Harvest Credit provides advisory services to a single-investor Fund (the “HP Credit Fund”) and certain managed accounts (each, an “HP Credit Account”), and Harvest Credit provides sub- advisory services in respect of certain assets of private CLOs (together with the HP Credit Fund and the HP Credit Accounts, the “HP Credit Clients”, and collectively with the Private Funds, the “Funds”). The HP Credit Clients principally pursue a credit investment strategy pursuant to their respective investment management agreements and Fund Governing Documents, as applicable (together with the Private Fund Governing Documents, the “Governing Documents”). As the investment adviser to the Funds, Harvest is responsible for evaluating and monitoring Fund investments and providing day-to-day managerial and administrative services to the Funds. Harvest sources, structures and negotiates potential investments, monitors the performance of portfolio companies and advises the Funds as to the disposition of investment holdings. The individual needs of the investors in the Funds are not the basis of investment decisions by Harvest. Investment advice is provided directly to the Funds by Harvest and not individually to the Funds’ investors. As of December 31, 2023, Harvest had regulatory assets under management of approximately $21,090,147,000, including approximately $20,132,195,000 on a discretionary basis and approximately $957,952,000 on a non-discretionary basis.
