   Volta Finance Limited (VTA / VTAS) -- April 2021 monthly report 
 
   NOT FOR RELEASE, DISTRIBUTION, OR PUBLICATION, IN WHOLE OR PART, IN OR 
INTO THE UNITED STATES 
 
   ***** 
 
   Guernsey, 12 May 2021 
 
   AXA IM has published the Volta Finance Limited (the "Company" or "Volta 
Finance" or "Volta") monthly report for April. The full report is 
attached to this release and will be available on Volta's website 
shortly (www.voltafinance.com). 
 
   PERFORMANCE and PORTFOLIO ACTIVITY 
 
   Volta has continued to perform well with +2.1% in April, reaching a 
total return of 8.4% for the first four months of 2021. 
 
   In April, Volta paid EUR0.14 per share dividend to shareholders (circa 
8% annualized yield), a EUR0.02 increase relative to the January 
dividend payment, evidencing the improving situation of Volta. 
 
   This time around, the performance was driven almost evenly by the solid 
performance from CLO equity and CLO debt tranches. This month, contrary 
to March, the USD depreciation cost almost 1% of the monthly 
performance. 
 
   The monthly asset class performances** were: +0.9% for Bank Balance 
Sheet transactions, +3.2% for CLO equity tranches; +3.7% for CLO debt; 
+6.2% for Cash Corporate Credit deals (this bucket comprises funds that 
have a one-month delay in publishing their NAV); and +0.0% for ABS. 
 
   In terms of fundamentals, trailing-12-month default rates continued to 
decline in April. Most rating agencies revised downward their projected 
default rates for 2021. Most of them are now forecasting default rates 
in the area of 2%, both for US loans and European loans. That is 
manageable for CLOs and should not trigger any cash flow diversions from 
the CLO equity positions held by the company. 
 
   In terms of cash flows, April is structurally a good month for Volta. 
Interest and coupons received totaled the equivalent of EUR8.6m. On a 
6-month rolling basis, Volta received the equivalent of EUR21.5m at the 
end of April (an increase of EUR0.4m since the end of March), 
representing a 16.8% annualised cash flow yield, based on the end April 
NAV. We still expect overall cash flows to continue to increase in the 
coming months/quarters. 
 
   In April Volta did not purchase any new assets, although the equivalent 
of EUR1.1m was called by the US warehouse we invested in recently. This 
warehouse is now expected to be transformed into a new CLO in the coming 
weeks. The performance of this warehouse will be as expected in the low 
20s area. 
 
   As at the end of April 2021, Volta's NAV was EUR259.3m or EUR7.09 per 
share. 
 
   The month-end cash position was EUR13.1m. 
 
   *It should be noted that approximately 4.4% 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 NAV on as timely a basis as possible 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 notes. The most recently available fund NAV or quoted price 
was 3.4% as at 31 March 2021 and 1.0% as at 31 December 2020. 
 
   ** "performances" of asset classes are calculated as the 
Dietz-performance of the assets in each bucket, taking into account the 
Mark-to-Market of the assets at period ends, 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.
