Unsecured Consumer Loans
In December 2016 Crescent Sky launched The Crescent Sky Consumer Lending Fund (“CSCLF”). The Fund has generated current income and total return by investing in a select group of short duration unsecured consumer loans at attractive yields. Crescent Sky’s proprietary algorithm has attempted to select loans that exhibit superior performance. The Fund’s data-driven model strives to select loans that capture the greatest amount of net spread (coupon less losses) but also have strong loss coverage multiples (loan interest rate divided by expected annual loss rate). The Fund also employs a frequent trading strategy mainly comprised of equity, debt securities and funds, designed to realize gains based upon short-term market fluctuations and volatility.
