CapitaLand Investment, known as CLI, committed 20% as a sponsor. The fund has already been allocated to five first mortgage loans across logistics, office and living assets in Sydney and the Seoul Metropolitan Area as part of its plan to scale its asset-light fund management platform, the release said. The latest pool is the second in its flagship regional credit series and adds about $600 million to its funds under management. The strategy focuses on senior secured investments, positioning it defensively at a time when broader segments of the credit market face increasing stress.

The fundraise also comes against a backdrop of tightening bank lending conditions and growing demand for flexible capital solutions. “Our disciplined focus on senior secured, asset-backed investments positions us away from the challenges currently facing the wider credit sector,” Kishore Moorjani , chief executive officer of alternatives, private funds, said in the statement.
