Market Conditions Cannot Be Any Better for Private Credit. (By William Wong, 31st July 2023)
A Golden Period for Private Credit
Market conditions cannot be any better for private credit. As one of the leaders in alternative investments, we are fortunate at iPartners to be able to take full advantage of the capital-constrained environment for capital raisers.
As equity markets continue to be volatile and uncertain, returns on private credit have been increasing, with higher-yielding credit now able to provide equity-like returns without the volatility and uncertainty of equities. Our family of diversified funds is ideally placed.
iPartners High Yield Fund
In June 2023, the Fund delivered a net return of 11.7% p.a.
The Fund’s strategy is focused on high-yielding private credit. We see the exceptional value in the high-yield segment to continue for some time.
iPartners Investment Fund
In June 2023, the Fund delivered a net return of 11.0% p.a.
Performance continues as designed with a diversified portfolio of high-quality assets delivering superior risk-adjusted returns with stable monthly income.
iPartners Core Income Fund
In June 2023, the Fund delivered a net return of 8.8% p.a.
With a low-risk profile focused on senior secured assets, returns reflect increases in base rates and new deployment at attractive yields.
iPartners Conservative Fund
The Declared Rate for the Fund is currently 5.1% p.a.
Compared to low-interest or term products, the Fund offers an attractive rate with fortnightly distributions and redemptions.
We are also pleased that the Funds are now available to investors in New Zealand and Singapore.
In this edition, we set out in more detail current conditions in private markets, how we incorporate economic conditions in our investment process and the defensive positioning across the portfolio for any potential downturn.
