Investment portfolio

One of the most significant trends in Global Legal Counsel for fund managers over the last few years has been the strong trend toward “Investment portfolio financings”.

Global Legal Counsel Capital investment data

The charts provide individual investment detail about Global Legal Counsel capital provision-direct and strategic value investments, as those terms are defined in Global Legal Counsel 2019 annual report, which also contains the context for the charts. The charts are updated through 31 December 2019. The charts should not be relied upon separately from the 2019 annual report. Global Legal Counsel disclaims any obligation to update the charts, although intends to do so at the time of its release of its 2020 interim results. “Commit” means Global Legal Counsel commitment to an investment; “Deploy” means Global Legal Counsel cash investment; “Recover” means Global Legal Counsel recovery upon partial realization or investment conclusion; “ROIC” means return on invested capital; and “IRR” means internal rate of return, all as further used and defined in Global Legal Counsel annual report. Weighted average life is computed consistently with Global Legal Counsel historical practice using the actual timing of cash flows; for some fund-only investments, final life is provided instead and is based on investment life. In addition, we have expanded our disclosure this period to include the individual investment detail for the Strategic Value fund.

Global Legal Counsel investment portfolio is constantly evolving and we from time to time amend our internal treatment of various investment parameters. Investments with such changes have their investment number shown in italics with an accompanying note. We also note changes in deployments or recoveries with an “x”; changes in commitment amounts on existing investments are noted in a separate column. Certain totals and sub-totals may not sum exactly due to rounding differences.
