Enabling mid-market growth with deep asset class expertise
A clear strategic focus and investment discipline to source, execute and manage performing private credit opportunities with a compelling risk/reward profile for sophisticated international investors.
Focused Strategy
Our focus markets of India and ASEAN-6 are among the fastest growing large economies in the world. Established mid-market businesses within them have significant growth prospects, but face a shortage of institutional and customized growth capital. We are focused on creating attractive investment opportunities that provide capital solutions to fund their ambitions.
1.9x GDP growth over the next decade
54% of GDP generated by the SME sector
68% see non-traditional lenders as critical
"Leading mid-market businesses are best placed to capture the growth opportunities available in the region because they’re often dominant output contributors in a majority of economic sectors. They also benefit from strong tail winds generated by key trends including supply chain adjustments, continued reforms and digitalization that put them at the forefront of their markets."
