Investment Grade Corporate Bond

²Benchmark represents the Bloomberg U.S. Corporate Bond Index.
All investments carry a certain degree of risk, including the possible loss of principal. Investments are also subject to political, market, currency and regulatory risks or economic developments. There are risks specifically associated with fixed income investments such as interest rate risk and credit risk. Bond values fluctuate in price in response to market conditions. Typically, when interest rates rise, there is a corresponding decline in bond values. This risk may be more pronounced for bonds with longer-term maturities. Credit risk refers to the possibility that the bond issuer will not be able to make principal and interest payments. High yield securities are generally rated lower than investment grade securities and may be subject to greater market fluctuations, increased price volatility, risk of issuer default, less liquidity, or loss of income and principal compared to investment grade securities.

The Aristotle Investment Grade Corporate Bond – Composite (the Composite) includes all discretionary accounts managed in this strategy. The objective of the Aristotle Investment Grade Corporate Bond strategy is to optimize long-term returns with a focus on mitigating market risk. The strategy is benchmarked to the Bloomberg U.S. Corporate Bond Index. The accounts in this composite consist of all separately managed fee-paying discretionary portfolios invested mainly in Investment Grade Credit securities, with a benchmark similar to the Bloomberg U.S. Corporate Bond Index in both asset class allocation and duration. The Composite will include only accounts that do not utilize leverage and do not have significant tax treatment or cash flow needs. It excludes Wrap accounts. A list of composite descriptions is available upon request. Past performance is not indicative of future results. The Portfolio Data, Allocation by Credit Rating, Top 5 Overweights and Underweights by Industry, Top 10 Holdings and Contribution to Duration figures shown are based on a representative account from the Composite. The representative account was chosen since, in our view, it is the account within the Composite that most closely reflects the portfolio management style of the strategy. Not every client’s account will have these exact characteristics. The actual characteristics with respect to any particular client account will vary based on a number of factors, including but not limited to: (i) the size of the account; (ii) investment restrictions applicable to the account, if any; and (iii) market exigencies at the time of investment. Aristotle Credit Partners, LLC (Aristotle Credit) reserves the right to modify its current investment strategies and techniques based on changing market dynamics or client needs. This is not a recommendation to buy or sell a particular security. Recommendations made in the last 12 months are available upon request. The Bloomberg U.S. Corporate Bond Index measures the performance of investment grade corporate bonds that are U.S. dollar-denominated and have a remaining maturity of greater than one year. The volatility (beta) of the Composite may be greater or less than that of the benchmark. It is not possible to invest directly in this index.

Yield to Worst is the lowest potential yield expressed as a percent that can be received on a bond without the issuer actually defaulting. Effective Duration is an approximate measure of the strategy’s sensitivity to interest rate changes taking into consideration any maturity shortening features. Maturity (Avg.) is a finite period of time at the end of which the financial instrument will cease to exist and the principal is repaid with interest. Coupon (Avg.) is the weighted average of the coupon of each bond in the strategy. Price (Avg.) is the weighted average of each bond price in the portfolio. Turnover is calculated by taking either the total purchases or total sales of portfolio securities (whichever is less), over a particular period, and dividing it by the monthly average market value of the portfolio during that period. Credit Rating is sourced from Standard & Poor’s (S&P), Moody’s and Fitch. Ratings values are based on the middle of the three ratings if all three credit rating agencies rate the security; based on the higher rating if rated by two of three credit rating agencies; or based on the sole agency’s rating if rated by only one of the three credit rating agencies. The ratings represent their (S&P, Moody’s, Fitch) opinions as to the quality of the securities they rate. The ratings from AAA (S&P, Fitch) or Aaa (Moody’s) (extremely strong capacity to meet its financial commitment) to D (S&P, Fitch) or C (Moody’s) (in default). Ratings are relative and subjective and are not absolute standards of quality. The ratings provided relate to the underlying securities within the portfolio and not the portfolio itself. Unrated securities do not necessarily indicate low credit quality.
