It helps me think about sizing if we are adding to an existing position.

Fixed Income Idea - We own $2MM of the Exela 10% 2023 bonds. I bought them in October 2017. Currently we are up $250K ($113K from price appreciation and the balance from interest). This is an Apollo sponsored technology services company (Apollo owns 20%). Currently the bonds are trading at $102.75 yielding 9.16%. The JPM credit team this can trade up to $105 plus the 10% coupon giving a —12% annual return. I think this is a partial replacement for the $3MM Kindred bonds that were called this week. I would add $1-2MM. 2. Equity Idea from the team who gave the CD Projekt (polish gaming stock) idea - EFTA00826033
