    RiverRock Senior Loan Fund II (“RSLF2”)

    9 Year Term 2023 Fundraising

    • RiverRock Senior Loan Fund II (“RSLF2”) is a joint venture between RiverRock and ING Bank. For every ING origination, we overlay a second opinion via our own credit selection process. Meanwhile, ING’s focus on Club Deals ensures lower leverage, stronger covenants and higher returns for LPs.
    • We invest in floating-rate loans only. LPs benefit from rising Euribor, which has helped double return to the 8-10% range (Euribor + 450-550bps). Current weighted average return is 9.10%.
    • ING has 70 deal originators spread across Europe, dwarfing other credit funds and making our deployment speed fast, predictable, and constant.
    • Thus, our final portfolio will result in best-in-class diversification with 100 loans. Typical borrowers have €375m sales, €75m EBITDA and are rated BB-.
    • Amortized-cost accounting avoids M2M volatility. For predecessor fund RSLF1, valuations have ranged between 100-100.50% throughout.
    • Every quarter, we provide LPs with three separate reports. The first covers new investments and portfolio updates, the second provides a comprehensive quarterly rundown on every loan’s performance and outlook, and the third reports on ESG.

    RiverRock Absolute Return Alternative Credit Fund (“ARAC”)

    Open-ended 2023

    • RiverRock Absolute Return Alternative Credit Fund (“ARAC” or “the Fund”) is a partnership between RiverRock European Capital Partners LLP and its subsidiaries (“RiverRock”) and CFE.
    • The strategy is to invest primarily in corporate’s private debt of public and private companies operating in essential sectors or major infrastructure projects which are crucial for the development of a country’s economy, therefore minimizing credit risk while targeting areas with limited access to capital markets.
    • ARAC not only continues the strategy of the Debt Opportunities Plus Fund (“DOPF”), a fund managed by CFE with a successful track record proven over 19 years, but also adds an ESG overlay (Article 8 of the SFDR).
    • ARAC will primarily invest in key sectors of developing market economies whereby the debtor may be backed by sovereign guarantees and/or is partially or fully owned by the State. ARAC will also opportunistically invest in developed markets when corporate debtors offer attractive returns on a risk-adjusted basis.
    • The underlying investment assets are a combination of credit instruments with different durations to enhance the portfolio returns and satisfy the liquidity needs of the Fund.
    • The Fund targets returns of 6M Euribor + 8.0% per annum1 (net of fees) with low correlation to the market and prioritization of the conservation of capital under all circumstances with an additional 5% first-loss protection.
