Investment Composition:
As of the end of October 2016, the company's investment portfolio comprised a broad range of assets, including a diversified alternative asset management business, TFG Asset Management, and covered bank loans (including equity tranches of U.S. and European CLOs, U.S. CLO mezzanine tranches and U.S. senior secured loans), real estate, equities, credit, convertible bonds and infrastructure, as well as cash.  Derivative mark-to-market gains and losses are contained within net other assets or liabilities.

   
    (1) TFG invests substantially all its capital through a master fund, Tetragon
        Financial Group Master Fund Limited (TFGMF) in which it holds a 100% share.
    (2) Fair Value Net Assets are determined by adjusting the U.S. GAAP Net Asset Value
        ($1,813.3 million) to give effect to the de-consolidation of certain TFG
        Asset Management businesses that are currently consolidated under U.S. GAAP
        (-$32.5 million), and the inclusion of their fair values ($167.0 million). The
        fair values used are as determined by TFG's Audit Committee based on
        information provided by an independent valuation specialist. The Fair Value
        Net Assets are also adjusted to reflect imputed incentive fees (-$23.2 million)
        that would otherwise have arisen if these Fair Values were actually reflected in
        the U.S. GAAP accounting for TFG's financial statements, all subject to rounding.
    (3) Calculation is with reference to U.S. GAAP Shares outstanding (approximately
        91.6 million), which is determined by reducing TFG legal shares issued and
        outstanding by approximately 39.0 million shares held in treasury and 9.1
        million shares held in aggregate in escrow accounts, all subject to rounding.
        Pro Forma Fully Diluted Shares adjusts the U.S. GAAP shares outstanding
        (91.6 million) for the impact of certain escrow shares used as consideration in
        the Polygon transaction and associated stock dividends (together, 3.2 million),
        equity-based awards (0.7 million) and for the potential impact of share options
        issued (2.4 million). These options represent the intrinsic value of shares
        available for the GreenOak founders as at the end of October 2016 (1.0 million)
        plus potential impact of options issued to TFG's Investment Manager at the time of
        TFG's IPO (1.4 million), all subject to rounding.
    (4) Calculation is with reference to Fair Value Net Assets ($1,924.7 million)
        divided by Pro Forma Fully Diluted Shares outstanding (approximately 97.9
        million), all subject to rounding.
    (5) The NAV per Share calculation is after accruing for the dividend relating to
        Q3 2016. Any adjustments to net assets or shares resulting from the optional
        stock dividend program will be reflected next month upon the transfer
        of the applicable shares.

Investment Composition (continued):

The geographical allocation of TFG's investments was determined to be 47.4% U.S., 9.5% Europe and 3.4% Asia at month-end.  Investments in certain hedge funds and other investment vehicles which have underlying investments that span more than one geographic region are considered to be "global" and represent 39.7%.  Interests in asset management businesses have been excluded from this calculation.
