Leveraged loans sold off sharply in November and December
Investors were likely selling as a result of interest rate views, not underlying credit concerns, which created an attractive buying opportunity via CLOs
Many managers viewed the performance in loans as technical in nature, which has seemingly been validated given the significant rally in leveraged loans and CLOs

What Is Opportunistic Credit?
9Please see Corbin endnotes and risk disclosures for important information.
Asset sales: strategies focused on purchasing distressed assets from banks and other forced sellers
New loan originations: lending opportunities from difficulties in accessing capital
Orphaned markets: new regulatory requirements make many markets cost-prohibitive
Asset Sales: Post Financial Crisis (2009-2012)
Distressed
o U.S. Distressed (Corporate and Structured Credit)
o European Non-Performing Loans
Performing & Non Coreo Banks offload non-core lending platforms and
“scratch & dent” loan pools as they are typically uneconomic for banks to hold for regulatory reasons
Market Normalization: Fewer Market Participants
Withdrawals: Banks and insurance companies retreating due to regulation and non-bank entrants taking market share Examples:o Some asset classes orphaned by banks due to high
costs of regulatory capitalo Lack of market making and proprietary trading
increases returns for liquidity providerso Corporate: Transitional Bridge and Lower Middle Market Loans
o Commercial Real Estate (Acquisition)o Residential Mortgage, Auto (non-prime or non-QM)o Marketplace Lending

Senior-secured debt of both traditional and off-the-run issuers; good alpha and liquidity
One of the highest quality risk-rewards available by earning illiquidity premium. Equity-like return with credit-like risk profile
CDO’s discounted to underlying asset value due to the complexity premium of the CDO structure
Exposure to pools of corporate loans; structure provides cheap, non recourse term leverage
Portfolio of leases which have steady cash flows; the business exhibits debt-like characteristics
Benefits from demand for high yield assets with high credit enhancement and optionality on improved housing market
Privately originated or secondary debt and equity investment in high quality real estate assets

Expected Returns are estimated and may not reflect future performance. Corbin generally tends to invest in lower‐rated tranches. Lower‐rated tranches represent lower degrees of credit quality and pay higher spreads over treasuries to compensate for the attendant risks. Structured securities are extremely complex and are subject to risks related to, among other thing, changes in interest rates, the rate of defaults in the collateral pool, the exercise of redemption rights by more senior tranches and the possibility that a liquid market will not exist when a Corbin managed fund seeks to sell its interest in a structured security. The examples above are intended merely to be illustrative of the types of material CLO opportunities Corbin has recently decided to participate in. There is no assurance that any of these investments will be profitable or that these types of opportunities or other similar opportunities will present themselves going forward.

Asset Class Example: Direct Lending Example
Source: Corbin. Please see Corbin risk disclosures and endnotes for important information.
As the need for liquidity remains, hedge funds and other non-bank lenders have filled the void
Often structured as transition lending, which is short-term financing used until a person or company secures permanent financing (1-3 years)
o Typically highly structured with high coupons, shorter durations and stronger covenants
Recent regulatory changes have limited bank lending activity, creating opportunities for non-bank lenders
BUSINESS
TRADITIONAL LENDING
BUSINESS
DIRECT LENDING
HEDGE FUNDS
Increased regulatory requirements have resulted in decreased lending activity by banks, despite projected new loan demands, creating attractive supply/demand imbalances

Asset Class Example: Commercial Real Estate Bridge Lending
19For illustrative purposes only. Please see Corbin endnotes and risk disclosures for important information.
Commercial real estate is often competitive, but shorter duration bridge lending can provide compelling, differentiated opportunities that are less sensitive to economic cycle risk
Shorter duration transition loans serve to bridge the gap until lenders can access cheaper financing from banks
12-24 months
Managers can provide bridge financing for land acquisition or through building
completion until bank will provide construction loan
or refinanced stabilized bank loan at more attractive rate
Overview:
Loan Originator underwrites and originates loans to borrowers seeking financing
SPV is created with strict borrower eligibility requirements to protect Corbin/partners against portfolio losses, also protected by equity cushion, with LTV based on company’s loss ratio
Corbin/partners exposed to default risk of underlying loans only if realized losses exceed equity cushion and interest profits in SPV
Asset Class Example: Specialty Finance
For illustrative purposes only; Corbin will generally work in concert with partners on specialty finance investments. Please see Corbin endnotes and risk disclosures for important information.20
We believe certain specialty finance deals may offer high quality returns and self-liquidating collateral to complement traditional private credit exposure

1. PAST PERFORMANCE IS NOT NECESSARILY INDICATIVE OF FUTURE RESULTS.
2. Indices referenced herein are passive, and do not reflect any fees or expenses unless otherwise stated. While the performance of the Corbin funds discussed herein have been compared here with the performance of well‐known and widely recognized indices, the various indices may not represent an appropriate benchmark for the Corbin funds. The holdings of the Corbin funds discussed herein may differ significantly from the securities that comprise the various indices. Also, the performance and volatility of the indices may be materially different from that of the Corbin funds. Investors cannot invest directly in an index (although one can invest in an index fund designed to closely track such index). Index returns represent general market results, assume the reinvestment of dividends and other distributions, and do not reflect deduction for fees, expenses or taxes applicable to an actual investment.
3. The S&P 500 Index consists of 500 stocks chosen for market size, liquidity and industry group representation. It is a market‐value weighted index (stock price times number of shares outstanding), with each stockʹs weight in the Index proportionate to its market value. This Index does not reflect any fees or expenses.
4. The Bloomberg Barclays US Aggregate Bond Index represents securities that are US domestic, taxable and dollar denominated. The index covers the US investment grade fixed rate bond market, with index components for government and corporate securities, mortgage pass‐through securities and asset‐backed securities. These major sectors are subdivided into more specific indices that are calculated and reported on a regular basis. This Index does not reflect any fees or expenses.
5. The ICE Bof AML US High Yield Index tracks the performance of US dollar denominated below investment grade corporate debt publicly issued in the US domestic market.
6. The Bank of America Merrill Lynch BB US High Yield Index is a subset of the Merrill Lynch High Yield Master II Index, including all securities rated BB1 through BB2, inclusive.
7. The Bank of America Merrill Lynch CCC & Lower US High Yield Index tracks the performance of US dollar denominated below investment grade corporate debt publicly issued in the US domestic market.
8. The Barclays US Corporate High Yield Total Return Index measures the USD‐denominated, high yield, fixed‐rate corporate bond market. Securities are classified as high yield if the middle rating of Moody’s, Fitch and S&P is Ba1/BB+/BB+ or below.
9. The S&P/LSTA US Leveraged Loan Total Return Index is a market value‐weighted index designed to measure the performance of the US leveraged loan market based upon market weightings, spreads, and interest payments.
10. The CLO BB Portfolio Discount Margin is a JP Morgan Dataquery Index containing more than 600 underlying CLOs to demonstrate CLO market price action.
11. CMBS market performance is measured by the Bloomberg Barclays US CMBS: Agg‐Eligible – AM/AJ index. CMBS market yield is measured by the Bloomberg Barclays US CMBS AAA index. CMBS spread is measured by Citigroup Global Markets research.
12. Corbin will make direct investments and co‐investments. The scope, type, nature and/or amount of diligence that Corbin will perform with respect to these investments will differ depending on a number of factors, including how the investment opportunity has been presented to Corbin, the nature and structure of the investment and whether Corbin has been provided with access to independent information regarding the investment. In certain circumstances, including when co‐investments are made upon the advice or recommendation of, or alongside as a co‐investor with, or otherwise in partnership with or with the involvement of, third party investment managers, Corbin expects to rely heavily on the investment analysis and diligence conducted by the third party investment managers, and also expects to rely heavily on the third party investment managers for ongoing monitoring of such investments. In these circumstances, Corbin will review and assess the third party investment managers’ investment analysis and diligence that has been shared with Corbin, and Corbin will determine the extent to which it supplements such analysis and diligence with its own independent work. Corbin will also perform its own diligence on the third party investment managers, the scope, type, nature and/or amount of which may vary from depending on the circumstances. When Corbin has sourced a direct investment independently without the involvement of any third party investment managers, Corbin will conduct its own investment analysis and diligence, which also may vary depending upon the nature and structure of the investment, and Corbin will monitor such investments on an ongoing basis. In conducting its own investment analysis and diligence, Corbin may employ the services of third parties.

Strategy classifications by Corbin Capital Partners, L.P. used throughout this presentation are subjective and may change at any time without notice. The strategy classificationinformation provided may not accurately correspond to your definition of certain investment strategies and in fact your definition may materially differ from ours.
With respect to the investment vehicles advised by Corbin Capital Partners, L.P. and the funds in which they invest (“underlying funds”):
Funds are speculative and involve a high degree of risk; the funds may be leveraged; the funds’ performance can be volatile; an investor could lose all or a substantial amount of hisor her investment; the fund managers have total trading authority over the funds; the use of a single advisor applying generally similar trading programs could mean lack ofdiversification and, consequently, higher risk; there is no secondary market for an investor’s interest in the funds and none is expected to develop; there may be restrictions ontransferring interests in the funds; the funds’ high fees and expenses may offset the funds’ trading profits.
The underlying funds trade a myriad of instruments. Changes in exchange rates may cause the value of an investment to increase or decrease. Some investments may be restrictedor illiquid, there may be no readily available market and there may be difficulty in obtaining reliable information about their value and the extent of the risks to which suchinvestments are exposed. Certain investments, including warrants and similar securities, often involve a high degree of gearing or leverage so that a relatively small movement inprice of the underlying security or benchmark may result in a disproportionately large movement, unfavorable as well as favorable, in the price of the warrant or similar security.In addition, certain investments, including futures, swaps, forwards, certain options and derivatives, whether on or off exchange, may involve contingent liability resulting in aneed for the investor to pay more than the amount originally invested and may possibly result in further loss exceeding the amount invested. Transactions in over‐the‐counterderivatives involve additional risks as there is no market on which to close out an open position; it may be impossible to liquidate an existing position, to assess the value of aposition or to assess the exposure to risk. Investors should carefully consider whether such investments are suitable for them in light of their experience, circumstances andfinancial resources.
