PLANS

STERLING SYNDICATED LOAN PLAN

The syndicated loan market allows a more efficient geographical and institutional sharing of risk. North American and European banks raise funds to loan to emerging market borrowers and allocate these loans to local banks. Syndicated loans and credits allow the sharing of credit risk between various financial Institutions and have become a significant source of international financing.

Through the creation of private placements and tax efficient SPV's for private and institutional clients Sterling Capital is active in the syndicated loan markets and can arrange access to the wholesale secondary market.

The first private placement aimed at the private client market. Sterling Capital has created the first of these to become available. Members of Sterlings’ management team have had 20 years' combined experience in this arena and have had prior representation at Board level on the City of London's Loan Market Association, and have been involved in a number of prestigious transactions and awards including:

South Asian FRN House of the Year 1997
Arranger in France Telecom £400 Million Syndication 2000
Indian Loan House of the Year 1998

Investment in this rapidly growing asset class provides investors with exposure to large companies without the volatility of the stock market. Moreover as loans are priced at a floating rate over 3 month Libor, the margin over Libor to investors is unaffected by movements in interest rates. Investments in fixed income markets experience falling yields as interest rates rise. Investors also benefit from tighter loan covenants providing them with more security than in the fixed income market.

STERLING YIELD ENHANCEMENT PLAN

As one of the leading market makers in the With Profits markets and Traded Endowment markets Sterling Capital and has created a solution with great advantages over flagging With Profit Bond investments involving no further capital and no additional exposure to the stock market.

With Profit investors are already experiencing high MVA's and lower than expected returns. Interest rates rises may negatively impact the performance of those With Profits funds with a significant exposure to fixed interest securities which have been purchased with fixed interest coupons. The Sterling Yield Enhancement Programme is an ideal way to enhance return and diversify exposure to one fund without taking on additional risk.
