Asset-backed SME private credit strategy
Focus on capital preservation & monthly income
Cash Target Return of 10.0 - 12.0% p.a. (net)
About Us
Rixon Capital is the Investment Manager of the Rixon Income Fund (“Fund”).
The Fund was ranked the #1 Asset-Backed Lending Strategy (Asia-Pac) in the Q3 2023 Preqin Honor Roll.
Our investment team has executed over $200 million in secured high-yield SME private credit lends since 2018, and over $10 billion in public & private market M&A.
The Fund is a private credit strategy focused on asset backed, senior secured lending that generates net monthly income of 0.92 - 1.00% for investors.
The Fund delivers an institutional, non-dilutionary funding solution to high quality borrowers seeking loans of $2m - $10m.
This lending segment is too small for large funds that seek to deploy large minimum cheques.
By targeting an underserviced niche the Fund generates a market-leading investor return via a scarcity premium rather than a risk premium.
The Fund offers investors a market leading degree of transparency, reflecting a de facto returns enhancement as they have visibility of portfolio composition & risk.
The Fund underwrites loans on a strict, prescribed mandate with all loans requiring:
- First ranking, senior security; and
- Registered security over real assets (property, equipment, receivables)*; and
- Interest paid monthly in cash;
- Borrower to be a third-party (no related party loans); and
- Unanimous approval from an Independent Investment Committee
*NIL value is ascribed to intangible assets such as valuation reports and equity as the Rixon Income Fund strategy requires real asset collateral
