Item 8. Method of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss
ACM provides investment management services for Latin America-focused credit investing
through a private markets strategy.
Private Credit Fund
For the Private Credit Fund, ACM seeks income and capital appreciation by pursuing a strategy of
making portfolio investments in private debt instruments using a variety of transaction structures and
types, including, without limitation, special purpose and other investment vehicles, senior secured or
unsecured operating or holding company loans, preferred and subordinated obligations, and certain
derivative instruments such as credit default swaps, total return swaps, and credit-linked notes. As
part of this strategy, ACM also seeks, where relevant and appropriate, customized covenants
designed to optimize lender negotiating leverage, enforceability, and the realization of target
portfolio returns.
ACM’s investment process entails a thorough assessment of the global macroeconomic environment
and opportunities in selected Latin American countries that ACM believes are benefiting from
significant positive changes such as political and economic reforms and stability, a strengthening
economy, increases in capital inflows, a favorable inflation rate and investor confidence. In selecting
investments, ACM also gives emphasis to the underlying financial condition, prospects and other
qualities of issuers or borrowers, as applicable, as well as the extent to which market interest rates
may impact the potential investment return.
GENERAL RISK FACTORS
Overall Investment Risk. All securities investments risk the loss of capital and there can be no
assurance that the Fund will not incur losses (or that investors therein will not lose some or all of
their invested capital).
Dependence on Key Personnel. The success of ACM’s investment activities depend upon the
experience of ACM personnel. The loss of the services of certain ACM personnel could have a
material adverse effect on the operations of the Fund.
Heightened Risks of Emerging Markets Investing. Emerging markets such as those in Latin
America are generally subject to greater market volatility, political, social and economic instability,
uncertain trading markets and more governmental limitations on foreign investment than more
developed markets. In addition, emerging markets may be subject to lower trading volume and
greater price fluctuations than companies in more developed markets. Securities law and the
enforcement of systems of taxation in many emerging market countries may also be less robust and
change quickly and unpredictably. In addition, investments in emerging markets securities may also
be subject to additional transaction costs, delays in settlement procedures, and lack of timely
information.
Financial Institution Risk; Distress Events. An investment in an Alterna strategy is subject to the
risk that one of the banks, brokers, hedging counterparties, lenders or other custodians of some or all
of the portfolios’ assets that Alterna engages (each, a “Financial Institution”) fails to perform its
obligations or experiences insolvency, closure, receivership or other financial distress or difficulty
(each, a “Distress Event”). Distress Events can be caused by factors including eroding market
sentiment, significant withdrawals, fraud, malfeasance, poor performance or accounting
irregularities. In the event a Financial Institution experiences a Distress Event, Alterna and/or its
clients may not be able to access deposits, borrowing facilities or other services for an extended
period of time or ever. Although assets held by regulated Financial Institutions in the United States
frequently are insured up to stated balance amounts by organizations such as the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”), in the case of banks, or the Securities Investor Protection
Corporation (“SIPC”), in the case of certain broker-dealers, amounts in excess of the relevant
insurance are subject to risk of loss, and any non-U.S. Financial Institutions that are not subject to
similar regimes pose increased risk of loss. Although in recent years governmental intervention has
resulted in additional protections for depositors, there can be no assurance that governmental
intervention will be successful or avoid the risk of loss, substantial delays or negative impact on
banking or brokerage conditions or markets.
Competitive Market for Investment Opportunities. The activity of identifying, completing and
realizing on attractive investments involves a high degree of uncertainty. There can be no assurance
that the Fund will be able to locate and complete attractive investments that fall within the Fund’s
investment objective and strategy, or that the Fund will be able to invest fully its subscribed capital
in a manner consistent with its investment strategy.
Interest Rate Risk. Investments in the Fund is subject to interest rate risk, which generally causes
the value of a fixed income portfolio to decrease when interest rates rise. The Fund may be subject
to a greater risk of rising interest rates when rates are low, and the resulting effect of potential
...
