SEA Deal Ticker
Equity is thin, so money arrives as debt: Partners Group closes a $1B Asia credit mandate
One Asian institutional investor committed the mandate under an open-ended evergreen structure covering senior and junior direct lending. Partners Group now runs over $40 billion of private credit across seven Asian offices.
Positive-sum angle: Sovereign funds and insurers across Southeast Asia are adding private-credit allocations, which hands companies too large for venture and too small for the bond market a lender that is not a bank.
