Gearing Policy

The Company may use borrowings and other gearing to seek to enhance investment returns at a level (not exceeding 20 per cent. of the Company’s net assets calculated at the time of drawdown) which the Directors, the AIFM and Rising Sun consider to be appropriate.

It is expected that gearing will primarily comprise bank borrowings, public bond issuance or private placement borrowings, although overdraft or revolving credit facilities may be used to increase acquisition and cash flow flexibility.
