As more fully set forth in Item 8,
• the BOF Funds invest primarily, although not exclusively, in residential and
commercial whole loans, consumer loans, real estate owned and real estate, asset-
backed securities and other credit-sensitive financial instruments. The BOF Funds
generally focus on the acquisition and, primarily through the Registrant’s subsidiaries
and affiliates, the management and servicing of credit-sensitive loans and real estate
owned, asset-backed securities and related derivative instruments.
• Certain BOF Funds also invest in corporate equity and debt instruments, including
instruments issued by financial services businesses that are private and/or less liquid,
and in mortgage servicing rights (through an investment in the MSR Funds).
• The MSR Funds invest primarily in mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”) and MSR-
associated assets (e.g., repurchased agency whole loans, loans awaiting securitization,
and credit risk transfer instruments), but also invest in other mortgage-related and
financial services-related investments, including, mortgage and asset-backed securities
and public and private equity securities.
• The BMS Funds, Ivalo Fund, and Seaview Fund invest primarily in asset-backed
securities.
• The Liquid Credit Strategies Funds invest primarily, although not exclusively, in asset
backed securities, equity and debt securities of finance and mortgage related issuers,
and derivatives related thereto.
• The BOF-V Oceanview Funds invest in a controlling equity interest in the Oceanview
Group, a group of insurance companies that as part of their insurance operations invest
their assets in a wide array of investments that includes mortgage loans, mortgage-
backed securities, private funds, collateralized fund obligations, and corporate debt
securities.
• The Suttons Bay Fund is a separately managed investment vehicle that invests in other
Funds.
In 2023, the Registrant’s wholly-owned indirect subsidiary, Pingora Asset Management, LLC,
assigned its investment management agreements to the Registrant. As a result, the Registrant
now serves as an investment adviser with discretionary investment authority for Pingora’s
former clients, including a separately managed account for an institutional investor (the
“Pingora SMA”) and a pooled investment vehicle with a master-feeder structure, known as
Pingora MSR JV I (the “Pingora Fund,” together with the Pingora SMA, the “Pingora Clients”),
which are no longer in their investment periods. The Pingora Clients invested exclusively in
securities arising from one or more specified pools of mortgage servicing rights related to U.S.
mortgage loans. The Pingora Clients are no longer open to new investors and are in the
distribution phase of their limited terms.
The Registrant also acts as a sub-adviser to the Blackstone Alternative Multi-Strategy Fund,
an investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Company
Act”) that trades under the ticker BXMIX (“the “Blackstone Fund”) that are sponsored by
another unaffiliated SEC-registered investment adviser. The Registrant has discretionary
investment authority with respect to its sub-advised portion of the Blackstone Fund. The
Blackstone Fund’s adviser seeks capital appreciation by allocating the Fund’s assets among a
variety of non-traditional or “alternative” investment strategies, and Bayview’s allocated
portions of such Fund invests primarily in asset-backed securities.
C. Availability of Customized Services for Individual Clients
While several Funds have similar and overlapping investment objectives and investment
parameters, Bayview’s advice with respect to the Funds is made in accordance with the
investment objectives and guidelines as set forth in each Fund’s constituent documents, which
include any confidential private placement memoranda, organizational documents and/or
investment management agreements. Bayview has the right to enter into agreements, such as
side letters, with certain underlying investors of the Funds that may, in each case, provide for
terms of investment that are more favorable than the terms provided to other underlying
investors of the Funds.
D. Wrap Fee Programs
Not applicable.
