Private credit might sound complicated or intimidating at first, but when you cut through the jargon, it’s simply another way to diversify your investments and grow your wealth. It’s a space that was once considered the domain of institutions and ultra-wealthy investors, but is now more accessible than ever to experienced investors looking for stable, long-term returns.
If you’re exploring new ways to strengthen your portfolio—and want more than what the traditional markets are offering—private credit may be worth a closer look.
Why Consider Investing in a Private Credit Fund?
Private credit is part of the broader private markets landscape and focuses on lending to businesses outside the traditional banking system. It offers investors the potential for strong, predictable returns, backed by real-world assets and managed with a clear risk profile.
At PSA Capital Investments, we’re specialists in private credit funding, offering opportunities through our tailored investment approach. Here’s why investing in private credit might be the right move for you:
Low-Risk Investment Opportunities
One of the biggest advantages of investing in PSA’s Encore Fund Management is our commitment to maintaining a low loan-to-value ratio (LVR). We never exceed a 75% LVR, and currently, our lending sits comfortably at around 56.5%. This conservative approach helps keep the fund low-risk, giving your investment a stronger foundation. Every borrower must also provide a fully paid-off asset as security, adding an extra layer of protection.
Secure, Asset-Backed Investments
Our fund primarily invests in commercial businesses backed by secure assets. This includes sectors such as:
- Commercial properties
- Advanced manufacturing businesses
- Commercial equipment
- Investment businesses with solid asset bases
We also diversify into high-quality residential real estate, lifestyle retirement villages, hospitality venues, office buildings, retail spaces, and industrial properties. These investments are often in small and medium businesses across Australia, helping to support the economy while generating returns. This means your capital is backed by real, income-producing assets that hold long-term value and offer greater security.
The Benefits of Private Credit for Investors
Stable and Consistent Income
Investors receive stable monthly interest payments with returns typically delivering 4.50% above the cash rate, significantly outperforming traditional cash investments. This provides a reliable income stream for investors seeking steady performance without the volatility of the share market.
Transparency and Simplicity
We understand investing can be complex, which is why our application process is straightforward. If you’re a wholesale investor, you’ll simply need to provide personal details and confirm the source of your investment funds. You can choose between an off-the-shelf investment solution or discuss a bespoke arrangement offering potentially higher returns for larger investments.
Liquidity When You Need It
While private credit often requires your funds to be locked away for extended periods, we offer flexibility. After the first 12 months, you can redeem your investment within a three-month period if required, providing valuable peace of mind.
Experienced Management Team
At PSA, your investment is in the capable hands of our experienced team, who specialise in managing credit and business investments. We’re committed to transparency, clear communication, and providing sophisticated investors with full visibility of how their money is working.
Capital Buffer for Added Security
In many private credit funds, a capital buffer is used to help protect investors from potential losses. We allocate 10% of the fund from its own capital, which acts as a first-loss buffer, absorbing any losses before investor funds are affected and helping to reduce downside risk.
