Why Private Credit?

Uncorrelated to public markets

Private credit investments demonstrate low correlation with financial markets in comparison to publicly traded assets such as stocks and bonds. This lack of correlation implies that the returns on private credit investments exhibit independence from broader movements in the financial market.

Asset-Backed Lending

Asset-backed lending is when a borrower uses their assets as collateral to secure a loan, and if they can’t repay, the lender can take those assets. Private credit with it's flexibility and bespoke approach, takes advantage of cash generating assets entering into asset-backed lending, utilizing the borrower's assets as collateral.

Flexibility

Private credit offers borrowers with unique financial circumstances the advantage of bespoke loan terms and repayment schedules. This enables borrowers to customise the arrangements to suit their needs better.

Underserved by banks

Banks tend to be conservative and follow increasingly strict lending criteria, favoring large corporate loans and public securities. In contrast, private credit has wider investment mandate, make faster lending decisions, and bespoke approach to each transaction.

Geographical Reach

Banks operate only in the market with a banking license, and each local country bank is independent, focusing only on that local country market. Private credit is genuinely global, catering to borrowers in multiple counties and underserved geographical regions, offering them much-needed financial services.

Why consumer and
SME loans

Investing in consumer and SME loans is an emerging and fast-growing part of the private credit universe. As banks retreated from lending retail and SME lending after 2008, they have left the last mile lending to non-bank lenders with lower customer acquisition costs, fine-tuned credit scoring models, and strong digital presence. The banking retreat has created a burgeoning sector of finance where innovative products came to fruition.

Accessing capital markets is crucial for non-bank lenders with no cheap deposit base to rely on as banks do. The need for ample capital has created innovative capital markets products ranging from loan warehousing, to bond issuances, and peer to peer investing.

Consumer and SME loan portfolios are suitable for asset-backed lending transactions as they possess many desirable properties like:

(1) diversification across thousands of small loans
(2) stable and predictable cash flows
(3) relatively short duration
(4) high margin achieved by the non-bank lenders
