Company: Altum Capital Management, LLC (“Altum”) Name: Megan Cruse, Director of Marketing & Investor Relations Email: [email protected] Web Address: www.altumcredit.com Address: 681 Fifth Avenue, New York, NY 10022 We are excited to receive this recognition of our efforts. Altum has a proven track record of demonstrating success in generating positive returns with low volatility, and is powered by a strong team inspired by the pursuit of complex opportunities in a constantly changing market. Opportunity, excellence, and integrity help define the strategy outlook, and the recognition of that success inspires us to continue the hard work of helping us pursue attractive risk-adjusted returns while seeking to preserve capital on behalf of our clients. Marjorie Hogan, the CIO and Managing Member, has been managing the strategy since July 2009, implementing an opportunistic strategy that invests across a wide range of structured credit market sectors including CLOs, RMBS, CMBS, and other asset backed securities in both the U.S. and Europe. Through a detailed, analytics-based approach, we seek opportunities, using no margin borrowing, that add value using techniques tailored to specific products and points in the market cycle. Over the past six years, we have built sophisticated models and analytical systems for different types of structured products, which we think provide a trading edge in these complex markets and an advantage over most compet- itors. We like uncompetitive markets where assets are overlooked and undervalued with attractive positive convexity properties and move in and out of sectors as opportunities arise. Our team has extensive experience and the strategy relies upon sophis- ticated models and analytical systems for different types of structured products, which we believe provide a trading edge in these complex markets. In order to ensure that we have the adequate resources, we employ an expert team and have built out complex models that are processed on robust data servers. We strive to maintain an open forum for communication, and prioritize the benefits that this brings to the client. Client service is an integral part to our business. It’s a daily concern and it’s important to Altum that we maintain high standards in client response and service. Our marketing and investor relations teams work with the operations team in order to promote efficiency and transparency in all of our interactions with clients. This award was given by Wealth & Finance, a financial magazine which is independent from Altum.
