Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation – SMBC Group today announces that it has successfully established its inaugural private credit fund with €450m investable capital from a diverse group of limited partners including secondary and strategic investors in Europe, the Middle-East and Asia Pacific. The European Middle Market Credit Fund was established through a transaction comprised of a secondary purchase of a strip of investments held on SMBC Group’s balance sheet, which forms a seed portfolio of high-quality performing loans, alongside a primary capital commitment. The deal was led by Pantheon’s private credit secondaries business, and Campbell Lutyens’ secondary advisory team, Clifford Chance and PwC advised SMBC Group on the transaction. The European Middle Market Credit Fund will focus on direct, senior-secured loan investments to middle-market private equity-backed businesses in Europe operating in resilient sectors less affected by economic trends, investing alongside SMBC Group’s balance sheet-driven private credit business including its successful joint venture programme with Park Square Capital. SMBC Group intends to significantly expand its asset management activities outside of Japan during the next 10 years, focusing on a range of alternative credit asset classes.

We hosted a "Nature Experience Program" last month at Senbonmatsu Farm, inviting 20 children from "Chance For All," an NPO that runs afterschool programs in Tokyo. Throughout the day, the children enjoyed learning about circular dairy farming, tasting fresh soft ice cream, interacting with animals, and cultivating the soil—rare opportunities for city-dwelling children. SMBC offers various events and experience programs for families, including support for educational opportunities. By collaborating with diverse partners, we aim to create a greater impact and contribute to a better society. #TeamSMBC #ChanceForAll
