🚀 Exciting News Alert! 🚀 The landscape of finance is evolving rapidly, and one area that’s garnering increasing attention is the private credit market. Today, I’m thrilled to announce the launch of the Kairos Credit Income Fund, poised to capitalize on the growing importance and influence of this dynamic sector. Why is the private credit market gaining such prominence? 📈 1. Diversification: With traditional fixed-income assets offering lower yields, investors are turning to private credit for higher returns and portfolio diversification. 2. Flexibility: Private credit offers a more flexible approach to lending, allowing for tailored solutions that meet the unique needs of borrowers. 3. Resilience: The private credit market has demonstrated resilience, even during times of economic uncertainty, making it an attractive option for investors seeking stability. The launch of the Kairos Credit Income Fund represents an exciting opportunity for investors to tap into this burgeoning market and potentially unlock new sources of income. Join us in navigating the future of finance with the Kairos Credit Income Fund! #PrivateCredit #Finance #Investing #KairosCreditIncomeFund Kairos Capital Group Dylan NG Razif Ramzan Ding Bang L.

It's great to have our Managing Partner, Olav Ostin, featured in the latest article from the team at SecondaryLink on the rise of specialised secondaries and the increased interest from LPs in this space. As the piece articulates, the bullish outlook on the secondary market is only getting stronger as the space gears up for record volumes in 2024. As Olav states, "LPs are more interested in secondaries funds than they were two or three ears ago. Every LP you talk to now is saying that secondaries are of interest to them. Even the ones who have ever looked at secondaries are trying to find out how to position themselves in the secondary market."

Brother, can you spare a commitment? Everyone knows the capital-raising circuit has been brutal over the past year. By most counts, pledges from the biggest LPs are down by half to #cre funds, as we all wait out stubbornly high #interestrates and a continued fall-off in #investmentsales. So, in a tough market, who's corralled the most from #pensionfunds, #endowments and #foundations? Green Street's Real Estate Alert is publishing its annual fund report tomorrow, which tracks some 600 active #property and #debt funds and shows how much managers want to raise, have raised and have already deployed.
