Fund Objective

The investment objective of the Fund is to achieve superior risk-adjusted returns, preserve capital and minimize volatility.

To achieve its investment objective the Fund intends to invest substantially all of its assets in non-voting shares of Ninepoint Canadian Senior Debt Feeder Fund Ltd. (the “Feeder Fund”), a Cayman Islands exempted company, which will in turn invest substantially all of its assets in limited partnership interests of Ninepoint Canadian Senior Debt Master Fund LP (the “Master Fund”), a Cayman Islands exempted limited partnership. As a result, the performance of the Fund will be dependent on the performance of the Feeder Fund, which in turn will be dependent on the performance of the Master Fund.

The Master Fund will primarily invest, directly or indirectly, in a portfolio of first priority or first lien senior secured, traditional asset based loans to Canadian companies.
