In order to meet the requirements of such obligations, such Service Providers, from time-to-time, would not be acting on our instructions but instead in accordance with their own respective professional or legal obligations and, therefore, would be acting as data controllers in their own right with respect to such processing. For more specific information or requests in relation to the processing of personal data by such service providers, you may also contact the relevant Service Provider directly, and we can provide relevant contact information upon request. With respect to Sponsored Funds, Service Provider contact information may be found in the prospectus or confidential private placement memorandum of the applicable Sponsored Fund.

For example, we may combine information that we have collected offline with information we collect online. We combine information that we have collected across other third party sites. We combine information across devices, such as computers and mobile devices. We may also combine information we get from a third party with information we already have.
Where personal data is required to satisfy a statutory or regulatory obligation (including compliance with applicable anti-money laundering or sanctions requirements) or a contractual requirement, failure to provide such information may result in our advisory agreement with you, or, as applicable, yoursubscription in the applicable Sponsored Fund being rejected or terminated, and/or your interests in a Sponsored Fund becoming subject to compulsory redemption or withdrawal, as applicable. Where there is suspicion of unlawful activity, failure to provide personal data may result in the submission of a report to the relevant law enforcement agency or supervisory authority.
We may disclose certain personal data about you to our affiliates, Service Providers or other third parties to onboard you as an advisory client, or in the case of Sponsored Fund investors, to accept your subscription, administer and maintain your account(s), or otherwise perform our contractual obligations. We may also need to share your personal data: (i) with courts, ombudsmen, regulatory, tax, law enforcement, or other non-governmental regulators and/or authorities to comply with applicable legal or regulatory requirements; (ii) to respond to court orders, or in the context of regulatory requests for information, administrative proceedings, or investigations; or (iii) when we believe in good faith that disclosure is legally required or we or a Sponsored Fund have a legitimate interestinmaking a disclosure, such as where necessary to protect our or a Sponsored Fund’s rights and property. We will also release information about you if you direct us to do so.

From time-to-time, we will review the purpose for which personal data has been collected and decide whether to retain it or to delete if it no longerserves any purpose to us.

This Site is offered to you conditioned on your acceptance without modification of the terms, conditions, and notices contained herein. Your use of this Site constitutes your agreement to all such terms, conditions, and notices.
The Shenkman Group (the “Shenkman Group”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) consists of Shenkman Capital Management, Inc., and its affiliates and subsidiaries, including, without limitation, Shenkman Capital Management Ltd, Romark Credit Advisors LP, and Romark CLO Advisors LLC. The Shenkman Group reserves the right to change the terms, conditions, and notices under which this Site is offered, and such changes are effective immediately. You are bound by such changes and thus should periodically visit this page to review the then-current terms and conditions. If you do not agree to be bound by and subject to these Terms of Service, you must not access or use this Site.
No Offer of Securities or Advice
This Site sets forth general information about the Shenkman Group and the services it provides. The material on this Site is not intended to be, and should not be considered as, impartial investment advice, an offering of investment advisory services or an offer to sell or a solicitation to buy any securities. Any offer to sell or any solicitation to buy securities in any jurisdiction, including without limitation any interest of an investment fund or vehicle managed by the Shenkman Group. Any offer to sell or any solicitation to buy securities of an investment fund or vehicle managed by the Shenkman Group will be made only by means of the Prospectus or Offering Memorandum relating to that fund or vehicle. All interests in securities of any fund or vehicle shall not be offered or sold in any jurisdiction in which such an offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful or would require registration of disclosure until the requirements of the laws, rules and regulations of such jurisdiction have been satisfied. Access to information about such funds is limited to investors who, among other requirements, either qualify as “accredited investors” and “qualified purchasers” within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules promulgated thereunder, or those investors who generally are sophisticated in financial matters, such that they are capable of evaluating the merits and risks of prospective investments.
Nothing contained on the Site constitutes tax, accounting, regulatory, legal, or investment advice.
Investment Risk
The investment strategies and services discussed on this Site may not be suitable for all investors. Shenkman makes no representations that the contents contained herein are appropriate in all jurisdictions or for all investors or counterparties.
This Site does not undertake to explain the risks associated with any investment strategy referred to herein. No person or entity should invest in any strategy referred to herein unless satisfied that it (or its investment representative) has asked for and received all information that would enable it (or them) to evaluate the merits and risks thereof. Investment in any strategies described on the Site carries substantial risk, including the possible loss of principal. Past performance is not a guarantee of future results.
AI and Machine Learning
Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (“AI”) technologies can be used for many purposes, such as supporting repeatable functions or streamlining processes. AI risks, like those of other technology, can appear in many ways. AI systems’ main function is continuous learning – as the technology provides services, it takes in new information for future reference. This raises a concern for data privacy, including whether AI systems save confidential client information, and if so, how that information is protected from cybersecurity breaches. There are four primary risks associated with the use of AI, data privacy, biased algorithms, predictive analytics bias, and risk of cyber-attacks.
The firm leverages externally sourced AI to enhance various business functions and has adopted the following policy around its usage. The firm’s intent is to make certain that any AI based initiatives are developed, deployed, and managed in compliance with applicable laws and regulations and that they contain appropriate controls.
Members of the firm are utilizing AI based technology to assist with the screening and cataloging of data. Future uses might include research, forecasting, selection, optimization, order routing, execution, and allocation processes. Any use of AI when deployed will operate with human oversight. While the firm has implemented controls and oversight of AI, there is no guarantee that they will always function as intended.
