Investment risks and their minimization

Changes in the legislation of Ukraine, which could lead to worsening conditions or the actual inability to continue activities on returning bad debt to the creditors.

To minimize this risk, legal department of the Umbrella Management Company constantly monitors changes in the legislation of Ukraine and develops effective mechanisms to avoid newly formed risks.

On June 3, 2018, Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine adopted the Law on Strengthening the Rights of Creditors (Bill No. 6027-d “On Amending Certain Legislative Acts of Ukraine Regarding the Renewal of Lending”), which “aims to reduce risks for banking institutions and national/foreign investors” (cited by Oschadbank Chairman of the Board Andriy Pyshny).

Exchange rate risks

The risk of fluctuations in the national currency of Ukraine against the US dollar is taken into account in all business processes of Umbrella company:

In assessing the investment attractiveness of the Portfolio, the pessimistic long-term IMF forecast of the US dollar against the national currency of Ukraine is used;
In the cash flow management system.

In 2019, the national currency of Ukraine strengthened against the dollar by 12.5%. The IMF expects that by the end of the year, the dollar will cost an average of 26.75 UAH, but in 2020 it will grow to 27.72 UAH, and in 2021 – to 28.7 UAH. According to the forecasts of the Fund, in 2022 the dollar against the hryvnia will amount to UAH 29.67, in 2023 – UAH 30.64, and in 2024 – UAH 31.61 (https://www.imf.org/en/Publications/ WEO / Issues / 2019/10/01 / world-economic-outlook-october-2019).

The risk of not receiving the planned income (non-return on investments)

To minimize the risk of not receiving the planned income (non-return on investments), Umbrella company uses its balanced scorecard and Portfolio management process monitoring system* (see Annex 1).

Period	1st quarter	2nd quarter	3rd quarter	4th quarter	5th quarter	6th quarter	7th quarter	8th quarter	Total
Dynamics of portfolio income, % of planned revenues for the period of 2 years	3%	7%	8%	14%	21%	20%	21%	6%	100%
Investor Payments	3%	3%	3%	3%	3%	3%	3%	103%	124%

Dynamics of planned revenues by quarters, % of total planned revenues

Umbrella company manages several portfolios simultaneously. The company plans to manage 10 portfolios with a total debt of about $ 150 million in 2020.

There being presence of the Portfolios at different stages of management, this allows the Company to effectively plan cash flow and guarantee timely payments to the investors.

Umbrella Financial Company uses its own funds to invest in the Portfolios / parts of the Portfolios, partially assuming its risks of not receiving planned income.

Loan agreements are developed for each individual investor, based on the agreements reached, the form of the investor ownership, as well as the legislation requirements of the country where the investor has its registration.

According to the Ukrainian law, a resident of Ukraine, paying income to a non-resident in the form of a loan (credit) agreement interest, is required to withhold the interest tax on non-resident income (income from repatriation) from the amount of the interest.

The total tax rate is 15%. The tax rate and procedure for its deduction / payment in Ukraine does not depend on the recipient of income status and applies to legal entities as well as to individuals.

If you have invested $ 500 000 and your income is $ 120 000, in which that case you pay 15% tax for the income amount, namely $ 18 000.
