MLM
MLM provides investment advice to Clients and not individually to the limited partners, members,
or underlying investors in Clients. The assets of each Client are managed in accordance with the
terms of the relevant limited partnership agreement (“
LPA”), investment advisory agreement,
investment sub-advisory agreement, prospectus, indenture, collateral management agreement, and
other organizational documents with respect to such Client (collectively, the “
Governing
Documents”).
In our capacity as collateral manager to the CLOs, we control the management of the collateral
supporting certain debt obligations issued by the CLOs. The collateral generally consists of debt
obligations, secured claims, any equity securities acquired as part of a unit consisting of both a
debt obligation and an equity security, certain derivative instruments, and, rarely, unsecured
claims. We perform numerous administrative and advisory functions with respect to the collateral,
including selecting the portfolio of collateral and instructing the trustee with respect to any
acquisition, disposition, or reinvestment or proceeds of the collateral. Our ability to invest a CLO’s
assets is constrained by the portfolio quality criteria and asset and income coverage tests
established in the indenture pursuant to which the CLO’s securities are issued and in any other
relevant Governing Documents.
