A “U.S. person” is:

any partnership or corporation organized or incorporated under the laws of the United States;
any estate of which any executor or administrator is a U.S. person;
any trust of which any trustee is a U.S. person;
any agency or branch of a foreign entity located in the United States;
any non-discretionary account or similar account (other than an estate or trust) held by a dealer or other fiduciary for the benefit or account of a U.S. person;
any discretionary account or similar account (other than an estate or trust) held by a dealer or other fiduciary organized, incorporated, or (if an individual) resident in the United States; and
any partnership or corporation if:
organised or incorporated under the laws of any foreign jurisdiction; and
formed by a U.S. person principally for the purpose of investing in securities not registered under the U.S. Securities Act, unless it is organised or incorporated, and owned, by accredited investors (as defined in the rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission) who are not natural persons, estates or trusts.
“Relevant persons” are (i) persons who are outside the United Kingdom or (ii) investment professionals falling within Article 19(5) of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (Financial Promotion) Order 2005 (the “Order”) or (iii) high net worth companies, and other persons to whom it may lawfully be communicated, falling within Article 49(2) (a) to (d) of the Order.

Volta’s March monthly report reported a 32.4% drop in NAV ‒ better than most of its peers. We believe the price falls reflect both economic realities (the likelihood of higher defaults, rating downgrades seeing partial diversion of cashflows from CLO equity positions) and sentiment effects exaggerating these realities. We note that BGLF’s mark-to-model NAV, which looks through sentiment, fell by only 14%. Volta is managing its cashflows (e.g. dividend cut) to ensure liquidity through the crisis, but also to take re-investment opportunities. Returns from investments post the financial crisis were about twice those in the years immediately before.
