Nothing contained herein constitutes investment, legal, tax or other advice nor is it to be relied on in making an investment or other decision. This quarterly update should not be viewed as a current or past recommendation or a solicitation of an offer to buy or sell any securities or to adopt any investment strategy. Investment characteristics shown are of the Securian AM-selected representative account that invests its assets pursuant to the Securian AM Investment Grade Private Credit strategy. This account represents a large, long-term discretionary mandate, that is well diversified, and is managed to an IPS containing general limitations common to insurance clients. As such, it was selected by the firm as the representative account that is deemed to best represent this management style. Each client account is individually managed; actual holdings will vary for each client and there is no guarantee that a particular client's account will have the same characteristics as described. Investing involves many inherent risks, including the potential loss of the entire investment. Opinions expressed herein are those of Securian AM only, and only as of the date indicated.
Private Placement Acquisition Spreads Disclosure
The “Spread Advantage” and “Average Quality” rows represent the average data for all securities purchased by Securian AM that provide a yield pick-up to plain vanilla, public corporate bonds. For each year through 2008, this data includes all private placement securities and certain 144a structured securities purchased by Securian AM. The 144a securities were included because each security had a combination of one or more of the following characteristics that made them more similar to private placements rather than public bonds, lack of registration rights, collateral, covenants, non-DTC eligibility and/or amortization. Beginning in 2009, private placement securities include securities that are private placements only.
