A “U.S. person” is:
any natural person resident in 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.

In multiple previous notes, we have discussed the resilience of Volta’s underlying portfolio, and once again, on fundamentals, we believe it should prove robust to short-term, Iran-war-related shocks. Specifically, we note i) the protections embedded within CLO vehicles, and ii) the manager’s track record of better-than-CLO market risk management, driven by CLO manager selection and portfolio construction. However, marking the book to market will introduce volatility into the NAV, with sentiment-driven pressure seeing downside in challenging environments and upside when perceived market risks reduce. The latest annualised cashflow generation is 16% of NAV, providing a good cushion for dividend sustainability.
