets in each bucket, taking into account the Mark-to-Market of the 
assets at month-end, payments received from the assets over the period, 
and ignoring changes in cross currency rates. Nevertheless, some 
residual currency effects could impact the aggregate value of the 
portfolio when aggregating each bucket.
