To us, credit analysis is not so much a process of measuring the probabilities of whether money defaults will or will not occur, but rather measuring how the creditor will
fare in a reorganization or liquidation if a money default does occur.
TAVF restricts its investments
in credit instruments to issues containing strong protective covenants; where the prospects of a money default are remote, where the Fund would
fare at least okay
in the subsequent
reorganization in the event of a money default; and where the cash return appears to be at least 500 basis points better than can otherwise be obtained from a credit of comparable quality.
