A well-established financial services sponsor is seeking to appoint a senior investment leader to scale a fund that it launched in 2024.
The fund specialises in investing in the structured asset-backed debt of non-bank lenders and other financial services platforms, with a flexible mandate within the sector. Since inception, the fund has delivered net IRRs >12% p.a. and grown to c. $100m in size. The fund forms part of a broader investment platform that together manages more than $9 billion of assets, which is led by an experienced team with long-term track record in this investment strategy.
This is an opportunity to lead a dedicated investment vehicle, building on strong foundations from which to grow, including a high-quality returns track record, access to capital, investment momentum and the backing of a proven sponsor that incubates fund managers.
