   Volta Finance Limited (VTA / VTAS) -- May 2019 monthly report 
 
   NOT FOR RELEASE, DISTRIBUTION OR PUBLICATION, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, IN OR 
INTO THE UNITED STATES 
 
   ***** 
 
   Guernsey, 14 June 2019 
 
   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 NAV* total return performance was +1.3%, bringing the 
YTD performance to 7.3%. 
 
   This good performance, in May and since the beginning of the year, 
demonstrated again Volta's ability to generate performance as soon as 
the overall environment is supportive. In 2016, after suffering the 
contagion of the oil and gas crisis in the US, Volta experienced a 
similarly strong performance (15.2% in calendar 2016). With a 7.4% 
performance as at the end of May, 2019 is showing very similar momentum 
as Volta's portfolio still yields in excess of 11%. 
 
   For the rest of 2019 we expect neither a significant economic downturn, 
nor any significant episode of volatility, as we see signs that 
investors have been and remain cautious in deploying capital. This 
continued skepticism, in some way, limits the probability of a 
significant hike in volatility. 
 
   In May, all sub-asset classes contributed to the performance as the 
monthly performances were, in local currency: +0.8% for Bank Balance 
Sheet transactions, +1.5% for CLO Equity tranches; +1.1% for CLO Debt; 
+1.5% for Cash Corporate Credit deals; and +0.2% for ABS. 
 
   As at the end of May, taking into account the need to pay the June 
dividend payment (EUR15 cents per share on 27(th) June) Volta is almost 
fully invested having received in May EUR3.6m as the final payment of a 
Bank Balance sheet transaction initiated in May 2016 (a Swiss SME 
transaction that was couponing at CHF3m Libor + 11.8%). 
 
   As at the end of May we saw again the positive impact of Volta's current 
strategy (increasing the CLO Equity bucket and reducing CLO debt and the 
leverage on CLO debt) as Volta was able to maintain its ongoing cash 
flows at an historically high level. The total cash amount generated 
during the last six months in terms of interest and coupons reached 
EUR20.2m, an annualised 13.6% yield to closing NAV. 
 
   As at the end of May 2019, Volta's NAV was EUR297.5m or EUR8.13 per 
share. The GAV stood at EUR337.5m. 
 
   *It should be noted that approximately 10.2% of Volta's GAV comprises 
investments 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 are valued 
using the most recently available NAV for each fund or quoted price for 
such subordinated note. The most recently available fund NAV or quoted 
price was for 6.3% as at 30 April 2019 and for 3.9% as at 29 March 2019. 
 
 
   ** "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.
