PG GLOBAL INCOME INVESTMENTS LOAN STRATEGY DESIGNATED ACTIVITY COMPANY ANNUAL REPORT AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DIRECTORS' REPORT
The Directors present their report and the audited financial statements for the financial year ended 31 December 2021.
PRINCIPAL ACTIVITY
PG Global Income Investments Loan Strategy Designated Activity Company an Irish registered Company, was incorporated on 14 May 2019. The registered number of the Company is 650023. The Company, a special purpose securitisation vehicle, was established as a "Qualifying Company" under Section 110 of the Taxes Consolidation Act, 1997 (as amended) to issue Notes and to use the proceeds thereof to invest in a portfolio of assets.
The Company has issued a Profit Participating note to (PPN) fund its investment activities. The Profit Participating note does not have a fixed maturity date. All outstanding PPN's will be redeemed by the Issuer and cancelled as soon as reasonably practicable after the last eligible investment has been repaid or sold and the final distribution has been made. The maximum amount which may be issued under the Profit Participating note listing is AUD 2 billion.
Under the terms of the Profit Participating note the noteholder is entitled to receive all income and gains received by the Company as a result of its investment activities less certain expenses and less an amount of € 1,000 per annum retained by the Company. Due to the limited recourse nature of the Profit Participating note any losses incurred by the Company arising from its investment activities are ultimately borne by the noteholder.
The Profit Participating note is listed on the MTF facility of the Vienna Stock Exchange.
REVIEW OF THE BUSINESS
The fiscal year 31 December 2021 ended with uncertainty. As news spread of the Omicron variant, there has been a weaker tone across most asset classes including the Senior Secured Loan and Private Debt markets that the portfolio is invested in. In terms of the effects of inflation and the path of interest rates Partners Group also saw further developments such as the Bank of England increasing its benchmark interest rate in an attempt to offset the record inflation levels and the Federal Reserve indicating a number of interest rate hikes over 2022 - it is likely that other central banks will follow suit. Meanwhile, in terms of US and Euro leveraged loan default incidence, the past year saw rapid improvements in loan default rates, widely attributed to the flood of liquidity - via public and private channels
- provided to many stressed loan issuers to bolster short-term liquidity. This access to liquidity was critical for many companies, while providing a safety net for others.
FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS
Notwithstanding these developments and the numerous challenges that remains, the directors continue to believe that these are positive tailwinds for floating rate debt and that the portfolio should therefore outperform traditional fixed income. In line with the past year's focus on creating a defensive portfolio, the Portfolio Manager will continue to allocate to established businesses in sectors that have proven resilient through recent market dislocations.
RESULTS AND DIVIDENDS
The results for the year are shown on page 14. Dividends declared and paid for the year were AUD Nil (2020: Nil).
