Defender Credit Fund
The investment objective of the Fund is to generate steady returns for Unit Holders by investing in a diverse portfolio of quality SME and middle market corporate Loans typically secured against residential or commercial property.
About Fund
The Fund has been established to take advantage of the gap in Australia’s business Loan market, and area under-serviced by the Big Four banks, in which the Manager believes there are strong risk adjusted return opportunities available in Australia’s alternate Loan market. The Fund’s investment strategy focuses on investing only in Loans to SME and mid-market companies with appropriate collateral pools. Using this approach, we allocate:
- Up to 100% of our portfolio to diversified senior
secured Loans. - From 10% – 15% of our portfolio to special situation, subordinated or unsecured short dated senior Loans
