The investments were diversified across 8 sectors and 24 sub-sectors and had an annualised yield-to-maturity (or yield-to-worst in the case of callable bonds) of 8.6% and a weighted average life of approximately 5.0 years. Private debt investments represented 85.2% of the total portfolio and 64.2% of the portfolio comprised floating rate assets.

The Company's invested portfolio remains geographically diverse with 42% located across the US, 17% in the UK, 29% in Europe, and 12% in Australia/New Zealand. Currently the Company is not investing in Italy but has invested in selective opportunities in Spain.
