• Believing that alternative credit markets are inefficient and exploiting those inefficiencies

• Focusing on value investing and the critical relationship between value and price

• Advocating contrarianism and seeking to act when the market misprices

• Consistent analysis of “where we stand today,” rather than macro timing

• Believing in risk control, not risk avoidance

• Seeking to understand what we do not or cannot know

Focus on downside risk protection

• Rigorous investment underwriting and selection

• Proprietary risk and portfolio management systems

• Intense focus on portfolio management and asset allocation process

Clearly defined identity and expertise

• Unwavering philosophy and experience throughout all cycles

CIFC CLO Performance1

1. As of September 2020. The CIFC Fund Family includes all outstanding CLOs originated by CIFC from 2006 to 2020. All 1.0 equity performance numbers assume par equity purchase, and all 2.0 equity performance numbers assume the

majority equity purchase price. Note that no management fee rebates are reflected in the equity performance. Past performance is not indicative of future results.

2. Cumulative annualized equity returns (“CAER”) is represented by [Sum of Equity Distributions / Equity Proceeds at Close] multiplied by [360 / Total Days since Last Determination Date]. Past performance is not indicative of future results.

3. Additionally, for purposes of evaluating a comparison of default performance of managed funds compared to an index or indices, it should be noted that an index will include all defaults, while distressed assets held by a managed fund may be

sold prior to the occurrence of a default, including in anticipation thereof, and, if sold, any such assets will not be reflected in the default rates for such managed funds. Default levels are “spot” indicators which may or may not imply fund quality

or performance. Please see page 14 for the index description.

4. Represents cumulative distributions over the life of the CLO.

5. CIFC 2013-III-R, CIFC 2014-II-R, and CIFC 2014-IV-R represent re-issued CLOs. The % Equity Dist. and CAER related to those re-issued CLOs includes historical equity distributions since the inception of the original CLOs. Note the

original closing date for the three re-issued CLOs are the following: CIFC 2013-III (Sep-13), CIFC 2014-II (May-14), and CIFC 2014-IV (Sep-14).

CIFC currently manages 37 CLOs across its investment

management platform

• The CIFC CLO Fund Family ("CIFC Fund Family") includes

over 40 CLOs originated by CIFC

• CIFC Fund Family has made equity distributions on every

payment date since inception despite the severe market

disruption of 2008-2009

• On average, our post-recession CLOs have realized 16.8%

in cumulative annualized equity returns to date2

• CIFC Fund Family has meaningfully outperformed the S&P/
