TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Jan. 21, 2016) - (TSX:SSF.UN) Investors and investment advisors are invited to listen to a January, 2016 recorded update on the US Senior Loan Market, hosted by Larry Holzenthaler of Symphony Asset Management ("Symphony"). Symphony discusses some of the recent trends in the Senior Loan and High Yield Markets, along with providing commentary on US economic growth. A link to the presentation recorded on January 13, 2016 has been posted to the Brompton Funds website at http://bromptongroup.com/funds/fund/ssf/overview.

Symphony Floating Rate Senior Loan Fund (the "Fund") invests primarily in floating-rate Senior Loans, which are the most senior corporate obligations of a borrower, and are secured by the borrower's assets. As a result, Senior Loans have a first-priority secured claim on repayment ahead of bonds and equity. Senior Loans also feature floating rate interest payments which may help investors avoid potential negative performance of fixed-rate bonds in periods of rising interest rates. Symphony believes that senior loan credit fundamentals remain strong as U.S. economic growth remains intact and corporate default rates are expected to remain low.
