Brochure Summary

Overview

Flat Rock Global, LLC (“Flat Rock” or “we” or “us”), a Wyoming limited liability company, was formed in 2016 and is controlled by Robert K. Grunewald. We provide investment advice to our clients in accordance with their investment objectives, policies and guidelines set forth in their applicable offering and/or governing documents, and not in accordance with the individual needs or objectives of any particular investor. We currently provide investment management and other services to three clients: (a) Flat Rock Enhanced Income Fund (“Enhanced Income Fund”), a newly organized Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”) as a continuously offered, non-diversified, closed-end management investment company that is operated as an interval fund; (b) Flat Rock Core Income Fund (“Core Income Fund”), a Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act as a continuously offered, non-diversified, closed-end management investment company that is operated as an interval fund; (c) Flat Rock Opportunity Fund (“Opportunity Fund”), a Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act as a continuously offered, non-diversified, closed-end management investment company that is operated as an interval fund; and (d) Flat Rock Credit Partners LLC (the “Private Fund,” together with Core Income Fund and Opportunity Fund, our “Clients”), a Delaware limited liability company operating as a private fund exempt from the registration requirements of the Investment Company Act by reason of the exemption specified in Section 3(c)(1) of the Investment Company Act. Only “accredited investors” (as defined under Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933) that are also “qualified clients” (as defined in Rule 205-2 under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended) may invest in the Private Fund. The Private Fund only has related-person investors, is closed to any new investors, and Flat Rock anticipates winding down the Private Fund in 2023. Enhanced Income Fund pursues its investment objective to generate current income and, as a secondary objective, long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in the junior debt tranches of collateralized loan obligations (“CLOs”) that own a pool of senior secured loans made to companies whose debt is rated below investment grade or, in limited circumstances, unrated (“Senior Secured Loans”). Enhanced Income Fund may place particular emphasis on CLO debt tranches initially rated ‘BB’ by a National Recognized Statistical
Rating Organization (“NRSRO”). To a lesser extent, Enhanced Income Fund may invest in other CLO debt securities, CLO equity or other debt securities as permitted by Flat Rock’s allocation policy. Core Income Fund pursues its investment objective by investing in a portfolio composed primarily of senior secured loans of U.S. middle-market companies (“Senior Loans”) and investment vehicles, such as collateralized loan obligations (“CLOs”), business development companies (“BDCs”) or senior loan facilities that provide Core Income Fund with exposure to Senior Loans. Core Income Fund expects that most of its Senior Loans will be made to borrowers with earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, or EBITDA, of between $5 million and $75 million annually. Core Income Fund may invest in lower grade investments, commonly called “junk,” which are either rated below investment grade by one or more nationally-recognized statistical rating agencies at the time of investment or may be unrated but determined by Flat Rock to be of comparable quality. Opportunity Fund’s strategy is to invest primarily in the equity and, to a lesser extent, in the junior debt tranches of CLOs that own a pool of senior secured loans made to companies whose debt is rated below investment grade or, in limited circumstances, unrated. Flat Rock determines when to sell Opportunity Fund’s investment and will consider the following factors: the performance of such investment compared to initial expectations and the risk adjusted returns available in other transactions Flat Rock is evaluating. The Private Fund’s strategy is to invest primarily in common stocks and other equity securities of BDCs that are traded on one or more nationally recognized securities exchanges. The equity securities in which the Private Fund may invest consist of common stocks, securities convertible into common stocks and preferred stocks. In addition, although the Private Fund primarily invests in equity securities, the Private Fund may also invest a portion of its net assets in (i) debt securities of BDCs and other issuers of any maturity, duration or credit rating, (ii) equity securities, debt securities and other investments of real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) and (iii) registered investment companies, including open-end and closed-end funds as Flat Rock determines in order to meet the Private Fund’s investment objective. Flat Rock has approximately $588 million in assets under management as of February 28, 2023. All of the assets that we manage are managed on a discretionary basis.
